Chapter 490: Try and yell at her again
The sudden impact of the door left Han Yunxi and Gu Qishao with no time to react before Long Feiye entered and strode past the folding screen.
He saw a room filled with ambiguous scents, a floor covered in scattered clothing, a beautiful girl sitting on a bed.
He saw Han Yunxi’s skirts pulled high, high up, revealing her shins and jade-like feet. Her upper garments were bound across her chest, exposing her bare shoulders; strands of hair fell loosely about her face, the rest tied carelessly behind her head.
He saw Gu Qishao’s long, slender legs exposed to the air, the bedcovers wrapped around his bare upper body. His hand was resting on Han Yunxi’s naked shoulder!
Long Feiye stood stunned, not budging an inch. His face was completely expressionless, but after sweeping his gaze over the pair, his cold eyes penetrated into Han Yunxi’s own without response. Meanwhile, both Han Yunxi and Gu Qishao had been caught off guard. They assumed that it was soldiers who’d entered their room, not Long Feiye!
This guy, didn’t he leave with Duanmu Yao? When did he come back, and how did he find this place?
Han Yunxi could only feel surprise right now. After all, she was convinced that Long Feiye had disappeared with Duanmu Yao already, and in such a rush that she was sure they’d take two or three days before they returned. In the silent room, the three figures stared at each other without speaking. Time itself seem to stop along with their breathing. But Long Feiye was the quietest of all, quiet enough to be frightening!
Suddenly, a commotion sounded from outside. More people were coming over!
Long Feiye turned expressionlessly to walk outside, slamming the door behind him. Both Han Yunxi and Gu Qishao gave a start before returning to their senses. Inside, they could hear Long Tianmo and Mu Qingwu’s voices from beyond the door.
“Imperial Qin Uncle, how is it?”
“Your Highness Duke of Qin, was there anyone inside?”
“No one,” Long Feiye said immediately, his voice cold.
Long Tianmo and Mu Qingwu didn’t delay, but went to search somewhere else. Long Feiye stood in front of the door as his entire figure dimmed. His eyes were so dark that not a single speck of light escaped them, the pupils turning into an endless abyss. He had always been extremely picky about things like that. In the past, when she’d taken off a single shoe, he’d gotten very angry; he cherished her body so much that he hadn’t dared to touch her rashly, even now. But now she was half-dressed in a room with another man!
Just what had they done, and how long have they been like that?
Long Feiye’s hands gradually formed into fists until veins popped out from the skin. His fury mixed with the chaotic blood qi swirling around his insides. For the first time, his tall and steady form looked on the verge of collapse! But he didn’t wait long. Once the hallway was cleared of people, he slammed his fist against the door and cried, “Han Yunxi, why aren’t you out yet?!”
Inside the room, Han Yunxi had just gotten dressed, so anxious that her hands were shaking. Although Gu Qishao kept reminding her about the wound on her shoulder, she didn’t bother giving it another look.
Damn it!
For the sake of evading that black-robed assassin, she and Gu Qishao had put on a play. This wasn’t altogether blameless, but still forgivable. Still, why had she forgotten to get dressed when applying medicine to Gu Qishao afterwards? How could she have forgotten? Although she came from the present and thought nothing of exposing a shoulder or leg here and here, she knew better than anyone else where Long Feiye’s limits were!
After getting into her clothes and shoes, she ran towards the door without even bothering to pick up her medical pouch. But Gu Qishao grabbed her and pulled her back. “Poison lass, you’re still injured on your shoulder! You haven’t even taken out the arrowhead yet!”
“I won’t die!” Han Yunxi shook his hand free and headed for the door, but Long Feiye came in instead. When he saw the two of them pulling and pushing at each other, the effect was like adding oil to fire.
He unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Gu Qishao. “Let go of her!”
“Long Feiye, just try and yell at her again! This old fellow won’t release her!” Gu Qishao grew stubborn as well. He hated it when Long Feiye was so fierce to Han Yunxi, and despised the fact that the man had lied to her! He couldn’t see anything good about him!
Perhaps many people would assume that he was forcing himself on Han Yunxi despite knowing that she was a married woman. But in truth, he knew that Han Yunxi loved that other man, which was why he wouldn’t force her. This wasn’t what he wanted!
As long as that girl told him she didn’t like Long Feiye anymore, he’d take her away at once. Long Feiye had given her wealth, status, and fame, but he could do the same! Even if his heart was filled with nothing but revenge against the medical academy, he could still win all of Cloud Realm Continent for Han Yunxi if that was what she wanted!
But Gu Qishao’s current stubbornness only exacerbated Long Feiye’s already fiery temper. He simply stabbed his sword at Gu Qishao, who immediately pushed Han Yunxi aside to grab his own sword to block. But the sudden movement caused the injuries on his back to all open up, sending fresh blood soaking through the bandages. Han Yunxi had no idea that Long Feiye had serious internal injuries as well; she only saw that Gu Qishao couldn’t hold out any longer under his wounds.
“Long Feiye, can’t you wait for me to explain first?!” she said frantically.
“No!” Long Feiye had lost all traces of reason in his anger. Heaven knows if there was any man who could keep his cool in this situation. Perhaps the only ones who could were the ones who didn’t love the woman involved at all!
Long Feiye’s sword swept towards Gu Qishao’s lower body, and the man immediately flipped into the air to avoid the slash. More blood stained his bandages, dying a large patch of his back bright red. Han Yunxi panicked and ran to block Long Feiye’s next strike with her own body. She too, had lost her wits in the midst of the chaos.
“Long Feiye, you’ll have to kill me first before you kill him!”
