The handsome Emperor Xiao Wu, a young emperor who should have been sitting on the throne enjoying a life of luxury, took the clay sculpting tools from the craftsman's hands and said softly.
"I'll do it..."
Chapter 21
The villain was resurrected for the fourth time (21)
The craftsman quickly said, "Your Majesty, this is rough work, I can do it myself, why do you have to do it yourself?"
Xiao Lin smiled at the old craftsman and answered without hesitation, "Because General Yu is my beloved and also a god in my heart."
Therefore, I wish to personally sculpt a clay sculpture for him, and I hope that you, Craftsman Han, will provide me with much guidance.”
Yu Tang stood on his shoulder.
Hearing this, I just wanted to cover my face.
Two months have passed, and his reputation has spread.
People went from finding it incredible at first to now accepting his existence.
Seeing him standing on Xiao Lin's shoulder was nothing new to him.
However, when the old craftsman heard Xiao Lin refer to Yu Tang as his lover, his eyes widened in shock.
“Your Majesty, my love, isn’t that a bit inappropriate? General Yu…” The old craftsman pointed at Yu Tang and said, “But he is a man.”
Xiao Lin lifted Yu Tang, who was covering his face, off his shoulder, poked the little man's head, and deliberately leaned close to him, saying, "The fact that he is a man and that I love him has never conflicted."
Since it was the emperor's order, the old craftsman dared not be negligent.
He began to diligently teach Xiao Lin how to sculpt clay figures. Because Xiao Lin had a background in drawing since childhood, sketching and drawing were not difficult for him.
The difficulty lies in controlling the three-dimensional shape of the character.
Start by practicing with plants and animals, and gradually become familiar with the use of tools. Then you'll reach the most important part.
Inside the large vat of ice, there were several jade pots filled with Xiao Lin's own blood that he had stored up over the past few days.
Late at night, when only the two of them were left in the courtyard, Xiao Lin took out the jade pot and placed it on the table, then poured Yu Tang a cup of blood.
He pushed the object forward in front of the little man: "General, you can't refuse this time."
He pointed to his face and said, "I collected so much blood over three days, and my complexion is very rosy."
If you still refuse to drink it after all this, then you're deliberately wasting my good intentions.
Yu Tang looked down at his wine glass.
His face, no bigger than a thumb, was reflected in the mirror, with a roguish smile on his lips.
He looked up at Xiao Lin and teased, "Isn't Your Majesty afraid that after I grow bigger, I'll tie you up like I said before?"
Xiao Lin was slightly taken aback, then burst out laughing.
He loosened his collar and said softly, "I've been hoping for the general to do this day and night."
Yu Tang's heart raced as he teased her, and she sat on the table, feeling somewhat excited.
It hasn't gotten any bigger in a long time.
Even though it's because the clay sculpture needs to be measured for future dimensions, the time it can only be increased is not very long.
However, being able to face Xiao Lin with a normal physique is something he is quite looking forward to.
“Then Your Majesty, please wait.” He picked up the small cup and said, “I will grant your wish right away.”
The early summer night breeze dispels the heat and brings coolness.
After drinking three jugs of bloody water, the person sitting at the table had changed completely.
With one hand behind him, Yu Tang crossed his legs, tilted his head back, and let his long hair, which was only tied up with a hairband, fall smoothly down his back. In his other hand, he held the jade pot and drank the last drop of blood. He turned his head and smiled brightly at Xiao Lin, who was staring at him in a daze.
Then, she put down the jade pot, reached out and gently hooked Xiao Lin's collar, pulling him close to her face.
The two looked at each other, and each could see a clear reflection of themselves in the other's eyes.
Focused, affectionate.
"His Majesty……"
The handsome general was no longer a child; his gentle yet resolute demeanor, mixed with an intense masculine aura, made Xiao Lin's breath catch in his throat and his cheeks flush slightly.
He heard Yu Tang speak to him gently.
"Please close your eyes."
"I'm going to kiss you now."
Chapter 22
The villain was resurrected for the fourth time (22)
Xiao Lin's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his heart was pounding rapidly.
He replied in a hoarse voice, "Okay," and obediently closed his eyes.
Her thick, dark eyelashes trembled slightly, casting small shadows on her fair face.
"Wow! Kiss him!" Little Jin's eyes lit up as she whispered excitedly in Yu Tang's mind.
Then Bai Feng covered his eyes again and pulled him in front of him.
"What's the point of watching others?" The man's voice rang in my ears, and the next moment—
Xiao Jin was then kissed by Bai Feng.
[Waaah—]
As Xiao Jin fell silent, Yu Tang turned his head and pressed down on her.
He kissed Xiao Lin's lips.
His kissing skills, honed through the trials of these worlds, were now refined enough to be delicate, gentle, and intoxicatingly tender.
Xiao Lin closed his eyes to enjoy the tender moment, but felt it wasn't enough.
He wanted more.
So when Yu Tang was about to let go of him, he grabbed the man's shoulders, pressed him against the table, and kissed him again.
A passionate, possessive kiss, followed by a separation where both were breathing heavily and their clothes were disheveled.
"Your Majesty, don't forget the important matter." Yu Tang said to Xiao Lin's reddened eyes, "We need to measure the dimensions of the clay sculpture."
"We can't waste time."
"No need for the general to remind me," Xiao Lin said seriously, "I remember everything."
Yu Tang concealed the place where he had gone for a drive again after regaining his physique and said, "So, since you remember, why didn't you go and get the ruler?"
“My hands are my ruler.” Xiao Lin held the red rope tightly in his hand and told Yu Tang very seriously, “I can start measuring now.”
Yu Tang lay on his back, somewhat bewildered: "Your Majesty, how come this is different from what we agreed on earlier?"
"It seems like you've taken over what I was supposed to do?"
Xiao Lin removed the wooden hairpin, and his clothes consisted of only a thin undergarment.
His hands rested on Yu Tang's sides, his dark hair cascading down his temples and swaying gently in the breeze. He smiled and said, "I'll release the general after I've finished the measurement. After all, if I restrain my hands now, does the general intend to take the measurement himself?"
"Uh..." Yu Tang was caught up in his words and realized that what Xiao Lin said did make sense.
But when Xiao Lin actually started taking measurements, he realized he had been tricked.
With the moon high in the sky, he no longer had the strength or the opportunity to tie Xiao Lin up.
With his black hair plastered to his sweat-dampened face, Yu Tang's mind went blank for a while.
She looked up and met Xiao Lin's captivating eyes. Ignoring his previous behavior, his gaze was now incredibly tender and affectionate.
It's even the kind of sweetness that's almost unbearable.
At this moment, Yu Tang felt so fortunate that she wanted to cry.
He had been living in constant fear. After all, if the time it took for his blood to revert to its original form was inconsistent, he might already be in the next world meeting the little devil...
Trying to break free from the wild thoughts in his mind, Yu Tang resignedly hung his head in dejection and pretended to be a quail.
Xiao Lin was in a great mood after eating and drinking his fill. He kissed Yu Tang's forehead and asked him, "General, are you still bothered that I took away what you were going to do?"
"I don't care anymore." Yu Tang could only lie there and mutter, "All I know is that my back hurts."
"I'm sorry, General, it's my fault." Xiao Lin pursed his lips, not daring to laugh too loudly.
He reached out and massaged Yu Tang's lower back.
"Let me rub it for you, it will make you feel better."
Yu Tang narrowed his eyes slightly, let out a comfortable breath, and was about to say something when he suddenly turned back into his tiny form.
Xiao Lin was also startled, and staggered forward before quickly regaining his balance to avoid crushing Yu Tang.
The two looked at each other, and Yu Tang's lips twitched.
"What are you standing there for, Your Majesty?" Annoyed by Xiao Lin's physique, he couldn't stand seeing Xiao Lin idle. Waving his short arms, he said, "Keep rubbing! Keep going until I'm satisfied!"
It waved its arms a few times, its face turning red and then black, then let out a howl and shouted, "I want to take a bath! Help me take a bath!"
It was rare for Xiao Lin to see him act so childishly and throw a tantrum.
She could only laugh and coax him, doing her best to massage him, and then she brought a bathtub so she could take a bath with Yu Tang.
Just as Yu Tang was comfortably nestled into bed, her cheek pressed against Xiao Lin's, ready to rest, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Xiao Lin, "Your Majesty, have you taken the measurements?"
In his memory, Xiao Lin had been so engrossed in his reckless behavior that he hadn't even taken out any paper or ruler.
What if he really couldn't measure it? Wouldn't we have to drink blood again?
"General, don't worry." Compared to Yu Tang's anxiety, Xiao Lin seemed much more relaxed.
He tapped Yu Tang's head with his finger: "I've said it before, the ruler is my hand, and the heart is my paper. After this night of exploration, I've memorized all those things."
"Just you wait and see what I do tomorrow."
