Wei Qingge’s hand, firmly held by him, felt as if it were on fire, burning hot.
Her eyes were red, and she stiffened in a daze.
“You’re lying.”
Being so fierce would kill her.
Li Qiongyu lowered his gaze, seeing her frightened, red eyes, and lightly lifted her chin.
“Good girl, don’t be scared. I won’t touch you.”
“Then why haven’t you let go?”
The strength in his palm grew hotter, and through the thin fabric, she could feel the surging heat.
Li Qiongyu released her hand but directly carried her back to the nearby couch.
Wei Qingge felt flustered, scratching him, “What are you doing?”
“Resolving something.”
“Ah, you liar. You said you wouldn’t, and now you’re going back on your word.”
Li Qiongyu placed her on the couch, took off his outer robe, and looked down.
“Just kissing. Nothing else.”
As he spoke, he pressed her down onto the couch and sealed her lips with his.
Wei Qingge foolishly believed him, but as he held her and they rolled on the couch, kissing and licking, his eyes were filled with charm. She was momentarily bewitched and didn’t struggle.
But this scoundrel grew more audacious, even tearing at her undergarments and reaching inside.
Wei Qingge trembled all over, twisting her body and thrashing about.
“You have no shame.”
Li Qiongyu pinned her wriggling body and coaxed, “Just a touch.”
With that, he lowered his head and kissed her again.
Wei Qingge was in a panic, pushing him with her hands, but he grabbed her hand and guided it to her lower body.
Ah—
Her face instantly flushed crimson. She tried to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly, allowing her no movement, even holding her hand to guide it.
This damned pervert.
Wei Qingge cursed him with a contorted expression.
Li Qiongyu directly pressed down on her and kissed her, stifling her protests.
Later, she was too exhausted to even curse him and simply stared back at him.
“Are we done?”
He panted heavily, buried in her satin bodice, sucking and licking, completely ignoring her.
Wei Qingge twisted her waist in anger, but she couldn’t overcome the tingling sensation, making her seem to be coyly resisting.
She never would have imagined that one day she would be doing these things with Li Qiongyu on the couch.
In the past, they were always at odds, and a few words would lead to a fight. She could never defeat him, and he would make a fool of her in front of Brother Liu, which always embarrassed her.
She never thought he was doing it all on purpose, or that he would do such things to her behind her back.
This deceitful man with a beast's heart.
Thinking that they would be married upon returning to Shangjing and that she would be suppressed by him for life, she felt annoyed.
She deliberately squeezed him hard.
He bit her fiercely, raising his bloodshot eyes, his voice hoarse.
“I want to ruin the rest of your life.”
She stubbornly retorted, “Who said anything about the rest of my life with you? Don’t flatter yourself.”
“You’re the only wife I have. Who else would I be with?”
Wei Qingge said, “Stop pretending. You opened so many brothels, and you’ve been wandering outside for years. You’ve had countless women.”
Li Qiongyu chuckled lightly, “Are you jealous?”
“Jealous of what? You wish!”
Wei Qingge averted her eyes, unwilling to look at him.
“I haven’t, and I won’t in the future.”
Warm breath brushed against her ear, making her heart flutter. Before she could react, he lowered his head and kissed her again.
Wei Qingge was so tired she rolled her eyes, urging him on, but he completely ignored her, pinning her hand.
“My hand is so sore.”
Hearing her complaint, Li Qiongyu hugged her waist and sat by the bed, placing her on his lap and wrapping his arms around her waist.
“Shameless.”
God knows how long it took, but eventually, she was so tired she slumped onto his shoulder, whimpering, no longer struggling and letting him have his way.
The further the warships sailed inland, the heavier the rain became.
The surrounding mountains and rivers grew more eerie, shrouded in mist that obscured the directions.
Xiao Chizhan stood on the ship, his gaze darkening as he looked at the Gu窟 in all directions.
“Someone’s coming.”
The general beside him immediately focused on observing their surroundings upon hearing his words.
Xue Ren drew his saber, guarding him.
This Southern Border was unlike other places; it was sinister and eerie, skilled in using Gu techniques to bewitch people, making it impossible to guard against.
“King Dingbei, this humble king greets you.”
Suddenly, sharp arrows flew from all directions. A man dressed in the charming Miao style appeared with over a dozen elders wearing golden feathers and large skulls around their necks. The elders sat on golden lotuses, each holding a bone flute.
And above the four green secluded valleys, thousands of people suddenly appeared.
Those people were extremely strange, their faces covered with black ghastly sores, their eyes red, and their bodies and limbs stiff, like the legendary corpse herders.
They stood in various postures, motionless.
“What is that?!”
A general exclaimed in alarm, drawing his saber to block the front.
Xuan Qing stood on a nearby mountain valley, lightly laughing as he looked at Xiao Chizhan, who remained unfazed.
“I’ve long heard that King Dingbei’s martial arts are unmatched. Today, this humble king wishes to witness Your Highness’s bravery.”
Xiao Chizhan raised an eyebrow, “Xuan Qing.”
“It’s kind of Your Highness to still remember me. Back then, in the Battle of Mohe, I was almost crippled by the Grand General. Now that my body has recovered, I wish to spar with Your Highness.”
Xiao Chizhan sneered coldly, “Wouldn’t it be better to let that old man, the Gu King, come see me himself?”
Xuan Qing smiled faintly, “My father is fearful.”
The commotion outside was not small, and Li Qiongyu also heard the disturbance. He embraced the person in his arms, his desires calmed, and kissed her.
“Don’t come out.”
Wei Qingge couldn’t be bothered with him. Seeing him get dressed and leave, she immediately kicked him with her leg.
It didn’t budge!
Li Qiongyu remained unmoved. He tied his belt, turned back, placed a hand on her waist and hips, and slapped her.
Although it didn’t hurt, Wei Qingge still felt embarrassed.
She turned back angrily and glared at him, “Pervert.”
“If I’m a pervert, then you’re the one who belongs to a pervert.”
“——”
Li Qiongyu handed her a wet cloth and instructed, “Be good and don’t come out.”
Wei Qingge ignored him, angrily wiping her hands.
He ruffled her face and turned to leave.
As soon as he left, Wei Qingge immediately got off the couch to wash her hands, cursing as she did so.
Li Qiongyu, who had left, saw the strange people around and sneered.
They were here to intercept them.
Xiao Chizhan saw him and immediately gave him a look.
He understood and waved, instructing his men to act.
“Bring the people out. Make it quick.”
Xie Beihan wanted to bring them in to kill them all, but Xuan Qing had come to intercept them here. Something must have happened inside, so they had to finish quickly.
“Yes.”
Xuan Qing was not confident he could hold them off for long.
He looked at the dozens of warships anchored majestically in the Sacred Sea, his eyes darkening slightly.
Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, artillery platforms were mounted on the warships from all directions, directly targeting them.
Xuan Qing’s expression darkened, but in a turn of his gaze, he saw that the Ten Great Gu Masters, who should have been by the Saintess's side, had appeared on the Daliang ships.
His face instantly turned ashen, and the elders sitting on the golden lotuses around were all shocked, looking at the other side in disbelief.
