Pei Xia insisted on bringing a quilt, and Lucifer insisted not to let him sleep at the door.
Pei Xia hesitated and decided to make a bed next to Lucifer's bed—thinking about the devil hiding in Earl Hobson's house, it was a little scary to sleep outside.
However, after the negotiation, there was still a little problem between the two.
The servant brought hot water for bathing. There is no doubt that when Lucifer takes a bath, Pei Xia will guard the door for him, but when it is Pei Xia's turn, it is not easy to ask Lord Shengzi to replace a little Knight guard.
Pei Xia thought for a while: "Master Shengzi, I'd better go downstairs to wash."
Lucifer slowly raised his hands, clasped his hands together, and put them on his chest with a weak expression: "In case Earl Hobson suddenly comes over..."
"Ah?" Pei Xia was stunned for a moment, "I don't think the Earl is interested in me."
Lucifer: "... came to look for me suddenly."
Pei Xia: "..."
He gripped the edge of the tub, not knowing what to do for a while. Why, why did the hero become so delicate? So that he has to worry about the hero's chastity all the time
Pei Xia hammered a tub silently: "Since this is the case, there is no other way."
Lucifer said empathetically: "Don't worry about washing it, I won't peek."
How can the leader back down for himself? Pei Xia patted his chest, and said righteously: "This is the room of Lord Shengzi, please don't worry about me, Lord Shengzi!"
As he said that, he took off his coat, took off his shoes, and jumped into the water with his shirt and trousers.
Splash... water splashes everywhere.
Lucifer silently looked at Pei Xia, his hands still held weakly in front of his chest. He saw that the young man's not-so-strong body was wrapped in a semi-transparent white shirt after being wet with water, which seemed more and more alluring in the looming way.
It's just that the black-haired young man in the water didn't realize this. On the contrary, he thought he had made a very smart choice.
Pei Xia looked at Lucifer with a gratified smile: In this way, Lord Lucifer won't feel shy and restrained, right
Lucifer smiled and looked at Pei Xia: Does this mean that Pei Xia trusts him more
Although it is strange to take a bath while wearing clothes, but compared to being treated as a pervert by the male protagonist and then purified by a holy light, it is strange to be strange.
Pei Xia turned around, took a bath with his back to Lucifer, he made this choice for Lucifer's comfort, not because he likes to wash like this, besides, he is a homosexual, in front of the same sex I still feel a little embarrassed to take a shower.
Hmm... Turn your back to him, so that Lucifer won't find himself embarrassed → won't feel that he has unreasonable thoughts about him → his life safety is guaranteed again.
Perfect.
Pei Xia quickly took a battle shower, and when he came out, he wrung the water from the wet clothes, then wiped his hair with a towel, and was about to dry the clothes with sword energy.
At this time, Lucifer was sitting by the bed, his arms and legs were covered by the white nightgown, only his fair and beautiful hands and feet and slender neck were exposed. He suddenly waved to Pei Xia:
"Pei Xia, come here."
"Yes, Master Shengzi." Pei Xia was still holding a wet towel in his hand, he approached with some doubts, and the damp steam rushed towards his face.
Lucifer, with blond hair hanging around his shoulders, raised his hand to touch his face.
This time, Pei Xia's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Lucifer in shock: "Master Shengzi, what do you want?"
"Hush..."
The warm, refreshing light that dispelled fatigue escaped from Lucifer's palm, and then enveloped Pei Xia's head, and his naked black hair slowly dried.
Pei Xia stood stiffly in front of him, slightly bent down so that Lucifer could dry his hair.
He obviously looked very tired before, should he really be worthy of being the hero, he recovered quickly. Pei Xia didn't dare to look around, staring at the ribbon on the front of Lucifer's nightgown, thinking wildly.
When the black hair became dry again, Lucifer's hands went down his face to his shoulders, he gently released the warmth, driving away the cold and damp for Pei Xia.
Pei Xia felt a little uncomfortable, but he held back and didn't show it. Don't think about Pei Xia, he is a man without CP, he is only polite to girls, and shows no mercy to male nympho... Think about your life.
However, even though Pei Xia could persuade Lucifer to help him out of kindness, he still inevitably had some strange reactions.
Anyone who is gently caressed from the shoulders by those hands, neither light nor heavy, with some itching and comfortable warmth, will inevitably have some reactions, right? It has nothing to do with whether Pei Xia likes him or not, it's purely physiological.
Pei Xia subconsciously clamped her legs, her face tensed to prevent herself from being exposed.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little tired, so I'll be slower." When he said this, Lucifer was looking at Pei Xia with a frank and stern look.
At this time, his hand was about to break through the dangerous position, and it had already reached Pei Xia's waist.
Pei Xia was startled, and quickly held his hand back, accidentally pulled him away with force, and then reacted quickly to let go of his hand.
Pei Xia took an awkward step back with his legs crossed and bowed: "Thank you very much, Mr. Shengzi, for your help. It is enough."
"How could it be?" Lucifer said with a smile, "Pei Xia, God wants us to help each other, you don't have to be polite."
Pei Xia's brow was sweating anxiously. He held back for a long time and said, "Master Shengzi, you are already very tired. It will be very dangerous if there are demons attacking you. Please save your magic power!"
Lucifer chuckled, his eyes gliding over Pei Xia's slightly flushed and aggrieved face, he didn't push any further, and let the poor knight go: "Alright then, I accept your suggestion."
Pei Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stood in the corner drying his pants with his back to Lucifer.
The poor clothes were soaked and dried three times in just half a day. If the clothes had a soul, it would definitely ask Pei Xia: Do you have any special hobbies
…
As the Holy Son of the Light God Sect, Lucifer would praise the gods before going to bed. Originally, Pei Xia was not in the habit of doing this, but with the Holy Son, he had to put on a show.
He clasped his hands under his chin, nodded slightly and closed his eyes, pretending to be praying.
To be honest, he is not a follower of the God of Light, he joined the religion of the God of Light just to get close to Lucifer.
No way... Why does it feel uncomfortable to think about these things? Being forced to do nothing, Pei Xia, who pretended to be devout, had to be really devout. He began to recite the Bible of Light in his heart. After reciting half of the Bible, he finally returned to normal.
After praying, Lucifer lay down under the quilt, Pei Xia respectfully said good night to him, then blew out the oil lamp, and got into his own bed in the dark.
It was really too dangerous today, almost lost his composure in front of Lucifer, thinking about the tragic end of the cannon fodder Pei Xia in the original book who was purified by a holy light because he molested Lucifer, Pei Xia couldn't help being afraid.
No, you must be pure-hearted and ascetic, and you must not let the hero find out that you are gay!
…
The next morning, after having breakfast with Lucifer, Pei Xia went downstairs to visit Alice. Alice still looked terrified, and could only feel more at ease if she stayed among the paladins.
Because Lucifer decided to investigate who was lying between Alice and Hobson here, so they didn't leave, and the torrential rain still didn't stop, so they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
The paladins have a habit of practicing swords in the morning. At the moment, it is raining heavily outside and they cannot practice freely, so they borrow the living room on the first floor, put down their swords, and practice with bare hands.
Lucifer stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and watched the rain pouring outside. In order not to make Lucifer appear deserted, Pei Xia did not join the team of other paladins, but stood beside Lucifer and watched them silently.
Look at those strong biceps, look at the way the sweat runs down the bronzed skin, look at those handsome manly paladins...
Pei Xia touched his heart, and felt his aesthetics became firmer.
Sure enough, a pure 0 should still love hunks.
"Pei Xia, what are you looking at?"
"Macho...!"
Lucifer: "…"
Pei Xia: "... is what I should learn from."
"Is that so?" Lucifer's tone was a little subtle, he raised his hand and patted Pei Xia's shoulder, squinting his eyes and wondering what, suddenly he curled up his lips and smiled.
Lucifer approached Pei Xia's ear very kindly and said, "Pei Xia, it's time to start the investigation."
Lord Earl Hobson didn't know what he was doing last night, he didn't get up until almost noon, he was pale, tall and handsome, when he went downstairs, Pei Xia had already accompanied Lucifer to ask the servants in the castle people.
The servants spoke in unison, all saying that Alice stole the gold from the Earl, and expressed their objection to what Alice said that maids often disappeared.
But the more unified their words, the more serious the problem. There was no need for Pei Xia who had read the novel to remind him, Lucifer could guess that the servants had been warned in advance.
However, it is not acceptable to judge the case based on "what the servants said is completely consistent, but there is something strange". At least, some evidence must be found.
Otherwise, Hobson can deny it completely.
After Hobson went downstairs, he saw Lucifer standing beside Alice, frowning slightly asking for details, and the old housekeeper gave him a look that suggested success, he couldn't help grinning.
He strode up to Lucifer's side and bowed exaggeratedly: "My dear Lucifer, I think you already know enough about my innocence. Please don't be fooled by this girl full of lies, I I will never lie to you, trust me."
Hobson's arrogance made people uncomfortable, Lucifer looked calm, and was about to speak, Pei Xia frowned and stopped between the two.
"Lord Hobson, please don't just call the Holy Son by his name casually. You must be an educated person and you should understand what respect is."
Call Lucifer's name directly
Of course it can, but Hobson's barking is too exaggerated and greasy, and Pei Xia feels a little disgusted when he hears it. Lucifer is well-bred, so he must be patient until the other party doesn't go too far, but as his guardian knight, Pei Xia can't bear it.
Hobson straightened up and told Pei Xia darkly: "Of course I understand what respect is for His Excellency Lucifer, but what about you, how dare you contradict a noble earl! Is this your upbringing?!"
"The Light God Sect does not distinguish between high and low according to secular status."
Hobson sneered: "In this case, then I will challenge you. The loser must apologize to the other party and admit that he is not worthy of calling Lucifer's name!"
It's really a brutal and pathetic cannon fodder who was dazzled by Lucifer's beauty.
"I accept your challenge, in the name of the Holy Son Knight."
