Chapter Twenty-Three: Choice

  This time, I'll let you take the initiative to ask me.

  Before I could even process the meaning of this sentence, my lips were covered by a warm and moist sensation, although it was through a handkerchief, but I could still feel the other person's **breath passing through the handkerchief into my mouth.

  Hmm

  The words were swallowed whole by the man's mouth, his large hand forcibly pinched her chin, forcing her to open her mouth, and then took advantage of this gap to skillfully slide in his long tongue. At first, it was shallowly rubbing back and forth on her tongue tip, feeling Qilin's evasion, and then deeply entwining Qilin's fragrant tongue. The handkerchief between the two had already been soaked wet by their passionate kiss, until the man realized that Qilin was a bit out of breath, he finally left her lips.

  Just as she was taking big gulps of fresh air, someone pinched her chin and her jaw felt like it was going to shatter. Next thing she knew, a cool liquid mixed with the strong scent of flowers entered her mouth.

  What is this?

  Unfortunately, she was too late to ask, it had already gone down her throat and into her stomach.

  The man quickly tapped twice on Zilin's body, then retreated into the dark corner, quietly watching the person on the bed.

  "Ah...?" A soft, unconscious moan escaped her lips, and Qilin was startled, covering her mouth tightly. However, the strange sensation in her body made her involuntarily arch her back.

  She knew it was related to what she had just drunk, and that thing made her think of the Mei Ren Hong given by the old procuress.

  So, that's what it meant.

  Tightly grasping the bed sheet, her head buried in the quilt, she could still smell the faint scent of tea, but this tea fragrance came from Yu Mu's body, mixed with a faint medicinal scent. In her mind, scenes of sharing a bed with Yu Mu kept flashing by. Although they shared a bed, he had never made any improper moves towards her, and she had never touched him either.

  Her body's dry heat sensation grew stronger, as if she had been thrown into a microwave oven, and even her bones were about to melt. She had heard from the old procuress that this was the most potent medicine, but didn't know it would react so quickly and strongly.

  She clutched her lower abdomen tightly, trying to suppress the scorching heat emanating from it, but instead, she exacerbated the spread of emptiness within. She gazed up at the man in the corner, knowing that her every move was now indistinguishable from those women, and perhaps even worse. All that remained of her sanity was desperately suppressing the turmoil within, and she knew that soon, her desires would triumph over reason, driving her to kneel submissively beneath him, wildly yearning for him.

  "Ah~"

  Jiāo xiū de dī yín zài yī cì wú yǔ jǐng de tuō kǒu ér chū, qí lín hèn bù dé yǎn gè dì dòng rán hòu zuān jìn qù.

  He buried his head deep in the bedding, and the faint tea fragrance suddenly became a medicine that could lower the temperature. However, it also made the scene of men and women making love clearer and more vivid, as if he was on the spot, able to hear the woman's cries of joy and the man's heavy breathing.

  "I...?" She finally couldn't help but shift her gaze to the man, Qilin didn't know how red her face was now, she only knew that she was burning all over, the scorching heat rising from her lower abdomen almost melted her entire person, stumbling and staggering to the man's side, grabbing onto the man's icy sleeve, as if grasping a lifeline, covering her body with it.

  Finally, couldn't bear it anymore? The man smiled triumphantly and didn't make any move.

  She desperately approached the man, only to find that the place where she was touched felt cool and refreshing. This also made Qilin regain a bit of sanity, but added a desire for the man's ***, eagerly finding the man's lips, covering them without hesitation.

  She hadn't kissed much before, so she just relied on her instincts and randomly sucked for a while. She found that as long as she kissed deeper, her body temperature wouldn't rise again.

  Her hands involuntarily reached into the man's sturdy chest, her fingertips transmitting a chill, but were tightly grasped.

  The man pushed away Qilin, dodging her fiery kiss, and looked at her with a mocking gaze. "You said you wanted me, I'll satisfy you."

  "I... I want..." The words reached the tip of her tongue, but were swallowed back fiercely. Suddenly, she felt a contraction in her lower abdomen, and an unusual sensation spread from below.

  When she raised her eyes again, her expression was dazed and filled with tears.

  "Either kill me or satisfy me." No pleading, just orders.

  This woman is beyond salvation!

  With a fierce push, Qilin fell weakly to the ground, her body constantly twisting and turning like a snake shedding its skin.

  "Uh? Ah." Rationality was completely lost, Qilin kept twisting her body, trying to find a bit of comfort on the cold ground, wanting to grab the person next to her, but couldn't reach no matter what.

  Like a volcano, from the lower abdomen all the way up, rushing to the throat.

  "Hmm"

  A mouthful of fresh blood suddenly spurted out, and her throat felt like it was on fire. At this moment, Qilin had lost the ability to speak, and her body began to feel a creeping, itching sensation, especially in the most vulnerable places for a woman, causing her hands to involuntarily slide downwards.

  "What a tough girl." He suddenly grabbed Qilin's hand, stopping her from further humiliation. His other hand pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him straight in the eye. However, when he touched her body, he was still startled by her scorching body temperature - how could it be so hot? What surprised him even more was that Qilin still had a thread of consciousness left, whereas an ordinary woman would have long since given up and resigned herself to her fate.

  Covering her scorching lips, she said with a smile "I'll satisfy you right away."

  Upon hearing this, Qilin let out a sigh of relief and no longer cared about her feminine reserve. She grasped the man's head with both hands and eagerly found those cool lips, covering them with her own.

  This time, Qilin had another dream. She dreamed that she turned into a fish and was swept away by the waves, crashing against the reefs. She could even see her body being torn apart into several small pieces, each piece suffering different impacts in different places.

  She had no idea how many times she'd experienced this feeling until she fell into a deep sleep.

  The man gently stroked Qilin's face, which was wet with sweat. Her body temperature had completely dropped, and she slightly raised the corner of her mouth. He picked up the towel soaked in bodily fluids and placed it in Qilin's hand, then tenderly covered her with the quilt. Getting up to dress, he glanced at the bamboo shadows outside the window. Just as he pushed open the door, he met Zi Yu's face with a mischievous grin.

  "Is that all?" Zi Yun teased, but on the man's face, there was not a single trace of anything, it was too clean, as if nothing had happened at all.

  The man gently closed the door, walked to Ziyu's front, took over the wine pot in Ziyu's hand, and drank a big mouthful with his head raised. The icy wine entered his abdomen, and only then did he lower the remaining temperature on his body.

  Beautiful woman is really fierce, not only will the person who drinks it greatly increase, but even men who come into contact with women will be infected. If he didn't have a good hold on himself, he might have ruined Qilin.

  Wiping away the wine stain from the corner of his mouth, the man raised an eyebrow and said, "Faster than I expected."

  Upon hearing this, Ziyuan smiled secretly and glanced at the horizon, where a fish-belly white color had already begun to emerge, indicating that dawn was about to break. However... Ziyuan mysteriously smiled at the man and said, "This woman has actually made you so infatuated, one day I'll try it out too? Let's see what's so captivating about her."

  As soon as the words fell, a chill killing intent came with the gentle breeze, Zi Yun was stunned, didn't expect such a fierce reaction.

  "She is mine, she is a human being and mine, even if you are her, you can't touch her." The man threw down a sentence and strode away.

  Zi Yun stroked his chin, pondering the killing intent he had just sensed. This was something that had never happened before. He glanced around the room and his interest in Qi Lin grew even stronger. Unfortunately, it seemed like this woman was off-limits to him.

  The next day, Zilin was awakened by the rumbling of her stomach.

  Opening her eyes to the strong light shining in from outside, Qilin rubbed her sleepy eyes and suddenly discovered that her whole body ached unbearably. It was only then that she realized what had happened last night, shocking her into sitting up abruptly.

  She looked around and found no one, then looked at her own body, which was perfectly dressed. Qilin tilted her head in confusion, wondering if last night had been just a dream. But could a dream be so realistic?

  Maybe, maybe it's just too much pressure lately. In the past, whenever she was under a lot of stress, she would have some weird dreams, but this time she actually had an embarrassing dream.

  Stretching and yawning, stretching out the muscles and bones, but the soreness in the body became more pronounced. Just as I was about to massage my shoulders, Yu Mu came in.

  "Awake?" Hearing Zilin's movements, he faintly said "Did you sleep well last night?"

  Uh? Qilin was taken aback, feeling guilty and lowering her head. She didn't seem to have slept well last night. Getting out of bed, she walked behind Yu Mu and pushed him forward, but caught a whiff of faint alcohol scent, and asked in puzzlement "You didn't come back last night?"

  Moreover, today, neither Wisteria nor Wheat were seen. Qilin looked outside curiously and it seemed that those two people were not there either. I wonder if someone had taken a liking to them and brought them home? Wow, if that's really the case, I don't know what kind of scene it would be. Qilin secretly smiled to herself with a mischievous grin.

  "Ah Chu."

  Lonicera and Mai Dong simultaneously let out a big sneeze towards the sky, rubbed their noses, and Mai Dong said first "It's true, seems like we've caught a cold."

  Ling Dong said nothing for a moment, then opened his mouth and said "Maybe it's Ah Xue who is thinking of us."

  As soon as he heard Qilin, Mai Dong immediately came to his senses, his eyes shining brightly. He rubbed his nose again and listened to the rumor that sneezing was caused by someone mentioning it. If that were true, then a few more would be fine. However, no matter how hard he rubbed his nose, he just couldn't sneeze.

  "Last night, I was summoned by the king and stayed overnight."

  "Oh, you stayed overnight, huh?" Qilin nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more questions. She pushed the wooden chair to the side of the desk and poured a cup of tea for Yu Mu. "I'll go wash my face first," she said.

  Seeing the nod of approval from Yu Mu, Qi Lin dragged her sore body out of the room.

  Just after finishing dressing up, she planned to ask Yu Mu about the Hundred Flowers Blooming event, but as soon as she walked to the door, she accidentally stepped on her skirt and Qi Lin fell flat on her face.

  Silk

  Struggling to get up with a painful expression, the handkerchief in his arms accidentally fell off, and when he picked it up casually, he caught a glimpse of the faint lip print on it.

  This lip print was like a bolt from the blue, my mind went blank, I quickly got up and ran to the bed, lifted the quilt to search carefully, the bed was spotless, nothing was there, no, it couldn't be, I ran to the mirror and gently opened my collar.

  When she saw the big and small marks on her collarbone, she finally understood that last night was not a dream. That person had been there, and once again he had taken everything from her, leaving without even a goodbye. She didn't even know what he looked like, didn't know his name, and didn't know where he came from.

  And every time it's out of one's control.

  "What's going on?" asked Yu Mu, puzzled by Qilin's rapid breathing.

  Qilin suddenly turned around, looked at Yu Mu, and hastily denied "Nothing, nothing."

  Is it? A faint smile, continue drinking tea.
