Legends in the Desert

page views:1 Publication date:2023-04-11

Bean is a small desert kingdom built on a vast oasis. It's rich in resources and has ample underground water veins for its inhabitants.

Therefore, it's a stable, prosperous, and beautiful place.

However, besides natural disasters, there's another terrifying thing in the desert—desert bandits. But since Prince Xiu Dela ascended the throne, the people of Bean have rarely seen desert bandits. Everyone says that the new king's prestige has intimidated the bandits, making them dare not come again.

When Xiu heard this news, he simply smiled and let it go.

Normally, Bean's nights are bustling with activity. People who have worked hard all day can finally put down their work and enjoy themselves. Tonight

, three distinguished guests have arrived at the palace. They are an envoy and a princess from a neighboring country.

Bean is surrounded by a neighboring country called Furo. Tonight, the princess and envoy from Furo have come to propose marriage.

Xiu is 25 years old this year, but still has no wives or concubines. Moreover, he is handsome and has an extraordinary bearing. This made the women of Beian flock to their king.

But today, Princess Furo came prepared.

Beian's underground water veins flow through Furo before reaching Beian. In the desert, water is more precious than gold. If Furo were to cut off the water source, Beian would face the predicament of running out of water. Originally, there was an underground river in Beian, but for some reason, the water has been decreasing in recent years, and it has almost dried up in recent months.

Caught in a bind, Xiu could only appease the princess and the others for now, while thinking of a solution later.

The party lasted until very late, and Xiu finally managed to escape the princess's entanglement and return to his palace.

At the door, Xiu dismissed the guards.

He opened the door, and a cool breeze blew in. The window was open.

Before he could think much as he entered, he was pulled into a warm embrace.

"Ann..." Xiu whispered.

"Did you miss me?" Ann closed the door behind her and hugged him even tighter.

“…Of course there is.”

“Really?” An chuckled softly, nibbling at Xiu’s neck as he asked.

“No, it’ll leave a mark.”

Xiu struggled, trying to break free from An’s embrace.

An, however, only held him tightly in his arms. “What? Afraid of being seen?” His lips moved to Xiu’s earlobe, biting hard.

Xiu’s whole body trembled. With An’s subsequent gentle bites and licks, he felt his body go limp.

“Hehe, you’re still so sensitive.” An chuckled. “I wonder if your body, accustomed to men, can satisfy that princess?”

Xiu was startled, pushing An away again, but this time An cooperated and let him go. The two faced each other.

An was about a head taller than Xiu, and he also had a handsome face. Coupled with his tall and upright figure, he was definitely the dream of women in the desert.

“You…know?” Xiu bit his lip nervously. This was his biggest worry. He hadn't thought it would happen so quickly, but who would have thought… “Xiu… have you forgotten… who I am?” An chuckled lightly.

But Xiu knew An was angry, very angry.

“An… I had no choice.”

“I know.”

An still smiled faintly, but his blue eyes were like a vast ocean, churning with turbulent waves.

“But Xiu… do you still remember our promise?”

“I remember…” Xiu’s voice trembled.

“But today you…”

“I’m sorry, but I… I…” As he spoke, tears streamed down Xiu’s face.

He looked so fragile, so helpless.

An looked at him for a long time, and finally sighed. He knew this was just Xiu’s ploy, but he couldn’t bear to see his tears.

"Alright, alright. I won't force you, but you must find a way to get rid of her. I'll also try to help you, don't cry. You're my Xiu, I can't bear to see you cry."

An hugged Xiu tightly again, "My Xiu, I love you so much... you must always be by my side... love me forever..."

"Mmm..." Xiu buried himself deeply in An's broad chest, his expression somewhat complicated. Love? Do I still have that? After you killed the person I loved most with your own hands, what right do you have to ask me for love? You know that, but you'd rather deceive yourself. And I don't care about your love, I'm just using you.

As An carried him to bed, Xiu saw the bright moon in the sky.

Moon... are you doing well in heaven...?

If we hadn't saved An seventeen years ago, would you still be alive? And I wouldn't... Moon, we once promised that I would give you a beautiful wedding; and you, you would bear me many lovely children... How wonderful that was... "Xiu, what are you thinking about?"

Having already removed all of Xiu's clothes, An bit down hard on Xiu's nipple to punish his inattentiveness.

"Ah..."

Xiu cried out in pain, but the sound was more seductive than painful.

"You're not concentrating..."

An licked the nipple that had been bitten until it bled slightly, then gently sucked on it. His left hand kneaded Xiu's other nipple until it stood erect, then he shifted his focus and kissed it... Soon, Xiu began to moan unsteadily, his body twisting in An's arms. This caused both of their body temperatures to rise quickly. "Hmm... ah, hmm... ah, ah ah..."

Xiu's seductive moans made An's blood boil. He abandoned Xiu's nipple, returned to his face, and kissed his red lips heavily.

An's tongue explored Xiu's mouth and then playfully entwined with it.

Xiu responded enthusiastically, saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth with each passionate kiss... until Xiu was almost breathless, An finally released him.

A silver thread appeared between them as An withdrew, and An smiled, licking away the liquid from Xiu's lips.

"Xiu's mouth is so sweet... even this is sweet..."

Xiu chuckled, "Nonsense!"

His smile was particularly alluring in the moonlight...

An could no longer resist, he lowered his head and began to suck and swallow Xiu's penis, while Xiu gripped the sheets tightly with both hands, his eyes glazed, constantly uttering moans... His reason was shattered by desire, all he wanted now was for the man on top of him to quickly satisfy his desire... Soon, Xiu reached his climax... panting heavily, Xiu collapsed on the bed, his mind blank, still recovering from the orgasm.

An spat the milky white liquid that Xiu had ejaculated into his mouth into his hand, then gently inserted his wet fingers into Xiu's anus... Due to the lack of intercourse for many days, Xiu's anus had become very tight.

As An attempted to insert his fingers, Xiu's body shuddered, then he regained his senses.

"Relax, Xiu... or you'll get hurt..."

"Ugh... it hurts..."

When An's index finger was fully inserted, Xiu winced in pain, "An... it hurts so much..."

"You're already in so much pain with just one finger in... Xiu, relax..."

"Ugh..."

Xiu tried to relax his body, and An, suppressing his own desire, began to carefully open Xiu's anus.

After a while, An finally managed to get three fingers to move freely in and out of Xiu's anus... An looked at Xiu, who seemed to have regained his senses, and then withdrew his fingers, replacing them with his own desire entering Xiu's body... "Ah--, um... it hurts..."

Although he had already opened up the anus, An's desire still caused Xiu to cry in pain.

An tenderly sucked away Xiu's tears, and then began to move rhythmically... Although reluctant, An couldn't hold back any longer. He thrust in and out forcefully, ignoring Xiu's cries and pleas beneath him. Now he was like a wild beast that hadn't eaten for a long time, constantly demanding and loving Xiu again and again... This lovemaking continued until dawn, and An, still unsatisfied, reluctantly released Xiu.

Xiu's eyes were red and swollen, making An feel a little guilty. It seemed he had been a bit unrestrained last night, but when he heard someone propose to Xiu, all his reason vanished. Xiu is his, and no one can take him away!

"I'm sorry..." An kissed Xiu's eyes, leaving countless delicate kisses on his face.

An looked at the sky again; it was time, she couldn't stay any longer.

An got up, dressed, left a kiss on Xiu's forehead, and jumped out of Xiu's palace through the window...

02

Just after An jumped out of the window, Xiu, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes.

Xiu sat up, staring blankly at the wide-open window. A fragrance of flowers wafted in from outside, Yue's favorite flower. Xiu remembered how he had planted this flower all over the palace to make Yue happy.

But now, whenever Xiu smelled or saw it, his heart ached... Yue... my Yue... Seventeen years ago, in this same season, on such a beautiful day, young Xiu and Yue led a horse in the stable.

Riding it, the two sneaked out of the city and ran towards Mount Newell.

Mount Newell was only half a day's journey from Beian. It was a barren cliff devoid of vegetation, a very high mountain with only one path leading up and down.

In Beian, Mount Newell was sacred, and to the children, it was mysterious, piquing their curiosity.

The two little ones reached the foot of Mount Newell around noon.

They dismounted and began searching for shade, intending to climb to the top after the afternoon's heat.

In a cave at the foot of the mountain, they found an injured and unconscious child. This was An.

An had several knife wounds.

His clothes were magnificent, no less so than Xiu and Yue's, and given the occasional appearance of desert bandits in the vicinity,

Xiu and Yue assumed An had been injured by them.

They observed that An's wounds were relatively minor, mostly superficial. Xiu had brought some medicine with him when he left the palace, originally for Yue, but it had unexpectedly come in handy.

While bandaging his wounds, An awoke.

Xiu and Yue both gave him sweet smiles.

An was startled for a moment, then relaxed his tense heart.

"I'm Xiu, and she's Yue." Xiu smiled, his eyes curving into crescent moons. "Nice to meet you."

"I'm An."

From then on, the three became friends, meeting here from time to time. Then they would go out and play together.

Compared to Xiu and Yue, An was much more mature. He knew many things that Xiu and Yue never knew. Xiu learned many useful things from An.

Yue also liked to pester An, often saying that An had the most beautiful eyes in the world, eyes as blue as the ocean.

Xiu agreed, but what he liked most were An's eyes when she was happy, because at that time, the sea in those blue eyes was calm, and that blue was a sun-kissed blue, so beautiful... Time flies, and before they knew it, the three had known each other for ten years. In these ten years, the three had happiness, arguments, and even fights (referring to Xiu and An), but no matter what, their friendship grew deeper and deeper, until that day came... One night, An asked Xiu out alone and told him not to tell Yue.

An spoke very seriously, and although Xiu had doubts, he didn't pay much attention.

The two agreed to meet on the outskirts of the city. That evening, Xiu arrived on time.

When Xiu arrived, An was already waiting there.

Xiu greeted him with a smile.

"An, did you need something?"

"Yes." An sat under a tree, looking at Xiu, his face calm as ever. But his heart was already churning with turmoil.

Xiu tied up his horse and sat down beside An.

"Go ahead, I'm listening!"

Looking at the endless rolling yellow sand before him, An remained silent.

Xiu waited for a while without An speaking, then looked at An curiously. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? If I can help, I definitely will." Xiu smiled. "We're best friends. Hehe..."

"Xiu, we've known each other for... ten... years... right..."

"Yes, ten years... how fast time flies..." Xiu sighed.

"Ten years ago, I was injured and hiding in a cave. You and Yue found me and saved me. Do you know what my first feeling was when I opened my eyes?"

"What was it?" Xiu asked curiously.

"I thought I saw an angel. So beautiful, such a gentle angel smiling at me."

"An angel...? Indeed, Yue is an angel..." Thinking of Yue, Xiu laughed even harder. "Yue is the most beautiful and gentlest angel in the world. But, An, Yue is mine, you can't take her from me..."

Before Xiu could finish speaking, An angrily pinned him to the ground.

"Xiu, I'm not talking about Yue! I'm talking about you! My angel is you! Why are you always so oblivious, always mistaking my love for friendly concern? I love you! Xiu..."

Xiu was stunned by An's words, and didn't even react when An lowered his head to kiss his cheek. It wasn't

until An's lips lightly touched his that Xiu was shocked and tried to push An away.

Only then did Xiu realize that, without him noticing, An had grown into a truly majestic desert man. He was no match for him in strength.

An gently kissed Xiu's lips, and when Xiu tried to escape, he pressed his red lips firmly against Xiu's.

Xiu clenched his teeth, preventing An from going any further, but An wasn't in a hurry. He merely nibbled and licked Xiu's lips with his teeth, and soon Xiu's lips swelled up.

Feeling breathless and unable to push An away, Xiu finally couldn't help but speak. But before he could utter a sound, An seized the opportunity to slip his tongue into his mouth… An's tongue entwined tightly with Xiu's, constantly forcing him to dance with it… Xiu had never experienced such a passionate kiss before. Although he and Yue had kissed, it was only lip to lip.

Soon, Xiu's reason was replaced by burning desire. He began to kiss An back, forgetting who was holding him now, only wanting more… After the kiss ended, Xiu came to his senses and stared at An as if looking at some demon. Xiu backed away step by step, and after hitting his horse, he quickly mounted and galloped towards the city.

An didn't stop him; he just stood there forlornly watching Xiu's figure grow smaller and smaller. A bitter smile appeared on his lips. He had long anticipated this outcome, but when it actually happened, his heart was still deeply wounded. His heart ached terribly; Xiu's departing gaze felt like a knife ripping into it. It truly hurt so much… From that day on, Xiu began to avoid An, and An, knowing his feelings, didn't press him. Caught in the middle, Yue was confused, thinking the two had quarreled. But when she asked them, neither would say anything, and Yue, with a headache, could only let them be.

Two months later, Yue's eighteenth birthday arrived. The three of them had arranged to celebrate Yue's birthday at the summit of Mount Newell six months prior. Although he desperately didn't want to see An, Xiu couldn't refuse and went anyway.

Early that morning, before leaving the palace, Xiu was stopped by his father. The king pulled Xiu aside and lectured him at length on the principles of governance, and it took Xiu quite a while to escape the king.

He hurried on his horse, afraid of upsetting Yue.

Reaching the foot of the mountain, Xiu secured his horse and hurried towards the cliff top.

Halfway there, he encountered An descending the mountain. They looked at each other, and Xiu, remembering that kiss, blushed and turned away.

"Why did you come down? Where's Yue?"

"She was waiting for you up there. She called me when you didn't come."

"Let's go up."

An didn't speak, only silently watching Xiu. Two months had passed, and Xiu was even more beautiful.

Xiu felt uncomfortable under her gaze and quickly strode towards the summit.

Xiu walked quickly and soon reached the cliff top.

There, he saw the most terrifying sight of his life: his Yue… beautiful, gentle Yue, lying on the ground, a gleaming curved knife embedded in her body. Her blood soaked the surrounding ground, and her always smiling eyes stared wide at the sky, never again showing the shyness Xiu loved so much… "Ah—!" Xiu clutched his head, kneeling beside Yue. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. His tears dripped onto Yue's face, "Yue, Yue... Yue----!" He called Yue's name again and again, but her lips would never smile in response again... Xiu held Yue in his arms, his gaze fixed on the knife. This was... Xiu could hardly believe his eyes.

"It was you! You killed Yue!" Xiu glared at An with hatred, shouting at him, "Why? Why did you kill Yue? Why..."

"I didn't." An answered calmly, "I didn't kill Yue, I had no reason to kill her. She committed suicide." An's face was indifferent, but Xiu didn't know that he was also extremely shocked, but years of training had made him used to not showing his emotions.

"What is that? Don't you know?" Xiu pointed to the knife on Yue's body, a gift from his father when An was 20 years old, which An had always cherished and never parted with. "But now…" "But why did Yue commit suicide? She had no reason to do so! I know, you're jealous. You're jealous that Yue can have my love, but you can't. You know I was supposed to propose to Yue today. So you hate Yue, and the best way to make her disappear is to kill her. Then you lied to me and said Yue committed suicide. Your intentions are truly vicious. I hate you! You murderer, I hate you!"

Xiu's words made An's whole body tremble. He gave a bitter smile. "Is that the kind of person you see? If you're convinced I killed Yue, you won't believe anything I say."

After saying that, An turned to leave.

Xiu put Yue down, drew his knife, and slashed at An. An easily dodged Xiu's attack. He snatched Xiu's knife and threw it off the cliff.

After giving Xiu a deep look, An turned and went down the mountain.

Oh, Moon, it seems you were the most powerful of the three of us. You gave your life so that Xiu and I would remember you forever, and you also gave Xiu and me no chance to be together again...

(Exclusive ending, do not repost) 03

Four years later, Xiu's father passed away, and Xiu inherited the throne, becoming the new king of Beian.

Xiu was 22 years old that year, and he and An had not seen each other since Moon's death.

The first trouble Xiu encountered after ascending the throne was that the desert bandits, who had been dormant for a long time, began to run rampant again. They had been robbing merchants near Beian, and sometimes they would plunder some places in Beian. However, unlike in the past, the bandits now only took goods and did not kill.

Xiu heard that the bandit leader had changed four years ago, and since then, few people had died at the hands of the bandits.

But now, they had become Xiu's biggest headache. Finally, Xiu decided to personally lead troops to wipe out the bandits.

But to Xiu's surprise, these bandits were no less capable in combat than his army, and they were very good at using tactics. Xiu, caught off guard, fell into a trap, and he and the few hundred remaining soldiers were trapped in a small oasis. Xiu faced an unprecedented predicament.

That night, Xiu tossed and turned in his tent, unable to sleep. He didn't know how much longer he could hold on; if he died, those who had always coveted his throne would be overjoyed.

Suddenly, Xiu felt a gaze upon him.

"Who? Who's there? Come out!" Xiu sat up.

From the darkness, a figure emerged.

"Long time no see, Xiu."

"...It's you...An..."

Xiu looked at An, whom he hadn't seen for four years. Dressed in black robes, he looked more mature and more handsome.

An was also looking at Xiu. In the years since they last met, Xiu looked thinner and more beautiful.

"Why are you here again? This isn't the cliff top from last time. If I call out, many people will rush in, and you'll be doomed."

"You won't."

"You..." Xiu glared at An, furious. He was about to call for help when An interrupted him.

"Xiu, my father died four years ago."

Xiu was confused by An's sudden words. Did this have anything to do with him?

"I inherited his position."

Xiu still didn't understand. "What are you trying to say?"

"You know that the desert bandits stopped killing four years ago, right?"

"Could it be that you…"

"Yes, I am the current leader."

"…" Xiu remained silent. This news shocked him greatly. He never imagined that An would be the leader of the desert bandits!

"So... what do you want?"

"Xiu, do you know? Your entire operation was under my control."

"You mean..."

"Yes, your relatives couldn't wait for you to die, so they came to me three months ago, hoping I would cooperate with them to get rid of you. What they don't know is that you and I have known each other for a long time. And you've always been my angel, how could I let you die?"

An walked up to Xiu, lifted his chin with her hand, her blue eyes meeting his dark eyes. "Xiu... become mine... I'm the only one in this world who truly cares for you, I would never betray you. I love you, Xiu..."

"Okay, I promise you."

Unexpectedly, Xiu readily agreed. "But I have a few more conditions."

"Speak, whatever it is, I'll agree to it."

"First, I want you to help me eliminate those who covet my throne; second, I want you to promise me that your people will no longer rob within Beian's territory."

"Okay, but I also need you to agree to a few conditions."

“Speak,” he said.

“First, I want you to be mine; second, I want you to never leave my side, I want you to love me, even if it’s just an act; third, I want you to never marry.”

“Even if it’s fake love?” Xiu asked coldly.

“As long as it’s from you, I don’t mind if it’s fake.”

“Okay, I promise you.”

“Then, let’s fulfill my first wish.” An gently kissed Xiu’s lips, then immediately left.

An took a step back, and Xiu got out of bed and stood in front of An.

Xiu slowly unbuttoned his clothes, which fluttered to the ground. Soon, Xiu stood naked in front of An.

An’s eyes scanned Xiu’s entire body, his eyes filled with heartache. “Xiu, you’ve lost weight.”

An’s hand traced Xiu’s neck, slowly moving down, lingering on his clitoris. Xiu’s body trembled slightly, his clitoris hardening at An’s touch.

An chuckled softly, his hand sliding without hesitation to Xiu's ribs, his fingers tracing the prominent ridges.

"I'll definitely fatten you up someday." His hand continued downwards until it disappeared into the dark undergrowth… Xiu's body stiffened visibly; he struggled to control himself, preventing himself from escaping. No one had ever treated him like this before. In the past, his relationship with Yue was purely platonic, at most involving kisses. After Yue's death, Xiu's heart remained utterly still.

"What? Hasn't anyone touched this place yet? Xiu, you're really innocent." An laughed happily, Xiu's purity giving him an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Soon, Xiu's penis reacted in An's hand, a clear liquid beginning to flow from its tip… At this moment, An withdrew his hand.

Xiu looked at An, puzzled, and An returned a smile.

An stripped off his clothes, revealing his muscular physique.

Knowing he shouldn't, Xiu was still deeply attracted to An's naked body.

"Hehe, is it pretty? Xiu, you like it, right? From now on, it's all yours."

Hearing An's words, Xiu blushed. An grabbed his hands, letting Xiu caress his chest.

The two sat on the bed, An leaning against the pillows. With a slight push, Xiu fell onto him.

An pressed Xiu's head to his lower abdomen. "Kiss it."

Xiu looked at the throbbing desire before him. He hesitated for a moment, but finally parted his lips and took An's member into his mouth.

"Yes... gently, don't bite... um... good, slowly, lick the tip first... good, like that... now take it all in... um... good... so good... your mouth is so hot and wet, so comfortable..."

An breathed heavily, instructing Xiu little by little. Although Xiu's movements were very clumsy, An still felt like he was being driven crazy.

Not long after, An reached orgasm in Xiu's mouth.

Caught off guard, Xiu choked, his mouth filled with the strong, metallic taste of semen. He tried to spit it out but An stopped him.

"Swallow it," An said sternly, covering Xiu's mouth with his hand until Xiu swallowed it all before releasing him.

An rolled over, and Xiu lay in An's previous position. Before Xiu could react, An skillfully took his penis into his mouth and began to suck and swallow.

An's technique was excellent; Xiu quickly became aroused.

Xiu clenched his teeth, trying not to make a sound.

Seeing this, An inserted two fingers of his right hand into Xiu's mouth. Unable to close his mouth, Xiu could only let the moans escape… Seeing that Xiu was completely lost in lust, An's tongue moved to the area below Xiu's penis.

"No…don't…"

Xiu was now completely jolted back to reality. He never expected An to lick his private parts; it was too much… An held down Xiu's writhing body, continuing without lifting his head. An's tongue probed deep into the small hole, wetting Xiu's little hole with saliva.

"No...no...it's dirty...I don't want to..." Xiu screamed frantically, tears streaming down his face.

"Why? How could Xiu be dirty? My Xiu is the best. Be good, this is for your own good. If you don't wet it properly, I definitely won't be able to get in later, and you don't want to get hurt, right?"

An's index finger began to enter Xiu's little hole, and Xiu frowned as a foreign object entered.

"It hurts..."

"Look, you can't even get in half a finger. How can you do it if you don't do it properly?" An put his finger in Xiu's mouth, "Lick it wet."

Xiu obediently did as he was told, and then, the finger, wet with Xiu's own fluids, entered Xiu's body... It took An half a night to finally get into position, but when his desire entered Xiu's body, Xiu realized what tearing pain meant.

Xiu struggled and cried frantically, and An could only try his best to soothe him. Sweat beaded on An's face and body, yet he gritted his teeth, gently thrusting in and out. He didn't want to hurt Xiu; Xiu was his precious treasure, his eternal love… A month later, with An's help, Xiu eliminated all the hidden dangers around him. An also brought his subordinates under control.

From then on, Bei'an enjoyed peace and prosperity.

"Your Majesty, have you risen?" A respectful voice came from outside the door.

Because of An, Xiu had given an order forbidding anyone from entering his bedchamber. Therefore, everyone only dared to call him from the doorway. Only when Xiu called could they enter to serve him.

"You may leave," Xiu replied. He stood up, his body aching from the excessive lovemaking of the previous night. The white fluid flowed from his anus as he rose, trickling between his legs.

Frowning, Xiu walked towards the bathroom.

Lying on the edge of the bathtub, Xiu kept calculating in his mind.

After three years, his position was very secure, and his ministers were all his confidants. An was of little use to him anymore. His bandits were useless without him as their leader. Furo now controlled the waterways of Beian, and with only one princess, the throne would inevitably pass to her husband after the old king's death.

After much deliberation, Xiu decided to eliminate An. An was already an obstacle to him, and Xiu didn't want to leave any trouble by his side. Therefore, An had to die.

A few days later, An visited again.

"Did you miss me?" An kissed Xiu in his arms.

"Of course."

"Hehe, you're so good today, let me give you a good kiss."

As she spoke, An kissed Xiu's red lips.

Xiu kissed her back with all his might, his face glazed.

An's kiss deepened, and soon, the two tumbled onto the bed.

An closed her eyes, enjoying Xiu's rare gentleness.

Now!

A cold glint flashed in Xiu's eyes. He pulled out a small knife from under his pillow and stabbed at An… An was shocked and quickly dodged. But the knife still pierced deeply into his abdomen.

Xiu rolled off the bed, and a large group of soldiers rushed in.

An pressed her wound, her face filled with sorrow.

"You want to kill me?"

"You're no longer of any use to me," Xiu replied expressionlessly.

An stared blankly at Xiu, a bitter smile on her face.

"I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"..."

"Xiu, I came today to give you something." An took out a roll from her bosom and handed it to Xiu.

Xiu didn't take it.

An placed the roll on the table. "This is a map, with the location of the new water vein marked on it, and the complete plan for the water diversion project. With this, you won't be controlled by Fuluo anymore."

Xiu still didn't speak, but his killing intent had faded, and his heart began to waver. He had thought he could kill An without mercy. But now that it was time, Xiu found himself unable to do it.

"...This time, for the sake of this map, I can let you go. But only this once, and everything between us ends here. Next time we meet, we will be enemies."

Xiu dismissed the soldiers. "Go."

"Xiu, it won't end here, even if you hate me, it doesn't matter. Because I love you, I will always love you..."

After An left, Xiu sat on the bed, leaning against the pillows, recalling everything from the past, it all felt like a dream... Xiu's feelings for An were complicated. He used to hate him so much, wishing he could kill him with his own hands. But as time passed, Xiu found that the hatred in his heart had gradually faded. An surrounded him with his love, letting him taste the love that even his father had never given him. But he was the one who killed Yue… Recently, Xiu often dreamed of Yue, and in his dreams, she always looked at him with tears streaming down her face… Xiu knew that this was Yue's way of telling him not to forget her revenge… Yue… my Yue… The next morning, Xiu summoned people and showed them the plan. Everyone thought it was a perfect plan. Xiu then ordered them to carry it out quietly. Xiu didn't want Fu Luo to know about this so soon.

But things didn't go as planned. Fu Luo's envoy bribed a minister and learned of the matter.

They tried to force Xiu with a strong tone. Already troubled, Xiu angrily rejected the marriage proposal and sent Fu Luo's envoy and princess back to Fu Luo.

A few days later, Fu Luo sent a declaration of war. The two countries officially went to war.

A week later, the battle had become one-sided, with Furo clearly in the lead, while Beian, having been without war for years, had soldiers lacking combat experience. Beian quickly suffered a crushing defeat.

Xiu, in the city, looked at the military map, his mind in turmoil.

It seemed he was still unsuitable to be king; he lacked sufficient leadership skills. If it were An… Xiu shook his head. Why was he thinking of him again? Xiu, you must remember, he is your enemy, your enemy!!!

“Your Majesty, someone outside requests an audience. He says he has a way to repel the enemy.”

“Let him in.” Xiu’s eyes lit up, and he quickly ordered someone to bring him in.

But when Xiu saw who had entered, his face immediately darkened.

“It’s you! What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh at me?”

An looked at the furious Xiu, but still returned his usual smile.

“I’m here to help you, Xiu.”

“Help me?”

“Yes, Xiu. I’ve said it before, even if you hate me, I still love you. That’s why I came, and of course, my brothers too. We can definitely help you drive the Furo people back.” Ann’s face was a little pale; it seemed he had been badly injured by Xiu that day.

“…”

“I’m sincere. This time, I have no conditions; I just want to help you. Believe me, I would never lie to you, right? Xiu…”

“Alright, on behalf of all the people of Bean, thank you.” The current situation didn’t allow Xiu to think any further; every extra person meant extra strength.

“I only need your gratitude.”

That night, Xiu convened a meeting of all the generals.

After hearing Ann’s plan, everyone admired him greatly. Xiu hadn’t expected Ann to come up with such a brilliant plan. After unanimous approval, the counterattack began the next day.

Soon, Ann’s scheme succeeded. Two weeks later, not only was Bean relieved of its predicament, but they had also advanced all the way to the outskirts of Furo’s capital.

Today was a good day, perfect weather for a decisive battle.

The bean army, their morale soaring, stormed into the capital of Furo. Inside the palace, the King of Furo was putting up a final stand.

Xiu led his men in a fierce battle. An stayed close to Xiu, fearing for his safety.

Seeing their end was near, the King of Furo snatched a bow and arrow from a guard. He skillfully nocked an arrow, drew the bowstring taut, aimed at Xiu, and fired.

Seeing this, An rushed to Xiu, shielding him with her own body to protect him from the potentially fatal arrow.

It all happened so fast; before Xiu could react, An had pulled him to the ground.

By the time Xiu was pulled from under An, the battle was over. The King of Furo had committed suicide, and An… Xiu was covered in blood—An's blood—an arrow lodged in his back, piercing his heart.

Looking at his warm hands, then at An lying on the ground, Xiu was completely stunned.

“Xiu…, Xiu…”

An called out Xiu’s name. Xiu rushed forward to help him up, letting An lean against him.

“Xiu…, no, no… cry…”

Only then did Xiu realize that he was already in tears. Seeing An vomiting blood in his arms, Xiu felt his heart ache terribly.

“An…, please, you must hold on…”

“Xiu…, you… don’t hate… don’t hate me anymore?”

Xiu was stunned by the question. Yes, didn’t he hate An? Didn’t he always hope An would die? He even wanted to kill An with his own hands.

But now, when An was really about to die, why was he crying? Why did his heart feel like it was being ripped out, so painful… “Xiu…, Xiu…, there’s something I’ve always wanted to tell you, but I know… you won’t believe me… now… I… I’m about to die… so I have to tell you…”

“Okay, tell me, tell me. I’ll listen, I’ll definitely listen…” Xiu hugged An tightly, tears streaming down his face.

"Actually...that day...on Yue's birthday, she confessed to me..."

Hearing this, Xiu was shocked.

"But I rejected her. I told her I loved you. Later, she asked me for that knife as a souvenir. I gave it to her. After that, she asked me to check if you had arrived, so I came down. You know everything that happened after that. I didn't expect her to be so extreme, willing to risk her life to take revenge on me. She knew her death would make you hate me, and she did achieve her goal...I didn't want you to know she didn't love you. I was afraid you would be heartbroken, so I'd rather you hate me..."

"Fool! Fool! You big fool!" Xiu burst into tears upon hearing An's words. Finally, he understood why his heart ached, why he couldn't stop crying. It was all because he loved An, but his desire for revenge had blinded him. He and An were the biggest fools in the world!

“An, please, don’t die. I love you, how can I go on living if you die? Please, don’t be so cruel, I don’t want to lose you so soon after I realized I love you… So, please, An… I love you… don’t leave me… An…”

“I… I’m sorry… Xiu… It seems I… can’t… stay by your side anymore… I’m sorry, Xiu… I didn’t want to, but… Xiu… forget me… find a good girl, get married, have a bunch of lovely children, isn’t that your dream? So, Xiu… forget me…”

“An… I don’t want to! I don’t want you to die… An…”

“Don’t cry… Xiu… you are my angel… my angel doesn’t shed tears… my angel is happy…”

An gently wiped away Xiu’s tears with his hand, his eyes filled with helplessness. He didn’t want to leave Xiu either, he was reluctant to part with Xiu… but this was his fate, destined that he could not stay with his beloved for life… An’s hand slowly fell to the ground, tears in his eyes, but he still smiled and closed his eyes… “No------! An-----!”

Xiu’s cry echoed above the palace, his sobs resounding through the sky… as if sensing Xiu’s grief, the originally clear sky began to rain.

Strangely, when the raindrops fell on An, his body began to move. He moved his eyelids, and after a while, he opened his eyes.

“Xiu, are you crying again…”

“An…, you’re alive! You’re alive again! That’s wonderful, it must be that I moved the heavens, and they gave you back to me. That’s wonderful…, I love you, An…”

Xiu lowered his head and kissed An for the first time.

An was happy to enjoy it and kissed Xiu passionately in return.

The soldiers who saw this scene cheered…

“Are you satisfied now, Creation!”

In the sky, where no one could see, the God of Life, holding the Box of Life in his hands, looked up and asked the God of Creation, Molacinis, beside him.

Creation nodded, “Thank you, Sheng. Consider this a favor I owe you.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”

“Okay.”

Turning back, Creation looked at the two kissing passionately below, “This is what I owed you, and now I’ve repaid it. I hope that in this life, you can live happily…”

A year later, An and Xiu got married, and the whole country celebrated. The two became the kings of Bean.

Five years later, An and Xiu adopted an abandoned baby and named him “Moon.”

With continuous conquests, Bean’s territory grew larger and larger.

Five years later, the increasingly prosperous Bean was trying to change its name to Sebert. In the Bean language, Sebert means "two kings," referring to two rulers who co-ruled. This refers to Anhexiu.

After Anhexiu's death, a strange blue flower bloomed overnight across the land of Sebert, each plant bearing two flowers.

People believed this was the incarnation of Anhexiu and called the flower "Sebert."

Centuries later, Sebert has become one of the world's most famous kingdoms, and the story of Anhexiu has been passed down, and will continue to be passed down forever…
