Lian Yuexia had been asleep running a fever and sleep talking throughout the entire time of the events. It was after those weeks did the fever break and Qinglong could stop leaking demonic qi. Most of the room was filled with the black mist of qi only for it to be absorbed into Lian Yuexia letting him relax. Whatever struggle he was having was now relived, unknown to him, yet very know to Qinglong.

Now Qinglong sat there and stared at the soft and delicate face he knew. There was a faint smile and his eyes relaxed into a green jade, they were calm and he was no longer angry. Reaching out Qinglong gently caressed Lian Yuexia’s cheeks that were thin but soft giving him reason to stare more.

“you still look the same no matter how many times you are reincarnated. This time it was Xue Hujun’s mother that took you in. Finally we are together again. This time I will protect you. I wont let it do it again. I will not let you go.” Qinglong’s eyes fixated on the on sleeping. Feeling a sense of being safe Qinglong’s eyes were starting to droop, as he had been awake releasing his internal energy consciously. Soon he laid next to Lian Yuexia falling into a deep sleep holding his hand. It was another day that they slept.

By this time, it had been a month since Lian Yuexia had fallen into an endless coma, at least half of that was Qinglong caring for him. With the sun was at the highest peak did Lian Yuexia wake in panic as he had just dreamed of bloody battles and killed several times over.

Grasping his chest Lian Yuexia was panting as if he was running. Even if it was noon the sun peeking through cracks in the shed and hitting Lian Yuexia’s alabaster skin, warming him slightly. However, he could not see the area around him it was dark as if it was night or even the dark room, he was stuck in. The pants were starting to become heavy as he went to touch his eyes, yet a rough large hand was around his, causing him to turn towards the sleeping Qinglong.

Knowing that he was not alone Lian Yuexia had calmed slightly but was a little curious as the person was holding his hand. Qinglong was sleeping soundly and had a firm grip on Lian Yuexia’s hand, forcing him to start feeling about the area. Being blind Lian Yuexia could not tell where he was feeling, however the sleeping dragon has now woken up able to stare at the grey murky eyes, his nice jawline and plump pink lips. Lian Yuexia’s fair skin only made him look like a fairy or even a god that jumped down from the heavens. Qinglong was staring at with a smirk before he looked down to see the slender hands that were once covered in calluses and scratches now look perfect touching his stomach. Lian Yuexia’s hands were searching for the one sleeping but there was no progress as he was just touching the ground.

The ground started to move as It scrunched up, forcing the hand to travel up to a neck and face. “How long are you going to grope me Yue?” A deep voice rang softly next to Lian Wujiai’s year causing him to shiver. His face was stolid but one’s ears did not lie one bit, as they were now bright red from being embarrassment. Quickly The hand was pulled away but the one in Qinglong’s grasp was pulled up forcing the hand onto his own face. Qinglong rubbed his nose lightly on Lian Yuexia’s palm almost telling him to keep going. “Its not that I mind its been a few centuries since I’ve felt the touch of another anyways. I would never turn you away anyways.” Qinglong looked at the other to see his reaction, but there was only red ears. Not a cough, nor him looking away the Lian Yuexia he knew would always do something in response to his handsome looks and flirty responses. Yet the person did nothing of the sort instead he stared past him as if he were looking at the moon not a single light in his sharp beautiful eyes.

“Master Qinglong could you please let go of my hand. It is quite uncomfortable for someone I barely know to touch me.” Lian Yuexia spoke very properly and turned his head ack to a more comfterable position. Now it seemed like he was staring at the door.

“Ah You must need to go. Go on I wont stop you. Just come back alright.” Qinglong released Lian Yuexia’s hand in a bit of frustration and got up from where he sat. Lian Yuexia turned his head slightly then started to use both hands to feel the ground to get up. Carefully not to fall, but he had been sleeping for a month making his legs weak and back down he went.

“Excuse me Master Qinglong how did we escape? Can you also tell me where we are?” He asked calmly and quietly as if he was afraid to be yelled at. Qinglong chuckled while helping Lian Yuexia up and getting him to a better seat.

“You calling me Master Qinglong is weird. Just call me by my name Zhan Xinyi or if you want to be polite Zhan Wujin-tuzai” a cold and bitter voice came out as he watched the other, allowing him to notice that Lian Yuexia wasn’t reacting to his movement. Waving his hand in front of those grey eyes and seeing no reaction to it, immediately made him take Lian Yuexia’s pulse.

“What are you doing?” Lian Yuexia jolted from the sudden touch.

“Seeing why your sight is gone.” Zhan Xinyi closed his eyes for a moment to use his own internal energy to search through the others meridians making sure that they were not broken or blocked at all. Lian Yuexia felt an icy-cold darkness flowed into him for a moment before it became warm and comforting. A sigh of relief was released as the warmth retracted and Zhan Wujin-tuzai released his wrist. “Its only temporary. For a few days at most a couple of weeks but you will have to use something or me as a way of getting around.” It was high noon. Lian Yuexia was quiet for a moment before he took a breath.

“What happened?” Lian Yuexia closed his eyes to try to remember anything that happened that day.

“Don’t worry I didn’t kill anyone. As much as I wanted to I didn’t since he hurt you. But you were sick, so I had to help you first before any slaughter and I can’t help you when we were surrounded by others. But since then from what I heard the Sect leader wont come out from his room and that child of his is sick from some corruption….. Shit” he slapped his mouth for being big. Its been a few centuries since he was able to talk to someone on, now he could talk the ear off of anyone who comes close. He watched Lian Yuexia once the other processed the information panic set in.

“What Qing Dabai is sick. I need to do something… Young Master Qing is the only one who tried to be my friend. But Sect Leader didn’t allow him around me. I need to go help him.” Lian Yuexia used the wall and got up, trying to feel the wall for the door. Zhan Xinyi got up and helped him out of the shed breaking the ward that hid them. Together they went to the village that was at the bottom of the mountain to get some food.

The sight of the two left the people in the village speechless as one with pale skin white hair and grey eyes was being walked by a rugged man who has dirty black hair long black nails and chains danged from both their wrists. Yet the Rugged man’s Jade eyes showed that he was a beast at heart and if anyone dared to harm the one who looked like a god then it would be hell on them. The villagers did not dare to go near them but when Zhan Xinyi sat Lian Yuexia down did they try to talk to them.

“Sir are you okay have you been captured by this man?” A woman asked and gently patted his back to get his attention. Lian Yuexia filched at it and quickly turned his head. The woman took her hand away and watched. “Madam this one here is someone who was being wrongfully captured against his will. i just saved him and he helps me since I cannot see. There is no need to worry do you perhaps know where a food stall is?” Lian Yuexia asked gently as not to scare if anyone else was around.

“Oh such a nice boy. Hold on.” The woman ran off for a minute then came back with some steamed buns giving them to the two. “here you go young man. Take care of this boy here he is so sweet. Nothing like that evil that was set free into the world. And not only that did you hear that his evil lover was reincarnated as well. Soon the world as we know it will be overturned with those evil beasts and demons. Such a shame that boy back then what was his name….” She pondered as Lian Yuexia had taken the food out of appreciation.

“His name is Lian Yuexia.” Zhan Xinyi glared at the women and growled, but Lian Yuexia waved his hand to calm him down. She was scared away from them.

“being aggressive cant fix anything. You should know this since you were sealed away for a few centuries.” Lian Yuexia took another bite of the bun.

“That day wasn’t my fault they killed….. you don’t have a lot of emotions do you Yue?” Zhan Xinyi held on to the steam bun while he watched the other eat.

“Not really i havent allowed myself any. I don’t need them to be useful to the ones I care about. Master Qinglong wouldn’t you agree.” Both were silent since neither could say anything more. Though Zhan Xinyi became grumpy and put the steam bum away in the wrapping that it came with. He would hold on to it until Lian Yuexia need to eat again. After eating Lian Yuexia patted Qinglong’s arm gently.

“Master Zhan can we please go to Qing Dabai. I would like to see if I can help.” Lian Yuexia was timid as he asked, thinking since now he was with Qinglong that he would be controlled more as Qinglong was on the run. Zhan Xinyi studied the look on Lian Yuexia’s face, which was that of worry, concern, and a bit of hope.

“No we cannot…” Qinglong watched as disappointment replaced hope, “But after your eyes are better we can. I can help your recovery and it will be done within the week. he can make it till then i went to check while you were asleep.” A soft smile grew on Lian Yuexia as he ate the last of the steam bun, some of the filling on his face.

“Even back then you were a messy eater Yue.” Zhan Xinyi got up from the ground and sat on the bench. Lian Yuexia turned to the sudden movement as a thump brushed against the bottom of his lips removing the food that was left there. Then there came a slight sucking sound as Zhan Xinyi at it making Lian Yuexia blush and wipe his own mouth. “Just tell me next time you don’t have to do that. What are you even thinking Master Long.” Even though Lian Yuexia was temporarily blind he could still in vision the whole scene without having to see it.

“Your face is like stone without a smile or even a frown when it should. Even have to cover your beautiful eyes with a cloth. Come on lets get to a inn.” Zhan Xinyi chuckled and stood up to help Lian Yuexia up. With Qinglong directing Lian Yuexia they made it to the inn that would be their home for now.

The beggars around the village watched the two since they were complete opposites of each other, from what they could see one was pure and the others was blacken to the core. It seemed like the pure one couldn’t sense the demonic energy, but since everyone was looking for the Lian Yuexia and Qinglong that escaped the hundred or so powerful cultivators. Since there matched the description of two they were reported back to the head of the Beggar Sect that the boy had been found and is at an inn at the base of Xuexing peak.

Lian Yuexia was helped up the stairs and into their room.

“Stay here for a moment Yue.” Qinglong left the room and went back out into the street as he noticed the stare from the beggars on the side of the road. Staring at them they quickly went whispering to themselves, allowing Qinglong to set up a ward that would let him know if anyone with harmful intentions was there.

Now that he has done that, he returned to room where he found Lian Yuexia by the window. His grey eyes had stared out of the window even though he couldn’t see the view. The sunlight didn’t bother him, blinking every so often Lian Yuexia made it seem like he was in a whole other world. Qinglong stared at him without making a sound.

‘Now only if you turned and smiled at me it would be like back then.’ He thought to himself he studied the scene and etched it into his mind.

“Master Long if you’re going to stare at me any longer, I would think I was in a cage instead of a room. Would you please sit down in front of me.” A forced smile was on Lian Yuexia’s face, but there was stool in front of him. Zhan Xinyi was quiet for a moment and then did as Lian Yuexia asked, sitting on the stool. Raising his hands and feeling the clothed back of Qinglong did he start gathering all the thick black hair. His wrist was caught by a rough firm hand that stopped him from doing anymore.

“What are you doing?” was growled out, a sigh was let out in response to the growl.

“Master Long I may be blind now, but I learned how to do hair while my eyes were covered. Im just fixing your hair so it isn’t as messy.” The grip loosened and Lian Yuexia lightly combed through the hair with his fingers first to see if there were any knots in his hair. Lian Yuexia patted himself for the comb he carried usually but it wasn’t there.

“Here you might need the comb then.” The comb was put into his hand by Qinglong.

“Why do you have my comb? Lian Yuexia asked with confusion written all over his face. A cough came from Qinglong before he responded as the comb started to go through the black hair.

“I found it when I changed your clothes from ripped ones to clean ones. And the painting is safe I have ahold of it until you can see again.” Lian Yuexia nodded as he listened to Qinglong sliding the comb gently through the hair that became smooth from the combing. Then Hand that was combing froze for a moment.

Lian Yuexia: “You changed my clothes while I was asleep?”

Qinglong: “Mn”

Lian Yuexia: “You took care of me while I was sick?”

Qinglong: “Mn”

Lian Yuexia: “you see me as your lover, don’t you?”

Qinglong: “you are him.” Qinglong stood up and towered over Lian Yuexia a smile brightens the sullen look on his face.

“I will always recognize you because Your love is needed. But thank you for combing my hair out. Go back to sleep.” Lian Yuexia didn’t even get a chance to respond before Qinglong knocked him out. Going limp Qinglong held on to Lian Yuexia so he wouldn’t fall to the floor. Picking him up Qinglong placed Lian Yuexia on the bed.

“Even your sister-in-law knew who you were. I know where you came from and i will get you to remember just need you to see.” Qinglong took a deep breath in as he started to form a ball of qi condensing it down into a small pearl that gave off a demonic energy.
