Hou Danxue smiled with satisfaction as she held the scissors. She took Wu Ming’s hand, led her to the bed, and pushed her down onto it.
She pressed down while holding the scissors. As the sharp metal glided over her skin, Wu Ming’s senses became exceptionally sharp. She suppressed her instinct to counter-attack, allowing Hou Danxue to do as she pleased.
Hou Danxue cut the dress into shredded strips. She bunched the fabric in her hands, admiring her handiwork with satisfaction.
“Head of House, you can pull them off me now.”
But Hou Danxue wouldn’t listen to Wu Ming. “No, I haven’t played enough yet.”
She leaned down and kissed her. Her kisses fell between the strips of fabric, and her hands darted in and out of the shredded edges.
Wu Ming couldn’t take this. With a roll, she reversed their positions.
Being on top felt much better.
But Hou Danxue was dissatisfied.
She stopped her movements and stared at Wu Ming gloomily.
“I want to be on top.”
Wu Ming had no choice but to roll over again, letting Hou Danxue take the superior position.
She was simply being tender toward Hou Danxue.
Hou Danxue had been tossed around by her too many times and hadn’t had enough rest. If she kept playing like this, she would lose her wife!
Once this period passed, she would make Hou Danxue pay it back!
Hou Danxue didn’t know what Wu Ming was thinking. She simply thought her “authority” as Head of House was working, making Wu Ming follow her every whim.
She continued her play, showing no rush at all, her movements meticulous and slow.
Wu Ming was forced to endure a long, agonizing torture. Every move Hou Danxue made caused her heart to itch, yet she was the only one in a hurry while the other person was unhurried, savoring her piece by piece.
“Head of House…”
Wu Ming couldn’t help but urge her.
“I’m here.”
“Can you go a bit faster…”
“Am I making you uncomfortable?”
It wasn’t that it was uncomfortable; it was that it was too comfortable, which in turn made it unbearable.
Wu Ming felt stifled. Her lowered hands rose up, unconsciously grabbing and kneading Hou Danxue.
Hou Danxue let out a muffled groan and slumped weakly against Wu Ming’s body. She looked up at Wu Ming, who had a perfectly innocent expression.
Hmph, this one isn’t honest at all!
Hou Danxue stood up, and Wu Ming followed suit.
“Head of House, you’re not continuing?”
“I am, but first, I need to find something.”
Hou Danxue rummaged through several chests before finding what she was looking for.
She held up a bunch of red silk and smiled at Wu Ming: “Stand still for me.”
Wu Ming knew exactly what she wanted to play the moment she saw the item. However, even iron chains couldn’t hold her—did Hou Danxue really believe in such fragile red silk?
She could easily tear through clothing made of red silk, embroidery, and decorations, let alone the silk itself.
“Head of House, this isn’t strong. It won’t hold me.”
“Of course it won’t hold you!” To hold you, one would need chains made of the strongest metal.
Ignoring her, Hou Danxue unfurled the red silk. She grabbed one end and tied it around Wu Ming’s wrist before winding it around her body.
As Wu Ming moved, many of the shredded rags on her body had fallen off. Now, Hou Danxue was using the red silk to secure the remaining strips.
Yes, this outfit looked very strange—very improper.
Wu Ming shifted slightly, and cracks began to spread through the fragile red silk.
“Don’t move!”
How could she not move! It was impossible to resist!
“Head of House, the quality of this silk is no good!”
“Do you want me to go find an iron chain right now?”
Wu Ming’s dissatisfaction vanished instantly.
She could tell the difference between which was more comfortable to be bound by: iron chains or red silk.
Wu Ming could only keep her body stiff, maintaining the precarious red silk.
Hou Danxue satisfiedly pushed her down again. This time, Wu Ming could no longer make any small movements, and Hou Danxue could proceed with her games undisturbed.
Staying still for so long made Wu Ming’s body ache and stiffen, but Hou Danxue’s touch would ignite her body’s vitality, giving her brief moments of release.
Wu Ming didn’t find this very fun. If she were to use the same tactics on Hou Danxue, Hou Danxue would have thrown a fit long ago.
“Head of House, you must know when to stop your games.”
Hou Danxue detected the hint of threat in Wu Ming’s tone and gave her an unsatisfied little nip.
“I know.”
This fragile red silk couldn’t hold the beast beneath her; she could only let loose once she found the strongest chains in the world.
It didn’t matter. By using the full power of her family, it wouldn’t take long to achieve her wish.
When that time came, she would definitely lock her to the bed.
As for whether Wu Ming would get angry enough to hurt her… they were married lovers, would she have the heart to?
Even if she did, since Wu Ming didn’t kill women, her own fragile body would probably be killed by a mere fraction of Wu Ming’s strength. She had to be careful.
“Ha—”
Thinking of that scene, Hou Danxue couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Wu Ming had no idea what she was laughing at, but she was sure it wasn’t anything good for her, because Hou Danxue’s eyes were sparkling as she laughed.
She was fantasizing about that kind of thing.
Wu Ming was somewhat speechless. She didn’t understand why Hou Danxue would be fantasizing while they were already doing it.
Was it because Wu Ming was incompetent? Failing to provide the results she wanted, so she could only achieve them in her fantasies?
Wu Ming’s gaze suddenly became full of pity.
Fortunately, fortunately, she was a martial artist and wouldn’t be incompetent in such matters.
Hou Danxue pushed aside the shredded fabric. Because of Wu Ming’s urging, her goal was clear. Her body curved downward, her hands braced at Wu Ming’s sides as she explored further down.
All of Wu Ming’s thoughts were scattered by intense emotions. Her mind went blank.
This time there were no tools; Hou Danxue used the same method Wu Ming had used on her the night before.
Wu Ming had been deliberately suppressing herself, but she still accidentally tore the red silk. Along with the sound of the silk ripping, she also let out a cry.
Hou Danxue was beyond satisfied. She had finally made Wu Ming show the expression she wanted to see.
After their play, she got serious and chose a dress that truly suited Wu Ming.
Dressed in this, Wu Ming looked like an unapproachable female warrior—if her eyes weren’t still glistening with a watery haze as she looked at Hou Danxue.
“Head of House, you were doing it on purpose from the start!”
“So what? My wife… you should just spoil me…”
Wu Ming’s face flushed at the flirtatious words, and her words of condemnation died in her throat.
Hou Danxue pulled her outside and took a lap around the Hou Manor.
At first, the servants were shocked to see Wu Ming; some even cried out. Later, the news probably spread, and the people surrounding them were full of curiosity but no longer shocked.
Hou Danxue took Wu Ming to see Heng Xiangyan. It was clear that Heng Xiangyan had just received the news; though she didn’t show it on her face, her gaze toward Wu Ming was like she was seeing a ghost.
“Grandmother, we lied to you. She isn’t Xi Ni.”
Even if she wasn’t Xi Ni, so what?
They were already married. Could the marriage be voided just because she wasn’t Xi Ni?
Even if Heng Xiangyan wanted to void it, she wouldn’t dare. Standing before her were a granddaughter who could heartlessly kill her kin and a martial arts master who helped her granddaughter kill her kin. How could she dare oppose them!
“The identity is fake, but the love between you is real. I still give you, my blessing.”
Actually… actually?!
Wu Ming couldn’t believe it. Her identity was accepted just like that?
“However, for the sake of the Hou family’s future, you two should still have a child.”
They were two women—how could they have a child?
Wu Ming was confused. Did the person before her have some kind of secret technique?
“There’s no need for Grandmother to worry about that!”
Hou Danxue’s tone was sharp.
She pulled Wu Ming away to return, but she was called away halfway to handle family affairs.
By the time Hou Danxue finished her work, she learned of the stupid thing her “dear grandmother” had done. She rushed back to her courtyard.
“Where are they? Where are those people!”
“I drove them all away.”
“Drove them away? Heh, how is that enough? Kill them all!”
Her grandmother had actually sent men to her wife!!
Heh, even though she had known from the start that her grandmother coveted her wife’s bloodline, she still hadn’t guessed her grandmother would do something so absurd!
“They were probably forced into it, right…”
“Forced? Heh, they were clearly lured by profit! They aren’t innocent! We’ve been through so much, don’t tell me now that you like men!”
“How is that possible! My lady, I’ve been in the martial world; I’ve killed too many men. I have absolutely no feeling for men!”
Wu Ming grabbed Hou Danxue’s hand: “My lady, there is only you. The moment I see you, my heart flutters. My mind is full of you, and I just want to be close to you.”
