Chapter 44: Suyuan
“A thousand years ago… he was your true fiancé. Please don’t forget.”
With these words echoing in the room, silence descended.
Li He: “…”
What happened?
Why aren’t Mr. Su and Zhenlong speaking?
Looking left and right, although she didn’t quite understand the words just now, she felt like there might be some gossip to hear… But just as she was puzzled, Su Muluo raised a barrier with a wave of his hand, keeping her outside.
Outside the barrier, she couldn’t hear or see anything. Li He stood still for a few seconds, dragged over a chair, and silently sat down.
Inside the barrier, Su Muluo’s icy gaze fell on the demonic spirit, saying, “How pathetic, this is just your own imagination.”
The demonic spirit pulsated silently, as if someone behind it was laughing loudly, their voice tinged with mockery: “Though you’ve lost your memories, your eyes are still the same as before, unchanged.”
“However, it’s precisely because you’ve lost your memories that you’ve forgotten our past together, right?”
“Phoenix, I wonder if you’ve dreamed of me in your dreams?”
The mention of “Phoenix” made Su Muluo feel a wave of nausea. This disgust was a physiological reaction, just like when he heard that strange man call him “Phoenix” in his dreams before.
But in those dreams, he was alone, whereas now his dragon was by his side. Su Muluo immediately turned his gaze to Long Ling and found Long Ling’s eyes dark and stormy, which confused him.
Seeing his Phoenix’s emotions fluctuate, Long Ling knew he had misunderstood and immediately soothed him by taking his hand and softly reassuring him, “Phoenix, don’t worry, I don’t believe him, I just find him disgusting.”
In Long Ling’s eyes, the man behind the demonic spirit was as ugly as a dead c0ckroach and trying to lay claim to his Phoenix was laughable and disgusting.
Listening to his low and gentle words, feeling the warmth Long Ling’s dragon brought him as their fingers intertwined, Su Muluo’s originally unsettled heart suddenly calmed down, and he smiled faintly.
Then he leaned over and gently rubbed his forehead against Long Ling’s.
The demonic spirit: “…”
Perhaps they found such intimacy stimulating, as the person behind the demonic spirit didn’t speak for several seconds. But no one responded to him.
After this silence for a while, the person realized that if this continued, he might really be ignored. His voice turned colder: “Phoenix, don’t you want to know what happened a thousand years ago?”
Even if there are individuals of the same level as Zhenlong, as long as Mr. Su and another Zhenlong are here, plus the combined strength of all the Bureau of Extraordinary Beings, they won’t fear the other side.
The only concern now is whether that person will, as Su Muluo said, stir up trouble between humans and demons again.
“I will immediately report this situation to headquarters,” Li He sighed, “No matter what, it seems that the human world may really become turbulent.”
Su Muluo nodded slightly and said, “There’s one more thing, do you know about Suyuan?”
Li He asked in surprise, “What place is that? I’ve never heard of it before.”
Su Muluo said, “It’s a place left by that person. I plan to go there and see if I can find something about my past with my dragon.”
He didn’t elaborate further, and Li He didn’t press for more details. She knew she had already received enough useful information, and further inquiries would delve into Mr. Su’s private matters.
“Mr. Su, rest assured, we will find that place for you,” Li He said, “In addition, we will send out the elite of the Bureau of Extraordinary Beings to ensure your safety.”
Su Muluo said, “No need for protection, just me and my dragon will go.”
Li He wanted to say something more, but Long Ling said lightly, “With you around, it might become a burden.”
Li He: “…”
Seems a bit too real.
Afterward, the three separated. Li He went to report everything to Zheng Hechun, while Su Muluo, after obtaining Yang Yueyue’s hospital address, sent a message to Song Nan.
Upon receiving it, Song Nan immediately replied with a series of excited gratitude, even wanting to send money to Su Muluo as thanks, but Su Muluo refused.
He and his dragon came out of the Bureau of Extraordinary Beings and found it was still early, so they went to a coffee shop first.
“It feels like we’re going to go out again after just coming back,” in the coffee shop, Su Muluo looked at the empty shop and said, “Just came back for a day, and now we’re leaving again.”
Long Ling leaned his chin on Su Muluo’s shoulder and chuckled, “It’s okay, I’ll support the Phoenix in the future.”
Su Muluo looked at him and said, “How are you going to support me?”
Long Ling said, “I’ll have money soon, and then I can buy a big beautiful house for the Phoenix.”
There was a hint of pride in his tone.
But Su Muluo just took it as a joke and smiled, “Alright, then I want a house with a small yard. I can grow flowers and plants later.”
Long Ling readily agreed and kissed Su Muluo’s cheek.
Su Muluo was silent for a moment, feeling that since they kissed, this dragon had become more and more adept at taking advantage of him.
So he patted Long Ling, saying, “I suspect that person is manipulating the Elder, and he probably has more than one force.”
The incident of the Avian Clan’s transformation can be traced back fifty years ago, which means that person might have started acting around that time.
As for Long Ling’s hatching, although the Bureau of Strange Affairs had immediately suppressed the news, the aura of a true dragon’s birth had already shaken thousands of miles around… Other monsters might still be confused, thinking it could be the tremor caused by some millennium-old monster. But as a monster contemporaneous with Su Muluo and Long Ling, that person must have sensed it as the sign of a true dragon’s birth, immediately focusing their attention on Lin City.
Unlike Su Muluo and Long Ling who lost their memories, this person, on the contrary, knew many things that these two didn’t know. From the very beginning, they came prepared.
Long Ling said, “So does the Phoenix still plan to go to the place he mentioned, Su Yuan?”
Su Muluo nodded, “We will meet eventually. I’m not afraid of him. Besides, this place always gives me a very familiar feeling… Anyway, I want to go there and take a look.”
When he heard the words “Su Yuan,” it felt like hearing about his hometown. This place naturally attracted him, likely being where the Phoenix Clan once lived.
So no matter what schemes that person might have, he would find this place and uncover his past.
Long Ling hugged his own Phoenix without objection, smiling, “Wherever the Phoenix goes, I’ll follow.”
Like Su Muluo, he also felt a strong familiarity with Su Yuan and a sense of fondness.
Su Muluo made a sound of acknowledgment, remembering there was something else he hadn’t clarified with his dragon. “By the way, about that person mentioning a marriage contract between him and me…”
Before Su Muluo could finish, Long Ling interrupted, “Phoenix doesn’t need to say anything.”
Su Muluo looked at Long Ling, who gently touched his Phoenix’s forehead and said, “I don’t believe his words. Even without past memories, I know the Phoenix has always belonged to me alone.”
With their bond, there couldn’t possibly be a third party proposing a marriage.
Therefore, that person must be lying.
Su Muluo smiled at hearing this, realizing he had been thinking the same. He gently rubbed against Long Ling’s cheek, like a sticky little bird.
Long Ling: “!”
Long Ling felt his Phoenix was incredibly adorable, immediately taking advantage and saying, “I don’t want the Phoenix to rub against me, I want the Phoenix to kiss me!”
Su Muluo: “…”
Long Ling hugged him to prevent him from leaving and said, “I want the Phoenix to kiss me!”
Su Muluo stayed silent for a few seconds before saying, “There are people outside.”
Upon hearing this, Long Ling knew his Phoenix was willing, lightly laughing, “They won’t see us here. I’ll shield the Phoenix.”
Then he adjusted their position so his back faced the door, ensuring that people passing by wouldn’t notice what the two were doing inside the shop.
Su Muluo: “…”
He remained silent again, just looking down with his eyes lowered, his long eyelashes trembling slightly as Long Ling lifted his chin and slowly leaned in.
Long Ling’s hand rested between Su Muluo’s slender waist, feeling the warmth and breath of his Phoenix in his arms, lowering his head to kiss those soft lips.
His Phoenix could only belong to him alone.
Long Ling thought to himself.
No one could take him away.
The morning light was just right, and this kiss flowed gently like a stream, tender and intoxicating… But as they kissed, Su Muluo suddenly heard a voice.
He immediately turned his head—seeing an orange cat frozen at the coffee shop’s entrance, one paw half-raised in mid-air, completely motionless.
Su Muluo: “…”
Long Ling: “…”
Qiansui: “…”
Qiansui said, “I didn’t see anything. You can continue.”
Then swiftly turned around, using all four limbs to quickly run away.
Su Muluo: “…………”
Su Muluo looked quietly at Long Ling.
Long Ling’s heart skipped a beat, fearing his Phoenix might hit him, immediately hugging him tighter and not letting go.
Su Muluo said expressionlessly, “Go away. I won’t let you hug me!”
Long Ling replied, “I won’t let go. If the Phoenix isn’t angry, then I’ll let go.”
Su Muluo tried to pat him, saying, “I’m ignoring you!”
“But the Phoenix won’t ignore me,” Long Ling laughed, “Clearly, the Phoenix enjoyed that kiss just now.”
Su Muluo: “…”
Su Muluo was almost driven mad by him, so he decided to transform back to his original form. A little Phoenix flapped its wings and flew out of Long Ling’s embrace, reaching a place he couldn’t reach.
Long Ling: “!”
He thought his Phoenix was about to fly away and immediately felt remorseful. Unexpectedly, the little Phoenix just jumped onto his head and playfully messed up his hair with its small claws.
Long Ling: “…”
After messing up his hair, the little Phoenix angrily settled down there. Despite looking a bit ruffled, it was still round and very cute.
Long Ling remained silent for a moment.
He couldn’t help but start laughing.
Little Phoenix: “Chirp chirp chirp!”
Seeing Long Ling daring to laugh, it immediately angrily chirped and pecked Long Ling a few times.
Long Ling quickly suppressed his laughter, and very seriously said, “The Phoenix is right, I was wrong.”
Then he attempted to reach out and pet this shiny little Phoenix.
Little Phoenix: “Chirp!”
No touching you!
It spread its wings threateningly.
This threatening gesture almost made Long Ling burst into laughter again. However, to avoid being pecked by the Phoenix, he struggled hard to contain his amusement and said, “Does the Phoenix want to go back?”
Seeing his Phoenix looking so angry, it probably didn’t want to change back again.
The little Phoenix turned its head away, ignoring him.
Long Ling smiled slightly, with a fierce little Phoenix on his head, they returned to the rental.
