ABSOLUTE RESONANCE

Chapter 203: Caught Three Men Alive

Till night, they still didn’t get any message from the mountain.

Long said, “Qingzhou, let’s have dinner.”

Shi looked at Long and nodded.

They had dinner in silence. It seemed that they were both absent-minded.

Long put a lot of food in Shi’s bowl and Shi ate it up.

After dinner, Long said, “Shall we take a walk in the yard?”

Shi nodded and said softly, “Okay.”

Long held Shi’s hand and strolled around the courtyard. Everything seemed peaceful, but that was not the real situation.

No one said anything to break the silence of the night.

After the two of them walked for about an hour, Long finally said, “Let’s go back.”

Shi nodded his head.

There was no hot spring in the right prime minister’s mansion and people would bath in wooden barrels.

“Qingzhou…” After entering the room, Long wrapped his arms around Shi’s waist. “Let’s wash together.”

Shi looked at Long and nodded. “Okay.”

Long grinned.

The barrel was soon brought in, full of hot water.

When Shi was taking off his coat, Long stopped him.

Shi looked at Long doubtfully.

Long smiled. “How can I let you do that? Let me.”

Shi raised his eyebrows. Then, he dropped his eyes and didn’t refuse.

Long took off Shi’s clothes one piece after another.

After carrying Shi into the barrel, Long also went in…

In the barrel, Long had a wonderful time with his lover.

When he carried Shi out, Long was still reluctant to stop, but Shi felt a little sleepy.

Long put Shi on the bed and kissed his forehead gently.

“Qingzhou? Are you tired?”

Shi nodded slightly. “I’m a little tired. I’ll sleep first.”

“Okay, let’s sleep.” While speaking, Long wiped Shi’s body with a big towel. Then, he carried Shi to the bed and lay down with him…

In the middle of the night, a Shadow Guardian appeared in the room.

“Master.”

“Hmm?” Long opened his eyes sleepily. When he saw that it was a Shadow Guardian, he became fully awake.

“What’s the situation on the mountain?”

“General Qiu has set fire to the mountain.”

“Oh? Set the mountain on fire? How is it?”

“Those poisonous creatures are afraid of fire. Doctor Liu is also there. But soldiers suffered heavy casualties.”

Long frowned.

“There are not enough troops to seal the mountain pass. General Qiu asked for reinforcements,” the Shadow Guardian continued.

Long understood why the Shadow Guardian went to wake him up so late at night. He nodded and said, “Okay, here’s the seal.”

“Yes, I’ll go to arrange it immediately.”

After the Shadow Guardian left, Long looked at Shi who was lying beside him.

A Shadow Guardian went there, but his empress didn’t hear anything and was still sleeping soundly.

Was he really that tired? Long felt a little strange.

He didn’t think that Shi would be so tired.

Long felt something was wrong. He thought that Shi should have concealed something from him.

Looking at the man beside him, Long didn’t move for a long time.

Shi was sleeping soundly and he looked quite normal.

But why was he so tired?

Long was puzzled.

“Qingzhou?” Long called his name softly.

Shi did not wake up and was still sleeping as a log.

Long began to worry. He was sure that there was something wrong with his empress!

“Qingzhou!” Long increased his voice.

However, Shi still did not wake up after Long called him in such a high voice!

Long’s expression slightly changed and he began to push Shi’s body.

While pushing, he called Shi’s name.

Finally, Shi slowly opened his eyes.

“Qingzhou.” Long’s whole body bent over him.

Shi looked at Long doubtfully. “What’s the matter?”

Seeing that Shi finally woke up, Long breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried.

He rested his head on Shi’s hand and stared at Shi.

“Qingzhou, tell me the truth. What’s the matter with you? Why are you so tired?”

Shi said calmly, “You woke me up just to ask me this? I was just sleeping.”

Long slowly shook his head. “No, Shi Qingzhou, don’t lie to me. Tell me what happened to you. You can’t be so tired for no reason.”

Shi didn’t say anything.

Long took a deep breath. “Qingzhou, don’t let me guess, or I’ll go crazy. Tell me what’s wrong with you. If you don’t tell me, I will ask Liu Suifeng to check on you. I don’t believe that he doesn’t know anything!”

Shi slowly closed his eyes. “I’m using my internal strength to control my mind. Combined with some technique that I learned by chance, I can stop myself from thinking about killing. But I’m still not familiar with this method, so I’m tired.”

Long’s lips trembled. “I’m sorry…”

Shi opened his eyes. “Don’t be silly. Why do you say sorry?”

Long shook his head and asked softly, “Qingzhou, I can feel that you don’t want me to touch you too much. Does it have something to do with this?”

Shi nodded and flushed a little. “Well… when we have sex, my internal strength can’t run smoothly in my body, which would make me unable to control it. That’s why I…”

Long hugged Shi tightly. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Shi slowly looked away. “I was afraid that you’d blame yourself.”

Long’s heart ached. “Qingzhou…”

“I was afraid you’d be like this, so I didn’t tell you. I’m fine,” Shi said softly.

Long took a deep breath. “I see, but Qingzhou, is this method useful?”

Shi said calmly, “I don’t think it’s a good way.”

How could it be good… Long smiled bitterly at the bottom of his heart.

His lover had lost his vigilance and almost couldn’t be woken up at night. It was obviously not a good way.

It was all because of that poisonous insect… Long suddenly wanted to kill that woman.

This move by Eastern Darkness really restricted their action.

Therefore, Wu Xiangyuan was still staying in the branch of Tianji Sect in the imperial city. Although she had been controlled by Shadow Guardians, she was still alive.

Originally, Long didn’t want to kill this woman because of the influence of Tianji Sect, but at this moment, he changed his mind.

Long didn’t know that that woman had already been sentenced to death in Shi’s mind!

The reason why Shi hadn’t killed her was also because of Tianji Sect.

Tianji Sect…

Long said softly, “Alright, let’s sleep.”

Shi nodded. “Okay…”

In the latter half of the night, both Long and Shi slept well.

The next day, when Long woke up, Shi was still sleeping. Looking at the man lying beside him, Long felt so sorry.

Long leaned over and kissed Shi’s lips gently.

At this time, Shi opened his eyes.

Long looked at him and smiled. “You’re awake.”

Shi nodded. “Yes.”

“How do you feel? Are you tired?” Long asked immediately.

Shi smiled. “I’m fine.”

Long began to give Shi a massage and Shi didn’t move, just enjoying the service from his lover.

“How was the situation in the mountain last night?” Shi asked.

Long then told Shi about the arrival of that Shadow Guardian the previous night.

Shi nodded. “Everything should be fine now after one night.”

“I also think so.”

After they got up, Long held Shi’s hand and went out.

Then, they saw Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan coming here. The two of them should have just come back and they looked miserable.

Ouyang, in particular, should have fought a lot and his clothes were all torn.

Long and Shi went over.

“You just came back?”

“Yes, those damned monsters.” Liu looked bad. “Luckily, fire worked for them. Three people were caught. One is called Du Long and the other two are from the prince’s palace of Eastern Darkness.”

“Oh? All of them are alive?” Long’s eyes brightened.

Liu nodded. “Yes, I’ve drugged them. They can’t die even if they want to.”

Long took a deep breath. “You’ve done so much this time. Thanks a lot.”

Liu waved. “This is my hometown. How dare they play tricks here? Damn it!”

Long nodded. “The Shadow Guardians will interrogate them. You stayed up all night. Go to have a rest first.”

Liu nodded. “I’m really tired. Luckily, we got there ahead of time and those poisonous creatures hadn’t finished the last step. Otherwise, countless people in the city would be hurt!”

When he spoke of that, Liu’s voice was extremely cold…
