Ivan finally arrived at Buspoka after several detours. The entire Capital was covered in snow, and the entrance and exits were strictly controlled. Ivan was stopped there, then taken directly into the palace.

Because Xue Ling had previously mentioned that Ivan would come to Buspoka, Kent had ordered the soldiers at the gate of the city to search for suspicious figures and bring any youth who registered themselves as Ivan into the palace.

Half a month’s traveling and torment had already exhausted Ivan both physically and mentally. Too many hostile things had happened along the way. People were afraid of his hair and eyes which were gradually changing color, but after they learned that he was a healer, they would turn around and beg him for aid.

Ivan had already begun to control his urges to heal after discovering that healing others would only accelerate the progress of the poison in his body. He was devastated. On the one hand, his inherent goodness was firmly rooted, and he just couldn’t help but want to save anyone in need. On the other hand, he didn’t want to die. After several internal debates, he told himself that he could only save more people if he survived. The people who were asking him for help now could wait until he found Kent and healed himself. He could return to save them then.

Ivan knew that this was not what Xue Ling would want to see, but he really wanted to tell Xue Ling that there was nothing that couldn’t be solved with love. He could forgive those people who had administered poison to him because they were in low, humble positions. If it hadn’t been them, someone else would still have been hired to give him poison. He also did not hate Kent’s mother. He knew that, from the Queen’s standpoint, he did not appear to be very suitable for Kent, but he believed that as long as he could see the Queen, he would have ways to persuade her. After all, the feelings between Kent and him were so deep; the entire world should be moved by their feelings.

Xue Ling did not know which direction his thoughts had taken. When he learned that Ivan had entered the palace, he asked the system to open up a live stream for him while he stayed curled up in bed, lazy and relaxed. Xi pushed open the door and entered, and Xue Ling waved him over. “Ivan entered the palace. Would you like to watch it with me?”

Although Xi could not sense the system’s existence, he knew that there were some peculiarities about Xue Ling and understood that Xue Ling could monitor Ivan at will. Although he was dissatisfied that Xue Ling was always paying attention to other people, Xi still sat down beside him and used his divine power to create a big screen in front of them that displayed Ivan’s every move and action.

Xue Ling, who had previously said that he was extremely disgusted with Xi, found a comfortable position and nestled himself into Xi’s arms despite his words, and waited to watch the ending of this grand play.

So far, Ivan still had no idea how strong the poison in his body was. Xue Ling wanted to see if Kent would tell him the truth, or if he would simply use Ivan to try to stop his revenge.

Xi’s hands gently massaged his head, and he seemed to be completely uninterested in the two of them. “We’ve already reached this point. What will you do next?”

Xue Ling comfortably toyed with Xi’s hands and carelessly said, “Have Ivan personally kill Kent.”

“Huh?” Xi’s hands paused, and he frowned, puzzled. “How do you plan to do that?”

“I don’t have to do much. Just tell Ivan that only you have the ability to cure his poison. If he wants to be saved, he’ll need to abide by the original terms of our contract and help me kill Kent.” Xue Ling narrowed his eyes. He looked lazy and relaxed, but his eyes were murderous.

Xi lowered his gaze. “You’ll owe me for doing things using my name.”

Xue Ling sighed and lifted his head to look at him. His head was resting on Xi’s knee. He raised his hand, and slid his fingertips up along Xi’s neck before finally pinching his chin and tugging his head down. “Yes, I’ll owe you again. Great god, what do you want me to do to make up for it? Use my body as payment?”

Xi spoke somewhat helplessly, “I don’t want to develop this kind of relationship with you.” He didn’t only want the simple ** contact. After that incident, he understood much more about ‘feelings’ and ‘love’, and his love for the man in his arms was almost overflowing. The other party obviously knew his feelings and intentions but liked to rile him up and then carelessly leave him to the side and watch his anxious and helpless appearance. “You know that.”

Xue Ling’s hand stilled for a moment. He sneered, but did not reply.

A long time later, he finally spoke, “I’m getting my revenge on you.”

“Getting revenge?” Xi showed a bitter smile. “What did I do to you…” After speaking halfway, the Beast God who had obviously gained a lot of knowledge during this period, suddenly remembered how he had gotten to meet this little wolf cub, and recalled how he had imprisoned him for half a month because he didn’t understand how he really felt about him… “Is it because I spanked your butt?”

Xue Ling raised his head and glared at him, his face written full of the words ‘you still dare bring it up’, as though that period of time was the greatest disgrace of his wolf life. Because he was extremely irritated, his cheeks were a little flushed, and Xi gave the corners of his eyes a kiss before saying in amusement, “Who told you to be so disobedient back then?~”

He did not intend to apologize and even found it amusing to recall that scene. He pinched Xue Ling’s cheeks, and after Xue Ling slapped his hands away, Xi rubbed his head instead. “You’re the one who said it. All grievances and debts between us have been cleared out. Regardless of whether it was something I did to you, or how you made use of me, hasn’t it all been settled already?”

Xue Ling: “…” That was what he’d said, but he was still angry!

He turned his head away from Xi and ignored him. On the screen, Ivan was already crying in Kent’s arms.

They hadn’t seen each other for barely two weeks, but Kent’s lover seemed to be much more haggard. The arduous journey had caused Ivan’s face to lose all its baby-fat roundness as he lost considerable weight. His little face was sharp, and together with his pitiful big eyes as he cried grievously, Kent put down his suspicions, held him in his arms, and listened to his tearful complaints.
