Chapter 90 Re-entering the Prosperous City: A Wild Beast Inside the Skirt
Because the person she was holding hands with was not Ji Saiyu at all, but Jin Shiyu who was impersonating her.
When a man dresses up as a woman, his face can be disguised, his height can be concealed, and his Adam's apple can be hidden. But how can his voice change in such a short time?
Are you suggesting that Kim Si-ok should learn to imitate voice in such a short time?
I left in such a hurry, rushing into the room, grabbing him and running, only telling him not to speak, but I forgot that Huangfu Li is a suspicious scoundrel by nature!
Jin Suiqing held Jin Shiyu's hand tightly.
Huangfu Li raised an eyebrow, walked leisurely to the Kuilong escalator, and smiled as if everything was under control: "Hmm? I was just joking. Could it be that Miss Ji really won't speak?"
Jin Suiqing was extremely nervous and was racking her brains for a solution when Jin Shiyu quietly squeezed her hand, signaling her to relax. He then turned around gracefully, looking down at Huangfu Li.
He first straightened himself, gave a slight bow, and then began to casually unbutton his collar.
As he moved, Jin Suiqing's heart was in her throat.
Just now Huangfu Li was still suspicious of his neck, so what is he trying to do by untying it now?
Jin Suiqing dared not make any rash moves and could only watch Jin Shiyu's actions, nervously biting her lower lip.
As he pulled open his collar, revealing half of his neck, one could see that his Adam's apple was a dark red patch, with blood stasis seemingly about to burst through the thin skin and gush out, which was quite horrifying.
Jin Suiqing gasped in shock; with his Adam's apple swollen so much, you couldn't even tell he had one.
He only gave a brief demonstration before tying up his collar, looking directly at Huangfu Li, and said with difficulty, "This humble woman has been suffering from a fever these past two days, and her throat is sore that she is indeed not very good at speaking."
The voice was like burning charcoal, crackling and popping in the fire, so dry and rough that it would crumble at the slightest touch, extremely hoarse, and indeed, it was impossible to tell whether the person was male or female.
Jin Suiqing worriedly took his hand, while Jin Shiyu, still looking at Huangfu Li, squeezed her palm.
Unable to find any obvious flaws, Huangfu Li suppressed his smile, gave a cold sneer, and raised his hand to let the two people board the Kui Dragon.
Without further hesitation, Jin Suiqing entered Kuilong, found a room, went inside, locked the door, pressed Jin Shiyu onto the bed, and pulled open his collar: "How did you manage to hurt your throat like this?"
Jin Shiyu lowered his eyes, finding it difficult to speak. He took Jin Suiqing's hand and wrote in her palm, "He is suspicious, so he had no choice but to do it."
At this moment, Jin Suiqing didn't care about Huangfu Li at all; she only cared about Jin Shiyu in front of her. "I'm asking how you did it, and whether it will affect the future."
“Drink hot water first, then swallow ice, and pinch your Adam's apple hard,” Jin Shiyu shook his head, lowered his eyes and continued writing, “It’s temporary, it won’t have any effect.”
Jin Suiqing knew that Jin Shiyu was ruthless to him, and what he wrote was completely different from what he actually encountered. No matter how hot the water was, how cold the ice was, or how painful or itchy his throat was, he wouldn't tell her.
Seeing that Jin Shiyu still wanted to write something, Jin Suiqing clasped her hands together and grabbed his index finger.
Jin Suiqing gripped it tightly, then loosened it, and then shook it.
Jin Shiyu felt a tickle in her heart. She let her shake for a moment before bending her index finger, prying open her hand, and interlocking her index finger with her palm.
Whether intentionally or not, Kim Shi-ok intertwined his fingers with hers, starting with his little finger, but deliberately hooking his index finger and thumb together, adding two more fingers to hers and wrapping them together with the base of his thumb and forefinger.
Although their fingers were intertwined, they completely enveloped Jin Suiqing's hand.
Jin Shiyu pulled Jin Suiqing onto his lap. Using this position, he whispered in her ear, "It doesn't hurt."
“You’re talking nonsense again,” Jin Suiqing muttered. “It’s hot and cold, and my throat is swollen. How can it not hurt? I told you to go to Jinling first. Huangfu Li won’t do anything to me.”
Kim Si-ok shook his head. "It has nothing to do with him. I want to be with you."
Jin Suiqing didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
After three years apart, and only a few days since they reunited, her brother had already made up for all the childlike innocence he lacked in his childhood. She turned her head and said, "Let me see your neck."
Kim Shi-ok obeyed and raised his head.
Jin Suiqing leaned closer and looked at it from all sides. The more she looked, the more distressed she felt. The red and purple color was so intense; it would probably take several days for it to fade.
Thinking of him, Jin Suiqing kissed him and heard Jin Shiyu groan. Because his voice was hoarse, it sounded painful. She thought he was in pain, so she gently rubbed his throat with her fingertips, saying, "Remember to apply the medicine when we get back to the Jin residence."
After massaging for a while, Jin Suiqing noticed that Jin Shiyu's thighs were stiff. Afraid of numbing them, she shifted slightly. Through the cotton-padded jacket, Jin Suiqing felt something uncomfortable against her tailbone. Without thinking too much, she casually brushed it aside with her hand.
The moment they touched, the muffled groan from the person behind them grew louder.
Jin Suiqing was stunned for a moment before realizing what this disgusting thing was.
She suddenly stood up and turned to look at Kim Si-ok.
He was disguised, his face completely changed, but his cold aura was still undeniable, like silk covering half-melted snow, making him a quintessential cold beauty. To conceal his masculine frame, Ji Saiyu chose a fitted red dress. The waist was so narrow that the dress was too small, and the hem was tight around his legs, its shape visible even through the thick fabric.
A beautiful woman grows up to be stunning; anyone who sees her would find it hard to resist.
It vividly illustrates what it means to have a wild beast hidden under a skirt.
Kim Shi-ok was also a little uncomfortable. She wanted to cross her legs, but the skirt was too narrow and she couldn't move, so she could only silently turn her head away.
Jin Suiqing closed her eyes, silently repeating three times in her mind: "The lingering poison is at work, the lingering poison is at work, the lingering poison is at work." Realizing he still wouldn't let her help, she turned to leave the room.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Huangfu Li said, "Sister Suiqing, the Kui Dragon is about to take off. Do you want to come out and enjoy the scenery from the dragon's head?"
"What's the point of looking at the scenery?" Jin Suiqing thought to herself, but still wanted to give Jin Shiyu some private space. As she reached for the door lock, Jin Shiyu said hoarsely, "Don't go."
Then what's the point of even leaving?!
The lustful ghost Jin Suiqing yelled "Get out!" at the door, then mumbled a few more words to brush it off before returning to the bedside and tearing off the bed curtains.
*
As evening approached, the Kui Dragon slowed down, and Jin Suiqing knew they were almost at the capital.
Just before landing, while the dragon was hovering and the wind speed was still manageable, she opened a small window for ventilation.
A draft of air rushed in, carrying away the humid heat from the room. Jin Suiqing stood by the window, patted her cheeks, and waited for the blush to fade.
Jin Shiyu, worried that she was cold, draped a cloak over her shoulders.
Jin Suiqing hooked her hand and looked out the window. The capital city hadn't changed much; the traffic was heavy, the buildings stood side by side, a magnificent winter scene.
The last time I saw this scene was when I had just transmigrated, and the Death Guard carried me into the city, and I caught a glimpse of Lingguang standing on the wall.
Back then, she was forced into the game by the system; now, she's taking the initiative to enter this bustling city.
Jin Suiqing closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her eyes were shining.
She's ready to go all out!
However, the Kui dragon did not land at the post station. It circled around a few times, then rose into the sky again and flew towards the outside of the city.
Jin Suiqing immediately sensed something was wrong.
Before the Kui Dragon could land, she took out a magical scythe and threw it out the window. But before the scythe could fly far, a short arrow shot out and shot it down.
Someone on the Kui Dragon was keeping an eye on her room to prevent her from sending any messages out!
Jin Suiqing understood, and changed his focus to memorizing the route. No matter how strong the wind was, he didn't close the windows, letting the interior furnishings be torn apart by the wind, and he still squinted at the terrain outside the window, trying hard to memorize the route.
But as darkness fell, the Kui dragon kept circling in the air, and Jin Suiqing's eyes became increasingly dry, making him dizzy and lightheaded, until finally he could see nothing at all.
Jin Shiyu frowned, raised his hand to cover her eyes, and closed the window.
Huangfu Li couldn't possibly be unaware that she was tipping him off.
Jin Suiqing was a little anxious and panted. Jin Shiyu was worried and gently stroked the top of her head.
Having someone by her side calmed Jin Suiqing down a bit, and she even felt a little relieved that she had agreed to let Jin Shiyu come along.
Now, the message that Gong Dagou was entrusted to deliver to Ye Zi before her departure, including the estimated landing time and the guessed landing location, is probably all unreliable.
She paused for a moment, then mustered her courage again.
Then we'll take it one step at a time; there's no place in this world that can confine her.
After calming down, Jin Suiqing waited for the Kui Dragon to land. Huangfu Li called the two of them out, and Jin Shiyu straightened her clothes and led her out the door.
As the door opened, Huangfu Li peeked out and asked, "Sister Suiqing opened the window, so why is the room such a mess?"
"You know perfectly well what I'm asking." Jin Suiqing rolled her eyes and, as she walked past him with her suitcase, Huangfu Li snatched it from her. Before Jin Suiqing could stop him, he opened the window and threw it out.
In the wind, Huangfu Li laughed wildly, "You don't need these things. I've prepared all the clothes and stuff for you."
Before ascending the Kui Dragon, she showed the box to Huangfu Li. On the surface, it contained clothes, but the box had a hidden compartment containing parts and tools to facilitate Jin Suiqing's assembly of some convenient magical artifacts. Now, he had thrown it all away.
Jin Suiqing closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and endured for a moment. He had really overestimated this bastard's bottom line.
After the Kui dragon descended and came to a stop, Huangfu Li opened the door and, like a gentleman, extended his hand to invite the two down the escalator.
As Jin Suiqing, holding Jin Shiyu's hand, passed by Huangfu Li, she gave him an extremely awkward, fake smile—nothing more than pure disgust. Huangfu Li, however, was drawn to her, as if seeing his former silly little sister.
He was momentarily distracted, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw her hand twitch, and he thought she was about to hit him again.
Although it didn't hurt or itch, it was still annoying. Huangfu Li tried to grab her hand, but Jin Suiqing snorted and dodged away, stepping over him onto the Kui Dragon.
She didn't even bother to look at him, and coldly said, "Dirty hands."
Huangfu Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly chuckled softly. Now that she disliked him, he couldn't even ask for a beating.
He stared at the backs of Jin Suiqing and the extremely tall woman beside her, his eyes darkening. He closed his eyes, and only after his expression returned to normal did he open them again and quickly catch up with the two.
The Kui dragon stopped in an open space in the deep suburbs. The guards in the front row led the three of them for a while before they came into view a dark house with two eerie red lanterns hanging in front of the door, swaying incessantly in the dry, cold wind.
As soon as I approached, the door opened.
Li Han, accompanied by two maids, stood respectfully at the door. Several years had passed, and the eunuch's figure had become even more obese.
For some reason, Jin Suiqing suddenly pictured a fat cat that kept getting fatter after being spayed/neutered.
She's very gentle. After all, among animals that gain weight rapidly after being spayed/neutered, cats are considered very friendly.
Jin Suiqing silently looked away.
Despite his weight, Li Han was remarkably agile. He lightly stepped over the threshold, smiling as he greeted Jin Suiqing. He looked Jin Suiqing up and down, noting that she had no luggage, and then glanced at Huangfu Li's smiling eyes, having already made up his mind.
Most likely, His Highness has gone mad again and thrown it away.
Li Han sighed.
When Jin Suiqing was still a young princess, Huangfu Li's interest in her was actually quite abnormal. He had never seen that kind of smile on His Highness the Crown Prince's face, let alone that she would collect the toy she used to injure him.
Later, when he learned that Jin Suiqing's clumsy appearance was all an act and that she might actually be the magician that His Highness cared about so much, His Highness seemed to hold a grudge against Jin Suiqing for playing tricks on him and ruining his reputation. He shouted that he would find her and tear her to pieces, laughing maniacally.
But a glint flashed in His Highness's eyes, and that look truly terrified Li Han.
As for Jin Suiqing, Your Highness is different from Huangfu Feng, who is sworn enemies. Isn't he a match made in heaven?
Li Han was getting old, had no children, and didn't care about wealth and luxury; he just hoped that the Crown Prince would have a more interesting life.
Jin Suiqing could always make His Highness, who was full of bad intentions, jump three feet high while pretending to be a good person, but he was far less furious than Jin Suiqing. This shows that people actually have some weight in his heart.
As the saying goes, lovers are often rivals; if they bicker and continue bickering after marriage, they might actually find some fun in it.
Li Han quietly clicked her tongue, stealing glances at Jin Suiqing's attitude...
Your Highness, this is not the way to pursue a girl.
Huangfu Li coughed twice, and Li Han quickly snapped out of his daze, pointing to the tall woman behind Jin Suiqing and saying, "This is......"
Jin Suiqing stood in front of Jin Shiyu, saying, "My friend was supposed to go home, but His Highness the Crown Prince detained him as well."
She uttered the words "Your Highness the Crown Prince" with extreme force, as if squeezing them out from between her teeth.
"Oh dear," Li Han said with a smile, "we have plenty of rooms. I'll prepare another one for you right away."
Jin Suiqing let out a heavy snort and said coldly, "No need to trouble Eunuch Li, my friend will stay in the same room as me."
Huangfu Li: "No, let's clean out another room and have them live separately."
Jin Suiqing glanced at him, lifted her skirt, and sat down on the spot. "Then I'll just spend the night here and freeze to death."
The two and a half men present all looked down at Jin Suiqing, who was sitting cross-legged on the threshold, and were momentarily at a loss for words.
