Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler
chapter-184

Shi glanced at him. Liu said, “Let me check on him.”

Shi didn’t refuse. Although he had felt Long’s pulse, Liu’s words would make him rest assured. “Okay.”

Shi moved away.

Liu carefully examined Long and then gave a positive answer.

But he exerted himself and almost couldn’t stand it. He focused on the examination too much, so he felt exhausted.

Hearing Liu’s words, Shi finally rested assured.

“He’s fine. I’ll go first.”

Shi nodded. “Okay. Thank you.”

Liu smiled and left.

Long didn’t wake up until late afternoon and the sun was almost setting.

Shi didn’t disturb Long, though he thought about whether to wake him up to eat something first, otherwise he would feel hungry.

But Shi also thought that Long would feel bad if he was woken up.

In the end, Shi didn’t wake up Long.

“You’re awake.” Shi knew that as soon as Long woke up because he had been at Long’s bedside.

Long blinked. He was a little dazed and his head was aching.

“Hmm? Qingzhou?” Long got up and rubbed his forehead wearily.

“Your head aches?” Shi hurriedly asked and sat down on the edge of the bed. Then, he reached out his hand to rub Long’s forehead. Long enjoyed Shi’s service and felt much better.

After a while, Shi asked, “How are you? Feeling any better?”

Long smiled and nodded. “Of course. Qingzhou, your service is perfect.”

Hearing that, Shi also smiled.

Long held Shi’s hand. “Sorry to worry you this time.”

Shi rolled his eyes. “You also know it worries me.”

Long smiled bitterly. “But fortunately, it’s all worth it. Qingzhou, I found the blood that can match Ouyang Chuan’s. It’ll be a win-win situation…”

Shi’s soft heart was touched by Long’s words. He knew clearly what Long had done for him.

Seeing that Long was so happy at this moment, Shi felt happy, too… but he also felt worried and his heart ached.

In the past, Long often said that his heart would ache when Shi did some dangerous things.

Shi didn’t understand him at that time, but now, he thought he knew how Long felt.

The heartache of worrying about someone turned to be like this…

Having noticed the changes of Shi’s expressions, Long hurriedly asked, “What’s the matter?”

Shi slowly shook his head. “Nothing. I’m just happy. Are you hungry?”

How could he behave like that if he was really happy? Long raised his eyebrows, but he would not argue with Shi.

Instead, Long nodded. “Yes, I’m hungry.”

Shi said with a smile, “Let’s have dinner early.”

“Okay.” Long naturally wouldn’t refuse.

Two days later, Shi and the others left this place.

The reason why they didn’t do exchange transfusion at once was that they still had a little time before Shi lost his mind.

If there were other more secure ways, then they could choose to do that.

If they really didn’t have any other choice at that time, Ouyang Chuan would have to be given a blood transfusion.

Liu Suifeng remembered clearly that his master failed in doing that, although Long said he was confident.

No one could predict what would happen in the future.

Liu didn’t want to take risks until he had to.

Long knew what Liu was thinking, so he agreed.

They resumed their journey and started the bloody killings again.

Long didn’t participate in that, but he knew everything.

This day, Shi didn’t go out at night. Long asked, “Won’t you go out today?”

Shi shook his head. “No. How are things going in the palace?”

“Nothing happened. It’s calm,” Long said.

Calm… Shi was surprised.

It couldn’t be really calm… but… they had caused such chaos across the nation. Why hadn’t those people taken action?

Shi was a little confused.

Looking at Shi who was lost in thought, Long said with a smile, “What are you worried about?”

Shi slowly shook its head. “I feel it’s a little strange.”

Long smiled. “I also think it’s strange… By the way, I’ve got some news about Wu Xiangyuan. Are you interested?”

Shi glanced at Long and said coldly, “That woman? She wants to work with us?”

“Yes, she seems to have realized that she did a stupid thing.” Long scoffed.

Shi said coldly, “But it’s too late. That woman went too far. She must die!”

Hearing that, Long laughed. “Don’t be so cold-hearted.”

“Everyone should pay for what they have done.” Shi’s voice was still cold.

Long fell silent. He thought that although the poisonous insect had been sealed, it still affected Shi’s character more or less.

Shi wasn’t so cold in the past.

That thought flashed through Long’s mind. Then, he said with a smile, “Wu Xiangyuan is your childhood sweetheart, isn’t she? Qingzhou, do you have the heart to do that?”

Long said that jokingly, but he didn’t expect that Shi suddenly looked fierce at the next moment.

“You call that woman my childhood sweetheart? She doesn’t deserve it!”

Long opened his mouth in amazement. He was sure that Shi’s character had been changed.

“Qingzhou…” Long called his name softly.

Shi seemed to have realized he was a little rude and he also noticed his own changes.

Then, Shi pursed his lips.

Long held Shi’s hand worriedly. “Qingzhou, the poisonous insect… has made you lose control? It’s still less than a month, isn’t it?”

Shi took a deep breath and said softly, “I’m sorry.”

“You silly.” Long smiled. “It’s alright.”

Shi lowered his head.

Long said gently, “Let’s go to find Liu Suifeng.”

Without saying yes or no, Shi just followed Long passively.

Long held Shi’s hand and Shi didn’t resist. They just walked like that.

Liu was surprised to see Long and Shi coming together at this hour. “Why did you come together?”

Long didn’t hide anything and said directly, “I’m afraid that the poisonous insect can’t be controlled.”

Those words stunned Liu. He immediately said, “Let me have a check.”
