"Tonight, you must not leave."
Who could refuse such a request?
Feng Yexuan certainly wasn't leaving.
The one who should leave was Chu Wang.
Therefore, Chu Wang promptly rolled away.
Chu Qianli immediately wanted to go inside and find paper and a pen from her imperial father's desk.
However, just as she turned, Feng Yexuan grabbed her arm.
"My master is still resting. You said the fewer people in this chamber, the better, didn't you?"
Chu Qianli thought for a moment and finally nodded. "Let's go to another chamber."
She couldn't be away for too long, fearing her imperial father's condition might change.
After instructing Xiao Shunzi to look after the Emperor, the two went to a nearby chamber.
This time, Chu Qianli took out paper and a pen, and also the syringe, to draw a tube of blood from Feng Yexuan.
Just as she was about to squeeze the drawn blood onto the Heaven and Earth Lock, Feng Yexuan stopped her. "With this King here, what do you need this blood for?"
"This way, you won't get hurt," Chu Qianli looked up at him.
Wasn't this the best method?
Feng Yexuan, however, frowned, looking displeased. "Whether this King gets hurt or not, is that your concern?"
More importantly, he seemed to understand that with blood drawn this way, his presence wasn't necessary at all.
What if this damned woman said later that she could handle it here and told him to go back and rest like his uncle? Would he then be able to refuse to leave?
If he didn't leave, the damned woman would just laugh at him for being reluctant to leave her.
"This King has plenty of blood!" He snatched the glass tube containing his blood, intending to discard it.
Chu Qianli quickly stopped him. "Don't throw it away!"
All his blood, and she wanted to waste it like this!
"This King doesn't like this method!" Feng Yexuan still wanted to throw it.
Suddenly, Chu Qianli seemed to understand.
At that moment, she didn't know whether to be angry or amused.
This guy...
"Alright, don't throw it away. I... I'll keep it. Tonight, we'll use your blood."
He just didn't want to leave, did he? Making so many excuses! This tsundere dog man!
"Since you like this King's blood so much, you can keep it," Feng Yexuan snorted.
Chu Qianli really wanted to pick up the glass tube and smash it on his head.
Give him an inch, and he takes a mile, is that it?
After thinking about it, she still didn't want to discard someone's blood. After all... it was drawn from him, a part of his body.
Chu Qianli had no choice but to take a vacuum-sealed bottle, inject the blood into it, and then seal it.
This way, it could be guaranteed to have a shelf life of at least several years and wouldn't solidify.
Although she didn't know why she was being so persistent, this was his blood after all... she always felt it was particularly precious.
After placing the vacuum-sealed bottle back into the Qiankun Chain, Chu Qianli looked up at him. "Let's open..."
Her words stopped abruptly in her throat, unable to come out.
This guy, why was he staring at her? And with a playful smile in his eyes!
"You seem to cherish this King's belongings very much," Feng Yexuan said with a half-smile. Before Chu Qianli could retort, the smile on his lips suddenly froze.
His expression was serious, more so than ever before.
"If you like it, you can have anything on this King."
Chu Qianli frowned, still unable to resist, and her face turned red again.
"What would I want with the Prince's belongings?" She inexplicably thought of some... unspeakable scenes, making her lips dry and her tongue parched.
She quickly turned her face away, feigning disdain.
"You can do whatever you want."
Feng Yexuan's words were said with utmost sincerity, not as a joke.
"Everything this King has is yours."
