For a moment, no one in the room spoke and the air was silent.
After a long time, he finally spoke, "There is no doubt that I love you at this moment."
Yin Li took a deep breath. Jiulan Shu's answer made him dizzy. "Why do you want to suffer for this so-called love?"
Seeing the expression on the boy's face, Zero Kuran suddenly smiled. He stood up and hugged the boy, "Why are you so worried about me? I have decided to endure the trials of the years, why are you even sadder than me?"
This time Yin Li did not resist. He leaned his back against the noble lord's broad shoulders, unloading the burden in his heart. Only then did he finally feel relieved.
Kuran Shu gently kissed the side of his face, and Yin Li turned her head slightly to avoid his breath.
"Will you see me the next second when you return? Will you recognize me in the future? Is Zero Kuran my name?"
Along with a series of questions, Jiulan Shu's warm breath splashed on his face. Yin Li's eyelashes kept trembling. He pushed Jiulan Shu's head away and said, "You guessed right. I met you in the future, but our relationship is not good. You should not be happy yet."
"So I was here first?" After getting the answer, Zero Kiryu couldn't wait to kiss him. His movements were not as gentle as before. He forced the boy to raise his head, bit his lips, and skillfully pried open his teeth, guiding the boy to dance with him.
Yin Li was panting, enduring the rampaging tongue in his mouth, as if even his breath was being robbed. The hand on the back of his head restrained him. He couldn't help but take a step forward and threw himself into Zero Kiryu's arms. His legs were weak, his body was hot, and his hands rested weakly on the man's shoulders.
After a while, Kuran finally let him go with satisfaction, "Let's get married tomorrow, under the witness of Heavenly Father."
Yin Li was just trying to catch his breath when he heard this. He was a little bit incredulous, "What? So suddenly, what are you talking about?"
Kuran Shu took his hand and looked at him tenderly, "I don't know how much time we have left, so I want to do everything I should do. Please have mercy on me, Father."
There was some pleading in his reddish-brown eyes as he looked at the boy pitifully.
He knew that Yin Li would be soft-hearted and would not tolerate harshness, and he also knew how to soften his heart.
Yin Li really compromised, "Okay."
Chapter 207 Jiulanshu 25
The wedding was both hastily and grandly held. Zero Kiryu invited almost everyone in the city. Because the lord generously gave gifts to all the guests, he received everyone's "sincere" blessings.
Yin Li's long white hair hung down behind him. He was wearing a light blue lace shirt and trousers of the same color, with a white waisted robe on the outside. He was holding a bouquet of white roses in his hands, and the fragrance of floral essential oils lingered around him.
Zero Kiryu was wearing a brand new blue aristocratic costume. The red brooch on his chest was dazzling, and the belt around his waist was inlaid with jewels, making him look exquisite and luxurious. He also wore a fur coat on the outside.
Looking at Zero Kiryu covered in jewels, like a peacock spreading its tail, Yin Li couldn't help but laugh.
"Doesn't it look good?" Kiryuu asked helplessly, looking at the young man with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
"It looks good. The Lord possesses unparalleled beauty, so naturally, anything he wears looks good."
Zero Kiryu attaches so much importance to this wedding that he treats it with the highest etiquette, even his clothes are so solemn.
How could Yin Li think it was ugly? He had already noticed how much Kiryuu cherished this wedding and himself, as well as the anxiety and uneasiness hidden under his passionate love.
He held Zero's hand and said, "I can't promise that I can still be with you tomorrow. But I swear, every day I'm with you, I will love you as always."
His eyes were full of love and sincerity, his tone was sincere and genuine, and just by looking at those eyes, Zero Kiryu was already captivated by him.
The faith conveyed by Yin Li's warm hand soothed the anxiety in Kuran Shu's heart. He gently hugged the boy as if he was embracing a fragile and rare treasure.
This wedding, which was not blessed by God, ended with just a hug without the presidency of a bishop.
The invited guests stared in amazement at the lord and the priest hugging each other.
Sunlight streamed through the rose-lined windows, casting dappled shadows on the handsome groom. The autumn wind rustled fallen leaves, and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of roses. Guards from the lord's mansion, dressed in white, were scattering flower petals from a flower basket...
There were no grand vows or passionate kisses; the wedding ended quietly with a hug.
……
The grandest festival in autumn is the Harvest Festival. In order to dispel the haze caused by the plague, Zero Kiryu decided to hold a grand banquet in the market.
Watching the servants in the lord's mansion transporting boxes of food and fruit wine, Yin Li asked helplessly, "Lord, it's all right if you're kind and generous, but how much supplies are left in the lord's mansion?"
Zero Kuran, who was counting supplies with the butler, nodded to the butler upon hearing this, then walked over to the boy and took his hand, "You know, I don't need those things. As for your share, I've kept it in the warehouse without moving it."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Looking at Jiulan Shu's smiling face, Yin Li's eyes contained a threat, "If you continue to starve yourself to death for others like before, I won't care about you anymore."
Kuran Shu chuckled and stared at the boy with burning eyes, "I swear, I will never do that again."
Because he had already obtained a treasure more important than his ideals. On the day he killed himself, the young girl replaced his ideals. Love resurrected him. For him, Yin Li's heart was an inexhaustible source of life.
"My lord, this lady wants to visit you." The butler came forward respectfully, followed by a woman in a cloak.
The woman said, "My Lord, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Seeing this, Yin Li planned to leave, "I'll go keep an eye on the dinner."
Kuran Shu nodded and let go of the boy's hand. After watching the boy's back out of his sight, he turned to look at the woman who came to visit.
The market was filled with the aroma of oatmeal scones and roast goose. Some drunkards had already started guzzling wine. People gathered around the dining tables in groups of three or four, and the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Yin Li's arrival attracted many people's attention.
"Give it to the teacher~" Anna held the crumbed scone in her hand and wanted to pass it to Yin Li.
With a smile on his face, Yin Li squatted down and said gently, "Teacher doesn't eat, Anna will eat."
He was very pleased to see that his students survived the plague safely.
Seeing that Yin Li didn't eat, Anna started to crunch the pie. Yin Li considerately got her a glass of juice.
At this time, Zero Kuran finally arrived. He said a few simple words and raised his glass, "Happy Harvest Festival!"
Everyone raised their glasses and cheered, "Happy Harvest Festival!"
Then everyone burst into celebratory laughter, and the banquet officially began. The main course, roast goose, and dessert were served.
Yin Li watched Kiryuu talking with the nobles not far away, and a strange voice sounded in his ears.
"Excuse me, Father."
Yin Li turned his head and saw a woman in a cloak standing beside him. The woman also exuded the scent of a vampire.
The woman spoke up, "He should stay away from humans. That's for his own good, and for the good of humanity."
Yin Li turned around and looked at Kuran Shu who was not far away. Kuran Shu obviously also saw them talking.
Yin Li guessed the woman's intention, which was nothing more than wanting him to persuade Jiulan Shu, "You think so? He refused, right?"
"Yes. He should be with his companions. You can't stay with him for long."
The woman looked at Yin Li. The young man was indeed handsome, but it was a pity that he was a human. After he left, Kiryuu Kiryu would be thrown into the arms of loneliness again.
Yin Li knew she had misunderstood but didn't explain, "What do you want him to do?"
"I need his power. Now many vampire ancestors are increasing their servants for no reason. I have to stop them."
"You are a great man." Yin Li turned his head to look at the woman, "But the lord refused. I will respect his choice."
Seeing Yin Li's resolute attitude, the woman didn't waste any more words, but instead talked about another topic, "He governs the territory very well. People know his status and don't exclude him. How does he do that?"
Finally, Zero Kuran escaped from the encirclement of the nobles. He gently embraced the young man, vaguely using his body to separate the woman and the young man. "This is not my credit. Everything you have seen is entirely due to the priest."
Yin Li didn't mention what he had done at all, and just evaded the question by saying, "My Lord, you are joking. I just guided the pure goodness in their hearts."
Seeing this, the woman realized that she couldn't ask anything. She sighed and said, "My Lord, please consider my suggestion and return to your companions."
After that she left.
Yin Li watched her leave and asked, "She is your companion, why don't you go with her?"
Kuran Shu hugged him tenderly and kissed the boy's hair, "I've seen too many so-called companions. There's no need to meet that kind of rabble."
The sun gradually set, and the atmosphere of the banquet became even more intense. The lit bonfire dispelled the autumn chill and ignited people's enthusiasm, and everyone sang songs around the bonfire.
Yin Li and Jiulan Shu occupied the corner, watching them singing and dancing quietly.
……
In the following days, Zero Kiryu seemed to want to make up for the time they had missed together. He would check in on the "100 Things Couples Must Do" every day, and every day felt like a ritual.
Yin Li was also happy to watch Zero Kiryu busy himself.
In spring, they strolled in the garden, listening to the birds singing, and trained gyrfalcons together; in summer, when roses were in full bloom and the fragrance was everywhere, they would go boating on the lake and enjoy the cool breeze; in autumn, there were many activities, such as hunting, grape juice banquets, and harvest festivals, and the two of them would walk among the laughing and talking people; in winter, they would sit in front of the fireplace, snuggling up to each other and reading the same book, or playing a game of chess.
They did everything they could, and three years passed like this. The uneasiness in Zero Kiryu's heart became more and more intense.
Looking at the aristocratic lord sitting anxiously beside the bed, Yin Li sat up helplessly and reached out to stroke his handsome face. "Don't be sad, this is not separation yet. We will meet again."
He knew that such light words could not comfort Kuran Shu. Suddenly, he felt his throat choked, a sour feeling surged in his heart, and tears burst out. He suddenly hugged Kuran Shu, "I told you not to like me, why didn't you listen? How are you going to walk the road ahead alone? It's all your fault, it's all your fault..."
He sobbed softly.
Seeing the young man crying like a child, his crying was pitiful and distressing. Kuran Shu smiled and hugged him tightly, "Don't be sad, I will also go to sleep when you are gone. But you must like my current me more, otherwise I will be jealous of my future me."
Yin Li's head was still buried in his chest, and she cried with a nasal voice: "You are so childish."
His vision went dark and his body began to lose strength. He knew it was time to go.
Shu Kuran also felt it, and the boy began to lose his vitality. He kissed the boy passionately, mumbling, "Wait for me, you must wait for me."
Yin Li smiled and said, "I'll wait for you, Jiulan Shu."
Chapter 208 Jiulanshu 26
When Yin Li opened his eyes again, he saw a slightly unfamiliar ceiling. Then he regained his senses and realized that this was his castle.
Before he could recover from the grief of separation, the urge to suck blood surged up in his body. After suppressing this urge, Yin Li sat on the bed for a while to calm down.
[Host, you've finally regained consciousness.] A116's cold, dry system voice revealed a hint of nervousness. [What on earth happened?]
[I went back a thousand years, to the time of the first vampires.] Yin Li stared at the blood streak on his hand, lost in thought. [Can you steal the technology that transported me to ancient times?]
[Host, the system has signed an agreement and cannot steal the technology in the small world. If you need teleportation technology, you can go to the mall to buy it yourself. Do you need me to open the mall for you?]
After hearing A116's old-fashioned answer, Yin Li lost interest and said, "No thanks."
A116 was silent for a moment. [...Also, that wasn't teleportation technology. Preliminary judgment is that it was a causal weapon. This means you couldn't have escaped that blow. You should have died by now.]
Listening to A116's explanation, Yin Li helplessly lay down on the bed. "But as the embodiment of restraint, the True Ancestor has no concept of death, right?"
[Yes, so for unknown reasons, you returned to the past...] A116 felt increasingly guilty as she spoke. [Sorry, host, this is all because of me. I wanted to save energy on reshaping my body and speed up my integration into the world, so I accepted Gaia's gift, which led to these hidden dangers.]
"It's already happened, so don't blame yourself too much. I'm fine now, right? But next time, remember not to accept gifts from unknown sources." Yin Li stood up, opened the door, and walked out, mentally reassuring A116, "The planetary will is something we completely don't understand or have ever encountered. Who knows if the gift it sends is good or bad? If it really has planted a bomb in this body, we'll be powerless to fight back."
After Yin Li walked down the stairs, he saw Hoshinohara's figure in the living room.
Xingye Yuan's ears moved and he also noticed Yin Li's arrival, "You're awake."
