care?

Why does this Dragon Prince care about and like me at the same time...

Also, I have never been able to figure out why he wanted to save me in the first place, and why... he chose to form a spiritual contract with me.

Hearing that I was silent in his arms, he let go of my body and lay on my side on the big bed with me.

I don’t know where a beautiful hourglass with two white dragons carved on it appeared. He brought the hourglass to me:

"Here, this is the flowing hourglass that I spent a night and used my true energy to forge for you. You should put it away and be sure not to lose it."

"Streaming hourglass?" I rubbed my wet eyes and accepted the crystal hourglass with two small white dragons attached to it.

The dragon on the hourglass, perhaps because of its reduced size, looks naive and cute, with vivid features and lifelike features.

Each dragon scale is carved with smooth and clear lines, and the edges of the scales are glowing with a light five-color light.

The upper and lower glass bodies of the hourglass are also translucent as if they don't exist, and the highlights reflect gentle silver light.

The hourglass is filled with a very small part of silvery white sand. From a distance, the sand looks like a patch of soft light from the stars.

It is pleasing to the eye, like a valuable handicraft.

"It's so beautiful." I couldn't help but praise it.

He raised his fingers and caressed my eyebrows, his eyes showing joy: "As long as you like it."

I played with it for a while, "A gift?"

Turn the hourglass upside down, and the light from the stars flows little by little from the small glass pot above into the lower end.

It’s true that it looks good, and it should be true that it’s valuable. Crystals made of this material are definitely worth a lot of money.

"It's not a gift." He snatched my quilt without any courtesy at all and slept in the same bed with me.

He carefully wrapped me in the quilt again, put one arm skillfully around my waist, and pulled me into his arms with a little force.

Another sudden closeness made me straighten up in fear, and I held my breath uncomfortably.

I originally wanted to reach out and push him away, but when I saw him closing his eyes on my pillow, with a hint of tiredness on his face, I relented again...

Hey, forget it, don't worry about it, after all, he is a lifesaver, let him sleep in your arms... you won't suffer any loss.

"You have already died violently in the world of mortals. Although you have my spiritual power to maintain your life now, it is not a long-term solution.

From now on, you need to accumulate merit in the human world. Every time you accumulate good deeds, there will be a little more sand in the hourglass.

Silver sand and stones represent more or less of your vitality. The more sand, the stronger your vitality. When the hourglass is filled with silver sand, you will be transformed into an immortal.

My magic power can only guarantee that your soul will not be separated and your body will not decay in the human world. Even if I form a life-and-death contract with you, you can only stay in the world like a living dead.

If you lose all five senses for too long, you may become bored. You cannot live in this state for the rest of your life. I have thought about it and only found this method that suits you.

Xiaoran, when you become an immortal, you and I can be together for the rest of our lives."

"Becoming an immortal? It must be quite difficult, right?" I looked at the nearly 1% amount of sand in the hourglass and fell into confusion.

Maybe he was really tired. He hugged me and pressed his unnaturally handsome face on my shoulder. His voice was lazy and his words were slow: "Well, most people want to cultivate to become an earthly immortal for thousands of years.

It may not be possible.”

"Then how long do I have to accumulate merit before I can see results?"

Thousands of years are too long, and maybe I won't be able to wait for the day when I can become an immortal.

"It takes an average person thousands of years. With me by your side, it's a different matter. Even if you can't become an immortal, I can at least guarantee that you can live safely."

"Then how many good things do I have to do to fill this hourglass with sand..."

"It depends on fate and luck. Xiao Ran, I will try my best to help you."

I shook a small piece of sand in the hourglass: "I haven't done anything yet, why is there sand in it?"

He held me in his arms and was silent for a long time.

It was so silent that I even thought he was asleep...

"The sand inside is the merit I put in it."

"ah?"

"I used my own merits in exchange for it. Three thousand merits can only be exchanged for three hundred. I haven't been a good person many times in my life, so I can't give you much in exchange, so I'll make do with it."

It's easy to put it in these three words, but I know that he must have paid a lot for this matter.

"Why are you so nice to me?" I held the hourglass and felt a mixture of emotions in my heart.

He frowned and replied in an impatient tone: "As I said, it was just because of sex."

I choked, lying face to face with him, at a loss.

The monster in front of me seems to be different from the monster recorded in the ghost books.

He is handsome and treats me well. If he is a romantic partner... he seems to be good too.

No, no, no! He is very unpredictable, and he will fall out at any time. He is being nice to me now, but he might wake up and start grinding against me again.

I am a human and he is a monster. How can humans and monsters be together?

In order to repay his life-saving grace, I allowed him to sleep in my bed.

With him by my side, my sleep quality seems to have improved a lot.

But I am not a good sleeper and always like to move around, and this time is no exception.

When I was in a daze, I felt like I punched someone on the chest. The person groaned, froze, and changed his position to hug me.

After I woke up and thought about the incident carefully, I realized that the place I hit was exactly where I stabbed the knife last time...

——

The next day, Song Shanshan came to my house limping with a cane.

As soon as I entered the door, I shouted that I wanted to come to my house to see the handsome guy. I sat down on the sofa and kept holding the strawberry that the Dragon King had prepared for me. After eating, the strawberry remains were all over the floor.

I resisted the urge to kick her out of the house and grabbed the basket of strawberries. Unfortunately, I wasn't as strong as her and couldn't grab the basket back. In the end, I just managed to grab three small strawberries and ate them in one gulp.

"The police at the fortune teller have gone over to investigate, but they haven't caught anyone. My brother told me that he has already run away. Now the police station is busy issuing reward notices! I didn't tell my brother about the fox because I was afraid. scare him.

If I hadn’t experienced it myself, I wouldn’t have believed that something like a fox getting married, which is rarer than winning the lottery, would happen to me.”

Song Shanshan sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, and smiled at me mischievously: "Ranran, you haven't told me yet, who was the man who was with you the night before yesterday? Where did he come from, what is his identity, and where are the others? Call out and meet me!"

With a dark face, I grabbed another strawberry from the fruit basket in her arms and stuffed the whole strawberry into my mouth, "So you came here specifically for him this time. You should know that he is not a human being."

Song Shanshan shrugged her shoulders with an indifferent expression: "So what, if you are not a human being, you are not a human being. He is so handsome and domineering, so there is something wrong with the talent!"

I squinted my eyes and asked suspiciously: "Aren't you afraid?"

Song Shanshan shook her head: "What are you afraid of? No matter who he is, all he does is save people. If he saves people, it means he is a good person. What are you afraid of when you are a good person?"

Tsk, why didn't I realize that Song Shanshan was so courageous before?

But there's nothing wrong with what she said. Whether it's a monster or a ghost, as long as it does good things and doesn't harm anyone, there's nothing to be afraid of.
