Free Web NovelChapter 1278: Chapter 1275: Monarch, Qin Zhan
Releasing the man’s lower lip, Bi Xia looked at the clear and obvious bite mark with traces of blood. It was clear how hard Bi Xia had bitten, but the man remained calm, his phoenix eyes filled with a doting smile. His voice was deep and reserved, sounding both aggrieved and playful, but most of all, gentle. "It hurts."
Staring deeply at him, Bi Xia gave a cold laugh, "Let it hurt you to death, then!"
"Your spiritual power is almost exhausted, your face is injured, and even your spiritual body can’t mask the bloody smell coming from you, Qin Zhan!" Bi Xia’s voice was cold, "Did you forget that our earrings can sense each other’s physical condition? Do you think I’m stupid?"
Qin Zhan chuckled softly, "The ancient saying is very true."
"What?"
"A man who lies to his wife never ends well," Qin Zhan pulled Bi Xia back into his arms, "I really am not in Beijing. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want you to worry. So look, now that I’m injured, I’m even more afraid to tell my wife, right?"
"Qin Zhan, when did you come up with so many ridiculous excuses!"
"Haha, can’t help it. Our Jiu always has lots of twisted logic. This is probably called ’being stained black by association’, right?"
Bi Xia: ...
Rendered speechless by Qin Zhan, Bi Xia bumped his head hard against Qin Zhan’s chest, making Qin Zhan suck in a breath of air, "Baby, don’t mess around. I’m really hurt here."
With brows furrowed tightly, "What happened?"
Seeing the concern on Bi Xia’s face, Qin Zhan smiled and gently stroked Bi Xia’s short hair, soothing with a soft voice, "Be good, it’s nothing. Just got scratched by some debris."
...How could a mere scratch from debris connect to a spiritual body!
Bi Xia didn’t expose Qin Zhan’s lie. Since Qin Zhan didn’t want to say it, Bi Xia wouldn’t keep asking. Gently stroking Qin Zhan’s chest, Bi Xia gradually transferred his spiritual power into Qin Zhan’s spiritual body.
The phoenix eyes glanced to the side, a helpless smile forming, "I recover quickly. Your spiritual power just came back. Don’t waste it."
Bi Xia pursed his lips, "Waste?"
After a pause, Bi Xia suddenly shouted, "I’m giving spiritual power to my man, and you dare say it’s a waste?! Qin Zhan, if you don’t believe me, I can locate you right now and fly over to beat you up!"
Seeing Bi Xia explode like a little wolf, Qin Zhan laughed lowly. Having recovered his spiritual power thanks to Bi Xia, Qin Zhan felt even more relaxed, coaxing, "Okay, I was wrong. Don’t be mad, alright?"
"I really wish you’d come and beat me up," the phoenix eyes curved slightly, "That way, I wouldn’t be holding a mere spiritual body but the real you. Then I could hold you before you get angry and kiss away your temper?"
"..." Bi Xia pouted, muttering, "You’re so shameless!" Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Qin Zhan smiled without saying anything.
"Where are you now?" Bi Xia asked.
"...Country A," Qin Zhan spoke, "They’ve tracked down the SP organization’s movements. Most importantly... they’ve found traces similar to Han Fan. You know... Han Fan disappeared for my sake back then..."
"Han Fan... is that Third Brother?"
"Yes, it’s him," Qin Zhan kissed the top of Bi Xia’s head, "So, even if it’s fake, I need to verify it for real before I can relax."
"...How is it on your side?"
"...Not good."
"...Don’t get hurt anymore..."
"Okay, I promise," Qin Zhan smiled.
Almost simultaneously they let go, looking at each other. After a pause, Bi Xia tiptoed up to kiss those thin lips, then kissed the injured cheek, his voice soft, "You should go now..."
The phoenix eyes gentle, his thin lips touched those star-like eyes softly. His body began to fade little by little, the golden spiritual power gradually dimming as well.
"Fourth Brother, have you ever seen the Galaxy?" Bi Xia suddenly asked.
"I’ve seen the aurora," Qin Zhan, gradually returning to his own body, replied using the spiritual power still connected in the Void Space, "Saw it once with those rowdy bastards on a mission. But I’ve never seen the Galaxy. Is it beautiful?"
Bi Xia slowly curled his lips, "Very beautiful. When you come back, let’s watch it together."
"Okay," Qin Zhan agreed, his phoenix eyes lifting slightly, gazing at the group approaching his hiding place. A flash of coldness crossed his eyes, "Jiu, if anyone from Beijing seeks you out, for whatever reason, I hope you refuse."
Listening to the agreement on the other side, Qin Zhan chuckled softly. He said something quietly, not waiting for Bi Xia’s response, as the spiritual power left in the Void Space completely disappeared, returning to Qin Zhan’s spiritual sea.
With a slight curl of his thin lips, the man leaned against the wall, slowly getting up. The golden-red spiritual power circled around him. When he stood upright, his phoenix eyes were blood-red, filled with the cold ruthlessness after a slaughter. Dressed in camouflage, the chilling aura slowly seeped out, no longer the dignified righteousness of the past. Instead, there was a fear-inducing blend of good and evil, his phoenix eyes under the disheveled hair flickering with a red-gold, grim and sinister.
In the darkness, drops of fresh blood fell from the man’s body, spreading a terrifying aura on the ground. As the military boots stepped forward, the splattered blood created a shocking pressure that rose straight to the face. The man was like a ruler looking down on everyone,
