【The protagonist who only wants to die VS The destined lord with a bad temper】
Duan Jiuyou, the Heavenly Realm Ancestor of 78 million years, is tired of living!
Ever since she was 9,000...
I've read Chapter 114 before!
The old ancestor was determined to die.
This man is like a possessed ghost! Despite being so badly injured, he still exudes a wanton and frivolous air. It's as if they weren't just applying medicine, but had just experienced a passionate and tender lovemaking session. He's slightly tired, yet he doesn't forget to tease her.
Duan Jiuyou reacted as if burned, quickly trying to get up, saying anxiously, "I miss you, I must be in so much pain! The medicine's been applied, you rest for a while, I'll go see if the food's ready, why isn't it ready yet—"
She tried to leave, but Di Jiang wouldn't let her go. He grabbed Duan Jiuyou's wrist and gestured for her to look at her lower abdomen.
His voice was slightly hoarse, and he sounded a little tired.
"Is it enough to just pile this medicine up like a small mountain on the wound? Spread it out a bit more, there are still some areas that haven't been treated yet."
Duan Jiuyou turned his gaze back to his abdomen.
It really doesn't look right to just leave that pile of medicine powder lying around like that.
So she moved her hand over and gently touched it. He tensed up, and when he tensed up, her heart skipped a beat, her face burned, and her ears burned too!
Unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, I closed my eyes and laid it out in one go! Then I heard another hiss.
"Be gentle."
What do you mean by "lightly"?! If you're any lighter, I'll be so embarrassed I'll die right here!
Duan Jiuyou spread out the medicinal powder and was about to leave again, but he held her hand. She wanted to shake him off, but seeing the whip marks on his hand, she couldn't bring herself to do it. Helplessly, she sat back down next to him.
You need to rest!
She reminded him.
"Rest at home? My injury would be excruciating without you. I don't feel any pain when you're here. As long as you're sitting next to me, I don't feel any pain anywhere."
He slowed his breathing, gradually relaxed his body, and his hand, which was gripping her wrist, was covered in cold sweat.
She knew he was in pain, and she knew he was putting on a brave face. She should have left without a care, but that weak hand seemed to possess a magical power, silently locking her in place, preventing her from pulling away.
As the pain subsided, Di Jiang looked at Duan Jiuyou and asked with amusement.
"What were you thinking about just now?"
Once you get past the most painful phase, your mindset changes.
I wanted to tease her, I wanted to see her blush.
After Dragon Breath Mountain, the two were never as close as they were today. No matter how painful or severe his injuries were, he could ignore them. His heart was filled with her, and all he could see was her.
Duan Jiuyou's face turned as red as boiling water. He hated himself for being so blinded by lust and thinking such nonsense! His mind was in turmoil, and his words came out incoherently.
"I didn't have any bad intentions, don't overthink it! I was just looking at the silk belt around your waist, it looked really nice, and I noticed it was nice!"
"Look at your belt?" Di Jiang chuckled, pointing to his clothes: "This one?"
Duan Jiuyou glanced at it quickly and immediately looked away.
"yes!"
"Shall I take it off and give it to you?"
He made a move to untie her, which startled her. She tried to stop him, only to find Di Jiang looking at her with a mocking expression. Annoyed, she decided to give up entirely.
"You have a great figure! You look so radiant even when you're injured! What's wrong with looking? It's not like we haven't seen it before!"
"Watch it if you like, when have I ever been stingy with you?"
Di Jiang appeared relaxed, though he was smiling, his expression was extremely serious.
"Jiuyou, you still have feelings for me, right?"
Duan Jiuyou frowned, staring intently at him as if he harbored a deep-seated hatred for him.
The feud between the two ran too deep; even killing wouldn't have been enough to quell the anger. He had stolen half of her heart; no matter what she did or thought, half of her was always thinking of him.
She was both angry and in love with him, and even considered leaving him. But then she thought, wouldn't that be even worse?
His feelings for her are genuine. If he made a mistake, let him correct it, make him behave well, and let him pursue her again!
She had been pondering this matter for several days, and now that he had brought it up today, she might as well admit it openly as well. Tilting her head, she looked up and asked, "Youqing, what's wrong?!"
Wow, they love so fiercely.
Di Jiang felt a sudden sense of relief. He knew she had feelings for him, but the weight of that "feeling" coming from her own mouth was different from his own guesses.
Ignoring his injuries, Di Jiang pulled the other man closer into his arms and said, "Shall we make up?"
"Of course not!" Duan Jiuyou refused decisively and quickly distanced himself from him. "Nothing in this world is that easy. If you're wrong, you have to correct it. After you've corrected it, we'll see how you behave. Only if you behave well can we make up."
After speaking, he seemed to remember something, straightened his chest, and gave a slightly disdainful look.
"There are other handsome men in this world besides you. Just because I haven't broken off my feelings for you now doesn't mean I can't in the future. It's just that I'm thinking about how this relationship has been so intense, and I want to try to salvage it. If you really can't change your bad habits, I'll just find someone else. Haven't I, Duan Jiuyou, changed men a lot? You'll die young, not as long as I will. Maybe I'll stop caring about you as I get older. There's no emotion that time can't dilute, including yours. You're only feeling resentful now because you can't have me. Resentment and love are two different things. Maybe you haven't even figured that out yourself."
Di Jiang smiled, but upon closer inspection, there was no smile in his eyes. The words that followed did not seem to come from Duan Jiuyou's mind.
He pulled the person into his arms again. He was injured and his face was naturally a bit haggard, but the haggardness did not hide his good looks. His eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of sharpness that was not easily detected.
"Who taught you to say these things?"
His tone was gentle, like the coaxing of lovers.
The people who taught her didn't guide her onto the right path; what kind of heartless and ungrateful nonsense were they spouting?!
What does it mean to be unwilling? What does it mean to just switch partners like that? No matter how many men Duan Jiuyou has, can they compare to him?
Jiuyou spoke arrogantly.
"Never mind who taught her that, I think she's right!"
"You're talking about Chen Xinyue, right?" Di Jiang guessed right away.
During this time, only the two of them were together, and they must have had a lot of private conversations.
Chen Xinyue looks shrewd, but her mind is actually muddled. Chen Yunzhou told Di Jiang that Chen Xinyue often buys books about husband management and learns all sorts of random things. Now it seems that she has also taught Duan Jiuyou these random things.
Duan Jiuyou said, "So what if it's her? Is what she said wrong? You can't spoil men, the more you spoil them, the more scoundrels they become. Old Chen in their family is the type who never learns from his mistakes."
"Not entirely." Di Jiang coaxed patiently. Some things could be said along with her words, but others needed to be made clear: "I have no resentment towards you, only a sincere heart. It was wrong of me to lie to you, and I regretted it terribly afterward. I want to reconcile and repair this relationship because I love you, not because I'm angry with you. Just like your feelings for me, they are all genuine and without any pretense. You live a long life, are afraid of loneliness, and worry about losing me. I will also strive for that, even if I fall into reincarnation, cultivate the immortal path again, and rebuild my divine bones, I will still be with you."
Duan Jiuyou deeply explored the imperial territory.
She has a heart that clearly distinguishes between love and hate, cannot tolerate deception, and is easily moved by true feelings. At the same time, she has a pair of clear eyes that can distinguish between true and false intentions. His mind is too deep, as deep as the sea! But he has his own truth, which is reserved for her alone, and only for her.
He said he would live a long, long life for her, and she believed him, but she couldn't so easily let bygones be bygones when he lied to her!
Because Xinyue said that men are the least likely to learn from their mistakes. Taking her husband Chen as an example, he will definitely do the same thing again unless he feels scared when he thinks about it!
But people are different, and not all men are the same. Chen Yunzhou's personality is more like that of a military general, but he has the face of a scholar.
Unlike Chen Yunzhou, Di Jiang was meticulous and understood Jiu You's concerns and sensitivities.
Love was like a seed to them both. She watered it with all her heart and soul, but the leaves that sprouted from it cut her. She remembered the pain and hesitated when she came to it again, afraid that it would hurt her again.
Even her seeking advice from Chen Xinyue stemmed from a genuine inner struggle.
She wanted to find someone with experience to help her figure out how to navigate this relationship.
She had no parents or relatives to guide her, she was born alone, and her first love resulted in her being cut.
She acted recklessly, enduring pain and suffering, yet she still couldn't let go of him.
How can we avoid making the emperor feel sorry for us?
Di Jiang changed his approach and said, "I will change it. I will change anything you don't like, okay?"
Duan Jiuyou agreed, then raised his eyes and stared at him intently, asking, "Did you lie to me today?"
Di Jiang was taken aback by her question, and his expression became noticeably unnatural.
Duan Jiuyou narrowed his eyes: "You lied again? I think you're asking for trouble!"
He got up to leave.
Di Jiang hurriedly stopped the person and said with a wry smile, "Well, it's not exactly deception. I can clean up the wounds on my body with a cleansing spell. I just used this as an excuse to ask you to stay and take care of me... but the wounds on my body are real, there's nothing faked."
"So, you mean you can apply the medicine yourself?"
Di Jiang said the medicine wouldn't work, "There's no such technique."
"Really not?" Duan Jiuyou didn't believe it.
"Really not!" Di Jiang said earnestly.
"You always resort to these petty tricks!" Duan Jiuyou said resentfully.
Afraid that she would leave, Di Jiang took her hand and said slowly, "We haven't been alone together for a long time. I want to have a chance to talk to you alone. All my thoughts are only on you. I've never had such thoughts about other women."
He suddenly asked Jiuyou, "Is this considered lying? I want to stay with you, but you haven't been treating me well lately. I finally got beaten up before you started paying more attention to me. I want to keep you by my side a little longer. Is that considered lying?"
He turned his head to look at her, his expression almost boyish innocence and persistence.
He knew how to win her heart.
He pretends to be weak to deceive others, being assertive when necessary and vulnerable when appropriate. Peel back the skin and look inside; this beautiful and alluring Lord of the Wilderness is full of cunning and scheming!
She wouldn't listen to him or spend time with him, so he always had to find ways to make sure they could be alone together.
But his feelings for her were genuine, so genuine that the thought of losing her made him unsure how to live.
Duan Jiuyou's heart softened at his question, and he relented, saying, "Well, not really... I didn't give you much of a chance to speak."
"That's good."
His smile was one of satisfaction, indulgence, and a hint of cunning! It almost carried the air of a wicked scheme succeeding!
Duan Jiuyou's eyes sharpened, but upon closer inspection, it seemed she had misread the situation. The man was clearly gazing at her with deep affection; there was no sign of the schemes and plots she had imagined.
Actually, he definitely had some ulterior motives, but they weren't bad; he just wanted her to cherish him and have him all she could see and think about.
This is a bewitching demon; even if she "reforms," she can't shake off her clever and cunning heart.
He then moved closer to Jiuyou, a smile playing on his lips, his breath barely audible in her ear.
Are you still angry?
