Chapter 39: He went crazy last night. Was she willing? Or...
The next day, when the first ray of sunlight rose.
Li Jing slowly regained consciousness. The moment he opened his eyes, he subconsciously spread murderous intent towards the people around him.
But the warm, soft touch beneath him made him pull his hand back. His palm hung in mid-air, his brows darkening.
He lowered his head stiffly and saw Mu Xingchen sleeping soundly on his chest.
Li Jing closed his eyes almost instantly.
Her clothes were disheveled at the moment, her chest was snow-white, and her skin under the quilt touched him, and it felt almost greasy to the touch.
Li Jing's breathing became nervous and rapid, a flush appeared on his face, his whole body tensed up, and he didn't dare to move at all.
He closed his eyes and recalled what happened last night.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall a single thing.
Last night was a thunderstorm night. The fear in his heart, coupled with unstable breathing and chaotic spiritual power, made him lose his mind.
Last night he...
Li Jing's Adam's apple rolled, and his breathing became increasingly short. Beneath the quilt, Mu Xingchen's naked skin pressed tightly against his, warm and soft, revealing nothing of what had happened last night.
In his sleep, Mu Xingchen turned over unconsciously.
Li Jing clearly saw her swollen lips, which were almost covered with bite marks, and her neck was also bruised. Looking at this scene, he could easily imagine what was underneath the quilt after he lifted it.
At this moment, the pain on Li Jing's lips gradually came.
What a bastard thing he did!!!
A surge of panic and throbbing came over my heart.
He went crazy last night. Did she do it willingly? Or...
Mu Xingchen turned over again, holding his waist tightly with both hands, and muttered: "Brother Jing."
Li Jing's breath was choked, and a strong sour feeling came from his chest.
Did she like him that much, even before she married him?
Mu Xingchen, if you knew my identity, would you still like me?
This blurted-out name made Li Jing's pupils narrow suddenly. Mu? Xing? Chen?
He stared at her intently.
"Mu Xingchen?" he muttered softly.
Mu Xingchen slowly opened her eyes, and she unconsciously said coquettishly: "Brother Jing, you're awake."
Li Jing's heart skipped a beat, and then it started beating wildly.
Brother Jing? She called him that?
He treated her like this, yet she was still full of dependence on him.
Is she sure he will marry her? What if he doesn't?
Li Jing took a deep breath to calm himself down. He looked at her with a complicated expression: "Mu Xingchen, you are not Mu Qing?"
Mu Xingchen replied vaguely: "It's a nickname, given by my mother. Brother Jing, you can call me Xingchen from now on." After that, she fell asleep again.
Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at the little face wrapped in the quilt, and the frost on the face gradually melted.
Now that things have come to this, he can no longer deceive himself.
Now that he has fallen in love with her, he will never let her go in this life.
"Mu Xingchen, don't regret it. I clearly warned you many times." As he spoke, his pupils began to stand up and the scales on his neck gradually appeared.
The whole room was filled with evil spirit again.
The demonic aura tightly wrapped around Mu Xingchen. This was the special aura belonging to Li Jing.
He stroked her hair lovingly, scales beginning to appear on his face.
He could hardly bear it any longer.
The next second, the figure in the room disappeared.
Mu Xingchen opened her eyes and frowned slightly. There was another strong demonic aura.
This demonic energy was terrifyingly dense and damp. Last night during the thunderstorm, I hadn't felt the demonic energy was this heavy, but today...
Mu Xingchen looked at the sunlight coming in through the window.
What kind of demon is he? Why is his aura so gloomy?
Is it because they have killed too many people?
Mu Xingchen's brows relaxed. Right, if she had a grudge against the human race, her hands would definitely be bloody, and so would she.
She yawned and took the bracelet out from under her pillow.
While the man was unconscious, she went to the cliff at night and retrieved Mu Qing's engagement bracelet.
"I'm sleepy." She fell down and closed her eyes slightly. She really didn't sleep all night last night.
Xiao Qi said regretfully, "I should have put him to sleep last night while he was unconscious. There won't be such a good opportunity next time. I can always get the bracelet."
"Wrong, the order is wrong. If I'm not careful when taking the bracelet, it will arouse suspicion. I can't risk being exposed." She turned over and continued to mutter, "Besides, he's half dead, so it's not okay."
Xiaoqi was silent.
She felt it was a pity that she didn't fall asleep, but once she said no...
There's nothing we can do about it, it looks good but is useless.
Mu Xingchen continued to sleep soundly.
Unexpectedly, after a while, the man came back with a lunch box in his hand, silently looking at Mu Xingchen who was sleeping soundly.
"Mu...Xingchen." He bent down stiffly, trying to lower his voice and call her gently, but perhaps because he had never spoken like this in his life, his tone seemed even more stiff.
Mu Xingchen replied vaguely: "Hmm?"
"I brought some porridge. Eat it before going to sleep." A slight blush spread across his neck.
Mu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. She opened her eyes and looked at him with some confusion.
Li Jing's heart skipped a beat when he saw her naive expression. Didn't she think that he would bring her breakfast?
After a tiring night, I can’t just go to bed hungry.
Seeing that Mu Xingchen didn't answer, Li Jing asked, "Should I feed you?"
Mu Xingchen's breath was choked, and he wondered in his heart: "He must be sick."
Although she was cursing in her heart, she said with a shy look of being touched: "Brother Jing, you are so kind."
Li Jing curled his lips and smiled. He opened the food box in his hand, and the rich aroma of porridge filled the air in an instant.
When he said he would feed her, he meant it.
In the room, Li Jing took a spoon and fed him little by little.
His movements were mechanically stiff, and his aura was sometimes heavy and sometimes dark. Anyone who saw it would find the scene very strange.
Mu Xingchen actually didn't have much of an appetite, and being around her made people shiver from time to time.
It's summer now and the weather is still quite hot, which is really not right.
"I don't want to eat anymore." Mu Xingchen said timidly.
Li Jing looked at the bowl of porridge that was still half full, his eyes darkened, "You are too thin, let Qi Feng help you to replenish your body in the future."
Mu Xingchen nodded and smiled sweetly at him, "Thank you, Brother Jing."
Li Jing coughed uncomfortably and said, "No thanks."
The air in the room fell silent, and the two looked at each other.
Mu Xingchen looked at him, blinking her big eyes.
What do you mean, why aren’t you leaving yet???
Li Jing frowned slightly and asked, "Do you want to go with me?"
Mu Xingchen asked doubtfully, "Where are you going?"
"I'm leaving the Mu family and never coming back." Li Jing said this with a heavy tone, and it was obvious that this was the result of his careful consideration.
He didn't say where he was going, he only gave the result, not the process.
If it was the Yuegan tribe's lair, she would be quite interested, but based on his current trust in her, he would probably keep her like a canary, confining her somewhere, giving her enough money and wealth, and the occasional freedom to indulge herself.
Why do people love pets? They bring positive emotional value, who doesn't like them?
It’s just a pity that she admires Xingchen, so if she wants to support someone, she has to support someone else.
"Why aren't you talking?" Li Jing asked.
Mu Xingchen lowered his head and said somewhat disappointedly, "I can't leave."
Li Jing frowned slightly: "Why?"
"I..." Mu Xingchen raised her head and looked at Li Jing hesitantly. Slowly, her eyes reddened: "I left with... Master Jing. We eloped. I can't do such a thing."
After saying this, she lowered her head and bit her lips tightly as if she had suffered a great injustice, but refused to cry out.
Li Jing's eyes were stunned. She felt that he did not give her a legitimate status, and taking her away like this was not right, would be ridiculed by others, and would lose his integrity.
She was sad that he treated her like this.
She wanted a status, but didn't dare to say it directly.
Li Jing sighed softly. He walked forward, ruffled her hair, and said softly, "From now on, just tell me what you want. Don't be so aggrieved, okay?"
Mu Xingchen was confused. What did she want? She just didn't want to go with him.
Li Jing continued, "I'll find a way."
Mu Xingchen was even more confused. What could she do? She just didn't want to go with him!
Li Jing smiled, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He held her waist and said as kindly as possible, "Lie down."
Mu Xingchen followed his movements and lay down in confusion.
Then Li Jing lifted the quilt with his hand. Under the quilt, Mu Xingchen was only wearing a bellyband and a pair of translucent gauze pants.
She calmly turned sideways to cover the wound on her waist.
What is he doing? He didn’t sleep last night when he was confused, and now he’s doing it during the day?
No, does he have any memory?
The next second, Li Jing began to unbutton her pants without saying a word.
Mu Xingchen pretended to be shy and dodged. She asked in surprise, "Master Jing, what are you doing?"
Li Jing seemed dissatisfied with her address. His face darkened slightly and he whispered, "What did you call me?"
Mu Xingchen's face flushed immediately and she said, "Jing...Brother Jing..."
Li Jing curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
He took out a purple gilded porcelain bottle from his arms.
"I have no memory of last night. I was afraid of hurting you, so I asked Qi Feng for medicine." His face flushed a little as he spoke.
Mu Xingchen's heart sank, and she clenched her fingers on the other side, "I, I didn't..." Her face flushed as she lowered her head and whispered, "No need."
Li Jing just thought she was shy, he pursed his lips and said: "Can you do it yourself?"
Mu Xingchen silently took the medicine from his hand.
She kept her body sideways from beginning to end, not daring to turn around at all. Li Jing just thought she was shy.
"Tell me if you need anything. I'll let Fengxue protect you. You must eat three meals a day on time. I'll come pick you up when I'm ready."
Mu Xingchen nodded obediently, "Okay, Brother Jing."
Li Jing touched her head and pulled the quilt up to cover her. "Let's go. You can sleep for a while. Fengxue will bring you lunch at noon."
Mu Xingchen nodded shyly.
This time, Li Jing walked out from the main door, and after he went out, he quietly closed the door.
It's a rare courtesy.
Mu Xingchen yawned, pretending to be unhappy. "I've just replaced the humanoid surveillance camera again. Come to think of it, I'm still losing money on this deal. Life is precious, but freedom is even more valuable."
Xiao Qi said bluntly, "What business? What did you have to do business with him? It's clearly your unilateral profiteering, okay? You have to make sacrifices when necessary, right? It's just a little freedom, isn't it? It doesn't matter. Once you recover your cultivation, you can dump him openly."
Mu Xingchen smiled and said, "No, it's business. I exchanged my beauty."
...If possible, Xiao Qi really wants to roll her eyes at her to see who is coveting whose beauty?
"Next time, I will definitely succeed."
"Any plans in mind?"
"There are plenty of them. When his injuries get better, he will definitely not be able to escape from my grasp." After saying that, a gleam of light flashed in Mu Xingchen's eyes. Xiao Qi shook in the bracelet, and there was about to be another good show to watch.
The wonderful life always continues.
