Chapter 43 (Bonus Chapter) He likes this little... (First published on Jinjiang Literature City)
"Chao Lu, you..."
Ruan Yu was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, Chao Lu seemed to be filled with immense pain. He covered his head and wailed—
Lady Qiu and Hela were startled: "Chaolu! What's going on!"
Ruan Yu glanced at the sky outside and said urgently, "Quickly, fetch the herdsman's doctor!"
It got dark.
Riin arrived quickly, glanced up, and said, "The moon is full; I'll burn incense right away!"
"Will it work?!" Ruan Yu asked hurriedly.
Chaolu was in great pain at this moment, clutching his head, his eyes bloodshot as if they were about to bleed.
Rein said urgently, "This is the only way we can try it!"
After saying that, he immediately gave Chaolu a pill and then lit several incense burners in the room.
Upon hearing of the turn of events, Hurile immediately rushed over: "How is Chaolu?!"
Hela said with red eyes, "The herdsman said he can only delay it. Whether we can get through tonight depends on whether Chaolu can pull through..."
The reaction from Chaolu suddenly grew stronger, and Liyin said with a worried expression, "Great Khan, I dare to suggest that the Fourth Prince be temporarily restrained with ropes."
Everyone was stunned.
Rein explained, "I'm afraid the Fourth Prince might hurt himself when he gets excited..."
Chao Lu's wails grew louder and louder, and he seemed about to crash into the wall, but Ruan Yu and Madam Qiu suddenly pulled him back.
When Madam Qiu reached out, her fingertips seemed to be burned by Chao Lu's skin, and then he abruptly slapped them away—
The man was like a trapped beast out of control, his back arched like a taut bowstring.
Upon seeing this, Lady Qiu immediately burst into tears: "Chao Lu... my son..."
"Your Majesty, look..."
Seeing his son like this, Hurile could only nod with a heavy heart.
Rein and Has immediately stepped forward, and the two big men together barely managed to restrain Chaolu.
"Your Highness! I have offended Your Highness!"
"Don't touch me!"
Chao Lu roared, completely devoid of reason, his voice shattered like cloth torn by a gale, his bloodshot eyes churning with a destructive desire.
Ruan Yu felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Hurile: "What other way is there!"
Has bound Chaolu's hands. Chaolu was extremely strong, and Has used all his strength, causing the veins on Chaolu's forehead to bulge.
"Your Highness...!"
As Ruan Yu looked at the pained and contorted expression on Chao Lu's face, and saw that his once clear eyes were now filled with only chaotic violence, tears welled up in her eyes without warning.
"Chaolu! Look at me!"
Ruan Yu suddenly rushed towards Chao Lu and stood in front of Has, "Chao Lu, it's me..."
"An'an!"
Hela tried to pull Ruan Yu away, but was blocked by Chaolu's movement. Seeing that Has alone couldn't subdue him, Turing and Bayar arrived at the tent at that moment—
"Fourth Brother!"
Has was violently thrown to the ground by Chaolu, and the rope that had just bound Chaolu was instantly broken in two!
Hurile also strode forward, ready to hug his son himself, but suddenly everyone noticed that Ruan Yu, who was closest to Chaolu, had not been shaken off by him.
Instead, he trapped her in a corner.
Chao Lu's voice was heavy with panting as he continued to struggle, but just as a faint fragrance lingered around his nose, his frenzied energy seemed to be suddenly drained away.
It was a unique, warm scent, like a clear spring, gently flowing through his chaotic thoughts.
Ruan Yu was startled when Chao Lu threw Has to the ground, but for some reason, Chao Lu did not do anything to harm her.
Instead, he moved even closer to her, his breath tentatively catching her scent, as if confirming something.
"Chao Lu...?"
Ruan Yu slowly came to her senses and looked at the man in front of her.
Chaolu's eyes were still bloodshot, but when he looked at her, he seemed to have some remaining rationality. His tense body gradually relaxed, and his struggling movements stopped, leaving only his heavy breathing echoing in the room.
Everyone was stunned.
Hurile looked at Liyin, who was even more bewildered.
I've never seen anything like this before.
The Chaha tribe wasn't without people who had been infected with the wolf poison curse. When it flared up, they were like a raging wolf, tearing, howling, and utterly devoid of dignity...
Even with his hands and feet restrained, he couldn't hold back during the second attack and bit his tongue, committing suicide.
I have never heard of a wolfsbane poison being able to control itself when it flares up during a full moon.
But what I saw before my eyes...
After Haas got up from the ground, he was about to go forward again, but Chao Lu went berserk again! He glared at Haas fiercely, like a beast turning around to bite. Ruan Yu had finally realized what was happening: "Mother, you all go out first!"
"An'an!"
"It's alright! Chaolu won't hurt me!"
Ruan Yu is not an impulsive person. In many situations, she will rationally weigh the pros and cons.
Now, upon closer analysis, it was a risky move, but for some reason, she was so certain of it.
The Great Khan seemed to have realized something as well, and suddenly ordered, "Get out, all of you. Your presence will only make Chaolu uneasy."
Indeed, it was true that both Haas and Turing's attempts to approach would have enraged Chaolu, but Ruan Yu, standing right in front of him, was merely cornered by him.
You could even say it's not about being forced, but rather like someone who doesn't like their things being coveted, so they want to be confined to the most hidden place.
Although both Mrs. Qiu and Hela were filled with deep worry, there was really no better solution given the current situation.
So everyone slowly withdrew from the tent...
Hurile certainly wouldn't go far. Since the Great Khan returned, this temporary camp has been as airtight as an iron net.
Lady Qiu was chilled by the cold wind, and suddenly looked at the strong man beside her: "Great Khan, there are some things I must tell you."
...
Inside the tent.
After everyone had left, the incense burner lingered in Riin's hand, its fragrance growing ever stronger.
He said it was a calming medicinal scent.
For the manic Chao Lu, it was a soothing balm, but for Ruan Yu, the fragrance was a bit too strong, making her thoughts somewhat sluggish.
At this moment, she was trapped in a corner by Chaolu, his strong forearm pressing between her and the wall, with nowhere to escape.
"Chao Lu, you..."
Ruan Yu tried to speak to him, but she soon realized that Chao Lu couldn't understand what she was saying.
A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Then, he suddenly lunged at Ruan Yu...
...
Ruan Yu almost cried out.
Because Chaolu bit her neck.
It must have been a bite; she felt the skin on her neck being gently lifted by sharp teeth.
Ruan Yu gasped, not feeling the expected pain, but rather a tingling, numb sensation that made her scalp twitch.
Chaolu simply held the piece of flesh in his mouth and gently rubbed it.
There was no biting or sucking.
No, he realized it very quickly.
It turned into sucking.
The absurd thought that "I seem to be learning very quickly" suddenly flashed into Ruan Yu's mind at an inopportune moment.
What is she thinking...?
But the next moment, just as she had thought, Chao Lu's primal actions triggered some instincts, and a hot, indistinct sound came from his throat.
Soon, a series of red marks were left on Ruan Yu's fair neck.
Chaolu sucked and frantically absorbed the fluids.
To absorb her flavor and essence.
That wasn't the smell of incense, but rather the scent emanating from the person in front of me.
A refreshing, sweet fragrance can soothe all anxiety.
Chao Lu looked at the person, but he couldn't really see Ruan Yu's face clearly. However, a voice kept screaming and roaring in his mind.
He liked this little person.
I love her scent, everything about her.
But another terrifying feeling is also raging.
They pounded his brain like a hammer.
Destroy, devour, tear apart everything around you—
Pain reappeared in Chaolu's eyes, and his large hand seemed to swing uncontrollably.
The sound of fabric being torn filled the air—
Ruan Yu exclaimed in surprise, and then the pleasant fragrance became even stronger.
The cool touch once again barely brought Chaolu back to his senses...
Ruan Yu covered himself, suddenly feeling a wave of shame. Could it be that he was thinking...?
"Chao Lu, calm down, calm down..." Ruan Yu gasped repeatedly, trying to communicate with him.
However, saying such things to someone who is being tormented by Gu poison is nothing short of delusional.
Because when she was speaking, Chaolu's eyes were fixed on her lips and tongue.
Her bright red tongue and white teeth made a strong impression on him.
He's going to bite here.
This place can only swallow him.
Chao Lu let out another gasp and lunged at Ruan Yu...
………………
Rein said that.
When the wolf gu poison takes effect, it's like turning into a beast.
For animals, some things are like instincts.
Some intermittent sounds came from inside the tent, but they were very faint.
Because Chaolu always kept people hidden in his shadow, not allowing anyone to peek or covet.
This is a declaration of possessiveness.
The incense in the incense burner had completely burned out, and the entire tent was filled with a rich fragrance.
Ruan Yu felt herself enveloped by the scent, which made her thoughts somewhat unlike her own.
At first, she was a little scared.
But later... there was no pain of being hurt, only endless sweetness and intimacy.
All the words that reached his lips were swallowed back down by the man.
He was so domineering that he wouldn't even allow anyone to hear his voice.
Her knees were a little sore from being scraped on the ground.
She tried to turn around and push him away, but Chaolu leaned down and pressed her down again.
He licked away his tears one by one.
They enjoy it immensely and find it delightful.
As the last incense sticks in the incense burner burned out, the first rays of dawn rose.
The full moon has passed.
Ruan Yu was completely exhausted and huddled in a corner, while a glimmer of clarity returned to the eyes of the man behind her.
He seemed somewhat taken aback, then a hint of regret flashed across his face.
But in the end, she just stared at him without blinking.
His eyes regained their tenderness—
He straightened up halfway and casually pulled the animal skin off the bed to wrap the person up.
There were sounds of people walking back and forth outside the tent.
As dawn broke, Chaolu finally regained full consciousness.
…………
Last night.
Lady Qiu and Hurileche talked for a long time, while Hela and Turing stayed outside the tent without leaving for a moment.
Buhe cried and looked for his uncle halfway through, and Hela came over again after coaxing her son to sleep.
The tent was too quiet, and everyone felt uneasy.
Riin began to doubt his own judgment.
Until the tent flap was lifted, everyone turned around abruptly—
Chao Lu had already come out.
Although there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes, he looked completely awake.
"Chao Lu!"
Hela was overjoyed.
Riin's eyes widened: "Your Highness..."
Chao Lu's gaze swept over the crowd.
Finally, the focus shifted to Xuan Niang and Qing Guo.
"No one is allowed to receive funds at will today, and the Khatun must not be disturbed."
