Lost Atlantis 25

Live again? Who was he going to bring back to life?

Sein Hall?

No, don't mess around. He didn't want to live. He was dead, please let him enter the water!

Xie Xi was very surprised. He didn't think there would be a strange thing as resurrection. The background of this world seemed quite normal. The land and seabed all used science and technology. How come there was this strange power?

Maybe it was just a rumour and the fifth and sixth princes had misunderstood?

Xie Xi wasn't sure and his heart felt very empty. He had to check to see if there was such a setting in this world.

The reserve face could only be used for a period of time and couldn't exceed half an hour. Xie Xi was very cautious with it, especially the important faces. He wasn't certain if he could collect the faces again and didn't dare waste it.

Of course, there was a great risk. Just in case there were hidden cameras, he prepared many similar faces to slowly change his face.

They were the type that made it hard to detect the difference from a distance or the back.

This was also dangerous but it was much better than exposing his original appearance.

Xie Xi investigated overnight and starting sweating.

There really was a record of this phenomenon.

Haiqui itself was quite mysterious. They were primitive underwater creatures and completely different from humans. They were bloodthirsty, aggressive, lacked empathy and even ate their compatriots raw.

They were particularly fond of humans. When Atlantis was part the land and the sea, they didn't hesitate to go ash.o.r.e and attack. As long as they could eat people, they didn't care if they died on the sh.o.r.e.

Once Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea, they stared at the royal family and rushed over, killing many princes and princesses.

Ironically, the existence of Atlantis underwater created a defense line that made Haiqui unable to eat humans on land. The land people gradually forget the threat of Haiqui and didn't know that the underwater kingdom was helping them fend off murderous creatures.

This played a large role in the fighting between factions underwater. Atlantis protected humanity but humans didn't know. They just continued destroying the marine environment.

Intentional hunting led to the extinction of species and excessive discharge of waste also complicated the composition of seawater. The underwater people's requirements for water were more stringent than the land people's requirements for air.

Land people couldn't stand the smog while underwater people couldn't stand the polluted sea. Their skin would gain sores from prolonged exposure and their internal organs would corrode. Heavily polluted areas were hard to isolate.

The empire invested a great deal of manpower and resources every year to purify the sea, but unfortunately, the results were extremely low.

If the pollution was made by the underwater people, they wouldn't be so angry. However, the disaster came from the land people who were 'protected' by them.

How could the underwater people not feel hatred?

The most extreme militant group even wanted to place the lunatics of Haiqui onto the land to retaliate against the land people.

Of course, this was very irrational. The Haiqui people might lack empathy but they were still highly intelligent creatures. The people in power had even more brains. If the Haiqui people were really let out, it wouldn't just be the land people who would be eaten.

The state teacher of Haiqui was very mysterious. He was much weaker than the soldiers but he had an incomprehensible power.

There was a real record of him resurrecting someone dead.

The former king of the Haiqui Kingdom was killed by the third prince on the battlefield but he came alive again. The purpose of his campaign this time was to get revenge on the enemy who previously took his life!

Xie Xi saw this and his heart started beating faster. "Resurrection is really possible."

Roast Pork Bun said, "Daddy isn't dead. Resurrection is useless."

Xie Xi wondered, "Will the state teacher know that I'm not dead?"

Roast Pork Bun could be smart. "Then you can meet the sixth prince again. He is so handsome!"

Xie Xi, "…"

He must be infected by the third prince if he wanted to discuss business with the stupid cat.

After seeing this, Xie Xi didn't dare stay for a long time. He slipped back to his residence and tried to calm down.

Thinking too much was useless. The priority was to seize this time!

He had to quickly complete this task and leave the world, so that he didn't need to worry about being exposed.

As for the side mission, Xie Xi originally didn't intend to collect one million tons of garbage. Compared to clearing the world, he preferred leaving here as quickly as possible.

Then what about after he left? A world that hadn't been cleared wouldn't be blocked. What should he do if he searched for it again?

If that happened…

No way…

His luck would be too bad! Xie Xi thought about his luck in finding X's worlds three times. No, Xie Xi didn't dare give up on this side task. He had to complete it and clear the world, making this world 'independent'.

It wasn't for anyone else, it was just for himself! He must never enter this quasi-world again!

Xie Xi raised his spirits and found a chance to run away from the third prince the next day.

The third prince might wait to tie Xie Xi to his belt but Xie Xi spoke very well. He just made an uncomfortable expression and the third prince let him go.

Xie Xi immediately changed to the first face and accepted an errand to send something to the palace of the eldest prince.

He had better luck this time and the eldest prince had just returned.

Xie Xi encountered the prince face to face but showed some restraint because of his guilt.

"I have seen Your Highness." He gave a bow.

The eldest prince looked at him and didn't let him get up or leave.

Xie Xi lowered his head while he felt himself being examined. The eldest prince was watching him, just like he watched the second face. No, before Xie Xi started changing faces, he stood guard in the hall and the eldest prince had looked at him the same way.

Xie Xi's heart tightened. Did the eldest prince recognize him?

Impossible…

It wasn't just a change in his face. It also changed his temperament and many small habits. It was impossible for the eldest prince to recognize him.

Xie Xi's body was stiff as he asked softly, "Your Highness?"

The eldest prince finally opened his mouth. "Get up."

Xie Xi straightened but didn't dare look up. He wanted to get close to the eldest prince but found that he didn't know what to do.

When it came to the fifth, sixth, second and third prince, Xie Xi didn't need to take the initiative. They were all more active than him and rushed to help him fill the task progress.

The eldest prince was very different from them. He kept observing Xie Xi, full of emotions that Xie Xi couldn't understand.

Xie Xi could only put down the things he was carrying and say, "If Your Highness doesn't have any commands, this subordinate will go back first."

The eldest prince replied gently, "Yes." He was let go.

Xie Xi left without a clue.

What to do? How could he collect the love of the eldest prince?

Xie Xi went to the palace of the fourth prince but it was the same as before. He couldn't enter through the door and had to put the items down and leave.

The fourth prince was in poor health and wasn't seeing anyone. Xie Xi felt helpless.

He didn't receive any gains and returned to the sleeping area of the first place, intending to clean it up. He might not often come back to rest here.

He had just returned when he heard a low voice behind him.

"Who are you?"

Xie Xi's back stiffened as he became startled. He turned slowly and saw the eldest prince standing there with a sullen expression. Xie Xi's reaction was fairly quick. He was slightly surprised but bowed first. "I have seen the eldest prince."

The eldest prince stared at him, dark eyes that were rare at the bottom of the sea locked on him. It was as if his eyes could penetrate through the skin.

Xie Xi's palms were sweating. He didn't know what was meant by this sentence and just said, "This subordinate is called Jesse. I am from a side branch of the Hall family. I didn't know that Your Highness was coming over and acted rudely.

He replied in a polite manner but the eldest prince was still staring at him without saying anything.

Xie Xi tentatively raised his head and met the dark eyes.

At this moment, Xie Xi thought he saw the housekeeper Randy and the infinite despair under the calm.

He quickly lowered his head again.

The eldest prince seemed to blink in front of him and forced Xie Xi to look up. The two men stared at each other, their appearance reflected in each other's eyes.

Xie Xi's face was slightly white and he couldn't say a word.

The eldest prince stared at him and slender, cool fingers touched his cheek.

The sea was cold and their bodies were cold, but the fingers of the eldest prince were even colder. They were like ice hidden in the abyss, causing Xie Xi's skin to tingle.

Xie Xi held his breath and thought he would die at this moment.

He thought the eldest prince would break his neck.

Then the suffocating atmosphere disappeared. The eldest prince released him and his voice was no longer cold. He stared at Xie Xi and whispered, "Sorry."

Xie Xi was stunned but soon recovered his spirit.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." The eldest prince distanced himself and paused. "I always feel like I have seen you somewhere before."

Xie Xi was shocked and was too afraid to look up. Did the eldest prince really recognize his face?

He replied, "I have been on duty in the palace and Your Highness might've seen this subordinate elsewhere."

The eldest prince was silent. Xie Xi didn't dare say anything else.

The prince suddenly spoke again, "I admit my mistake."

Xie Xi, "…"

"Excuse me. Go back and rest."

Xie Xi didn't dare interact with the eldest prince any longer and bowed. "This subordinate will go back first."

The eldest prince turned and left. The atmosphere around him changed instantly and there was no longer the sense of oppression that stopped people from breathing.

Xie Xi looked at the back of the eldest prince and felt very perturbed. He always felt that there was something wrong.

In the evening, the busy third prince came to see him again for dinner. Xie Xi pretended to be ill and had no appet.i.te. The third prince saw he was in poor spirits and didn't keep him long. The prince watched him eat and let him go after he was full.

Xie Xi changed to a reserve face and went to the fourth prince.

The eldest prince was abnormal and Xie Xi was also worried about the fourth prince.

This person had been living isolated because of his physical illness but no one knew exactly how he was.

Xie Xi was going to take a look in advance, lest he be caught off guard like he was with the eldest prince.

Xie Xi had come to the palace of the fourth prince previously before and saved many faces.

He entered without much trouble after changing his face.

The residence of the fourth prince was very quiet, like a hideaway at the bottom of the sea. It was completely different from the tumultuous world outside. It was more like a hermit's residence.

Xie Xi smelt a cold fragrance, which seemed to be the aroma of a certain herb.

Roast Pork Bun suddenly said, "Someone is coming over!"

Xie Xi instantly hid in the coral bushes.

Moments later, footsteps came and Xie Xi saw the fourth prince through the coral.

The fourth prince's steps were slow but not heavy. He wasn't morbidly pale. His lips were pale but they were like cherry blossoms blooming after the winter snow melted, overflowing with vitality.

The fourth prince wasn't sick at all!

This thought had just flashed through his head when he heard a low voice exclaiming, "Who is it?"

Xie Xi jumped. He had been discovered!

He hadn't moved and the fourth prince was at least five or six metres away, yet the fourth prince saw him!

Roast Pork Bun screamed, "He's coming!"

Xie Xi hesitated in his reserve face but finally didn't dare risk it. He changed to a strange face and rushed out quickly.

The fourth prince ordered, "Grab him."

Some fish guards rushed over and Xie Xi was relieved. He just needed to pull away from them and change his face.

Once he left behind the fourth prince, Xie Xi's heart was beating quickly and he was so tired that he gasped.

Neither the eldest prince or fourth prince were simple. He couldn't act recklessly.

After a while, Xie Xi finally calmed his breath and looked down at the countdown for Camouflage.

There were 21 days to go. He had to collect the love of the six princes and one million tons of rubbish in this time.

He had no clue about the eldest prince and the fourth prince was even more dangerous.

Xie Xi thought about it and decided to go see the second prince again. He would fill this progress bar first and take the rest slowly.

Xie Xi knew he should catch up on sleep but he wasn't sleepy. He sat there thinking about the matters regarding the eldest prince and fourth prince. However, he couldn't think of any clues. Did the eldest prince recognize him?

Why was the fourth prince pretending to be ill? Who was the person who tried to kill the sixth prince? At the moment, it didn't seem like 2, 3 and 5 would be cruel to their brothers. What about 1 and 4?

Xie Xi felt uncertain.

He thought about it until early morning. Then Xie Xi headed to the palace of the second prince. This time, he directly headed towards the study. As expected, the 'workaholic' second prince was sleeping in the study.

It was unknown if he was dreaming or not.

Xie Xi could only quietly go forward to try it.

[You have successfully used Dreaming and entered the dream of Aix-en Atlantis.]

Xie Xi sighed with relief and when he opened his eyes, he found that his location had changed.

Like the third prince, this dream was on land.

Xie Xi saw a gorgeously decorated living with crystal lights above him, a leather sofa that exuded an expensive l.u.s.ter, a clean marble staircase that was like a mirror…

Then there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Xie Xi jerked and saw that a beautiful tea set had been thrown to the ground. The porcelain was broken and tea scattered everywhere.

Then the furious voice of the third prince was heard. "Okay, divorce. We are getting divorced right now!"

Xie Xi was stunned.

Was he in the wrong dream? Why was the third prince in front of him?

Lost Atlantis 26

Xie Xi found that he and the third prince were the only ones in the room. Then the third prince was going to divorce him?

Here was the question. When did they get married?

They didn't have a wedding in the dream, let alone outside it. He had only made it to this stage with the fifth prince. How did he become a married man in the second prince's dream?

The second prince was unusual. The other princes wanted to marry Xie Xi, while this person dreamt of him marrying someone else.

This shouldn't be called the second child. He was clearly the third child!

Xie Xi was sure that he hadn't entered the wrong dream. Putting aside the panel prompts, the arrogant expression of the third prince was too exaggerated.

“You only know how to nag me all day long. What's wrong with buying a car? Why shouldn't I buy a plane? What about my bets? Did I spend your money?"

Xie Xi was speechless. The third prince was really reasonable. It wasn't Xie Xi's money being spent.

“You are still so small-minded after getting married. I can't teach you anything! Isn't it my family's money being spent? You can't spend all of it even if you have 10 hands and 10 lifetimes!"

Xie Xi tried to follow the logic of the dream. "I am doing it for your own good…"

His path was truly right. The third prince became even angrier. "You know nothing. It is too shameful! If you are really good to me, don't worry about spending money!"

Xie Xi thought in his heart, 'Second child, your heart knot isn't small. You scolded your brother so many times that the lines are smooth.

Xie Xi stayed silent but the third prince could still pick out the thorns. "If I knew you weer this stuffy, I would've been better off marrying a piece of wood instead of you!"

Xie Xi, "…" Don't find a piece of wood. Look for a mallet!

The third prince vented his anger and finally came back to the topic. "Divorce, we can't continue like this!"

Xie Xi didn't have a chance to think about leaving…

The next moment, the scene changed and he was sitting at a meeting table with the third prince. There was a lawyer as well as a divorce agreement in front of them.

Oh, it seemed that he could leave.

The third prince spoke viciously, "Aren't you thrifty. Since you don't want my stinking money, take your junk and get lost!"

The divorce agreement was simple and rough, with one line occupying the entire A4 sheet of paper: [All of Gars' premarital property.]

It might be a dream but this was too careless. As the second prince and minister of finance, shouldn't he write the divorce agreement more seriously?

The third prince three the pen at him. "Sign it!"

Xie Xi's lips twitched as he took the pen and signed his name.

The scene changed again. Xie Xi found himself standing miserably in the pouring rain.

Looking at this, he had successfully divorced the third prince? Well, he should say that he was kicked out of the house by the third prince?

In the eyes of the second prince, he and the third prince had such an ending?

Xie Xi really wanted to thank him. He hadn't talked about love and hadn't been married. He first experienced the taste of divorce.

These princes lacked understanding of the land. The underwater people couldn't understand the taste of land people standing in the rain.

The textbooks talked about how land people used umbrellas in the rain and the underwater people were confused.

"Why do they want to use umbrellas? Isn't being drenched in water the most enjoyable time?"

"I heard that it is for romance."

"It's romantic to use an umbrella on a rainy day?" "It is romantic, especially on rainy days. Men hold umbrellas for women and it is considered one of the most romantic things."

"The land people are so strange."

The land person Xie Xi felt that mermaids were even stranger!

The second prince's understanding of the land was much deeper than that of the third prince. This was obvious from the structure of the previous house. However, when it came to rainwater, he was still unable to understand.

Therefore, Xie Xi felt no discomfort standing in the rain. It was a refres.h.i.+ng feeling like standing in the forest in the early morning. It was true that for the sea people, the taste of rain on the land was indeed comfortable.

Xie Xi, the poor ghost who was kicked out of the house, wasn't too miserable. He felt comfortable like he was soaking in a hot spring.

At this time, the owner of the dream finally appeared. A pair of clean black shoes appeared in front of Xie Xi. He looked up and saw a silver-haired man holding an umbrella.

This hair colour was difficult for an ordinary person to handle but it complemented Aix-en perfectly. He was born elegant and n.o.ble. There was no sense of disagreement as he stood there in his suit, looking like he just emerged from a painting.

Xie Xi was slightly startled. Did this dream have a filter? Was the second prince so beautiful?

“How come you're here. Where's Third Brother?" Aix-en asked.

Xie Xi understood. It seemed they were still brothers in the dream!

The 'abandoned' Xie Xi said sadly, "We are divorced."

Aix-en was stunned and his voice filled with anger. "What happened? What mess is Gars making again?"

Xie Xi also wanted to know what the two brothers were up to!

Xie Xi was a lonely and pitiful person without needing to open his mouth. Aix-en frowned and told him "Don't stand in the rain, you might catch a cold. Get in the car with me first."

Xie Xi nodded "Thank you."

"Why are you so polite? We are a family…" Aix-en paused and couldn't continue after realizing that Xie Xi was divorced from Gars.

Xie Xi got on Aix-en's car and he handed over a towel. Xie Xi thanked him and wiped off the water.

Aix-en said, "I will take you to find him. I can't let him fool around like this."

Xie Xi shook his head. "I don't want to see him."

A flash of distress appeared in Aix-en's eyes. "You have only been married for a month. How did this happen?"

It turned out to only be a month… he was very harsh regarding his brother.

Xie Xi was opening his mouth when he felt his nose become itchy and he sneezed.

Aix-en immediately said, "Are you cold?"

Xie Xi rubbed his nose and said, "I'm okay."

“How can you be fine when it has been raining for so long?" Aix-en told him, "I'll take you home."

Xie Xi immediately said, "I won't go back. I have nothing to do with him anymore!"

"Okay, don't go back. I"ll take you to my place first so you can change your clothes."

Xie Xi hesitated. He wasn't sure if it was suitable for a newly divorced man to change clothes at the home of his ex-husband's brother.

Aix-en spoke again, "I remember that you are a foreigner and don't have any friends here."

Xie Xi understood that it was necessary to go and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Aix-en sighed and said, "It's okay. Even if you are divorced, you can still call me Brother."

Xie Xi's mouth curved and he couldn't speak.

Your brother! Which brother's dream was so irregular!

Aix-en took him home. The second prince's stinginess was embedded deep in his bones and refused to let Xie Xi go. The apartment he lived in wasn't small. It was more than 200 ping and the decorations were also good. (Ping= unit of measurement. 200 ping = approximately 661 square metres)

Aix-en told him, "Come in, the house is warm."

Xie Xi walked in. His feet were wet so he didn't step on the white carpet.

He made such a casual move and Xie Xi saw the purple progress bar in the lower right corner flas.h.i.+ng.

Who would think that the most handsome and suave second prince would be so stingy!

Aix-en said, "Don't pay attention to this. Go and take a shower in the bathroom first. I will get you some clothes."

If Xie Xi hadn't paid attention to the progress then he wouldn't have realized. This was truly a duplicitous man.

Xie Xi now felt that his body was uncomfortable and said, "Thank you." Then he went to the bathroom.

Xie Xi thought about it while having a shower. Was this style right? Let's change the gender. A divorced man was picked up by his ex-wife's sister and was taking a shower in the house of his ex-wife's sister? Well… Xie Xi muttered, "X is a really big pervert."

Old Jiang's knee was shot by an arrow.

Xie Xi was much more comfortable after the shower. Then he heard Aix-en's voice from outside. "I hung the clothes on the door. It might be a bit big but you can wear it first."

Xie Xi whispered his thanks and opened the door to get the clothes.

Aix-en avoided suspicion by heading to the kitchen. Xie Xi was surprised as he took the clothes into the bathroom and started to dress.

It was a simple set of pants and a s.h.i.+rt but the size was too large… Xie Xi didn't feel that he was much shorter than the souls but in these princes' dreams, he was inexplicably small.

He was clearly 180cm. How did he become 170 cm in their eyes? Couldn't they give him back 10cm?

Aix-en was at least 190cm tall. How could his clothing not be big on the Xie Xi who shrank to 170cm? This was the s.h.i.+rt. Then what about the pants? Couldn't the pant leg take both his arm and waist? Wasn't there a belt?

Xie Xi had no choice and had to go out like this.

Aix-en brought him a cup of hot milk. "Sorry, I don't have any new clothes. I've worn them but they are washed…"

He froze before he could finish talking.

Xie Xi looked up at him helplessly. "Do you have a belt?"

Aix-en's eyes widened and he quickly put down the milk. "I'll look for it."

"I am troubling you." He didn't think too much. He just found it funny that he was dressed like this and Aix-en probably thought it was a joke.

Aix-en soon came back with a brown leather belt.

Xie Xi took it and tried to tie the belt. Unfortunately, these pants really weren't right. Xie Xi's s.h.i.+rt was too long and it was hard to tuck it into the pants. The pants kept slipping down, making him unable to put on the belt.

Xie Xi had some doubts about himself. Was he so stupid that he couldn't even wear his clothes?

Or perhaps…

Xie Xi finally understood. Was it Aix-en who didn't want him to wear clothes?

'Sister', you took your divorced brother-in-law home and you even don't want him to be dressed. These thoughts were very dangerous.

Xie Xi thought about it and asked simply, "Can you lend me a hand?"

Aix-en's heart jumped.

Xie Xi looked at him helplessly. "How can I not do it?"

Aix-en gulped and his voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e. "I will help you."

He moved closer to Xie Xi, his slender fingers trembling slightly before his calm was restored. He carefully pa.s.sed the belt through the straps, fixing it and tightening it. Then the thin waist was highlighted, causing Aix-en's pupils to shrink.

Xie Xi said, "Thank you."

Aix-en's spirit recovered and he tried to help Xie Xi lock the belt, only to find…

Xie Xi was stunned. "The belt is too big." The belt was obviously Aix-en's and his waistline was quite different from Xie Xi. There weren't enough holes in the belt.

What should he do? It was too hard to lock and the belt couldn't be used.

Aix-en's next words were, "The house is very hot. Or…"

Xie Xi wondered, 'Does he want me to just wear a s.h.i.+rt?' Fortunately, Aix-en still wanted to live. "…Let me buy you clothes."
