The tail is the most sensitive part of the devil.
This is something Yaxiao just found out today. To be more precise, it was also the first time he realized that having someone else rub your tail and rub your tail yourself are two completely different feelings.
There is a tingling sensation in the coccyx.
Just like being soaked in water, his whole body felt limp and he had no strength. Yaxiao curled up his toes comfortably, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He couldn't help but hug Qin Qi tightly, holding the two of them closer.
Qin Qi put his left hand around Yaxiao's waist and rubbed his tail soothingly with his other hand. The tail felt great in his palm, and his bony fingers slowly moved down along the tip of the tail until they reached the base of the tail. The boy's breathing quickened.
"lighter."
The boy's warm breath was fragile and pitiful, and his usually optimistic and vigorous voice was faintly crying, which made Qin Qi's throat dry and itchy. He restrained himself and withdrew his right hand, gently wiped the corners of Yaxiao's eyes, suppressed his inner emotions, and said hoarsely:
"I'm sorry, it hurts?"
The tip of the tail trembled slightly in the air.
The uneasy feeling that made the demon gradually disappeared, and was replaced by an inexplicable feeling of emptiness. Yaxiao shook his head, and his tail wrapped around Qin Qi's wrist again, and the tip of the tail poked the man's thumb.
"continue."
Yaxiao leaned over and kissed Qin Qi's chin, then buried his forehead in Qin Qi's shoulder, his voice muffled and somewhat soft.
Qin Qi laughed a little, hummed in a low voice, and hugged Yaxiao's waist tighter. His right hand kneaded the soft and cold tail that was glowing with a faint blue light. His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was touching the most precious treasure in the world.
As the night deepened, the two who had just fallen asleep for a long time headed for the central city early the next morning. Judging from their appearance, they did not show any signs of fatigue from staying up late, and they were even more energetic than usual.
However, some marshals, such as Westard, had dark circles under their eyes, and it seemed that they did not sleep well.
Several marshals traveled on the same airship, accompanied by their stewards and carefully selected loyal subordinates.
Once on the airship, the marshals gathered for a short meeting. Wista looked at Qin Qi's usual cold face, but for some reason he could see that he looked very energetic, and it was obvious that he had a good rest last night. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you really have a lover?"
These bachelors were so excited about the arrest of the Insect Queen that they couldn't sleep for several days.
Especially since he was going back to the central city today, and thinking that he could completely get rid of the Worm Queen this time, Westar walked around the room several times last night, jumping up and down excitedly, wishing he could run to his adjutant's room and hug him to talk late into the night.
Fortunately, his adjutant did not open the door for him in the middle of the night, so Westal suppressed his impulse and finally ran around the camp seven or eight times before he felt sleepy.
But what about Qin Qi
He has such a lovely and innocent lover, how could he be so cruel as to sleep with her
Qin Qi glanced at Westa.
There was no meaning in the look, but it somehow made Wista feel like he was being mocked.
But now comes the important matter.
After the other marshals arrived, Westal did not waste time talking to Qin Qi. After the airship had been sailing for a day and slowly landed, the marshals went to the agreed location to gather.
"I should be back in the afternoon."
Qin Qi brought Yaxiao to the military building in the central city, accompanied by Mister who came from the Sixth Base. He whispered to Yaxiao: "If you want to go somewhere, you can ask Mister to go with you."
After the two of them got together, Qin Qi shared his optical computer account with Yaxiao, making it convenient for Yaxiao to shop at any time. Yaxiao only found out about this later.
"good."
Yaxiao knew the purpose of Qin Qi coming to the central city. He said with his eyes bent, "I'll wait for you to come back."
After Qin Qi and several marshals left, Yaxiao thought about it, said something to Mist, and decided to go out for a walk by himself.
"Yaxiao, do you really not need me to follow you?"
Mister was a little conflicted. He was not sure about letting Yaxiao act alone. "Emily is here too. If you feel it is inconvenient, you can let Emily follow you."
"No."
Yaxiao shook his head and refused with a smile: "This is not my first time in Central City."
Mist had no choice but to watch Yaxiao leave.
Yaxiao understood Mist's concerns, after all, he was just a weak butler, but his actions this time were not suitable for him to follow.
After leaving the military building, Yaxiao directly changed into the appearance of a young man and rode a hovercraft towards the direction of the club.
After the Delpo incident ended, Qin Qi directly sent all the members of the organization to labor reform and waited for the right time to come out. Now the organization no longer exists in the club.
However, he did not go to the club this time to meet those acquaintances after labor reform. When he was in the club before, Yaxiao met many astronomy enthusiasts through the identity of Crow Step and had a good relationship with them. Now that he came to the central city again, he also wanted to reminisce with those friends.
Yaxiao is a talkative person.
Just killing time, they chatted until afternoon soon. In fact, the humans in the central city were also very kind, but in comparison, Yaxiao still preferred the Sixth Base.
At the same time, the blockade of the Worm Queen is about to come to an end.
The silver walls around were made of hard material, and even S-level magic insects could hardly penetrate them. The special blue light shone through the glass cover onto the insect mother's body, and the clear red gem was stained with a layer of blue.
The eight marshals stood together, pressed the buttons in front of them, and watched the heavy special door in front of them slowly close.
From this day on, no one can open this door unless eight marshals come here together to decipher the numerous codes.
The worm queens will remain dormant until they die.
Of course, by the time they die, the insect queen should have been weakened by the effects of the instruments. By then, even if it escapes by chance, it won't be able to cause any waves.
In a few decades, there are so many things that can be done, and it is unknown how many magic insects will be left.
Watching the silver door completely close, Qin Qi's deep eyes gradually converged and his clenched fingers loosened slightly.
Compared to Qin Qi, the reactions of the marshals next to him were more intense. The two oldest marshals, Gwen and Will from the Central City, were filled with tears. They had waited for this day for too long. Since they were young, countless heroes had fought bravely to find the Worm Queen.
People died because of the demon insects.
Young children lost their loved ones, elderly people lost their children, they lost so much, and finally on this day, they blocked their lifelong enemies.
“When will this be told to the public?”
Marshal Will's voice was a little choked, his hand trembling as he stroked the silver door, and he turned to look at Qin Qi with tearful eyes.
The sealed location of the Insect Queen cannot be announced to the public. Even the Elder Council does not have the power to know it. This will be a secret that the marshals must keep in their hearts.
However, the arrest of the insect queen must be mentioned.
It is not only to inspire soldiers and civilians, but also to commemorate the dead and heroic souls who died because of the evil insects.
Several marshals, including Wista, also strongly supported Marshal Will.
Qin Qi did not object either.
"Just make the arrangements."
After Qin Qi came back, Yaxiao listened to what Qin Qi said about this matter. He just informed Qin Qi of the situation of the Insect Mother. This was normal. He nodded and didn't take it to heart. However, when he heard Qin Qi's next words, Yaxiao was stunned.
"What kind of investiture ceremony?"
Yaxiao felt a little bored when he heard this, "Marshal, I don't want to participate."
How can a devil be a hero
Qin Qi hugged Yaxiao's waist and looked at him seriously, "You have helped humans a lot. All humans should know of your existence."
If it weren't for Yaxiao, the insect queen wouldn't have been caught so easily and the insect tide wouldn't have dissipated so quickly.
"You don't have to go if you don't want to."
Qin Qi lowered his eyelashes, but he had to have the honor that Yaxiao deserved.
Yaxiao looked at Qin Qi's expression and instantly guessed what he was thinking. A smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes, and his tail behind him affectionately wrapped around the other's wrist.
"Is the Marshal going?"
"I will go, I just won't be awarded a medal."
Qin Qi replied calmly.
Marshals can be awarded medals. In the list drawn up by Marshal Will, several of their marshals have received awards, but Qin Qi refused because he did not think he was qualified for the medal.
Smythe and the Zerg Queen who were involved with the Seventh Base were arrested, and the pollutants were burned, but the dead can never come back.
If it happened again, Qin Qi would destroy the barrier again. That was his duty, but he would never forget his sin.
"oh."
Yaxiao looked at Qin Qi's expression. He didn't say anything, but curled his eyes, put his arms around Qin Qi's neck, kissed the corner of his mouth, and said obediently: "Then I'll go! This way I will have a medal, and I can give you half of it, and you will also have a medal!"
Qin Qi is an inflexible, rigid and stubborn person. He always takes all the things and responsibilities on himself and bears everything alone. Such a person should have a hard life, but Qin Qi seems tireless.
Yaxiao likes Qin Qi like this.
He looked at his boyfriend with pleasure: "Okay?"
I'll give you half of the medal.
How could Qin Qi not understand the tenderness hidden behind these words? He suppressed his inner emotions, lowered his head and kissed her, suppressing the unspoken love between his lips.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was each other's breathing.
Warm breath penetrated into his ears, and Qin Qi's Adam's apple moved slightly. He looked down at Yaxiao. The boy's watery blue eyes were fragile but sweet and obedient, as if he would accept whatever he did.
How could there be anyone in this world who doesn't like Yaxiao? Qin Qi thought, and hugged Yaxiao tighter, like a giant dragon holding its own treasure, not wanting anyone to discover this beauty.
The awarding ceremony was not held immediately.
After all, the purpose of the marshals' trip was to blockade the Worm Mother, and many things were prepared only after the Worm Mother was resolved. However, these had little to do with Qin Qi and Yaxiao. Marshal Will of the Central City was the one responsible for organizing the awarding ceremony.
Yaxiao just went to receive the honor when the time came.
After staying in the central city for about ten days, the medal awarding ceremony was officially held, and two days before that, the capture of the Worm Queen was made public.
"Am I really not dreaming?"
"Has the Insect Queen really been subdued by us?!"
"Of course, but don't be too happy too soon. There are still so many damn demon insects outside that we need to deal with." Having said that, there was an unconcealable joy in the voice of response.
"My elder brother who died long ago would be so happy if he knew about this."
Before the awarding ceremony officially started, Yaxiao, who had deliberately switched to adult form, heard the conversation between two unfamiliar officers next to him. Originally, he did not think that he had done anything worthy of praise.
However, looking at the two officers' excited expressions, Yaxiao's tail hidden in his trouser leg shook unconsciously, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
The system, which was already carrying a camera to record the glorious moment of its host, saw this and immediately took a picture of the scene.
Looking at the young man in the photo, the system's eyes were somewhat kind.
Since coming to this world, the host has unknowingly gained a lot of things. Even if the host is not with Qin Qi, it knows that it is difficult for the host to leave this world because he has too many concerns and gains here.
And this is the warmth that Yaxiao has never had in the demon world.
As solemn music sounded, the system started to work and conscientiously captured the glorious moment when the host was awarded a medal by the elderly marshal.
Originally, the system wanted to take a picture of the host in his juvenile form. After all, that form is the form the host uses most often. However, the juvenile form involves too many things. If it is exposed, the host's butler friends will probably have a lot of questions to ask.
Therefore, when the host discussed with Qin Qi about letting Yabu come to receive the award, the system just listened silently.
After the award ceremony, the system, which had taken hundreds of photos, put away the videotapes contentedly and praised the host several times in succession.
[My uncle is also very good at taking photos! ]
Yaxiao happily praised Fourth Uncle, saying that in this world, there is no system that is better at finding angles for taking photos than Fourth Uncle!
The system felt a little embarrassed by the praise, and after seeing the host reunited with Qin Qi, it happily began to make tea for itself and lay in the rocking chair to rest leisurely.
"Marshal, can we go now?"
Yaxiao admired the sparkling golden medal for several seconds, then turned to Qin Qi and curled his eyes.
Qin Qi stood beside the young man and nodded: "Okay."
After the awarding ceremony, the marshals of other bases can directly leave the central city with their subordinates, and the Sixth Base is no exception.
In fact, Qin Qi had already instructed Mist to have the soldiers pack their luggage so that they could set off immediately after the awarding ceremony was over.
Judging from the time, Yaxiao and his luggage should have arrived on the airship.
"So fast?" Yaxiao was a little happy. He quickly found a place to transform himself into a young boy and followed Qin Qi.
After saying hello to the other marshals and butler friends, everyone from the Sixth Base boarded the airship and left the central city.
Along the way, Qin Qi discovered that Yaxiao really liked the shiny medal and would touch it from time to time. In comparison, other material rewards that could ensure Yaxiao's lifetime of food and clothing did not win the boy's favor at all.
It seems that it is a good thing to award medals at the awarding ceremony.
Qin Qi laughed a little, his eyes never leaving the young man in front of him.
The airship slowly descended.
It was not until evening that they returned to the Sixth Base.
Nearly five months had passed since the two of them last left the villa at the Sixth Base. After taking care of all the miscellaneous matters and stepping into the door of the villa, Yaxiao felt like he was finally home.
He likes the Sixth Base the best!
Yaxiao let go of the Marshal's hand and patrolled the entire house like a cat marking its territory.
Seeing the young man looking here and there, and occasionally sitting on the carpet to play with the ornaments on the table, he seemed to be very busy. Qin Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He walked towards the young man, feeling the satisfaction of going home.
This was the first time Qin Qi had felt this way since his grandfather passed away.
It was late at night and a cool breeze started to blow outside the window.
"It's getting late."
Qin Qi said to Yaxiao who was sitting in his arms.
Yaxiao was fiddling with toys that he hadn't seen for a long time. Hearing this, he seemed to remember something. He leaned back and leaned his weight on Qin Qi's arms, his head resting on Qin Qi's shoulders. He curved his lips and said, "Marshal, where do I stay tonight?"
Qin Qi paused while playing with Yaxiao's tail.
After a few seconds, he said hoarsely, "Can you share a room with me?"
Yaxiao always liked to tease him, and Qin Qi enjoyed it. It was inevitable that he had lost control sometimes before, but he had never crossed that line.
This sentence is asking for Yaxiao's opinion.
Ask Yasha if he can cross that line.
Yaxiao originally asked that question with some teasing intentions, wanting to see more of Qin Qi's expression. When he got an unexpected answer, Yaxiao's face somehow became hot.
However, looking at Qin Qi's slightly moving Adam's apple and reddened ears, Ya Xiao knew that Qin Qi should be more nervous than himself. He relaxed instantly and said in a brisk tone:
"sure."
Hearing these words, Qin Qi's tense back suddenly relaxed a little. Just when he was about to say something, the boy who rested his head on his shoulder moved.
A voice with a lighthearted smile sounded in my ears.
Sticky, soft, yet with an ambiguous invitation.
He said, carry me over there.
The lights in the living room suddenly went out.
The footsteps leading to the second floor gradually faded away.
In the courtyard of a villa far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, a sea of black bone-eating flowers swayed in the night breeze. The rustling sound of the wind concealed everything, including the tiny cries that dissipated in the wind.
The next day, it was just dawn.
The tail covered with silver scales and the tail glowing with dark blue light are intertwined.
The demon's tail is slender and delicate, and compared to the silver tail covered with scales, it has a more fragile meaning.
"I want to go down and check on my bone-eating flower."
Yaxiao's tail lazily patted Qin Qi's silver tail. Last night, they accidentally discovered that after completely absorbing the fragments, Qin Qi would not lose control even in the alienated state. This was an unexpected surprise.
"Um."
Looking at the young man who couldn't open his eyes but still wanted to look at the flowers, Qin Qi chuckled and smoothed the strands of hair on Yaxiao's forehead.
"When you wake up, I'll be with you."
"Remember to call me."
How could a demon be sleepy? Yaxiao was not sleepy, he just didn't want to move. He shrank into Qin Qi's arms and muttered, "Marshal, you are not allowed to leave now."
"good."
"I understand that your tail comes out when you're excited, but don't get tangled up with my tail in the future, or I'll lose my strength!"
"… "
"say!"
"good."
The slightly hesitant answer made Yaxiao open his mouth and bite Qin Qi.
Qin Qi rubbed his head and coaxed him in a low voice.
Soon, the only sound left in the room was the sound of mingling breathing.
The sunlight shone in from the window and slowly hit the head of the bed, where a golden medal was placed, adding a sense of mellowness of time under the sunlight.
The silence reveals a gentle warmth.
Time is long, and they still have a long time to accompany each other and spend it together.
