Chapter 293: Just a Minor Injury (III)Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Shi sighed. “It’s just an accident. There are many beasts in the forest. At first, Liu Suifeng and I were not afraid of anything, but we were besieged by a group of beasts later and I was accidentally scratched by branches when we escaped.”

Long was slightly stunned. “Why are there so many beasts in the mountains? It’s a bit strange.”

“I also find it a little strange. The three of us stayed there and checked for a long time, but didn’t find anything. There may be something in the forest that attracts beasts. Those animals may have come from other places. You also know that there are many trees deep in the mountains and some beasts may have gone there.”

The frown on Long’s face became deeper. “If you didn’t go there today, we would never know that there are so many beasts in the woods over there. There were not so many animals in that area in the past.”

“Right.” Shi nodded. “It’s hard to say whether there is anything fishy, but I have left three Shadow Guardians there to continue investigating.”

“Why did you go there?” Long asked.

Shi said, “Because of some herbs… Are you sure you’ll continue asking? I’m starving and I want to take a shower first. I’m so dirty.”

Hearing that, Long glared at Shi. “You also know that you’re dirty? How dare you come back like this? You deserve it! Who asked you to go there?”

Shi knew that Long was angry, so he touched his nose and said, “Alright, I didn’t expect it, either.”

He didn’t know that he would be attacked by beasts in the mountains…

Seeing that Shi looked so miserable, Long stopped saying anything and went to the hot spring with him.

“You’ll also wash at this hour?” Shi raised his eyebrows and asked.

Long said coldly, “What’s wrong? Do you think there is any problem?”

Shi blinked and said immediately, “No, of course it’s okay!”

Long snorted and took off his own clothes.

Although he was very dissatisfied, Long was very gentle and careful when he bathed Shi.

He avoided Shi’s injured arm… and carefully washed other places.

Affection showed in Shi’s eyes. He felt that Long… looked extraordinarily attractive when doing that, which deeply touched him.

However, in Long’s eyes, Shi was very charming at this moment. If he wasn’t injured, Long would have already jumped to him instead of restraining himself…

After Shi’s body was finally washed clean, Long was already in a sweat. He felt Shi was too attractive, so he needed to try his best to control his desires.

After stepping out of the bathing pool, Long put on his own clothes first and then dressed Shi before applying the medicine to the wound.

It actually would hurt a lot when the top-quality medicine was sprinkled on the wound, but Shi didn’t seem to feel any pain at all. It could be seen that Shi could endure much more pain than Long.

In the end, Long couldn’t help but ask, “Doesn’t it hurt?”

Shi smiled upon hearing that. “No, it doesn’t. It’s just a minor injury.”

Long’s face darkened. “Right, you’re something else. You wouldn’t feel pain even if it hurts a lot.”

Shi blinked. “Don’t think too much. I didn’t say you are afraid of pain.”

Those words angered Long more. “Shi Qingzhou!”

Shi said innocently at once, “Well, I’m hungry.”

“I’ll be happy if you starve to death!” Long said angrily.

Shi raised his eyebrows. “Will you really be happy?”

Long sneered. “Of course I’ll be happy! Anyway, you are not afraid of pain!”

The corners of Shi’s lips twitched. He felt that Long… was really like a mentally retarded man at this moment!

Of course, that couldn’t be said.

Therefore, when Long walked towards the restaurant, Shi hurriedly followed him.

“Long Xiaoyuan, listen, I’m afraid of pain, not you, okay?”

Long suddenly stopped and Shi almost bumped into him! “What did you say?”

Shi touched his nose, wondering what he said wrong.

Long said in anger, “Do you think I will be happy if you say this?”

“Why are you unhappy?” Shi pretended to be puzzled. Of course he knew that he… had hurt Long’s pride, but it really was no big deal!

Long sneered. “Forget it. I’m broadminded. I won’t argue with you about this. You’re hungry, aren’t you? Hurry up and go to eat something. If you really starve to death, you’ll become a laughing stock.”

Shi couldn’t help but smile. “Yes. I’m coming.”

Shi had been out for a whole day and didn’t eat well, so he was really hungry.

Long felt a little sorry when he saw Shi gorging himself. “Eat slowly.”

Shi looked at him and shook his head. “It’s okay.”

Long quickly ladled out some soup for him. “Drink some soup.”

Shi nodded. “Okay.”

Shi ate a lot for dinner. Long worried that he would be stuffed and feel bad.

Fortunately, Shi felt very good.

Since Shi had eaten so much, Long would naturally not take him back to the bedroom so early.

So, he took Shi’s hand and went for a walk in the imperial garden.

Two imperial concubines had gone missing. After knowing that the emperor has changed drastically, other concubines would not be so stupid to go out to meet the emperor.

They all tended to stay in their own palace.

Therefore, Long and Shi didn’t encounter anyone while walking in the imperial garden. It was tranquil, bringing them peace of mind.

However, after a quarter of an hour, Ying Feng went there.

“Your Majesty, here’s a letter from Mr. Xu You.”

Xu You? Long raised his eyebrows and quickly took the letter. After reading it… he frowned.

Shi looked at him. “What happened?”

Long gave the letter to Shi, letting him read it by himself.

Shi also raised his eyebrows after reading it. “Two Tianxiangzi… The attitude of the royal family of Eastern Darkness is also very ambiguous…”

“Well, I have no idea what their emperor is thinking about…”
