Du Gu Luanyue always turned her back to him.
"Huowei, don't go too far. I just don't like to serve others, okay?
Besides, I came to Danyang City on urgent business. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Huowei turned his head away and said calmly, "Then go."
She lifted her feet and was about to leave. But when she reached the tent door, she backed back and started silently bandaging his wound.
She had never seen Murong Min naked. But now she had a clear view of Huowei's bare, well - muscled body.
His tall and straight figure was well - defined with muscles.
The eight distinct abdominal muscles lay flat and firm against his waist.
With the powerful beauty of a wild beast, he was so sexy and alluring that Du Gu Luanyue's face burned as if on fire.
A sly smile appeared on Huowei's cold, handsome face. He slightly raised his deep phoenix eyes.
"Why sneak glances? Look at me openly and feast your eyes."
Murong Min, who sat for a long time all year round and lived a pampered life, surely couldn't compare with him in terms of figure.
Not to mention Sheng Yunqi, who looked so frail.
He was confident, dissolute, and utterly bottom - less.
Du Gu Luanyue's palms felt hot. She wrapped the gauze around his waist and abdomen circle by circle, avoiding his eyes.
"Huowei, as the King of Yuzhang, aren't you ashamed to seduce women?"
Huowei let out a soft laugh. He hooked her chin with his finger and tilted her face towards his, saying hoarsely,
"How many times have you tempted me before? Have you forgotten?"
She glanced at her chin. When winding the gauze, her hand accidentally touched the soft part three inches below Huowei's abdomen. To her surprise, it quickly changed.
In the not - so - bright room, the air was filled with a warm and humid atmosphere.
Du Gu Luanyue held her breath and suddenly widened her eyes. "Huowei, you, you!"
She got flustered and noticed that Huowei was burning all over, as if his blood had been ignited.
"Huowei, what on earth are you thinking about? I came here on serious business!"
Huowei shifted his body uncomfortably. Wild desire welled up in his inky black eyes.
He licked his dry lips. His voice was lazy. He leaned against the bed, struggling to control himself. His Adam's apple rolled several times.
"Some things don't need to be thought about. They just happen naturally. Understand?"
He glanced down with his black eyes and then gave a naughty smile.
Du Gu Luanyue didn't know why, but Huowei had changed significantly this time she saw him.
In the past, she had to deliberately flirt with him to ignite the suppressed passion in him.
But today, Huowei seemed to have lost all self - restraint and became more and more presumptuous towards her.
Especially the sharp, predatory light in his black eyes was so obvious that she could tell at a glance.
After Du Gu Luanyue finished wrapping the gauze, she quickly pulled the quilt over him. She took a deep breath and asked,
"How did you get injured?"
Huowei averted his eyes and replied, "After I entered the city to investigate, my identity was accidentally revealed, and I was attacked by the common people.
They were just ordinary people, so I didn't kill them. I just blocked their attacks. But unexpectedly, there were killers among them. I got injured before I could notice.
It was a rather dangerous wound. I almost became a eunuch. You would definitely blame me later.
But it's okay. I'll be more careful next time. I'd rather break my hands or feet than let this part get hurt."
Du Gu Luanyue gritted her teeth. "Do you have to mention that in every sentence?"
Huowei smiled faintly. "The sages once said that appetite and lust are natural instincts. It's human nature. You don't need to be so shy. You'll get used to it after hearing it a few more times."
Du Gu Luanyue had a headache. Had Huowei opened some kind of valve after leaving the palace?
After not seeing him for a month, he was spouting more and more flirtatious remarks, which made people blush.
Aunt Meijiang whispered outside the tent, "Your Majesty, would you and the King like to have dinner? This old servant will serve it to you."
Hearing someone coming, Du Gu Luanyue quickly said, "Aunt, come in quickly and serve it!"
Aunt Meijiang carried a wooden tray with four dishes and one soup on it.
But when she walked in, her face dropped. She saw the blood on Du Gu Luanyue's hands and her rolled - up sleeves. What did this King of Yuzhang mean by making her Majesty serve him like a maid?
It was so infuriating!
Huowei said coldly, "Old maid, put the food down and leave first."
Aunt Meijiang said politely, "Let this old servant serve the King for dinner."
Huowei said, "Leave."
Aunt Meijiang shut up and silently backed out.
Du Gu Luanyue got up, washed her hands, and walked in. She already understood what Huowei meant.
She picked up the bowl, scooped the dishes into it with a spoon, and then fed him mouthful by mouthful.
Huowei smiled. "If I get more seriously injured next time, will you take care of me like this?"
Du Gu Luanyue slapped his mouth. "Eat your food. If you say one more unpleasant word, do you believe I'll slap you?"
Huowei immediately leaned his face over. "Come on, try it."
With his cheeky, rascally, and flirtatious smile, Du Gu Luanyue really wanted to slap him.
At this moment, Du Gu Luanyue suddenly woke up. What was wrong with her?
Huowei had clearly made many unreasonable demands and kept pestering her. Why had she silently agreed to them all?
The spoon in Du Gu Luanyue's hand paused in mid - air. She hesitated. She had never taken care of anyone in her life.
Huowei said impatiently, "Come closer. I can't reach."
A look of panic flashed across Du Gu Luanyue's face. Her heart was in turmoil. She didn't understand what was wrong with her.
In the past, Sheng Yunqi had always taken care of her like an elder brother, and she had thought it was natural. In her memory, she had never treated Sheng Yunqi like this.
Why was she giving in to Huowei? Why was she spoiling him?
"Huowei, stop being so naughty. I'm still waiting for your report on the plague in Danyang City!" She frowned.
Huowei's expression turned cold. His tone was a bit overbearing.
"The situation in Danyang City is more complicated than you think. Stay in Xianyun Mountain for a few days to go through the motions. Then I'll send someone to escort you back."
Du Gu Luanyue put down the bowl and said coldly, "I'm here by the imperial order. Do you think I'm here for fun?"
Huowei asked, "Did you come here for the Southern Chu or for something else?"
Du Gu Luanyue got up, walked to the table, poured herself a cup of cold tea, and took a few sips. "Naturally, it's for the Southern Chu and also for the Northern Yan. After all, I'm..."
Huowei interrupted her. He pulled the quilt and closed his eyes. "Get out. If you have nothing nice to say, don't pour rubbish into my ears."
She came over and sat on the bedside, coaxing Huowei.
"Master Shen sent a secret letter saying that you were missing. I was extremely worried. I thought about ways all night but still felt uneasy.
I had to come here to see you myself. Huowei, if it's not for you, then for whom?"
Huowei moved slightly on the bed. He didn't know what Du Gu Luanyue was thinking at the moment, but he knew what Murong Min was thinking.
His cold, long fingers held her wrist. His black eyes met her glittering jade - like eyes.
