[To Become a River of Stars] Dong Xiange - Chapter 73
“By the way, just before you hit your head, you cursed ‘what the hell’. I wonder, who were you swearing at?”
His eyes sparkled with malicious delight as he watched the defenseless Shiliu helplessly walk into his trap.
Shiliu’s scalp prickled. She swallowed secretly, gathering her courage after a long moment to ask, “Did I… really act so presumptuously?”
“Would I bother lying about someone like you?”
Li Xuanci looked down at her, watching as Shiliu grew increasingly wilted, her bean-like head retreating further into her neck. The hidden amusement in his eyes only intensified.
Shiliu’s head still throbbed painfully, feeling dizzy and muddled. Overwhelmed by the sudden influx of information, she struggled to process it. She could only rub the still-swollen lump on the back of her head, desperately thinking of how to respond.
But no matter how she thought about it, the only two things Shiliu had any confidence in were her large appetite and her small courage. Although she didn’t know what had happened to her, even if she had lost her senses as Li Xuanci claimed, at most she would have craved some food—how could she possibly have seduced Li Xuanci?
She wouldn’t dare!
Realizing this, despite the needle-like pain in her head, Shiliu stammered out a rebuttal to Li Xuanci.
“Your Highness, I… I truly never intended to tarnish your virtue!”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Shiliu wanted to slap herself. What was wrong with her? It sounded as if she were some scoundrel who had ruined an innocent maiden and refused to take responsibility.
Li Xuanci watched Shiliu, who couldn’t even speak straight, and felt a strange sense of pleasure.
So stupid.
How could she be this foolish, stumbling into a trap so clumsily, and even struggling in such a laughable manner.
Like a fat rabbit caught in a snare, only able to prick its ears, expose its belly, and kick its legs in vain with clumsiness.
This was truly the dumbest prey he had ever caught.
With rare patience, Li Xuanci engaged in this ridiculous debate with her, picking up her thread.
His cool fingers seized Shiliu’s round, soft chin. The calluses on his fingertips deliberately and slowly rubbed against her skin, like a thin blade scraping, sending an uncontrollable shiver down her spine.
“Those who try to renege on their debts in front of me—do you want to see what becomes of them?”
The playful danger hidden in his subtly raised tone made Shiliu instinctively shake her head like a rattle-drum.
But Shiliu couldn’t help arguing further, “Then… then there should be some proof, right? Exactly how… how beastly was I?”
Li Xuanci didn’t answer. Instead, he traced his fingertip against her cheek, lightly hooking Shiliu’s small, soft ear. His nail scraped against the thin cartilage, and finally, with controlled force, he deliberately toyed with her tender earlobe, soft as a scallop.
Shiliu was speechless. A tingling sensation surged from the gaps in her spine, like fine threads winding up along her bones, piercing directly to the ear he was playing with. Blood rushed up in waves, mixed with an indescribable ambiguity, flushing her face a delicate red.
Li Xuanci looked down at Shiliu. Her skin was veiled in a hazy light, pure and innocent like a pearl. But the more force he applied, the more her cheekbones flushed with a rosy hue, like translucent pomegranate seeds, exuding a sweet redness from within.
He leaned down close to Shiliu’s reddened ear and whispered softly, “Why don’t you experience it yourself? Then you’ll know just how wanton you were.”
His breath was extremely hot, venomous like a snake’s tongue, drilling into her ear.
Shiliu desperately wanted to kick him away and rub her itchy ear canal properly. But the moment she moved, Li Xuanci seized her wrist and bit her ear fiercely.
His wet, hot tongue licked her soft earlobe in a lewd and explicit manner. Her senses magnified at this moment; even the sensation of fine granules scraping against soft flesh was so vivid it made Shiliu’s teeth chatter.
She clenched her teeth, wanting to resist, but her spine disobediently went soft on its own. Unconsciously, her waist arched, bending like a bow, pressing her soft bre*sts against his chest, trembling subtly.
Li Xuanci, still unsatisfied, trapped the vulnerable root of her ear with his teeth, grinding against that small, soft bit of earlobe flesh.
It still wasn’t enough. He narrowed his tongue and thrust it into her ear. Wetness and scorching heat mixed together. Shiliu’s ears were filled with the ambiguous sound of moisture and Li Xuanci’s infinitely amplified panting.
She nearly screamed, but her long-conditioned body defied her will, going soft at the waist and flushing red on its own. A tingling sensation shot up from her tailbone.
“Don’t… don’t, I want to…” she could only say instinctively, unable to articulate what she truly wanted.
Having had his fill of her small, soft ear, Li Xuanci finally straightened up, his eyes still holding an unconquered desire.
He gripped Shiliu’s chin, looking down at her watery eyes, flushed cheekbones, and the bite mark she had left on her own lower lip.
“I don’t care whether you truly don’t remember or are pretending. Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, as long as I’m not bored with you, don’t think about escaping my grasp.”
His eyes flashed with undisguised malice, filled with arrogant pleasure, as he delivered his ultimatum.
“It’s just as well that you don’t remember. I’m heading to the capital soon. There will be plenty of time along the way.”
“For every day you can’t remember, I’ll teach you for a day.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make you remember how you bared your c*nt and rode my waist, rocking incessantly, and how you held your own t*ts for me to lick.”
He shamelessly uttered such debauched words, disregarding Shiliu’s shocked and ashamed expression. Rubbing her bitten lower lip with his fingertip, he laughed delightedly.
When all else fails, cut off the enemy’s source of supply. Truth or falsehood, it doesn’t matter.
