nLost Atlantis 19

nThe fierce third prince thanked Xie Xi by giving him dinner.

nXie Xi’s mood was good and he had an appetite. He ate a few more crescent fruits.

nThis was a special product of the sea. It grew on a type of coral and because the coral was a crescent moon shape, people called them crescent coral.

nBig white fruits that looked like coconuts regularly fell from the crescent coral. Once broken open, the insides were really soft and tasted like bread.

nXie Xi was still a land person at heart and really liked this fruit. It was as if he was eating steamed bread.

nThe third prince glanced at him. “Do you think I’m cheap like Aix-en?”

nXie Xi froze for a while before reacting. Aix-en was the second prince, the finance minister and Gars’ brother.

nHe knew they had a bad relationship and replied, “Your Highness is very generous.”

nThe third prince pointed to the table full of dishes. “There are so many good things to eat. Don’t just chew on the crescent fruits. Are you trying to save my money?”

nXie Xi, “…” It turned out to be because of this. As far as these brain circuits were concerned, how could an average person keep up?

nThe third prince broke open a big lobster with his bare hands and placed the most delicate meat on Xie Xi’s plate.

nXie Xi hurriedly said, “I can do it myself.” The third prince glanced at his tender fingers and said, “Eat, you are as thin as a flagpole.”

nXie Xi protested, “I’m not thin.” He wasn’t fat either. He was just a normal size.

nWho would’ve expected the third prince to put down the king crab in his hand and squint at him. “You’re not thin?”

nXie Xi sat upright. He was very good. He wasn’t thin!

nThe third prince picked up a towel and wiped his hand with blank face. Xie Xi didn’t know what he was going to do. The next moment, the third prince picked up Xie Xi with one hand.

nXie Xi, “!”

nThe third prince looked at him with childish eyes. “If you aren’t thin, how can I pick you up with a finger.”

nYan Zhe laughed wildly from in front of the water fountain. “Old Jiang… hahaha, you’re a poisonous ghost!”

nWith this EQ, remain a single fish for the rest of your life! Jiang Xie also couldn’t bear to look.

nThe third prince quickly released Xie Xi, placing his hands around Xie Xi’s waist and putting him down on the chair. “Eat well and exercise. Once I can’t carry you anymore then you’re not thin.”

nXie Xi sat at the top. This was a position arranged for guests. Originally, he should be sitting below.

nHe looked at the 14% red progress bar and was too lazy to care about this little boy. “The strength of Your Highness is infinite. I can’t do anything, even if I’m the weight of hundreds of gold bars.”

nThe third prince said, “Then try to carry me.”

nXie Xi, “???” The third prince gave him a crab leg and said, “You will be qualified the day you can pick me up like this.”

nWhat damned qualification? Who wanted to pick him up?

nYan Zhe hit the table while laughing. “Poisonous, really poisonous, Old Jiang, you really rely on strength!”

n“…” Jiang Xie was upset and turned off the water curtain.

nYan Zhe’s eyes became big. “Why? I was watching that!”

nJiang Xie told him, “Time is up.”

nYan Zhe looked up and say that he wasn’t messing around. He said, “Hurry and go. I will send the fee for the bone setting.”

n***

nThe next day, Xie Xi headed towards the third prince’s palace and just saw him going out.

nXie Xi thought he was going to beat up the ‘fat’ sixth prince. Who would’ve expected him to say, “Old five has been at home for a few days. I’m going to check on him.”

nIn a way, the third prince loved his younger brothers. He might not get along with the second prince but he cared for the fifth and sixth prince. It was just that his way of caring was too unique and most people couldn’t accept it.

nXie Xi naturally knew the situation of the fifth prince and found it unbearable.

nThe third prince took him to the sixth prince’s palace. The palace that used to be filled with songs and dances was very quiet. The mermaid maid looked nervous when she saw the third prince had come.

nIt was just that the third prince’s reputation was too bad. It was highly likely the mermaid maid thought he was here to beat up the fifth prince.

nThe third prince frowned and asked, “What about Fifth Brother?”

nThe mermaid bowed and replied, “The fifth prince is locking himself inside the house. No one is allowed to approach.”

nThe third prince walked straight ahead and the maid stopped him. “Third Prince, please stay. His Highness doesn’t want to see any guests. You entering like this…”

nThe fifth prince frowned and raised an eyebrow. “Get out of the way.”

nThe mermaid used all her courage to say the above sentence. Now all her courage was gone.

nThe third prince arrived at Randall’s bedroom and directly banged on the door. “Randall?”

nThere was no sound.

nThe third prince cried out, “No one cares about your creative work. Don’t starve to death in your room!”

nSure enough… the third prince was always full of poison when he opened his mouth.

nThere was still no sound in the room. Xie Xi’s heart was beating quickly and he was uncertain what state the fifth prince would be in.

nThe third prince raised an eyebrow and was about to kick the door when it opened.

nRandall only wore a black coat and his chest was exposed to the outside. His state wasn’t bad but his eyes were cold. “Third Brother came so early in the morning. What’s wrong?” His voice was steady but it made people feel uneasy.

nThe third prince stared at him for a moment. “You, these days…”

nThe fifth prince interrupted him and asked, “What does Third Brother think I can do?”

nThe third prince raised one eyebrow.

nThe fifth prince said, “I’m fine. Third Brother, please go back.”

nThe third prince didn’t have a good temper. Once he saw this, he didn’t bother wasting any more time and nearly turned away.

nXie Xi glanced at the fifth prince, his heart filled with worry. Randall’s eyes were dark. Has he been sleeping?

nThe third prince fought Sirius in the training hall and the two men didn’t go outside all day.

nXie Xi looked at Sirius and thought about Randall. He couldn’t let it go. These two good people, their lives had changed with Sein Hall’s death.

nThis made him very uncomfortable. It might be for the task but he was actually bringing them pain.

nHe couldn’t make any progress on the side of the third prince at the moment. Xie Xi calculated the time and the next night, he sneaked into the fifth prince’s palace.

nDreaming was available to be used on the same person once every three days. It should be available now.

nXie Xi used a reserve face to become the fifth prince’s maid and slipped into his sleeping quarters.

nIt was already the middle of the night but the fifth prince wasn’t sleeping. He sat on the bed and stared at the empty space in front of them.

nXie Xi waited for three or four hours, until it became cold and the prince fell asleep on the bed.

nXie Xi looked at his pale complexion and dark circles and felt heartache.

nWhy…

nLooking at Randall, Xie Xi didn’t understand why people were so passionate about love.

nXie Xi activated Dreaming. He found himself standing in front of the fifth prince’s bed. Did it fail? Dreaming didn’t work?

nHowever, there was a hint in the lower right corner. Congratulations on the successful use of Dreaming. You have entered the dream of Randall Atlantis.

nXie Xi was stunned before understanding that the fifth prince’s dream was in his bedroom.

nThe fifth prince sat up and saw Xie Xi, but he didn’t show any surprise.

nRoast Pork Bun excitedly said, “Daddy, you seem to be a ghost!”

nXie Xi bowed his head and found that he was translucent, with a faint light emitting from his hand. It turned out that in Randall’s dream, he was a ghost!

nRandall looked at him before slowly spoke. “I am a coward.”

nXie Xi wanted to open his mouth but found that he was unable to speak in this dream!

nIt was impossible for a ghost to speak in the fifth prince’s heart?

nRandall stood up and walked to him. Xie Xi floated high in the air and could just look at Randall.

nRandall moved his fingers but didn’t touch. He seemed to know that he couldn’t touch Xie Xi.

n“Mother was right. I’m a coward, a deserter and doomed to be defeated by the storm!”

nXie Xi was very familiar with these words. He remembered that in the last dream, the queen shouted these words to the fifth prince who gave up everything. The fifth price bravely went out and pursued the life he wanted. Now…

nRandall’s eyes were red. It was said that he wanted to hug Xie Xi while knowing he couldn’t.

n“I’ve always been useless… I was born in the royal family and became a prince, but I was still delusional about my life. How can I have my own life? Where is real freedom? How could the shackles flowing through my blood let me go?”

n“I flattered myself by thinking I was brave and that I could guard everything I love. In fact, I am just escaping, escaping from sorrow, escaping from suffering and escaping from all the disappointment.”

n“I’m such a deserter and a coward. So what if met you? I can’t protect you, I can’t hug you and I can’t even show my heart to you.”

n“If I wasn’t so incompetent and had enough strength, if I had known more, I would’ve never let you die.”

nXie Xi was shocked and understood the fifth prince’s pain.

nHe felt remorseful, blamed himself and was deeply immersed in doubts. He saw the conspiracy behind the sixth prince and determined that Sein Hall was a casualty.

nHe thought he was too far away from the centre of power and didn’t know anything. He didn’t know that his beloved was discarded and sent to the guillotine.

nIf he knew these things, if he hadn’t been deaf, if he didn’t shrink back in his ivory tower, he would’ve definitely stopped Sein Hall and saved him.

nThis knot became a poisonous snake, licking at Randall’s heart.

nXie Xi couldn’t open his mouth. Even if he could speak, what could he say? A dead person couldn’t say anything to comfort a living person.

nRandall slowly raised his hand, slender fingers touching Xie Xi’s cheeks. He couldn’t touch but he could look.

n“Sein.” Randall whispered. “If there is an afterlife, will you please give me a chance to fall in love with you?”

nXie Xi was stunned.

nThis was the first time Jiang Xie wanted to slap his own soul. Stupid guy, he asked such a question so why didn’t he let Xie Xi speak?

nXie Xi’s soft heart meant he might’ve said yes.

nOnce the quasi-world was cleared, Randall’s ‘afterlife’ would be Jiang…

nGood, because of this idiot, he missed a once in 100 million chance.

nXie Xi didn’t say anything. Once he left the dream of the fifth prince, he whispered, “If I leave the quasi-world, what will happen to these souls?”

nDid Randy, Aix-en and Gars come from the first world or did they just have the same name and appearance?

nJiang Xie’s eyes slightly lit up at Xie Xi’s murmur.
