nLong was stunned. “How could this happen?”

n

n“I don’t know.”

nLong frowned. Shi’s eyes turned red? He didn’t think it was a big problem and wanted to see how Shi looked like at the moment.

n

n

nLong thought that his empress was good-looking and perhaps the special red eyes would make him more attractive.

nLong didn’t care about that, but he was afraid that Shi didn’t think so.

nAfter all, all the people in this nation had black eyes. So did the barbarians in the north. Some of them had brown eyes at most.

nShi definitely wouldn’t like his red eyes.

n

n

nThinking of that, Long decided to go to ask Liu first.

nWhen he got to Liu’s place, he found Liu and Ouyang were having lunch.

nSeeing that they were eating, Long felt hungry, too.

n“Get me a bowl of rice,” Long said.

n

n

nA Shadow Guardian did his bidding at once.

nLong sat down at the table. “Are you okay?”

nLiu looked at Long and put down the chopsticks. “You came to ask about Shi Qingzhou, right?”

n“Yes.” Long also looked at Liu. “What’s the matter with Qingzhou? Why did his eyes become red?”

n“It’s because of the poisonous insect,” Liu said seriously, “The worst has happened.”

nLong was stunned. “What do you mean?”

n

n

n“That poisonous insect can affect people’s character and make them become murderous. I thought it would be okay after we took it out, but now I found it already affected Shi Qingzhou.”

nLong looked very serious. “What are the consequences?”

n“The color of the pupils represents the will of killing. I’ve seen Shi Qingzhou’s eyes. They’re just light red. If it can be controlled and his eyes don’t become dark red, it won’t have a great impact on him. But if it can’t be controlled… he will become a maniac killer sooner or later.”

n“How to control it?” Long asked immediately.

nLiu shook his head. “I can’t answer this question. It’s all up to Shi Qingzhou.”

nShi could control it by himself?

nLong knitted his brows.

nOuyang said coldly, “If he kills less people, it’ll be better.”

n

n

nAfter a pause, Long said, “So it’s best to ask Qingzhou to go back?”

n“Yes, but the plan has been carried out for a long time. It’s difficult to ask him to give up now,” Liu said.

nLong lowered his head and began to ponder. He knew that it was really difficult.

n“Alright. Let’s eat first,” Long finally said.

nThere would always be a way out. Anyway, the current situation was satisfactory.

nLong began to eat. Ouyang and Liu looked at each other and said nothing.

nThey thought that it would be okay as long as Long knew that.

nAfter lunch, Long left directly.

nLiu looked at Ouyang and said softly, “How do you feel? Does it hurt anywhere?”

nOuyang said coldly, “I’m fine.”

nThen, he got up and went straight away.

nLiu curled his lips and smiled bitterly. He found that Ouyang had become like before again.

nHe pursed his lips and stood up helplessly…

n

n

nLong naturally went to find Shi. With the help of the Shadow Guardians, Long went to the eastern suburb of the city.

nThere was a lake which not many people would frequent.

nShi should’ve gone there to seek some private space.

nLong went straight there. From afar, he saw a familiar figure in the pavilion in the center of the lake.

nLooking at the man sitting forlorn against the stone pillar, Long felt worried.

n“Qingzhou…” Long called Shi’s name softly. “Take me there.”

nThe Shadow Guardians did his bidding and directly took him to the center of the lake with martial arts.

nHearing the sound, Shi immediately opened his eyes and looked over.

nWhen he saw that it was Long, Shi was slightly stunned.

nAt that time, Long had already landed in the pavilion.

nThe Shadow Guardians jumped to the top of the pavilion and hid themselves away.

nLong and Shi looked at each other and the color of Shi’s pupils was indeed light red.

nLong thought that Shi’s eyes were very beautiful.

nLong went to Shi step by step. “Qingzhou.”

nLong fixed his eyes on Shi, which made Shi slowly drop his eyes and stop looking at him.

nLong was standing in front of Shi.

n“Qingzhou, don’t you want to look at me?”

nShi didn’t talk, but turned around.

nSeeing this, Long wrapped his arms around Shi’s waist from behind.

nShi’s body suddenly became stiff. Then, he began to relax slowly.

nLong sighed inwardly. “Qingzhou, the color of your eyes is very beautiful.”

nHearing those words, Long suddenly turned around. “What did you say?”

nLong blinked, looking very serious and sincere.

n“I said that the color of your eyes is very beautiful. I mean it.”

nShi pressed his lips together. “You’re nuts. This color is disgusting.”

n“Why do you think so?” Long was a little surprised. “Qingzhou… Don’t you believe what I said? When Ying Qiu told me that the color of your eyes changed, I was very curious. Of course, I guess that you may not like this color, but I don’t allow you to say it’s disgusting. Qingzhou, I like this color, do you understand?”

nLong said that firmly. Shi’s soft heart was touched by Long’s sincerity.

nShi’s lips trembled and the dark red turned into light red in a moment.

nLong suddenly held Shi into his arms and kissed Shi’s bloodless lips.

nFrom little pecks to deep kiss, Long kissed the man in his arms passionately until his lover’s body went limp.

nLong kept holding Shi in his arms.

n“Qingzhou, your eyes are really beautiful.” After saying that, Long gently kissed Shi’s eyes.

nShi did not close his eyes, but watched as Long kissed them.

nLong’s sincerity and tenderness completely warmed that cold spot in Shi’s heart.

nLong kissed Shi’s eyes for a long time. At this time, the redness in Shi’s eyes had become very light and outsiders wouldn’t notice it if they didn’t look at him carefully.

nBut Shi’s ears had turned completely red, which was intoxicating.

nLong kissed Shi’s forehead. “I bet you haven’t had lunch. Let’s go back.”

nShi finally nodded and responded softly, “Mhmm.”

nNaturally, Long didn’t need Shadow Guardians to take him back, because Shi was with him!

nShi took Long and flew to the shore. At this time, several killers went to attack them at full speed.

nShi and Long didn’t come out alone, so when those killers appeared, the Shadow Guardians immediately noticed that and went to fight against them.

nColdness filled Shi’s eyes. Long was afraid that Shi would go to kill them, which wouldn’t be good for his health, so he reached out and held Shi’s arm. He didn’t want Shi to fight.

n“Qingzhou, Liu Suifeng should have told you about your condition. The Shadow Guardians can protect us. Nothing will happen. You must control your mind and don’t think about killing. Please do it for my sake, okay?”

nShi paused. He turned to look at Long and nodded slowly. “Okay.”

nThe corners of Long’s mouth turned upward. “Good.”

nSo, the two of them just stood by and watched them fight.

nShi slowly dropped his eyes and restrained himself from killing. After a while, the fight stopped.
