There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!
Chapter 122: Skin (1)

Chapter 122: Skin (1)

What will be the consequences of ingesting a Mana Stone? This question apparently has the most obvious answer. Just like any gems like diamonds, sapphires and even the most common pebble that you will see on the ground. Mana Stone is- well, a rock. It’s not meant to be eaten nor was it possible to be chewed due to its hardness that is only second to diamond.

For this reason, Nero couldn’t help but stare open-mouthed at Xagrien. He can’t be wrong. This guy actually chewed a Mana Stone!

"This brat! Do you know that it’s more than a century since I kept that safe? Spit it out, right now!" Cried the poor old Feren. "That is the mana stone that he got from the Rinoia Kingdom!"

The place from where his father met his mother! The western kingdom of Dwarves!

Thick golden lights started to emit from the old man’s body and just from the sight of it. Luis knows that Feren was a peak-level four-star warrior.

That level that is just below him, as the moon elf lord.

He bets that even though Xagrien’s strength is constantly improving as of late, he still can’t hold the candle against an experienced veteran like Feren.

Xagrien will be flattened like silicon when pressed with hot metal.

’I can step in between them once things turns to worst but it would be best if nothing happened at all!’

"Master Feren, please calm down your horses! Breathe in. Breathe out." Luis tried his best to calm the man down.

But the old man didn’t show signs of budging, he is so ready to start a brawl.

"My lord, This is a very personal thing for me," the golden eyes behind his messy hair conveyed stubborness.

Luis is not a jerk to just say that he will go look for a new Mana Stone for Feren. The memories contained in that stone must be irreplaceable for the poor master to cherish it for years!

’Holy shit, what should I do? What made Xagrien eat that mana stone?’ Luis wanted to grab his hair in frustration. Or maybe he can grab his damn boyfriend’s hair since this ordeal was caused by him!

"Xagrien, what-" Luis turned to look at the male beside him and instantly realized that something was wrong with him.

Xagrien was breathing heavily and his eyes looked unfocused.

Feren noticed it too so he decisively retracted his powers and said in a rough yet subtly concerned tone, "Hey, what is wrong with you, brat?"

He was mad but not to the point of being apathetic. The youngster is obviously in a terrible state so he said, "Taking minerals that are not meant to enter your body through ingestion is hazardous, boy."

But the youngster didn’t say anything, nor did he appear to be able to respond.

Xagrien’s face was flushed as though all the blood rushed in his face and a rich amount of sweat was running on his face like waterfalls.

Today’s weather was rather chilly, therefore this state of Xagrien was questionable.

He was okay just a moment ago, so what caused this? An idea hit the moon elf lord and he is beyond frightened.

"This jerk!" Luis snappily stood up. "Throw it up!" What if this was a symptom of poisoning?!

The moon elf lord moved almost to the speed of sound when he went to Xagrien’s back.

He circled his arm around Xagrien’s abdomen to perform Heimlich Maneuver, it may usually be used as first aid for choking, but this method is also a way to induce vomiting.

"Xagrien, do not fight it and force yourself to vomit the mana stone!" Luis instructed his palm are getting sweaty.

If it was a normal day, then Luis will become horny because of their suggestive position.

But this isn’t the right time for that!

The male at this point is visibly looking a little lost and he was panting harder than earlier.

’Damn! I need to do this quickly!’ Luis was panicky when he instructed the two worried men and husky to give them space so Xagrien could have proper ventilation.

The two expressed their obedience.

"Understood, my lord!"

"This brat is indebted to me after this, my lord. Please make sure that he is capable of paying what is due once everything is fine."

Luis is not in the mood to respond. He was worried as hell so he remained focused on the male.

Seriously! This male god is so good at making him lose his composure!

"You should really be thankful that I love you or else I will get tired of your crazy stunts!" Luis distractedly whispered against Xagrien’s muscled back, the male was wearing leather armor but he could still smell the natural scent permeating through the stiff clothes, tickling the moon elf lord’s senses.

Luis was oblivious to the fact that aside from his, someone’s desire was ignited from this simple "back hug".

The warmth that he gave for the male became a tinder that set someone’s feelings ablaze and Luis is bound to suffer in pain and pleasure later on.

But that is not the current issue that needs his attention.

Luis was so caught in the moment that he failed to mind his own words.

In the middle of the booming of his heartbeat, he was readying himself to do the maneuver when suddenly, Xagrien broke away from his embrace and he found himself getting carried by the patient’s arms.

"My lord!!"

"This bastard!

The moon elf lord is not the only one in shock. Feren and Nero are also caught off guard by the suddenness of Xagrien’s action.

One moment, he was weak and the next, he was energetic enough to lift a fully grown bearer?

Absolutely unbelievable!

Feren’s concern for the youngster flew out of the window and he cannot help but react due to envy.

"Are you faking it to brag that you have the moon elf lord?! I’m telling you I will make sure to make you pay for today’s loss!"

The old man ranted. The veins on his neck were screaming with him, like any moment it would pop out.

However, Xagrien who is in a mysterious state doesn’t mind any of it, his thoughts were stuck on the body heat coming from the moon elf lord. Others may be in the gray, Xagrien’s subconsciously craving for this and his attention was solely on the bearer in his arms.

Feren’s words practically entered his right ear then they went out on his left.

No one knows what is going on inside Xagrien’s head. Even him, he might be clueless as the sleeping instincts inside him was slowly and silently awakening.

Luis is still concerned about the man because Xagrien’s unresponsiveness is different than usual. His purple eyes reflect storms that Luis cannot explain, all he knows is that Xagrien was in a daze.

"What is happening, handsome? Put me down now and I need to treat you before your condition gets worse." Luis tried to sound gentle, trying to caress the sleeping consciousness of Xagrien.

But the male didn’t answer him at all. Instead, his lover only tightened his embrace and before he knew it, Luis felt the cold breeze of the air slapping on his face.

"Xagrien!" That is all he can say as he found that they are speeding towards the deeper part of the woods.

On the other hand, Feren tried to run after the two, worried that something would happen to the two young moon elves.

"No, Master Feren!" Nero quickly used his body to stop the old man.

"The moon elf lord has the power to treat him and only the two of them can handle each other!" Nero said, referring to the power of his lord to heal and the strength of the couple. Even if harm comes their way, it is obvious that there’s nothing that could stop the two of them.

"What do you-" the perverted old man asked but stopped midway. In his dirty mind, he thought that the two will surely do the "activities" that mates do in private.

That kid really had great luck!

"Fine!" The old man turned his back to hide his envy. "Make sure that I will be satisfactorily compensated after this!"

His eyes strayed to the running back of the young man when he suddenly felt something that is eerily familiar energy coming from the couple’s direction.

"Isn’t this pure mana?" Feren stared at Xagrien’s back. It may be years since he felt this leaking raw energy but he is quite sure what it was. ’Only that, this one seems to be stronger than my father’s.’

~~

To say that Luis is not afraid of what is going on was a big lie. Since he was caught in an embrace by his lover, of course he is aware of all the changes happening in Xagrien.

Earlier, Xagrien was panting and sweating but now that is not the only thing that he could observe. Luis could feel the loud beating of Xagrien’s heart.

And this is not a good sign, Xagrien is wearing thick leather armor today so this should have muffled the sound, but it didn’t.

"Xagrien! Stop! You are unwell!" Luis decisively jumps himself away from Xagrien’s arms.

Something weird is happening in Xagrien’s body. That is what his intuition tells him.

Feeling the emptiness, in his arms Xagrien stopped and looked Luis directly in the eyes.

It may be momentary but Luis saw something flashing in Xagrien but Luis couldn’t come up with the right word to describe it.

The male god’s purple eyes looked predatory as if he was looking at him like prey. Strong and domineering that vibe that Luis was getting from his man.

Luis felt his knees turning slightly soft like jelly.

’What the hell?’ The moon elf lord couldn’t believe that Xagrien’s stare could suppress him. Even that Lord Isami didn’t make him feel threatened and yet Xagrien can make his knees buckle with just one look?

Luis thought of what Feren said, half-bloods will get some traits from both parents. If Xagrien is like what he thought, then does this dominance that Xagrien shows a characteristic of his father?

Who could possibly make him feel threatened?

Luis was confused for a while but thinking that Xagrien is his boyfriend made him muster some courage.

"What is wrong Xagrien? Tell me. Remember that we promised to be honest with each other? This is one of the times that need honesty for both of us. I want to help you," Luis’ genuine heartfelt words.

The feelings that these simple words provoked shot straight to the confused head of Xagrien, helping him to temporarily regain his consciousness once again.

"You’re finally thinking straight now?" Luis asked upon seeing that the light in Xagrien’s eyes regained once again.

He tried to step forward to be near Xagrien, but the male took a step back.

"What the hell?" Luis couldn’t help but cuss as a question to this weird behavior.

"Luis, I-I don’t know how to say it, I don’t feel like I’m myself," Xagrien said with great difficulty. He looked as if he was suppressing something from within. "There is something inside me that influences me to act wildly according to my deepest desire."

Xagrien covered his face with his two big hands and rubbed it as if it will wake him up. "I felt like my entire body is on fire and there was only one way to control and put out this flames. You, Luis. I desire you, moon elf lord."

A veil of smoke suddenly emitted on Xagrien’s body and there, Luis knew that this is not just an aftereffects of ingesting the mana stone. That is just a catalyst that triggers something greater.
