Chapter 10
Mo Xiaoxin was confused: "What are you talking about? What acting?"
"Don't you love me? You came all this way just for this day, so why do you seem unhappy?"
Mo Xiaoxin thought to herself: Brother, someone wants to kill us, how can we be happy?
Leng Huai hadn't eaten all day. He glanced at the abundant dishes on the table and walked over to it.
Mo Xiaoxin stopped her: "Don't eat it, the food is poisoned!"
Leng Huai: "Oh? How did you know?"
Leng Huai's expression seemed to be one of probing, exploring, and doubt.
Please, is he suspecting that she was the one who poisoned him?
Mo Xiaoxin was furious and kindly reminded him why he was starting to doubt her.
"Eat if you want, I won't stop you. But don't blame me if you get poisoned."
Leng Huai took a plate of food and smelled it.
It was indeed poisonous.
He glanced at the fuming Mo Xiaoxin and a smile appeared on his lips.
That smile was like a gentle breeze, and it didn't seem out of place on Leng Huai's face at all, as if he had always been that easygoing.
Mo Xiaoxin was stunned; she was actually drawn to that smile.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Leng Huai's handsome face would definitely attract a lot of suitors if he didn't keep a straight face.
However, the meaning behind that smile made her uncomfortable, and Mo Xiaoxin asked irritably, "What are you laughing at?"
"Not bad at all," Leng Huai said casually.
Mo Xiaoxin rolled her eyes. How could she not be smart? She traded a million for it!
Leng Huai put down the plate in his hand and walked over to the candle.
It looked like Leng Huai was about to blow out the candle.
Mo Xiaoxin stopped her: "Hey, what are you doing?"
Leng Huai: "Go to bed."
Mo Xiaoxin glanced at the direction of the bed. The originally dark jade-carved bed was now covered with a red mattress, making it look extremely festive.
But the red color was extremely glaring to Mo Xiaoxin.
Could he be planning to do something to her?
"Don't blow it out, I'm afraid of the dark." Mo Xiaoxin's mind raced.
The candle flame was on the verge of being extinguished when Mo Xiaoxin's voice brought it back to life. Seeing the candle flame reignite, Mo Xiaoxin felt a little more at ease.
Leng Huai walked to the bedside and began to take off his clothes.
Mo Xiaoxin watched as Leng Huai took off his wedding robe, revealing his inner garment. Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly looked away, avoiding his gaze.
What to do? What to do? There's only one bed here; she can't possibly sleep on the floor.
But this is his bedroom, so she doesn't seem to have the right to let Leng Huai sleep on the floor.
She regretted it a little. She should have stayed in her room and not come out. Was it too late to go back now?
"What are you standing there for? Come here now!"
Leng Huai's voice suddenly rang out, startling Mo Xiaoxin.
Her body was stiff, unaware that she was walking with her hands and feet moving in unison, which looked quite comical.
Leng Huai caught a glimpse of this and couldn't help but smile mockingly. He didn't say anything, but just sat there quietly watching Mo Xiaoxin make a fool of herself.
Mo Xiaoxin sat down on the bed in a daze, her mind filled with all sorts of images. She had read a lot of novels before, and the intimate actions between men and women always made her heart race and gave her a maternal smile.
But when that day actually arrived, she felt no anticipation whatsoever.
She didn't like this man; she only saw him as a task to be completed. The marriage was an accident, and she would definitely regret it if she lost her virginity like this.
After she figured it out, she stood up with a serious expression: "Hey, Leng Huai, I..."
Mo Xiaoxin only said a few words before she saw Leng Huai's icy gaze fall on her, making her shudder and her words of resistance come to an abrupt halt.
Leng Huai stood up and moved slightly closer to her, the distance between them becoming somewhat intimate.
Mo Xiaoxin instantly felt the height difference between herself and Leng Huai.
Leng Huai stood in the shadow of the bed curtains. When she looked up, all she could see was the taut lines of his jaw and the bobbing of his Adam's apple. His shoulders and back mostly blocked the candlelight, and with his forward lean, a refreshing fragrance wafted into her mind. As she instinctively stepped back, her lower back pressed against the cold bedpost, while his hands, resting on the bed railing, made the mahogany bars creak softly.
As his shadow fell completely over her, she could feel his warm breath.
In a daze, her skirt got caught somewhere, and she staggered backward. She sank into the jade bed, a cold sensation coming from beneath her.
Her disheveled appearance made her somewhat flustered. Just as she was about to get up, everything went dark, and a dark figure stood in front of her, blatantly pressing down on her.
Leng Huai braced himself on the bed with both hands, encircling Mo Xiaoxin completely.
She shifted to the left, trying to escape the strange atmosphere, but Leng Huai moved his arm to completely block her way.
Mo Xiaoxin moved to the right again, and Leng Huai followed suit.
Mo Xiaoxin almost screamed in her heart, "Damn it, this man is deliberately trying to go against me!"
With both roads blocked, Mo Xiaoxin sighed, her eyes meeting those unfathomable gazes. Her voice was calm: "Leng Huai, you know I don't want to marry you."
Leng Huai suddenly grabbed Mo Xiaoxin's chin, and she gasped, "Ouch, that hurts!"
"Do you think I'd believe that? Don't you love me? You traveled all the way from the Southern Demon Realm to the Demon Realm just for this day, didn't you? Now it seems like I'm the one forcing you. This 'playing hard to get' trick is enough for now. I don't have that much patience." Leng Huai's tone was cold, and the warning in his words couldn't be clearer.
Dude, are you blind? Where did she get the idea of playing hard to get?
Seeing Mo Xiaoxin's silence, Leng Huai pondered for a moment.
Her behavior these past few days has been very unusual, completely different from the Mo Qiuxin I've met before. Her temper and way of speaking are quite different.
If he hadn't just pinched her chin to check, he would have suspected that the woman in front of him was an imposter.
How could a pampered princess know about a person's sudden change in temperament and manner in such a short time, and the salt-making method she had never heard of before?
If it wasn't a fake, he really couldn't imagine what other reason it could be.
"You are not Mo Qiuxin."
Mo Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat. What was going on? Leng Huai knew? Impossible, how could he possibly know?
Mo Xiaoxin quickly reviewed her thoughts. She had indeed recently engaged in some rather unbelievable and advanced behaviors. However, whether in her interactions with others or her manner of speaking, she had tried her best to follow the original owner's methods. Logically, Leng Huai should have absolutely no way of knowing.
Besides, Leng Huai couldn't possibly have a system like her, so there's only one possibility: he's suspicious of her and is testing her.
She reacted quickly: "What are you talking about? I'm not Mo Qiuxin, who am I?"
Leng Huai sneered: "I don't know who you are, but you are not Mo Qiuxin."
This was his intuition.
It must be said that Leng Huai is very smart, and his intuition is also very accurate.
If it weren't for Mo Xiaoxin's built-in system, she would definitely have thought that Leng Huai really knew her identity.
Unfortunately, as long as she doesn't admit it, Leng Huai will never know.
Mo Xiaoxin smiled calmly: "You think I've done something recently that you find incomprehensible, right?"
Leng Huai remained silent, waiting quietly for Mo Xiaoxin's explanation. Perhaps there were other ways in the world that he didn't know could drastically change a person.
Taking the opportunity, Mo Xiaoxin hooked her arm around Leng Huai's neck and said with a sweet smile, "That's right, I've been deliberately trying to get your attention lately. See, you fell for it, didn't you?"
Mo Xiaoxin's smile was radiant, and her peach blossom eyes were even more captivating under the flickering lights.
But in Leng Huai's eyes, this smile was ironic and glaring.
This woman is indeed very cunning.
A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he gripped her neck tightly with his fingers.
In the excruciating pain of her throat feeling like it was being crushed, Mo Xiaoxin frantically grabbed his wrist, her nails digging deep into her flesh, her legs kicking wildly on the bed, all she could see was the rampant malice in his eyes and the gradually blurring darkness.
The feeling of being strangled to death is incredibly painful.
Finally, she saw a vast expanse of white space.
Her face was pale, and she was panting heavily, trying to catch her breath and relieve the pent-up feeling in her heart.
Finally, death was completed.
Tears still clung to the corners of her eyes.
This was probably the most painful way she had ever died.
Mo Xiaoxin waited for the system to draw a prize.
[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward of five million in cash and the Ludo game item. 996 attempts remain.]
Mo Xiaoxin's mask of pain was instantly healed by money, and she watched her balance grow with a smile.
She was surprised to find that some props had been added to the lucky draw wheel at some point.
"Flying Chess?" she murmured.
"You will receive additional item rewards after officially participating in the experience. Please do your best, host!"
"But what's the use of this prop? I've only ever played Ludo in '□□' games," Mo Xiaoxin asked.
The system blinked: "Of course it's useful, but it depends on how you use it, host."
After saying that, the system disappeared in a flash.
Mo Xiaoxin wasted no time and quickly pressed the button, returning to that intimidatingly red room.
She was being pinned down by Leng Huai in an awkward position, and the two stared at each other in disbelief.
This time, there is still a ten-minute cooldown period.
Leng Huai grabbed Mo Xiaoxin's chin and questioned her about her identity.
Mo Xiaoxin didn't want to have her pay docked, so she gritted her teeth and tried to fool Leng Huai first: "I'm not Mo Xiaoxin. Who am I? I've always been like this. You just didn't know me before."
"Is that so?" Leng Huai's probing gaze swept across Mo Xiaoxin's face.
Mo Xiaoxin met Leng Huai's gaze without flinching. After a moment of eye contact, Leng Huai finally relaxed.
Leng Huai: "I'm warning you, no matter who you are, I will not let you go if you do anything to harm the Demon Realm."
Mo Xiaoxin made a swearing gesture: "No, no."
Leng Huai lowered his eyes and stared into Mo Xiaoxin's eyes, which were clear and innocent, as if he were doing something cruel.
He sneered and uttered a completely emotionless statement: "Instead of constantly guarding against you, I'd rather kill you."
Before Mo Xiaoxin could react, Leng Huai grabbed her by the neck.
Just like her previous death, Mo Xiaoxin suffocated to death after being strangled for several minutes.
Seeing that her balance had decreased by 10,000 yuan, Mo Xiaoxin was furious.
She was resurrected for less than a minute before this bastard killed her again, costing her 10,000 yuan. He's such a pig!
She muttered to herself, "I really don't know what kind of idiot this man is. He only said one sentence, how could he kill me again?"
After being resurrected, Mo Xiaoxin glared at Leng Huai, shook off his hand that was gripping her chin, and before he could react, she slapped him first: "Are you trying to question me about why my personality has changed so drastically lately? Let me tell you! I, the princess, am the one and only Mo Qiuxin! No substitute can replace me! So you can rest assured and get out of bed!"
Leng Huai's question to Mo Xiaoxin was instantly choked in his throat. How did this woman know he wanted to ask her that?
Seeing Leng Huai stunned, she took the opportunity to push him away.
She couldn't stay in that dilapidated house for even a second longer; she had to get far away from him as soon as possible, or she would be killed again.
She couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly tried to leave the room, but her body seemed to be dragged by a force, and she just kept running in place.
She realized it was that man's doing again.
She frowned and glared at Leng Huai: "What are you doing?"
Leng Huai propped himself up on one leg, looking at her with the same expression he had when watching prey: "You can't go out."
Mo Xiaoxin felt a little uneasy under his gaze: "What... what do you want to do?"
She prayed that Leng Huai wouldn't have another fit of madness and kill her, otherwise she would really go berserk.
