"You?" Su Yunmo knitted her brows tightly. Although she had guessed it was him, seeing him in person still surprised her. "What do you want?"
Ye Jingkun walked to the bedside and reached out to brush away the stray strands of hair from her forehead. "You know the answer, why ask?"
Su Yunmo noticed the bowl in his hand, which contained a disgusting, dark, wriggling worm. She frowned deeply.
Ye Jingkun caught her gaze and held the bowl closer to her. "This is a gift from the King of Nanjiang."
Su Yunmo turned her head away, her face filled with disgust.
"Heh~" Ye Jingkun chuckled, unfazed. He sliced open his wrist, letting his blood drip into the bowl.
"I had already considered this. Since you are unwilling to stand with me no matter what, I will have to resort to special means."
The worm in the bowl quickly drank up the blood.
Su Yunmo saw the worm turn red, appearing to mature. A jolt of alarm shot through her, and a thought formed in her mind.
This was a Gu worm!
"It seems you've guessed. Don't worry, it won't hurt much, and it will be over soon." Ye Jingkun reached out and ruffled her hair.
Su Yunmo struggled desperately. "Let go!"
She tried to use her powers, her mind reaching out.
But she found her powers unusable.
Someone had placed a restriction in this room!
The next second, Su Yunmo's chin was gripped by the man.
Ye Jingkun forced her head up and put the Gu worm into her mouth.
"Ugh!" Su Yunmo instinctively retched, but what terrified her more was that the Gu worm seemed to have a will of its own, trying to burrow into her body.
She opened her mouth to bite, but her chin was held fast.
The Gu worm vanished into her mouth at some point.
Su Yunmo suddenly felt a chill spread from the soles of her feet upwards, followed by dizziness. Her mind went blank.
Precious memories were slowly fading, leaving a blank slate.
Seeing that she had stopped resisting and her eyes were becoming vacant, a hint of brutality and endless possessiveness flashed in Ye Jingkun's eyes.
"Momo, I told you long ago, what I want, I always get." He leaned down and placed a light kiss on Su Yunmo's lips.
After the kiss, however, he felt an uncontrollable surge of agitation.
It wasn't affection, but a malicious desire to break something fragile.
He bit Su Yunmo's lips forcefully, his teeth sinking into the flesh, only stopping when her tender lips were bleeding.
Blood trickled down Su Yunmo's mouth. She instinctively felt pain, her eyes welling up with tears, but she offered no resistance. Instead, she looked at the man opposite her with a gaze filled with fear and unease.
This was not an expression Su Yunmo should have been capable of showing.
Ye Jingkun knew she was now completely controlled by the Gu worm, her memories entirely lost.
"Good girl, from now on you will stay by my side, understand?"
Su Yunmo tilted her head slightly, a flicker of confusion in her eyes, but she obediently replied, "Yes."
Ye Jingkun gazed at her innocent eyes, a violent impulse stirring within him. He instinctively reached out towards her eyes, then sighed deeply.
Never mind, since she was his now, these eyes were his too.
Such eyes were more beautiful on her.
Leng Lingyun entered from outside, her voice laced with amusement. "Is Prince Kun satisfied?"
A murderous glint flashed in Ye Jingkun's eyes, displeased by her interruption of his time with Su Yunmo.
Leng Lingyun knew he was unhappy but paid it no mind. "If Prince Kun is satisfied, why not prepare? That person is arriving soon."
Ye Jingkun's gaze deepened. He looked at Su Yunmo one last time before turning and leaving.
Meanwhile, Ye Jingyu had just received news of Su Yunmo's kidnapping.
He didn't need to ask to know who was responsible. Unfortunately, he was still in his 'injured' state and couldn't storm into Prince Kun's mansion in broad daylight without evidence.
Otherwise, if this matter escalated, there would be no good outcome.
Linlang also knew the gravity of the situation. Despite her anxiety, she could only wait.
When night finally fell, Ye Jingyu went to Prince Kun's mansion alone.
Ye Jingkun had known he would come and was already waiting.
"Where is she?" Ye Jingyu's first question was about Su Yunmo.
"Doesn't this scene feel familiar to you, third brother?" Ye Jingkun opened the door and emerged from the house.
Su Yunmo followed behind him.
The moment Ye Jingyu saw the little dumpling, his brows furrowed deeply.
The little one's face was devoid of expression, her eyes vacant, as if her soul had been extracted.
"But this time it's different from last time," Ye Jingkun said, walking down the steps, then beckoned to the little dumpling. "Momo, come here."
Su Yunmo took small steps towards Ye Jingkun. He reached out to stroke her face.
The little one obediently nuzzled into his palm.
Ye Jingyu's expression instantly turned grim. "What did you do to her?"
Ye Jingkun had no intention of hiding it. "Just a small worm, but enough to control her mind. She is mine now."
A swift murderous intent flashed in Ye Jingyu's eyes as he drew his sword. "Whether she's yours or not, you don't get the final say."
To make Momo stand by his side, he would resort to such measures.
He had underestimated him!
"Third brother really is persistent. I originally didn't plan to use this move, but..." Ye Jingkun paused.
He looked down at the little dumpling beside him.
"Momo, I heard Prince Yu was injured, but now I see he's fine and jumping around. I find his liveliness rather displeasing."
Su Yunmo seemed to receive some sort of command. She turned towards Ye Jingyu, a red glow flashing in her eyes.
She wanted to use her powers to kill Ye Jingyu, but due to the Glazed Lock, she couldn't use her abilities on that man.
So, she walked step by step towards Ye Jingyu, clenching her fists and striking at him.
Ye Jingyu hadn't expected Ye Jingkun to make her attack him.
In this situation, he couldn't strike with full force, nor could he even use his weapon, fearing he might hurt her.
But the little dumpling's every move was a killing blow, each strike aimed at Ye Jingyu's vital points.
"Momo, wake up! You're mine!" Ye Jingyu gritted his teeth, trying to pull her consciousness back, but it was useless.
Her eyes were blood-red. Under Ye Jingkun's command, she had become a killing machine.
Ye Jingkun watched them grapple. He flicked a speck of dust from his sleeve. "Third brother, there's no point in calling out anymore. It's useless."
The Gu worm had drunk his blood. Now, she would only listen to him and no one else.
Several times, Ye Jingyu narrowly dodged Su Yunmo's attacks, almost having his neck snapped.
He suddenly embraced the little dumpling, a thought flashing through his mind. "Whether it's useless or not, we'll find out."
Su Yunmo pulled a dagger from his embrace and thrust it towards Ye Jingyu's chest.
Ye Jingyu slightly shifted, avoiding his heart, and then allowed her to plunge the dagger into his chest. "Ugh!"
The man grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Momo!" Ye Jingyu called her name, word by word.
As the dagger was thrust in, the Glazed Lock on Su Yunmo's chest emitted a dazzling light, burning into Su Yunmo's heart.
