514 I Donât Need You To Carry Me
Huanhuan said slowly, âWhy canât I?â
Xing Chen said, âYou canât go out without my permission.â
Huanhuan laughed angrily at him.
She deliberately ruffled his short gray-white curly hair. âWhy are you so stubborn, brat?â
Xing Chen was not used to being touched on the head. Before he could dodge, she retracted her hand.
He couldnât tell if he was satisfied or disappointed.
Ever since Huanhuan appeared, his emotions had been very unstable.
Xing Chen smoothed his hair and warned, âIâm much older than you. Stop pretending to be an adult in front of me.â
Huanhuan bent down to look at him. âBut you look no different from those brats who want to eat candy but canât.â
Xing Chen was even more unhappy.
He felt that he had been underestimated. He was about to argue when he heard Huanhuan ask.
âSpeaking of candy⦠Have you ever eaten candy?â
Xing Chen shut up.
Huanhuan understood. âFrom the looks of it, youâve never eaten candy.â
Xing Chen felt that his image as a demon king was getting weaker. He said unhappily, âIâve eaten a lot of good things. I donât lack one or two delicacies!â
Huanhuan smiled at him. âThen do you want candy?â
âI donât want to eat it.â
âBut I really want to eat it. Do you want to go out with me to buy candy?â
Xing Chen studied her with a skeptical expression. âAre you planning to sneak out again and never come back?â
âLook at you. Youâve become smaller and stupid.â Huanhuan raised her chin in the direction of her body. âMy body is still here. Even if I run to the ends of the earth, wonât I have to come back here?â
Xing Chen thought about it. That seemed to make sense.
Huanhuan took his hand. âDonât hesitate. Hurry up and go out with me. Itâs so boring to stay in this damn place all day!â
Xing Chen looked at her hand and hesitated for a moment before saying, âYouâre not allowed to leave my sight after you go out. Otherwise, donât even think about seeing your body again.â
âYes, yes. My body is in your hands. Iâll do anything you say. Letâs go!â
Huanhuan picked him up and sat him on her arm. Then, she spread her wings and flew into the sky.
It was Xing Chenâs first time being hugged. He involuntarily reached out and wrapped his arms around her neck. He found it a little refreshing but was also angry at the same time.
âI donât need you to carry me.â
Huanhuan asked, âWhatâs wrong? Didnât you say you wanted me to hug you?â
He wanted Huanhuan in his arms, not her!
There was an essential difference between the two, okay?!
Xing Chenâs face was tense. âOnly male beasts carry females. Which female carries a male beast? You donât look like a female at all.â
âThen just treat me like a male beast.â Huanhuan flew close to the sky and stopped. âHow do I get out?â
Xing Chen reached out and made a cut in the sky.
Huanhuan carried him out.
As soon as the two of them emerged from the jellyfishâs body, Xing Chenâs body immediately became that of an adult.
The weight instantly increased several times.
Huanhuan quickly let go. Xing Chen landed steadily on the ground. He tidied his clothes. The big jellyfishâs tentacle reached over and gently touched his wrist. Xing Chen also touched the tentacle.
After being comforted by its master, the big jellyfish was extremely happy. Its tentacles trembled slightly.
Huanhuan landed on the ground and looked Xing Chen up and down.
He was more than half a head taller than her now, and his aura was much stronger than when he was young. His narrow amber eyes were especially piercing.
In TV dramas, he would be the perfect villain. Thereâd be black clouds lingering around him.
Huanhuan sighed sincerely. âI still think youâre cuter in the Sea of Illusions.â
The angel-like beautiful boy made one want to dote on and take care of him.
If not for his naturally harmless face, she wouldnât have been willing to take care of him without even knowing his identity.
However, it turned out that she was completely mistaken.
The more beautiful the childâs face was, the darker his heart was.
Xing Chenâs bright red lips moved, and a ghost-like smile appeared on his pale face. âI think you were cuter when you were soft and delicate-looking.â
Huanhuan smiled. âIt seems that youâre as straightforward as me.â
âHuh?â
âYouâre someone who obsesses over looks. You like good-looking people, and you despise ugly people.â
Xing Chen glanced at her with obvious disdain. âWell, you really donât look good now.â
Huanhuan snorted.
She looked around and asked casually, âDo you know if thereâs a market nearby?â
âI donât.â
Huanhuan couldnât help but frown. âYou donât even know where the market is? Then how do you go about your day-to-day life? Do you stay in the Sea of Illusions every day?â
âI donât usually go out.â
In any case, he didnât need to eat, drink, or wear clothes. There was no need for him to go out.
Huanhuanâs face was filled with sympathy.
âSo youâre a homebody!â
Xing Chen: ââ¦â
Although he didnât know what a homebody was, his instincts told him that it wasnât a good thing.
Huanhuan wanted to touch his head, but she realized that he was too tall. She could only pat his shoulder and sigh earnestly.
âNo wonder youâre so perverted. You keep your feelings bottled up at home. From now on, youâll follow me and see more of the outside world. Youâll feel the beauty of this world. Youâll be healthy then.â
Xing Chen glanced at the spot where she had patted him and frowned. Although he still despised it, he endured it in the end.
Huanhuan asked again, âDo you have money on you?â
Xing Chen said, âNo.â
Huanhuan sighed. âLook at you. Not only are you a homebody, but youâre also poor. No wonder youâre still single after living for so many years. What a waste of your good-looking face.â
ââ¦â
Huanhuan turned to leave, but Xing Chen immediately stopped her. âWhere are you going?â
âIâm going to ask someone for directions and borrow some money.â Huanhuan looked back at him and saw that he was looking at her with a dark gaze. She reached out and took his wrist. âCome with me.â
Xing Chenâs dark gaze quickly softened when he saw her grip on his wrist.
She had become bolder after becoming a dragon.
Not only was she not afraid of him, but she could also treat him like an ordinary beast.
This made him feel as if he had returned to the first time they met.
At that time, she didnât care about his identity at all. She took care of him sincerely and was as close to him as a real family member.
