Chapter 3, Danger

Chu Si said softly: "Murong Ke, if you want to keep me by your side, are you not afraid that one day I will kill you?"

Dazed, he stared at Chu Si for quite a while before Murong Ke finally came to his senses. He weakly lowered his head, resting his forehead against Chu Si's, and gently said: "Si'er, are you thinking about how to kill me and then end it all? Si'er, that day will never come, I promise"

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Ke burst into loud laughter. His clear and resonant laughter echoed far and wide. After the laughter subsided, Murong Ke said with a mischievous tone: "To kill me? If I, Murong Ke, could have my own woman take my head, it would indeed be a remarkable tale to be passed down through the ages"

With her eyes closed, Chu Si thought to herself, "Chu Si, oh Chu Si, at this moment, you must slowly uncover the truth of the matter."

At this point, he lowered his head, his lips kissing and licking at Chu Si's bare ankle, occasionally giving it a gentle bite. With his movements, Chu Si's body involuntarily trembled.

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Si's small face turned bright red to the extreme. The burning sensation made Chu Si uncomfortably turn her head away. It was only when she felt that Mu Rongke had not moved for a long time that she turned her head in surprise.

He swiftly untied the ropes. Then, he strode up to Chu Si, wrapped his arms around her, whose limbs were bound, and walked out the door with large strides.

Chu Si was seriously observing the surrounding scenery. This was a vast and desolate plain, illuminated by bright lights, where countless armored warriors were moving about. Tents were being dismantled, and a few hundred meters to the left, a group of knights sat motionless on their horses.

All the soldiers encountered along the way were clad in armor. Upon seeing Murong Ke, they immediately lowered their heads and respectfully bowed. Murong Ke paid them no mind, his expression returning to one of complete neutrality upon seeing these individuals

Seeing Chu Si's brows tightly knitted, Murong Ke lowered his head and pecked at her forehead. At that moment, a strong cold wind swept in with a whoosh. Murong Ke quickly pulled Chu Si closer to his chest and then strode towards a brightly lit cluster of wooden houses 500 meters away

Humph! Chu Si sneered, and even though it was a sneer, her voice was extraordinarily pleasant: "Murong Ke, you overestimate yourself too much." Heaven knows, this statement was definitely not something Chu Si intended to say; she had always been a member of the appearance association, with a weak resistance to handsome men. Yet for some reason, upon hearing Murong Ke's laughter, these words slipped out.

Though she thinks this way, deep within Chu Si's subconscious, there are significant concerns. Murong Ke is not an ordinary person; when it comes to shrewdness and capability, he is a rare talent in this world. He is inherently a ruthless individual, and no matter what, she cannot allow him to realize that she is not that so-called Si Er. Otherwise, her life could very well be at stake

Murong Ke lowered his head and saw Chu Si's eyes wandering. He couldn't help but hold her tighter, allowing her to snuggle deeper against him. Murong Ke then chuckled softly and said, "Si'er, it is of no use for you to look at the terrain. You should now understand that with your physical strength, there is no way for you to escape."

His warm breath brushed against Chu Si's face, and that refreshing scent reminiscent of fresh grass enveloped her. Yet the voice was resonant and powerful, exuding an indescribable confidence and tension

As the pain surged, Chu Si could not help but furrow her brows. Murong Ke, upon seeing her expression, burst into hearty laughter. His laughter echoed far and wide across the wilderness.

At this point, he smiled proudly and said, "I expect they won't say much; the beauty of my thoughts is truly unparalleled in the world!"

With a bang, Murong Ke kicked open the door. A bone-chilling cold wind rushed towards her in the brightly lit room. Chu Si couldn't help but shiver. Murong Ke looked down at her, his handsome face shifting in the flickering light of the torch: "Si'er, are you very cold?" He reached out to press against her back, and a surge of powerful internal energy swiftly coursed through Chu Si's meridians. After a moment, he withdrew his hand and smiled slightly: "So it turns out that Si'er has gone astray in her internal energy."

It was only then that Chu Si realized that the expressionless Murong Ke exuded a fierce and terrifying aura of brutal slaughter. This version of Murong Ke sent a shiver down the spine of Chu Si, who had never witnessed war before

He rubbed his face against Chu Si's face, and Murong Ke blew a breath against her jade-like ear. After provoking a shiver from Chu Si, he happily said: "Si'er, it is not that I overestimate myself. Rather, it is that I have touched every part of you, kissed you, and embraced you. Based on my understanding of you, even if you do not marry me, you probably will not marry another man either"

Upon hearing this, Chu Si almost let out a light laugh. Although she did not laugh, her eyes, which sparkled with mirth, displayed an indescribable beauty that left Mu Rongke momentarily stunned

At this turn of the head, he met the infatuated gaze of Murong Ke, who was staring intently. His deep, dark eyes were fixated on Chu Si's delicate face, a flicker of flame dancing within his gaze

Looking up at the sky, although sparse and scattered, the Milky Way and the Cowherd and Weaver Girl are still faintly visible. It turns out that the starry sky remains the same starry sky

As he gazed at Chu Si, who was quietly surveying her surroundings, a thought suddenly emerged in Murong Ke's mind: perhaps he should truly heed their advice. If Si'er were to lose her martial arts, would she then rely entirely on me? Upon considering this, he resolutely shook his head: if it meant that she would never find happiness in her life, or even come to hate herself for it, what joy would there be in obtaining her this way?

Murong Ke kissed her calf while occasionally looking up at her. Meeting Chu Si's blushing face and her expression of barely contained emotions, an indescribable joy surged in his heart. Suddenly, he turned away with a gasp, breathing rapidly. It was not until his breathing gradually steadied that Murong Ke turned back to look at Chu Si. At that moment, his face was filled with boundless joy: "Si'er, it turns out you have finally begun to accept me. Si'er, wait for me. After we return to the capital this time, I will immediately marry you as my legitimate wife. Even if all my relatives oppose it, I will still take you as my rightful bride."

As he spoke, his warm large hand began to wrap around her ankle, slowly stroking upwards inch by inch. Chu Si gritted her teeth, knowing that in this situation, remaining completely unresponsive would be the safest approach. However, she was merely Chu Si, who had never encountered such a situation before. At that moment, her entire petite body began to tremble violently.

As he spoke these words, his voice carried an indescribable sense of loss. No wonder he had just touched Si Er like that; she had reacted so emotionally. It turned out he had become infatuated, losing control of his mind and spirit

Sensing Chu Si's unease, with a soft "gulu" sound, Murong Ke swallowed again. He spoke with difficulty, his breath quickening: "Si'er, in the past, when you hid in my embrace, no matter how I kissed you or spoke to you, you remained as unresponsive as a beautiful jade figure. Could it be that you have truly developed feelings for me?"

After swallowing, Murong Ke's eyes became a bit clearer. He raised an eyebrow at Chu Si and said, "Si'er, so you can blush too. It is only at this moment that I understand why King Chu You would go to such lengths, even igniting a war, just to make a beauty smile."

Murong Ke was evidently in a good mood; in fact, as long as Chu Si could talk to him, his mood was indescribably wonderful. A soft laughter echoed in Chu Si's ears. He lowered his head and placed a kiss on the corner of her mouth, which gradually moved to her chin. Holding her chin, Murong Ke gently bit it.
