Chapter 53 "If you dare let him bite you, I'll kill him!"
When the two returned to the inn, they ran into Yu Qianling and his group who were returning from their trip. "Junior Brother, why didn't you say you were coming back?"
"Oh, I forgot."
Yu Qianling handed him a few skewers of candied hawthorn, "Here, I heard from Fifth Junior Brother that you like to eat them, so I bought you a few skewers."
"Hehe, thank you, Third Senior Sister!"
After chatting for a while, the group went back to their rooms.
Ye Luo ate the candied hawthorn with relish. Jun Yi, who was standing next to her, watched with a slight change in his eyes and asked, "Why do you love sweets so much?"
"Eating sweets can make me feel happy and give me lots of energy!"
"Really? I'll try some too." Jun Yi leaned over and ate a candied hawthorn. The cloying sweetness made his expression indescribable.
"Why did you eat my food!"
Seeing his possessive manner, Jun Yi couldn't help but chuckle, "You little ingrate."
When Ye Luo finished her fifth skewer, she looked at Jun Yi and asked seriously, "Yin Bao, what's wrong with your headache?"
"It was due to the cultivation technique, but it seems to be fine now."
Jun Yi's eyes flickered slightly as he picked him up and buried his face in the crook of his neck. "This is all thanks to you."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
“The scent on you seems to soothe my pain, and…” Jun Yi pressed his tongue against his fangs, his throat bobbing a few times before continuing, “your blood seems to be even more effective.”
"Yeah?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo was somewhat surprised, then exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something, "So... that's why you always bite me?"
No wonder! This guy bites him every now and then, either on the side of his neck or his shoulder and back. Now it's even worse; he's biting his butt!
"Damn it! You...you actually treated me like a medicine bag!" Ye Luo glared at him angrily.
Jun Yi's golden eyes gleamed softly in the candlelight. He couldn't help but kiss the tip of her small nose and chuckled, "That's right, you are my elixir."
Every time I smell his sweet fragrance, I can't help but want to bully him...
"snort!"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ye Luo's mind: "So... perhaps my blood will have some effect on Senior Brother..."
"No!"
Upon hearing this, Jun Yi's face darkened. He was always reluctant to take much of it, yet this little guy was thinking of giving it to others!
"I'm just guessing... His situation is similar to yours, and I don't know if it will work. Maybe I'll have to think of other methods."
"Other methods?"
Jun Yi's face turned icy cold. He placed his thick hand on the back of his neck and said in a deep voice, "If you dare let him bite you, I'll kill him!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo froze for a few seconds, her ears turning red. She said, embarrassed and annoyed, "What are you thinking?! I wanted to try refining other pills, how could I let someone else bite me!"
Like a wild beast guarding its prey, Jun Yi gently kissed and licked the glands on Ye Luo's neck, causing Ye Luo to tremble uncontrollably. "Stop it..."
After a long while, Ye Luo, her cheeks flushed and eyes filled with spring, looked down at the mottled red marks on Jun Yi's neck, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.
"You're always bullying me..."
Jun Yi remained calm and did not refute. After a long while, he sighed and said, "I know that you fellow disciples have a deep bond, but it's best not to let them know about the many secrets you have."
I know what you mean.
Ye Luo leaned against him and said again, "But Senior Brother, I must find a way to save him!"
Since they came into this world, they have become an integral part of his world, and it is no exaggeration to call them his close family. How could he allow tragedy to happen again?
Looking into his determined eyes, Jun Yi naturally understood his thoughts and sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, this can't be rushed, go to sleep."
Ye Luo obediently hummed in agreement, then suddenly felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her and quickly drifted off to sleep.
Jun Yi looked down at the sleeping person, glanced out the window, and said, "Come in."
With a few whooshing sounds, several black figures appeared in the room. The one in the lead, Ling Lie, had bloodshot eyes and knelt down with a thud, saying, "Your Excellency, it's so good that you're alright!"
"Your subordinates have failed in their duty; please punish us, Your Majesty!"
"Tsk, keep your voice down!" Jun Yi frowned slightly, gently patted Ye Luo's shoulder and back, and whispered to lull her to sleep.
Although he used a sleep spell on Ye Luo, it was still possible to wake him up. Sure enough, the person in his arms mumbled a few words of dissatisfaction in his sleep, and then continued to sleep against his chest.
When Ling Lie and the others saw this, they were almost speechless with shock. Was this still their cold and ruthless Lord?
The group of people looked on with curiosity as they gazed at the sleeping, handsome young man.
"Don't you want your eyes anymore?"
The sudden sense of oppression sent chills down Ling Lie and the others' spines. They said, "Your Excellency, please forgive us..."
"How's the investigation going?" Jun Yi asked, a murderous glint in his eyes.
Ling Lie: "Reporting to Your Majesty, they are from the City of Ten Thousand Sins, and it seems that other forces are also secretly helping them."
"who?"
"Your Excellency, please forgive us, the investigation is still ongoing..."
A flicker of anger flashed in Jun Yi's eyes, and just as he was about to explode, the little one in his arms half-closed his eyes and mumbled, "Yinbao... what's wrong with you..."
Ye Luo keenly sensed the chilling aura emanating from him and was involuntarily awakened.
"It's okay, you can go back to sleep." Jun Yi rubbed his hair and glared at the people kneeling in front of the bed.
Ling Lie and the others bowed their heads to the ground, feeling inexplicably grateful to Ye Luo. If it weren't for his timely help, they would probably have been scolded again.
"As for the Dragon Palace... you should inform the Grand Palace Master that I will not be returning for the time being."
"Huh? This..."
Ling Lie's face was full of worry as he said, "Your Excellency, you mustn't! The lower cultivation world is fraught with danger, and besides, your body has not yet recovered..."
"I have made my decision. You may all leave."
Ling Lie remained kneeling, pondering for a long time before relenting, and said in compromise, "Then let my subordinates protect you secretly. It will be easier for them to explain to the Grand Palace Master..."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yi frowned and looked at them. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Forget it. Be careful to conceal your identities, lest you jeopardize my plans."
"Yes, yes!" Ling Lie and the others breathed a sigh of relief. If they had listened to him and gone back like this, being beaten by the Grand Palace Master would have been the least of their worries. They would have had no choice but to follow this master for refuge.
Just as the group bowed and withdrew, Jun Yi suddenly called out to Ling Lie, "Wait, how many spirit stones do you have on you?"
"About seven million."
"Give it all to me."
"Huh? You want it all?" Ling Lie looked at the people behind him and chuckled dryly, "Your Excellency, at least leave some for us..."
Jun Yi frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Then you leave 100,000 spirit stones. If that's not enough, go to the Heavenly Sect to buy on credit."
Ling Lie: "..."
For someone from the prestigious Dragon Palace to actually try to buy on credit, wouldn't that be a laughing stock? He couldn't bear the shame!
So, after much pleading, they were only given a round number of six million. Under Jun Yi's angry gaze, they quickly fled with their subordinates.
