Chapter 94 The Mad Young Master 10

Cang Chen gazed at her quietly, as if he would never tire of looking at her.

At this moment, in the magnificent room, the city lord Cang Li suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His expression gradually darkened; the half-demon had actually broken free from his poison and the control spell left in his body.

That's a poison that's been planted in him since he was a child, and there's no cure for it. How did he manage to do that?

Then Cang Li snorted coldly, "It's just a matter of dying a few days later."

Even if he's freed, what difference does it make? Isn't he still that weak demon with little power, completely at his mercy?

The thought of Cang Chen filled him with shame. Years ago, he was poisoned by a love potion, but a snake woman cured him. He only spared her life because he was soft-hearted.

Unexpectedly, she persisted in her pursuit, making the entire family aware of his affair with a demon, and he almost lost his chance to inherit the position of city lord.

It took him so many years to clear his name, and who knew that the snake woman would even have a child with him.

A child? He was nothing but a bastard with demon blood, disgusting and shameful to him.

Bringing him back was only to save Wan'er's child, Yu Gu'an.

Gu An was weak from a young age, and it was predicted from birth that he would not live past the age of ten. His beloved woman cried every day because of this, and he could not bear it, so he began to study ancient books.

He actually found a way. Since demons have long lifespans, he could give half of his lifespan to humans. However, demons with too pure blood might reject him, so it would be best to be a half-demon.

In an instant, he thought of the being he loathed, and at that moment he didn't care about anything else, so he went and grabbed him back.

He held a banquet to let everyone in the city know that Cang Chen was a demon and part of his plan. How could such a disgusting being be worthy of the love and respect of the city's people?

That way, when he dies, no one will hold him accountable, and even if everyone hates and curses him, he won't feel guilty about anything he does.

He felt ashamed whenever he thought of Cang Chen, but fortunately, Gu An grew up day by day, and his features became more and more like his Wan'er's, and he liked him more and more.

He even planned to worsen Cang Chen's poisoning, causing him to die in his own mansion, and then dig out his snake gall to feed to Gu An.

Once he dies, he will take over Gu An as the young city lord, and Wan'er will be very happy.

Moreover, this is all Cang Chen's fault. If it weren't for his damned mother, how could he have missed Wan'er and watched her marry someone else while he was powerless to do anything about it?

Otherwise, he would have a happy family now; it's all their fault!

He has already done more than enough to let Cang Chen live for so long.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the room, and the beautiful young woman on the bed gradually awoke.

Xu Qiuqiu slowly opened her eyes and was pleasantly surprised to find that her body was no longer in pain.

Seeing that she had finally woken up, Cang Chen excitedly grasped her hand, "You're awake?"

"Ah Chen..." Xu Qiuqiu opened her mouth, only to find her throat terribly hoarse. She frowned uncomfortably, "Are you alright...?"

Even though the girl was so weak, the first thing she did when she woke up was to care about him. Cang Chen's heart softened completely. "I'm fine. Promise me you won't do such a foolish thing again, okay?"

After saying that, he took her hand, his eyes becoming especially gentle. "By the way, I still don't know your name. Can you tell me your name?"

Xu Qiuqiu stared blankly at his gentle and doting expression, an expression she was familiar with. "Achen, my name is Shui Ruoqiu..."

"Qiuqiu".

Cang Chen called out softly, as if it touched his soul, as if he had called it out countless times.

Then he looked at Xu Qiuqiu with bright eyes, "Qiuqiu, haven't we known each other before? Why do I always feel so sweet when I call your name..."

After saying that, he lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, but he couldn't bear to let go of her hand.

"Of course, Ah Chen, I came for you."

[Ding! The female lead's happiness level has increased by 10%, currently at 60%]

Upon hearing this, Cang Chen's heart raced, and a surge of joy welled up in his chest.

“Qiuqiu…”

Hearing his deep, husky voice, Xu Qiuqiu felt a burning sensation on the side of her neck. She reached out to touch it and found it was even hotter.

Cang Chen couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, "Mmm... Qiu Qiu... stop touching me..."

Hearing his strange voice, Xu Qiuqiu looked at him and found that not only were his ears bright red, but his face was also a little red.

She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Ah Chen, what's wrong? And why is my neck so hot?"

As a result, Cang Chen grabbed her hand that was touching her neck. When their eyes met, she realized that his breathing had become heavy and his eyes had become unfocused.

The boy's eyes were somewhat confused, containing a dangerous signal. He was breathing heavily, his voice hoarse, "Qiuqiu, I don't know what's wrong with me, it seems like I feel really uncomfortable whenever you touch me..."

Did I run into him?

Xu Qiuqiu looked at her hands, which were being held by him. How had she touched him?

And she didn't touch him just now, did she?

What's going on?

Looking at Cang Chen's earlobes, which were so red they seemed to be dripping blood, and the corners of his eyes, which were also beginning to redden, his usual strange smile had faded, and his eyes had become fragile and confused, making him look particularly endearing.

Xu Qiuqiu was struck by his appearance; it was just too tempting…

The sense of fragmentation is overwhelming...

She couldn't help but swallow, but she quickly shook the thought out of her mind and calmly asked him, "Ah Chen, what's wrong?"

Cang Chen couldn't help but lean closer to her, whispering in her ear, "Qiuqiu..."

Her body temperature was a little cool, and he thought that the coolness of her body would make his heat subside, but unexpectedly, his heat increased even faster after he got closer to her.

Cang Chen gripped her shoulders, speaking in a low, strained voice, his tone tinged with helplessness and grievance, "Qiuqiu... I don't know what's wrong with me..."

Hearing his helpless voice, his whole body was burning hot. Xu Qiuqiu also became anxious. Could it be that her tail scales had side effects?

She didn't understand these things, so she gently coaxed, "Ah Chen, get up first..."

She planned to ask 003 what was going on, but she couldn't bear to push him away; his dependent look softened her heart.

The system has a blocking function, so she has to get off the bed first, lest the system be blocked and she can't find 003 to ask about the situation.

Cang Chen was reluctant to let go of her, but he still obediently released her, his face still flushed, and he tried his best to suppress his agitation.

Seeing how obedient he was, Xu Qiuqiu's heart softened even more. She quickly seized the opportunity to ask 003, "003, what's wrong with A-Chen? Why is his body so hot? Is there a side effect to my tail scales?"

003: "Host, the tail scales have no side effects."

Xu Qiuqiu frowned and quickly asked, "Then what happened to A-Chen? Didn't he say he could detoxify and cure all diseases?"
