Chapter 61 Xiao Shenjing had never been so out of control.

For a moment, Xiao Shenjing didn't know what expression to make.

Yunxi, however, seemed to feel itchy and kicked him with a drunken laugh.

Xiao Shenjing, with a stern face, threw Yunxi onto the soft couch, determined not to interfere any further.

But just as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of her bath towel falling apart, revealing most of her snow-white skin.

His eyes darkened instantly, and memories of the previous night flooded back.

Because she was a martial artist, Yunxi's waist was slender yet not weak; it was very flexible and strong, allowing her to climb and bend at will.

Even though he knew about sex, he had no interest in touching women.

He used to be a prince, and even though he wasn't close to his ministers, he couldn't avoid hosting banquets.

He had been to brothels before, but the scantily clad dancers and singers, so charming and submissive, lying obediently beside him, did not arouse any interest in him at all.

Because of his background, he was actually somewhat disgusted by such things.

But not now. Xiao Shenjing easily felt the fire surging in his lower abdomen.

Yunxi was his woman, and he had no intention of restraining himself. He turned around and pulled her into his arms again.

The sudden lift made Yunxi let out a soft "hmm," her voice nasal and unusually gentle.

Seeing her nestled in his arms, her cheeks flushed and looking so docile, Xiao Shenjing couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips before he even reached the bedside.

Her lips were so soft that it made you want to savor them and see what they tasted like.

He lowered his head again, pried open her lips without hesitation, and tasted the sweet juice from her lips, which also carried a hint of intoxicating alcohol.

The thought that the wine was brewed by her and another man made Xiao Shenjing turn his displeasure into punishment.

He deepened the kiss, forcefully stirring and sucking on her tongue.

Because of the pain on her tongue, Yunxi couldn't help but make a sound.

The groan that exploded in his ear made Xiao Shenjing's breathing quicken for a moment, and he involuntarily increased the force with which he sucked on her lips.

Yunxi was not able to open her eyes completely.

At this moment, Xiao Shenjing had already carried her to the bedside. Just as he was about to put her down, Yunxi suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck.

Before he could react, she suddenly nuzzled against his cheek and kissed his ear with a smile.

Xiao Shenjing's expression suddenly froze.

Then, Yunxi, as if eating candy, took his earlobe into her mouth and licked it.

The young emperor's body stiffened violently, and his breathing became disordered at that moment.

As if she found his earlobe delicious, Yunxi licked it haphazardly, making a mess of saliva everywhere.

The unfamiliarity only fueled a bigger fire.

After placing her on the bed, Xiao Shenjing pulled off the towel wrapped around her.

The unobstructed beauty suddenly unfolded before my eyes.

He was breathing heavily as he leaned down to kiss her while untying his belt.

Whether it was because she was too drunk or because she had learned from experience, Yunxi no longer avoided responding like she had last time. Instead, she responded to his kiss very proactively and enthusiastically.

She looked so beautiful when she was moved.

Her whole body was covered in a thin layer of pink.

Her eyes, brimming with spring water, gazed at him half-closed, stretching her neck to respond to his tongue.

When she couldn't take it anymore, she would pant and hug him, letting her soft body press tightly against him.

It seemed to bloom completely for him.

This sent chills down Xiao Shenjing's spine, and he felt as if all the blood in his body was rushing wildly.

The moment she was completely submerged, Yunxi's eyes widened. Even in the heat of passion, she was still unable to control herself.

It was simply because Xiao Shenjing's size was excessive.

Instead of feeling uncomfortable, Xiao Shenjing gently kissed her, moving down her neck and giving her enough time to adjust.

After a while, Yunxi finally got used to it.

She looked at Xiao Shenjing in a daze, her eyes no longer filled with disgust and resistance, but with light.

She looked at him with a blazing light.

At that moment, Xiao Shenjing felt exceptionally satisfied.

Then came their ruthless demands.

"Yunxi"

Hearing the call, Yunxi opened her eyes and saw a youthful face, handsome and good-looking, with even her earlobes stained red.

She felt a tingling, soft sensation, yet she still couldn't resist teasing him.

I want to do something even worse to bully him.

She sat up, supporting herself on his chest, turned over, and kissed him down his Adam's apple.

Xiao Shenjing had never experienced such a thrilling feeling before, one that drove him to madness and loss of control.

He never expected Yunxi to be so bold.

As he trembled, he felt her soft, hot hands were so incredibly arousing, almost ecstatic.

Yunxi was very pleased to see Ding Xian's cheeks flushed red, and his eyelashes seemed to tremble for a moment.

so cute.

She wanted to go even further with him, but she didn't have the strength left.

When she withdrew her limp hand, Xiao Shenjing could no longer bear it and turned over to sit up.

The exhilarating excitement made them both feel right at home.

Yunxi had always called him a madman, but only now did Xiao Shenjing realize that he might really be insane, that he couldn't get enough of everything.

In those burning eyes, the young emperor had never been so out of control.

He wished he could press her into his very bones to feel even a little bit of relief.

Until, at the height of his passion, as he passionately kissed every part of her body, Yunxi recovered from the afterglow and pushed his head away, saying, "Ding Xian, no more, no more."

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, a chill ran straight to his heart. Xiao Shenjing suddenly looked up, staring at Yun Xi in disbelief, and asked, "Who are you calling?"

Yunxi closed her eyes, feeling both tired and drunk.

"Yunxi!" Xiao Shenjing was furious. He grabbed Yunxi's chin and forced her to wake up. "Who did you call just now? Who do you think I am?"

He was so angry that the veins on the back of his hands bulged slightly, and his jawline resembled a bowstring stretched to its limit.

"Ding Xian," Yunxi winced and patted his arm, saying through her drunkenness, "Stop fooling around."

"Yunxi!" His voice was almost a growl of anger.

So, her initiative and her emotional outburst tonight were all because of that man named Ding Xian?

The night before, she called Xu Yuansi's name, and he knew she was deliberately trying to provoke him.

He knew her temper, so he didn't hold it against her.

But tonight, she didn't do it on purpose while drunk.

So even though she knew it was an aphrodisiac, she willingly drank it.

She deliberately wanted to do such intimate things with Ding Xian.

At that moment, a hint of bloodshot appeared at the corner of Xiao Shenjing's eyes.

The grip on her chin tightened involuntarily.

Yunxi groaned and winced in pain.

Staring at the red marks left by her pinching, Xiao Shenjing shoved her chin away with a look of disgust.

He pursed his lips, his hunched back taut to the extreme.

He felt a raging fire surging through his body, tearing his internal organs apart; it was anger, but there was more to it than that.

This fire scorched his internal organs, like boiling lava; he could neither distinguish nor wanted to distinguish it.

He stared at her, who seemed completely unaffected, gritting his teeth, his rage reaching its peak.

Yu Yunxi, oblivious to everything, fell asleep contentedly.

Yunxi has a high alcohol tolerance, so she woke up relatively early the next day.

I felt sore all over after just a little movement, and in addition to the pain of being split open, my lower body also felt sticky and uncomfortable.

It's not dry at all.

She stared at the mosquito net, managing to vaguely recall what had happened the previous night, though only in fragmented pieces. In her dizzy state, she thought it was Ding Xian...

But why is Ding Xian here?

She suddenly came to her senses and looked into the house.

He immediately saw Xiao Shenjing sitting on a chair by the bed.

The morning sunlight lay prostrate at his feet, refusing to penetrate even an inch further.

Half bright, half shadowy.

He sat there in the shadows, just a step away from the light, his brows furrowed, staring intently at her.

They were really watching.

Those phoenix eyes held a turbulent darkness, cold and fierce.

"What are you doing?" Yunxi asked, her heart skipping a beat.

Xiao Shenjing stared at her, then suddenly smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, making it seem too cold and dangerous.

Yunxi sensed something was wrong. When she tried to get up, she discovered that her hands had been tied up without her noticing.

"Xiao Shenjing, what are you going to do?" she asked warily.

She did act impulsively last night; she shouldn't have drunk the whole jar of wine.

She genuinely disliked Xiao Shenjing's demeanor, but she also used a clever trick: she spilled most of the wine on herself.

And this would also be a good opportunity to pass the note to Xiao Bei. After all, Xiao Bei was a servant and also possessed martial arts skills, making it easier for him to sneak out than for her.

Although she knew it was somewhat risky, she absolutely did not want to become pregnant with Xiao Shenjing's child.

She was willing to gamble for that.

She simply underestimated the intoxicating power of the new wine.

Seeing that Xiao Shenjing was just staring at her without saying a word, Yunxi couldn't help but ask again, "Xiao Shenjing, what exactly do you want to do?"

After a few breaths, he suddenly said, "Some birds are born to be caught and locked in golden cages, so they won't forget who their owners are."

He lifted his thick eyelashes to look at her, his gaze venomous, his eyes filled with shattered ice.

"What's gotten into you this early in the morning?" Yunxi asked, frowning in displeasure.

She tried to break free, but found that she couldn't.

Every time I exert myself, I can feel discomfort in my body.

Recalling what might have happened last night, and realizing she was completely naked, Yunxi grew even angrier, her almond-shaped eyes flashing with fury. "Xiao Shenjing, let me go right now!"

"Young Master, everything is ready." In the suffocating silence, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

It was Dao Er's voice.

After hearing this, Xiao Shenjing slowly stood up from his chair.

He walked step by step toward the bed.

His steps were calm and composed, but his gaze towards Yunxi was like that of a wild beast about to lose control.

Not knowing what was wrong with him, Yunxi felt a sense of danger and instinctively wanted to run away, but as soon as she struggled to sit up, she felt a chill on her chest.

Looking down, she realized she was completely naked and covered in marks. She immediately froze, as if her acupoints had been struck.

Xiao Shenjing, however, did not move his eyes and walked over slowly.

The gloomy aura surrounding him was like the calm before a storm.

"What exactly do you want to do?" The inescapable constraints left Yunxi completely uncertain.

Not wanting him to see that she was at a disadvantage, she could only sit upright.

When Xiao Shenjing lifted the blanket, Yunxi trembled.

The shame of being completely naked made her kick him a moment slower.

But it was this momentary hesitation that allowed Xiao Shenjing to pull her up easily from the bed with a strong grip.

Seeing that he was about to pick her up and head towards the door, Yunxi struggled desperately, shouting, "Are you crazy? What are you trying to do?"

Does this madman really want her to meet people like this?

The thought of this possibility sent Yunxi's blood rushing to her head.

Just as she was thinking of a thousand ways to kill Xiao Shenjing, he walked to the clothes rack of Huang Huamu, tore off a black cloak, and wrapped it around her.

His cloak was long enough for Yunxi to easily wrap herself up in it.

Seeing Yunxi's angry eyes, he even slowly put the hood of his cloak on her.

In this way, no outsider can even see a single hair on your head.

At this moment, his eyes and brows looked indifferent, revealing little emotion.

Yet, for some reason, it felt like the calm before a storm.

Yunxi couldn't bear the humiliation of being controlled and powerless. With her legs held by Xiao Shenjing, she couldn't exert any strength. She tried to shake the ropes off, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't.

There's no way to break free.

Xiao Shenjing glanced down at her.

He knew what she was doing, but he didn't stop her at all.

It was clear that she could not escape.

Yunxi closed her eyes, bit her lip hard, and asked, "What do you want in return for letting me go?"

Xiao Shenjing did not answer her with a single word.

Instead, he pushed open the door without hesitation.

The sunlight surged in wildly, and Yunxi's body trembled almost imperceptibly.

Even though she was wrapped in a cloak, the panic of being completely naked underneath still made her as tense as a bowstring stretched to its limit.

Outside the door, guards stood in a long line.

Even though they clearly didn't dare to look up, Yunxi still felt that everyone's eyes were on her.

Never before had she felt like this, like a snake whose vital spot had been grabbed, and she dared not move an inch more.

She even had to rely on Xiao Shenjing.

Only by relying on him could they keep their cloak from slipping off and preserve the last shred of their dignity.

Unbearable.

Xiao Shenjing seemed completely unfazed by her tension, holding her as they descended the steps calmly and steadily.

Only the jawline is taut like a sharp line.

Yunxi didn't know what she had done to anger Xiao Shenjing last night, that he would humiliate her like this.

She didn't want to think about it; it was definitely not her fault, and she would never change.

Otherwise, it would be better to die, taking Xiao Shenjing with him.

The hatred in her eyes was like boiling water, but when she saw the group of people standing silently in the lobby on the first floor, she had to swallow all her anger and resentment.

In the blink of an eye, her face lit up with a radiant smile, and she called out in a clear, crisp voice, "Godmother!"

"Yunxi!" Hongxiu called her name and came over.

She had only taken two steps when Xiao Shenjing lifted his eyelashes and gave her a cold stare.

That one look was so oppressive that it froze Hongxiu in place, preventing her from taking another step beyond the forbidden zone.

Yunxi seemed oblivious, still smiling, "Godmother, I'll write to you when I get back to the capital."

“Okay.” Hongxiu nodded, looking at Yunxi who was being held in Xiao Shenjing’s arms. She wanted to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back.

Yunxi glanced at Xiaobei and saw him nod casually. Her heart immediately relaxed, and she looked at the others. "Uncle Cai, where are my steamed buns? Uncle, I'm leaving soon, didn't you make any for me?"

Uncle Cai nodded immediately, looking reluctant.

"It's all done, all packed and placed in the back of the carriage. Remember to eat it."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Yunxi smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Uncle Cai couldn't help but complain, "We just made Yun a little chubby, and now she's leaving again."

"What are you saying? Yunxi is going there to enjoy a life of luxury," an older woman nearby immediately said.

Yunxi chimed in, "That's right, I'm going back to the Forbidden City. There are plenty of delicacies there. I'll make sure I'm well-fed and plump when we meet again, so you won't not recognize me."

"Haha, how could we not recognize you? Many of us have watched you grow up!"

"Yes, don't forget about us in the future."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Our Yun girl isn't that kind of person."

Looking at the familiar faces, Yunxi felt a lump in her throat, but she had to force a smile. "Don't worry, it definitely won't happen. I'll definitely come back to see you all in the future."

At this moment, Yunxi had countless things to say, but Xiao Shenjing clearly lost patience, picked her up, and turned to leave.

Yunxi wanted to say goodbye, but she couldn't even wave.

She could only try to smile and make herself look very, very good.

It's as if returning to the Forbidden City was truly voluntary, and that they were genuinely going back to enjoy a life of luxury.

Yes, the magnificent Forbidden City, the most prosperous place in the world.

How could anyone not like it?

The smile on Yunxi's face vanished the moment the carriage curtain was lowered, blocking her view.

She laughed until she was tired and stopped struggling.

She had no idea what method Xiao Shenjing would use to torment her this time.

She didn't speak, and the air in the carriage seemed to stop flowing, becoming stagnant and oppressive.

At first, Yunxi could hear the sounds of people and vendors outside the carriage. The bustling morning market was her favorite place to visit.

But after today, will she ever be able to come back again in this lifetime?

She lowered her eyelashes.

She thought it would continue like this until she left the city, but soon she heard the surrounding noise gradually fade away.

Then she heard a man say, "Your subject Ding Huaiyuan, leading the entire Ding clan, respectfully welcomes Your Majesty's divine might."

Then came a unified and deafening voice: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Yunxi's eyes widened suddenly.

The entire Ding family.

Ding Xian

Xiao Shenjing actually brought her to the Ding residence when she was in such a vulnerable state?
