Chapter 123: Don’t look at me again.
In front of me is a rather luxurious residence, with furniture all made of rosewood and exquisite decorations.
The bed was large and wide, and the bedding and curtains were all made of silk.
You can tell at first glance that it is a very wealthy family.
And this is not the point.
The point is, opposite the bed, there is a huge golden cage about four meters high and nearly five meters wide, and the person she has been thinking about day and night, his hands are tied, hanging in the cage, unconscious, and...
Not wearing a single thread.
His jet-black hair was draped over one shoulder and hung down to his waist, the ends of his hair sticky with fresh blood. His body was covered with whip marks and branding, his limbs were bloody and his chest looked like someone had burned three words on it with an iron, and above those three words was the flesh that had been scratched so raw that the words were no longer legible.
Blood trickled down his body, sliding down from his naturally dangling toes, and dripping drop by drop into the pool of blood on the ground.
It also burned her heart deeply.
"Xiao Ye, what are you doing? Put him down and feed him. If he starves to death, the princess will skin you alive." A rather shrill voice sounded.
Xu Xingxing's eyes finally began to move slowly.
Princess?
So, Wei Yuan’s illusion... is his past?
Why is this?
This illusion... doesn't it reflect people's desires?
Or did Yuan... do it on purpose?
Seeing that she didn't move at all, the eunuch beside her finally got impatient and took action himself. He pressed a mechanism outside the golden cage, and the rope that bound Xu Yuan loosened. The man immediately fell down without any buffer. By the time Xu Xingxing reacted, the man had already fallen heavily to the ground.
As for Wei Yuan, let alone groaning in pain, he didn't even show the slightest reaction.
"Go ahead and feed him the porridge." The eunuch unlocked the golden cage and motioned her to go in.
At this time, Xu Xingxing's head was buzzing, blood was rushing up, and her whole body was trembling. She couldn't even speak, and only tears were falling.
"Hey! Are you crying? Tsk tsk...you're such a coward."
Just as the eunuch finished speaking, Xu Xingxing saw the eyelashes of the man lying on the ground tremble slightly. He slowly opened his eyes, without a trace of haziness, and looked straight at her. A flash of surprise seemed to pass through his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by embarrassment, shame and sadness. He gently opened his lips and silently said a few words:
"Don't, look at, me."
Xu Xingxing's breathing suddenly stopped, and her heart felt like it was stabbed by someone.
He didn't lose his memory.
Then why... not resist?
But lost the magic power?
Yes, she also had no magical powers when she was in Xu Xinger’s illusion.
It must be like this.
"He's tied up now, how can he eat you?" The eunuch took the rice bowl from her tray with a look of disdain and stepped into the golden cage. "He has killed a few slaves before, but now his tendons are all severed. It's hard for him to move, let alone hurt you. Considering this is your first time, I will only demonstrate this once. Watch carefully."
He crouched down, raising his hand to pinch Hou Yuan's jaw. Xu Xingxing's nerves instantly tensed. By the time she realized what he was about to do, she had already grabbed the tray and spoon and swung it at him. She didn't hold back, and the spoon pierced the eunuch's neck deeply. Blood spurted out, splashing all over the cage and the floor. He looked at her in disbelief, then collapsed, clutching his neck. He twitched silently for a moment, and soon died.
Xu Xingxing immediately took off her clothes, walked to the man with trembling legs, knelt on the ground, and covered his naked body with the dark blue eunuch's clothes.
She had no idea how to hold him, so she instinctively tried to untie the rope around his wrists, but her hands were shaking so violently that she couldn't.
Looking at the panicked woman, the fear and shame he had accumulated over the past few days because he was afraid she would see him disappear instantly. He felt relieved and smiled, "Xingxing, is this your first time killing someone?"
For me.
"I don't know." Xu Xingxing's body was shaking violently. She tried hard to untie the rope, but the rope soaked in blood was tied very tightly. She bit it with her teeth but still couldn't untie it. So her tears flowed uncontrollably more and more.
"Xingxing, don't waste your energy. If you untie it, I'll have to find a way to tie it back up later."
With a little effort, Zhu Yuan rubbed his bloodstained body against the woman's legs. He said softly, "Talk to me, Xingxing. I miss you so much."
"Why can't I untie it...Why can't I untie it!" Xu Xingxing finally broke down and burst into tears, but even as she cried, her hands did not stop moving.
Looking at the crying woman, Wei Yuan stopped talking and just looked at her, watching her try to solve the problem again and again and fail again and again, watching her tears fall and burn his skin.
He suddenly felt that what shame and humiliation, what embarrassment and meanness, he could endure these pains forever, just for a moment of love from a woman.
The woman bit the rope, which was as thick as her finger, with her teeth. She picked up his hand with trembling hands, looked at his wrist which was already bleeding, and burst into tears again. Then she carefully picked up his upper body.
He had finally waited for such an intimate touch. He buried his face in the woman's arms impatiently and sniffed her scent hard. It seemed as if all the pain in his body disappeared, and he felt as if he was floating in the clouds.
This is good, and it will be good forever.
"Does it hurt?" the woman sobbed. "Don't be afraid. I'll take you away."
It's this sentence again, don't be afraid.
He really likes listening to it.
Even though he was not afraid, he still wanted to listen to it over and over again.
Then he said, "I won't be afraid if you're here."
Xu Xingxing's tears began to flow uncontrollably again. She lowered her head and kissed the man's lips. The man closed his eyes and responded obediently. His lips and tongue were soft, as if he had taken off his fierceness, leaving only a non-aggressive inner self. Xu Xingxing thought hazily:
It seemed like the first time she kissed him so tenderly.
After the kiss, she sobbed and said, "I'll take you out of the illusion."
Seeing her leave, Hou Yuan opened his hazy eyes with a hint of dissatisfaction. He looked at her and said softly, "I want more."
The man's lips turned pale due to blood loss, and the lips that were quite dry just now reflected the water light because of the kiss just now, making his youthful eyebrows and eyes look charming and seductive.
Green?
She realized belatedly that the current Wei Yuan was different from the usual Wei Yuan.
Smaller.
Oh, she meant age.
…If not for this, she wouldn’t have discovered it now.
I think he was only twelve or thirteen years old when he was captured by the princess. Now he has been trapped for several years, so he must be fifteen or sixteen years old now?
She lowered her head and pecked the man on the lips before hurriedly leaving, saying anxiously, "I'll put on your clothes for you, and let's leave."
As she said this, she tried to help the man put on the outer robe she had just taken off, but the man simply raised his hands and grabbed the back of her head, pressing slightly, and she was caught off guard and kissed him again.
Xu Xingxing: ...
Xu Xingxing: ???
"Can you move?" Xu Xingxing moved her lips away again.
Seeing the meat that was about to reach his mouth fly away, Yu Yuan: ...
He sighed and began to explain, "I can't leave."
Xu Xingxing froze, frowned, and asked, "Why?"
"Do you know how this illusion array works?" Yuan Yuan looked at the woman's lips, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.
Xu Xingxing glanced at the bloodstained body of the person in his arms, his eyes dimmed instantly, and said, "I thought I guessed it at first, but now I'm not sure anymore."
Wei Yuan looked at the tip of the woman's small nose and said, "Tell me about it."
"I initially thought this illusion array seemed to be able to sense the wishes of the souls that entered it, allowing them to live a happy and fulfilling life here. Ultimately, the soul would probably be absorbed by the array." Xu Xingxing's eyebrows drooped, looking very dejected. "But you're like this now..."
A smile flashed through his eyes: "So Xingxing thinks she's wrong?"
Xu Xingxing's tears welled up again. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Wei Yuan praise her, "Xingxing is really smart. She was able to see through the essence of this formation at a glance."
Xu Xingxing's body suddenly stiffened.
"Bai Ze possesses the power of illusion and dream. Shi Chen used my remaining body to provide energy for Bai Ze and the magic circle, bringing the wronged soul to perfection before absorbing it to reshape his spirit." Hou Yuan looked at her with a frown and said, "Perfect souls are like pure white paper, perfect for this purpose."
Xu Xingxing grasped the key point in these words. She stared blankly at the man with a smile still in his eyes and slowly asked, "Then why is your illusion like this?"
Hou Yuan looked at her and said, "This is what I wish for."
Xu Xingxing's eyes widened, a look of confusion on her face, and her tone became excited: "Suffering is what you want in your heart? Being hurt to this extent is what you want in your heart? Do you have a masochistic constitution? Haven't you suffered enough and you still come to this illusion to refill the cup? Is the pain in this illusion not pain? Do you think I haven't felt it? This illusion feels exactly the same as reality! And you obviously haven't lost your memory, and you know the nature of this formation, why don't you resist, why don't you break the formation? Why..."
...Do you want to suffer this again?
She finally couldn't say any more and tears began to fall again. If he hadn't been seriously injured, she would have wanted to beat him up again.
Unexpectedly, her series of insults and scoldings made Xiao Yuan even happier. His eyes seemed to light up: "Xingxing is feeling sorry for me?"
He rubbed against her arms, like a spoiled puppy: "Xingxing feels sorry for me, so I don't feel any pain anymore."
Xu Xingxing was speechless. She raised her hand and pulled out his face, imitating him and biting his lips fiercely. His body stiffened, even his breathing became unstable, and his voice was tinged with desire: "Xingxing..."
Xu Xingxing subconsciously looked at his lower body.
Her coat was indeed held up by something.
Xu Xingxing: ...
The tears disappeared, leaving only anger. She pinched his face and said viciously: "Tell me why! Otherwise... I will ignore you!"
Blood oozed from Hou Yuan's lips, which he licked into his mouth. He looked at her, moved his head towards her arms, and said, "Because meeting you is what I really want."
Xu Xingxing: ...
She subconsciously felt that he was still saying sweet words at this critical moment, and made a gesture to let him go from her arms.
Unexpectedly, after noticing this, the man immediately put his arms around her waist, raised his eyes and said unconvincedly: "Xingxing doesn't believe me?"
"I don't believe you!" Xu Xingxing was still pushing people out. "According to what you said, then this illusion should only be you and me!"
Wei Yuan exerted force and pressed the person to the ground. He stood up and pressed on the woman. Without waiting for the woman to speak, he kissed her directly.
Then a heavy sigh came from his throat.
...Finally got to eat it again.
Xu Xingxing was about to push him away, but when she found that the man was bleeding from all over his body due to the force he had just exerted, she didn't dare to move anymore. However, she was still secretly competing in her heart, and kept her lips tightly closed without responding.
But the man was not in a hurry at all. He licked and bit her patiently. Finally, when she couldn't bear it anymore, he found the opportunity to pry open her lips and teeth, and entangled his lips and tongue with hers.
Xu Xingxing's body soon became weak and his scalp went numb. He forgot about the conversation just now and began to respond.
Unexpectedly, after this person noticed her response, his reaction became even more intense, and he actually raised his hand and tore off her clothes.
Xu Xingxing: ???
No, please tell me, aren’t you seriously injured?
She wanted to push, but she had no idea where to put her hands on him.
You're bleeding! You're bleeding!
But her lips and tongue were occupied, and she couldn't utter a single word. After finally finding a gap, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and mumbled, "Are you not in pain anymore?"
But Zhu Yuan just opened his eyes slightly, looked at her with eyes full of lust, and kissed her hand regardless, while his other hand had already reached into her clothes through the open collar.
She finally couldn't help moaning, and at that moment, the man quickly grabbed her hand that was covering her mouth and put it on her head.
No, isn’t her identity in this illusion a eunuch?
How come everything that should be there is here?
"Stars, stars..."
Hei Yuan called her as if he had been drugged, and Xu Xingxing was still worried about his condition even though she was in a daze: "Xiao Hei, Hei Yuan...are you okay? Are you okay?"
Eat more Lychee Plum when you have nothing to do.
...I'm going to complain about your inappropriate timing!
Her body trembled suddenly, and she finally swallowed all the words, leaving only a faint moan.
Finally, Hou Yuan was willing to look up from her chest. His eyelashes drooped slightly, and under the setting sun outside the window, he looked like an extremely charming fairy. He pressed himself against her, clinging to her, leaving tooth marks on her body, rubbing his fresh blood on her. He saw that she was unbearable, and leaned over to her ear and said very clearly:
"The stars may seem like suffering to you, but in my eyes they are the only way to meet you."
"I went through so much hardship, endured so much suffering, and made so many mistakes to get someone like you."
"Not to mention that this illusion dares not create another you, even if it does, I will kill you all."
"I only know that there is only one of you in this vast world. A person created by an illusion, no matter how similar or resembling you are...but...is that you?"
"I say this..."
"Xingxing...you still don't believe it?"
