Originally, Jiang Xuan thought he had already grasped Xia Xiaoyu’s situation and was planning to coax her a little before sending her back to the Xia family.
However, after hearing Xia Xiaoyu’s voice, Jiang Xuan froze.
He remembered that this voice belonged to a different state of Xia Xiaoyu. She was much more troublesome than her normal self.
At this moment, Xia Xiaoyu slowly distanced herself from Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan noticed that Xia Xiaoyu’s golden eyes had already turned a bright crimson. As expected, his guess was right.
Before Jiang Xuan could speak, Xia Xiaoyu gently lifted his chin, speaking with soft affection, “Brother Xuan, your methods are really impressive. Not only did you take the recording stone, but you also completely fooled the other me. But I’m not as kind as her. Brother Xuan, you are not my fiancé, so I certainly won’t feel sorry for you. I’m simply greedy for your body.”
Jiang Xuan: !!!
“Xiaoyu, what do you mean by these words? I don’t quite understand…” Jiang Xuan said cautiously.
Xia Xiaoyu smiled sweetly, “It’s alright. Brother Xuan doesn’t need to understand. Let’s just say, since you took my recording stone, the deal has already been sealed. I won’t ask for it back. In exchange, Brother Xuan, you must properly satisfy my demands.”
“Xiaoyu, calm down. I don’t want such a deal. I… I’ll give the recording stone back to you,” Jiang Xuan said immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the recording stone and handed it over.
Xia Xiaoyu took the recording stone without hesitation, then turned around and pulled off Jiang Xuan’s shirt, lay down herself, and activated the recording stone.
Her smooth and fluid actions left Jiang Xuan utterly stunned.
“This isn’t right! Xia Xiaoyu! I clearly returned the recording stone to you. Why are you still doing this?” Jiang Xuan asked angrily.
Xia Xiaoyu smiled innocently, “Brother Xuan, don’t get so agitated. Since I let you keep the recording stone earlier, it’s normal to charge you a little fee, right? Besides, I’m a bad woman. It’s normal for bad women not to keep their promises. Oh, and Brother Xuan, you wouldn’t want the footage in this recording stone to be leaked, right? Especially the newest recordings just now.”
“But don’t worry. I’ll keep it very safe. If it does leak accidentally, at most, I’ll only show it to your fiancée. Hopefully, she’ll recognize the deep bond between childhood sweethearts. Of course, if she ends up disliking you because of it, then it only means she was never good enough for you. Rest assured, I’ll always stay by your side.”
Jiang Xuan: !!!
At this moment, Jiang Xuan internally screamed, “Xia Xiaoyu is truly racing toward self-destruction! And she’s dragging me along with her!”
Instead, the system space showed that the system was currently undergoing maintenance and upgrades.
Jiang Xuan had some expectation toward the system’s upgrade, but damn it, it really knew how to pick the worst timing!
On the other side, Xia Xiaoyu waved the recording stone in her hand and said cheerfully, “Brother Xuan, do you want it? We can make a deal again.” Jiang Xuan, who had calmed himself, showed a pained expression.
“Xiaoyu, after all these years, I didn’t expect you to fall so far.” As he spoke, he looked at Xia Xiaoyu with disappointment.
In Jiang Xuan’s opinion, although Xia Xiaoyu’s personality had changed drastically, at heart she should still be the same person, and he might still be able to talk her out of it.
However, Xia Xiaoyu pinched his face and teased, “Brother Xuan, I haven’t even done anything yet, and you’re already disappointed in me? No worries. You’ll be even more disappointed later. Clearly, I was here first, but that fiancé of yours thinks she can snatch you away? Let’s see who wins in the end!”
This night was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Xia Xiaoyu’s madness far exceeded Jiang Xuan’s expectations.
She didn’t give Jiang Xuan any chance to speak or resist.
Throughout the long night, she poured out all the feelings she had suppressed over the years.
“Brother Xuan, do you know how this state of mine came into being? It was born out of my overwhelming longing for you. And today, I’m going to unleash all that longing.”
…
“Brother Xuan, shall we go again? You wouldn’t want your fiancée to see the footage, would you?”
“Brother Xuan, all these years, no one has touched you. That proves your heart has always had me in it. Don’t worry, I’ll be gentle.”
“Hmm? Brother Xuan actually asked me voluntarily? Are you exhausted already? Oh, I almost forgot. Brother Xuan, your cultivation is too weak, your body can’t handle it. It’s fine, I’ll give you some great supplements tomorrow.”
“What? Brother Xuan, you want me to keep this matter secret? That will depend on your performance.”
…
Jiang Xuan: !!!
Since his reincarnation into this world, Jiang Xuan had never felt such despair and helplessness.
No matter what he did, whether he resisted or submitted, he was completely overpowered by Xia Xiaoyu. He was like a puppet being manipulated at will.
Xia Xiaoyu even thoughtfully said to Jiang Xuan, “Brother Xuan, since you can’t resist, why not just enjoy it?” Get faster updates on g.com.
After saying this, Xia Xiaoyu continued to ‘soothe’ him, her initially clumsy actions becoming increasingly skilled.
What shocked Jiang Xuan even more was that Xia Xiaoyu’s aura was visibly growing stronger by the moment.
Her eyes changed—one golden, one crimson. In the end, both eyes turned completely golden. After taking a look at the messy couch and the exhausted Jiang Xuan below, Xia Xiaoyu happily fainted, a faint smile lingering on her lips.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan, whose eyes had long since lost their brightness, also fell asleep in exhaustion.
Early the next morning, when Jiang Xuan woke up, he noticed he was alone in the room. Just as he was beginning to think that everything from yesterday had been a dream, he saw his tattered clothes and the chaotic state of the couch. Beside him, there was a letter and a storage ring. Jiang Xuan picked up the letter and read its contents:
***
Brother Xuan, I’m truly sorry for what happened yesterday. It was my failure to overcome the obsession deep inside me that caused everything. Controlled by my desires, I did many things that hurt you, but I promise I will take full responsibility for it. Please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I don’t know yet how to face you in the future. Also, I’ve left a storage ring for you. Inside are the cultivation resources given to me by my Master and the recording stone. I hope this can somewhat make up for the harm I caused you. Love, your Xiaoyu.
***
After reading the letter, Jiang Xuan was dumbfounded.
Xia Xiaoyu had simply used him up and then fled.
The only somewhat comforting thing was that she had left some Spirit Stones afterward. But it wasn’t about Spirit Stones anymore!
If Nangong Liuyun found out about what happened between him and Xia Xiaoyu, it would truly be the end for him.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan heard voices outside his room.
“Miss Nangong, this is the young master’s courtyard. The Patriarch was drunk last night and hasn’t woken up yet. If you need anything, you can talk to the young master directly. He should be awake by now,” the maid said before leaving.
Soon after, Nangong Liuyun knocked on Jiang Xuan’s door.
“Husband, are you awake? May I come in?”
Jiang Xuan: !!!
