Chapter 111: Trial (Part 2)

  Trials (Part 2)

  In the air, a faint voice suddenly floated over, "No wonder the elders always said that 'Mei' has something on her body that is most incompatible with Qing Jing Tian. [Ye Zi] [You You]"

  Gu Huanli was taken aback, suddenly turning her head back. The hazy moonlight was shrouded in mist and fog, with faint shadows floating on the ground, densely intertwined and overlapping, weaving a dense blackness. "Night?"

  "What do you think?"

  Before the words had even faded, Gu Huan Lian had already heard a rustling sound by her ear. Without thinking, she shifted her body slightly and prepared to counterattack with a front kick, but unfortunately, those wretched Twelve Singles robes hindered her from doing so. She stumbled almost falling over, yet was caught around the waist by someone who pulled her back.

  At this moment, it is as quiet as dead water, but it is exactly when the clouds disperse and the fog clears.

  "Night" Gu Huanli's eyebrows slightly furrowed, then she glared at him with a thin layer of anger.

  His black cheongsam made him look elegant and refined, but in this traditional Japanese room, he seemed like a phantom from another era. He saw the displeasure in Gu Huanli's eyes and let out a snicker. Without paying her any mind, he walked out of the room and sat down on the corridor, where a food box had been placed beside him at some unknown time.

  He brought out dish after dish of exquisite small dishes, a white wine jug as smooth as jade and two sky-blue wine cups. He filled the two wine cups to the brim, took one with a smile and handed it to Gu Huan Lian.

  Gu Huanli knelt down beside him, took the wine cup, and lightly sniffed it with her nose. It was actually "Pu Xia Chan". She let out a soft sigh, tilted her head back to gaze at the eight-layered cherry blossoms above her, which looked like clouds and snow, and savored this tranquility.

  "Don't you like it?" Ye asked softly, looking at her as she had never lightly sipped or tasted before.

  "Brother doesn't allow me to drink in front of anyone except him," Gu Huanli replied.

  He turned his head and looked at her, raising an eyebrow, "You still obediently follow such unreasonable orders?"

  Gu Huanli smiled faintly, "Minors are not allowed to drink. Is this reason enough for you?"

  He lowered his head at night, seemingly deep in thought, with a mocking smile hanging on the edge of his lips. After a long time, he slowly said, "It seems that to make you a true 'Mei', the most important thing to do is to get rid of your brother, this obstacle."

  Gu Huanli looked at him, and under the catalysis of alcohol, the scars on his face showed a seductive red color, as if they were twisting like a living red snake. She said slowly, "Then why not go and amend the law? Maybe that would make many people applaud. As for my brother, whether I can or cannot take on the role of 'Mei' has nothing to do with him. So, even if I die, I hope he is still alive."

  "Is that so?" Night's eyes gazed deeply at her, with a firmness and strength in his icy eyes that Gu Huanlin had never seen before. He spoke word by word, "Now, prove it to me."

  "I'm tired." Gu Huan Lian said with a weighty tone, she straightened her body to avoid Ye's gaze that was like burning flames. "Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I will make Tian Gong Lian willing to cooperate with the organization."

  "Are you still sulking with me because of Lan's matter?" Ye's expression was extremely displeased, he reached out to grab Gu Huan Lian's sleeve and directly pulled her into his arms. "Little wild cat, didn't the Ninth Phoenix Elder tell you that you absolutely cannot ignore a man's jealous psychology?"

  "Does this have anything to do with the superior?" Gu Huanli looked at him coldly, absolutely not showing weakness. Showing weakness would mean losing. Losing would mean being thrown into Alashan or Afghanistan again, and only after being skinned alive could he return.

  "What do you think?" The deep, dark eyes gazed at her coldly, with a charming smile hanging on his lips that were moistened by the clear wine. The intoxicating aroma of the wine and the ambiguous fragrance lingered under Gu Huan's nose. This was the enchanting and strange scent she had smelled countless times as Liu Yue, unable to tell whether it was because her six senses as a spiritual being were too strong, or if this feeling was brought into her body by her soul, but she always wanted to avoid this scent from afar.

  "This should be the answer to my question, right?" Gu Huanli felt Ye's hand covering her neck, his long and cold fingers lightly tracing over her skin, making her tense up in fear that Ye might suddenly snap her neck.

  "Uncomfortable?" The night seemed to sense her slight trembling and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

  "No... nothing, I'm fine." Watching him finally release himself, Gu Huanli let out a long sigh and stood up, wanting to take a few steps back before turning around to leave. However, she forgot that she was wearing the 12th layer of her traditional clothing, and taking a step back would mean stepping on her own hem, which in turn meant that she would inevitably trip and fall into a mess.

  It just so happened that, at the critical moment when she might have unfortunately experienced a concussion, she was once again caught around the waist by Ye Hua's sudden rise to his feet. Only this time, the two bodies were too close, so close that Gu Menglu felt something amiss about Ye Hua's body the instant their limbs touched.

  The girl in his arms seemed to freeze for an instant, her eyes narrowing slightly, her thin lips carrying a intoxicating aura, like feathers lightly sweeping against Gu Huan's ear. "My little wild cat, this time, are you scared?"

  Listening to his slightly hoarse voice, Gu Huanli's heart skipped a beat. She hastily replied, "Yes, I'm very scared, are you satisfied now?"

  Upon hearing Gu Huan Lian's response, Ye Xie smiled wickedly, his tongue wandering to her earlobe, gently nibbling on it. "Such submission, I'm both surprised and pleased."

  "You might as well go raise a pet." Gu Huan Lian furrowed her brow, wanting to escape but was tightly held in Ye's arms, and could only helplessly let him tease her.

  She felt that Gu Huanli had trembled like a withered leaf in the autumn wind, and Ye Manyi left her earlobe with satisfaction. With a forceful pull, the intricate twelve singles slid off her shoulders, revealing crystal white skin. Her plump and round shoulders still belonged to a young girl's tenderness, and there was even a faint sweet fragrance lingering in the air.

  He had known from a long time ago that Gu Huan Lian's body would never grow up. She would forever maintain the appearance of a young girl, the tenderness of a young girl, and the delicate beauty of a young girl. Although it was not yet apparent now, the experimental results had already proven his expectations, so he waited patiently for her to grow up. However, he had never thought that the immature body hidden under the kimono would be slightly ** and already be seductive and charming, whether it was tactile, taste, smell or vision, all greatly stirred him, as long as he used a bit more force, he could completely unwrap this exquisite gift's packaging. At this moment, he felt that all the blood in his body was surging towards his lower body's erection.

  It's no wonder that Yu Yi said, Gu Huan Lian as a "Mei" is the only perfect one. Even if it were an immature little girl, she could easily provoke his interest, even though he was the master of the Tian Li Heaven, and even though he had seen countless women with different charms.

  It was precisely because of this sudden realization that the night became somewhat hesitant.

  Gu Huanli felt the hand lingering on her shoulder blade seemed to have paused, and she didn't hesitate to raise her knee to hit the man's weakest spot.

  "Hey, hey," he said with a quick grasp of her knee, his eyes gleaming with sly light, half-teasing and half-serious, "This isn't the kind of elegant behavior that's befitting of a renowned lady like you."

  "Was everything you did just now the behavior of a superior being?" Gu Huan Lian tried to ignore the strange feeling in her heart, she coldly laughed and borrowed strength to make a left-footed flying kick towards Ye's head.

  He flashed a smile, his dark eyes gazing at her with an impenetrable intensity. "Little wildcat, don't you know that the more you resist, the more it arouses a man's desire to conquer?"

  Take a few steps back, Gu Huanli said coldly, "That's your business." However, her hands were shaking so badly that she struggled for half a day to barely tidy up a single garment.

  "Is it?" Night narrowed his eyes dangerously and took a step closer to her.

  Gu Huanli instinctively felt that things were going in a bad direction, and she didn't care about anything else, directly turning around to escape.

  "Adorable little stray cat, where are you planning to escape to?"

  The warm breath exhaled at night sprayed on her neck, Gu Huanli stabilized her mind and quietly looked at the man in front of her who held her two wrists fixed on top of her head, leaning forward to gaze at her, "Wherever you come from, naturally return to wherever."

  "Hmm." Soft jade in his arms, tender tears by his side, but he couldn't immediately ravage this little fire spirit. Ye lowered his head, nibbling and biting at Gu Huanli's delicate neck, leaving red marks on her collarbone. "Isn't Shansen City not your home?"

  "This is what you said, I've never thought so" Gu Huanli struggled to escape, but her swaying body made the night's eyes darken a few more times.

  "Do you still remember our bet?" Ye whispered in Gu Huan Lian's ear, his voice as gentle as the devil's whisper, each word was enchanting and made her mind dazed.

  "I remember."

  "If you can hit me within ten moves, including the hem of my clothes, then you pass and I will also send someone to protect your brother. But if you lose...” Yexing opened his hand, took a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, turned around with a sly smile on his face, "You'll have to call me Emperor in front of all the elders, not Ye or Zunshang."

  "Is that... it?" Gu Huan Lian slightly furrowed her brow, and after a long while, she nodded, as if in promise. Watching the figure of Ye Yi's night clothes fluttering and drifting further away, gazing at the remaining wine under the corridor, she knelt down again, her fingertips touching the cold wine liquid, writing something stroke by stroke on the floor. After finishing, she drew a cross on her chest, clasped her hands together, and silently prayed.

  A moment later, a white light appeared in front of Gu Huan Lian. A man wearing a Kaffiyeh and looking dusty carried a plate of hand-grabbed rice that had just been made. He put the rice heavily on the corridor, completely disregarding whether it would attract attention from others.

  Gu Huan Lian stared at the familiar figure dressed in Arabic attire, especially the thick headband and fluttering ribbons on his head, which made his bright blue eyes appear even more free-spirited. "Cassidy... have you converted to Islam?"
