Chapter 286 – Siqi (2/2)

The Evil Emperor answered in a low voice. His voice was harsh and ugly with the wind, making her want to cover her ears.

“Can…can you let me go? I have never hurt anybody.” Yue Siqi started begging clumsily.

“Do you really want me to let you go?”

The Evil Emperor gave her a surprising reply. And she cautiously replied, “I’ll thank you if you do…”

“There’s no need. If you want me to let you go, I will.”

Yue Siqi did not have time to be happy, the arm that was around her waist suddenly loosened. Her body fell straight down.

Ah—

Yue Siqi instinctively yelled; she was so scared that her heart almost bumped out. Her hands moved frantically, hoping that she could catch something that could save her. She hopelessly closed her beautiful eyes.

The sound of the wind suddenly changed next to her. A body got close to her, and an arm wrapped tightly around her again, making her falling body rise slowly again. Yue Siqi was like a drowning person catching a raft, her arms and legs were wrapping tightly around the person, and she’d used all her strength.

“Now, do you still want me to let you go?” The Evil Emperor teased her.

Without an answer, the arms that were wrapping him tightly suddenly loosened. The Evil Emperor saw that Yue Siqi closed her eyes and her face went pale, she had fainted out of the extreme fear from falling and being rescued.

“After all, it’s still a little girl, and she can’t afford to be scared.” The Evil Emperor smiled behind his silver mask.

————

She had a terrible dream. In her dream, she was taken away by the awful Evil Emperor on the day of her marriage. The Evil Emperor could fly, he took her to the sky and threw her down, then…

Suddenly there was an itchy feeling on her face, like something was tickling her. She opened her eyes, and under her blurred vision, she saw a hairy thing touching her nose.

There was a male voice of a stranger. This was a soft voice, and it sent her a weirdly comforting feeling. She saw that everything was silver in front of her. She found herself lying on the dry, soft grass. The man in silver was kneeling beside her, his right hand in silver gloves was holding a dog tail, tickling her delicate nose.

Yue Siqi was stunned for a little while, wondering if she hadn’t woken up from her dreams. And when she finally realized that she’d woken up, she quickly sat up and put her hands on her chest. After making sure that her clothes were still intact, and there was no strange feeling with her body, she was more at ease. It was naturally a girl’s instinct to check her clothes after being taken away by a stranger, and after having passed out.

“You can rest assured. I have no interest in your body. You can be described as a beauty, but still not beautiful enough for my taste.” The Evil Emperor was waving the dog’s tail grass and said slowly.

The words of the Evil Emperor made her fear disappear, and at the same time, she couldn’t help but felt a bit of grievances. It’s natural for any female to get hurt by such straightforwardness. She’s always been praised since she was a child.

“Your voice…” She said without thinking twice. It’s completely different from the previous hoarse and ugly voice. The voice of the Evil Emperor was now much softer than the previous one. Judging from the voice, the Evil Emperor should be at a similar age as hers. She couldn’t believe that the most powerful Evil Emperor happened to be a young man.

Moreover, he was squatting there at this time, playing with the dog’s tail grass in his hand, and he looked so gentle, with not even a slight hint of terror.

“Oh, why? Is my voice that horrifying?” The Evil Emperor looked up and said to her with a smile.

A similar age, a soft voice and gesture, also the way he just looked at her…Yue Siqi suddenly got much less nervous, and much less scared. She smiled reluctantly and shook her head, “you don’t have a horrible voice, and…it’s actually a nice one. You also look young, not as terrifying as they described.”

The Evil Emperor burst into laughter and said quietly, “if you really think so, then I can only say that you’re too naïve. You should be grateful that you aren’t my enemy. Otherwise, I will let you know what fear means. As for my age, did someone tell you that I’m old?”

His voice suddenly became cold again, making her soothed heart start jumping again. Seeing her like that, the Evil Emperor shook his head, “if you aren’t my enemy, then you don’t need to be afraid. I’m not going to touch you, hurt you, nor starve you. I will also make sure that you live comfortably here. You may even…” he twitched his mouth, “you may even feel so comfortable that you won’t want to return home.”
