CHAPTER 45 (1/2)

Bonus ko-fi chapter. In addition, I have a sudden work conference I have to go to so don’t expect chapters until Monday.

Lost Atlantis 16

The fifth prince stared at Xie Xi without blinking. His pupils contained the passion of fire, as well as some uneasiness and tension.

This was fascinating.

It was purely charming.

Xie Xi smiled and whispered, “Aren’t you Randall? If so, my mind will never change.”

Randall held his upper arm in an excited manner. “Really?”

Xie Xi nodded.

Randall hugged him hard, as if holding a world famous treasure. He was filled with joy and a desire to take care of something precious.

This fervent emotion infected Xie Xi, so that he couldn’t help smiling.

He didn’t hate Randall.

Jiang Xie continued to take care of the dry roses, thinking of Xie Xi’s words.

—Aren’t you Randall?

No.

—If so, my mind will never change.

Fortunately, he wasn’t Randall or he would never be liked by Xie Xi? Jiang Xie felt more comfortable after hearing these words and looked at the water curtain. He touched Xie Xi’s forehead and said, “It is a bit clever.”

Xie Xi thought the dream was almost over. Who would’ve expected it to continue? The task progress had risen to 16.5% and there was only a short distance left to the full amount.

Xie Xi felt that if he directly said ‘I love you’, it would probably be full already.

However, he couldn’t say this. It wasn’t just because of himself. He just felt that it would be too cruel to the fifth prince.

Randall released him and said, “Let’s go. Leave the palace, leave the capital!”

Xie Xi asked him, “What about the queen?”

Randall showed toughness during his confrontation with the queen, but Xie Xi felt that Randall cared about his mother.

Randall shook his head. Mother will be fine. Once I leave, she will close off her heart and no longer think about the person who had nothing.

His mother loved the prince Randall, not the independent Randall. He was destined to be unable to fulfill her wish so it was easy to break it off now.

This was good for everyone.

Xie Xi stared at him. “Your Highness, won’t you regret it?”

Randall was startled but he soon smiled. His smile was as pure as golden sand flowing down. “No regrets. If you and I can be together, I absolutely won’t regret it.”

Xie Xi smiled and linked their fingers. “Let’s go. I’ll go wherever Randall goes!”

This was really sweet. The fifth prince smiled, his handsome face looking like a landscape painting that was so dazzling that people couldn’t open their eyes.

He whispered softly, “I’m so happy. Sein, am I really not dreaming?”

Xie Xi tensed up.

He had to say some roundabout words, “If it is a dream, we would’ve received everyone’s blessing.”

Randall smiled. “Yes, if it is a dream then I would have Mother accept you and make all the sea mermaids sing for us!”

Xie Xi only hoped that Randall wouldn’t remember these words when he woke up.

Otherwise… it was too ironic.

He just said it wasn’t a dream when there was a scene change that only appeared in a dream.

Fortunately, Randall didn’t feel that something was wrong. He thought that he left the kingdom with Xie Xi, left the centre of power and headed to the beautiful countryside.

They settled down in a remote down.

The fifth prince still had some savings. He bought a small house and told Xie Xi, “I have temporarily wronged you. Later, I will personally design our love nest.”

Xie Xi could design it. After all, a big designer… In any case, he didn’t believe the dream would last that long so he replied, “I’m looking forward to it.”

The fifth prince was spoiled. Even if he was the favourite among the princes and princesses, his mother was strong and the old king didn’t want to give him the position of this. This was psychologically good for him.

The prince was born with a golden spoon yet he did all types of rough work in the dream.

He cleaned the house, washed the clothes and even cooked.

Xie Xi was surprised. “Your Highness… this is amazing.”

The fifth prince glanced at him. “I told you, don’t call me that.”

Xie Xi corrected himself. “Randall, how do you know all this?”

The fifth prince’s smugness was cute. “I’m not impulsive. Since I wanted to elope with you, I naturally had to be prepared!”

E-Elopement.

Xie Xi felt it funny, strange and distressing.

The fifth prince really wasn’t joking. He seriously considered the future and prepared for it.

Xie Xi rolled up his sleeves. “I’ll help.”

The fifth prince pushed him out. “Give me a chance to perform. I have to let you know that you didn’t choose the wrong person.”

Xie Xi was forced to retreat to the door. “Okay, I will watch from here.”

The fifth prince was quite skilled and his knife movements were excellent.

The food in the underwater world had a wide variety. Of course, there was no fire and the undersea creatures didn’t like to eat cooked food. It was basically sashimi as well as edible coral and fruits that were unique to the sea.

Xie Xi initially wasn’t used to it. After a while, he found that he kinda liked the food.

The fifth prince told him, “There are fruit sacs outside. Go and pick a few.”

This was similar to a drink. There was a special straw at the top that they could use to drink delicious fruit pulp.

Xie Xi nodded. “Okay.”

He went outside and felt a different atmosphere as soon as he reached the fruit sac tree.

A wave of killing intent brushed against his cheeks.

Xie Xi tensed up and a hint appeared in the lower right corner.

[The dream is coming to an end. Please feel free to leave.] This was followed by a countdown.

Randall’s dream was over?

This thought had just flashed through Xie Xi’s mind when Randall’s scream was heard, “Sein!”

Xie Xi saw the uniform of the underwater army.

Randall hugged him and screamed at the soldiers holding the weapons, “What are you going to do?”

Xie Xi vaguely guessed what would happen next.

He didn’t expect the fifth prince’s dream to end in such tragedy.

He felt sorry but it couldn’t be helped.

Xie Xi looked at the countdown and chose to leave the dream towards the end. The moment his mind was being pulled away, he heard the fifth prince’s angry voice, “Sein, no!”

Xie Xi returned to reality.

He quickly left the bed and hid behind a screen.

The fifth prince suddenly woke up. The movement of sitting up was too big and the whole bed trembled.

Most undersea people were suspended on the bed. The fact that he made such a big movement was enough to show how shocked the prince was.

After a long time, the fifth prince whispered, “It’s a dream… it is just a dream.”

Xie Xi hadn’t seen the last scene but guessed what had happened. It was a dream where he had been killed.

He didn’t know who sent the soldiers but their goal was clear: Kill Sein Hall.

The orange bar stopped at 16.66% and didn’t turn green. It indicated it wasn’t full but the difference of 0.0066..% was very small.

Unfortunately, Sein Hall was dead.
