Chapter 42: Kiss
“Phoenix… Are you running a fever?”
“…”
Upon hearing Long Ling’s words, Su Muluo didn’t respond immediately.
Long Ling looked down at his Phoenix, wanting to reach out and touch his forehead… but then Su Muluo bit him on the shoulder.
Long Ling: “?”
He sensed a hint of discontent in Su Muluo’s bite and met his gaze, finally realizing.
His Phoenix… didn’t seem to have a fever??
Then what could it be?
Long Ling’s hand brushed Su Muluo’s face, feeling the slightly higher temperature than usual, frowning slightly.
If it’s not a fever, then could it be…
A guess crossed Long Ling’s mind, and he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he didn’t dare to speak.
Su Muluo on the sofa was sobered up by him for a short time, and soon fell into the same confused state as before.
Just like the previous two times of insomnia, his whole body seemed to be burned by flames, tossing and turning, unable to rest.
But there was one difference, that is, this time it was not painful, but a strange, completely indescribable feeling.
He had never experienced this feeling before, but vaguely knew what it meant.
After a while, Su Muluo’s soft black hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his fair face. His breathing became increasingly rapid, and the hand holding the corner of Long Ling’s clothes almost couldn’t hold it.
Long Ling was still a little at a loss when holding his Phoenix. He thought Phoenix had a fever just now, but there was a reason, and it was a bit aggrieved to say it.
Last time he thought Phoenix was in estrus, but he was beaten several times by Phoenix. Seeing the phoenix in a similar situation as before, of course he would not think in an improper direction because he had been beaten before.
But who could have thought that this time it seemed to be… so improper.
But why?
Long Ling was confused, he wanted to find out why his phoenix was in such a state. But it was obvious that the first thing to solve now was not this problem.
Su Muluo had buried his face deeply in Long Ling’s shoulder. The feeling tortured him to sweat. His breathing was trembling and broken. He curled up, and his originally fair skin was steamed with an attractive blush.
He didn’t say a word to Long Ling, but his posture and attitude were silent demands. He subconsciously relied on Long Ling and trusted his dragon unconditionally.
He was willing to entrust everything he had to the person in front of him.
Long Ling gently stroked Su Muluo’s cold and soft face, feeling that his phoenix was like a nestling seeking to snuggle and nest. All of a sudden, his heart was full of softness and the joy of being loved by his phoenix.
“Phoenix.”
Long Ling called his Phoenix softly, as if calling his most precious treasure, lowered his head, and kissed Su Muluo’s lips carefully and cherishingly.
Phoenix’s lips were as soft as his own, and Long Ling had imagined the taste many times in his mind. Although they had had several short kisses before, they were just a touch of the water. Only this one could be considered the first kiss between them.
The lips and teeth were intertwined, and the breath depended on each other. This kiss was gentle and affectionate, full of sweetness.
After the kiss, Long Ling opened his eyes and saw that his Phoenix’s face was flushed, and the soft lips were also red and swollen from his kiss, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised.
“Phoenix.”
He called his beloved’s name affectionately, and his slender fingers buried in Su Muluo’s hair and rubbed gently, and then gradually moved down…
Just then, Su Muluo grabbed his arm and said, “I’m fine.”
Long Ling: “?”
Su Muluo was still panting, and the blush on her face did not fade, but she still pretended to be calm and said, “I’m not uncomfortable, let me go, I want to sleep.”
Long Ling: “???”
Long Ling tried to struggle and said, “Phoenix, don’t force yourself, I can be gentler…”
“No, I’m telling the truth,” Su Muluo said, “I’m really fine, you see my forehead is not hot anymore.”
He said that and pressed Long Ling’s hand on his face. Long Ling touched it, and sure enough, the temperature of Phoenix’s body was not as hot as before.
“…”
Long Ling was silent for a while, still couldn’t accept the fact that the phoenix in his mouth flew away like this, so he immediately refused to do it, hugged Su Muluo tightly and said: “Phoenix bullies people!”
The atmosphere was heated!
They also kissed!
He thought he could do this and that with the phoenix!
He felt grievance.
Su Muluo felt a little guilty, touched his head, coughed lightly and said: “I’m sorry, I don’t know why I suddenly became so…”
But the fact is that when he kissed his dragon, those abnormalities were appeased and disappeared from his body.
Perhaps, as the spirit of the jade pendant said, he could only relieve those conditions by getting close to his dragon. And kissing is also a slight degree of closeness.
Long Ling hummed unhappily, and buried his face in Su Muluo’s shoulder and rubbed it.
However, he didn’t mean to force Su Muluo to do this and that with him now. In any case, he had a real kiss with his phoenix, and he was still very happy.
So when he had rubbed enough, he raised his head and said, “What happened to the phoenix just now?”
Su Muluo was silent for a while, and decided to tell him what the spirit of the jade pendant said.
“Didn’t I sleep after I got the phoenix relic that day?” Su Muluo said, “In my dream, I saw the spirit of the jade pendant…”
He told him that the jade pendant was left by himself a thousand years ago, and that he and Long Ling were connected in spirit. But there was only one thing hidden, that is, to repair his soul, he could only do this and that with his dragon.
After hearing those words, Long Ling frowned, and the first question he was concerned about was exactly what Su Muluo had hidden: “Then how can I repair the soul of the phoenix?”
Su Muluo slightly moved his eyes away and said, “I don’t know, it didn’t tell me.”
Long Ling didn’t say anything, but just put his forehead against Su Muluo and stared into his eyes without blinking.
“…”
After a while, Su Muluo couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “It really didn’t tell me, really, there are many things it doesn’t know.”
Long Ling ignored this sentence and said directly, “Do you have to do that with me to repair the soul of Phoenix? But Phoenix is embarrassed to say it?”
Su Mulu: “…”
“Phoenix can’t lie to me.”
Long Ling’s dark golden eyes were deep, and he looked at Su Muluo with a focused and persistent look.
“But there is one thing I want to make clear to Phoenix.”
“I want to be close to Phoenix, not because I like to do this kind of thing… but because I like Phoenix.”
“I like Phoenix, I want Phoenix, and I want to hold Phoenix every day, so that Phoenix can only stay in my arms and can’t go anywhere.”
He said his possessiveness of Phoenix without reservation, his voice was slow and lingering, it was a whisper that only lovers can whisper.
“It is because I like Phoenix that I want to get more from Phoenix. I want Phoenix to give me all her eyes, leave all her joy and emotions on me, and Phoenix’s warmth and body… I want all of these.”
“But if Phoenix doesn’t want to, I can wait, and I am willing to wait. Because I know that Phoenix can’t escape.”
He approached Su Muluo, his breath pausing, His phoenix was completely trapped within his arms.
“Phoenix can only be mine, belonging to me alone.”
Su Muluo met Long Ling’s dark golden eyes. For a moment, he couldn’t find the words.
The gaze of his dragon was gentle but deep, like an abyss without bottom, almost pulling him in.
Yet, if he were truly engulfed by it… it wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Deep down, Su Muluo knew he liked it.
He enjoyed his dragon’s possessiveness, the intense love that could almost consume him. He liked his dragon asserting its sovereignty over him, even if it was a bit excessive.
He… liked only this one dragon.
Su Muluo remained silent for a long time. Just when Long Ling thought he might not respond at all, Su Muluo quietly leaned over, bowed his head, and buried his face in Long Ling’s shoulder.
The phoenix embraced him, completely relying on him.
Long Ling couldn’t help but smile uncontrollably when he saw this, gently returning the embrace of his soft phoenix, stroking the phoenix’s silky hair, and couldn’t resist kissing the top of his head.
“So, even if Phoenix is embarrassed, it can tell me,” Long Ling said. “I can wait, because Phoenix will surely be mine.”
His tone was filled with confident determination. Su Muluo listened silently, inhaling the mature and pleasant scent emanating from him.
He had hesitated for a long time whether to speak to Long Ling, fearing that Long Ling would be upset if he knew about his concealment. So even though he didn’t show it on the surface, he felt lost and worried deep down.
But now, everything was clear between them. Su Muluo felt all his previous confusion and uncertainty dissolve, now feeling incredibly reassured leaning against his dragon’s chest.
“Phoenix,” after holding his soft phoenix like this for a while, Long Ling remembered something and asked, “Did the jade pendant mention the reason for your serious injury?”
Su Muluo shook his head. “It said it didn’t know, including yours.”
Long Ling fell silent, then frowned. “I was too useless. If I could have protected Phoenix back then, Phoenix wouldn’t have suffered such serious injuries.”
“At that time, I was truly useless.”
Su Muluo fell silent, feeling like he had said these words to himself not long ago.
He lifted his head and comforted Long Ling by patting his head. “It’s okay. You were seriously injured at the time, and I couldn’t protect you either.”
Long Ling said coldly, “My injuries were because I was inferior, not Phoenix’s fault. But Phoenix’s serious injury must be because I’m too useless to protect him.”
Su Muluo slapped him lightly. “Don’t talk about yourself like that.”
Long Ling stared at him for a few seconds, then sighed, understanding that Su Muluo didn’t like those words. He changed the subject. “So when will Phoenix and I get to…?”
Su Muluo: “?”
“You just said you could wait, right?”
“I can certainly wait,” Long Ling said confidently, “but Phoenix can’t wait. Didn’t the jade pendant say Phoenix’s condition will only get worse? And just now, Phoenix’s condition at home also shows it’s right. What if something happens suddenly when Phoenix is outside…”
“Shut up!”
Su Muluo imagined that scenario and felt extremely embarrassed. He immediately covered Long Ling’s mouth to stop him from speaking.
Long Ling blinked, then kissed his phoenix’s palm.
Su Muluo: “…”
He quickly withdrew his hand, turned away, and pondered for a moment… finally whispered softly, “Wait a little longer… at least until Yang Yueyue’s matter is resolved.”
Upon hearing this, Long Ling clicked his tongue and said, “Phoenix mentioned another woman while we were being intimate.”
Su Muluo: “?” How did he even think of that?
Long Ling continued, “Phoenix must not like me anymore, only knows to mention other women!”
Su Muluo: “???”
Long Ling: “I don’t care! I’m not happy! I want Phoenix to kiss me a hundred times!!”
Su Muluo: “???”
He knew this dragon was always looking for trouble. He immediately tried to push him away and ignore him—but at that moment, his phone vibrated, indicating several messages had arrived.
Su Muluo had to temporarily stop and pick up his phone. He opened it and found that Liu He had replied to his messages.
[Sorry, Mr. Su, I was in a meeting just now and didn’t see your messages.]
[However, I understand the situation you mentioned. Such incidents are not limited to Lin City; many cities have recently reported incidents of monsters harming people.]
[We have brought Yang Yueyue back to the Bureau of Extraordinary Beings, and tomorrow we will perform a ritual to expel the monster attached to her… If you’re free, you can come to the Bureau of Extraordinary Beings tomorrow morning to see her.]
After reading Liu He’s messages, Su Muluo fell silent for a second.
Did he promise his dragon too early just now?
“Oh, you’ve already caught someone?” Long Ling grinned beside him. “Did Phoenix just say… after this matter is resolved, we can do this and that?”
Su Muluo: “…”
Su Muluo met Long Ling’s smiling eyes and fell silent for a moment, burying his face in Long Ling’s chest.
Motionless, he began to play dead.
