"Arthur... Arthur, you're joking, right?" Xia Linyin forced a smile and asked.

"What do you think?" Arthur asked in return, looking tenderly at Xia Linyin, his gaze filled with affection that could melt anyone's heart.

Leaning down, Arthur took a deep sniff of Xia Linyin's neck. He closed his eyes, a hint of intoxication in his expression, and sighed, "Baby, you smell so good, and you look so delicious."

He opened his eyes, stuck out his bright red tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, his smile both captivating and wicked. "What should I do, baby? I think I'm losing control of myself. I really want to devour you, to eat you up piece by piece."

The cold blade grazed Xia Linyin's cheek, and a streak of crimson blood slid down her fair skin.

Upon seeing that glaring crimson, Arthur's eyes darkened, becoming so deep and eerie that one dared not look directly at them, fearing that their souls would be sucked away by those black hole-like eyes.

He wiped the blood off Xia Linyin's face, put his fingers in his mouth, and sucked the blood off his fingertips. His already deep blue eyes became even darker, turning into an inky blue.

A slight stinging sensation came from her cheek, and she knew that Arthur was not joking, he really wanted to eat her!

A look of fear appeared on Xia Linyin's face. She swallowed hard, and her high chest heaved with her rapid breathing.

The fear welling up from the depths of her heart was even greater than when Chad dragged her out of the basement, wanting Arthur to devour her.

"I really can't hold back anymore, baby. Do you know? The fragrance you give off is so tempting, and your blood is so sweet. They're all beckoning me to devour you."

The scalpel pressed against Xia Linyin's face slowly slid down to her neck.

“I’ve never had such a weak will. It seems that when I’m with you, I easily lose control of myself and do many things that I would never do before, breaking my previous principles.”

A terrifying glint flashed in Arthur's eyes, and his smile became even more alluring and dangerous. "Baby, I hate the feeling of not being able to control myself. After I eat you, this hateful feeling will disappear."

"How should I eat you? Should I bite off a piece of flesh and swallow it whole, or should I cut off pieces of flesh and put them on a plate to enjoy slowly?"

Hearing Arthur's words, Xia Linyin broke out in a cold sweat, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her breathing became shaky.

Feeling Xia Linyin trembling, Arthur looked at her gently and comforted her, "Baby, don't worry, my knife skills are very good, I won't let you die too quickly. I will let you appreciate your most beautiful self and watch yourself slowly turn into a beautiful skeleton."

Lingchi! The word immediately popped into Xia Linyin's mind!

This time, not only was her body trembling, but her teeth were also chattering. Arthur was about to subject her to inhuman torture!

Oh my god! This is worse than just stabbing her to death and giving her a quick death!

Under the shadow of slow slicing, even death doesn't seem so terrifying, because what's more terrifying than death is living a life worse than death!

A hint of excitement flickered in Arthur's deep eyes. He said, "Baby, let's begin!"

No, no, no! She absolutely did not want to watch herself turn into a bloody skeleton!

"Yaaaa... Arthur!" Xia Linyin screamed, her black hair, soaked with sweat, clung to her snow-white skin, and tears slid down her cheeks. "Didn't you say you liked me? Are you really willing to kill me?"

Looking at Xia Linyin, who was staring at him with teary eyes, Arthur's Adam's apple bobbed. Her shimmering, tearful eyes were like glass beads soaking in a spring, so beautiful that one couldn't help but want to dig them out and collect them.

His deep, pleasant voice became a little hoarse, "What should I do? The way you are makes me want to eat you even more."

Xia Linyin: "..."

"Baby, are you tempting me?" Arthur curled his lips into a smile as the tip of his knife pierced Xia Linyin's skin, drawing out beads of crimson blood. "Then, so be it."

Upon hearing the word "temptation," a sudden flash of inspiration struck Xia Linyin. Feeling the pain in her shoulder, a wave of panic, as if she were about to be slowly tortured, washed over her. Without time to think, Xia Linyin shouted, "Wait, Arthur!"

She mustered her courage and looked directly into Arthur's eyes, gazing into the depths of his gaze. "Actually... it doesn't have to be so bloody. There's another way to eat it."

A strange light flashed in Arthur's eyes, which Xia Linyin didn't have time to catch before it disappeared. He asked with interest, "Oh? Baby, tell me, what other way is there to eat it?"

After looking at Arthur for a while, Xia Linyin suddenly reached out, grabbed the back of his head, pressed him against her, closed her eyes, and covered Arthur's beautifully curved lips with her own.

After a brief, awkward kiss between Arthur and Xia Linyin, their lips met briefly.

Arthur didn't move, letting Xia Linyin awkwardly kiss his lips. However, his eyes grew darker and darker, as unpredictable as the sea before a storm.

Not sensing any reaction from Arthur, Xia Linyin grew anxious. She cupped Arthur's face and kissed him haphazardly, leaving his handsome face covered in saliva.

Releasing Arthur, Xia Linyin sat up and began unbuttoning her pajamas one button at a time, her slender white fingers trembling violently with nervousness.

When she was halfway through untying the knot, Xia Linyin stopped, a look of struggle appearing on her face.

Thinking of Arthur's handsome looks and perfect physique, which could make him a top male escort in any nightclub, Xia Linyin comforted herself, saying that she was the one who benefited from this situation, and she didn't lose out at all.

Most importantly, she wasn't that averse to Arthur Li's touch; in fact, she quite missed the old Arthur Li who was like a block of wood.

At first, she thought that Arthur Li, who had completely changed, had been possessed by something. It wasn't until later, when she saw Arthur Li return to his old blank expression and talk to her, that she realized that Arthur Li had dissociative identity disorder.

Taking a deep breath and gritting her teeth, Xia Linyin unbuttoned the remaining buttons, pulled down one shoulder to reveal her fair and rounded shoulder.

Seeing that Arthur was still unmoved like Liu Xiahui, Xia Linyin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and angry. A surge of anger rushed to her head, and she didn't care about losing face. She took off her pajamas and threw them on the bed. After taking off her pajama pants, she jumped off the bed wearing only a pair of shorts.

Raising one leg and placing it on the edge of the bed, Xia Linyin tossed her hair and said, "I'll show you what real temptation is."

Her slender, white fingers slid slowly up her calf, not reaching her thigh, but only her knee, before Xia Linyin was pinned to the bed by Arthur like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey.
