"Oh, you're right. You've only seen my true form and haven't really seen my face yet." Yan Yijue crouched down on the ground, stretched out his hand and firmly immobilized Li Nao, who was about to flee. Then, with a casual and intrigued look in his eyes, he swept over this face.
He deliberately asked, "Do you want to know who I am?"
"I don't care who you are. Let me go first!" At this moment, Li Nao felt like he was nailed to a cross, always having a feeling of being at the mercy of others.
Moreover, this charming man in front of him, whether it was because of his beauty that didn't seem of this mortal world or his overly pale complexion, the smile on his face always looked so eerie and sinister that it made one's hair stand on end.
Out of panic, his forehead was covered in dense cold sweat, which kept sliding down his temples until it reached his bobbing Adam's apple.
"Tsk tsk. The game has just started. Why are you in such a hurry?" Yan Yijue casually admired his own beautiful hands, and from time to time, his eerie gaze would also glance over this thin body, as if thinking about how to torture him.
"What on earth do you want to do!" This cold look in his eyes made Li Nao feel as if ants were crawling all over his body, causing an unbearable itch and pain.
It was also like a blood - thirsty devil that would devour him at any moment, leaving no bones behind.
He was naturally timid, and now fear filled his nerves. The muscles on his face twitched, and he couldn't bear this sinister look, so he shouted loudly:
"Who the hell are you? Untie me quickly, or I'll make you pay!"
"You're really so noisy." Yan Yijue frowned slightly as if in disgust, but with this action, Li Nao, who had been shouting just now, immediately fell silent.
"Um..." It was as if something had blocked his throat. Li Nao found that he couldn't speak anymore and could only make a muffled sound with a look of confusion.
"You were too noisy, so I sealed your speech. It's all your own doing."
"Um..." Li Nao's panic grew stronger. He could only struggle uselessly, but in Yan Yijue's eyes, this was the most satisfying reaction.
Suddenly, Yan Yijue turned his head and looked at Long Mo, who was looking worried. He saw Long Mo holding Shu Yue in his arms, and there was nothing but worry and distress in his lowered eyes.
He couldn't help but sigh. So the Dragon King, who used to be indifferent to the worldly affairs and emotions, would now shed tears for a mortal.
How pitiful! How sad!
"Long Mo, it's your turn now. How do you want to punish him?"
Long Mo just casually glanced at Li Nao, who was struggling desperately. With an air of superiority and ice - cold indifference, he said, "I'm taking Shu Yue back now. I'll leave him to you. Just don't torture him to death."
"Wait. I'll go with you." Yan Yijue restrained his playful mood. He just said to Li Nao with a slight tinge of regret, "I'm really sorry. I originally wanted to play with you for a while longer, but time is limited, so I won't waste any more words on you."
In Li Nao's terrified expression, the arc on Yan Yijue's lips became even more wild and demonic until it reached his cheeks.
And from his wide sleeves, colorful snakes gradually wriggled out along his wrists. Their heads were all triangular, and each one was extremely venomous, but their colors were so beautiful and mysterious.
One after another, each snake coiled its body and crawled onto the ground. Its soft and cold body rubbed against the ground, and from time to time, it made a hissing sound that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Um..." Seeing these colorful venomous snakes crawling towards him, Li Nao's eyes widened in fear. He was so terrified that his pupils dilated and constricted, and his eyes almost popped out.
At this moment, he seemed to have already seen the gates of hell. He looked at these venomous snakes that made his scalp tingle, their sharp fangs, their red tongues, the saliva they drooled, and their cruel looks, all of which seemed to be ready to skin him alive and eat him up without leaving a single bone.
Yan Yijue waved his hand, completely ignoring the struggling mortal. He calmly left a sentence and then disappeared from the room with Long Mo.
"I don't have time now. I'll let my snake descendants entertain you first."
These colorful venomous snakes seemed to understand Yan Yijue's words. They wriggled their cold bodies even more vigorously and crawled towards Li Nao's body one by one...
According to the plan with Shu Yao, Yan Yijue met him outside. Because Shu Yao said it was not suitable to stay in Kunshan for the time being, they could only take Shu Yue back to the tree - house for the time being.
When they met, Shu Yao was naturally surprised by Long Mo's appearance. And it seemed that Long Mo had no intention of handing Shu Yue over to him. He still held Shu Yue tightly and refused to let go.
Finally, Long Mo insisted on going to the tree - house with them, on the grounds that he could heal Shu Yue's injuries.
Helplessly, Shu Yao had no choice but to agree. He thanked Yan Yijue, but unexpectedly, he just got a casual reply: "Remember this favor. I'll come to collect it another day."
"Didn't you say you were helping me sincerely?" Shu Yao should have known earlier that this Snake Lord would not do such a thing for free so easily.
"But I never said I'd do it for free." His heavily - featured face always exuded an air of charm. The corners of his upturned eyes were still as casually wanton and alluring as ever.
His perfect lips always carried an air of unruly arrogance, but the meaning behind each smile was different.
Shu Yue had already cursed him a million times in his heart as a scoundrel in his heart. Before he could say it out, he saw this man only leave behind a meaningful smile and then disappear.
When he returned to the inner room, he saw Long Mo concentrating on healing Shu Yue's injuries. He didn't want to disturb them and just quietly watched from the side.
At the same time, he also noticed that Long Mo's eyes were so gentle when he was healing that it made one's heart ache. His tightly - knitted eyebrows clearly showed his pain and pity for Shu Yue.
He was healing with one hand and tightly holding Shu Yao's wrist with the other. He was completely focused on Shu Yue and never distracted for a moment.
All the indescribable emotions were in those beautiful eyes. Shu Yao suddenly felt that he was a bit redundant.
Just as he was about to quietly leave the room, he heard a calm and deep voice faintly echoing: "It's okay. He's fine now."
"Thank you." Shu Yao first looked at Shu Yue lying on the couch. Seeing that his complexion had improved a lot, he felt relieved.
For a moment, the air fell into a suffocating silence. They were both silent and didn't know what to say.
"Well, I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first. Take good care of him." Knowing that he was an outsider between Shu Yao and Shu Yue after all, he didn't want to stay here in this awkward atmosphere.
"Long Mo, please wait."
Long Mo stopped in his tracks and asked, "What else?"
Shu Yao first lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while. Finally, he couldn't help but ask carefully from the bottom of his heart, "I'm really curious. Why are you so concerned about him?"
He asked very tactfully. After all, they were both men. If he directly asked if Long Mo liked Shu Yue, it would be too embarrassing.
"Do you really want to know the answer?"
