Chapter 246 You Are Even More Alluring
Najuela Yundan is more like a red peony blooming under the scorching sun in the desert, intense, vibrant, and with a wild vitality.
Yet, his youthful innocence made him seem like a Persian cat from the Western Regions, making one want to pinch his cheeks.
Thinking this, Li Yuanzhao actually reached out and pinched his cheek hard with his fingertips.
It felt smooth and soft to the touch, even more delicate than she had imagined.
good!
Jue La Yun Dan felt that she had been greatly insulted.
When has he, as a prince, ever been treated like this?
She was tied to the bed and looked at like a plaything, and was touched at will by strangers!
He glared at Li Yuanzhao with his emerald eyes wide open, his gaze fixed on her as if he wanted to devour her alive.
The sobs that came out of his mouth grew louder, and the indistinct syllables were full of anger.
Li Yuanzhao was not annoyed at all; on the contrary, he found the flustered appearance rather amusing.
She reached out and pulled the handkerchief out of his mouth, her tone casually teasing: "You've got quite a temper!"
As soon as the handkerchief was removed, Jue La Yun Dan took a deep breath and then burst into a tirade of curses.
However, he was too emotional and blurted out Tibetan.
The syllables were fast and urgent, winding and turning, venting long-suppressed anger.
Although he couldn't understand what was being said, the gritted teeth, the flushed cheeks, and the fiery blue eyes convinced Li Yuanzhao that the insults must have been quite vulgar!
She stood by the bed with her arms crossed, watching him with a leisurely air.
Jue La Yun Dan cursed for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, until his voice became hoarse and dry, but the woman in front of him still stood there, without even raising an eyebrow.
Jue La Yun Dan only stopped talking, panting, when she was too tired to continue cursing and her throat hurt terribly.
Seeing that he had finally stopped talking, Li Yuanzhao curled his lips slightly and said with a hint of mockery, "What are you babbling about? I didn't understand a single word."
Jue La Yun Dan then realized that he had been so focused on cursing that he had forgotten the other person couldn't understand Tibetan!
He quickly switched to broken but still relatively clear Mandarin and roared, "How dare you! Who gave you permission to touch me with your filthy hands?!"
"I am a prince of Tibet, and my father is the Tibetan king, who rules over seventy-two tribes in the Western Regions; my mother is the Tibetan queen consort, born into the noble Molu family! How dare you be so disrespectful to me?!"
Li Yuanzhao's smile deepened as he listened to Li Yuanzhao use his father and mother's status to exert pressure.
"Oh? My father was an emperor, my mother was an emperor, and I... will soon be an emperor too. Tell me, why should I be so disrespectful to you?"
Upon hearing this, Jue La Yun Dan's eyes showed a hint of apprehension, and she tentatively asked, "Are you Li Yuan Zhao?"
Li Yuanzhao leaned back on the edge of the bed with a leisurely air and asked in return, "What do you think?"
Jue La Yun Dan then belatedly realized that, apart from the legendary Princess Zhenguo of Daqi, who held immense power and whom even the emperor had to give way to, who else would dare to tie him to the bed and humiliate him so wantonly?
His voice unconsciously softened a few decibels, but he still stubbornly insisted: "Even if you are a princess, you should know the etiquette of diplomatic relations! I am a prince of the Tibetan royal family. Aren't you afraid that treating me like this will affect the diplomatic relations between our two countries?"
"Diplomatic relations?" Li Yuanzhao scoffed, his tone laced with undisguised mockery. "Don't you know why Yangjin sent you here?"
A flicker of panic crossed Jue La Yun Dan's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
"That woman Yangjin is afraid I will take her throne, so she sent me to Daqi as a hostage. How could I let her have her way! As long as you let me go back, I don't care what Yangjin promised you. I will give you double the city and the tribute!"
Li Yuanzhao's tone was somewhat playful, "That sounds quite tempting..."
Seeing this, Jue La Yun Dan quickly seized the opportunity to assure him, "Of course! Moreover, I am the most beloved prince of the Zanpu, and the future Zanpu he has chosen. I always keep my word and will never deceive you! As long as you let me go back, I will immediately send someone to present the gifts, and I will also form an eternal alliance with Da Qi, with no intention of invading each other!"
Li Yuanzhao suddenly raised his hand, gently twirling a golden curly hair on his neck with his fingertips, circling it twice, his tone ambiguous.
"But what can I do? My little prince! I feel that you... are more tempting than cities and gold and silver."
"You—!" Jue La Yun Dan didn't expect her to be so blunt.
His cheeks flushed instantly, a mixture of shame and anger, and every muscle in his body tensed up.
Li Yuanzhao moved closer, his warm breath brushing against his earlobe, his lips intentionally or unintentionally brushing against his cheek.
"I possess the world and the wealth of the four seas, and I lack nothing, except for a blonde and blue-eyed beauty like you, whom I have never tasted before."
Jue La Yun Dan immediately retreated a bit, shaking his head like a rattle drum, struggling desperately.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free of the sturdy rope and could only watch helplessly as the woman drew closer and closer.
In desperation, he shouted with all his might, "I'm telling you, no matter who you are, I will not marry you!"
Li Yuanzhao said nonchalantly, "Alright then, I'll be a male slave to serve you in bed!"
"Serve in bed?" Jue La Yun Dan seemed to have heard some great humiliation, her blue eyes widening instantly.
"Absolutely not! Unless I'm dead, you won't touch a hair on my head!"
He struggled more and more violently, the bedposts shook and hummed, and the red marks on his wrists became more and more obvious, but he still refused to stop.
Seeing this, Li Yuanzhao was not angry at all. Instead, he slowly leaned down, pinched his chin with his fingertips, and forced him to look up at him.
Her eyes held an undisguised desire, and her tone carried a hint of amusement and determination.
"It's so strong, I definitely have to try it to see what it tastes like."
