When Xiaoyao Yunyan was still in the middle of enthusiastically babbling nonsense, Mo Qingli coldly interrupted him: “Shut up.”
“You…” I only talked because you told me to talk, and now you’re telling me to shut up? Who do you think I am!
But seeing Mo Qingli’s furious expression, Xiaoyao Yunyan miraculously shoved the words splattering out of his mouth back down his throat. However, he made sure to eye Mo Qingli with immense dislike.
Mo Qingli knew that the words she had just said were on the heavy side. Furthermore, yesterday’s actions were indeed initiated by her, who had in the end soiled his purity. She was also the one who had called him here. She kneaded her forehead, finally only helplessly saying, “What I did yesterday was my fault. It seems I have wronged you.”
Xiaoyao Yunyan stared at her blankly, unsure if he had really heard the words that had just come out of her words. Inside him, after an intense internal battle, he finally pressed down on the emotions that threatened to reveal themselves on his face. Embarrassed, he replied, “It’s fine.”
After all, he could never tell her that she didn’t do anything wrong; after all, it was him who had pressed himself on her instead!
In this female-dominated world, this kind of action was extremely despised, and could even lead to imprisonment. Of course, Xiaoyao Yunyan did not fear anything, but he still decided to let her feel indebted to him. This gave him some small amount of joy. As for why, he didn’t understand himself.
From then on, their relationship experienced a few small changes.
“Can you tell me what happened… before the events of yesterday?” Mo Qingli spoke much more casually, foregoing her arrogant nature, and even allowed her tone to become slightly tender.
Xiaoyao Yunyan was very satisfied with Mo Qingli’s current attitude. He recalled yesterday’s events, slowly saying, “Yesterday you rushed towards me like a possessed spirit, and then refused to let go. All you kept was saying was ‘it’s too hot, it’s too hot’. ”
He didn’t tell Mo Qingli that he knew that she had been under the influence of an aphrodisiac. This kind of dangerous poison wasn’t something that he, a “harem” boy, should know!
“Oh right, you kept call yourself ‘this ruler’!” Xiaoyao Yunyan paused. “Of course, I’ll be sure not to tell the Empress.”
Mo Qingli knitted her brows. It looked like there was none of the important information she had been looking for.
“Thank you,” Mo Qingli replied politely. “It’s getting dark now. You should hurry and return to rest now!”
“What?” Hearing her words, Xiaoyao Yunyan sprung up from his chair. His previous pleasant attitude evaporated, replaced with an angry roar as he demanded, “Are you trying to purposefully humiliate me?”
“Humiliate?” Mo Qingli could not understand this person’s mind. “I didn’t humiliate you!”
Her face was filled with confusion, which incensed Xiaoyao Yunyan even more. “Don’t you know that when your wife clearly wants you to serve her, if you send me out halfway through the night, won’t I be the target of other people’s mocking? This is humiliation! Everyone will assume that I… I…”
His voice became softer and softer, until a light red flush once again spread over his face. He didn’t understand what had happened to him. In order to become the Emperor, he had prepared to kill his way past all obstacles. How come… because of her one phrase, ‘return’, that he had become so upset?
“What will they think about you?” Mo Qingli couldn’t understand him. The way humans thought were really too confusing! This was enough to even make a millennium old jiangshi like her confused!
“They’ll think that my… my that part… doesn’t work!”
Mo Qingli finally realized his meaning. Her cold face too morphed into a scarlet red, and her body slightly shook. Masking her embarrassment, she said, “Then… why don’t you just sleep here then!”
Sleeping on the couch, Mo Qingli was unable to fall asleep. She could hear Xiaoyao Yunyan’s soft snores from beside her, and then the quiet ba-thumps of her own heart pounding.
She tightly closed her eyes, wanting to ignore the scent of fresh blood being emitted by the person next to her. But that smell seemed to be pulling every cell of her towards it, until finally, she opened her eyes.
Her black pupils seemed to gleam especially captivatingly in the dark. She stared at the exposed white skin of Xiaoyao Yunyan’s tender neck, and swallowed a large amount of saliva.
She hadn’t drank blood for a long time!
Furthermore, this kind of vulnerable appearance was really had for her to resist.
It was as if there was a warm, living blood bag by her side. The constant sweet smell of humanity incited her.
Finally, Mo Qingli was unable to resist it any longer. Her black eyes glinted with gold light, and two fangs appeared inside of her mouth. Opening her lips, she dived at Xiaoyao Yunyan’s exposed neck.
Fresh, pure blood trailed out under her fangs. She sucked in her mouth, making sure to capture every drop of the blood within her mouth.
She felt as if her strength was returning, just as it had when she had taken Feng Chenling and Mu Tianlang’s blood.
Closing her eyes, she allowed herself to indulge in the frenzy of tasting such delicious blood. She completed neglected the ferocious killing intent she was emitting.
She had waited until he was vulnerable to finally kill him? Disappointment, heartbreak and fury erupted in Xiaoyao Yunyan’s mind, although he was slowly becoming unable to breathe.
Feeling his blood being sucked away, Xiaoyao Yunyan tried to stay indifferent. He gathered his inner power and sent a fierce palm strike towards Mo Qingli’s head.
He hadn’t expected that… faced with such a powerful palm strike, she was unexpectedly unharmed?
Mo Qingli retrieved her fangs, wiping away the blood stains from her mouth. Coldly, she asked him, “What are you doing?”
He pushed Mo Qingli’s body off of him, and landed on the floor. “I’m going to kill you!”
His teeth gnashed together, and his pupils were flushed red with anger. Filled with killing intent, he glared at Mo Qingli.
“Why?” Mo Qingli asked, sounding wronged.
“Hehe…” Xiaoyao Yunyan laughed coldly, his entire body prepared to defend against the enemy in front of him. “Towards people who wish to kill me, I will not show any weakness. No matter who it is!”
Mo Qingli knew that he had misunderstood, but no matter what she said it wouldn’t mean anything to him. Though she hadn’t tried to kill him, she had indeed sucked his blood.
“Are you speechless?” Xiaoyao Yunyan demanded, his voice filled with disappointment. The one time he had allowed himself to become vulnerable to someone else, he had been returned with blood!
His hands touched the area where Mo Qingli had bit him, where small tendrils of blood were still leaking out. Looking at it, he somewhat self-mockingly said, “Looks like despite your hopes, I haven’t died yet.”
After that, without looking back, he left!
That cold and alienated tone and attitude had left Mo Qingli a little remorseful. She had really fell short of him this time!
The next day in the early morning, Mo Qingli brought Yue Yao along outside of the residence.
She had thought for a night, and finally decided to bring some things to coax Xiaoyao Yunyan out, and explain the circumstances of what had happened. The taste of being misunderstood was indeed hard to experience, and furthermore this was her fault in the end.
Yue Yao’s excitement was reaching new bounds. In her view, the Princess was finally becoming more and more interested in others now!
“Hurry up and return with this old lady!”
“No, I don’t want to!”
“You little hussy, how dare you talk back to this old lady? See how I’ll take care of you when I catch you!”
“Ah—”
The palanquin stopped.
“Yue Yao, what happened?” Mo Qingli opened the curtain of the palanquin, curious.
“Replying to the Princess, a man has just bumped into our horse.”
Mo Qingli left the palanquin, then jumped off of the carriage. Really, there was a man collapsed onto the floor.
“Are you alright?” Mo Qingli asked, lowering her head to inquire.
The man did not respond. Lowering his head, he used his hand to support his leg and slowly crawl upwards. However, unsteady, he quickly fell back down again. It was good that Mo Qingli had quick reflexes, and caught him just in time.
“You leg is wounded, so don’t try to act tough. I’m bringing you to the physician.” No matter what, because it was their carriage that he had wounded himself against, she had a responsibility to see him to medical care.
The man pulled his arm away from Mo Qingli’s grip. Lowering his head, he refused too look at her. “I don’t need it.”
“You little hussy, how dare you run even after I call you!” A loud, resonating sound echoed through the street.
Hearing this sound, the man immediately hid behind Mo Qingli, his two hands gripping tightly against Mo Qingli’s robes.
Staring towards the source of the sound, Mo Qingli found an extremely ugly and fat woman barreling towards their direction. She tried to grab the man hiding behind Mo Qingli, only to find tha Mo Qingli blocked her hands from reaching forwards.
The woman raised her head, ferociously glaring at Mo Qingli. “Move out of the way!”
“What if I don’t?” Mo Qingli asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Don’t you know who I am?” The woman puffed her chest in an arrogant manner. “If you’re tactful, then you’ll let me go through. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up as well!”
She pointed to a few servants behind her carrying wooden sticks, and gave Mo Qingli a provocative glance.
Who knew that Mo Qingli would only softly laugh. “But I don’t know who you are.”
“You…” The woman looked around her. The surroundings were gradually being filled with many people, all pointing towards them and muttering.
Her face became a crimson red color. From what she could see, this woman in front of her was purposefully looking for trouble. “You’re looking for death. Attack her!”
The man behind Mo Qingli shook fiercely. Mo Qingli turned around, giving him a reassuring smile, then moved towards the fray in the blink of an eye.
After a series of loud smacking sounds, the floor was covered with several severely injurid people.
The woman kicked the servants on the floor, furiously cursing. “Useless, all of you are a bunch of trash!”
Afterwards she herself leaned down to grab a wooden bat, raising it and running towards Mo Qingli, ready to swing down. Seeing this, Mo Qingli shifted away slightly, causing the woman to hit empty space. However, she was unable to stop moving forward; falling forward another two steps, she tripped over the painfully moaning servants, landing face-first against the ground.
The sound of the fall was really too powerful! It almost seemed like the whole world was shaking. It looked like this woman’s body weight was no small amount.
The surrounding people began to erupt in laughter.
The woman tried a few methods, but was unable to pull herself up from the ground. She finally called for some of the collapsed servants to help her stand up. The woman then pointed towards Mo Qingly, fiercely warning, “You better watch out! I’ll have you taste the consequences!”
Afterwards, she was dejectedly carried off by her servants.
When Xiaoyao Yunyan was still in the middle of enthusiastically babbling nonsense, Mo Qingli coldly interrupted him: “Shut up.”
“You…” I only talked because you told me to talk, and now you’re telling me to shut up? Who do you think I am!
