Hey guys,

Sorry, I live a few hours away from my family for work. Today I drove back to visit them for a few days and forgot my laptop charger. Expect a few days of no chapters before there is a mini ma.s.s release thus/fri depending on how tired I am from the drive.

Lost Atlantis 35

Xie Xi boldly guessed that the heart must be for the demon to eat.

How could normal people eat this stuff?

It wasn't clear how Randy resurrected him but it was obvious that he was afraid that he resurrected a fake Sein demon. Thus, he was testing XIe Xi.

Then here was the question. Xie Xi was sure that he wasn't a human so why did he think of the heart as tasty lamp chops? Moreover, he was becoming hungrier and the impulse to eat was increasing.

If it wasn't for Roast Pork Bun, he would've taken this heart as roast lamp chops and eaten with relish.

Then he would be killed by Randy in the dream and the progress mission reset to 0%. There also might not be another chance to use Dreaming!

As for why he saw the heart as roast lamp chops, it must be because this was Randy's dream. Everything that happened in the dream was driven by his will.

Randy felt that the person he resurrected was a demon, not Sein. Thus, he thought that Xie Xi wanted to eat this heart. Under his strong will, Xie Xi originally didn't want to eat and saw this heart as a roast lamb.

Xie Xi felt this was too unfair. He was being wronged!

From another point of view, this meant that 'past life' Randy did resurrect a demon. Otherwise, the memories wouldn't be so entrenched.

When he thought about it, he felt that this d.a.m.n pervert was really pitiful.

Xie Xi's mood was quite complicated and he could only scold the stupid X to resolve it.

Faced with the sometimes fragrant and sometimes blood thing, Xie Xi held back and frowned. "Why are you giving me this?"

Randy was slightly startled and his voice trembled. "Don't you like it?"

Forget liking, who wanted to eat a heart?

He just thought this when it became roast lamp chops. It was roasted just enough, the outside was crisp and tender and the aroma was delicious. He was so hungry…

He pinched Roast Pork Bun and the kitten called out. Xie Xi instantly calmed down and replied, "Isn't this a human heart? How can I eat this?"

Randy's pupils shrank and an unbelievable ecstasy entered the depths. "It is my bad. I was confused and actually took out this type of thing for you to eat. I with take it back and make your favourite roast lamp chops."

Xie Xi, "…" He was so nauseous that he couldn't eat lamb chops!

Randy took the hot heart and quickly returned. He smiled and his eyes were no longer so cold. "Young Master has been waiting."

He opened the lid…

Xie Xi was silent.

How was it still a heart? A completely red, still beating heart! Xie Xi had never seen a human heart but he had seen a pig heart. He heard that they were similar so… this was truly a human heart!

What was going on? Did he show something? Was Randy still testing him? It came out twice!

Randy told him, "Eat, you must be hungry."

'I will eat your big head, you d.a.m.n demon.' Xie Xi looked at this bright heart and almost vomited.

Roast Pork Bun sniffed it and exclaimed, "Good smell. Is this roast lamb chops?"

Xie Xi, "???"

Roast Pork Bun was greedy. "Can a cat eat sheep? It looks so delicious."

Thanks to Roast Pork Bun, Xie Xi looked at the plate again and the b.l.o.o.d.y heart had become roast lamb chops.

This…

He didn't move and Randy's voice lowered again. "Young Master?"

Xie Xi heard the suspicion in his tone.

If he didn't eat again, he would be misunderstood! However, he couldn't move his hand. As long as Roast Pork Bun didn't make a sound, he would see the lamb chops as a heart that gave off a pungent smell. It was too disgusting. He couldn't eat it even if he knew that it was really roast lamb chops!

Sure enough, he was a demon in Randy's heart.

Since Randy was so certain, what was with the test? Just kill him!

Xie Xi couldn't understand this type of mood. If it wasn't the verge of despair, who would grab such a broken thing?

The joy that welled up in Randy's eyes faded again. "Don't you want to eat it?"

Xie Xi knew that if he ate the lamb chop that looked like a raw heart, he would dispel most of Randy's suspicions.

But… he couldn't do it!

He would definitely spit it out if he took a bite of it!

This type of physical resistance wasn't something that could be changed through willpower.

Randy's lips curved, revealing a crazy smile. "You really wanted to eat the thing just now…"

"Maybe the smell from the heart just now was too heavy. I don't want to eat this greasy thing. Randy…" Xie Xi looked up with Sein's customary dependent expression. "I want to eat snacks and drink black tea. Is it okay?"

Xie Xi remembered that n.o.bles shouldn't have snacks for his meals but Sein was often a picky eater. Thus, Randy would sometimes 'spoil' him.

Xie Xi might have goose b.u.mps at the words but fortunately it worked.

Randy's atmosphere calmed down a bit and he said, "Okay, I will prepare it."

Snacks, snacks…

This type of non-meat food should be better!

Xie Xi gambled correctly as Randy brought hot tea and exquisite snacks.

There was no demon in the snacks. They were actual snacks. Xie Xi was cautious this time and poked the kitten. Roast Pork Bun was still missing the lamp chops and turned around, "I hate chocolate the most. It isn't delicious."

Xie Xi sighed with relief, knowing that he wasn't mistaken.

He was really hungry and in order to make Randy feel at ease, he ate a piece of chocolate cake.

This thing that should be sweet in Xie Xi's mouth was like eating dirt…

Xie Xi, "…" Originally a demon's taste was like a cat. He couldn't taste the sweetness!

Randy asked him, "How does it taste?"

Fortunately, Xie Xi was a human. He might not be able to taste the chocolate but he remembered it. "It's delicious." He made a contented appearance.

Randy looked at him and said, "Slow down, don't worry."

Xie Xi wasn't in a hurry. Who would be anxious to 'eat soil'?

Then he considered eating internal organs and the soil instantly became very delicious.

Xie Xi made a look of happiness.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xie harvested a number of -1 that were as red as the heart.

Xie Xi was relieved after finally pa.s.sing the test of eating.

Randy asked him, "I've prepared water. You should take a bath."

Xie Xi was unsure if there were any traps ahead but… the time skip meant it was time for a bath before getting ready for bed.

A bath!

Xie Xi thought, 'I should be careful and see if there are any tricks.'

Randy bent over and picked him up. Xie Xi didn't want to make a fuss and let himself be held.

He was very desperate to fill up the progress!

Once they arrived at the bathroom, Randy put him down and unb.u.t.toned him.

Xie Xi responded naturally. After all, he had experience from the first world and there was nothing to panic about.

His clothes were taken off and Xie Xi was just about to enter the bath…

Roast Pork Bun jumped into the water first. He was a kitten who was very fond of bathing. He had just jumped in when he shouted, "Ice, how is this water so cold?!"

Xie Xi, "…" Sure enough, there was a trap.

Xie Xi quietly put one leg in to test it.

The water temperature wasn't cold for him. It was very comfortable, like taking a bath on a hot summer's day.

"Hey.." Xie Xi took a fake breath and frowned. "Why is the water so cold?"

Randy's black eyes were slightly cold as he asked, "The water temperature isn't suitable?"

It was suitable, very suitable! If it wasn't for Roast Pork Bun then his head would've probably been removed!

Xie Xi showed the biggest acting of his life. "It's cold. Randy, didn't you say that you prepared the water? Why is it so cold?" There was some blame in the words.

Randy wasn't angry at his tone. His face filled with joy as he hurriedly said, "Wait a moment, I will immediately heat the water!"

Xie Xi wrapped a piece of cloth around his waist. He wasn't cold but he knew to take the initiative to wrap himself up and make himself look cold.

Randy was remorseful. He blamed himself as he quickly changed to hot water.

Hot steam rose from the bath as Roast Pork Bun jumped in and swam happily. "Daddy, come in. It is now comfortable!"

Xie Xi put on foot in and instantly felt a shock.

Randy asked him, "Is the temperature right?"

Xie Xi looked at the kitten swimming around and gritted his teeth. "It is suitable."

d.a.m.n, it was too hot!

Randy was relived. "Go in. Be careful not to get a cold."

Xie Xi slowing entered the tub while holding onto the determination that 'a dead pig doesn't fear scalding water.'

The body temperature of a demon was very low. Warm water for normal people was very hot for them. Xie Xi had to grit his teeth and also make a comfortable appearance. It was really…

Xi, get lost! Whip your body!

Xie Xi was furious. He was a living human. Why did he have to suffer as a demon?

Roast Pork Bun was doing a backstroke. "It is comfortable, so comfortable. A hot bath is the most comfortable thing."

Xie Xi, "…" It was too hot that he wanted to jump out QAQ!

He didn't know how long he held on when he saw the black progress bar slightly rising. His eyes lit up and he felt the water temperature becoming normal. Had he finally pa.s.sed the test?

Randy no longer doubted that he was a demon? Randy finally believed he was human?

Could he finally be a human?

Hey, he was a human!

Randy's doubts were released and Xie Xi was no longer so stiff. He took a bath and felt refreshed.

Randy dressed him in pyjamas and Xie Xi finally took the initiative. "Randy…"

"Um?" Randy gently fastened his b.u.t.tons. "Young Master, what do you have to tell me?"

Xie Xi looked down. "Was I wrong?"

Randy's hand paused. "How could Young Master be wrong?"

Xie Xi replied softly, "I took advantage of so many people in order to get revenge, no matter the cost. I even summoned a demon…"

Randy's head jerked and he stared at Xie Xi with dark eyes.

Xie Xi was sad. "I have lost a lot and have almost nothing left. However, I still have you. Randy… sometimes I think that it would be good with just the two of us. I just want to be with you and not manage anything…"

He stopped, not because he finished talking but because of a prompt that appeared in the lower right corner.

[The dream is coming to an end. Please feel free to leave.]

The countdown was three seconds.

Xie Xi didn't dare talk nonsense and hurriedly left the dream to return to reality.

What was going on? This was the end of the dream? Had his words woken Randy?

Xie Xi quickly changed to a reserve face and found a place to hide.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Xie Xi sighed with relief while the eldest prince woke up.

He felt a bit sorry. It wasn't a good time to wake up from the dream. He had just received Randy's trust and was going to fill the progress. How did he wake up?

He could only use Dreaming in three days and…

Xie Xi was stunned.

In the lower right corner, the black progress bar that was originally at 9% unexpectedly became full, turning into a green 16.66…%.

It was full? He just said those words and it was full?

Wasn't this too simple?

Xie Xi thought about it and vaguely understood.

Randy had been waiting too long, struggling for too long in that abyss of despair.

He didn't ask for much. As long as there was a bit of warmth and hope, he would pay everything.

A bitter taste spread in Xie Xi's mouth. At this time, a voice recalled Xie Xi's mind.

A merman with a secretary-like appearance swam in. He saluted and hurriedly reported to the eldest prince, "Your Highness! The sixth prince is great and repelled the Haiqiu people to the abyss of the sea!"

The eldest prince had just woken up and he said, "Great! There is another fierce warrior in our underwater kingdom."

The secretary continued, "The sixth prince has captured the state teacher of the Haiqiu Kingdom. Haiqiu suffered such a big loss that they shouldn't launch another attack for a long time!"

The eldest prince frowned. "Haiqiu's state teacher?"

The secretary lowered his voice. "His Highness seems to want to use the power of this state teacher to resurrect a person."

Xie Xi, "!"

Lost Atlantis 36

The sixth prince was too efficient! It had only been a few days? He repelled the invading Haiqiu Kingdom and also caught the state teacher?

Haiqiu, what was going on with you guys? Weren't you supposed to be fierce and brutal?

Don't be easily beaten back to the abyss by the prince!

Xie Xi was full of curses and really wanted to beat up the Haiqiu state teacher. Couldn't he protect himself better? Why was he so easily caught?

Xie Xi was furious!

The eldest prince raised an eyebrow and asked, "Resurrect a person?"

The secretary reported, "I heard that it was a guard of the royal family. Previously when the sixth prince was attacked, the guard sacrificed himself to save the sixth prince."

"He asked to repel the Haiqiu Kingdom for this small guard?"

The secretary whispered, "The sixth prince seems to love him dearly."

Xie Xi prayed in his heart, 'Don't ask for the name, don't ask for the name, don't ask for the name!'

Unfortunately, this wasn't Xie Xi's dream and he couldn't shake the eldest prince.

The eldest prince asked, "What is the guard's name?"

"Sein Hall."

Xie Xi, "…"

Roast Pork Bun declared that his daddy was already a salted fish.

Upon hearing this name, the eldest prince's eyes slightly widened and a wave appeared in his calm eyes. "What was he called?" He repeated the question.

The secretary had been following the eldest prince for a long time and knew the temperament of the prince. The eldest prince was forever calm and never moved by anything. Now…

He thought this in his heart but his mouth was honest. "Sein Hall."

The eldest prince's thin lips trembled. "Is there any information about him?"

The secretary had naturally gathered information on Sein Hall. After all, the sixth prince was desperate to resurrect this person. The secretary naturally had to investigate and report to the eldest prince.

“This subordinate will give it to you." The secretary opened his own communicator to transfer the information on Sein to the prince.

The eldest prince couldn't wait for the transfer time and ordered, "Show me directly."

The secretary was surprised for a moment.

The eldest prince frowned and his expression became abnormal. "What are you doing?"

The secretary's spirit returned due to this voice and he hurriedly said, "I-I will."

He opened Sein Hall's information.

The photo showed a very good-looking person. His hair was like black ink while his white skin was like a pearl lying on black velvet, radiating a soft light. His facial features were beautiful and his eyes were bright. When he looked straight ahead, it seemed that the scenery of the seabed was reflected in his eyes.

The eldest prince looked stunned.

He thought it was nothing more than a ridiculous dream, an unrealistic illusion of a midnight dream. He thought there wasn't anyone in this world who could make him pay everything.

Yet the dream had become reality.

His name was Sein Hall. This was exactly the same as the dream.

The prince also felt the desperation and pain of the dream.

Losing him, obtaining him, suffering from loss… the ecstasy that couldn't be believed at the end.

It was really all true. The person in the dream was real.

Sein, Sein, Sein…

The eldest prince inwardly called out the name and couldn't remember where he was.

"Your Highness?" The secretary's voice called back his mind. "What's wrong?"

The secretary had never seen the eldest prince look so strange. It was as if the prince was in an ice cellar, as if he had lost everything, as if his soul had been taken away…

The eldest prince jerked, his dark eyes hollow as his voice trembled uncontrollably. "He's dead, he..," died trying to save Sirius.

The secretary's heart was beating quickly and he wasn't sure about the situation. Did the eldest prince and Sein Hall have a relations.h.i.+p? Wasn't the eldest prince lacking in emotions?

The secretary replied, "Yes, Your Highness… The s.h.i.+p that the sixth prince took to the land was blown up and Sein Hall along with it. No traces of his bones are left."

There were no bones left…"

The eldest prince's head was buzzing as he muttered, "It was Father who did it, Father killed him."

The secretary was shocked and paled. "Your Highness, you… you…" This was too much. Still, he didn't dare say it out loud.

“He always had an interest in the land and wanted to be king of the world. However, Aix-en and I wouldn't fight and he couldn't help it…" Thus, he used the special guards to attack the sixth prince in order to arouse public outrage and stimulate Gars to go to war with the land.

In fact, the eldest prince had long known this but he never acted due to his lack of emotion. Secondly, Sirius wasn't dead and he wouldn't let the old king do whatever he wanted.

Now… the eldest prince felt a pain he had never experienced before. His heart seemed to be a messy ma.s.s of mud.

Xie Xi wasn't surprised to hear this. There were only a few people who could mobilize the special guards.

If it wasn't the princes then it could only be the old king.

Originally, Xie Xi felt that the old king didn't have enough motives. He only understood after hearing the eldest prince's words.

An ordinary father who had so many excellent sons wouldn't be able to shut his mouth from the joy.

An ambitious emperor wasn't necessarily happy. In particular, things became more difficult once his sons came to power and took key positions.

The sixth prince wasn't favoured so it was natural for the old king to sacrifice him for private desires.

The secretary was scared. "Your High, Highness, what's wrong with you?"

The situation of the eldest prince was truly frightening. He was as pale as paper and his lips had lost all colour. His dark eyes were eerily black and the veins on his forehead revealed how much pain he was in.

The emotions that had been missing for 20 years were rising up again and it was enough to drive a person crazy.

Xie Xi felt very anxious but he didn't dare appear. He could only hide here nervously.

Fortunately, Randy's mental strength went against the sky. He gritted his teeth for more than a minute and finally calmed down.

The secretary was covered in cold sweat as he asked, "Your Highness, I will bring a doctor."

The eldest prince waved his hand. "No."

"You…"

The eldest prince stood him. He was quiet but no longer as cold and ruthless as before. He said, "I will go and see Sixth Brother."

They left and the anxious Xie Xi also followed.

The previously empty sixth prince's palace was now bustling. He won a big victory and there were streams of people coming to congratulate him. The old king also gave him countless rewards.

The eldest prince drove away the outsiders as soon as he came, giving a reasonable justification. "Sixth Brother is still recovering. You should go back first." It was a big victory but the sixth prince had been injured. This was inevitable. After all, Haiqiu weren't vegetarians.

Xie Xi was also worried about the sixth prince. He just sneaked in when he smelt a faint cold aroma.

It was the fourth prince's medicine.

Xie Xi thought of the wonderful effects of the medicine and sighed with relief. The injuries of the sixth prince wouldn't be a problem and he just needed a good rest.

He thought this but couldn't help feeling guilty after seeing the sixth prince's pale face.

The sixth prince dove alone into thousands of enemy forces, killed the other side and captured the important state teacher. It sounded light but it would be really hard to describe the price that the sixth prince paid.

Xie Xi couldn't understand.

Why were they so persistent?

The eldest prince, the sixth prince and also the fifth prince…

The sixth prince could do things so smoothly because the fifth prince was behind him. The fifth prince might be alienated from the political centre in recent years but he had the power of his mother. He helped the sixth prince and the sixth prince managed to return triumphantly.

The person was dead. Why didn't they give up?

Xie Xi couldn't understand it. He never had such blazing feelings.

The eldest prince came over and waved his hand when he saw the weak sixth prince. "Have a good rest. There is no need to be polite."

The sixth prince stayed in bed and described his experience. He understated it but Xie Xi was still shocked and terrified by his words.

Roast Pork Bun rushed over and rubbed his small head against the sixth prince. "You worked hard, worked hard. Fortunately, your eyes weren't hurt…"

Xie Xi really wanted to pull this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d back. Was the focus the eyes? The actual person didn't matter?

After the explanation, the eldest prince opened his mouth. "Where is the Haiqiu state teacher?"

The sixth prince replied, "He is with Fifth Brother."

The eldest prince was surprised. "FIfth Brother?"

"Yes, the teacher was injured and Fifth Brother took him to be treated. They should be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fifth prince came back with a middle-aged merman.

Xie Xi hated this state teacher. If looks could kill, this state teacher would've been torn to eight pieces!

The state teacher of Haiqiu looked like an ordinary merman on the seabed. If there was a difference with the merpeople of the underwater kingdom, it was the webbing between his fingers.

The state teacher had been treated but his face was still blue and purple. It had presumably eaten a fist. The eldest prince stared at him and asked, "Can you really let a dead person live again?"

The state teacher didn't reply. Then the sixth prince's eyes looked over him and he immediately shrank back with fright. "I-I can but there, there are a few conditions…"

The eldest prince's lips thinned and he clenched his fists. "What are the conditions?"

The state teacher didn't dare speak and just stared at the sixth prince.

The fifth prince's eyes narrowed. "Say it!"

It was unknown what he experienced but the state teacher was completely terrified. "T-The death time can't exceed 15 days."

Xie Xi's teeth really hurt. They just needed to hold on for two or three more days. The Haiqiu were really weak!

The state teacher added, "You must have something belonging to him."

This was too simple. Sein Hall's residence had long been sealed by the fifth and sixth princes.

Finally, the state teacher gave the third condition. "…There must be the blood of at least three people who love him deeply."

Xie Xi, "…"

Roast Pork Bun exclaimed, "Three? That's easy. Daddy has six people madly in love with him."

Xie Xi wanted to murder a cat.

The fifth prince and sixth prince had obviously known these three conditions. Now that they listened again, they started frowning and looked slightly depressed.

The state teacher added, "If you can't find three people then he can't be resurrected." The fifth prince looked at the sixth prince. "Sein's family won't work. The third person…"

They finally caught the state teacher only to have their hope cut off at the last step.

Three people, where were they going to find this third person?

Then the eldest prince abruptly opened his mouth. "Use my blood."

The fifth prince and sixth prince stared at him with astonishment.

The fifth prince explained, "Big Brother, you must love Sein…"

The eldest prince interrupted him. "Just try it."
