Oh. My. Fate?! (BL, Volume 7) - Chapter 93: Chapter 93

Xiang Yu leaned back as far as XinLan leaned forward, his eyes widening. What was this guy trying todo?
"Alternatively ..." XinLan reached out as if he wanted to touch him.
Xiang Yu jumped away and hid behindthe corner. "No."
"No to turning my feelings intoeternal gratitude? Or ... to the alternative?" Xin Lanapproached the corner with a smile. He didn't even need to act. Hereally felt that ... this was quite fun. Just look at his expression!When had he ever seen a fallen god look like this? And he hadn'teven threatened him. He was just talking about feelings.
"I ..." Xiang Yu's lipsmoved but he finally stopped talking and hid further behind thecorner. Only a pair of widened eyes peeked out behind it while hislong hair fell to the side like a black veil.
Xin Lan's eyes narrowed. If thishad been before he met Jinde ... this might actually have temptedhim. He wasn't that much into the innocent type but he did enjoy tohunt. And this person ... with how he retreated two steps as soon ashe took one toward him, he did entice him. Maybe it wouldn't be toobad to play a bit with him. Xin Lan's lips curved further and heleaned against the wall again, waiting for Xiang Yu's reaction.
The fallen god didn't budge. Hestayed behind the corner and stared at Xin Lan, looking out for anymovement.
The two of them reached an impasse.
Xin Lan crossed his arms in front ofhis chest and raised his chin. Mn. How curious. It seemed thatdespite his erroneous belief that he was into him, this fallen goddidn't think much of him in return. If anything, he saw him as adanger he should evade. Well, with how he had fallen because of alove trial, that wasn't too surprising.
"Do you detest the thought ofme being in love with you that much?"
Xiang Yu's head bobbed up anddown. He didn't want this guy to like him! That wasn't a realdragon! He couldn't love. It would just end in disaster again. Andanyway, Tian had said that he would find somebody to love in thefuture. Why should he waste himself on this bad person?
"Then you want me gone."
Xiang Yu nodded again but stilldidn't speak. The less he said the better. That fake dragon shouldleave soon if he kept mum, shouldn't he?
"But ... I think I like what Isee more and more." He pushed himself off the wall and took astep to the corner. "Ah, the way you try to hide from me,covering your slender body and exposing your beautiful eyes thatsparkle in the dark ..."
Xiang Yu's eyes widened.
"You really know how to make aman lose his mind, don't you?"
Xiang Yu shook his head and hid evenfurther behind the corner.
"Mn, that's what you say but... Why do I feel that it's not the truth? I really can't imaginethat this is only my one-sided affection. Are you sure you do notwant to accept my feelings?" He took another step toward thecorner only to find the fallen god retreat further.
Only one of those black eyes wasexposed now and not even the black mark between his brows could beseen. Xin Lan raised his brows. Mn ... Not too bad. He had probablybeen very pretty before his fall. No wonder a demon had found him tobe enough to his liking to marry him. The demons might not be able tofeel but they appreciated beauty. A pretty thing like him should beable to strike a nerve with some of them. Especially paired with thatinnocent retreat.
Xin Lan looked at the fingers thathad curled around the wall until his joints turned white. He smiledand raised his hands in defense. "Alright, you do not want me.I'll have to accept that. But I really can't promise that I'llbe able to stop myself from loving you. You're ... so enticing."
"No!"
"No?" His eyes narrowed."I think you are."
Xiang Yu pursed his lips. Why wasthis guy so persistent? Hadn't he already said that he didn'tlike him? "What do you want?"
"Didn't I say that already? Iwant you to ... help me. There's this friend I have ..."
"You don't have friends!"
"Alright. Then let's call hima former lover."
Xiang Yu blinked and exposed hissecond eye again. He didn't question that explanation at all. Thisguy certainly had a lot of former lovers.
Xin Lan's lips twitched but heforced himself to continue. "He got into an accident and hissoul was badly hurt. As you said I'm not like the other dragons. Ican't stay true to anyone. But that doesn't mean that I'llforget about my former partners just like that. Since we separated ongood terms and he also has a new lover now who he is happily marriedwith, I feel that I should help those two out a bit."
Xiang Yu nodded. That was actuallyquite decent of him. Maybe he wasn't that bad after all.
"So ... since you know how toheal a soul could you maybe help me out a little?"
"These two ... are theydragons?"
Xin Lan looked to the destroyedwindow and sighed. "My former lover is. As for his husband, hewas a dragon in his past life and back then, he joined his soul withhim. When he was reincarnated as a human, they met again and finallygot together again. The only thing keeping them from finding truehappiness is my lover's injured soul. He is weakened very much. Hishusband ... worries about him day and night. Such a beautiful pair,just a single look tells you how much they love each other."
Xiang Yu tilted his head. That didsound like a couple that should receive help. "Then ... I couldtake a look."
"That would be great. Comethen." He reached out but Xiang Yu ignored his hand.
"Where do they live? I'll gothere on my own."
"I doubt I can send a fallengod over there just like that. Won't they be scared? Don't worry,I'll lead you there." He turned away and left the teahouse,not caring at all that he was supposed to wait for Qiang Yan tocontact them. Why should he? A secret realm for his Master to hide inwould only be necessary if he wasn't healed. But if his soul wasreturned to its original state ... What would he care about Jin Ling?A child such as him wouldn't be able to hurt the previous dragonking. Not in his dreams.
