Taking the thermos from the tray, Arthur twisted the lid open with his slender fingers, and a rich aroma immediately wafted out of the cup.
“Baby, come on, drink this.”
The familiar aroma wafted into Xia Linyin's nostrils, instantly invigorating her. This was the soup Arthur had brought her last time; it was not only delicious but also had miraculous effects, capable of relieving fatigue and pain.
Although she wanted to refuse with dignity, Xia Linyin couldn't help but open her mouth and drink when Arthur brought the thermos to her lips and the rich, fragrant aroma filled her nose.
Looking at Xia Linyin drinking soup, Arthur's blue eyes filled with tenderness, and his smile deepened. He said meaningfully, "Baby, drink more. Your body is too weak."
After finishing all the soup in the thermos, Xia Linyin felt like she had come back to life, no longer feeling like her whole body was about to fall apart from the slightest movement.
However, she didn't have much energy for long before Arthur's seductive voice rang in her ear, "Baby, you're very tired. Get some sleep, and you'll feel better when you wake up."
Arthur gently stroked Xia Linyin's hair, watching her slowly close her eyes and fall asleep. He then lowered his head and kissed Xia Linyin's forehead.
“I’ve never been so happy before,” Arthur said earnestly.
With a smile on his lips, Arthur gazed intently at Xia Linyin's peaceful sleeping face. Meeting her had turned all his misfortunes into fortune, and he realized that his heart could beat after all.
As he looked, the man suddenly grinned, a childlike smile that seemed out of place with his mature demeanor appearing on his handsome face. "I've got my sister."
His dazzling white teeth were almost blinding. The man smiled with a childlike air, as if he had finally obtained the candy he had been longing for, and that candy tasted so sweet and so satisfying.
An antique ring appeared in his hand. He slipped it onto Xia Linyin's ring finger, his eyes lowered, his long eyelashes casting a faint shadow beneath his eyelids. His movements were so devout and solemn. "Sister, I will take responsibility for you, take responsibility—"
"Life after life."
His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry immense weight. As the last word fell, the ring on Xia Linyin's ring finger flashed with white light and then disappeared.
He affectionately nuzzled Xia Linyin's head, holding her tightly in his arms. The man's gaze was chilling, an intense tenderness and possessiveness that suffocated anyone within his sight like vines.
Once you're hooked, there's no escaping it; you're consumed by its corrosive influence and sink into depravity.
...
"Dear players, there are three days left until the mission ends. Players who have not left Misty Town to complete the mission after three days will be eliminated."
"If you haven't left Misty Town yet, hurry up and leave, or you won't have another chance to leave."
After reading the words that appeared in her palm, Xia Linyin's heart was not greatly affected, and her expression did not change at all. She felt that her current situation was no better than being wiped out.
Ten days! She stayed in bed for a full ten days without getting up!
Arthur served him everything, from eating and drinking to using the toilet; he couldn't even get out of bed, let alone escape.
As it turns out, once a man who has been celibate for many years breaks his vows, he is more uncontrollable than a wild horse, to the point that Xia Linyin wonders if she might die in bed one day.
However, whenever she had such thoughts in her daze, the magical soup would pull her back from the brink of collapse, over and over again.
Especially in the last two or three days, Arthur Li has become increasingly demanding and his actions have become more and more ruthless. Several times, when people meet Arthur Li's gaze, they are terrified, fearing that they will be devoured alive by him at any moment.
Who says there are no fields ruined by over-cultivation, only oxen that die from exhaustion? If things continue like this, she will definitely become the first field to be ruined by over-cultivation.
The click of the door lock opening sent a chill down Xia Linyin's spine, and her legs began to tremble involuntarily.
She was truly terrified of being treated like this; now, the mere sight of Arthur makes her legs go weak and her whole body tremble.
Wearing his pajamas, Arthur pushed open the door and entered. Like a noble and elegant leopard approaching its prey, he slowly walked towards Xia Linyin. When he saw the fear and wariness in Xia Linyin's eyes, his eyes darkened.
As Arthur approached, Xia Linyin's legs grew weaker and weaker. By the time Arthur reached the bedside, Xia Linyin's legs had turned as limp as noodles.
Arthur Li threw back the covers and crawled into bed, pulling Xia Linyin, who was trying to get away from him, into his arms. He gently patted her and soothed her, saying, "Go to sleep. I won't touch you tonight."
"Goodnight, baby." After saying goodnight, Arthur closed his eyes.
Time passed by, and she heard the man's soft breathing behind her. The man's hands and feet remained still and did not move. After confirming that Arthur would not touch her tonight, Xia Linyin's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. She could finally get a good rest tonight. She was really afraid that Arthur's energy would never run out.
As her tense nerves relaxed and she drifted off to sleep, Xia Linyin felt something heavy pressing down on her, and she jolted awake.
Under the dim light of the bedside lamp, the man's handsome face resembled a seductive ghost or a demon. His once azure eyes were now churning with blood, a blood-red that was both breathtaking and chilling.
Something seemed to be struggling to break free from that surging crimson!
Xia Linyin's heart pounded faster and faster. "Arthur, you said you wouldn't touch me tonight!"
The bloodshot in his eyes surged even more violently, so red it seemed as if blood was about to flow out. A ferocious and twisted look flashed across his handsome face. Arthur suddenly bit down on Xia Linyin's neck, with such force that he almost tore a piece of flesh off her neck.
"Ah!" Xia Linyin screamed in agony.
As if pulled back to his senses by Xia Linyin's scream, Arthur stopped moving, a struggle appearing in his blood-red eyes, a salty taste filling his mouth, and veins bulging on his taut arms.
After letting out a low growl, Arthur took a step back, rolled over to the side, and sat on the edge of the bed. Arthur lowered his head and panted heavily like a wild beast.
After a long while, the bloodshot in his eyes faded, and his breathing gradually calmed down. He turned to look at Xia Linyin, who was staring wide-eyed at the ceiling. When he saw the bite marks and bloodstains on her neck, a hint of guilt and a hidden fear flashed across Arthur's face.
If he hadn't stopped in time, would he have bitten through Xia Linyin's carotid artery and sucked her blood like a ravenous beast?
He underestimated the impact of the game's design on him.
