Chapter 44 Ignition Cannot Stand Up
Qiao Xi's face was already a bit chubby, and now that Morax was pinching it to one side, she blinked with difficulty.
Morax squeezed for a moment, then released his grip and looked at her leisurely: "Alright then."
As he spoke, he placed his hand on the buttons of his collar, looked into Qiao Xi's eyes, his face expressionless, and moved slowly, pretending to unbutton her clothes.
Startled, Qiao Xi quickly jumped over and pulled Morax's hand down. She blushed a little at Morax's unexpected action and said, "I was just joking with you. How come you didn't realize it?"
Morax smiled, bent down, looked into Qiao Xi's eyes, and said, "I know."
Qiao Xi: "...Oh."
Morax teased her again.
Morax tilted his head slightly.
Seeing that Morax was still bent over, Qiao Xi asked, "Why aren't you standing up yet?"
Morax said, "Maybe it's because I wanted to ask for a kiss."
As he spoke, he cupped Qiao Xi's face in his hands, silencing her before she could even react, and kissed her gently. Qiao Xi's eyes widened slightly.
Morax looked at her, gently ran his tongue over her lower lip, then bit it. He pinched Qiao Xi's face, forcing her to open her mouth, and Morax's tongue slid in, lightly touching her canine teeth before entwining itself deep inside.
Qiao Xi was caught off guard by the deep kiss and found it hard to breathe. She tried to push Morax away, but her resistance only fueled his desire. Morax didn't let go of Qiao Xi; instead, he placed one hand on her waist and pressed her closer, holding her even tighter.
Qiao Xi tried to turn her head away, but Morax grabbed her chin and turned it back. The usually clever and quirky girl was now completely powerless in front of him.
The difficulty in breathing caused Qiao Xi to involuntarily open her mouth wide, which seemed more like a gesture of compliance to Morax, who had been taking the initiative. A subtle fire inexplicably burned in his abdomen, so he actually lifted Qiao Xi up.
Startled when her feet left the ground, Qiao Xi quickly wrapped her arms around Morax's neck. After a brief separation, she caught her breath, but Morax pressed her head down and continued kissing her while tilting her head back.
The sound of running water filled her ears. Morax placed her on the sink, then moved forward, embedding himself between her legs, his hands bracing against the countertop, forming a cage that imprisoned Qiao Xi.
He bent down for a deep kiss, and with just a slight lift of his head, he could see his reflection in the mirror—a strange and unfamiliar sight that only fueled the growing irritation in Morax's heart.
His kisses unconsciously became more forceful, until a faint smell of blood lingered in their breaths. He paused slightly and looked up.
Qiao Xi's lips were already raw from his kisses. She was panting heavily as she looked up at Morax.
Morax then realized that something had just happened to him.
Qiao Xi looked at him, slowly raised her hand, and tugged at Morax's collar.
Morax was pulled in front of her.
Qiao Xi's voice was disjointed as she frowned: "What's wrong with you?"
Morax coughed lightly: "Sorry."
He leaned over and pulled Qiao Xi into his arms. Qiao Xi rested her chin on his shoulder, but she saw behind Morak that there seemed to be a faint golden light gathering to form a faintly visible dragon tail.
She remembered how agitated Morax had been when she sat on his tail in the cave.
She wondered if Morax's irritability was due to his tail.
She could hear Morax's rough breathing close to her ear.
Qiao Xi wondered if it was like a small animal, where just gently stroking the fur on its tail could calm it down.
Thinking this, Qiao Xi tentatively reached out her hand towards the faint golden light. Her fingertips paused slightly; the light actually had a physical form and could be touched.
She stretched out her palm and gently, tenderly, tried to caress him, but as her warm palm completely touched the golden light, Morax, who was holding her, suddenly shuddered.
Then, Morax quickly distanced himself from her.
Morax frowned as he looked at her, his eyes unreadable, like dark waves, suppressed yet turbulent.
Qiao Xi sat on the sink, pursed her lips, and looked somewhat at a loss. She pointed behind Morax and said, "I saw it, and then, I touched it."
Morax still frowned, closed his eyes, nodded, and sighed softly.
After a while, when he opened his eyes, the golden light behind him dissipated, and his gaze returned to its usual calm.
When Qiao Xi saw that Morax's tail was gone, she was no longer agitated. She felt that she hadn't guessed wrong, and that she would still pet him to comfort him the next time she saw him.
"Morax".
"Hmm?" Morax walked over.
My mouth hurts a little.
Morax's gaze fell on her lips, looking at the broken skin, and he said, "Sorry, I'll be gentler next time."
Qiao Xi nodded.
Morax said, "Go practice your horse stance first, I'll make you breakfast."
Qiao Xi frowned: "We just kissed."
Morax pinched her cheek: "Do you want to kiss me all day long?"
Qiao Xi asked with some anticipation, "Is it okay?"
This girl always surprised him, Morax said helplessly, "No."
Qiao Xi pouted and jumped off the sink, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs went weak. Morax quickly came over to catch her. Qiao Xi held Morax's arm, feeling very embarrassed: "Why do my legs go weak when I kiss you?"
Moraxton paused, then suddenly understood. He suppressed a slight smile and rubbed the back of Qiao Xi's head: "Did it go soft before?"
“Hmm,” Qiao Xi said, “If the kiss lasts a little longer, I can’t stand up straight.”
Morax said, "Then next time, kiss while sitting down."
Qiao Xi looked up: "You really are a master at solving problems."
Morax leaned back slightly, smiling as he looked at her: "Thank you for the compliment."
*
He stayed with Qiao Xi for a while as she recovered, and only left when she could walk again.
Qiao Xi walked into the courtyard with a sense of despair and squatted in a horse stance. The kiss just now had already exhausted her energy, and now she had to practice basic skills. Ruthless Morax!
Qiao Xi yawned, feeling that she had entered a state of being free from desires and desires, and one with nature.
Just then, Jinlan came looking for Qiaoxi after finishing his patrol of the mountain. He naturally pushed open the courtyard gate and saw Qiaoxi squatting in a horse stance. He then revealed a sly expression: "Little Qiaoxi, why do you always look like an idiot when you do a horse stance?"
Qiao Xi chuckled twice: "Did you bring any food? I stayed up all night, I'm exhausted and hungry."
Jinlan knew that Qiaoxi was dating the Emperor, and when she heard her mention "staying up all night," she unconsciously started to think the wrong thing.
He pulled out three bite-sized pancakes from his pocket and was about to stuff them into Qiao Xi's mouth.
Qiao Xi: "You didn't wash your hands, I won't eat the parts of your mouth that you touched."
Jinlan: "Can't you just not bite there?"
He put the pancake to Qiao Xi's lips, but then noticed that her lips were chapped.
Recalling the many stories he had heard after staying up all night, Jinlan quickly put together a blockbuster.
Although he was happy that the couple was getting closer, Qiao Xi and the Emperor didn't have much time to actually spend together. In reality, wouldn't it be a bit much if things progressed this fast?
He looked at Qiao Xi and said, "Little Qiao Xi, you have to take good care of yourself."
Qiao Xi enjoyed her pancake and said, "Of course, I'm really good at it now. Let's have a competition next time."
Jinlan stuffed another pancake into her hand: "I meant protective measures. You've told so many stories, and accidents always happen in them. Just don't get caught yourself..."
Before Jinlan could finish speaking, Qiao Xi slapped the pancake on his face, blushing, "Hey! What are you thinking?"
Jinlan: "Huh?"
Qiao Xi: "That's not true!"
Qiao Xi thought of something and said, "I stayed up all night practicing my skills last night. My master checked me yesterday and said that my cultivation is not very good. I need to improve my foundation."
Jinlan pursed his lips, feeling sorry for Qiao Xi for the rubbish in his head. If that was the case, then the chapped lips on Qiao Xi's face must be from staying up late and getting a sore throat.
It's so admirable how hard Qiao Xi studies! Jin Lan thought to herself.
Just then, a person walked out of the kitchen. Jinlan looked in that direction and froze again.
Didn't he catch the Emperor and Qiao Xi kissing last time, and he even got a warning look at him?
But now the Emperor is with Qiao Xi again.
My goodness, their on-screen chemistry is amazing.
Jinlan's expression was distorted due to a mixture of fear and excitement.
The appearance of Morax means that Qiao Xi's horse stance can end.
So Qiao Xi walked over to Jin Lan and asked, "Do you have diarrhea?"
Jinlan shook his head and said to Morax, "Good morning, Your Majesty."
"Hello." Morax's voice was flat, just like always, without the oppressive aura he had when he warned him last time. It was as if nothing had happened. Jinlan couldn't help but sigh at how kind the Emperor was.
Qiao Xi said to Jin Lan, "Since you're here, let's have breakfast together."
Jinlan shook her head: "No, I have to go back and fix the roof."
Qiao Xi frowned: "What's going on?"
Jinlan sighed: "Last night, the wild boars ripped up my house again while I was sleeping. Now that it's warmer, those wild boars have started again. You should be careful too."
Qiao Xi felt sorry for Jin Lan, so she said to him, "Wait a minute."
Then he jogged into the kitchen, rummaged through the basket of cured meat, and jogged over to hand it to Jinlan: "Give my regards to your rooftop."
Jinlan took the cured meat: "I thank you on behalf of my roof."
Morax stood by, watching the two of them with a slight smile. After Qiao Xi said goodbye to Jin Lan, he went over to Qiao Xi and said, "Do you want to help him?"
Qiao Xi nodded: "During the time you were gone, the bamboo garden was also raided by wild boars several times. Jin Lan helped me a lot. Let me tell you, those wild boars are really persistent."
Morax was very curious: "How exactly did you and Jinlan offend them?"
Wild boars live in the mountains and are part of the mountains. The immortals only drive them away when they cause trouble and will not harm them directly.
Qiao Xi said, "The wild boars stole a lot of seeds before. Jin Lan was marked for leading the team to drive them away as the squad leader, while I was marked for infiltrating the wild boar's den and bringing back the stolen seeds."
Morax imagined the scene and couldn't help but chuckle. He bent down and rubbed Qiao Xi's face: "Let's eat first. After we eat, you can go help Jin Lan."
