After she put on her clothes, she endured the pain in her body and walked towards the door. But before her hands touched the bolt, the door of the palace opened from the outside. He looked at her expressionlessly and said, "Want to leave?"
She said weakly, "I... want to take a shower."
He kicked the door shut and fiercely grabbed her neck, his eyes filled with sinister intent. He said coldly, "Do you think you're not clean, or do you think I'm not clean?"
Her hollow eyes looked even more lifeless, and she was a little breathless after being pinched by him. She was full of love! The smell of love... She frowned and said sarcastically, "You...are you feeling inferior?"
"You're still as sharp-tongued as ever." He slowly withdrew his hand, but she continued, "The Lord also said that I'm the Queen of the Zombie Clan. Don't I even have the right to bathe?"
He was the monarch, she was his wife, and they were both above everyone else. Even if they couldn't call the shots, at least they wouldn't be short of food and clothing, right? Even bathing... he had to take care of it.
"If you want to take a bath, just send someone to tell me."
His tone softened a bit, with a hint of surrender. He was just... just afraid that she would leave secretly.
Jiuxi gritted his teeth and said, "I was just about to go out and call for help... and you came in!"
This is clearly her territory, at least it used to be, but why does she feel so insecure and guilty?
"I have no intention of arguing with you." He stared at her slightly red and swollen eyes, a trace of pity flashing across his eyes, and then said, "I built a bathhouse for Yaoge. Seeing you in such a state, it would be disgraceful to me. I will allow you to go."
She subconsciously curled her lips, as if she was very happy to go, and refused, "That's Miss Yaoge's place. It wouldn't be good for me to go."
What Jiuxi didn't know was that since that place was built, only Mingye had ever entered it.
Ming Ye was a little angry, and this anger was a little inexplicable. He said, "You have to go even if you don't want to!"
She tugged at his sleeve, blinked her swollen, walnut-like eyes, and asked tentatively, "That bathhouse... was built for me?"
As long as he said yes, then she would tell him everything that had happened over the past hundred years. If not, then everything would be meaningless.
A sneer appeared on his lips. "Why would this emperor build this for you? This emperor married you not because he loves you, but... because he hates you!"
He hated her for leaving without a word, hated her for never coming back to look for him in the past hundred years! He hated her for pretending to be a stranger even after seeing him. He hated her for not giving him a single explanation, hated her for always letting Gong Ci follow her around...
Hated that she married Gong Ci.
Is he so unimportant in her heart?
A hint of disappointment appeared in Jiuxi's eyes. Yes, she had abandoned him many times. Who else... would be so stupid all the time...
She didn't want to escape from him, but she had always been a vengeful person. She was determined to get back all the debts owed to the fairy world.
She... is a person without a future...
She responded softly, her hand slowly slipping from his sleeve, and she walked around him silently out of the hall. Recalling their past, she sniffed her nose and let out a soft groan, which contained infinite regret.
She was wrong. No explanation seemed good. He wouldn't believe it anyway.
But as soon as she disappeared from his sight, a trace of panic flashed across his eyes, and he quickly chased after her, following her all the way. Seeing that she had no intention of running away, his pounding heart seemed to sink.
