Lost Atlantis 33

In the past few days of Colin's 'vacation', the second prince and third prince sent him messages.

Second prince: [Little Colin, what's the trouble at home? Just look for me if you need me."

Third prince: [Once things are finished, don't act lazy at home.]

This translated to: come back quickly!

Xie Xi's unified reply: [Thank you for the second (third) prince's care. It is nothing urgent and I will return as soon as possible.] It was followed by a smiling expression.

The second and third child's hearts thumped. If they weren't busy then they would've rushed over to find Colin.

Xie Xi spent a few days with the fourth prince. His initial impression of the fourth prince had completely disappeared.

Some aspects of the fourth prince were similar to the sixth prince. They liked one person and did things their own way. Some places were similar to the fifth prince in that they felt enthusiasm about being close to people. If Xie Xi thought about it, the fourth prince was also similar to the second prince. His love for the people underwater was no less than the second prince. Meanwhile, the sensitivity to danger was no worse than the third prince…

Each of the six brothers had their own characteristics while being similar to each other.

Well, they were parts of one person's soul after all. It was normal for them to be similar.

Xie Xi's side mission was finally completed after several ups and downs.

Collecting garbage was much more stable than collecting love. Once he reached the full one million tons, pouring it out didn't reduce the progress. It just stayed completed.

After a few days of running around with the fourth prince, the fourth prince told him, "You should stop using your ability for the time being."

They had traveled all over the land that bordered the sea, returning all the garbage.

This occurred all over the world, causing turmoil among land-based society.

The people arranged by the fourth prince started to mobilize public opinion, condemning the damage caused to the sea and criticizing humanity's self-destructive behaviour.

The land people knew about the underwater people but had very little contact with each other. Many people were suspicious.

Now that the garbage dumps were returned, the land people realized that their neighbours under the sea were angry. The garbage piles appeared so quickly and abruptly that they felt the mysterious power of the sea.

Xie Xi didn't come up with these ideas. There were professionals at politics under the sea and they knew how to seize this opportunity to deter people.

Xie Xi saw that his 'vacation' was coming to an end and it was time to leave the fourth prince.

The progress with the fourth prince was also great. In the past few days, it had risen to 16.6% and was almost full.

However, Xie Xi had previous experience and didn't dare be neglectful. He made sure to get along very well with the prince.

They returned to the palace and the fourth prince reminded him, "You must not pick up garbage in my absence, do you understand?"

Xie Xi had heard this many times but he knew that the fourth prince was worried about his safety and nodded. "Yes, I will obey Your Highness' order."

The fourth prince smiled. "Sit down, I will give you medicine."

He no longer put garbage on the land but Xie Xi still insisted on cleaning up the heavily polluted areas. In any case, the garbage could be stacked up and his items bar was empty. He simply did it to benefit the sea.

He hoped that the lovely little mermaids could swim happily in the water instead of being covered with scars.

The fourth prince also accompanied him and gave him a special set of clothes. Unfortunately, Xie Xi needed to stretch out his hand to collect the garbage and his left hand was still injured.

The fourth prince carefully gave him medicine and after a while, Xie Xi felt powerless.

The fourth prince said, "Go and get some sleep."

Xie Xi couldn't see him anymore and replied in a dazed manner, "Okay."

The fourth prince held his hand as usual and took him into a room. This time, he actually hugged Xie Xi.

Xie Xi's eyes slightly widened in a surprised manner.

The fourth prince stared straight ahead but his Adam's Apple moved up and down. He ordered, "Go to sleep."

It was a few steps from the outside to inside the room. The prince didn't wait for Xie Xi to struggle and directly placed him down.

Forget it, Xie Xi was too lazy to care.

Xie Xi slept for a while and once he woke up, his hand had recovered to his original condition. There were no scars at all.

Then he heard a conversation outside.

Roast Pork Bun was also sleeping. Once Xie Xi woke up, the kitten yawned and went outside to look. "It is the eldest prince!"

Xie Xi's ears p.r.i.c.ked up and he moved over curiously, wondering if he should go out or not.

The black progress of 8% made Xie Xi feel very concerned. This must be from the eldest prince but they had barely spoken. How did it suddenly rise so much?

The more he didn't understand, the more curious he became. Xie Xi leaned forward.

He took a step and heard the eldest prince ask, "How did you do that with the garbage?"

The fourth prince said, "You shouldn't ask. Just use this event to let the land people think about their behaviour."

The eldest prince paused and unexpectedly didn't ask again.

The two of them were silent for a moment and Xie Xi almost thought that the eldest prince had left. He didn't expect the prince to suddenly say, "The attack on Sixth Brother, were you the one who arranged it?"

Xie Xi was startled. He p.r.i.c.ked his ears further and wanted to know who had done it.

In fact, Xie Xi had previously doubted the fourth prince. He did have enough motivation.

The fourth prince witnessed the suffering of many people and hated the land people. Unfortunately, the underwater people always had a conservative att.i.tude towards war and wasn't willing to start it.

If the sacrifice of a useless prince could be exchanged for peace and prosperity under the sea, the fierce militant faction wouldn't hesitate.

However, after accompanying each other for a few days, Xie Xi knew that the fourth prince wouldn't do such a thing. He didn't need something to set off the fire. If he hadn't been worried that a war would bring more disaster, he would've already fought with the land people.

The fourth prince smiled and replied, "I want the land people to die but I don't want my brother to die."

The eldest prince didn't say anything.

The fourth prince wondered, "Fifth Brother isn't right these days. You…" He hadn't finished when he changed his words, "What's the matter?"

Xie Xi was curious and wanted to know what was going on outside.

Roast Pork Bun relayed it in real time, "The eldest prince turned pale and nearly fainted."

Xie Xi, "?"

What happened to the eldest prince?

The fourth prince held onto the eldest prince and frowned. "You should pay attention to your body? How many days has it been since you've slept? The government affairs are never-ending. If you continue like this, you won't be able to last." The eldest prince replied in a slightly hoa.r.s.e voice, "Recently my sleep hasn't been very good."

"You only sleep for four or five hours a day. This is too little."

“No, I'm used to it.” The eldest prince continued, "I've just been dreaming lately."

The fourth prince didn't think too much. "Proper rest is necessary."

The eldest prince was about to answer when his eyes suddenly narrowed. "Who's there?"

Xie Xi deliberately came out. His eyes were dazed and he looked slightly confused, as if he had just woken up.

The eldest prince glanced at him and froze.

Xie Xi also saw him and immediately bowed. "I have seen Your Highness."

The fourth prince walked over to him and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"Your Highness, I'm fine to go back."

Xie Xi didn't know if it was his illusion but he always felt that the fourth prince was deliberately separating him from the eldest prince's line of sight.

The eldest prince quickly recovered and pressed a hand to his temple. "You are busy. I'm going back."

The fourth prince kept standing in front of Xie Xi. "Big Brother should pay attention to your body and have a good rest."

Xie Xi became certain that the fourth prince was deliberately separating him from the eldest prince.

This way, he couldn't even politely say goodbye.

The eldest prince nodded and seemed to look at Xie Xi again. In the end, he didn't say anything and turned away.

Xie Xi wondered nervously, "I suddenly came out. Was I too rude?"

"No." The fourth prince took his hand and looked at it closely. He confirmed there were no scars and glanced up at Xie Xi. "Still, you should stay far away from the first prince."

Xie Xi felt doubts in his heart but he didn't show it on his face. "I am a small guard. I won't have any intersection with the eldest prince."

The fourth prince stared at him, still not rea.s.sured. "You must never let Big Brother know what you are capable of."

"This is a secret between me and Your Highness. I will never tell anyone."

The fourth prince nodded and explained, "Big Brother has some psychological problems. His natural emotions are missing and he is always indifferent and strict. He only considers the pros and cons of doing anything and won't consider emotions. If you let him know your ability, you will become a bargaining chip in his hands."

Xie Xi froze. "He lacks emotions?"

"Yes, he didn't know any emotions, including love towards family or friends.h.i.+p."

Xie Xi blinked, his heart full of doubts.

If there was an emotional disorder, where did this 8% progress come from?

The fourth prince saw his thoughts wandering and told him, "Don't be curious." Xie Xi's spirit returned and he hurriedly nodded. "I'm not curious!"

The fourth prince smiled. "You should pay attention to safety first, understood?"

Xie Xi was very moved. "Yes!"

The fourth prince looked at him and stop talking for a moment.

Xie Xi sensed it and asked, "Your Highness, do you have something else?"

The fourth prince paused before suddenly saying, "I don't want to inherit the throne."

Xie Xi was even more confused. He didn't understand the direction of this topic.

The fourth prince looked down and his voice was softer,' My mother doesn't care about me so…"

Xie Xi's eyes narrowed. "So?"

Unexpectedly, the fourth prince stopped again and smiled, looking extremely gentle. "It's nothing." Let's wait. In short, he would protect this person in the most proper way.

Xie Xi was puzzled but didn't think too much.

He might have a big brain but there was no way for him to think a person he only knew for a week would want to marry him!

Xie Xi left the fourth prince and headed towards the eldest prince's palace, unlike his words.

How could he not be close? He must be close! The task progress was almost full so how could he not go to the eldest prince? As long as he took care of this, maybe he could leave this world!

Xie Xi changed to a reserve face and entered without much trouble.

The eldest prince was still in the study and there was a personal fish man reporting to him.

The eldest prince was really dedicated. His eyes clearly had dark circles but he was still strong. It was admirable that his words were clear and didn't contain the slightest hint of sleepiness despite how tired he must be at this point.

Xie Xi secretly watched him using the servant's ident.i.ty.

The eldest prince was born with a lack of emotions? Xie Xi couldn't tell just by looking. At most, he felt that this person was calm and decisive.

The black progress bar must be him. In the end, why did it suddenly rise to 8%?

Xie Xi thought about what the eldest prince had said to the fourth prince—he had been dreaming recently.

Was this the key point? What did he dream about?

Xie Xi felt uncertain.

The old merman finally left and the eldest prince pinched between his eyes. He finally showed some sleepiness.

Xie Xi watched as the eldest prince fell asleep at the desk. Was he really asleep?

Xie Xi carefully blinked at Roast Pork Bun and the kitten flew out, circling the eldest prince several times before coming back. "His breathing is even. He really is asleep!"

Xie Xi waited a bit longer before coming out. His steps were very light because he was afraid to wake up the eldest prince. However, the eldest prince was in a deep sleep and didn't show any signs of waking.

Xie Xi wasn't sure if Dreaming would succeed this time. After all, it was just a nap. Would the prince dream? Would he dream of Xie Xi?

Still, the opportunity was in front of him and he had to try it. Xie Xi activated Dreaming.

[You have successfully used Dreaming and entered the dream of Randy Atlantis.]

Xie Xi's eyes lit up. He succeeded! The eldest prince was really dreaming about him. It seemed that he would have to go into the dream to figure out the mystery behind this 8% progress.

Xie Xi opened his eyes again and was stunned. This was…

The dim sky, the gloomy castle and the strong b.l.o.o.d.y scent that lingered in the air.

A man's low voice was heard. "Young Master, it's time for dinner."

Xie Xi look up and saw the housekeeper Randy's dull eyes and morbid smile.

He was shocked. What was going on? This was the housekeeper Randy of the Love to the Left or Right world!

He refused to admit he was mistaken. This was the junk game where he died many times and in the end, he couldn't die when he wanted to. He would never forget it in his life.

Roast Pork Bun's curious voice entered Xie Xi's mind. "Daddy has become smaller and your clothes are so beautiful."

He was the slender young man dressed in fancy clothing of Love to the Left or Right.

Xie Xi's spirit returned. This was a dream and it was the dream of the eldest prince.

Then why was the eldest prince's dream like this? Was it really the same soul? The eldest prince had the memories of the housekeeper Randy?

Xie Xi thought about the ending of that world and his scalp became numb.

It was over! Was he going to die in the dream?

Lost Atlantis 34

In the World of Love to the Left or Right, Xie Xi did a great job. His ident.i.ty was torn in front of everyone and he pretended to be the demon summoned by Sein. Finally, he was killed by the three perverts and completed the task.

He thought he would never experience anything related to that world again. He never imagined that the eldest prince's dream would turn out to be the memory of his past life!

What should he do? How much did Randy remember?

If it was because the breaking up then this dream would be fine. He could coax Randy's heart and soul and probably collect all the souls. However, if it was after the breakup…

He clearly remembered the words he said to the housekeeper Randy.

'You are just a servant, what qualifications do you have to get my love!'

'A monster who isn't a ghost and a servant of low status, how can I love you?' He was eager to die and really said many things!

Xie Xi was terrified and could only hope that the eldest prince didn't think too much. At the very least, don't think of the 'shocking revelation!'

Randy smiled gently but his face was too pale and there was no s.h.i.+ne in his eyes. The colour of his mouth was charming as he whispered softly, "Young Master, it isn't good not to eat."

Xie Xi wanted to respond but found he couldn't open his mouth or speak. He tried to move his body and found that it was stiff. He couldn't move at all.

What was this situation now?

"Young Master should be obedient." Randy bent over and kissed him on the forehead. "I'll take you to dinner." As he spoke, he reached out and carefully picked Xie Xi up.

Xie Xi couldn't even move his eyes and could only be at Randy's mercy.

Randy held him carefully, as if he was holding a fragile porcelain doll that would break with a bit of force.

Xie Xi could feel his care but also felt an indescribable horror. It was as if he really was a porcelain doll at this moment…

Randy carried him to the dining room. The decorations in the old castle were still gorgeous but the light was very dark. The swaying candlelight made everything seem unreal and as if ghosts could pop out at any time.

Xie Xi never expected that he would one day be scared by the dream of another person.

He wasn't afraid of ghosts. He was just afraid of this scene and the man who killed him many times.

Randy placed him on the high backed chair, carefully arranged the napkin for him and gently raised his arm, placing it next to the knife and fork. Unfortunately, Xie Xi couldn't move his arm to hold the knife and fork.

Randy said, "Master, wait a minute. I will go and serve you."

Randy did everything by himself. It seemed that he was the only one in this castle.

Xie Xi didn't want to wait but he had to wait. He couldn't move at all!

After a short time, Randy came back. He was holding a silver tray covered by a semicircular lid. It looked quite normal.

Xie Xi felt some doubts in his heart. He couldn't even talk. Could he eat?

Randy put down the tray and whispered, "I kept you waiting."

Xie Xi couldn't speak or move, he could only listen silently.

Randy didn't want his response either. He had a gentle smile on his handsome face as he opened the lid with his white-gloved hand.

It was right in front of Xie Xi's fixed gaze and he saw the plate instantly.

Roast Pork Bun covered his little nose and cried out, "Wow, what is this? Internal organs?"

Xie Xi, "…"

It was really internal organs. It was b.l.o.o.d.y internal organs!"

Randy kept smiling despite taking out this dark dish and he whispered, "I will serve Young Master."

Xie Xi, "!" Who wanted to eat this?!

Randy's eyes dropped and looked extremely gentle. "Young Master will eat this first and tomorrow I'll get you a human heart."

Xie Xi, "!!" Who, who wanted to eat a human heart?!

Roast Pork Bun was frightened as he clung to Xie Xi's neck. "Daddy, the eldest prince is terrible."

Xie Xi was also terrified. This might be a dream but he didn't want to experience the taste of a heart!

Randy was a well-trained housekeeper. His every move was elegant and neat. Despite cutting the b.l.o.o.d.y internal organs, he still maintained his perfect movements and decent smile. People couldn't help thinking that this was a top steak…

What d.a.m.n steak, it was internal organs!

Randy forked a b.l.o.o.d.y piece and raised it to Xie Xi's mouth.

Xie Xi, "…" He wouldn't eat even if he was killed!

Randy's voice was full of pampering. "Young Master, it isn't good if you don't eat."

It really wasn't good to not eat but who was going to eat this d.a.m.n thing?

Randy was full of helplessness. "You don't like animals? That isn't good. I didn't prepare any human hearts in advance."

Xie Xi was powerless and inwardly thought, 'Don't use the tone of coaxing a child to say such words!'

Randy gently coaxed him. "You should eat first. If you don't eat then you will feel uncomfortable at night." Then he sent that b.l.o.o.d.y thing towards Xie Xi's mouth. Xie Xi didn't know where the strength came from but he managed to move!

He pushed the fork away, speaking in a dry voice, "No…"

Randy was stunned. The fork in his hand fell and the raw meat stuck to the gorgeous carpet in a shocking manner.

Xie Xi didn't know if he was doing the right thing but he would rather leave this d.a.m.n dream than eat b.l.o.o.d.y organs!

Due to this resistance, he finally seemed able to control his body. He moved and looked up at Randy.

Randy's dark eyes flashed, like stars appearing in the dark sky. His voice contained an unbearable excitement. "Young Master…"

Xie Xi's eyes moved and he spoke in a slightly stiff manner, "Ran, Randy."

Randy hugged him, cold lips falling on his neck in an almost mad manner. "You finally woke up. You finally… you're finally back."

Xie Xi was stunned and could only pa.s.sively be held.

Randy had always been calm and steady. There were few times when he lost his temper but now he was completely out of control. He held Xie Xi extremely hard, as if Xie Xi would fly away if he was released. It was as if this was a beautiful dream and he would wake up to despair at any time.

Xie Xi's heart was tense as he thought about what the eldest prince remembered, including the last words he said.

Then this dream was a continuation of the quasi-world? Was this what happened after he left the world?

He left and Sein Hall must've definitely died. The housekeeper Randy didn't give up and kept trying to resurrect him?

Xie Xi couldn't speak before because his body itself was a corpse? His back was covered with cold sweat at the thought. Sure enough, Randy was a psychopath. Normal people couldn't do such a thing!

Xie Xi thought about it and finally got a clue. He followed the rhythm of the dream and said, "Randy, what happened to you?"

As he spoke, he felt cold liquid dripping onto his neck. Randy was crying.

Xie Xi couldn't see it but he felt a bit sad. If Randy still remained after Xie Xi left the world, he couldn't imagine how much pain and despair Randy had felt as he held his dead love.

The certain thing was that it was impossible for Sein to survive. Randy carefully took care of a corpse. How bleak and lonely would it be to spend all day in this castle that was a tomb?

"What is going on…" Xie Xi made a dazed expression and asked softly, "What happened?"

Perhaps this was Randy's heart knot. The experience of the last world was mapped onto this world, making him suffer from a lack of emotions.

The appearance of Xie Xi triggered his sporadic memories in the form of dreams haunting him.

Was it possible to collect all of Randy's love as long as this knot from the last world was released?

Butler Randy was unquestionably in love with Sein Hall. However, the eldest prince repelled this memory. Was it okay to have him accept it?

How could he accept it? It must not be a tragedy and should have a successful outcome.

Xie Xi was still slightly perturbed. The last world contained more than Randy. The second prince and third prince were also there. Did they also have memories of the previous life?

What happened to Aix-en and Gars after the ending? The housekeeper Randy was so miserable that the two of them must be no better.

Xie Xi didn't know and in fact, Jiang Xie didn't know either. He would only know once the soul returned to his body.

Now it was the eldest prince's dream. Xie Xi didn't want to worry about those two and would finish this dream first.

Randy's body stiffened at his question and he calmed down. He released Sein. His face was still pale and his eyes dark, but he was no longer as lifeless as before.

He whispered, "It's nothing. You have come back and I won't let you suffer any more harm."

Randy didn't want to say anything else and Xie Xi didn't dare stimulate him. He only nodded with a tired appearance.

He didn't want to eat these internal organs and it was better to go to sleep.

Randy instantly felt his exhaustion and asked, "Is there any discomfort?" Xie Xi replied, "I'm somewhat tired. I want to go back to my room to rest."

"I'll carry you back."

Xie Xi hurriedly said, "I can do it myself."

He stood up as he spoke, only to find that his legs were stiff. It was hard to take a step.

Randy's eyes were pale as he whispered, "You just woke up and haven't adapted. I'll carry you back."

Xie Xi really couldn't control this body and he nodded in reply.

Randy picked him up and sent him back to the bedroom.

Xie Xi couldn't sleep right away and thought it was due to the glaring candlelight. "Put out the light."

Randy was startled but he put out the candle without saying anything. The room instantly became covered with darkness.

Xie Xi didn't want to sleep but he had to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep.

Randy stayed for a while before getting up and leaving.

Xie Xi didn't feel sleepy at all as dawn arrived. His body was still stiff and he couldn't bend his knees while walking. How strange did he look?

Randy opened the door and saw him. "Young Master must be hungry. Let's go eat breakfast first."

Xie Xi really did feel hungry. Last night's internal organs made him lose his appet.i.te but today should be normal food.

Randy took Xie Xi to the dining room again, put him down and went to prepare the food.

The plate was uncovered and the steaming roast lamb chops made his fingers move!

He was very relieved at finally being able to eat a normal meal. Xie Xi's fingers moved to hold the knife and fork but he couldn't grab them.

Randy's eyes flashed and he whispered, "I'll help you."

Xie Xi waited and saw him cut a small piece. He was handing it over when…

Roast Pork Bun yelled "Daddy, that is a human heart. It is still steaming!"

Xie Xi, "???"

He looked closer.

Where was the roast lamb chop? It was a heart that was bright and b.l.o.o.d.y, as if it had just been taken. It also gave off a strange heat…

What was going on? He had clearly just seen normal food. It was delicious lamp chops so how did it suddenly become a heart?

Roast Pork Bun cried, "Boo hoo, so terrible…" He shrank back into Xie Xi's arms.

Xie Xi couldn't take it anymore. The thing that made him feel incredulous was that he actually thought this heart was roast lamb chops. The fragrance was still floating through the air, making his fingers twitch.

He patted the little kitten quietly. It was fortunate that the kitten yelled and let him recognize that the roast lamb chops were actually a heart.

Why was this happening?

Should he eat this in Randy's dream? Xie Xi looked up and accidentally caught a flash of hostility in Randy's eyes.

Xie Xi reacted to this! Yes… Sein Hall of the last world used magic and pretended to be the summoned demon.

Then Randy was currently trying to test him?
