Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 45

At the moment when Isar pressed her face, Xuexian had a very complicated emotion.

It was the sense of security that made him feel at ease after being dependent on each other for a long time, and the grievance after being treated roughly.

That should be it?

Xue Xian thought.

But the dragon's thinking is indeed difficult to synchronize with that of humans, and Isar quickly kissed Xue Xian's lips.The soft lips touched together, Isar sucked and licked the kiss very directly, Xue Xian's breathing suddenly became very rapid, he made a slight sound and wanted to back away, but Long Na's hand behind the back of the head The big hand didn't intend to let go.

Xuexian was forced to bear the kiss, his face was scalding hot.

He didn't quite resist Isar's kisses.

"It's only lovers who kiss".

This is an important concept Xue Xian figured out.

In his mind, the image of Moulton and Doris kissing behind the mound appeared in his mind, and his already disordered heartbeat was completely out of balance.

Isar may have understood why human beings left the island, but this did not change his mind. In the entanglement of lips and tongues, he hugged human beings tightly, causing Xuexian to flinch, and their lips parted.

"pain."

Xuexian's lips turned red, with a moist luster on them.

He showed some pained expression.

"You touched my wound."

The scales on Isar's face reflected a glimmer of light into his dark golden eyes.

Hearing Xue Xian's words, he lifted Xue Xian's clothes with his claw-shaped hands, and vaguely saw some shadows on the white and tender human skin.

It was pinched out when he was emotional before.

"...It's okay." Xue Xian pulled up his clothes and said, "Next time...don't do that again."

Their hearts are connected.

Xue Xian could feel the feeling of the dragon now, it was a very strong emotion, like a raging tide, in which the desire to invade did not diminish at all.After all, the differences between beasts and humans cannot be reconciled, at least not within such a short period of time.

"By Kagram."

The dragon didn't speak.

But Xuexian heard it.

It was transmitted from the depths of consciousness to Xue Xian's consciousness, which made him startled slightly.

Xuexian believes that he is at least half responsible for their current situation. He shouldn't treat Isael as a human being, but at the same time take it for granted that Isaac is just a beast that can't think—whether he understands it or not. Knowing what real nesting is, no matter what his starting point is, the so-called "pretend to cooperate" is an unacceptable arrogance.

He made a mistake and should take the initiative to solve the problem: "Let's go, Isael."

Xuexian took Isar's hand and walked a certain distance to the depths of the woods.

The woods in the night are shadowy, with the light of the actress cast in the gaps, plus some glowing fungi in the night, the tranquility is like an illusion.

They haven't had such a conversation yet, and Xuexian doesn't know how to start, because the premise of this start is based on the fact that Isael also has human emotions.

"Isar."

Xuexian turned his head, but Yisar was looking down at him.

Xuexian's eyes were very familiar, they were calm, focused, but full of possessiveness.

From the beginning of the highland in the lake, to the snowfield, to the moss field, and then to the desert Gobi, it seems that there are only two of them in the world.

— Dragons never change.

"Hmm." Isar made a low response in his throat, he always liked his Yuka calling him by name.

"Do you know?" Xuexian looked at Isar, "From the perspective of human beings, becoming a partner not only requires a certain ceremony, but also an emotional bond. That is to say, for us to be a partner requires the existence of love .”

Isar said in a deep voice, "...well."

Xuexian said: "There is not only a contract between souls, but also love. Love is a very special thing, I—"

Love can reach everything in the world.

Isar remembered what Xue Xian once said, and opened his mouth and said, "You, don't you love me?"

Xue Xian was stunned: "Of course not."

Of course he did not love Isar.

The Holy Son loves the world, Xuexian loves his teacher, everyone around him, his people, and of course his little dragon.

No, the love for Xiaolong is different from other humans.

Xuexian had never owned even a kitten before, let alone a dragon.The dragon and him depended on each other for life and death, and had gone through hardships, which was incomparable to the feeling for other people.

Isar is very special to Xuexian, otherwise he would not accept hugs, kisses, and...etc., is that the same love as human lovers?

Xuexian was stopped by himself, and his heartbeat that had just calmed down became chaotic again.

Does he love Isar?

What was that feeling like?

He seemed unable to answer.

This was even harder to understand than the most difficult subject Xuexian encountered in class, which made him look confused: "I..."

Isar waited, like he did when he was a little dragon, always giving Xuexian time.

"I need to think about it." Xue Xian was a little flustered, "Isar, I think I haven't figured out something..."

Isar didn't say anything superfluous from the beginning to the end, as if for a dragon, there is only a difference between whether it is recognized or not.Hearing Xuexian's words, Yisar just gently stroked his face with his black and sharp nails, showing some fascination and forbearance.

Isar likes Xuexian's confusion and crying.No, he likes Xuexian's reactions because of him.If possible, Isael would like to stay in the lair with his humans all the time, entangled day and night, and never separated.

But his humans said he needed to think about it.

"... Figure it out." Isar had already let Xuexian leave their lair, and at this moment, looking down at the petite human in front of him, he gave him time with a controlling tone, "Yuka."

There were some rustling sounds in the woods.

A thin and tall figure like a bamboo pole appeared not far away: "Holy Son?"

Xue Xian turned around and vaguely recognized who it was: "Moulton?"

It really was Moulton holding a sharp knife. He relaxed a little when he heard Xue Xian's voice, and put away his weapon: "What are you doing here? I thought it was some kind of beast."

Moulton got closer, and when he saw Isar behind Xue Xian, he paused in surprise: "He...why is he here?"

Yisar's hand stretched out from behind, loosely clasping Xuexian, letting him approach him, in a protective posture.

Moulton's intrusion aroused killing intent in the territorially conscious dragon. Xuexian couldn't see Isar's expression, but could hear the low-pitched menace coming from his throat, as well as Moulton's obviously changed expression.

"Isar!" Xue Xian stopped quickly, raised his head and said to Isar who was behind him, "He is not a bad person!"

Isar lowered his golden eyes and looked at Xue Xian's face.

His silver hair was scattered, and his non-human aura became more and more obvious.

This was the first time the dragon met a human being other than Xuexian after he transformed into a human. Xuexian grabbed his arm and said to him, "It's okay, his name is Moulton, and he's from this base."

Isar just said: "He took you."

Xue Xian quickly explained: "No, he didn't take me away. I wanted to come here myself."

At this time, another figure appeared behind Morton, which was Doris.

Apparently, Isar's appearance shocked them all. Even the generous and frank Doris hid behind Moulton, only showing half of her face: "His Royal Highness?"

"It's okay, Doris!" Xuexian said, "Don't be afraid, this is my friend, his name is Isael, and he is here to find me."

Isael looks so weird.

But Moulton and Roger had seen him before when they followed them, and they might have mentioned it to the people at the base, so although Doris was afraid, she still greeted him friendly: "Hello, my name is Doris, this is Morton."

It was very late, and most people at the base were already asleep.

Isar followed Xuexian out of the woods. Doris made friendly arrangements for the night's accommodation while observing Isar: "There is still a vacant room inside, and I have already made the bed. I didn't know your friend came. Originally It is only prepared for you alone, you may be a little crowded when you sleep."

Moulton spoke very directly. He had no objection to Xuexian, but some people in the base could not understand how the people in the base cared for Shengzi: "When there were many people before, couldn't three people sleep well?"

Dorothy tugged at his sleeve to signal him not to be so unfriendly.

Xuexian was not expensive, and said indifferently: "Thank you, Doris, but no need, Isael and I can sleep outside, and you don't need to make the bed for me."

At the supply station, Long was more resistant to contact with humans other than Xuexian, and the two of them had been camping all the time.

The dragon's body has a powerful temperature control function, which is called "super power" by Xue Xian, so he will neither catch cold nor heat.

As he said that, Xuexian had already taken a good look at the open space where everyone had burned the bonfire before, and dragged Isar over there.

Isar is much taller than Xuexian, and Doris could imagine Xuexian curled up in his arms, but she still kindly said: "It will cool down at night outside, and you must be very tired after walking all day today, the ground is so cold. It’s hard, and I’ll wake up with soreness tomorrow.”

Isar, who was standing beside Xue Xian, suddenly turned his head.

His hair is a very rare silver color, even the color of his eyelashes is very light, and a pair of golden pupils has never been seen by anyone.He was handsome, but also terrifying, with scales all over his skin. Doris guessed that it was a disease called ichthyosis, and felt a little sympathetic to him.

"Sleeping inside." Isar's voice was low, mixed with some noises that did not seem to be human, "Yuka."

Xuexian's face turned hot in front of others, forgetting that not everyone knows the meaning of "Yuka", and corrected in a low voice: "Call me by my name."

Yisar touched his face with his fingers again, pampering his temper: "Go sleep inside, Xuexian."

Xue Xian froze.

The dragon called him by his name, which didn't seem to be much better than "Yuka", why did he still feel a little unnatural.

This is a bit of a foul, obviously, they all agreed that they need to figure it out.

The empty "room" arranged by Doris is a soil cave near the exit, which is already larger than the other soil caves.Moulton lit oil lamps in the aisle and hung them on the walls, which could illuminate the range of some holes.

Next door to them is the old man named Ma Lun, who is a believer of Xue Xian.

Grandpa Ma Lun is over 80 years old, and his health is not good. The sound of breathing is like a balloon leaking, intermittently, and clearly transmitted to the room where they live.

There is a chiseled stone platform inside the hole, which is the bed of people.

Doris spread some hay underneath, and only the top layer was bedding, with dense stitches, Xue Xian could tell that it was all made up of clothes.As for where these clothes came from, he didn't dare to think about it.

This bed is indeed not too big, and it is indeed a bit cramped for the tall Yisar and Xuexian to be accommodated at the same time.Xue Xian crawled inside and lay down first, and when Yisaer also lay down and tried to hold him in his arms, Zheng Se refused.

"Come closer," he said to the dragon, "don't get too close to me."

Yisar lay on his side, facing Xue Xian: "Why?"

It was rare for Xue Xian to be willful, bit his lip, and insisted: "It's not allowed anyway."

Xuexian could still vividly recall all the bad deeds of the dragon the day before, and even felt that it was not a good idea to let them lie together now.

Those shameful and unethical scenes made the holy son, who was a blank sheet of paper, unbearable to look back on. Even if he got closer to Isar, it was enough to make him want to find a crack in the ground.

But Isar still hugged him, hugged him in his arms, and kissed him on the lips again.

Dragons don't care about ethics or species isolation.

Isar allowed Xue Xian to resist temporarily, but he did not allow Xue Xian to act strangely.He has a big body and strong arms. Xuexian couldn't break free at all, so he could only be forced to lean against his chest, his body pressed against him, and he could clearly feel that terrible thing pressing against him with a sense of presence. he.

In the place where there were only the two of them, under the dim light of the oil lamp, Isar's pupils became very round, and he looked at Xue Xian with those beast eyes for a while, then slowly closed them .

He won't do anything to Xue Xian today.

Xuexian gradually relaxed a little, looking at Yisar's face.

After a long time, he also closed his eyes tiredly.

The cave was very quiet, and soon, even the horrible breathing of Grandpa Mullen next door could no longer be heard.

After an unknown amount of time, they heard a piercing scream.

Everyone is awake.

Xuexian sat up suddenly from the bed, he could hear clearly that it was the scream of the deformed body.

Is someone sick?

Yisar woke up earlier than Xuexian, and was already standing under the bed. With him around, Xuexian was not very flustered.There were footsteps in the aisle, people were just awake, they didn't seem too flustered, they were whispering.

A middle-aged man appeared at the door of their room, whom Xuexian had seen in the afternoon.

The man seemed taken aback when he saw Isar, but he still stammered and told them: "It's all right, Your Highness, the sick man is calling."

Xuexian asked: "Patient?"

The man replied: "Well, there are, there are a few patients living underground."

Isar narrowed his eyes, and the man fell to the ground in fright, and hid back in a daze.Xue Xian walked over to help him up, asked where the patient was, and the man pointed towards the depth of the cave.

Xuexian hadn't been to the deepest point yet, but the screams continued, and people's reactions were a little abnormal.

He looked at Isar, and found that Isar was also looking in that direction, because he smelled danger.

"Go and have a look." Xuexian said.

"Hmm." Isar took down an oil lamp in the aisle, and said a string of dragon language, telling Xue Xian to follow him.

They went to the depths of the hole, where they saw Moulton, with two other helpers.

The expected danger did not happen. Moulton took out pieces of meat from the bamboo basket brought by his helper, and was throwing them into the underground grid.

It turned out that there was also a hole in the ground.

"Moulton." Xue Xian asked, "What are you doing?"

Moulton stood up and said, "Give the sick man food."

Isar's approach made the two helpers back away a bit, and they all looked at him with fear on their faces.But Isar didn't have time to pay attention to them, he just held the oil lamp to illuminate the scene in the cave.

There are three men and women who are eating in the cave. Their limbs are black and dry, and their fingers have sharp claws. They are all severely deformed.Like the mutants that Xuexian encountered in the Tower of Babel, they have completely lost their souls, and only the desire to eat is left in their bodies.

The people at the base actually kept them.

Seeing that Xuexian was too surprised to speak, Moulton explained: "You don't have to be afraid, we all know it's dangerous, they can't climb up."

Xue Xian was puzzled: "Why do you—"

Moulton said: "There is an old legend in my family that the soul does not leave the body until seven days later. These people are our friends, family, so we will send them well for the last time."

Xuexian stared blankly at the deformed body below, a female deformed body who was chewing a piece of meat suddenly raised her head, her pure black eyes met Xuexian's.

Yisar pulled Xuexian back.

Moulton asked, "Could you please sing a requiem for them then?"

This is the first time Moulton has used an honorific title for Xuexian.

Xue Xian agreed.

They walked along the aisle, going back to the room just now.

On the way, I met Daisy who was holding her younger sister.

When Daisy saw Yisaer, she didn't look too scared, and greeted Xue Xian: "Your Highness, Son, have you visited my mother?"

Xuexian felt his heart was grabbed by something.

It turned out that it was Daisy's mother.

"Doris said she's not going to get better, and we're going to say goodbye to her soon." Daisy's tone was a little calm, similar to Roger's when he talked about his parents, "but I have good news to tell You, my mother will be very pleased to know that you are here."

Xue Xian knelt down, touched Daisy's head, and really couldn't think of anything that could be called good news.

Isar lowered his golden eyes, watching the interaction between Xuexian and humans.

"Look."

Daisy moved the swaddle closer to Xuexian.

"Bella is getting better."

Xue Xian looked at the baby.

The baby slept soundly, her breathing was soft and long, and the black air that had lingered on her body was gone.

Like all newborn human babies, Bella's little face has a thin layer of healthy and lovely pink.
