When Haoyue woke up from his coma, what greeted his eyes was darkness.
Why was it so dark? Where was this?
She touched her head that was covered in cold sweat. Her head was so heavy and dizzy, and some parts of her body were sore and numb. What was going on?
She slowly recalled that her palanquin had been attacked. Then, she saw Zhai Sheng, who she had not seen for a long time. After that, she did not know what happened.
Right, Zhai Sheng, her Zhai Sheng.
She hurriedly stood up. At this moment, her eyes lit up. She saw that she was sitting on a bed. It looked like a bedroom. The door had been opened, and an oil lamp lit up the room.
The person holding the oil lamp was the person she had been thinking about day and night.
" Di Sheng." She looked at Di Sheng in surprise and in a daze.
Five years ago, Zhai Sheng was so dirty that people could not see his face clearly. She never knew what he looked like.
Now, the person in front of her was a mature man with a heroic spirit. He looked elegant and handsome, just like the man she had seen in her dreams.
"I didn't think that you would recognize a nobody like me!”Di Sheng placed the oil lamp on the table and then looked into her eyes.
Haoyue's heart turned cold. His gaze was so unfamiliar and cold. She knew that he was 100% Zhai Sheng, but his gaze was not the one she was familiar with. In an instant, the distance between them seemed to have become very far.
"What, you can't recognize me?”Di Sheng smiled." It's no wonder. When you and your brother humiliated me, I was as dirty as a beggar. Now, I look more like a human being. Of course, you won't recognize me.”
No, she recognized him. She recognized him from the beginning!
Haoyue really wanted to say this to him, but she could only keep these words in her heart.
Because the current her was not the Coral that she had made up five years ago. She was the daughter of his sworn enemy, the daughter of the Qing Dynasty.
She had to keep her cool and not give herself away. If he knew that she was the Coral of the past, it would be a major blow to him.
If Zhai Sheng knew that the person he wanted to see was her, the daughter of Prince Rong, she could not imagine how he would react. He might break down and hate her and his family even more.
Or maybe he would hate her, but she mustn't let him know the truth. He would let Coral stay in his heart forever, and she would still be her, Haoyue Gege. In the real world, they would never meet.
"You captured me here because you hate me for what happened back then, so you want to take revenge on me, right?”She could only face him with the expression and attitude that she should have as the princess of the bright moon.
"Revenge?" Di Sheng sneered. "You can think that way, but to tell you the truth, I didn't kidnap her for you, but for your servant girl, Coral.”
Hearing Di Sheng call out Coral's name made Haoyue's heart throb, ecstatic and shocked.
However, she could only pretend to be stunned and ask,"Coral? Do you know her?"
"There's no need to tell you how I met her. I just want you to know that I'm mainly looking for her, not you.”
"Since your target isn't me, why did you bring me here?”Haoyue remembered. She remembered that at that time, she felt someone tapping on her body a few times, and then her vision went black. She should have fainted, so it should be Zhai Sheng who brought her here unconscious.
"My target is indeed not you, but since I have caught you, I have no reason to let you go. Don't forget what your father did to me and my family. You can't be naive enough to think that I'll let you and your family escape unscathed, right?”
"You!" Haoyue involuntarily took a step back. "You really want to take revenge on us?"
"Revenge is too heavy. I'm just seeking justice for myself.”Di Sheng said as he slowly approached Haoyue.
"You!" At this moment, the voice became even louder in Haoyue's eyes. His entire body was emitting a dangerous aura. Facing his approach, Haoyue, who had nowhere to hide, was forced to retreat to the side of the bed and sit down.
Looking at her panicked expression, Di Sheng could not help but smile. "Do you need to be so afraid? You have to know that what I'm going to do to you now is nothing compared to what you did to me back then!”
"What exactly do you want?"
"Don't worry, I'll let you know immediately.”Di Sheng stretched out his hand under Haoyue's astonished gaze, and then forcefully grabbed her sharp chin.
"It hurts!" Haoyue frowned in pain.
"Will it hurt?" Zhai Sheng's bright black eyes looked straight into her eyes."As long as you beg me to be gentle with you, I won't hurt you. How about it?”
Haoyue quietly looked at him for a while, then shook his head.
He wouldn't know how she was feeling right now.
No matter if it hurt or not, no matter how he treated her, she would gladly accept it.
It was atonement, and it was also because he was the most important man in her life.
He could do whatever he wanted to her because he was Zhai Sheng. Other than him, she would not let any other man do this to her.
Hao Yue's calm expression and resigned eyes made Di Sheng stunned for a moment, how could she have such an expression?
She should cry, tremble, be afraid, or even kneel on the ground and beg for mercy!
However, she did not cry or tremble. There was no fear on her beautiful face. Instead, she appeared unexpectedly calm.
Di Sheng looked coldly at the noble Ge Ge in front of him, his chest burning with anger.
What did this woman mean by doing this? Did she think that this was an atonement? If she had such na?ve thoughts, he would let her know the consequences of her naivety.
A devilish smile appeared on Di Sheng's lips. "I think you haven't let anyone taste it yet!”
He pressed his fingers against her red lips. Not bad, it was quite soft, making him want to taste it even more!
Without waiting for her to speak, he cupped the back of her head with his hands and placed his lips on her fragrant lips.
His anxious lips rolled over these two soft parts. He went deep into her mouth and kissed her fiercely. Like a hungry beast that had discovered a sweet spring, he wanted to take all the fragrance in her mouth for himself.
The numbing pain on her lips let Haoyue know that she was being ruthlessly gnawed on, his overbearing kiss seemed to even take her breath away. She didn't know if it was because it was too painful or because she was touched that she could finally kiss him, but her tears rolled down.
This kiss was like a storm that ravaged her body and her heart. When he finally left her lips, she lost all her strength and leaned softly into his arms.
Such a Haoyue made Di Sheng smile. He wrapped his arms around her waist and sat her on his firm legs. Haoyue suddenly felt a chill pass through her body, she lowered her head to take a look and couldn't help turning pale.
He actually lifted her skirt, and she could even see her fair legs and underwear.
Oh my god, she was just showing off her lower body.
"What are you doing?" She shouted and tried to break free from his grip.
"Don't move. Otherwise, don't blame me if I hurt you.”
Haoyue drew in a breath, and his body convulsed as if responding to his touch.
"Very good, your reaction is not bad." Seeing Haoyue's panicked expression, the corners of Di Sheng's slightly curved mouth revealed a satisfied smile.
Originally, he had wanted to take possession of this soft and fragrant body. He did this not just to avenge himself. The reason he wanted her was not only because she was attractive, but also because she was the daughter of Prince Rong. She had to pay the price for her father's mistake five years ago.
But he didn't want her now. She disregarded her own life and insisted on protecting others. This courage made him angry and disgusted.
Would Prince Rong's daughter do this for a servant? Even if he had seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that she was just putting on an act.
He wanted her to cry for him. He wanted this Manchu woman to kneel at his feet and beg for mercy.
"Stop!"
This strong external stimulation made Haoyue constantly twist his body. Di Sheng kept on teasing and invading her, making her breathing become hurried, a kind of numbing pleasure flowing in her hot body.
"I heard that as long as you caress a woman here, she will be in ecstasy in your arms. I didn't expect this to be true.”Di Sheng's words deliberately teased Haoyue's sense of shame.
"Di, Di Sheng!"
"Ah, yes."
"What a nice voice. I want to hear more.”Di Sheng licked her small earlobe.
"No!" "Let go of me! You can't do this to me!”
"Since you said no, I'll do it for you.”
Haoyue closed his eyes, two streams of tears slowly flowing down.
"You've humiliated me enough!"
"Do you really think so?" Di Sheng grabbed her beautiful black hair and pulled it abruptly, making her raise her beautiful face to look at him.
Even though she was crying, her beauty was still moving. Zhai Sheng had to admit this fact.
At the same time, he realized that he had loosened his grip on her hand. Her pearl-like tears made his hatred for her start to waver.
"Di Sheng?" Haoyue was shocked by Di Sheng's seemingly affectionate gaze. This gaze, this was the gaze he would have when he looked at corals!
However, Di Sheng did not know that his eyes had changed. He refused to sympathize with Haoyue and told her in a cold voice,"Remember, now that you are in my hands, your life and your body belong to me. Don't forget the good things that your Amma has done. If you expect me to treat you like a guest, then you'll be disappointed.”
"Then what do you plan to do with me?" Hao Yue's eyes revealed a sorrowful whisper.”
"Nothing much." Di Sheng's eyes dimmed, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a cruel smile. "It depends on my mood. Just wait and see!”
He gave her another cold glance, then turned around and left.
After Di Sheng left, Haoyue was immediately surrounded by the cold silence in the room.
" Brother Zhai." She muttered to him as tears fell from her eyes.
Leaving Haoyue, Di Sheng walked directly to the main hall of Tiancheng Stronghold.
Why did he say that it was Di Sheng's Tiancheng Stronghold? This was because the chief of Tiancheng Stronghold was Di Sheng.
Five years ago, Di Sheng had successfully escaped from Prince Rong's residence with Haoyue's help. He knew that Prince Rong would definitely send troops to track him down. At that time, he had taken a risk and made a decision to stay in the capital. He did not listen to Haoyue's words and leave.
At that time, he felt that the most dangerous place was the safest place. Prince Rong must have thought that he would escape from Beijing and focused his search on the outside of the city. He must not have thought that he would dare to stay in his territory.
After the incident, it was proven that his thoughts were right. Prince Rong did not send anyone to search the capital. He really thought that he had escaped to the outside of the city.
At that time, Di Sheng still had injuries on his body and needed to recuperate and rest. However, he did not dare to stay in an ordinary inn for fear that his whereabouts would be exposed.
He accidentally discovered Yuanheng Temple, a small temple with few people coming here to offer incense.
Thus, he hid in Yuanheng Temple and lived a peaceful life. Half a month later, one day, he walked to the small waterfall behind Yuanheng Temple and found that there was a different world inside the small waterfall.
This surprising discovery piqued his curiosity. In order to find out, he walked into the waterfall regardless of whether it was dangerous or not.
Once they entered, they would be inside Tiancheng Stronghold.
Five years ago, Tiancheng Stronghold was just a small stronghold with only 20 people. Tiancheng Stronghold was different from ordinary bandits. It was a small branch of the Heaven and Earth Society, and its goal was to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty.
Although Tiancheng Stronghold was a branch of the Heaven and Earth Society, it was not controlled by the Heaven and Earth Society. All the actions came from the wishes of the brothers in the stronghold. For more than ten years, Tiancheng Village had been engaged in the work of rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty in this extremely secretive place.
The discovery of Tiancheng Stronghold was undoubtedly a glimmer of hope for Di Sheng, who had no choice at that time. He joined Tiancheng Stronghold without hesitation.
At that time, the chief of Tiancheng Stronghold was called Ni Shen. He and Di Sheng hit it off at first sight. Because he sympathized with Di Sheng's tragic fate, Ni Shen taught him all his martial arts. With his help, Zhai Sheng's martial arts had improved by leaps and bounds in the past five years. Now, fighting one against ten was as easy as eating for him.
He had become the chief of Tiancheng Stronghold last month. Because Ni Shen suddenly fell seriously ill, he passed away in just three days.
Before Ni Shen passed away, he had handed over the position of the Stronghold Chieftain to Di Sheng. Nearly a hundred brothers in Tiancheng Stronghold had nothing but admiration for this young Stronghold Chieftain. Hence, Di Sheng naturally became the Stronghold Chieftain of Tiancheng Stronghold.
Back then, he was once a prisoner of the Manchu people and almost died an unnatural death. In just five years, he had become the leader of a village. The arrangement of fate was sometimes so wonderful that it was unexpected.
After becoming the chief of Tiancheng Stronghold, the first thing that Zhai Sheng did was not something related to the rebellion of the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. He wanted to realize what had been brewing in his heart for a long time. He wanted to bring Coral to Tiancheng Stronghold. He wanted to live with the person he could not forget here.
He had thought that he would be able to see Coral successfully this time, but who knew that it would be such a coincidence that Coral did not come this time. He was very disappointed.
"Chief, what should we do next?”The one who spoke was Huang Yifei, the deputy chief of Tiancheng Stronghold. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, a senior figure in the village. His usual performance was barely satisfactory, but he had never made any major mistakes.
His greatest flaw was his lecherous nature. If it was not for his lecherous nature affecting his usual performance, the position of Fort Master should have belonged to him today. It would not have been Di Sheng's turn.
"Yes, Di Sheng, what should we do?" This delicate female voice came from a young girl around 17 or 18 years old. She was the only daughter of the previous Fort Master, Ni Shen, and her name was Ni Xuan.
Ni Xuan had delicate features and was quite beautiful. She had a certain status in the village and everyone respected the daughter of the former Fort Master.
Many of the brothers in the village were infatuated with Ni Xuan. Unfortunately, this proud daughter of heaven only liked one person, and that person was Di Sheng.
"You don't need to be nervous. We'll just act according to the situation.”Di Sheng said calmly.
"Chief, now is not the time to be idle.”Huang Yifei said nervously. "Didn't we say that the target was the coral? Why did it become the princess of Prince Rong's residence? Chief, this is no small matter. Kidnapping Ge Ge is definitely a capital offense. What if the people from Prince Rong's residence come looking for us?"
Di Sheng glared at Huang Yifei, who was afraid of trouble." They won't come. Our place is so secretive. Who do you think would think that our Tiancheng Village is behind the waterfall?”
"The Fort Master is right, but we must be careful!”
"Uncle Yifei is right." Ni Xuan looked at Zhai Sheng with a serious expression." Zhai Sheng, what you're doing this time is too risky. That Ge Ge is not someone we can afford to offend. I think you should let her go quickly!”
"I won't let her go." Di Sheng expressed his determination in the firmest tone. "That's right. I know that I'm looking for trouble in your eyes, but this is between me and Prince Rong's residence. Now that Prince Rong's daughter is in my hands, this is the best bargaining chip. Do you think Prince Rong will not listen to me?”
"So you still want revenge." Ni Xuan said quietly.
The corner of Di Sheng's mouth twitched, but he did not say anything.
Did he really want revenge? The answer was yes. However, he was not someone who could not differentiate right from wrong. If he really wanted revenge, he would only look for one person, and that was Prince Rong.
However, this did not mean that he would let Haoyue off. He would not kill her, but he would not let her off either. Who taught her to be the daughter of King Rong?
Because of resentment, because of hatred, he took the risk to keep Haoyue.
Perhaps there was another reason, and that was the sound. Haoyue's voice was too similar to Coral's, which made him feel as if Coral was right beside him.
Although he knew that it was fake, it was still a comfort to him because he missed Coral so much.
"I understand. Anyway, you just want to be stubborn and ignore everyone's safety!”Ni Xuan's eyes flashed with jealousy towards Haoyue Gege. She had never seen Haoyue, but she had heard from her brothers in the village that Haoyue was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen.
"If you think that way, I can't help it.”Ni Xuan's blame and sarcasm were useless against Zhai Sheng. No one could change his decision.
Ni Xuan glared at Zhai Sheng hatefully. She was about to die from anger!
"What about corals?" Huang Yifei asked uneasily. "You didn't see Coral this time. When do you plan to bring her out?”
Di Sheng sighed. "Let's talk about it later! The residence of Prince Rong must be heavily guarded now. We will act according to the situation in a while.”
Hearing Di Sheng's words, Ni Xuan was so angry that she could not speak. Humph, what did he mean by saying some time later? Did he mean to keep Haoyue for a while?
Indeed, men loved beauty. Now that a rare beauty had appeared, Zhai Sheng had forgotten his surname and name.
"I see!" Huang Yifei nodded. "How does chief plan to deal with this Haoyue Gege?”
Di Sheng glanced sideways at Huang Yifei, who had an anxious expression on his face." Brother Huang, you seem to be very concerned about Haoyue Gege's matter?”
"This, hehe!" Huang Yifei scratched his head and smiled so widely that his eyes almost formed a straight line. "To be honest, that Haoyue Gege is really beautiful. I'm really moved by her beauty. I don't know if you can do it, chief."
"No!" Before Huang Yifei could finish, Di Sheng, who knew what he was trying to do, interrupted him sternly. "Haoyue Gege is my prisoner. Other than me, no one can touch her, not even you, big brother Huang.”
"Aiyo, good brothers don't have to be so clear.”He did not know that Huang Yifei was still pestering Di Sheng, who was already furious.
"I say, Fort Master, you also know this. I don't like money or wine. I only like this beauty."
"Don't say anymore."
Di Sheng's cold gaze made Huang Yifei feel a chill, as if a cold wind had blown past him.
"I'll repeat myself, I won't allow anyone else to touch Haoyue Gege. If I find out who provoked her, I won't let that person off.”
"What about me?" Ni Xuan raised her chin and said provocatively," You're referring to other men besides you, right? I'm a woman, and I'm not interested in Haoyue."
"What do you want to do to her?" Di Sheng asked coldly.
Ni Xuan's expression was very ugly. Di Sheng was clearly showing that he cared about Haoyue, wasn't he deliberately making things difficult for her?
"What can you do to me if I really do anything to her?" she shouted at Zhai Sheng angrily.”
Humph, she wanted to do something to Haoyue. Damn Haoyue, she actually made Di Sheng show a hostile expression towards her. This was all Haoyue's fault.
Di Sheng looked at Ni Xuan coldly. "I hope you won't do this. I don't want to make us unhappy because of Haoyue!”
"So, you will really offend me for her?”Ni Xuan asked him aggressively.
Di Sheng did not respond. He continued to treat her coldly and then walked out of the hall.
"Damn it!" Ni Xuan kicked the chair angrily.
"Xuan 'er, I think the Fort Master is infatuated with that Ge Ge.”Huang Yifei added fuel to the fire.
Detestable, too detestable! Ni Xuan became even angrier after hearing Huang Yifei's words. She blamed all the mistakes on Haoyue.
Fine, since you don't allow me to touch her, I'll just have to touch her. Let's see what you can do to me!#
