Chapter 16 | Detoxification

Qi Xutian let go of his hand and rubbed his reddish skin. MingEr's eyes in the steamy bath were like the cold moon in the sky, attracting his attention. Thinking of his previous words, he asked, "MingEr means you will accompany me, but there would be nothing else between us? When you grow up, when I want you, you are willing. But, at that time, what would the relationship between us be in your eyes?"

He stood up and pulled the clothes from the side, "Isn't Father considering things too early? What will happen between you and I, wait for a few years to see." As the son of this man, he enjoyed his Father Emperor's care and indulgence. As a man, he also appreciated his ways of dealing with affairs. Even if he had deceived himself, it was normal for an Emperor. There were only two kinds of people in this world for him - the ones he could use and the ones he could not. If he had failed to prove his ability this time, his Father Emperor might have been disappointed, but then he would have abandoned him. Before he had the ability to protect himself, he wouldn't allow this to happen, so he had to prove himself.

Qi Xutian helped him to tie his robe, then loosely put on his own robe and hugged him back to the bed-chamber. "You always think that I only have a temporary interest in you. If you weren't so young, why would I need to be so patient? It has already been proven to you." Putting his small body on the bed, Qi Xutian lay to the side, embraced his body in his arms gently.

They both looked at each other, Qi Mingyue examined the look in his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Why is Father Emperor so persistent towards me? Even though we have a similar fate, you treat me differently just because of this?"

"You don't know how attractive you look. Although you are only six years old, your charm and temperament can make people forget your age and has fascinated innumerable people. Therefore, how can I not take advantage of this opportunity to tie you to my side firmly, so as not to miss such a treasure?" The smile on his face is a little serious, a little playful and frivolous, "MingEr, grow up soon, accompany me, and stand beside me. As long as you want, this world can be controlled."

"Control the world? Not interested." Qi Mingyue snorted softly, pulling his still wet hair and fiddled with it in his hands, "This world is in chaos, the tide rises and it also falls within its own rules, even for a while. If you take control of everything, you would still have to let go of everything at the end. Moreover, now that the three kingdoms of Cang He, An Yang and Lian Tong are standing up, if they can live in peace, why should we waste our effort to cause trouble when everything is safe and sound? Father Emperor can't be so tasteless. This world, could it still be in your eyes? I think that if you had the intention to seize the world, you would have acted long ago and wouldn't have been enthroned all these years without any action." This man was a madman. As long as he wanted to, he would naturally seize it. The world's eyes and censure wouldn't shake him.

Letting him lie in his arms, Qi Xutian took his hair, slowly pulled it through his palm and dried it with internal force. He said with a smile, "MingEr really knows me. The world is too big, why bother to collect it in the palm of my hand? Moreover, what I wanted has already been found." While holding his silky black hair in his hand and playing with it, Qi Xutian continued, "I want you, Qi Mingyue."

Qi Xutian's words were like a declaration and made his heart tremble. Both of them, father and son, were the same kind of people. They would only engage with the things they were interested in. Once they lose interest, they would turn indifferent. For now, they were interested in each other, but who knows what would happen in the future?

Qi Mingyue closed his eyes in the familiar embrace, "Since Father Emperor is so determined, why not wait a few more years?" He felt the arms around him tighten. The man hugging him didn't speak anymore, he couldn't see that in the darkness, the person embracing him was looking at him with burning eyes.
