Chapter 182: Chapter 135: Fine, Then Let’s Say I’m Seducing You
"Remember what you said. You won’t force me, and you won’t drug me."
"Mhm, I remember."
He answered in a low voice, then leaned in to capture her lips. His scorching hand traveled up her slender leg, making her skin burn where he touched.
Jiang Yunnuan jolted as if shocked, her body trembling as she began to struggle violently. Her voice came out rushed and furious.
"You... you said you wouldn’t force me..."
"Mhm. I’m not forcing you."
He replied softly, his hand never pausing as it continued to stoke the flames on her sensitive spots. In moments, Jiang Yunnuan was left feeling weak and pliant, panting softly.
Her hands were tied together, making it impossible to push him away. All she could do was struggle frantically in an attempt to dodge his touch.
"If you’re not forcing me, then... what is this?"
"This, of course, is flirting!"
His throat worked, his voice low and hoarse, his breathing ragged.
Hearing such shameless words, Jiang Yunnuan gritted her teeth in fury and cursed at him.
"You’re just twisting things! Shameless! Did I agree to flirt with you? I didn’t! So what you’re doing is coercion and harassment."
"You didn’t agree? Fine. Then just think of this as me seducing you. Or pleasing you. Seduction and pleasure... I don’t need your permission for that, do I?"
With that, he crushed his lips to hers again, giving her no chance to say another word.
"Mmph mmph mmph..."
Jiang Yunnuan still wanted to protest, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get a single word out, only able to produce a series of muffled sounds.
He was determined to seduce her.
He drew her into a deep, passionate kiss, his hands roaming her body, expertly stoking the flames. On top of that, he deliberately let out sexy, alluring sounds.
Something hard and dangerous pressed against her, rubbing in a way that was frustratingly indirect, like trying to scratch an itch through a boot.
Unable to see, her other senses became heightened.
She was losing ground under his fierce assault. Soon, her reason crumbled. It was a torturous, unbearable itch, as if countless ants were crawling under her skin. She unconsciously returned his kiss and wrapped her legs around him.
Noticing her subtle reactions, the corner of Jun Yao’s mouth curved into a smile. He then pulled away from her lips. Stunned, she dazedly chased after him for another kiss.
But she missed, her well-kissed, glistening lips landing on his chin.
It didn’t feel right. She frowned, squirming in his arms with impatient need.
He reached out and cupped her face. "How about now?" he asked, his voice hoarse. "Do you want to do it with me?"
His words made Jiang Yunnuan freeze. Her scattered senses came rushing back, and she was furious with herself.
’This bastard was trying to control my body and mind with lust, and I actually fell for such a shallow trick. How pathetic of me.’
Her body ached with unbearable need, but she gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. Though her voice was still breathy, her tone was firm.
"No!"
’Unless I consent, no one is going to use lust to control my body and mind.’
Seeing how much she was suffering and how badly she wanted it, yet still refused him so resolutely, a dark look flashed across Jun Yao’s eyes.
But he didn’t lash out. Instead, his lips curled into a smile, and his voice held an eerie gentleness.
"How about this, let’s make a bet!"
"No! I’m not betting with you."
’Making a bet at a time like this... I don’t even have to think to know that nothing good can come of it. I absolutely cannot agree.’
"It’s not up to you. You have to take this bet. The time limit is half an hour. If you can hold out until then without begging me or actively rubbing against me, then I won’t touch you today. I’ll let you leave, and I will never appear before you again for the rest of our lives."
"Are you serious?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yunnuan’s heart trembled.
’If I can hold out, will he really disappear completely and never show up again in my life?’
"Mhm, I’m serious. I’m starting the timer now."
With that, he closed his eyes and kissed her again, his lean, scalding body pressing tightly against hers as he stoked the flames even more outrageously.
Jiang Yunnuan’s mind spun into chaos, and for a moment, she had no idea what to do.
’It’s true that I don’t want to sleep with him until he reveals his identity!’
’But I also really don’t want him to disappear from my life forever.’
’What should I do?’
Sob!
As his scorching lips and tongue moved over her, Jiang Yunnuan couldn’t hold back a whimper, tears welling at the corners of her eyes.
’This damned bastard... toying with me like this.’
In an instant, her body was overwhelmed with an aching weakness.
She felt an uncontrollable urge to give up and surrender, but a stubborn trace of defiance lingered in her heart, refusing to be extinguished.
Suddenly, he stopped, a hint of alarm in his eyes.
’Shit, someone’s coming!’
’Could it be Fu Yuan and Si Xie?’
’I hid this cave with a Barrier long ago. Even they shouldn’t be able to sense it, right?’
With a wave of his hand, a screen of light materialized in the air. It showed the scene in the forest outside the cave.
Two tall figures slowly came into view. Just as he’d expected, it was Fu Yuan and Si Xie.
"Strange. I suddenly can’t sense Nuannuan’s presence anymore. Can you?"
Si Xie sniffed around, then frowned as he looked at Fu Yuan.
Fu Yuan shook his head, his expression serious as he spoke.
"Nuannuan’s presence vanished completely right here. That’s not normal. There’s only one explanation for her presence to be cut off so abruptly: Jun Yao has concealed it. They must be somewhere nearby. Let’s search again, more thoroughly."
"Okay."
「Inside the cave.」
When he suddenly stopped, Jiang Yunnuan didn’t feel a sense of relief. Instead, she grew even more tense. Her mind raced with countless dire scenarios, certain he was plotting some new trick.
Just then, the voices of Fu Yuan and Si Xie echoed in her ears.
’What’s going on?’
Jiang Yunnuan’s heart skipped a beat. "Is that Fu Yuan and Si Xie?" she asked. "I think I heard their voices."
"Fu Yuan? Si Xie? Who are they?"
He pinched her chin, his voice holding a faint, unreadable smile.
Hearing that, Jiang Yunnuan froze, so angry she had the urge to slap him.
’This bastard is still pretending. How long is he going to keep up this act?’
’Since he refuses to reveal his identity, he’s a stranger. I have nothing to say to him.’
"Who they are has nothing to do with you. Is the half-hour almost up? Don’t forget your bet. As long as I can hold out, you have to let me go when time’s up."
Her words were like a dagger, plunging deep into his heart and leaving it to bleed.
He tightened his grip on her chin. "Do you really feel no reluctance at all to leave me?" he asked, his voice hoarse.
"Hah, that’s hilarious," she scoffed. "Who are you? Do I know you? As far as I’m concerned, you’re just the thug who kidnapped me. Why would I be reluctant to leave a thug? Am I some kind of masochist?"
"You tell me. Why should I feel reluctant to leave a complete stranger who kidnapped me?"
’He won’t even tell me who he is. He just wants to get laid for free, so why is he putting on this whole heartbroken act?’
’Strategy, mission... to hell with all of it!’
’I’m done with all of it!’
