Although the temperature in his eyes had dropped to below zero, Sheng Jiu still walked down the steps unhurriedly, speaking in a tone as if chatting idly.
"Why did you return the imperial edict again? Is it that you're not satisfied, my concubine?"
Concubine Ruan paced out in a red gossamer dress, standing beside Sheng Jiu and looking at Wanwan with a hint of disdain on her face.
Wanwan frowned. The usual gentleness in his eyes had completely faded away, and his expression took on a hint of coldness. "Sheng Jiu, I'm not your concubine."
After saying that, his eyes quickly swept over the woman beside him.
Hearing his strong rejection, Concubine Ruan curled her lips into a sneering smile. "Do you think you can be the emperor's concubine just because you want to?"
"Get out!"
Concubine Ruan thought it was Sheng Jiu telling her to get out. She even smiled smugly at Wanwan. "The emperor has told you to get out. Why are you still lingering here?"
Sheng Jiu turned his head and glared at her disgustedly. "I'm telling you to get out..."
The woman's expression froze for a moment. She quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. "Your Majesty, I don't know what mistake I've made. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
Sheng Jiu said indifferently, "Drag her out and bestow death upon her."
Ming Lang slowly raised his eyes and then softly replied, "Yes."
Ming Lang raised his palm. Two black - clothed men suddenly appeared out of nowhere. After receiving his order, they quickly dragged the woman out.
The woman howled unwillingly.
"Your Majesty, what mistake have I made?! What mistake have I made?! Your Majesty!!! Your Majesty!!!"
The shrill voice cut through the long night in the deep palace.
Sheng Jiu frowned impatiently. After the voice disappeared, he slowly walked towards Wanwan, reached out his hand and knocked the imperial edict out of his hand. The moment the imperial edict fell to the ground, he stretched out his palm to encircle his waist. With a slight force, their bodies were pressed together.
His movement was so fast that Wanwan didn't have time to react. When their bodies were pressed together, he looked up at the person in front of him in panic.
Sheng Jiu seemed to have drunk some wine. It was only when they were so close that Wanwan smelled it.
Wanwan still remembered what had happened the last time Sheng Jiu got drunk. For a moment, he didn't dare to say a word. The little bit of aura he had just mustered vanished into thin air.
Sheng Jiu looked at him with hazy eyes and said hoarsely, "Do you remember how long it's been since we last saw each other?"
Wanwan slowly blinked his eyes. He didn't have much of a concept of time. He felt that it had indeed been a while since they last met.
Sheng Jiu rubbed his cheek against Wanwan's gently, suppressing a sigh in his throat. "Do you miss me?"
Wanwan stiffened in his embrace and didn't say a word. He always felt that the body in his arms seemed to have lost some weight, but he didn't dare to ask.
Sheng Jiu held his cheeks and gently wiped the corner of his eye with his thumb. He softened his voice. "I originally kept her alive to teach you some things."
He paused for a moment. Looking at Wanwan's innocent eyes, he slowly said, "But I don't think it's necessary now. I think it would be more interesting for me to teach you myself."
Sheng Jiu encircled his waist and carried him on his shoulder. Wanwan was startled by his action and quickly grabbed his shoulder to steady his body.
Sheng Jiu carried him all the way into the sleeping chamber. Wanwan turned his eyes to look around the palace in front of him. He found that red curtains were hanging everywhere in the palace. The wind they brought in made all the red curtains flutter.
Wanwan immediately saw the pool in the center. He never expected that Sheng Jiu had even built a pool in this palace.
He didn't dare to ask or think about who this pool was built for. He just grabbed his shoulder more tightly, fearing that he would throw him into the water like he did with that woman last time.
Sheng Jiu felt his body stiffen a little and smiled gently. "Why are you so scared? I'm not going to eat you."
After saying that, he gently threw him onto the couch. Wanwan's body instinctively trembled. He then found that the couch was very soft.
But thinking about Sheng Jiu and that woman making love on this couch, he felt nauseous. He grabbed the hem of his clothes and stood up to leave. Sheng Jiu pressed him firmly on the couch. "I haven't even done anything yet, and you're leaving?"
After saying that, he reached out and took off his cloak. He blew a puff of wine - scented breath at him and smiled. "You forgot what I just said. I said I'm going to teach you... Don't be in a hurry. There's a lot for you to learn. I'll teach you one thing at a time and open up a new world for you."
Wanwan reached out and pushed his shoulder, saying coldly, "Sheng Jiu, you're drunk. Let me go."
Sheng Jiu didn't loosen his grip on his arm. Wanwan frowned and struggled hard. "Sheng Jiu, you're drunk. Do you hear me? Let me go!"
"Um..."
Taking advantage of the moment when he was speaking, Sheng Jiu kissed his lips. His fingers deftly undid his clothes and moved all the way up. This time, he clearly intended to carry things through to the end, because each of his actions was highly purposeful, leaving him no chance or room to react.
Only then did Wanwan understand that he had no other choice under such absolute strength.
Soon, his clothes were completely taken off. He was pushed down on the couch, and his blue hair spread all over the bed. With his clear eyes and fair skin, Wanwan looked like an elf in the dark night.
Sheng Jiu didn't know if it was because of arousal or something else, but Wanwan's body had already turned pink, looking extremely alluring.
Wanwan wanted to grab the quilt beside him to cover himself, but was stopped. Sheng Jiu didn't have much clothing on to begin with. After this commotion, a large part of his chest was already exposed.
He held Wanwan's wrist and let his palm gently rest on his chest. Wanwan felt the strong beating of his heart in his palm and for a moment forgot to struggle.
Sheng Jiu softly comforted him. "Don't worry. She never slept in this bed. When I sleep here, she usually stays below. You can rest assured... Wanwan, I haven't touched her. I've always been thinking about you in my heart."
He murmured to himself. Remembering something, his tone became a bit lower. "I've always been thinking about you, but who have you been thinking about..."
Wanwan was stunned. It turned out that Sheng Jiu had never let go of what had happened some time ago. During the time when they didn't see each other, he had buried this matter in his heart and hidden his violence.
This matter had been fermenting slowly in his heart. Now... he had gone crazy.
