Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Gu Huaijin is dead.
Inside the forbidden area of Lan Pavilion on the snowy peak of Tianshan Mountain, the moon shines halfway up the mountain.
The forbidden area of the Tianshan sect's Lan Pavilion was built atop a solitary peak. Over a thousand feet high, it was narrow and slender, like a dagger thrusting into the night sky. It was connected to the mountains on either side by three thick iron chains.
Gu Huaijin followed her, pushed open the door, and drew aside the tasseled brocade curtain at the entrance of Lan Pavilion.
"Lan Pavilion is a forbidden area. No one comes here on weekdays, so the servants clean it once a month." He turned around and closed the door. "However, today is only the seventh day of the lunar month, so it should have been cleaned only two or three days ago. The tables, chairs, and beds should still be clean. If you're tired, you can lie down and rest."
Inside the Lan Pavilion, there is a table, a chair, a couch, and a wall-high bookshelf. It is simple and neat, so plain that it is almost cold and hard.
After all, it is on such a high snow-capped peak, so it is a bit deserted, which is natural.
Nan Qiongshuang pulled out the wooden chair in front of the table and sat down, looking out the window.
The moonlight was bright and clear, with wisps of cloud fluff hooked on the pointed crescent moon, reflecting off the moonlight in various colors.
Below, thousands of mountains are hidden and the moon's shadows are heavy.
The windows were open. This was considered the Tianshan library, where the Tianshan Heart Sutra was kept, so the windows were always open for ventilation.
"Are you cold?" He leaned over to close the window.
"It's not cold." She looked at the vast Tianshan Mountains under the moonlight. "Open it. You can see more clearly."
Her words always made him think that she was planning to leave.
He walked to her side, without saying a word, picked her up and placed her on the flat, hard wooden couch in the Lan Pavilion, with his hands behind her head, afraid that the wooden pillow would hurt her.
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly let me go..."
Before she finished speaking, he had already bent down and kissed her, pushing her chin up with his thumb, sucking on her soft lips, biting her lip beads, and then opened her mouth to explore the deeper, moist and hot place.
She didn't understand why, but she felt that he kissed her more fiercely than usual, his breath rushing under her nose and lingering on the tip of her tongue.
The tongues rub against each other, giving a subtle grinding sensation.
She uttered a "hmm" and involuntarily tilted her head back to endure it, her breathing becoming more and more rapid, but he had lost even his usual tenderness towards her. The more she couldn't bear it, the more he sucked and bit her, and then he crossed his legs and climbed onto the bed.
"Jiaojiao," he said, panting breathlessly, his voice suppressed, "Today is our engagement day."
"—So, where do you want to go?"
She was speechless.
However, he didn't give her a chance to speak. As soon as he finished speaking, his tongue parted her lips and slipped inside, sucking on them, his tongue entwined with hers, and he even began to suck her saliva, bit by bit, swallowing it all, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
What happened to him? It was like he was suppressing himself and losing control again, just like he always did.
Didn't they find out something about her?
No, he'd better be.
He'd better want to kill her too.
"Speak." He let her go and looked at her lips, which were gorgeous from being sucked too much. "Where do you want to go? Tell me."
How on earth did he know that?
There is an inexplicable tacit understanding between them.
But why should two people who are born to be together for life and death have such a tacit understanding?
"Gu Huaijin, let me ask you something." She took a breath and looked into his eyes, which were inexplicably angry. "You said before that if I died of illness, you would die with me. Do you mean that?"
"It counts." He didn't even hesitate. He held her face and stared at her. "What? Are you sick? Do you think you can't be cured, so you want to leave?"
"Leaving without a word? Leaving without saying goodbye? Just abandoning me like that? - If I hadn't brought you back to the mountain, would you have left at the foot of the mountain, gone with Li Xuanbai?!"
What on earth is he talking about.
"Didn't I tell you," he began to choke up, "If anything happens, tell me and I'll face it with you. Don't try to handle it on your own. I'll help you. Even if there's no solution, there's always a solution. Didn't I tell you that?"
The tears in her eyes accumulated little by little, but she was stubborn and refused to cry.
Really?
Can we face anything together?
Even if I am a spy who is determined to kill you, you will still tolerate me and love me?
--fraud.
Don't try to deceive me with love. Nan Qiong Shuang won't fall for such a trick.
Her chest trembled, tears fell one by one, and she smiled softly:
"What if I were to kill you?"
Gu Huaijin was also panting, his chest heaving, his breath blowing on her face, his eyes, clear and bright, looking into hers.
He smiled and said, "Okay."
Nan Qiong Shuang was stunned.
"Then kill me. Come on, kill me."
He grabbed her hand and pinched it around his neck, his eyes red:
"You're planning to elope with Li Xuanbai down the mountain again, then jump off a waterfall without knowing whether to live or die. We're already engaged, yet you're still thinking of sneaking off the mountain without saying goodbye. Do you think I'm happy to be alive?! Anyway, you've already pissed me off to the point of vomiting blood and having a heart attack. I don't have many days left to live. If you really want me dead, just kill me now!"
She wanted to pull her hand back, but he somehow managed to use so much strength to grab her hand and press it against the side of his neck. She could only feel the blood vessels in her palm throbbing wildly.
"So you're making me so sad because you want to kill me. Then just kill me directly. Why are you making me suffer so much? You disappeared today, fell into the underground palace tomorrow, and jumped off the waterfall the day after tomorrow. After I finally found you, you ignored me again and didn't allow me to sleep with you for several days. You know I love you and I rely on you——"
His voice was filled with tears:
"—You know I can't leave you, and you think about leaving without saying goodbye every day. Am I just someone you can just throw away?! If that's the case, just kill me and I'll be at peace!"
His tears fell on her cheeks, breaking into a few warm puddles.
She panted, reached out her hand, and touched his face carefully and tentatively.
What happened? Something happened to her and she didn't see him for a few days, and he was so tormented that he still remembers it.
Why did it come to this? Gu Huaijin, why did it come to this?
He closed his eyes, his brows cold and impatient, but let her touch him.
But - he said that only because he thought she was just joking when she said she wanted to kill him.
——Just venting my anger, don’t take it seriously.
She laughed: "If you say that, then what about your Tianshan Sect? You are just trying to scare me."
"It's okay. I'll go back and choose an heir."
"What if I want you to die right now?"
She stared at him intently, waiting for his answer.
If he could abandon his sect and die for her, she would be willing to fight to the death and betray the Wangsheng Sect for him.
Even if it means betraying all your past beliefs and being willing to fail at the last moment.
Does he dare?
He just smiled and said, "Then you should get pregnant with a child for me now."
He bent down and peeled off her collar, which burst open, revealing a large area of bare, smooth neck and shoulders. He closed his eyes and bit it.
She almost screamed.
With her chin tilted back, her neck stretched uncontrollably, and her hands grasped his back.
She had never seen Gu Huaijin like this before. The man who used to speak softly and be gentle to everyone was now frowning and kissing the most delicate skin on her neck. He bit it, rubbing his tongue around it, and sucking it with his mouth, almost sucking away her sanity.
Retaliation and threats.
She only felt like a rabbit caught in the mouth of a wild beast. Not only was her throat grabbed, but before she died, she was also forced to struggle and use her moans to please his desire to win.
"You..." She opened her mouth and realized her throat was so soft, "Huai Jin, you——"
He knew her weakness best and would never let it go easily. When he heard her syrupy voice, his head buzzed.
It turns out that this is how her voice sounds when she is moved.
After all this time, he was lucky enough to hear it only once.
He kissed her along her neck, which she was trying to avoid, and his hand followed the curve of her waist, caressing it smoothly.
She was so frightened that she doubled over, not knowing whether to hide up or down, and her head was pressed against her shoulder: "Huai Jin, Huai Jin!"
"What?" He kissed her all the way down from the collar, hesitating only for a moment.
There was a slight roughness in the palm of his hand, but the rest of his body was so soft that he was bewildered.
She felt like a piece of raw dough, being kneaded and flattened in someone's palm. Not only was it difficult for her to control the situation, she was also out of control and had no idea where she was being taken.
——This won’t work at all.
If this goes on, when will it end? Am I really going to end up fighting with him here to no end?
He suddenly exclaimed, "Jiaojiao. You have a mole here."
Of course she knows where her mole is.
But.
Could it be that he...
He closed his eyes, put his lips on hers, and sucked and bit her.
She couldn't control herself and sighed and hummed for a moment. Only after the sound came out did she realize what it was. She bit the back of her hand and raised her head in a cold sweat.
Cutting with a blunt knife. This torture is like drinking poison to quench thirst, like cutting with a blunt knife.
This won't work.
She said, "Huai Jin!"
"What?" He looked up. The usually elegant and polite man actually raised an eyebrow in disdain. "We're engaged. You promised me yourself. Now, you're mine. It's just a matter of time. What's wrong with that?"
“No way!”
He sneered.
He put his hands under her neck, hugged her, and regardless of her struggles, tilted his head and kissed her deeply. In a few seconds, he unbuttoned the buttons on his chest and took them off.
As soon as she saw his posture, she knew something was wrong. Suddenly, a mountain breeze blew in from the window. She pinched her throat and said, "It's too cold, Huaijin, close the window."
He stopped with difficulty, closed his eyes, took two deep breaths, and finally decided to get up and close the window.
As he leaned forward, the mountain-suppressing jade token he had always carried on his chest hit her nose squarely.
She hissed and felt cold all over.
——The Mountain Guarding Jade Plate is right before my eyes, and it’s time to stop fooling around.
Today was her last day with him. This moment was the very last.
We can't delay this any longer.
Gu Huaijin closed the window and came back, his eyes hazy, and kissed her forehead again.
She held his face, touching his brow, but stopped him, not allowing him to go any further.
A pair of eyes, calm and clear, like a judge deciding a case.
"Gu Huaijin, this is the first time I ask you this, and it will be the last time."
Her tone was so unyielding that he was stunned for a moment.
"You and your sect, who do you choose?"
He didn't understand why she asked that.
But he replied: "Sect."
"You and me, who do you choose?"
He looked into her eyes: "You."
She curled her lips dryly, and her eyelashes trembled a little.
"So," she said with a slightly sarcastic smile, "who do you choose, me or your sect?"
If you don't choose me, it means you will kill me because of my identity.
There was an unbearable silence.
Gu Huaijin remained silent for a long time. The beads of sweat on her forehead, sparkling with emotion, reminded her of the day he bore seventy lashes for her, standing alone in the room, looking foolish and forcing himself forward.
She is a person who never believes what anyone says.
But, if it was Gu Huaijin.
She was willing to take a risk and believe it once.
Gu Huaijin didn't know where he was looking, he kept his eyes down and didn't speak for a long time.
Outside the window, a jackdaw flew across the night sky, letting out a miserable cry.
He had been silent for too long.
It was so long that she felt cold, so long that she lost her patience, so long that their telepathy started to play tricks on her again. She didn't need him to answer, because she already knew his answer.
However, when he was silent, his long eyelashes fluttered like small feather fans.
You see, she even thought he looked pretty when he wanted to give up on her.
Is she too stupid?
Gu Huaijin's breath suddenly stopped for a moment. Then, he took several deep breaths, heavy, disorderly, and without any rhythm.
Then, it stopped.
She let go of the soft sword in her sleeve and watched calmly, with her eyes wide open and a normal expression, as he lost focus and fell to the ground under the bed.
Outside the window, there was a dazzling light.
She looked out blankly.
Under the night sky, thousands of mountains are hidden and the moon's shadows are heavy.
The Qiqiao Festival fireworks finally rose into the sky, lighting up the entire Tianshan Mountains.
