HCB Chapter 241 Is that all it takes to appease him?
Chapter 241 Is that all it takes to appease him?
“Silencing stone…” Wu Muli murmured, taking two steps back. “This stone belongs to Jiang Jiusheng. What is your relationship with her?”
"Are you in charge?"
Zhai Rongyu jumped off the bed, walked to the table, picked up a stone, weighed it in his hand, and assumed a throwing posture.
"Hehe, you should try the deafening sound too!"
After saying that, she threw the stones in her hand at Wu Muli in one go!
Wu Muli couldn't dodge in time and was hit squarely by her. "Ah—!"
The leaked demonic sound emanated from the crack in the rock, deafeningly penetrating Wu Muli's eardrums. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted instantly, blood flowing from his mouth and nose.
Zhai Rongyu walked over, squatted down in front of him, and patted his face.
"If you ask me, you're just lucky to be alive."
"It's a good thing you came looking for trouble before the sacrificial ceremony, otherwise you really wouldn't have survived."
[Tomorrow, Wu Muhong will offer a sacrifice. The next head of the Wu family cannot afford any losses at this time.]
With a quick glance, she mischievously pulled out a handkerchief and hastily wiped the blood from his face, turning what were originally just a few streaks of blood into a full-face mess.
Zhai Rongyu stepped back half a step, looked at her masterpiece, and then shoved the handkerchief into Wu Muli's arms with satisfaction.
"Yun Gu, throw him at the entrance of Helian Tanyao Palace."
"Yes!" Yun Gu dragged Wu Muli out.
Zhai Rong clapped her hands, stood up, turned and walked to the bedside, raising her eyes to meet Jun Ce's clear yet dark gaze.
Zhai Rongyu: (?｀?Д?′)!!
Holy crap, that scared me!
"Ah Xu, you...you're awake?"
[Damn it, why can't I even speak properly anymore...]
I haven't done anything wrong, so what am I afraid of?
She puffed out her chest as if to encourage herself.
Jun Ce said quietly, "If I'm not mistaken, Rong'er not only touched another man just now, but also stuffed a handkerchief into his arms?"
Zhai Rongyu felt a jolt.
[Bad dish.]
They're even calling themselves "this king" now.
[He must be really angry.]
[Strike first and catch them off guard!]
She walked to the bedside and sat down, hands on her hips, pretending to be angry. "Hmph, don't talk about me, you're no better than me!"
Jun Ce: ?
His face darkened: "What did I do?"
Zhai Rongyu turned her head away: "You're taking advantage of me while you're being provocative!"
After finishing her accusation, she turned around and yelled at him, "Who knows, you might try to take advantage of other people in the future!"
Jun Ce: ...
"I won't touch other women." The clear voice was slightly hoarse, as if filled with sorrow.
Zhai Rongyu immediately felt guilty, lowered her hands from her hips, and muttered with a stiff neck, "You say you won't, so you won't?"
"Back then, you were completely... completely..."
"What is it at all?"
"I can't think of anything other than that!" Zhai Rongyu said, then added angrily, "You weren't even conscious. What if someone else was next to you? Would you still be kissing and hugging them like that?!"
Jun Ce stared at her for a long time, and then a hint of a smile appeared in his deep, dark eyes.
"What are you laughing at?!" Zhai Rongyu was even angrier.
"This is the first time Rong'er has ever been genuinely jealous of me."
He pulled the girl over, looked at her like a treasure for a long time, then hugged her in his arms, pressing his large hand against the back of her head, seemingly quite pleased.
"I won't hold what happened earlier against you."
[Wow...you've already appeased them?]
Jun Ce chuckled softly.
Zhai Rongyu rested her head on his head and hummed twice, "You don't mind, but I do."
"You still haven't told me, what if there's a next time and I'm not there for you?"
Jun Ce looked at her with amusement. "I knew it was you, that's why I acted that way."
He didn't tell her.
For some reason, he had always disliked women getting close to him since childhood, and felt disgusted whenever they touched him.
But Rong'er is an exception.
Although he is a dragon and his nature is hard to change, it seems that this nature is only particularly difficult to control for her.
Zhai Rongyu turned her head to look into his misty eyes, "Alright, I'll believe you this once."
She stammered, "That handkerchief isn't mine."
"Not yours?" Jun Ce pulled away, staring at the girl in his arms.
"Hmm... I just randomly picked a palace maid."
Jun Ce, recalling her order to Yun Gu to throw the person at Helian Tan Yao's door, suddenly curled his lips into a smile and reached out to flick her nose, "When did Rong'er learn to kill by destroying the spirit?"
"Isn't it all learned from you?" Zhai Rongyu turned her head away.
……
Helian Tanyao paced back and forth in the room, holding a soft whip in her right hand and tapping her left palm intermittently.
"What's that noise outside?" She suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Reporting to Your Highness! It's Young Master Wu who's back!" A maid rushed in, her expression shifting.
Helian Tanyao was overjoyed and lashed her whip in the air, "Brother Li is back? Did you succeed?"
The maidservant said with a pained expression, "Young master... he was... he was thrown back here!"
"What did you say?!"
Helian Tanyao pushed her away and rushed to the palace gate, where she saw Wu Muli lying on the ground with his face covered in blood. "Brother Li!"
She nudged Wu Muli, and a handkerchief fell from his arms.
Helian Tanyao picked it up and looked at it, her face showing a hint of displeasure. "Whose little slut's stuff is this!"
She shoved Wu Muli hard, and when he didn't react for a long time, she got angry and threw the handkerchief on the ground.
"Liar! They are all liars!"
Like his father, he pretended to be good to him on the surface, but in reality, none of them were good people!
“Princess…” Wu Muli slowly woke up and looked ashamed when he saw Helian Tanyao.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you."
Helian Tanyao suppressed her anger, but her desire to exploit him grew stronger.
She suddenly curled her lips into a forced smile and said, "Why do you say that, Brother Li? It must be that vixen's cunning that made Brother Li lose the battle."
She rolled her eyes and dug her fingers into her palms.
"Tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, and the Wu family's restrictions will be lifted. Brother Li, would you be willing to help Yao'er push that demoness into the restrictions?"
"You want her to be sacrificed along with her father?!"
Wu Muli struggled to his feet, his face filled with shock.
Once the Wu family's restrictions are activated, no matter how strong one's cultivation level is, anyone who enters the vortex will be immediately absorbed!
However, throughout history, the spiritual energy absorbed by the forbidden vortex during grand ceremonies has always been very pure, belonging to the Wu family lineage. If other spiritual energies are mixed in, who knows what the consequences will be.
Besides... the vortex's suction force is immense; if he were to push Zhai Rongyu, he himself would likely be in danger...
“Princess, this matter is of utmost importance and must not be handled recklessly,” Wu Muli advised.
As the next head of the family, he naturally knew the implications.
Helian Tanyao ignored all of that and gritted her teeth, saying, "That demoness is extremely powerful; only this method can deal with her!"
She pressed down on Wu Muli's shoulder, "Brother Li, didn't you promise to help Yao'er?"
Wu Muli hesitated, "I..."
"Fine..." Helian Tanyao shoved him away, her expression ferocious. "If you don't want to help, I won't force you! Tomorrow, this princess will take that demoness with me and jump into the forbidden vortex, and perish together with her!"
"Princess! You mustn't!" Wu Muli hurriedly stopped her.
He looked at her for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Okay, I'll help you!"
"Tomorrow at the grand ceremony, once Father activates the restrictive vortex, I will definitely push Zhai Rongyu down!"
