Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 667

The torrential rain poured down for most of the night, only gradually subsiding as dawn broke.

All that remained was a scene of utter devastation, littered with countless fragments of crimson and jade.

......

When Shen Lingjun woke up, it was dark.

She remembered that when she lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep, it seemed like dawn was already breaking. But now, it was pitch black outside the window.

She was stunned for a moment, completely bewildered, as if time and space had reversed, and she didn't know where she was or what day it was.

Turning to look to the side, I saw Mo Zhonggui, dressed in white, leaning against the headboard, reading a book by the light of a candle beside the bed.

Shen Lingjun asked him blankly, "Am I dead?"

Mo Chonggui: "......"

He rubbed his forehead and said, "This is the first time I've ever heard of someone saying 'I'm dead' as their first words after consummating their marriage."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

She struggled to sit up, but the movement caused her to gasp sharply, feeling as if all 206 bones in her body had been ripped apart and scattered all over the bed.

Mo Zhonggui quickly put down his book and helped her up.

"how's it going?"

Shen Lingjun: "...I'm not dead, but I feel like I'm not far from dying."

She couldn't sit still any longer and could only lean back. Mo Zhonggui had placed four or five cushions under her back.

Shen Lingjun forced herself to stay calm and asked, "What time is it now?"

Mo Chonggui: "It should be the third quarter of Xu hour." He added: "The Xu hour of the second day."

Shen Lingjun then understood.

No wonder she felt like time had reversed; she had slept for a whole day!

Shen Lingjun gritted his teeth: "Tell me the truth, your martial arts are so high, have you practiced some kind of Yin-Yang replenishment technique, specifically to absorb the essence of living people?"

Otherwise, how could she be paralyzed like this!

Mo Chonggui laughed, "Scared? Too bad it's too late, you can't escape now."

He leaned over and kissed Shen Lingjun again.

Shen Lingjun shrank back in fright, every cell in her body filled with resistance because of the terrible memories etched into her body.

This could be fatal!

But Mo Zhonggui's kiss was only a brief one; thankfully, he wasn't so depraved as to actually drain her dry.

"That's enough. We can't exhaust the resources. Such fresh and wonderful human essence should be properly nurtured so that we can absorb it every day and gather it every night in the future."

Shen Lingjun: "..."

Mo Chonggui called out to the outside, and Dou Niang came in. Shen Lingjun was startled, his face flushed, and he immediately pulled the quilt over his head.

Mo Zhonggui glanced at her helplessly: "...We are a lawful husband and wife, not someone who is cheating on me, so why are you hiding it?"

Shen Lingjun knew, of course, that Dou Niang wasn't an outsider, but she was just feeling embarrassed!

Mo Chonggui instructed Dou Niang, "Prepare some dinner. The Crown Princess has been sleeping all day and hasn't eaten anything yet."

Only after Mo Chonggui pointed it out did Shen Lingjun belatedly realize that she was both thirsty and hungry, her stomach growling. However, because her body was so sore, hunger was a minor issue.
