This villain has become a ghost

"I guess you must have been thinking... I suspect you've switched sides and joined Yanagisawa's camp, right?"

Yue Liuyun said nothing, but her eyes seemed to be asking, "Isn't it?"

Nangong Mingzhu's lips were bitter, he stared at her deeply, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Do you know that even if I doubt myself, I will never doubt you."

"Deep down, you still don't trust my feelings for you."

As if venting his anger, he raised his hand with distinct knuckles, pinched her chin, and said solemnly, "...So, who is suspecting who?"

"I'm sorry, it's my fault," Yue Liuyun raised her head, didn't push him away, and slowed down her voice, "but I want to know why you hid this from me. Didn't we agree that if anything happens, we'll face it together?"

"Because I'm afraid," Nangong Mingzhu stroked her lips and murmured, "...You are always so cruel to me and can abandon me without hesitation. When I knew that you had me in your heart, do you know how happy I was?"

"I'm obviously a person who will do anything to get what I want. I have to keep it firmly in my hands. But in order to prevent you from hating me, I forced myself to become a gentleman. Watching you leave with someone else, easily developing feelings for someone else, and because someone else got drunk..."

If... if she showed any sadness because of Liu Zeyin and the matter, he couldn't imagine whether he could still suppress the madness in his heart.

Yue Liuyun was hurt by his gaze.

She murmured, "...you don't trust my feelings for you either."

"You can abandon me at any time," Nangong Mingzhu's eyes grew darker and darker, and he got closer and closer to her, breathing heavily, "Yue Liuyun, I really want to act as if I didn't care at all like before."

"But I failed in the end."

"I'm not a good person. All my restraint and gentleness are only for you."

"And you are mine."

"I want you to see no one else but me."

Yue Liuyun would never have thought that the trigger for all of this would be her confession that night. No, this man had never been so magnanimous, nor was he a gentleman. His possessiveness was too strong, and he tossed back and forth between love and restraint, ultimately letting his emotions take precedence over his reason.

Perhaps he treated her so differently that she almost forgot that he was the ruler of a country, a high and mighty emperor. To outsiders, his cruelty, tyranny, and moodiness weren't entirely unfounded. She had seen him kill people, and she had also seen him treat others with indifference and callousness.

He is not a modern man, nor does he possess modern thoughts. He has tried his best to learn the thoughts and culture of her world, but he is still the ruler of this world.

She sighed and said, "Nangong Mingzhu, calm down. My feelings for you are different from others."

Yue Liuyun suddenly felt her body lighten. Nangong Mingzhu picked her up by the waist and pressed her tightly against the bed. He folded her hands and held them in one hand.

He leaned close to her ear, breathed hotly on her, and said in a hoarse voice, "...No, I'm calm. I just regret that I shouldn't have given you the opportunity to get close to others."

"Liu Zeyin, Yin Yun, Shen Yue, Ling Chaomian... Do you know how they look at you?"

Yue Liuyun turned his head away, not knowing what was going on in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "That's different."

"You are always so calm," Nangong Mingzhu murmured softly, "...it seems like I can't affect your emotions at all."

No, that's not the case.

Isn’t emotional stability a virtue?

Yue Liuyun really wanted to refute him.

Nangong Mingzhu buried his other hand in his hair, the lust in his eyes growing stronger and stronger. He gripped her head and kissed her, more roughly than any other kiss up to that point, sucking and plundering. Yue Liuyun felt her tongue go numb, as if it no longer belonged to her, her mind blank.

Crazy, really crazy.

Why did it evolve into this?

Wait, why did she say "again"?

Well, the fact is, she was once again pinned to the bed and bullied to the point where she had no power to fight back.

Yue Liuyun bit his lips hatefully, then tried her best to kiss him back, struggling to free her hands, wrapping her arms around his neck, and responding like him, biting him gently, their lips and teeth intertwined.

She asked vaguely, "...Is this enough?"

"Not enough," Nangong Mingzhu's hand moved from the back to the waist, causing Yue Liuyun to feel a tingling sensation. His breathing became more rapid, and his hand slowly moved down unsatisfied, "Not enough..."

Yue Liuyun was so frightened that his face turned red.

She finally realized the crisis and also realized that unlike before, this time he was no longer restraining himself and was serious about it.

"Wait, let me go first!"

Yue Liuyun pushed him away with all her might, using her hands and feet like a fluttering moth, kicking and stomping him, and said in a deep voice: "Nangong Mingzhu, if you dare to do this to me, I will definitely kill you!"

"Okay, I'd love to do it." Nangong Mingzhu suddenly smiled.

Yue Liuyun was heartbroken.

If this isn't perverted, then what is? She is actually dating such a person!

“Fuck you! @￥&％￥￥％&&*!… You’re going too far!”

Yue Liuyun cursed and beat him, and he struggled desperately, kicking him in the lower abdomen and biting his neck hard.

Nangong Mingzhu groaned after being kicked, raised his hand and touched the burning side of his neck, and there were bright red bloodstains on his slender white fingertips.

In a moment, the smile on the corners of his lips grew deeper and deeper, gradually evolving from a low chuckle to a loud laugh, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Her first thought was that this man was really crazy, absolutely crazy.

He is truly a masochist.

Did this make him feel good?

"This is the first time I've seen you so angry." Nangong Mingzhu stood up slowly, staring at her with a half-smile, straightened his clothes, raised his hand and rubbed her cheek, "...You're so cute."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

She quickly stood up and leaned aside, staring at him as if she had seen a ghost, obviously confused by his mood swings.

"Okay, I just wanted to scare you. Don't be afraid." Nangong Mingzhu gently tucked her hair behind her head.

It's kind of gentle and weird.

Yue Liuyun rubbed his temple: "Are you okay?!"

Why not go eat some Lycoris radiata?

Nangong Mingzhu replied with a smile: "It's okay."

"...But, did you really think I would do anything to you just now?" He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "You wish."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

No matter how well he concealed it, she could still see the sadness hidden in his undercurrent of eyes.
