Binding the Dragon for the Empress

The nature of animals makes them alert to danger.

Que Le stood up, opened her arms in front of Xuanlong, stared fiercely at Yan Yuan with ice-blue fox eyes, as if if he dared to come over, he would immediately tear him to pieces.

In fact, it was ridiculous for a monster who had lost his morality and was covered in scars to make such an action, but Yan Yuan was not happy with the posture of desperately trying to protect Xuanlong.

Not to mention that the fox just now tried to trick Xuanlong into leaving with him.

"Shi Daochang, take this fox demon for me, and teach him a lesson."

Yan Yuan's cold voice fell in the hall.

Behind him was an old man in a gray Taoist robe, with gray beard and hair, sunken eye sockets, obedient to Yan Yuan, and leaned slightly, took a step forward, threw the scepter in his hand, raised the vajra cover in his right hand, aimed it at the door of Quere Le To cast a spell.

This monk came to the door yesterday. Not long ago, Yan Yuan secretly promulgated a notice among the people for advanced monks seeking Taoism.

He knows that Xuanlong has ten thousand years of Taoism, if he changes his mind someday, he can leave him at any time, he found this monk not to subdue the demon, but to imprison Xuanlong.

Just now when she came out of Ning Zhiyu's bedroom, Yan Yuan met with the Daoist, and brought him over to ask him to cast a magic barrier outside the Qiankun Palace, but just as she arrived, she heard Xuanlong and Que Le say they wanted to leave royal palace.

How could he not be angry.

"stop."

Seeing that the golden light seemed to be shining out of the vajra cover, Xuanlong gently pushed away Que Le who was standing in front of him, got up and got off the ground, he looked at Yan Yuan, and said in a low voice.

"If you are dissatisfied, come to me, don't hurt others."

Xuanlong had just woken up, even his lips were pale, the obscene clothes that should have fitted him looked loose, his abdomen was not obvious at all, and there was no sign of pregnancy.

He is too skinny.

Seeing the scar on his face, Yan Yuan felt irritable, and seeing him confronting her because of Que Le, her complexion was even more ugly, and her back molars were clenched tightly.

"This fox demon knows how to confuse you, so what's the use of keeping it."

"Is he that important to you?"

Xuanlong didn't understand why Yan Yuan was angry, he didn't love him, so he cared about what to do.This man is always inexplicable.

To him, Que Le is the only family member in the world, so it is important.

There is no benefit in provoking Yan Yuan at this time, Xuanlong didn't answer, but said, "Since you don't like him, let him go."

Feeling something was wrong, Que Le stepped forward to grab Xuan Long's hand in a panic: "You said you would go with me."

Yan Yuan stared at the touching hands of the two, and smiled angrily: "Why should I let him go?"

"Is he the fox demon I told you to surrender?"

"He hurt my people and took the lives of so many people. It would be my utmost benevolence not to kill him."

"For your sake, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped."

"Come here, let me detain this young eunuch who has committed crimes, beat him five hundred times, and put him in a dungeon!"

Leaving aside the monks beside her, and instead punishing the lowly palace servants to deal with Que Le, Yan Yuan was deliberately humiliating him.

The imperial guards came in, and clasped Que Le's hands from left to right to push him out. Que Le struggled frantically, and accidentally met Xuanlong's gaze, perhaps because he was afraid that he would be worried, so he suddenly calmed down and tilted his head smiled at him.

"Abo, don't worry, I'm thick-skinned, I'll be fine."

"I am a fox and I have nine lives."

"As long as he doesn't kill me, one day, I will leave with you."

"We agreed... to take Shuishui and go to Suzhou together to live a good life."

Xuanlong clenched his hands hanging by his side into fists, his fingertips were deeply embedded in the flesh, seeing that Que Le was about to be taken away from his sight, he closed his eyes.

"Let him go."

"You left me because of Longxin...I'll give it to you."

Yan Yuan turned around to look at Xuanlong in surprise, ordered the guards to stop temporarily, and said uncomfortablely: "I don't want the dragon's heart, I only want your inner alchemy."

Xuanlong opened his ice-green eyes and looked at him calmly: "The inner alchemy is gone."

Yan Yuan frowned beautifully: "It's gone? Where did it go?"

Xuanlong was silent.

Yan Yuan took a few steps forward, lifted Xuanlong's jaw with her slender fingers, and said coldly.

"Don't lie to me just because I can't bear to dig your heart out."

"I hate it when people lie to me."

"I want your inner alchemy."

Xuanlong: "You let go of Querle first."

How clever Que Le was, he immediately understood why Xuanlong said so confidently that he had a solution. It turned out that what he said had a solution was to use his heart as a bargaining chip for his own freedom.

Xuanlong never thought of leaving.

Que Le struggled like crazy, and cried out in a broken state.

"Don't...Abo...don't..."

"I said, if you don't leave, I won't either!!"

"I don't allow you to die for me, I don't want you to die!!"

Yan Yuan got a headache from the noise, waved her hand, and ordered the guards to lock up Que Le and wait for disposal, but Que Le was quickly dragged out, and the heart-piercing shouts became farther and farther away.

Xuanlong's eyes turned red, and Yan Yuan felt surprised that this dull and taciturn man had such a fragile side.At the same time, he also felt unhappy, how could he be soft for people other than himself.

Applying force with her fingertips, Xuanlong's cheeks were pinched with red marks, Yan Yuan stared at him coldly, refusing to let go of the slightest expression on his face.

"You and that vixen really have a very deep relationship."

"You don't really like him, do you?"

Xuanlong lowered his eyes, and his black eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes like tree shadows.

"He and I are relatives."

Yan Yuan sneered and let go: "You'd better be."

"It's the first time I've seen a dragon and a fox become relatives."

"It's useless if you like him. He's just a eunuch now, so he can't satisfy you."

Hearing this, Xuan Long was also a little angry, he didn't show his anger or disappointment, he just said indifferently: "Who I like, it has nothing to do with you."

Yan Yuan was like a wolf whose tail was stepped on, and exploded immediately: "Naturally, it has something to do with it. You promised to stay by my side, so you can only treat me wholeheartedly!"

Xuan Long sat down by the bed, did not look at him, lowered his eyes, and asked awkwardly, "What about you?"

"In the past, I never thought you were so heartless and cruel."

"You also said that although you couldn't love me wholeheartedly, you would treat me kindly...you were all lying."

"As far as you are concerned... just use it."

Yan Yuan held her breath, wanted to get angry, but it was unreasonable, suppressing her dissatisfaction.

"Where am I being cruel?"

"I just want to keep you by my side, why have I ever treated you badly?"

"I will also let you live in this side hall of Qiankun Palace, and ask the palace people to serve you with delicious food and drink. Isn't it more comfortable than the bottom of your broken pool?"

Xuan Long raised his eyes and looked out the window, "To me, this imperial palace is just a cage."

Yan Yuan: "Then you didn't stay willingly, you said you like me."

There is a big willow tree outside the window. In autumn, the leaves of the willow tree become withered and yellow. The blue sky is very beautiful, but the outside world is already far away from him.

What little life he had left was destined to be wasted within this cold high wall.

Xuanlong retracted his gaze, lowering his eyes.

"I regret."

"I shouldn't have come."

If he had known that Yan Yuan didn't want their child, he wouldn't have come.But if even Yan Yuan can't accept their child... After his death, how should he survive in this cruel world.

"You must not regret it!" Yan Yuan sat down next to Xuanlong, and grabbed his hand vigorously, showing her sense of existence almost childishly.

"You can only love me in this life."

Xuanlong's wrist was painfully pinched, and he wanted to pull it back, but failed, Yan Yuan loosened his grip a little.

"It's useless for you to regret it. Last night, the cultivator sprinkled spirit-removing powder in the palace. Any monster entering this palace will not be able to use any spells, and you will not be able to get out."

"If you don't believe me, try it."

Xuan Long moved his lips, "Really."

In fact, Yan Yuan was not sure about the truth of what the monk said, she was testing Xuanlong, if his spells were still there, why bother talking with him here, a little bit of spiritual power would not be enough to save Que Le.

If it is true, wouldn't it be unnecessary to set up a barrier.

"You should have found out."

The corners of Xuanlong's lips curled up: "Yes."

Yan Yuan took his hand, firmly interlocked his fingers, looked at his chiseled profile and said: "Then you just stay by my side obediently, don't think about what's there or not, I don't think that fox demon will come to you anymore." It's pleasing to the eye, and it won't hurt you."

"Your scar is ugly, but I can bear it."

Xuanlong said in a muffled voice, "You don't have to bear it."

Yan Yuan frowned unhappily, but did not let go of his hand: "Don't be ignorant of good and evil."

"Who else would want you besides me? That fox demon is probably trying to lie to your inner alchemy, otherwise he will always pester you to do something. What do you have for him to figure out."

Xuan Long lowered his head and didn't even look at him: "...Not everyone is like you."

Yan Yuan's face turned cold: "I will get angry if you do this again."

The old Taoist was dismissed by Yan Yuan just now, only each other was left in the hall, Xuanlong didn't have the habit of haggling with Yan Yuan, so he changed the subject.

"When did you let the queer music go?"

Yan Yuan became very irritable when he mentioned others, she shook off Xuanlong's hand and stood up, "Whenever you give me the inner alchemy, I will let him go."

Xuanlong's throat moved slightly: "You let him go first... When the child is born, I will give you the inner alchemy."

Yan Yuan turned around abruptly: "No, this child cannot be born."

Xuanlong's hands hanging on the edge of the bed tightened, his voice became hoarse: "Why not."

Yan Yuan seems to have become particularly impetuous recently, he paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, his clothes fluttering, he suddenly stopped and said to Xuanlong: "You are a dragon, I am a human, what does our child look like? "

"Didn't I tell you that day, this child will definitely not be accepted by the world, and will be regarded as a monster!"

No matter how powerful Xuanlong was, when he heard the child's biological father dislike his existence, he would still feel as if his heart was being twisted, and his fingertips dug into the bed board unconsciously, without even noticing that blood was bleeding.

"He... won't be very strange, but there will be dragon horns on his head. In the dragon clan, it is a very good thing to have a pair of beautiful dragon horns."

"If you really don't like him...you don't need to announce to the world that you are his biological father, the palace is so big, you give him a room and a meal, then..."

Yan Yuan felt that this man was simply unreasonable, so she interrupted him impatiently.

"You figure it out! This is the human world, not the dragon clan!"

"Besides, if Ayu finds out that you are pregnant with my child, what do you tell him to think?"
