Chapter 195- Who Exactly Are You? Part 1
“Ben Wang had initially wanted to give you a quick end. It’s a pity you didn’t take that chance. In order for my eyes to not be dirtied from looking at your body, I can only make you stay here until not a single trace of your soul is left behind. Only then will you be liberated from this place…”
The man raised his hand to dust at his robe before turning to walk toward the border of the Xiao family. He didn’t even give Xiao Min another look.
Xiao Min, within the black flames, couldn’t plead for her life or for a quicker death. She could only look with despair at the departing figure of that man, holding boundless regrets.
If… if only her grandfather hadn’t pampered her so much since she was young, perhaps she wouldn’t have grown up to be so arrogant and despotic and wouldn’t have provoked these people.
All in all, everything was her grandfather’s fault!
It was his fault for not being strict enough!
One could only wonder how enraged Xiao Yin would be if he were resurrected and privy to her thoughts…
✶
Night.
The moonlight was faint, with barely any light. Just as Mu Ru Yue lay on her bed, a wave of sleepiness struck her. She tried to pry open her eyes, but was unable to wake up. Amidst her grogginess, she seemed to see a figure entering her room…
The man stood beside the head of the bed. He focused on the young girl on the bed, a trace of gentleness appearing in his purple eyes.
A slender finger brushed against the young girl’s nose before landing on her lips. While he gently caressed it, his gaze became incredibly warm. Every motion of his finger was so gentle, as though he feared he might waken her abruptly.
“I’m sorry…”
The man muttered those words gently. There was pain and sorrow in his voice, along with infinite reluctance. But what could he do? He didn’t have any other method except this. All of this in order to avoid harming her…
Slowly, he lowered his head to place a kiss on the lips of the young girl.
His kiss was so gentle, containing all of the tender feelings this man couldn’t express openly. Yet, he felt that this wasn’t enough. Her lips were so sweet and warm that they made him want so much more…
The man parted the young girl’s lips. Just as he was about to move his tongue to taste her, the previously closed-eyed young girl suddenly woke up.
When the two of them looked at each other, the man’s heart violently trembled. Yet, he didn’t have the slightest intention of releasing her…
Mu Ru Yue narrowed her eyes and raised her leg to mercilessly kick him. The man didn’t dodge and just stood there, enduring the kick to his most sensitive part.
He groaned, but was still unwilling to let the young girl go after tasting her once more. The man held the young girl’s hand tightly and pressed her down on the bed.
“Let me go!”
Mu Ru Yue’s expression gradually darkened.
It was unknown why she felt a dangerous feeling coming from this man…
“Why did you wake up so quickly?”
Mu Ru Yue sniggered. “I am an alchemist. How long did you think that puny incapacitating agent would knock me unconscious for? Tell me, who exactly are you? I initially treated you as Wu Chen, but Wu Chen wouldn’t use such flower thief ways like using an incapacitating agent to knock a girl unconscious late in the night.”
When the man lowered his head to look at the young girl and saw the wariness on her face, his heart felt as though it had been violently pierced by something. He was in so much pain, yet he really couldn’t let her go. “You will know who I am in the near future.”
Currently, he couldn’t let her know anything as he didn’t want her to be in danger while by his side.
A light flashed past Mu Ru Yue’s eyes as she raised her hand to remove the man’s mask. However, the man let go of her the moment she touched the mask. Following that, his silver robes disappeared in a flash as he moved to the door.
