C4 (1/2)
The moonlight that had been blocked outside was still bright and clear, gradually moving along its path. Xue Bao only woke up from his deep sleep ashamed of himself when the first rays of the morning sun shyly swallowed up all the light that belonged to him.
Staring at the luxuriously decorated ceiling, everything seemed to be in a dream. Xue Bao gently moved his body, only to discover that his entire body was in pain. It was as if he had been ruthlessly beaten. His neck felt like it was being strangled, and there was also a sharp pain coming from his wrist.
Everything from last night rushed into his mind like floodwaters. The piercing gaze in the dark night, the pained expression on his face, his strong and trembling body, and his low cry for help …
It was as if she had experienced a nightmare. However, she had truly blended into the dream, and had finally escaped with her broken body. She was surprised that she was still alive and in pain.
She remembered that she couldn't make a sound last night, so she impatiently opened her mouth to try and make a sound. To her surprise, she could now make a sound. All of these were very weird, could it be that Old Master Yan only controlled her to speak in front of that man?
Was that man her husband last night? That mysterious great young master Yan Family, the man who was rumored to have taken eight wives!
Xue Bao lowered his head to look at himself. Unknowingly, someone had already changed into a set of pink pajamas. His wrist was wrapped in thick gauze. She struggled to sit up, then got out of bed and went to stand in front of the mirror, studying herself in it.
The reflection of her reflection showed that her face was somewhat pale. She wore a nightgown that wrapped around her slender body, and there was a slight bruise on her neck. Her new husband pinched her last night.
Just as he was about to open the curtains and take a look at the world outside, the bedroom door was pushed open. Xue Bao suddenly turned his head and saw two cold and skeptical women walk in.
One of them was dressed elegantly, it was obvious that he had some status. The other one stood by the door and didn't move forward. Xue Bao froze on the spot, not knowing how to address the newcomer. He didn't seem to have any good intentions.
The woman had a very good figure and was very tall. In front of Xue Bao, she was half a head taller than her. In front of her, he stopped, stared down at her, and spat out a few cold words from his lips: ”Why aren't you dead? ”How are you not crazy?”
”Ugh …” Xue Bao opened his mouth, unable to say anything. Should she die? Shouldn't he be crazy? Did the other eight all go mad on their wedding night? That's right, after what happened last night, who wouldn't go crazy?
”Are you really the chosen one sent by God to save him?” The woman lowered her eyes and muttered, as if the fact that Xue Bao could survive was something inconceivable.
”Madam, even if you're not crazy now, you will be within a month.” The woman standing at the door expressionlessly spoke. As she finished speaking, she cast a contemptuous glance at Xue Bao, seeming very confident.
”Definitely!” Mr. Yan resolutely nodded, then threw Xue Bao a cold expression. He turned around and arrogantly walked out with the woman. From the moment they entered to the moment they left, Xue Bao had been in a daze. He simply did not understand why Mr. Yan had come in this time.
After Mr. Yan left, Xue Bao slumped back onto the bed, intending to rest for a bit because she was in too much pain. However, just as he lay down, there was another knock on the door. She had no choice but to quickly sit up from the bed. She was currently in a foreign land, and everyone here was extremely strange and terrifying. She had to muster up all of her concentration.
This time, it was Old Master Yan and a maid who came in. Old Master Yan had a kind smile on his face and couldn't stop smiling when he saw Xue Bao. He nodded with satisfaction and said, ”Xue Bao, you are really a strong and good kid. You actually managed to survive. This is a good start. I already said that I won't misjudge you, haha!”
Xue Bao looked at his happy smile and suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart, which reached all the way to his face. Staring at him, she complained, ”Mr. Yan, do you think it's fun like this? Is it fun to take someone else's life as a joke? ”
Yesterday she had almost died, and now she was covered in wounds, but this perpetrator was so happy that he completely disregarded the lives of others. The other eight were also hurt by him, right?
After being yelled at like that, Old Master Yan apologized with his head lowered: ”Sorry, Xue Bao, because I knew that you would be fine, so I let you in to see Jun Yi. If you didn't knock the blood out of the cup, and let Jun Yi drink from it, he wouldn't be so serious or hurt anyone. In the past, he never attacked anyone … ”
Xue Bao thought of the blood that he had spilled last night. At that time, she had been frightened, so how could she have the mind to feed him the blood in his cup? If she had fed him blood last night, would he not have suffered so much? How is this possible?
”Will he be all right if he drinks my blood?” Xue Bao asked in a daze. Heavens! A real vampire!?
Old Master Yan nodded: ”At least it won't be that serious! Sigh … What a pitiful child, this is all the creation of the heavens. ” As he said so, Lord Lu couldn't help but shed two tears.
”Yan Junyi is obviously sick, why didn't you send him to the hospital? How can there be so many ghosts and gods in the world? If you all were to do this, you would only be letting his illness go to waste! ” Xue Bao looked at the Old Master Yan and called out.
Old Master Yan could only shake his head helplessly. Then, he instructed the maid behind him to serve Xue Bao well, and quietly walked out. Xue Bao looked at his departing back with a helpless expression.
She suddenly thought of her husband, who she hadn't really met. She couldn't help but ask the maid, ”How is Eldest Young Master now?” She was not worried, but curious!
Last night, Yan Junyi was in such pain, could he still live? As for worrying … She didn't need to. If the people from the Yan Family did not see her as a human, why would she be worried about his life?
The maid lowered her head and replied respectfully, ”The eldest young master is still resting. He usually wakes up in the afternoon.”
”He … Will that last a long time? ” Xue Bao asked again. She had fainted last night, so she did not know when he had quieted down …
Yes. She was really curious about everything here!
”From 12 in the morning until the end of the moonlight.” The maid's eyes were red, and it was hard to tell if it was heartache or sympathy. Xue Bao, on the other hand, had a bewildered look on his face. He counted with his fingers, and after calculating, he called out in a low voice, ”Oh, my …”
”Oh god, four to five hours!”
