Free Web NovelChapter 210: Chapter 189: You Like This Kind of Game
"Female Master, we’re home."
The wheelchair rolled smoothly across the ground before coming to a stop at the foot of the stairs.
This was a temporary residence and hadn’t been specially adapted.
This made it extremely inconvenient for Yu Lan, who currently needed a wheelchair to get around.
Of course, a small problem like this was no obstacle for Qi Jingshen.
The tall, green-eyed, black-haired man bent down slightly. The next moment, as if lifting a child, he wrapped one arm around Yu Lan’s shoulders and the other under her knees, lifting the small female right out of her wheelchair.
It was at this moment,
when Yu Lan’s head was closest to Qi Jingshen’s neck.
After days of being toyed with by this bastard, the anger smoldering inside Yu Lan had reached a boiling point.
Almost without thinking, she opened her mouth and bit down hard on Qi Jingshen’s neck.
The instant she bit down—
The man’s body froze instantly. He stopped walking, and the veins on his neck bulged, throbbing.
He barely managed to suppress the defensive instincts honed by years of training; he had almost thrown Yu Lan from his arms.
Fortunately, he restrained himself.
His large hands, holding Yu Lan, tightened slightly as he felt the pressure of her bite on his neck increase.
Too bad.
To Qi Jingshen, that little bit of force felt like nothing more than a kitten gnawing with its baby teeth.
’A disobedient little kitten needs to be punished harshly.’
SMACK!
Qi Jingshen raised his hand.
His large palm landed a heavy blow on her. His voice turned husky, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly.
"Don’t you know a man’s neck is off-limits?"
"Or perhaps you touch Huo Zhanting and the others so often that it’s become a habit?"
"Female Master," Qi Jingshen said, his large hand patting Yu Lan’s back gently. His deep voice held a dangerous edge.
"You need to behave."
At that moment, Yu Lan felt as though all her blood was rushing to the spot where Qi Jingshen had struck her.
An intense wave of shame washed over her.
’She was a grown woman.’
’How dare he hit her!’
Yu Lan gritted her teeth, her bite on the flesh of Qi Jingshen’s neck tightening.
Soon, she tasted the faint, metallic tang of blood.
As Yu Lan bit down viciously in retaliation, she failed to notice that the tall, handsome young man’s expression remained completely unchanged.
He simply carried her nonchalantly, walking swiftly through the courtyard and into the house.
Then, he strode into the bedroom.
The next second.
Yu Lan was thrown directly onto the bed.
Her body bounced a few times on the very springy mattress.
Thrown so suddenly, Yu Lan was dazed for a moment.
Before she could even steady herself,
the next second,
the handsome, green-eyed, black-haired young man pounced on her, the small bite mark on his neck still trickling blood.
His rough fingertips tilted up Yu Lan’s small, delicate chin. Qi Jingshen’s voice, laced with a wicked amusement, questioned her:
"Hm?"
"So, you like to play rough?"
"Just biting probably isn’t enough for you, is it?"
"I have a whip. Want to try it?"
’What?’
A flicker of confusion crossed Yu Lan’s eyes.
Before she could even figure out what new brand of crazy Qi Jingshen was on today,
she was stunned to see that the man had, from God knows where, actually produced a masterfully crafted leather whip.
Her eyes flew wide.
’What does he mean?’
’Is he going to whip me as revenge for the bite?’
Before the thought could even fully form, the man took the jet-black, gleaming whip—one that looked like it would inflict excruciating pain—and placed it firmly and forcefully into the palm of her hand.
His beautifully shaped lips parted.
"Go on."
"Whip me."
"If whipping me satisfies you," Qi Jingshen’s voice dropped to a low whisper as he leaned in close to her ear, breathing against her plump, pale earlobe,
"maybe I’ll let you go."
’He actually wants me to whip *him*?’
’What kind of bizarre, twisted hobby is this?’
Yu Lan felt as if her entire worldview had been violently shattered.
Her beautiful eyes widened as she scanned him up and down in disbelief.
Then, she shook her head frantically.
’There’s no way I could do something like that.’
With a surge of strength in her small hand, she threw the whip aside.
She shot Qi Jingshen a fierce glare with her beautiful eyes, making her refusal clear.
Qi Jingshen’s expression didn’t change in the slightest,
as if he were completely unbothered by her attitude.
But in reality, a storm was raging within him.
He had never imagined someone like her could exist.
He had clearly handed her the perfect opportunity for revenge, yet she refused to take it.
’No wonder... No wonder Huo Zhanting and the others liked her so much. Even he was feeling a little...’
The next second,
to Yu Lan’s utter shock, Qi Jingshen turned and picked up the whip from the floor.
He returned to her side, raised an eyebrow, and asked casually:
"Not willing?"
"Is it that you don’t want to play this game? Or that you don’t like playing with me?"
Yu Lan simply closed her eyes.
Refusing any and all communication.
She had a strong feeling that the atmosphere between them was becoming vaguely inappropriate.
But unfortunately, she couldn’t speak right now.
Otherwise, she would have shouted at him to stop.
Left with no other choice, Yu Lan opted to close her eyes, shutting out the sight, sound, and thought of whatever Qi Jingshen was planning.
’If I don’t cooperate, he’ll surely lose interest and leave on his own.’
But what Yu Lan didn’t know was,
that with her eyes closed, her lashes trembling, and her red lips pursed, she was even more captivating.
Qi Jingshen lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on her pursed red lips. The delicate curve of her Cupid’s bow was slightly pronounced, calling to mind a flower waiting to be picked.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, a sign of his strained control.
Then,
He opened his mouth, his sharp little canines flashing in the air for an instant.
The next second,
the man bit down on Yu Lan’s soft, pale cheek.
He then gave it a thoroughly lewd lick.
Yu Lan’s eyes snapped open.
She stared at Qi Jingshen in utter disbelief.
Qi Jingshen raised an eyebrow. His wicked, deep green eyes met hers, his expression one of such wanton arrogance it made one want to punch him.
She couldn’t take it anymore.
Yu Lan’s urge to curse him out was overwhelming.
But with her pressure points sealed, she was unable to speak.
So she shot her hands out and began signing furiously in the air.
Qi Jingshen narrowed his eyes, recognizing her signs for what they were—curses like ’animal,’ ’pervert,’ and ’degenerate.’
He ground his sharp canines inside his mouth, feeling that itch again.
In the natural world,
a snake’s fangs store potent venom. When it bites a coveted prey, the toxins are injected at lightning speed, making escape impossible.
Even after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, right up to the current interstellar era,
Beastmen sometimes found it difficult to escape the inherent instincts of their beast forms.
Take now, for example.
Qi Jingshen’s deep green eyes narrowed. Watching Yu Lan, her cheeks puffed out in a pout as she furiously signed her accusations at him, he felt a rare, primal urge—the impulse to inject his venom.
He shifted, bending a knee to hide the reaction of his lower body.
He deliberately misinterpreted her signs:
"I know, I know. You don’t have to confess."
"I know you like me, that you love me deeply."
"And that you want to be with me for the rest of our lives."
