Chapter 6 — Inhibited Kiss (1/2)

The entanglement of their bodies caused the two of them to fall into the water. Yun Wu was caught off-guard and choked on a large mouthful of water.

She started to cough as a broad smile appeared on the devil’s handsome face. He wrapped one hand around her waist and teased her chin up with the other. He teased impishly, “Immediately after waking up, you delivered yourself to my doorsteps… What an impatient little fellow. But… I like it. Remember—I am your man, Long Qingxie.”

Long Qingxie inclined his head, intending to kiss her red lips, but then his face sank. He looked down to see Yun Wu holding a sharp-edged rock against his heart. The rock had appeared out of nowhere.

He was unnervingly dangerous, but she wasn’t a simple character either.

“Those who wish to be my man are already lining up in the Palace of Hell. Would you still like me if I pierced your heart?” The corners of Yun Wu’s lips arched into a vicious sneer.

Long Qingxie lifted his line of sight from his chest to the girl before him. Her pale little face was not outrageously beautiful, but right then, deep within her bottomless black orbs, was a shock of intense ferocity. That, in his eyes, was charming enough to be lethal.

Long Qingxie acknowledged himself as a perilous man, yet now, he was being thoroughly enthralled by Yun Wu. Subconsciously, his lips slowly curved into a roguish smile. Ignoring her threat, he pinched her chin, leaned in, and flashed her a wicked smile.

“To die beneath a peony flower1 is still remarkably romantic. I would willingly fall into hell with you if it means we can be united through wedlock.” His words had just fallen when a pair of passionate lips covered her cold ones and domineeringly forced entry, the kiss burning hot and heart-stirring.

Fall into hell together?

Those words struck a cord in her heart.

What a familiar-sounding sentence.

Murderous intent abruptly sprang from her body. Her free hand turned over, and she thrust it against Long Qingxie’s neck in a knife-like manner.

“Little pipsqueak, you really are troublesome. Look, you’ve even ruined such a nice atmosphere.” Reluctantly releasing her red lips, he smiled devilishly as he dodged her hand and simultaneously brushed aside the sharp rock that was pressed against his chest.

When Yun Wu saw this, her eyes gleamed with a cold light and she leaned forward to launch an aggressive attack, but right when Long Qingxie pulled back, she suddenly withdrew.

By the time he reacted, she had already swum to the opposite bank of the lake. “Don’t let me see you again, or I’ll definitely kill you.” Within her icy utterance, there was an almost imperceptible trace of a complex emotion.

She didn’t turn to look at Long Qingxie. Instead, she grabbed the belongings she’d left by the lakeside and quickly disappeared into the night.

“Little pipsqueak, you actually think you’ve escaped from me? How naive.” The man whispered and laughed lightly as he stared after her fleeing figure. What Yun Wu didn’t know was that back then, the day she propped up her broken body and fought with the besiege of magical beasts, the man’s malicious eyes had shone with a faint hint of determination.
