Free Web NovelChapter 86: Chapter 84: My Fault for Being Reckless
Fei Yan picked up the small porcelain jar from the side, dipped his fingertips into the ointment, and gently applied it to her cheek.
"Does it hurt?"
His breath brushed lightly against her neck, and his voice, as if carrying seductive notes, easily made Su Mo’s heart race uncontrollably.
"It’s... it’s okay."
Su Mo wanted to reach out and apply it herself, but Fei Yan evaded her.
He suddenly cupped her face and asked, "Momo, have you missed me these past few days?"
Su Mo blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded in a daze.
"Out of all of us, who did you miss the most?"
"..."
’An expert at treating everyone equally would never answer a question like this!!!’
Fei Yan sighed and leaned closer. His calm, deep eyes swept over her brows and eyes, then landed on her lips.
The pad of his finger gently brushed across her lips. He said with a note of resignation, "I’m right here in front of you. Won’t you even say a few nice words to coax me?"
"I..."
"Never mind. You just need to know that I missed you."
After speaking, he continued helping Su Mo apply the ointment, as if that moment of intimacy had never happened.
’That’s it? Something doesn’t seem right... Is he angry?’
Out of the corner of her eye, Su Mo caught sight of his sexy Adam’s apple, and for a moment, her thoughts ran wild.
’Should I grab his neck right now, kiss him hard, and tell him, ’I missed you the most!’?’
Fei Yan’s movements paused. Then, without a change in expression, he shuffled a little closer to her. He even lowered his head slightly.
In the past, when he saw those Females staring at his face with greedy eyes, he only felt disgust. But now, he felt a little grateful.
Grateful that his face was considered good-looking.
Su Mo looked at the face so close to hers and felt troubled for a moment.
’Where should I take the first bite...’
’Is this a bad idea??? If this keeps up, I’ll look like a total pervert... No, no, I can’t just let myself go wild whenever I’m in front of him. I need to restrain myself!’
Fei Yan, who was applying ointment to her arm, paused his movements. Then he continued applying the medicine, his expression unchanging.
Outside the room, Yue Ying had gone from rampaging in fury to squatting by the door, quiet as a mouse.
Listening to Su Mo’s inner thoughts, he was so angry he nearly ground his back teeth to dust.
When it came to scheming to arouse their wife’s desires, the High Priest’s methods were currently the most intricate of them all!
Mo Xiao was leaning against a nearby wall, his face showing no emotion, but the growing darkness in his eyes betrayed his feelings.
He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to block out Su Mo’s inner voice.
Inside the room, Fei Yan finished applying the ointment to Su Mo’s arm and asked softly, "Do you need help with the injuries on your body?"
Su Mo didn’t notice the undercurrent of emotion in his eyes at all.
She lay down decisively and placed a leg on his lap. "My leg first~"
"Mm."
Fei Yan lowered his head, rubbed some ointment into his palm to warm it, then carefully began to apply it.
He massaged her gently with the pads of his fingers. "Does that feel better, wife?"
The smooth, delicate sensation made the temperature of Fei Yan’s palms gradually rise, just like the hidden fire in his chest that burned hotter and hotter beneath his calm exterior, drowning his rationality inch by inch...
Su Mo only felt that his palms were scalding, yet they also brought a tingling, numbing sensation. She let out a cat-like moan, "Mmm~"
’He’s not trying to seduce me on purpose, is he?’
’No, no, he’s the most proper and self-restrained one of the group~ If it were that damned fox at a time like this, he would have pounced on me long ago~ He wouldn’t be patiently helping me apply ointment. Damn it, the more cold and self-possessed he acts, the more this lady wants to see him lose control...’
’How can he be so patient? I’m the one who’s about to lose it!’
As Su Mo thought this, she began to act.
She suddenly pulled back the leg he was holding and tugged open his lapels.
Fei Yan froze, his entire body stiffening. The tips of his ears instantly turned bright red, and the already dark color of his eyes deepened even further.
Then she went all in, her hands moving wildly as they strayed uncontrollably into dangerous territory.
By the time she realized something wasn’t right, her face was flushed crimson.
She scrambled to pull back her mischievous hands, only for them to be caught by the man in front of her.
The next second, he pulled her into his arms, easily trapping her so she couldn’t move.
Fei Yan looked at her with eyes turbulent with hidden emotion and asked in a hoarse voice, "Wife, do you like this?"
In a daze, Su Mo nodded, her face flushed red.
He asked again, "If you like it, why didn’t you continue?"
Su Mo tentatively placed her hand back, blinking. "You’re the one who said it. In that case, I won’t hold back..."
Before she could even move, he caught her hand.
He leaned close to her ear and said in a low, bewitching voice, "I wasn’t talking about here... I meant the place from before."
Su Mo realized what he meant and her eyes shot wide open.
She opened her mouth to say something, but was silenced by his kiss.
In the instant their breaths intertwined, Su Mo could see a brilliant light faintly glowing on his chest.
His hand was like a branding iron, its heat making her flustered.
Su Mo’s mind went blank.
An unprecedented tremor coursed through her heart.
His lips landed on the shell of her ear as he asked breathlessly, "Do you like me, wife? Even just a little..."
Su Mo was still in a state of oxygen deprivation, her tongue feeling numb.
"Mhm."
She answered with a soft, lingering sound.
The next second, the man before her completely lost control.
Fei Yan hadn’t originally intended for this to happen, but the intense desire he felt was more than enough to burn his remaining rationality to ashes.
What’s more, she, like this... was no different from an addictive poison to him!
He whispered coaxingly as he kissed her, "Let’s not go eat, alright?"
Su Mo felt her heart beating so fast it felt like it would burst from her chest at any moment.
She frowned uncontrollably as a dense, sharp pain bloomed in her chest, allowing her rationality to return for a moment.
Fei Yan noticed something was wrong and froze abruptly.
Upon seeing her pale little face, the desire in his eyes was instantly replaced by worry. "Wife, what’s wrong? It’s my fault! I was too impulsive!"
He seemed to be berating himself for having been too reckless just now.
Su Mo took a deep breath and shook her head. "It’s not your fault."
’What’s going on? Why does the poison in my body feel like it’s spreading?’
Su Mo reached for the Detoxification Pill by the bed.
Fei Yan quickly poured one out and placed it by her mouth.
Su Mo rested for a moment. After her heartbeat stabilized, she summoned Little Nine.
"My poison, what’s happening to it?"
Little Nine thought for a moment before asking, "Host, have you eaten anything you shouldn’t have recently?"
Su Mo thought for a moment. "Jin Tong’s blood?"
That day, he had forcibly stuffed his cut finger into her mouth, forcing her to swallow his blood.
Other than that, Su Mo couldn’t think of anything else.
Little Nine frowned. "The blood of a Level Nine Beastman would strengthen the body of a normal person. But because you, Host, are already poisoned, it likely acted as a catalyst instead."
Su Mo frowned.
’This body is just too useless... I really can’t get too excited. My little frame just can’t handle the pleasure... Handsome men are tempting, but my life is more important!’
’Before the poison in my body is neutralized, I have to be more careful. What if I just kick the bucket one day...’
The next second, she was pulled into a fierce hug by the man before her. "When we get back, we’ll figure out a way to cure the poison together. You’ll be alright!"
"Okay."
Although Su Mo agreed, a thread of worry couldn’t help but sprout in her heart.
’My body is practically the king of all poisons; how could it be cured so easily? They really shouldn’t have fallen for me...’
"There has to be a way! It’s my fault, I was too reckless!"
"It has nothing to do with you. Stop blaming yourself."
’There’s no point talking about this now. I have to find a way to cure the poison as soon as possible.’
Fei Yan hugged the woman in front of him, afraid of hurting her, yet not daring to squeeze too hard.
Recalling the scene from just now, he couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear.
Too much had happened recently. They all thought that with her abilities, she could definitely cure the poison.
But they had forgotten—if the poison was so easy to cure, why would she have delayed until now?
