On a scorching afternoon, Duanmu Xiji's hands and feet were shackled with iron chains as she stumbled. Sweat dripped down from her forehead and dripped onto her chest, wetting her clothes. The sandstorm blew her hair into disarray and she looked disheveled, but she still gritted her teeth and followed Ye Lui Long Hao's army step by step.
Marching was an extremely arduous task, especially in the scorching sun and strong winds. Following an army of 300,000 soldiers over mountains and ridges and trekking for a long distance was so difficult that even a man could not bear it, let alone a woman. Not long after, Duanmu Xiji felt light-headed. Her vision was blank, and even the road started to fluctuate and twist, making her almost fall to the ground.
At this moment, a life-saving voice rang out,""Pass down my order. There is a forest one mile ahead. We will spend the night in the forest. Everyone will bury their pots and cook their meals to recuperate. As for you, come with me. The emperor wants to see you!”
Duanmu Xiji looked up blankly." See me?”
"Yes, the emperor wants to see you. Follow me to the central tent!”
Then, regardless of whether she was willing or not, the guard dragged her along. When they finally reached the tent, he pushed Duanmu Xiji to the ground." Your Majesty, Duanmu Xiji is here."”
"Yes!" Yelu Long Hao snorted lightly and waved his hand, signaling the guards to leave.
"Raise your head and look at me." He ordered in a low voice as he looked at the delicate body lying on the ground.
However, Duanmu Xiji didn't have any reaction. She just curled up and lay down quietly.
When Yelu Long Hao saw this, he raised his eyebrows and took a big step forward to carry Duanmu Xiji. Her face was ashen, her lips were cracked and bloodless, her cheeks and nose were full of marks from the sun, and her hands and feet were covered in circles of green and purple bruises.
Yelu Long Hao stretched out his hand and touched her nose. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. She had only fainted, but she was far more stubborn and delicate than he had imagined.
He thought that she would come and beg for mercy, at least halfway through, because he had always been strict in managing the army. When marching, he had strict discipline. Without orders, he would never slack off or delay the army's journey. Therefore, as long as he set off, he would not rest until he achieved his goal. Therefore, even the soldiers under the tent were sweating and panting, some fell, some fainted, let alone a delicate girl like her. However, she had followed the army for an entire day without a word of complaint.
Thinking of this, Yelu Long Hao took another look at the unconscious person in his arms. He had a new view of her, but he didn't know how many more faces she had that could surprise him.
He picked her up and gently placed her on the bed. Then, he picked up a cup of tea and sprinkled a few drops of water on her face.
The fragrance of the tea made Duanmu Xiji frown and she muttered,""Water, I want water…"
Ye Lui Long Hao didn't even think about it. After drinking a big mouthful of tea, he held her face and slowly poured the water into her mouth.
Duanmu Xiji moaned and naturally opened her mouth to suck the honey from Yelu Long Hao's mouth.
This surprised Yelu Long Hao, and he couldn't help but put down his teacup and focus on kissing her, savoring her sweetness and weakness.
Duanmu Xiji was in a daze and didn't know what had happened. She only knew that she had walked for a long, long time. She only knew that she was very, very thirsty. She was so thirsty that her throat felt like it was on fire, almost suffocating her.
Yes, she was about to suffocate. She could not help but gulp and pant, but she realized that what she swallowed was not water, but a man's scorching breath.
She opened her eyes abruptly and met the face of an extremely good-looking and masculine man. This man was biting her lips unbridled and boldly, and his hands were moving around her body without any restraint.
Duanmu Xiji subconsciously wanted to scream, but her screams were all swallowed by Yelu Longhao. He sucked her weak and helpless lips even more presumptuously and tyrannically until she almost couldn't breathe, then he unwillingly let go of her.
"Drink the water. You look like you're going to die of thirst at any moment.”Ye Lui Long Hao pointed at the tea on the table not far away and said coldly. It was completely impossible to tell that he had kissed her so passionately just now.
Duanmu Xiji was stunned. She looked confused." You…you won't kill me?”
He raised his eyebrows slightly." Kill you? When did I say I wanted to kill you?"
"Isn't it? You handcuffed me with iron chains and didn't give me food or water. You even wanted me to follow your army. Isn't this trying to kill people?”
He curled his lips contemptuously and suddenly reached out to pinch her small chin, forcing her to face him." I did that just to let you know who your master is and what will happen to those who don't keep their word and disobey my orders! Do you know who your master is now?”
"Master?" She stubbornly turned her head away." I'm a living, thinking, breathing person. I'm not a slave, nor am I a beast. I don't need a master.”
His eyes turned cold and he grabbed her hand forcefully." You are indeed not a beast, but don't forget that you brought this on yourself. You promised to let me do whatever I want to you, so you are my slave. You will do whatever I say! Men!"
A eunuch immediately rushed in." Your Majesty!”
"Remove the chains from her body."
"Yes." The eunuch swiftly untied the chains on Duanmu Xiji's hands and feet.
Yelu Long Hao's face darkened as he continued to instruct,""Without my decree, no one is allowed to come in and disturb you.”
His cold snort scared the eunuch so much that his face instantly turned pale. He kowtowed and retreated in panic.
Yelu Long Hao turned to glare at Duanmu Xiji," Take off your clothes, I want you now!”
Duanmu Xiji's face turned pale." You... This is the central tent. There are many soldiers guarding outside. Aren't you afraid..."
"Do you know why everyone calls me Donghuang Yan Luo?”
How could she not know? Although East Emperor Yelu Long Hao was as famous as West Sage Ouyang Che, South Tyrant Du Shouyu and North Deity Shen Chong, they were the coldest and cruelest of the four. Every city that was conquered would be massacred and looted. The person in charge would be killed to establish his authority, and the women would be taken as concubines. Hence, there was a saying that went," Those who obey the Eastern Emperor live, those who defy the Eastern Emperor die."
It was said that he had once punished a rebel general by making him stand in a cage and let him die under the scorching sun in July. He had also heard that he had beaten the courtiers in court until they were badly mutilated and their screams resounded throughout the palace. However, what frightened Duanmu Xiji the most was his attitude towards women. It was extremely heartless and cold, making people shudder just thinking about it.
Ye Lui Long Hao seemed to have read her mind and suddenly lifted her face to face him." Do you know what happens to women who talk back, disobey, and disobey my orders?”
"If I remember correctly, a few of them were sent to the military camp as military prostitutes, and a few were directly sentenced to death with white silk. Xi Ji, which one do you want to choose?"
Duanmu Xiji's face turned pale." You…"
He lowered his head and kissed her red lips." Do you want to be my woman, or would you rather see the soldiers guarding outside?”
Duanmu Xiji knew that she had no other choice. In fact, from the moment she stopped his horse, she knew that she could not avoid this day. After all, this was her choice and also for the people of Dolan City.
Thus, with trembling hands, she once again undressed in front of Ye Lui Long Hao, then quietly lay on the bed and waited.
Unexpectedly, Yelu Long Hao shook his head," Get up, did I tell you to lie down?”
She sat up in confusion.
"Come and undress me." he ordered.
Duanmu Xiji got off the bed naked and took off the clothes she had put on for him yesterday. Not long after, Yelu Long Hao's muscular body appeared in front of her.
Duanmu Xiji, who had never seen a man like this before, instantly blushed. She bit her cherry lips tightly, her big watery eyes darted around awkwardly, and her small hands twisted her clothes until they were about to tear, but she did not dare to look at him.
But Duanmu Xiji never thought that her shy and beautiful appearance would arouse Ye Lui Long Hao's hidden desire.
A fire burned in his eyes. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, pressing their naked bodies tightly together." Open your mouth. I want to kiss you properly."”
Without waiting for Duanmu Xiji to reply, he pressed his lips against hers domineeringly and sucked the fragrant honey in her mouth without any politeness. He nibbled on her soft and timid lips, giving her no chance to reject him or even catch her breath.
"You're so sweet. You're sweeter and more alluring than I imagined or remembered.”
He picked her up and gently placed her on the bed, trying to arouse her most primitive desire.
Duanmu Xiji endured everything that Ye Lui Long Hao had done to her. In fact, she felt extremely humiliated! This was not right. Things should not be like this between a man and a woman, but she had no choice and could not avoid it. Thus, she could only desperately defend that piece of pure land in her heart, that last small piece of pure land that Yelu Long Hao could not trample on, that he could not humiliate.
What kind of person was Yelu Long Hao? How could he not know what Duanmu Xiji was thinking? He grabbed her long hair and pulled her towards him." Xi Ji, have you forgotten what I said?”
She was in so much pain that she was about to cry." You…What else do you want? I…I'm already like this, what else do you want?”
"How is it? I told you not to talk back or disobey orders. Have you forgotten?”
Crystal tears slid down her face from the corner of her eyes. She helplessly let Yelu Long Hao grab her," I will do whatever you want me to do. If you are not satisfied, I can't do anything…"
" You…" He pushed her away with a livid face." You deserve to die!" I'll let you know what it means to be obedient and what it means to disobey orders!”
He blocked her mouth again without any explanation. At the same time, he stuck the tip of his tongue into her mouth to attack her, causing her to be at a loss. She did not know what to do.
" No, Emperor, please don't…" Duanmu Xiji couldn't help but beg.
However, Yelu Long Hao ignored her and did not care that he might hurt Duanmu Xiji.
Duanmu Xiji groaned from the sudden pain.""It hurts!"
Yelu Long Hao's eyes flashed.
Duanmu Xiji begged for mercy again,""No, Emperor, I beg you…"
He shook his head." No? Xi Ji, haven't you learned your lesson yet? Don't you know that I can't say no to the woman I want?”
Duanmu Xiji was so ashamed that she wanted to kill herself by hitting the wall. Wasn't it enough for him to humiliate her like this? What else did he want to do? Did he want her to kneel on the ground and beg him for mercy?
"You…What do you want? What do you want me to do to make you happy and let me go?”
Yelu Long Hao curled his lips coldly," How is it? You'll know in a while."
Duanmu Xiji was almost defeated!
She tried her best to retain her last bit of rationality, to resist the humiliation that Ye Lui Long Hao had placed on her.
When Yelu Long Hao saw this, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and his handsome face was filled with lust.
He took a deep breath and pressed the panting and trembling body under him. His masculine figure pressed against her and asked in a hoarse voice,"Xi Ji, are you sad?"
Duanmu Xiji's head swayed left and right. The rapidly rising fiery desire made her so painful that she couldn't say a word.
"Xi Ji, as long as you beg me, I'll relieve your pain. Tell me quickly!"
She bit her lip and did not speak. She resisted the desire that was about to burn her out, and her body could not help but tremble.
Yelu Long Hao's face sank," You…"
Duanmu Xiji almost fainted, but the tearing pain pulled her back to her senses, forcing her to face Ye Lui Long Hao, his madness and possession.
Ye Lui Long Hao pinched her chin with one hand and raised her hand over his shoulder with the other, asking in a deep voice,""Xi Ji, who am I?"
Duanmu Xiji shook her head in pain and couldn't even speak.
"Xi Ji, I want you to remember this moment. Remember that I'm your master. From now on, you're my woman and my slave. If you dare to talk back, break your promise, or even disobey me, I will make you beg for death!”
As he said that, he announced that from now on, Duanmu Xiji was his woman. Yes, a woman that only belonged to him.
In the middle army tent, Yelu Long Hao supported his head with his hands, his naked body lying on the bed. He closed his eyes and shut his lips tightly, but his eyes were fixed on Duanmu Xiji, who had her back to him and was curled up like a small shrimp.
He had just taken her and completely possessed her. Even so, his body was still very tense at this moment, and he still wanted her from every corner.
What was going on? He rarely acted so abnormally as he did today. He even used a method that was close to rape to seize a woman's innocence. This was too unlike him!
He had never bothered about women. Ever since he ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, there would always be an endless number of women waiting for him in the harem. These women would look at his expression and live their lives according to his preferences. He frowned. They were worried and afraid of angering him. But she had repeatedly disobeyed him, angered him, and even stopped him in public. She…Did she not know what kind of man she was facing?
But it didn't matter. After the sex just now, she should already know who the master was. As long as she was gentle and obedient, he would dote on her, pamper her, and love her. After all, he had never met a woman as stubborn, beautiful, passionate, and heart-stirring as her.
Thinking of this, Yelu Long Hao reached out to turn Duanmu Xiji's body, wanting to love her again, but she was lying on the ground with a pale face, blood slowly flowing out of the corner of her mouth.
Yelu Long Hao was shocked," Xi Ji, Xi Ji!”
Duanmu Xiji's eyes were tightly shut, and her weak body trembled slightly as if she was protesting against Ye Lui Long Hao.
Ye Lui Long Hao was angry and anxious. He grabbed her shoulders and shook her," Damn it, I won't allow you to die. Without my permission, you are not allowed to die, not allowed to die!"”
However, she was like a broken doll, her head drooping softly. Blood dripped onto the bed, making Ye Lui Long Hao nervous.
He hurriedly put on his clothes and got out of bed. After covering Duanmu Xiji with a blanket, he immediately summoned the imperial physician.
"Your Majesty."
Ye Lui Long Hao pointed at Duanmu Xiji on the bed, his hands trembling," You…how is she?”
The imperial physician bowed respectfully." Yes, sir."
Seeing the imperial physician open Duanmu Xiji's mouth and carefully examine her injuries, Ye Lui Long Hao couldn't help but feel complicated emotions.
He did not expect her to be such a staunch woman! Since she was so staunch, why didn't she dissuade Duanmu Jing's actions and even betrothed her body to him in front of thousands of people? Didn't she know that it meant that she had lost her freedom for the rest of her life?
He liked her. Long before he attacked Dolan City, he had seen a painting of a beauty with her as the main character. In the painting, she was so beautiful and pure, like a fairy from the moon palace who didn't touch the mortal world. She was mesmerizing. However, he was not the ruler of the Shang Dynasty. He would not light the beacon tower for a woman, nor would he go to great lengths to get her by hook or by crook. He just liked her, purely liked her, until he saw her blocking his horse.
The real her was extremely beautiful and stubborn, but it also made him extremely confused. Why was she willing to sacrifice herself to him for the sake of the people of Dolan City, but she wanted to commit suicide again? He could understand her devotion, but he did not understand why she wanted to commit suicide. Could it be that this matter was a scam from the beginning to the end? A trick to trick him into withdrawing his troops from Dolan City so that he could obtain the Jade Kylin?
This was not impossible. After all, Duanmu Jing had dared to attack the Jade Kylin repeatedly for the sake of the Jade Kylin. It seemed that he had made ample preparations. Moreover, sacrificing her alone could allow Dolan City to retain its strength and rise again. There was nothing that was not worth it. Otherwise, why would she resist and regret so much after giving her body to him, even biting her tongue to commit suicide?
Damn it, if that was the case, then he would not let her off. Even if she died, he would not let her off!
Thinking of this, he stepped out of the central army tent and issued a few orders in a row. He then sent a strong force back to Duolan City before returning to the tent. The imperial physician was already standing there waiting for him.
"Your Majesty."
"How is she?"
"It's fine. It's just a bite. I didn't bite off my tongue. I'll be fine after resting for a few days.”
"Okay, you can go down and receive your reward."
Yelu Long Hao waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating for the imperial physician to leave. He walked to the bedside and looked at the pale and thin beautiful face.
"Get up, I know you're awake!" He ordered coldly.
Duanmu Xiji, who had her eyes closed, opened her eyes and sat up. However, her gaze was avoiding Yelu Longhao.
"I've already sent people back to Shi Duolan City!" Ye Lui Long Hao said coldly.”
Duanmu Xiji was stunned. She shook her head nervously and excitedly, but she couldn't open her mouth because she was injured.
"Do you know why I did that?”
She shook her head, her eyes filled with tears.
Ye Lui Long Hao took a step forward and sat down on the edge of the bed. He held her small face with one hand," Because of you, because you made me realize that if I don't return to Duolan City, I might suffer unprecedented losses and never be able to find the Jade Kylin. For the sake of my people and land, do you think I can not go back?”
She was still shaking her head, anxious tears dripping down her chest. She grabbed onto Yelu Long Hao with both hands, trying to express her inner feelings, but Yelu Long Hao's face was indifferent, he didn't know what she was talking about.
Duanmu Xiji was so anxious that she almost knelt down and begged him. Suddenly, her eyes glanced at the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, so she hurriedly got off the bed and came to the table. She picked up the brush and gave it to Ye Lui Long Hao.
Yelu Long Hao focused his gaze.
Father has already regretted it. He will never snatch the Jade Kylin from you again.
"Is that so? Then why did you want to commit suicide? Don't you want to help your father?"
Father's life and death are now in your hands, how can I help him?
"It's hard to say. Haven't you heard of honey traps? Since your father could disregard the lives of the people of Dolan City for the sake of the Jade Kylin, he would naturally sacrifice you for the sake of the Jade Kylin, wouldn't he?”
No, what I did had nothing to do with my father. I only did that because you scared me.
"I scared you?" He furrowed his eyebrows, as if he did not understand what she meant.
No one has ever treated me like you, so I'm afraid. I feel humiliated again!
He came to a sudden realization, but his handsome face was also covered with a layer of frost at the same time. His voice was instantly as cold as ice." Humiliate? Is my visit an insult to you?”
I've been reading the books of the sages since I was young and have learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius. I've always been cautious about etiquette when it comes to matters between men and women. I don't understand it, and I can't adapt to what you've done to me, so…" Humph! Let me ask you, who said that food and sex are human nature?”
Duanmu Xiji's face turned pale and the pen in her hand fell to the ground.
"Everyone says that they have learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius, but in fact, they are distorting Confucius and Mencius. Do you think that Confucius and Mencius would treat the desires of men and women as disrespectful? If that was the case, then humans should have gone extinct after Confucius died, right?”
Duanmu Xiji swayed. If not for Yelu Longhao's quick reflexes, she would have fallen to the ground.
He stared at her without moving, hugging her tightly with both hands and sticking their bodies together maliciously." Don't use your Confucius and Mencius teachings to resist me! You have to know that from the moment you stopped the car, you were no longer the Duanmu Xiji of the past. Now, you are mine, my Duanmu Xiji. I can let you live, and I can also let you die. It can make you happy, but it can also make you feel like you're living in hell. You can't live or die!
Besides, you probably don't want the people of Dolan City to live in fear like you, right? After all, you and your father have to take responsibility for what happened, don't you?”
His words were like knives that stabbed into her fragile heart. She could not refute or escape. She could only look at him, at this man who was as handsome as a god but as evil as a demon.
He carried her back to the bed and pressed his body against hers." Be my woman and give birth to a few princes for me. This way, Dolan City might become more expensive because of you, and all the chickens and dogs in the city might rise to the sky.”
Then, he turned around and walked away, leaving Duanmu Xiji frozen on the spot, thinking about what he meant by his last sentence.#
