Chapter 183: Chapter 136: Listen to Me, Don’t Be a Love Brain
"A thug you don’t know at all?"
"Yes, that’s right. A complete stranger, a shameless scoundrel..."
His face suddenly darkened, a furious blaze igniting in his eyes. He abruptly reached out and ripped the black cloth from her face.
Her vision was suddenly flooded with light. Her eyes, long accustomed to darkness, felt uncomfortable, and Jiang Yunnuan instinctively squeezed them shut.
Suddenly, a large hand reached between her legs and began to squeeze forcefully. Her heart trembled, and she snapped her eyes open in terror, reflexively kicking out at him.
He caught her by the ankle, pulling her fair, beautiful leg down and pinning it. Then, he withdrew the hand now slick with her wetness and cruelly smeared it across her chest.
A glistening, translucent sheen spread over her delicate, smooth skin.
Jiang Yunnuan was stunned by his shameless act. She stared at him with her beautiful eyes, which were filled with disbelief.
"You get like this for a scoundrel you don’t even know?"
He narrowed his eyes at her and let out a mocking laugh.
Jiang Yunnuan snapped back to her senses, her reddened eyes showing a hint of disappointment and anger.
"Yes, that’s right! So what if it’s a shameless scoundrel I don’t know? I get like this no matter who teases me. I’m just a slut, a total whore. I’ll get wet for anyone. You—MMF..."
His lips suddenly crushed against hers again, silencing the rest of her words.
He pressed her tightly into his embrace, his head lowered as he kissed her with an urgent yet gentle touch. As expected, she bit his lip hard, and the taste of blood instantly filled their mouths.
She was like a feral cat, radiating an aura of uncontrollable rage, ready to bite anyone who came near.
Jun Yao frowned, pulling his lips away from hers despite the pain. He gently soothed her back with his hand and apologized in a soft voice.
"I’m sorry, I was wrong..."
"Is the half-hour up? Let me go if it is!"
Her icy eyes fixed on the hideous mask, her voice devoid of any emotion.
His entire body stiffened. Then, he chuckled. "Did you really expect a thug to keep his promise?"
"What, are you going back on your word?"
"And why shouldn’t I?"
’To be so shameless and self-righteous about breaking a promise... I really overestimated him.’
Jiang Yunnuan turned her head away, not wanting to look at him for another second.
"Don’t be angry, I was just teasing you. There are still seven minutes left. Just stay with me for seven more minutes. As soon as the time is up, I... I’ll let you go immediately."
’I shouldn’t have appeared before her so soon!’
’I was too hasty. I didn’t control myself well, and that’s what led to this situation.’
He gave a bitter laugh, untied her wrists, and reached for the dress beside them. Gently, he helped her put it on.
Jiang Yunnuan froze, wondering if she had heard him correctly. She slowly turned to look at him.
His head was bowed as he straightened her dress. The mask hid his expression, but she inexplicably sensed a certain gentleness and earnestness from him.
After fixing her dress, he looked up at her and smoothed down her messy hair. Finally, he pulled her panties out of his pocket and reached between her legs.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she quickly shot her hand out to grab his wrist.
He lifted his gaze to meet hers. His throat bobbed. He pressed the panties into her hand, lifted her out of his lap, and turned his back to her.
Jiang Yunnuan looked at the flimsy bit of fabric in her hand, then at his back. Her brows knitted together, a flicker of confusion in her eyes.
’How could he suddenly become so courteous and respectful of boundaries?’
’It was a complete split from how he’d been acting before, so much so that she found it hard to believe.’
"Are you done? Time is almost up!" he called out, his back still to her.
Jiang Yunnuan snapped out of it, wiped herself messily a few times, and took out a clean pair of panties to put on.
"I’m done."
"Okay."
He turned around and looked at her. "Go on. There are people nearby looking for you. Once you leave this place, they’ll find you right away."
Jiang Yunnuan looked at the cave entrance, then back at him.
Suddenly, she took a step toward him and wrapped her arms around his waist. His pupils trembled, the light in his eyes instantly shattering, and his body went ramrod stiff.
"I’ll ask you one more time. Are you really not going to take off your mask?"
"I can, but you need to answer a few questions for me."
He chuckled softly, reaching out to gently stroke her head.
"What questions?"
"Who... do you love?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yunnuan froze for a moment, then replied without hesitation, "My Contractors, of course."
"Then will you only have one Contractor?"
"No!"
The smile in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a flicker of imperceptible pain.
A moment later, his throat bobbed, and his voice came out hoarse and deep, laced with a slight tremor.
"Fine. I understand. You should go, quickly. Otherwise, I might just change my mind and not let you leave!"
’In the end, he still can’t accept Fu Yuan and Si Xie?’
’Am I really that useless? Is that why I can’t make them accept each other?’
Confusion clouded Jiang Yunnuan’s eyes. She let her arms fall, releasing him, and pressed her lips together as she turned to walk out of the cave. The moment she turned, her eyes began to sting uncontrollably.
Watching her retreating figure, the man clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles went white, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Outside the cave, the sunlight was blinding.
Jiang Yunnuan raised a hand to shield her eyes.
"System, I want to give up on the conquest missions and just do the main quest."
[You can’t do that. The conquest missions are part of the main quest. You can’t give them up.]
[But I still have to ask, why do you want to give up the conquest missions, Host? Did you fall in love with Jun Yao? Do you want to be with him and only him for the rest of your life?]
[Listen to me, being lovesick is a bad idea! Since when have lovesick fools ever come to a good end?]
[Besides, I’ve checked. Your affection values for the other conquest targets like Yan Chen, Fu Yuan, and Si Xie aren’t low at all. Are you really willing to give them up, Host?]
Jiang Yunnuan: "..."
’If I can’t give up, then what’s the point of saying so much?’
She quickly blocked the system.
"Nuannuan..."
Si Xie’s urgent voice suddenly rang in her ears. With a whistle of wind, two figures dropped from the sky like lightning, moving with incredible speed.
Jiang Yunnuan’s vision blurred for a second before she was forcefully pulled up. Si Xie gripped her by the arms, carefully checking her over from front to back and side to side.
"We finally found you. Are you all right?"
"I’m fine," she replied, shaking her head.
Fu Yuan frowned, his eyes scanning over her before he suddenly turned to look at the cave behind her.
He had searched this area back and forth many times and remembered clearly that there hadn’t been a cave there before. A cave couldn’t just appear out of thin air, which meant it had to be Jun Yao’s hidden refuge.
’Nuannuan had been hidden inside it all this time.’
A glint in his eyes, he started toward the cave.
"Nuannuan, did that bastard bully you?"
Si Xie’s heart ached so much he was on the verge of tears.
He sniffed at Jiang Yunnuan and caught the overwhelmingly strong scent of a male. He didn’t even have to think to know she was covered in that bastard’s saliva.
