Chapter 295: It’s enough if your lordship has you (2/2)

“Hey, did you suspect me of having connections with Medical City’s Poison Sect from the very beginning?” Han Yunxi made her words even more obvious. She was always open and upright when it came to him and topics like the Poison Sect or Shadow Clan. Long Feiye was clearer than anyone else that Han Yunxi was a fool who didn’t know anything about her origins.

“Yes!” This time, he admitted it outright “Your lordship hopes that I can use the Poison Sect.” He took out the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion and gave it to her again. “One who holds the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion gains the Poison Sect as well. Protect it well…”

When he got to this point, Long Feiye gave Han Yunxi a penetrating look. Though his eyes weren’t cold, they were filled with a terrifying warning. “If you lose it again…”

He suddenly pressed closer, a wicked look on his face. Though he didn’t finish his sentence, the intense heat emanating from his body made Han Yunxi tremble. She was certain that the consequences would be more severe than this time.

Long Feiye, will there ever be a day of escape for me in this lifetime?

Long Feiye personally stuck the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion in Han Yunxi’s sleeve. He was about to rise and leave when he noticed a lump in her sleeve. Han Yunxi followed his gaze to the lump and gave a start. It was already too late for her to hide it. When Long Feiye touched the lump it actually started to tremble. Long Feiye gave a questioning glance at Han Yunxi, who wanted to cry from Lil Thing’s stupidity. Didn’t it know to stay still when he was around? She looked at Long Feiye, still thinking of how to explain things, when he suddenly tightened his grip around the lump.

“You’ll hurt it if you squish it!” Han Yunxi panicked. She thrust aside Long Feiye’s hand and took out Lil Thing from her sleeve, only to see it curled up into a shaking ball. It had been chased willy nilly by Long Feiye so that it was completely unwell. After seeing its master at the Mu Clan, it dove for cover in her sleeve, but just then, Long Feiye had actually touched it with his hand. It was thus exposed instantly. If even master was afraid of him, why shouldn’t it be afraid as well? Lil Thing tried to curl up even further into a ball in Han Yunxi’s hands until it was a complete furball.

“It’s a new pet I’m raising, a squirrel,” Han Yunxi said with a grin.

But Long Feiye only replied with two words. “Poison beast.” It wasn’t a question, but a clear statement of a fact. This little creature ate medicine and ran extremely quickly. It even knew how to swallow and spit up his gold card. How could it be any ordinary animal? If Lil Thing hadn’t belonged to Han Yunxi, he might have assumed it was an ordinary beast, but he’d appeared by Han Yunxi’s side only after she left him in Medical City. The clues couldn’t be any more obvious. This squirrel was the very poison beast that had disappeared without a trace that day in the Sky Pit. Han Yunxi was able to treat Long Tianmo’s poison because of its existence.

As expected, nothing could escape his eyes!

Han Yunxi was rendered mute by Long Feiye’s words. She anxiously hugged Lil Thing to her chest and said, “You can’t hurt it. Its blood can’t cure a hundred different poisons anymore!” Lil Thing had eaten its fill, and its teeth were still full of poison, but its blood had yet to recover. She didn’t know when it would, but Gu Beiyue had said it’d take a while. Everyone in the world was fighting over the Gu Shu just because of its blood. When Long Feiye saw Han Yunxi’s serious expression, he stared at her for a long time in interest without saying a word. Han Yunxi felt goosebumps from his staring and subconsciously shielded Lil Thing against her chest, feeling even more cautious.

Long Feiye narrowed his eyes and slowly drew closer. Of course he knew that the poison beast needed a long time to recover after its blood was used once. Moreover, he also knew that it ate a tremendous amount of food. Han Yunxi only felt more pressure from his proximity and backed away to a corner of the bed. She was about to let Lil Thing run away when Long Feiye said coldly, “It’s enough if your lordship has you. What do I want it for?”

Urk. Han Yunxi was dumbfounded. His words…

Long Feiye suddenly reached out and grabbed Lil Thing from Han Yunxi’s hands before flinging it outside.

“Cheeeee..!” Lil Thing gave a wretched cry as it flew out the window and disappeared into the night.

“Lil Thing!” Han Yunxi’s heart ached. She was about to rise and chase after it when she bumped into the body of Long Feiye. Only then did she realize how close they were to each other. She hastily backed away until her back was resting against the headboard. This wasn’t the first time he’d gotten so close, but it was the first time that both of them was sharing a bed.

Long Feiye’s reticent gaze suddenly deepened. He’d already thrown Lil Thing aside, but he didn’t plan on backing off just yet. Gradually, his breathing grew heavier. His strong, slightly fragrant masculine scent washed over Han Yunxi, causing her heartbeat to quicken. In the silent room, time itself seemed to stop.

Suddenly, there was a pounding on the door. Soon afterwards, Tang Li’s voice carried inside. “Big bro, are you inside? There’s news of Han Yunxi from the City of Daughters.”

Long Feiye recovered his senses and said, “Rest well. I’ll be right outside. Chu Xifeng’s taking Mute Granny back to Tianning first, we’ll depart ourselves tomorrow.”

So speaking, he quickly got off the bed and left without turning back.
