The Underworld's Sacred Guardian Chapter 10

Fu Yanxi's heart seemed to suddenly be filled with a stream of clear spring water, and the tension in his chest suddenly cleared up. He lowered his eyes and smiled softly, looking at Arthur Xu's back. At this moment, under the moonlight, his figure looked particularly tall.

Fu Yanxi returned to Gabriel Xu's room and looked at the person sleeping on the bed. Fu Yanxi sighed softly, sat down gently on the edge of the bed, looked sideways at the person on the bed, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Your father is right. In one's life, one must be true to one's conscience and actions. There are tens of thousands of people in the world, so how can one say and do the same thing?

He gently held Gabriel Xu's hand. The cold moonlight was particularly gentle at this moment, and it sprinkled into every corner of the room carefully.

"Many things should indeed be let go, what do you think?" Fu Yanxi said softly. Perhaps this sentence was spoken to himself, because Gabriel Xu had already fallen asleep, so how could he hear it?

In his sleep, Gabriel Xu unconsciously clenched the hand of Hades, and the smile on the corner of his lips made people's hearts feel warmer.

In the dream, Gabriel Xu was sitting on a swing, with someone pushing him from behind. In front of him was the gurgling water, and the towering trees on the vast plain looked even more comfortable in the sun.

Gabriel Xu's laughter spread throughout the forest, and he opened his arms to embrace the wind.

The two men came to the river. The man was wearing ancient costume and always held a medical book in his hand. Gabriel Xu wanted to read it, but he could never see it clearly.

The cool river water slid over the back of his feet, and Gabriel Xu splashed water happily.

"I look a lot like you. If one day I replace you, what will you do?" the man suddenly spoke. When Gabriel Xu turned around, everything peaceful around him suddenly disappeared. It was pitch black around him, and the man who spoke also disappeared with the wind in an instant.

Gabriel Xu panicked. He couldn't find that person, but that person's voice kept lingering in his ears. Gabriel Xu grabbed the quilt tightly, and Fu Yanxi, who was lying next to him, was awakened.

"No, don't go... No..." Gabriel Xu grabbed the quilt and muttered to himself, sweat oozing from his forehead. Fu Yanxi raised his hand to measure his temperature.

Suddenly Gabriel Xu opened his eyes in a trance, looking nervous and scared as if he had experienced a catastrophe, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Meeting Fu Yanxi's eyes, Gabriel Xu put his arms around his neck, his eyes full of panic and fear before he slowly calmed down.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm always here." Fu Yanxi whispered in his ear, and Gabriel Xu nodded. He must have been really scared just now, and he was still a little afraid even with his eyes closed.

His cold big hand gently covered his back. Gabriel Xu shuddered, but still held the God of the Underworld tightly.

"I'm scared..." Gabriel Xu muttered, and Fu Yanxi coaxed him patiently, then Gabriel Xu lifted the quilt.

"God of the Underworld, sleep with me." Gabriel Xu buried his face in his chest. This posture would cause some misunderstanding to others. Fu Yanxi immediately raised his hands when he heard this. It was as if there was some mechanism on Gabriel Xu's body that would kill him if touched.

"I'm always with you, don't be afraid!" Fu Yanxi was still comforting her carefully, but he had already started to keep a distance physically.

Gabriel Xu refused to let go and held Fu Yanxi tightly. A faint sob was heard and Fu Yanxi's pupils suddenly shrank. Somehow, she lay down in Gabriel Xu's bed as if possessed.

He lay straight, not daring to move at all, and not daring to be touched by the warmth from Gabriel Xu's body.

His breathing was a little disordered, and Gabriel Xu's dishonest hands were touching him all over. If this continued, something bad would happen.

He held Gabriel Xu's restless little hands, and warned him in a gentle voice while steadying his breathing: "Don't touch me."

The unhappiness on Fu Yanxi's face was almost overflowing. When she met Gabriel Xu's eyes, she still felt a little more helpless. In the end, she gently placed his hand on her belly, and then placed her own hand on the back of his hand.

Gabriel Xu was contentedly preparing to go to bed. Fu Yanxi closed his eyes lightly and felt sleepy. The breath of the person beside him kept lingering around him. After an unknown amount of time, Fu Yanxi held the person in his arms.

Gabriel Xu slept soundly in his arms. Fu Yanxi opened his dry eyes, thoughts stirring in his eyes. How nice it would be if the person in his arms was that person.

Gabriel Xu squeezed into his arms. Fu Yanxi raised his hand but couldn't put it down. He told himself countless times in his heart that Gabriel Xu was not that person, but he always connected them.

"Don't... replace me..." Gabriel Xu suddenly spoke when he was struggling, and the sleepiness between Fu Yanxi's brows disappeared instantly.

Looking at Gabriel Xu in his sleep, what is he talking about? Replacement? Fu Yanxi took his pulse, and this pulse...

He placed his hand on Gabriel Xu's back, continuously transmitting spiritual energy to him, and his other hand gently swept across Gabriel Xu's brow. He had been plagued by nightmares recently, so he had to get him some prescriptions to calm his nerves.

Fu Yanxi wanted to leave while he was sleeping, but found that Gabriel Xu was holding his clothes tightly. Fu Yanxi looked at his clothes that were torn into wrinkles, and silence and helplessness spread.

The next morning, when Gabriel Xu opened his eyes, he stretched lazily. The people around him were long gone, and the warm sunshine in his eyes made Gabriel Xu feel even more comfortable.

A faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine drifted into the room. Gabriel Xu sniffed and opened the door with an exploratory look on his face. The smell of traditional Chinese medicine became stronger.

There were two figures busy in the kitchen. Gabriel Xu ran down excitedly and saw Fu Yanxi wearing an apron and decocting medicine in the kitchen.
 
Arthur Xu was also making soup on the side. Is it good to eat something like this so early in the morning?

"A day's plan begins in the morning. Morning is called the yang of yang, the time when yang energy is at its peak. You've been sick for too long, and the yang energy in your body can no longer warm you up. I've made you some aconite and mutton soup to warm you up first."

Fu Yanxi raised his chin, and Gabriel Xu looked in the direction where his voice came from. The rich smell of mutton really tempted the taste buds, without the fishy smell as imagined. Looking at the steaming pot, Gabriel Xu's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Then what did you make?" Gabriel Xu looked at the medicine in the pot. Although it smelled bad, it must be something good.

"Yangxin Decoction replenishes Qi and blood, nourishes the heart and calms the mind. People often have nightmares, and if they are not calm, they will be caught by dreams."

Fu Yanxi raised her hand and poked Gabriel Xu's forehead, her eyes full of doting. Arthur Xu was so happy watching from the side, after all, he felt relieved to have Fu Yanxi by his side.

"I'm so hungry, when can I eat this?" Gabriel Xu was a little impatient and refused to leave while guarding the mutton.

"Wait a moment, Gabriel Xu, do you know what aconite is used for?" Arthur Xu began to ask. Although Gabriel Xu had been following his father since he was a child, he really didn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine. He looked at Fu Yanxi on the side for help.
