"Lu Pianpian!"
Huan Changming didn't know if it was because of anger or something else, but his hands trembled uncontrollably, and his deep-seated disgust was replaced by an inexplicable emotion.
Lu Pianpian cupped his face in her hands, and the kisses she placed on his lips were light and soft, very careful, as if she were afraid of melting or shattering him.
Huan Changming closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was a scarlet color in his eyes.
He stared intently at Lu Pianpian, who was wreaking havoc beneath him, looking at her with the eyes of someone eyeing prey.
"Lu Pianpian".
"You asked for this."
Huan Changming's hand sank into Lu Pianpian's hair, penetrating it with irresistible force, deepening the kiss and taking the initiative.
A note from the author:
I'm now a paid novel! To thank everyone for their support, I'll be holding a giveaway so you can read the story for free. Also, please add the following two novels to your pre-orders QAQ;
1. *I Am the Tyrant's White Moonlight*
[A paranoid tyrant who's sick inside and out x A holy son who just wants to survive]
After dying once, Ze Jin discovered that he was the villain in the novel. He was vengeful, treacherous, and cunning. He predicted that the male protagonist, Yin Huo, was a harbinger of disaster, turning him into a fierce and vengeful ghost that everyone feared and kept at a distance. Yin Huo was imprisoned in a certain world until his death.
But the male protagonist is the male protagonist after all. Not only was he not imprisoned to death, but he also forced the emperor to abdicate, commanded the heroes, and died at the hands of the mutinous army.
The seventh prince, Yin Huo, was a cruel and ruthless tyrant in the eyes of the Chen Kingdom, but in Ze Jin's eyes, he was a real madman.
Even in death, Ze Jin could never forget the way Yin Huo looked at him—mad and obsessive, as if he wanted to devour him alive.
The first scene after his rebirth is when Ze Jin, as the holy son of Chen, prophesies that Yin Huo is a jinx, and Yin Huo is pinned to the ground by guards and about to be imprisoned.
Ze Jin stood high up, dressed in pure white robes, like a god.
Yin Huo was pressed to the ground by the guards, like the mud beneath his feet.
Ze Jin lowered his eyes and met Yin Huo's gaze on the ground. Yin Huo smiled coldly at him.
Ze Jin: "..." Is it too late to retract the prophecy now?
A casual prophecy from the Holy Son turned the favored prince, the seventh prince Yin Huo, into a vengeful demon despised by all.
His family abandoned him, his palace servants bullied him, and his old enemies broke his legs. He became a capricious cripple, rotting in a cage, ignored by everyone except one person—
Heal his legs, drive away his enemies, and painstakingly manage his affairs to help him escape his prison.
He always appears whenever he is about to die.
He is the god of Inho.
On the day Yin Huo forced the emperor to abdicate, he led his men to search the entire palace but could not find him.
When he arrived at the Holy Son's palace, intending to kill the seemingly righteous Holy Son to vent his anger, he discovered that the Holy Son was wearing the jade pendant that he had given him.
He grabbed Ze Jin and slammed him against the wall, hissing as he demanded, "Where is the owner of this jade pendant? Tell me, and I'll spare your life."
Ze Jin: "If I said I was the owner of the jade pendant, would you believe me?"
#That's right, I'm both the ideal man and the arch-enemy#
#I survived under the tyrant by changing my online identity#
2. *The Demon Lord is My Ex-Boyfriend*
Yue Luoti is a fairy, but she can neither subdue demons nor exorcise monsters. She spends her days holed up in her palace, wasting her time and being a useless person. It is said that the heavenly realm does not keep useless people, but she alone can so openly and honestly waste her days, which makes her many diligent and hardworking fairy friends very envious.
One day, a newly ascended immortal couldn't help but feel indignant: "All the immortals are working hard for the sake of all living beings. How can you, an immortal, be so depraved? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Heavenly Emperor?"
Yue Luoti thought for a moment and said, "The Demon Lord is my ex-boyfriend."
Xiao Xian: "So what? He's long since vanished into thin air, and he can't support you anymore..."
Yue Luoti patted his shoulder, "I killed him."
Xiao Xian: !! This woman is ruthless!
The Demon Lord Jing Shui Lou ruled over the three realms of demons, monsters, and ghosts. He was infamous and the Heavenly Realm always regarded him as a major threat. Three hundred years ago, the Heavenly Realm sent a stunningly beautiful goddess to the mortal world to lure him into the path of love, which finally led to his complete annihilation.
Unexpectedly, three hundred years later, he was resurrected—
Demons, monsters, and ghosts, all beings of the three realms, knelt on the banks of the River of the Underworld to welcome the king's return. The river water was stained a deep, inky black by resentment, and it surged and flowed backward, creating towering waves. From within these waves, a figure slowly emerged—
The crowd bowed their heads and shouted, "Welcome back, Your Majesty!"
"Bring Yue Luoti here..." Jing Shuilou was enveloped in an intense aura of resentment, his dark eyes flashing with a chilling bloodlust, "I want to tear her apart and devour her!"
However, when Yue Luoti was actually brought before him, he asked in a hoarse voice with red eyes, "You said you liked me, but it was all an act from beginning to end?"
My ex-boyfriend, whom I killed, has come back to life and is asking me if I still love him. What should I do? Urgent help needed online!#
Chapter 21
A sudden spring rain disrupted the hunting trip. The pampered young masters, unable to withstand the rain, returned to their tents to take shelter, and the hunt was temporarily put on hold.
"You know, this rain just started out of nowhere, it really caught us completely off guard."
"Today is the Beginning of Spring. As the old saying goes, spring rain is as precious as oil! It's quite an elegant thing for my brother and me to get drenched in this spring rain!"
"Haha, you really know how to talk, brother!"
After handing Huan Mi over to the guards, Huan Juntian overheard their conversation and asked, "You just said today is the Beginning of Spring?"
"Your Highness, today is indeed the beginning of spring."
Huan Juntian's expression changed, and he turned back to the hunting grounds. The palace servants who were holding umbrellas for him couldn't catch up with him even if they wanted to. "Your Highness, Your Highness!"
When Qu Surou and Jing Yi returned to their tent together, they bumped into Huan Juntian. Seeing his tense expression, Qu Surou grabbed him and asked, "What happened?"
"Senior sister, today is the beginning of spring!"
Qu Surou was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then immediately realized, "Where is Pianpian?"
"We're looking for it, but it's not in the tents."
"He didn't return to his tent because of the rain?" Qu Surou also became a little anxious. "It's a good thing he didn't return to his tent; he can't be in crowded places right now..."
Jing Yi listened carefully for a couple of minutes, then said thoughtfully, "Young Master Lu, has something happened? If there's anything I can do to help, please feel free to ask."
Qu Surou said, "Go back, this is none of your business."
"But you two seem quite anxious. Do you really not need my help?"
“No need.” Qu Surou used magic to locate Lu Pianpian, and quickly found her position. “Over here, Huan San!”
"Senior sister, let's go."
Jing Yi was left behind by the two senior and junior disciples, whose behavior struck him as odd.
Qu Surou and Huan Juntian explored all the way to the bottom of the cliff, and from a distance they saw Lu Pianpian lying next to a recessed stone cave.
Qu Surou quickly ran over and picked up Lu Pianpian's upper body. Seeing that his clothes were disheveled, she straightened them for him. "Thank goodness, your clothes are still here. You should be alright..."
Lu Pianpian had already fallen into a coma. Huan Juntian lifted up his sleeve, probed his arm with his fingertip, and then took it out and looked at it. "It's starting to lose its powder."
"Huh? How come the powder is coming off so quickly?" Qu Surou looked at her palms and saw that they were indeed covered in powder. "Didn't you usually have to stay in your room for a few days before the powder started to come off?"
“I don’t know either, but we can’t let our senior brother stay here. Let’s take him back first.”
"good."
Qu Surou helped Lu Pianpian onto Huan Juntian's back, and Huan Juntian carried Lu Pianpian on his back. The three of them quickly left the bottom of the cliff.
After they had gone some distance, the white cat jumped down from the tree, shook off the raindrops, and said, "They're gone."
Huan Changming emerged from the shadows, leaning against a tree trunk. He had overheard the entire conversation between Qu Surou and Huan Juntian.
The two of them seemed to have anticipated Lu Pianpian's strange behavior. Could it be that Lu Pianpian wasn't poisoned by love, but rather that she was losing fans because of what they said?
The cat carried Huan Changming's coat out of the hole, and seeing a small puddle of something strange on it, it jumped back in surprise. "Changming, you really did have Lu Pianpian..."
Huan Changming glanced at the foreign object on his coat and sneered, "He's having a great time."
The cat's ears turned red as it listened, and it muttered under its breath, "Didn't you enjoy it?"
"I have no interest in necrophilia."
He said he didn't care, but he was actually very annoyed.
Lu Pianpian fainted after he finished relieving her pain, leaving him standing there like a fool, which caused the fire in his body to not completely subside even now.
Huan Changming kicked away the eye-catching coat in front of him. The cat ran to his feet, trying to jump into his arms, but Huan Changming grabbed its ears and said, "You're filthy."
The cat had no choice but to retreat again. Huan Changming clapped his hands and found a few specks of golden powder in his palm, like the phosphorus powder on some kind of insect.
He yanked the cat up to his eyes and noticed some golden powder around its mouth. "You just picked up my clothes with your mouth?"
"yes."
He hugged Lu Pianpian when he wore that outfit.
Huan Changming stared at the phosphorescent powder emitting a golden sheen in his palm, his eyes becoming deep and unfathomable.
The spring hunt was abruptly halted by a sudden downpour, but the very next day, a shocking event occurred in the country.
On the second day after the funeral of the late king, the new king of Xiye Kingdom, Wu Yao, led a large army to launch a night attack on the border of Li Kingdom. The Li army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, allowing Xiye Kingdom to occupy a city and take all the city's people hostage.
Upon receiving this news at the morning court session, King Li flew into a rage, even taking his anger out on the guilty princess who was mixed with Xiye blood, and had her imprisoned to vent his hatred.
Although the princess's misfortune was undeserved, the people of Li Kingdom hated the Xiye people to the bone after this battle, and the court officials tacitly agreed, with no one raising a single objection.
Compared to an insignificant princess, they were more concerned with how to dissuade the Prince of Li from launching a rebellion against Xiye, because the current situation was indeed not a good time to start a rebellion.
"Your Majesty, setting aside the city itself, the entire population of Li Kingdom is still in the hands of west Ye's soldiers. For the sake of these people's lives, I believe that this time we can only negotiate peace with west Ye, not go to war!"
"Your Majesty, we agree!"
"Please put the people first, Your Majesty!"
Suppressing his anger, the King pondered for a long time before asking, "How should we discuss this?"
Jing Xiang bowed to King Li and said, "I believe that a marriage alliance is the best policy."
When Jing Yi received the news that Huan Changming had been imprisoned, he bribed the jailer and rushed to the prison to visit Huan Changming, but was stopped by Huan Mi.
