Chapter 523 - You Wouldn’t Want to Destroy That (1/2)

Xin Lan whirled around with his claws extended, prepared to impale whoever was behind him. He got the vague impression of a pale face and a pair of especially dark eyes and stopped just before his claws injured the skin. He stared at him, only to get stared back at.

The fallen god tilted his head. ”Please. Go ahead. I'm sure you could take a curse.”

Xin Lan took a deep breath, retracted his claws and lowered his hand. ”What are you doing here?”

The fallen god turned to the side and silently walked a circle around him before he faced him again. ”Taking a look.”

”At what?”

The fallen god didn't answer and just stared at him with those black eyes. He didn't even seem to blink.

Xin Lan waited. He wanted to turn away but he didn't dare to. How long had he stood behind him? How much had he heard? How much had he seen? And would he talk about this?

The fallen god's gaze slid down to the pendant that was still hanging above Xin Lan's robe. He reached out and lifted it, looking at the transmission stone embedded in the middle as if he could still see the people inside. ”So that is the person you pretend to love.”

Xin Lan's gaze flickered. So he had really seen him. ”What are you talking about?”

”A beauty. No wonder.” He let go of the pendant and turned away, looking down the corridor.

Xin Lan also shifted to the side, no longer looking at him. This guy wasn't talkative, normally. Maybe he would see and then just forget about it? He probably wouldn't —

”Mn, golden hair …”

Xin Lan frowned and glanced at him. ”What do you want to say?”

”He had golden hair.”

Xin Lan narrowed his eyes. ”Yes, that … isn't that uncommon for dragons.”

The fallen god turned to him and raised his brows. ”Really not that uncommon. Doesn't the demon king's beloved also have golden hair? I think I've heard him talk about it.”

”What do you want to say?”

”Such a coincidence.” The fallen god turned away and silently walked down the corridor.

Xin Lan frowned and followed him. ”What do you intend to do now?”

The fallen god didn't answer and just continued to walk as if he hadn't heard at all.
