ABSOLUTE RESONANCE

437. The Feeling of Being Watched (II)

Shi Qingzhou said slowly, “I feel that something is wrong. Except the assassination we encountered after we had just set off, the journey has been uneventful. Something must be wrong.”

“It’s not uneventful. Among the several thousands of our soldiers, a few was replaced.”

Shi Qingzhou frowned. “It doesn’t count. I am talking about serious assassinations.”

Long Xiaoyuan laughed heartily. “Qingzhou, your thoughts are quite strange. You’re not happy that no one tries to assassinate us.”

Shi Qingzhou glared at Long Xiaoyuan.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

Long Xiaoyuan felt aggrieved. “Qingzhou, how can this be nonsense?”

Shi Qingzhou said lightly, “I think you are too calm. You don’t seem to have any plan.”

Long Xiaoyuan said, “That’s not right, Qingzhou. Actually, I think there’s nothing wrong being relaxed before things come up. Anyway, there are so many people protecting us. What are we afraid of? The enemies should be afraid of us, right?”

Shi Qingzhou paused and then slowly said. “You’re right.”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Yeah, am I right? That’s not nonsense.”

Shi Qingzhou smiled.

Long Xiaoyuan pulled him into his arms. “Qingzhou, we haven’t done it for a few days. How about tonight…”

Shi Qingzhou paused and didn’t refuse in the end.

Sensing that Shi Qingzhou accommodated silently, Long Xiaoyuan got fiercer and became more possessive.

Shi Qingzhou closed his eyes.

Long Xiaoyuan kissed his eyes.

Shi Qingzhou abruptly opened his eyes and asked, “Long Xiaoyuan, are my eyes more beautiful than before?”

Long Xiaoyuan paused, asking, “What?”

The corners of Shi Qingzhou’s mouth curved up. “My eyes. When are they prettier, the past or now?”

Long Xiaoyuan understood and immediately laughed. “Qingzhou, you look good in either way. I like them both.”

Shi Qingzhou pouted as if he didn’t believe it.

Long Xiaoyuan had never expected Qingzhou to care about such a problem. He grinned with amusement in his eyes.

“Qingzhou, believe me. You are the most beautiful person even if your hair turns red, let alone your eyes.” Shi Qingzhou simply shut up and closes his eyes.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled and kissed his eyes. He gently planted a kiss and told him.

“Qingzhou, I love you.”

Shi Qingzhou stiffened and then softened a moment later. He opened his eyes, which were full of tenderness.

Long Xiaoyuan felt more excited at his tender eyes, and he couldn’t help kissing his lips.

“Qingzhou, Qingzhou.”

Murmuring the name of his beloved, Long Xiaoyuan gently touched Shi Qingzhou’s cheek. The color of the night deepened.

So did their tenderness.

At the same night, Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan were wrapped in their desire.

“Ouyang, Ouyang…” Liu Suifeng mumbled the name and rushed to the peak.

When they stopped, both of them were tired.

Liu Suifeng carried Ouyang Chuan to wash up.

Ouyang Chuan was about to fall asleep, and Liu Suifeng served him.

After Liu Suifeng cleaned up, he hugged Ouyang Chuan and closed his eyes on the bed.

After a long time, Ouyang Chuan abruptly opened his eyes in his sleep.

He seemed to be different from his usual self.

At this moment, there was confusion in Ouyang Chuan’s eyes, which were blank.

Ouyang Chuan opened his eyes and sat up after a long while.

Liu Suifeng beside him was familiar with Ouyang Chuan’s movements and didn’t feel anything.

Ouyang Chuan didn’t look at Liu Suifeng, getting out of bed with lightness techniques.

Ouyang Chuan’s martial arts were also very high, so Liu Suifeng did not know that he got out of bed.

Ouyang Chuan with confused eyes didn’t seem to know where to go. After a while, he seemed to hear something, and he slowly walked to the door.

At this moment, Liu Suifeng turned over on the bed. He quickly felt it when his hands didn’t touch Ouyang Chuan.

Liu Suifeng abruptly woke up from the deep sleep. He opened his eyes and didn’t see Ouyang beside him. He quickly looked at the door, taken aback. “Ouyang?”

“It’s so late. Where are you going?”

Liu Suifeng’s voice was soft, but it sounded loud in this quiet night, so Ouyang Chuan with confused eyes instantly came back to his senses.

“Ouyang?” Liu Suifeng called again as he received no response.

Ouyang Chuan frowned, “What am I doing?”

Liu Suifeng was startled, instantly wide awake. He vaguely realized something was wrong and jumped out of bed, rushing to Ouyang Chuan.

“Ouyang, what’s wrong?”

Ouyang Chuan took a deep breath and slowly shook his head. “I don’t know. I seemed to have had a dream just now, so I instinctively walked outside.”

Liu Suifeng was shocked, but he didn’t show it. Instead, he smiled. “Oh, I see. It’s fine. It’s normal. Ouyang, you scared me.”

Liu Suifeng’s indifference relieved Ouyang Chuan, who said in bewilderment, “I don’t know what has happened.”

Liu Suifeng laughed and picked up Ouyang Chuan. “That’s because I didn’t hug you when we slept. You’ll be fine when I hold you to sleep.”

As he spoke, Liu Suifeng carried Ouyang Chuan onto the bed and held his waist tightly.

Liu Suifeng said after he wrapped Ouyang Chuan in his arms. “Ouyang, you can sleep well in this way.”

Ouyang Chuan smiled without any objections.

He slept well for the rest of the night, but Liu Suifeng couldn’t sleep anymore.

After dawn, Liu Suifeng woke up and immediately went to see Long Xiaoyuan.

At that time, Shi Qingzhou was still asleep.

Liu Suifeng knew about Long Xiaoyuan’s good intention of hiding the problem of Ouyang Chuan from Shi Qingzhou, so he didn’t rush in recklessly, waiting outside patiently.

A moment later, Long Xiaoyuan got up when Shi Qingzhou was still asleep.

The Shadow Guardian had informed him that Liu Suifeng was waiting to see him, so Long Xiaoyuan winked at Liu Suifeng, beckoning him to talk somewhere else.

Liu Suifeng understood immediately and followed Long Xiaoyuan.

Long Xiaoyuan entered another room in the inn.

Liu Suifeng followed him inside and said worriedly, “Long Xiaoyuan, Ouyang might have been enchanted.”

Long Xiaoyuan paused for a moment and said slowly, “Actually, I thought of that, but I was not sure. I don’t know how serious the problem with Ouyang is, nor do I know what order that man gave him back then.”

Liu Suifeng pursed his lips. “I don’t know, nor do I even know what method that man used on Ouyang. I examined him carefully, and there is no venomous insect in his body.”

Long Xiaoyuan paused and said slowly. “I think I might know the answer to that.”

“What?” Liu Suifeng was shocked and immediately asked, “You know? How do you know? What method is it?”

Liu Suifeng was anxious. Long Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly. “I guessed it, but I don’t know how to break it. I guess… he used hypnosis and hints.”

“Hypnosis? What is it?” Liu Suifeng had never heard of this before, and he did not know what kind of illness it was. “I’ve never heard of it.”

Long Xiaoyuan thought for a while and used a word that people in this world could understand. “Soul-controlling Method. I suspect that he has been hit by Soul-controlling Method, which had been lost for a long time. In addition, Lord gave Ouyang Chuan hints, asking him to do things at the appropriate time. However, to break the hypnosis, well, the Soul-controlling Method, we have to know the instruction that Lord gave and what he wants Ouyang to do. Only when we know the instruction and the hint can we break the hypnosis and help Ouyang escape from the control.”

Liu Suifeng turned gloomy. “How can we know the order that Lord gave Ouyang?”

“Actually, it’s not difficult.” Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Lord has given the order to Ouyang, who will do it sooner or later. After Ouyang finishes his mission, he’ll be fine.”

Liu Suifeng was shocked. “Impossible. After Ouyang finishes his mission, it will be too late.”

Long Xiaoyuan shrugged indifferently. “This is the safest therapy. Otherwise, it will be dangerous.”

Liu Suifeng took a deep breath, “Even it’s dangerous, we have to try it. I can’t let Ouyang commit a crime.”

“Don’t think too much.” Long Xiaoyuan smiled and patted Liu Suifeng on the shoulder. “We will cross the bridge when we come to it.”

Liu Suifeng felt impatient. “How can you be so calm? Ouyang might be ordered to kill you.”

“So what?” Long Xiaoyuan looked at Liu Suifeng sadly. “We could do nothing about it in that case. Liu Suifeng, I’m not joking with you. Is Ouyang’s life less important than mine? I think we are equal. Liu Suifeng, you both are my friends. You are afraid that something will happen to me, and I feel the same for you. Listen to me. Don’t do anything. Just pretend that we know nothing about it, and pay more attention to Ouyang. As the saying goes, wealth is sought in danger. I don’t have to die if Ouyang comes to kill me. As long as we make a good arrangement, I might survive and Ouyang could escape from Lord’s control. Isn’t this great?”

Liu Suifeng couldn’t help smiling bitterly. “It’s optimistic of you. I don’t know what to say.”

Although he said so, Liu Suifeng was touched.

Long Xiaoyuan really cared about them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to risk his safety.

Because of this, he couldn’t let anything happen to Long Xiaoyuan.

Otherwise, neither he nor Ouyang would forgive themselves.

Liu Suifeng took a deep breath and said slowly, “Okay, I will do nothing for the time being, but Long Xiaoyuan, you have to promise me that you will take good care of yourself. If you find anything wrong with Ouyang, you must tell me. In addition, you have to get more Shadow Guardians to protect you.”

“Okay. I definitely know what to do.” Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “Don’t worry. I won’t risk my own life. I want to spend a long time with Qingzhou.”

“Great.” Liu Suifeng rolled his eyes. “I’m leaving. Ouyang doesn’t know that I come out to see you. I’ll be off.”

“Okay. Go ahead. Qingzhou should wake up now. I don’t want him to have the wrong idea that I have an affair with you. Otherwise, I’ll be doomed.”

Liu Suifeng’s mouth twitched in irritation. “Don’t worry. Shi Qingzhou has more sense than you. He would not misunderstand.”

Long Xiaoyuan was disgruntled. “How can you say that? I’m the Emperor, handsome and charming. Men and women love me, and of course, Qingzhou would misunderstand!”

Liu Suifeng got more frustrated. “I’ve never seen anyone who likes to praise himself more than you.”

He left with distain on his face.

He had a contemptuous look on his face, but he felt relieved.

Long Xiaoyuan leisurely went out of the room after Liu Suifeng left.

When he returned to the room, Shi Qingzhou had just woken up and was lazily getting up from the bed.

“Why did you get up so early? Where did you go?”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “I went to arrange breakfast for you. We can have breakfast soon. There will be food that you like.”

Shi Qingzhou was satisfied. “Good.”

Long Xiaoyuan flatteringly moved closer to him. “Qingzhou, let me help you put on the clothes. It’s a tiresome task for you. Let me do it for you..”

Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan in amusement. “You like to serve me a lot.”

“Of course.” Long Xiaoyuan smiled. “You are the only person I want to serve.”

Shi Qingzhou smiled and didn’t say anything.

They had an intimate time. After Long Xiaoyuan helped Shi Qingzhou put on his clothes, they went out together, hand in hand.

The Shadow Guardians had prepared the breakfast long ago, and it was indeed Shi Qingzhou’s favorite food.

In fact, Long Xiaoyuan had ordered the breakfast last night. He didn’t do that just now.
