Chapter 52: Freedom to Swear In this world, anyone can be afraid of me,...
Mu Xingchen was so annoyed that her head was hot and her body felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to die.
She tried to move but found that her hands were also tied. "Bastard!" she cursed in her heart.
Mu Xingchen struggled, using a little shrewdness to free herself from the ropes around her wrists. As she did so, two large red marks appeared on her wrists. Little did she know that these two red marks, branded against her snow-white skin, would only make her visual sense more irrational.
Li Jing narrowed his eyes in fear. He had been kind enough not to tie her up tightly, but she had recklessly struggled to break free.
Just as she was about to tear the cloth from her eyes, a stream of hot breath blocked her mouth. At the same time, her hands lost their freedom again.
Without caring about anything else, Mu Xingchen seemed to have found the antidote and madly absorbed his breath.
She sighed and wanted to look at him. She wanted to appreciate the visual beauty of him at this moment, but he held her wrist tightly and she couldn't move at all.
She frowned and wanted to protest, but he blocked her mouth tightly and she couldn't say a word.
But it doesn't matter. Although she feels a little sorry in her heart, this is not the time to care about it, because she is too tortured by the desire for drugs.
If she could see now, she would see that Li Jing's pupils, which used to be purple, had turned completely black, even the whites of his eyes were pitch black. His pupils were eerie and terrifying, no longer the purple, star-like appearance they once were.
The dark scales that appeared on his neck expanded and contracted, sometimes becoming extremely sharp as if strangling prey, and sometimes retracting softly, emitting gentle worry.
His temperament was also fragmented like scales, sometimes violent as if wanting to strangle his prey, and sometimes gentle and caring.
Even Mu Xingchen, with her foggy mind, instinctively sensed the danger of this profound lack of control. Especially now that she had lost her freedom, like a fish on a sticky surface, at the mercy of others. This situation suited her current personality, but not Mu Xingchen's rationality.
So she frowned and began to try to avoid the impending danger.
The person on top of her felt her avoidance, paused for a moment, and then grabbed her ankle with a terrifying grip. The force was so tight it hurt, like a declaration of sovereignty.
He declared his sovereignty over her in a domineering and unreasonable manner, which made Mu Xingchen instinctively feel a little uncomfortable.
He didn't allow her to hide.
Li Jing's hot breath whispered in her ear, "Anyone in this world can be afraid of me, hide from me, and kill me. But you can't. You are not allowed to hide from me or be afraid of me, unless you kill me." He began to caress her eyebrows and said in her ear with extreme tenderness, "You don't know how determined I was to walk towards you. You took the initiative first, so you are not allowed to let me down."
These words made Mu Xingchen almost drown in his tenderness.
In the past, she had only heard his cold tone, sharp and murderous. This was the first time he used such a lingering tone, full of tenderness, mixed with the rich and ambiguous scent of sandalwood in the air, which made Mu Xingchen's scalp tingle again.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Her heart began to beat for the first time in a long time.
Li Jing put his ear close to her heart and clearly heard her heartbeat. She lowered her head and smiled softly.
"So you like my gentleness." He caressed her eyebrows lovingly, "I will."
The next second, Mu Xingchen's pupils suddenly shrank and a painful groan escaped from the corner of her mouth.
She was in so much pain that she became more aware.
"Damn it!" she cursed unconsciously.
Li Jing stopped moving, his eyes darkened a little, he leaned close to her lips and asked threateningly: "What did you just say?"
Mu Xingchen's heart skipped a beat. What did she just say?
She gasped suddenly and began to act stupid and pitiful, saying, "Jing, Brother Jing...it hurts..."
Physiological tears wet the belt covering her eyes.
Li Jing didn't move at all, his calm breathing kept her feeling relieved, even though his veins were about to explode, he didn't care.
"Who taught you?" he asked slowly.
Mu Xingchen couldn't laugh anymore. The moment his character collapsed, unexpectedly, happened at this time. As the saying goes, drinking can lead to failure.
"Yes..." She turned her head away and said uncomfortably, "I...that...Zuiqinglou's..."
Before she could finish her words, the figure on her body blocked her mouth and bit her madly and violently until blood appeared between her lips.
Damn it!!! Mu Xingchen cursed in his heart, he shouldn’t have mentioned Zui Qinglou.
I’m jealous again!!! Jealous jar!!!
She wanted to explain, but she couldn't utter a word.
Why is there no freedom to swear???
If possible, she really wanted to scold him openly to his face!!!
But there was no time for extra thinking, the hot properties of the medicine made people lost again.
Time passed by minute by minute, until a ray of light came into the room.
The medicinal properties in Mu Xingchen's body have been completely eliminated, but he hasn't let her go yet.
Mu Xingchen rolled his eyes and trembled, "Brother Jing~"
Her voice was almost hoarse and she couldn't speak.
Li Jing paused, a bead of sweat dripping from her chin onto her face.
His estrus period has just begun.
But it won't work. She is just an ordinary human being. If she continues like this, he will hurt her. She has almost reached her limit now.
Li Jing closed his eyes with trembling eyelashes. He sighed silently, then lowered his head and whispered softly in her ear, "Yeah."
Mu Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief. She was really exhausted and soon fell asleep.
She didn't wake up until the afternoon.
Mu Xingchen opened his eyes dazedly. His eyes, which had been covered all night, felt a little stinging when the light came in.
She subconsciously raised her hand to rub her eyes, but her wrist felt a sharp pain as she moved. Pain and soreness all over her body also came at the same time. Her whole body felt like it had been run over by a huge truck, and every part of it was painful.
Mu Xingchen raised his hand and saw the red mark on his wrist, and suddenly a surge of anger rose in his heart.
"You bastard!" she cursed. She had wanted to use him to remove the Gu spirit, but the bastard was too tactless. This was even after she had taken the medicine. If she hadn't taken the medicine, she couldn't even imagine it.
"Cough cough cough!" Mu Xingchen covered her throat, "Damn it!" She cursed hoarsely, then weakly propped up her wrist.
"What did you say?" A slightly cold voice came from the front of the curtain. Mu Xingchen's scalp suddenly went numb and his whole body stiffened.
The memory of last night also came flooding back. It seemed that she had cursed last night as well...
She couldn't laugh anymore.
"Hehehe..." She smiled with a fake smile. She pulled up the quilt and whispered, "Master Jing, I thought you were gone."
When Li Jing heard her name, his brows furrowed so sharply that he could pinch a fly to death.
"Li Jing." He said in a deep voice.
Mu Xingchen was confused and asked, "Huh?"
"My full name."
Mu Xingchen's breath was caught in his throat. Li? His last name was Li???
The divorce of the Xiyao royal family??? Isn’t this such a coincidence???
Seeing that Mu Xingchen didn't answer, he asked in a low voice, "Hmm?"
Mu Xingchen collected her thoughts and said with a sweet smile, "A Jing?"
Li Jing's frown relaxed for a moment, and she started to act coquettishly towards him again.
"Yeah. You can call me that if you want."
He lifted the curtain and returned to the previous topic: "What did you curse at just now?"
Although his tone was calm and his face showed no expression, Mu Xingchen could clearly sense the dangerous aura.
She pursed her lips and said guiltily, "I... just listened... listened to those people in the teahouse..." She thought it would be better not to mention Zui Qinglou at the moment.
"Really?" Li Jing said lightly. He obviously didn't believe it because her story now was obviously different from what she said last night.
Mu Xingchen couldn't help but feel annoyed again. This bastard was so angry about these three words last night that he forced her to delete them from her dictionary.
What if she doesn’t delete it? She’ll start cursing, “You bastard, you fucking bastard.”
"You're free to curse, Brother Jing." She looked up at him and said stubbornly.
Li Jing's lips curled up slightly, and he changed back to this name, acting coquettishly further, very good.
After saying this, Mu Xingchen felt annoyed again. This was not conducive to her maintaining her personality. She really couldn't pretend to be Mu Qing anymore. She was too upset.
Li Jing fed the water in his hand to her mouth: "Drink water."
Mu Xingchen drank the water in the cup in one gulp.
After drinking it, she found that there was a fragrant medicinal smell in the water, and she looked at him in confusion.
"It's good for your health, and...it's effective in treating your injuries." As he spoke, his ears began to turn red.
Mu Xingchen looked at his ears in surprise. Was he shy? It was rather strange to look at him this way.
But why are you still wearing a mask?
"Why is Brother Jing still wearing a mask?" she asked.
Li Jing pursed his lips and coaxed helplessly: "You can't see it now, I'll show it to you after a while."
Mu Xingchen twitched her lips, but she didn't say she wanted to see it.
"I..." His ears turned redder. "I applied medicine to you an hour ago. I'll apply medicine to you again in the evening. The food is on the table. If it's inconvenient for you to get out of bed, I'll bring it to you." He turned around and said.
Mu Xingchen gritted her teeth. "Have you applied medicine?" She touched her wrist, a hint of annoyance flashing across her face again.
When Li Jing brought the food over, he saw Mu Xingchen frowning and rubbing his wrist in pain.
He put down what he was holding, sat silently beside her bed, then picked up her wrist and rubbed it slowly, while at the same time a stream of spiritual power slowly flowed into her body.
He said with some distress: "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself, I won't do it again next time."
Mu Xingchen frowned. He sent spiritual power again. Is this okay?
"Don't move." She wanted to pull her wrist away, but Li Jing wouldn't let her and just kept sending spiritual power into her body.
She watched his face turn from red to white before it gradually stopped. At the same time, the red marks on her hands and the pain in her body completely disappeared.
