The manicured and rounded nails were on Lin An’s lips, he lifted up and turned Xi Ning’s hand over then kissed his fingertips.
It was as warm and soft as he imagined, the fragrance of plants and trees in Xi Ning’s hands was a little lighter, with another good smell. Lin An couldn’t tell what it was, but he knows that it was Xi Ning’s unique scent.
For an elf like Xi Ning, who has no self-protection ability, he should not have promised Ferro, and he should not have left his home to suffer these hardships.
Besides, the outside world is too dangerous, he can make Xi Ning lose consciousness with a little magic, how can his clansmen let him come out alone?
Lin An was inexplicably irritable, as if seeing a dusty pearl randomly placed in a corner, and he was a thief who broke in by accident.
At the same time, he also had a despicable pleasure, especially when secretly kissing Xi Ning’s fingertips, the secret satisfaction filled every inch of his skin.
He wanted to make this elf completely his, and after Xi Ning entered the ghost forest, he would never let him leave.
Lin An put Xi Ning’s hand away, reluctant to do anything to him, and stayed by the bedside until dawn.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lin An withdrew his spiritual energy, put away the mattress on the ground, and the system was also unblocked.
The system was cracking Lin An’s spell all night, but it was useless at all. As soon as it could contact the outside world, the system quickly checked the surrounding environment and Xi Ning’s physical data, and found that there was nothing abnormal. Xi Ning’s state was even better than that of the last few days, proving that he slept well last night.
The system was a little puzzled, why did Lin An use spells on Xi Ning?
Lin An packed his things, went outside to get warm water and breakfast. Xi Ning just woke up when everything was ready, he regained his senses and remembered that he woke up once last night, then finally fell asleep while hugging Lin An.
After that, he never woke up again and slept until now. His spirits were better than before. It was a wise choice for him to let Lin An come in to sleep with him.
But Xi Ning doesn’t remember whether he let go of Lin An last night. Judging from Lin An’s current character, he shouldn’t hold him all night, right?
When Xi Ning finished cleaning himself and was eating breakfast, the system said in a serious tone, “Master, I want to tell you something.”
The system rarely speaks to him like this, Xi Ning slows down, “What’s the matter?”
The system still didn’t tell him that Lin An was strangling Xi Ning’s neck that day, it only told Xi Ning that Lin An used spells on him last night, and even the system itself was blocked. Lin An must not be as simple as it seems.
After Xi Ning listened silently, he didn’t feel surprised.
In the worlds he had experienced before, except for Song Zhou in the first world, Xi Ning did not
know his family very well because they left too hastily. Later Situ Zhao, Xu Si, and Louis, even as supporting roles, the identity he has is not bad.
Thinking of this, Xi Ning quickly accepted that Lin An had another identity, but he didn’t know what purpose he had hiding in the mercenary group.
In addition, the system said that Lin An used spells on him, and even the system didn’t know what happened last night. Xi Ning felt that this method was very familiar.
Back then, Situ Zhao concealed his true identity and sneaked into his bedroom at night, but was discovered by the system at that time.
In short, Xi Ning is not at all worried about what Lin An will do to him, and there is no mission reminder in this world, he can only let nature take its course. Instead, Xi Ning feels more free. Without the final mission goal, he will be with Lin An together.
He shared his guesses and thoughts with the system. The system actually felt that Lin An would not hurt Xi Ning, but the completion of this world was different from the previous one. The system could still be blocked by spells, so it was inevitable that it would be worried.
The breakfast prepared on the road was relatively simple. After Xi Ning had breakfast in the carriage, Lin An came in to clean up the table, and Xi Ning quietly looked at his masked face.
The last moment he slept last night, he was holding Lin An, and it is very likely that Lin An used the spell on him at that time.
Why did he do that? and what did Lin An do to him? Xi Ning’s ears slowly got red, but he felt that Lin An was still alienated from him now, not like the previous worlds.
It doesn’t seem appropriate to ask directly. Lin An saw the tangled expression on Xi Ning’s face, and he said, “Do you want some tea, Your Highness? I’ll prepare it for you.”
Xi Ning nodded and said, “Okay.”
Seeing that his attitude towards him had not changed, Lin An carefully recalled the situation last night, and made sure that Xi Ning would not find out what he did, so he went to make tea with confidence.
Since he wasn’t worried about Lin An’s intentions, Xi Ning certainly wanted to keep him in the carriage. In the next few days, Xi Ning found that he would no longer wake up at night because of the bumpy roads, and slept until dawn.
Xi Ning faintly felt that Lin An might have used spells on him to make him sleep better, so that he would not feel exhausted all day long.
