Chapter 24 — I Want Your Hear (1/2)

t

The level of beauty this man was on far surpassed that of a woman’s. He was already outstanding in his looks, and the same could be said about his martial prowess. Therefore, she couldn’t figure out why he was so insistent about clinging to her.

In terms of appearance, she was only delicate and pretty at best. In terms of power, she had been known as a fragile good-for-nothing. Sometimes, she couldn’t help but wonder just what about her appealed to him, and whatever it was… she could change, alright?

“I have no other requests! Just…” Long Qingxie smiled, “I want to touch your hand and receive comfort for the three days I’ve spent painstakingly investigating for your sake.”

Hearing that, Yun Wu was speechless.

Three days of investigating?

She carefully scrutinized him and saw that sure enough, there were traces of travel-stained fatigue on his face. As the matter of fact, his entire complexion seemed paler than usual too.

Did he actually…

Her heart quivered, albeit slightly. Humans were not unfeeling creatures. Although she had always let herself appear cold-hearted, this time… admittedly, she was a bit touched. She stared at him and was quiet for a few moments before reaching up to pull away the hand he had on her chin.

Then, under his startled gaze, she offered her hand to him.

“If you want to touch, then stop dawdling and touch. Once you’re done touching, speak,” she grumbled impatiently, eliciting a helpless laugh from Long Qingxie as the fascination he felt for her intensified.

This little pipsqueak… is too cute, he mused.

He unhesitantly reached out with his large hand and grabbed her smaller one, but instead of squeezing and pinching it like he did before, this time he simply held it.

“Little pipsqueak, how could you be this interesting? Ahh, it really makes me want to kiss you.”

Yun Wu glared at him. Seeing the deep smile in his eyes, she began to understand… that this man had a filthy mouth, but he wasn’t a bad person. However, at the same time, she knew there was more to him than meets the eye.

There would be a day when she sees for herself his cold, cruel, and bloodthirsty side, and she would realize that the special treatment he shows her is reserved for her only.

“Alright, that’s enough, don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me what I need to do to revive my body.”

“Give me a kiss, and I’ll sell myself to you,” he regarded her with a smile.

“Long Qingxie, do you think it’s fun toying with me? If so, then you can screw off, I don’t care,” was the response.

“For someone your size, you sure have quite the impressive temper. Your husband likes that. Since you won’t give me a kiss, I guess I’ll do it myself.” With that, he puckered his lips and leaned in.

Yun Wu frowned and pushed him away with a warning, “Long Qingxie…”

Amusement lingered in his gaze for a touch longer before he decided to get serious, lest his little woman lose her temper for real. “Alright, don’t move! Get a good feel,” was all he said before he tugged her to his chest and closed in on her with his seductive lips.

The sudden proximity made Yun Wu’s heart skip a beat, and exasperated, she moved to shove him away, when…

A small mass of violet-colored mist slowly wafted out of his mouth, and her tightly-closed lips subconsciously parted. The violet-colored mist, tingled with life force, felt cool and refreshing as it entered her mouth and seeped into her body.

Her dantian began to rotate at full speed. She could feel the wondrous sensation of blood being pumped vigorously throughout her body and almost sense the leaping of each and every cell inside…

After a brief moment, Long Qingxie sucked in a breath and stopped transferring yuan force, but he didn’t move away. His black irises flashed, and he suddenly dove forward and sealed her luscious red lips with his, then smoothly slid his tongue into her mouth.

A muffled protest was all she could manage before her mind blanked. His kiss came abruptly, and he was domineering in his conquest of her mouth. Only when their breaths became ragged from lack of oxygen did he let go.

Finally free, she gasped for air, and her eyes were slightly hazy. The instant she regained her composure, however, the haze cleared and was replaced by a sharp glint, accompanied by a swing of her palm as she tried to strike him.

This lecherous playboy!

“Little pipsqueak, you’re so forceful and unreasonable… Your husband was just trying to tell you the method, why did you try to slap me?” Long Qingxie squinted his eyes as he caught her hand and wrapped it in his. There was a dangerous tinge in his bewitching voice.

Meanwhile, Yun Wu couldn’t help but pause. Was he talking about the method to revive her body?

The violet-colored mist that came out of his mouth was most likely his yuan force, a form of energy taken from his cultivation base.

Her brows were furrowed as she stared closely at him and demanded an elaboration.
