Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Take a shower and wash yourself clean.
The sound of splashing water startled the shimmering water in the pool.
His meanness grew wildly in the dark and damp environment, spreading throughout the greenhouse and infecting every inch of pure land.
"Ah...Si." Jiang Li opened his lips and teeth reluctantly.
He was threatening her...
Yun Si's eyes flickered, but he finally suppressed them silently. He saw Jiang Li biting her lower lip and glaring at him indignantly, and said with concern, "Sister, open your mouth, it's easy to get hurt."
He gently pried open the teeth with his fingertips and laid his hand on them: "What if... you accidentally get bitten?"
Eyes filled with lust fell upon him. He was lost in the darkness, caught in the ambiguous light and shadow. His movements were gentle, yet his passion burned fiercely.
She smelled a provocation and reached out to touch the fair back, digging her nails into it until they oozed bright red, then bit her fingers between her teeth in revenge.
A response full of dissatisfaction.
Yun Si showed no surprise at all, and even picked up a strand of her hair with interest, wrapping it around her chest and playing with it.
He leaned close to his ear, and a warm feeling filled with grievance rushed in: "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable? You're scratching me and it hurts..."
A feeling of dissatisfaction was overflowing, pouring between the two of them.
Suddenly, the taut string broke.
Jiang Li seemed to have been floating on the water for a long time with nowhere to cling to. He was exhausted and was about to sink to the bottom in the next second.
She adjusted her breathing and said, "I'm tired, let me go."
Yun Si saw that she was serious, and he felt a panic in his heart. His fingers unconsciously loosened, and his hair slipped down. He had just started, and he hadn't even...
"Sister Ali..." he pleaded.
Jiang Li gathered his strength and reached out to push him: "Let... go."
Seeing her firm attitude, Yun Si "compromised": "Hold me for a while longer, okay... After a while, I will let you go..."
His eyes were full of innocence again. Jiang Li softened his heart when he thought that it was because he was a love poison.
Yun Si said he was hugging her, but his hands were restless and kept touching her everywhere. He was like a cat, burrowing into her arms.
"Yun Si!" Jiang Li couldn't stand it anymore... He was like a fireball, making people feel hot.
He raised his eyes, his eyes were red, and his hair was messy, as if he was the one being bullied: "Sister...sister..., I..."
Jiang Li felt as if she was dead and closed her eyes.
Yun Si saw it all and took it as his acquiescence, unable to suppress the upward curve of his lips. He stared at those cherry pink lips and kissed them again.
…
Amidst the whiteness, the red scar on the woman's heart stood out. Her hair drooped as she slept peacefully.
For a long time, Yun Si was unable to catch his breath.
Just now, Jiang Li was clearly too sleepy to open her eyes, but she still insisted on going to wash up, which showed that she loved cleanliness. Yun Si stood up, put on a piece of clothing, wrapped the person on the bed, and carried him out.
Since his sister was asleep, it was natural for him to give her a bath.
He added more hot water, tested the temperature, and then slowly put the person into the water.
Jiang Li fell asleep against the wall, a few drops of water hung on her thick eyelashes, and her cheeks were pink due to the heat.
He studied her for a long moment before reaching out, picking up the handkerchief and dipping it into the water. The heat from the water rose, and Yun Si's face inevitably flushed. He gently wiped her body with the handkerchief, caressing every inch of her skin.
However, the more he washed, the drier his mouth became, his throat felt like it was glued together. Opening his mouth to speak became an inexplicable exhalation, and even his movements became awkward.
Wash it clean.
But how can you wash it clean if you don’t look carefully?
"Sister..." He lowered his head and loosened the handkerchief in his hand. The handkerchief floated to the surface of the water, just blocking his sight.
No matter how soft a handkerchief is, it is still an object after all.
He is the only one who can touch my sister.
He cleaned the last spot for her.
He tried to ignore the warm feeling on his fingertips and cleaned her. The woman before him held an inexplicable attraction to him.
Seeing her, touching her, drives him crazy.
Is it a love Gu? It doesn’t seem to be one?
At first, he would close his eyes and imagine, but now he could clearly see everything, yet he hesitated, not even looking...
With his last breath, he cleaned up the filth.
But even though it was clean, he still didn't want to let go.
The sleeping woman suddenly frowned and muttered something, but Yun Si was not worried that she would wake up.
He had already planted the Gu.
Jiang Li wouldn't wake up; this was his confidence as the Gu King. That was why he performed his actions without hesitation.
Wash it thoroughly from head to toe, inside and out.
After cleaning, he dried her, wrapped his hands around her waist again, and carried her back to the couch.
But when he took a bath himself, he could never finish it.
Every time he felt a little warmth in his palm, he couldn't help but start to savor the touch. A woman's body was different from a man's, more delicate, smooth, and soft.
Even when I close my eyes, all I see is...
Helping Jiang Li take a bath just now was simply asking for trouble.
**
Jiang Li woke up with sore limbs. Aside from the discomfort of being restrained around her waist, she felt surprisingly refreshed. She remembered feeling sticky from yesterday. She wanted to shower, but ended up falling asleep.
"Is sister awake?"
Hearing Yun Si's voice, she was furious. He had agreed to hold her for a while, but he ended up tormenting her for a long time.
Even though, she enjoyed it later...
"Yeah." She just opened her mouth to respond and then immediately shut up.
Is your voice hoarse?
Yun Si let go and sat up beside him: "The food is ready, sister, get up and eat."
Meals? Ready?
Jiang Li looked puzzled.
Yun Si explained, "I was afraid that my sister would have nothing to eat when she woke up, so I made it specially for her."
Jiang Li looked at his already dressed clothes and understood what was going on. Was the love poison so potent? Yun Si even held her in his arms while she slept?
Yun Si seemed to see through her thoughts and quickly explained: "I'm afraid that my sister will not let me touch her when she wakes up..."
It is more of an accusation of dissatisfaction than an explanation.
Jiang Li was almost there now, so he simply said, "How could that be? Ah Si can hug me whenever he wants."
"Really?" Yun Si was delighted, and even Jiang Li's forced smile turned into shyness in his eyes.
He hesitated and finally withdrew his hand: Don't be too clingy, what if she gets annoyed?
The moment Jiang Li's legs touched the ground, they went limp uncontrollably and he almost fell down.
Yun Si quickly helped her up: "What's wrong, sister?"
Jiang Li's brain froze, and he felt a pang of resentment. Her legs were weak? She was having trouble walking?
Looking at Yun Si again, he seemed like nothing had happened.
She said stubbornly, "Nothing, I'm just not very hungry suddenly."
It would be so embarrassing if Yun Si saw her walking strangely.
Yun Si saw her push him away and sit back on the couch. He immediately brought a bowl of porridge over and said, "Sister Ali, you should eat some porridge, otherwise you won't have the energy..."
After tossing and turning for half the night yesterday, Yun Si was really worried about her health.
Jiang Li was just tough in words and took the porridge without hesitation.
She remembered something and asked, "You gave me my clothes to wear?"
Yun Si nodded with a smile on his face: "Yeah."
"Cough cough..." Jiang Li was choked.
Yun Si calmly wiped her mouth and said, "What's wrong? Wasn't it the same last time?"
Last time at the ancestral hall, it seemed like...
Jiang Li continued to drink his porridge as if nothing had happened: "What about me taking a bath last night?"
Yun Si replied calmly: "I washed it."
Jiang Li froze.
Was it washed by Yun Si?
Before he spoke, she even imagined that she had washed it yesterday and forgot. So, Yun Si not only washed it, but also reached in to wash it?
Her fingers tightly gripped the spoon, her whole body frozen in place. An indescribable sense of shame washed over her, and a wave of annoyance washed over her.
Yun Si felt the atmosphere was a little tense: "Sister...what's wrong?"
She looked up at Yun Si, trying to convince herself that it was okay. However, she just couldn't accept someone bathing her while she was asleep.
Jiang Li handed the bowl of porridge to Yun Si and pretended to be calm: "Nothing, I'm done."
While Yun Si was washing the dishes, Jiang Li tried to walk by holding on to the bed.
But no matter how hard she tried, her legs seemed to be out of control and she walked unsteadily.
She cursed in her heart, but had no place to vent. If Yun Si was not still useful, she would make him pay!
A book next to the cabinet attracted her attention: Isn't this the book she was reading before? Why is it here?
She picked it up and looked through it, stunned...
The love poison attacks every three days? Why hadn't she noticed it before?
Jiang Li sneered. Isn't this pushing him to death?
The moment Yun Si pushed the door open, Jiang Li quickly threw the book under the cabinet.
"Sister, aren't you curious about our Miaojiang Gu Shu?" Yun Si approached. "I'm free today, so I can teach you."
Jiang Li looked at him and said tentatively, "I have other things to do today."
"What's up?"
"I want to," Jiang Li said slowly, his eyes fixed on his expression, "kill someone."
"Who do you want to kill, sister?" Yun Si said in a normal tone, with innocent enthusiasm, "I'll help you, sister."
Love Gu? It worked.
Jiang Li's eyes flickered slightly: "What if there are many people?"
"How many people are many people?" Yun Si tilted his head in thought, as if calculating the number of insects around him that he could control at the moment.
But Jiang Li thought he was hesitating and quickly changed his words: "But right now, killing one person is enough."
It seems that revenge still requires long-term planning.
"Are you going there now, sister?"
Jiang Li shook his head: "Today is not a good day."
She has a sore back, so she'd better not bother with it today.
Seeing Yun Si's current state of mind, Jiang Li finally felt relieved. This time, the love poison would last for thirteen days, and she had to complete her revenge before it wore off.
Ximen Yueyao had escaped that day and hadn't been heard from since. The four corpses were eventually discovered—the poisonous insects had only devoured the flesh, leaving the bones where they lay. Yang Quansheng's remains might have been hard to find, but four skeletons lying there stood out.
Even more coincidentally, one of them was born with missing fingers, so his phalanges were naturally incomplete. The experienced coroner immediately saw the clue and immediately determined that these were the four missing people.
Within a few days, five people died in the same horrific manner, sending panic through the village. Several elders gathered for a secret meeting.
"Isn't this a punishment from the mountain god?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Although the other person retorted, he was unsure in his heart.
"Aren't the four of them going to look for Ximen Yueyao? Why are there only their bones? Where's the little girl?"
"That little girl is so weak, where could she run to? She must have been taken away by a wolf, right?"
After the coroner finished his examination, he walked towards the group and said, "From what I can tell, these people were eaten clean by insects.
Everyone was stunned: "Did it get eaten by insects?"
Someone else spoke up, his voice trembling: "What kind of bug is it that eats people?"
The coroner shook his head: "I have never seen it."
The cause of death of several people has not yet been determined, but the rumor has already spread throughout the village.
At night, Yun Si returned from the market and repeated what he had heard to Jiang Li: "The mountain god is angry and has released many man-eating insects. Many people have disappeared recently."
Jiang Li responded absentmindedly, "Man-eating bugs are indeed terrifying."
"But those people." Yun Si's voice suddenly interrupted, cold and calm, "cannibalism."
The perfunctory smile on Jiang Li's lips froze instantly.
"Sacrifice, isn't that just cannibalism?" His tone was calm, but every word was like a knife. "They want my sister dead, so they deserve it. They deserve it."
A chill ran down Jiang Li's spine. The young man before him still had a clear expression. She had never taught him these words—he blurted them out on his own.
Beneath this innocent exterior, he was clearly a paranoid judge, a demon loyal only to her. He was subtly different from the naive young man they had first met.
The alertness in Jiang Li's eyes made Yun Si realize his mistake immediately. He hurriedly changed his tone to a gentle one: "Whoever my sister hates, I hate too."
Jiang Li didn't take it to heart and began to think about tomorrow's plan: "A Si, I have to go out tomorrow."
"Do you want me to accompany you, sister?" he asked, but he had already made up his mind to go with her, regardless of whether she refused or not.
"Um."
Jiang Li's answer surprised him a little.
Yun Si suddenly remembered something and said, "I saw a carpenter at the market today who can make a bed."
He mentioned this matter to test Jiang Li's attitude.
Jiang Li pondered Yun Si's words and replied, "There are ants in that room, right? Let's move in after we clear them out."
"What about now? I..." He stopped talking halfway, waiting for Jiang Li to speak first.
Jiang Li sighed helplessly: "Just like the other day, let's sleep here for now."
Good, sister doesn’t resist him.
Before he could finish his words, Yun Si rushed over. Jiang Li quickly took a step back: "Don't touch me when we sleep tonight. Just like the day before yesterday, you sleep yours and I sleep mine."
"Okay!" Yun Si nodded vigorously, recalling how he had slept with Jiang Li in his arms all night the day before. Never mind, he could touch her openly in two days.
His eyes were full of excitement. This love Gu was so good.
