Mo Xuan closed her eyes and forced herself to recall the words on Li Lingge's bounty order.
Hatred flowed through her body like venom, and her waist began to sway awkwardly.
By the tenth time, the paper finally showed signs of loosening.
Sweat broke out on her forehead and her breathing became rapid.
Lian Xing placed her hand gently on her shoulder and taught her carefully.
"The rhythm is not right. It should be like the spring breeze blowing through the willows. Don't be impatient."
Mo Xuan bit her lower lip and readjusted her movements.
In a trance, she saw the tragic scene of the Ten Thousand Zhu Valley and the grinning face of the Third Prince flashing alternately.
By the 30th stroke, the paper finally fell apart. Although it was far from as even and perfect as Lian Xing's, it did become a rough fan.
Seeing this, Lian Xing raised her eyebrows and praised sincerely.
"Your Excellency is gifted."
Hearing the praise, Mo Xuan stood up suddenly.
"Let's stop here for today."
She turned and walked towards the window, not wanting the other person to see her trembling hands.
Lian Xing didn't say much, but just quietly packed up the utensils.
When the last orb was put into the box, she suddenly whispered.
"Your Excellency has an obsession."
Mo Xuan's back stiffened, but he didn't turn around.
Lian Xing closed the lid of the box and continued.
"That's great. Determination is the best teacher. It allows you to endure suffering that ordinary people can't endure and learn skills that ordinary people can't learn."
Mo Xuan looked at the falling crabapple petals and nodded slightly. For revenge, she was willing to fall into this paradise of hell, even if there was no way back.
…
On the top floor of the Misty Rain Tower, the gilded and colorful warm room is filled with the scent of incense.
Outside the window, the rain was drizzling like silk. Lianxing was half leaning on a soft golden pillow. Her lilac-colored gauze dress slipped off her shoulders, revealing a piece of her snow-white skin.
She pinched a crystal clear grape between her fingertips and gently brought it to the lips of the man beside her.
"Your Highness, try this."
Li Lingge leaned lazily among the brocade, his purple robe draped loosely on his body.
He opened his mouth and held the grape, his tongue deliberately sweeping across Lianxing's fingertips, causing her to giggle.
"Is it sweet?" Lian Xing's eyes moved.
"Not even one ten-thousandth of you."
Li Lingge bit the grapes into pieces, and the sweet juice burst in his mouth.
His slender fingers played with a strand of Lian Xing's black hair, and suddenly changed the subject.
"How is the black-bellied brocade spider doing today?"
Lian Xing's eyes flickered slightly, and she pressed her face against Li Lingge's chest to hide the strangeness at that moment.
"She taught me how to sit on paper. That girl has good talent, but she's too stubborn."
She drew circles on Li Lingge's chest with her fingertips and asked tentatively.
"Your Highness, what should I teach her tomorrow?"
Li Lingge pinched Lianxing's chin and stroked her rosy lips with his thumb.
"I won't interfere with your teaching, but I will test your teaching results in the future."
Lian Xing's breathing stagnated slightly. She knew that this man seemed lazy and casual, but in fact he was meticulous.
Although she didn't know what the relationship was between the girl in the Second Prince's Mansion and the Third Prince, the Second Prince had just called her to his mansion in the morning, and the Third Prince came to her in the evening, which naturally made her smell something unusual.
Lian Xing carefully considered her words and spoke.
"She studied very hard, but there was too much hatred in her eyes."
Li Lingge suddenly chuckled and released his grip.
"Hate? Okay, the more you hate, the better."
He picked up the glass cup and drank the wine in it. Mo Xuan should never have targeted him like that after he entered the Taixuan Secret Realm.
After Zhao Muwan's reminder, this naturally caught his attention.
With just a little investigation, we can find out the origins of these twin sisters.
So he already had a guess in his mind about what the other party wanted to do.
The sound of rain gradually grew heavier, hitting the window frame as rapid as drumbeats.
"When Zhao Muwan reminded me, I thought she was making a fuss about nothing. I didn't expect that after investigating, I would unearth such a pair of precious sisters."
Lian Xing showed a puzzled expression at the right moment: "Your Highness, are you saying—"
"The bloodline of the Black-bellied Silk Spider clan, my brother might be trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
Lian Xing's heart was pounding like thunder, and she hurriedly explained.
"Your Highness, please understand. Lian Xing was only following the Second Prince's orders. She has no idea of that woman's origins."
Shhh——
Li Lingge gently stroked her red neck and whispered.
“You did a great job.”
He leaned over to her ear, his warm breath touching the sensitive skin.
"Keep teaching. The more attentively you teach, the better. I want to see what waves these sisters can make."
Lian Xing suppressed her trembling and nodded obediently.
She knew this man too well; he enjoyed his prey's futile struggles, like a cat playing with a mouse.
"Oh, right." Li Lingge suddenly sat up straight with great interest. "I heard Mo Xuan has a twin sister?"
Lian Xing's heart tightened, and then she shook her head.
"I didn't see my sister."
Li Lingge suddenly moved closer to Lianxing, their noses almost touching.
"Tell me, if the elder sister kills her younger sister with her own hands, will this scene be more exciting?"
Amid the sound of rain, Lianxing could hear the sound of her own heart beating violently.
She looked into Li Lingge's eyes, which were so close to her. There was no warmth in them, only the excitement of a predator.
At this moment, she suddenly understood that the Third Prince wanted not only to kill people, but also to completely destroy the last hope of the Black-bellied Spider Clan.
"What does Your Highness want to do?"
Li Lingge leaned back and picked up a gold hairpin on the table to play with it.
"No rush, let Mo Xuan learn his skills first."
He placed the tip of the golden hairpin against Lian Xing's chest and pressed gently.
"When she thinks she's about to succeed, I'll let her know what despair is."
The tip of the hairpin pierced through the gauze dress, and Lianxing felt a slight pain, but she didn't dare to move.
Lian Xing lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes hiding all her emotions.
"Lian Xing will definitely live up to your highness's trust."
Li Lingge smiled with satisfaction and casually put the gold hairpin back into her hair.
"Okay, why bother saying these spoilers?"
He clapped his hands, and immediately a maid came in carrying a jade pot.
"Come, try the Drunken Immortal Brew. It is said that one cup can make one forget all their troubles."
The jade pot was overturned, and the amber wine rippled in the luminous cup.
Lian Xing took the wine glass and drank it all under Li Lingge's scorching gaze.
The wine was sweet, but with a hint of bitterness, just like her mood at the moment.
The rain was still falling, and the sound of stringed instruments could be faintly heard in the distance, mixed with the singer's melodious lyrics.
“Life is a play, and play is life. Who are the spectators and who are the actors in the play?”
