CHAPTER 305: CHAPTER 296: LOOK AT HOW SPINELESS YOU ARE

The girl’s starry eyes shone, her beautiful features twisted into a scowl, glaring at the man in front of her with anger and accusation, her demeanor somewhat amusing.

Nangong Mo held a bowl with one hand, his brow and eyes indifferent, his expression as cold as the Wind Snow Pool.

"Will you cooperate obediently? Or should I tap your acupoints?"

"???"

Yun Ran slightly widened her eyes, daring to feel anger but not to express it!

[Isn’t this plainly bullying? So shameless, so excessive! But...]

[It seems I’m really not his match right now... If he forcefully insists... Forget it, a wise man knows to back down when facing immediate losses! Revenge can wait ten years for a maiden!]

With this thought, Yun Ran tried hard to give him a dazzling smile, her brows and eyes curving in a placating manner, "I’ve already felt your immense care~ I’m very touched! I’ll definitely thank you properly!"

"As for this medicine... I don’t think I need to drink it! What do you think?"

The man gave her a cold glance, his thin lips forming a cold and enchanting arc, "You have the courage to endure that sword, yet fear drinking medicine?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[This is contempt! Raw, cold sarcasm! Mind games! Salt in the wound! No restraint in speech!]

After mentally beating him up, Yun Ran steeled herself, putting on a sacrificial demeanor, and reached out her hands, "Give it to me, I’ll drink it!"

However, he coldly tossed over three words:

"I’ll feed you."

"..."

Feed? How to feed?!

Yun Ran almost couldn’t control herself from slamming her hand on his head!

It’s not just his shamelessness that makes one feel disgusted, but also how bitter the medicine is; only those who have drunk it know its unforgettable bitterness! Bitter, spicy, and pungent taste that you’ll remember for life!

If she closed her eyes and drank it all in one go, she might get some relief! If he fed it to her like that, it would be sheer torture!

The difference is like a swift death by decapitation versus slow and torturous execution...

"You’re just intentionally trying to torture me, aren’t you?"

Facing Yun Ran’s accusatory gaze, the man’s expression remained icy, likening him to an emotionless celestial being aloof from human joys and sorrows.

"Knives and swords are merciless, yet good medicine tastes bitter; how could it be torture?"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Listen to that strange tone, whom is he subtly criticizing? It’s truly...not adorable at all!]

The unapologetic man had already taken a sip of the medicine, circled his arm around the back of her head, pulling her into his embrace.

Yun Ran instinctively wanted to resist, but met his deep and coldly alluring eyes, clear in their meaning: Be good, stay still, or I will have to tap your acupoints.

Yun Ran: "..."

[This is robbery behavior!!!]

To Yun Ran, it wasn’t a bowl of medicine, but a form of human torture! It wasn’t just a regular bowl, it felt like an endlessly inexhaustible magic bowl!

Because she felt as if she had been tormented for an eternity by the medicine! So long that it was numbing...

Finally finishing the last sip, Nangong Mo slipped a piece of candied fruit into her mouth.

Yet Yun Ran felt even the candied fruit was bitter!

Her insides felt bitter... Her whole being was about to transform from bitterness!

Nangong Mo looked at the girl’s face, scrunched up like a bun from bitterness, his demeanor still coldly reminding her, "Three times a day for a seven-day dosage."

At his words, Yun Ran nearly passed away on the spot!

Only after a long pause did she summon back her fleeing spirit, "Are you... serious? You’re not joking?!"

Nangong Mo gave her a cold glance, his tone chilly, "If the wound hasn’t healed after seven days, you’ll have to continue drinking."

Yun Ran: "..."

[The most one takes is a sip; there’s no need for such torture, is there?!]

[Isn’t one bowl enough?! One bowl is unforgettable already, isn’t it?!]

Yun Ran looked at him with a bereft expression, "Just give me a blade straight away! I don’t want to live anymore!"

His whole aura condensed, the air seeming to gather into a storm, "What did you say?"

Meeting his eyes, as deep as a thousand-year-old cold pool, Yun Ran quivered inwardly, reflexively shuddering, "Um... I was kidding! I-I actually really enjoy drinking medicine!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Yun Ran couldn’t help but despise herself internally:

[Yun Ran, look at yourself, what a pathetic sight! What shame!]

Nangong Mo’s icy gaze studied her for a while, coldly curled his lips, "Really? I thought your favorite was eating blades!"

Yun Ran: "..."

[Are you courteous?! Can your conscience bear cold satire towards a gentle and kind weak woman?]

[Where is your humanity? Did it wander off and get eaten by wolves?]

[Even dogs have more humanity than you!]

Her heart cursing away, her face smiling with curved brows and eyes, full of obsequious flattery.

"How could it be! You, sire, are truly a witty and humorous handsome gentleman! That knife isn’t tasty, I prefer chicken drumsticks!"

"Chicken drumstick?" The man gave her a cold glance, an unfeeling cold laugh, "These few days, you only have medicine to drink."

Yun Ran: "..."

[Even tyrants aren’t as excessive as you, right? You’re purely trying to endanger lives!]

Ignoring Yun Ran’s eyes filled with grievances and accusations, Nangong Mo stepped back, flipped down from the bed.

Yun Ran thought he was about to leave, hurriedly asked, "Well, was my sack returned?"

Two icy, cold words drifted in the wind:

"Thrown away."

"What? Thrown away? You’re lying to me, right?"

Nangong Mo did not answer, instead leaned over and, unilaterally, tucked Yun Ran into the blanket.

Yun Ran: "???"

"I just woke up, I’m not sleepy!"

Just as she tried to get up, she was pushed back again, his coldly enchanting words carrying an undeniable authority, "Lie down properly, recover from your injury."

"Actually, my wound..."

"Or I tap your sleep acupoint."

Yun Ran: "..."

[Can’t you wait for someone to finish speaking before considering?!]

[Such autocratic dictatorship! You’re a bandit, aren’t you?!]

As she fumed internally, the man supported himself by the bed beside her ear, suddenly leaning over, his handsome face almost touching her cheek.

Yun Ran’s breath hitched, her heart trembling, "W-What are you doing?"

From mere inches away, the man looked deeply into her eyes, wide, like an endless ocean, like a distant and vast sky, seemingly capable of drawing a person’s soul within.

Being stared at by him, Yun Ran felt a sudden burst of panic, "W-Why aren’t you, saying something?"

Yet he remained silent, the bedroom was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Being so close, one could clearly feel the warmth of his breath brushing against the cheek, see how each of his eyelashes was long...

"Lin Wanyue."

He suddenly spoke, his voice low and husky, breaking the silence, Yun Ran’s heart quivered, "W-What?"

"If you dare to recklessly harm yourself like that again, I will certainly not be lenient."

Yun Ran: "???"

What?!

What did he say?!

Not be lenient? How would he not be lenient?
