Chapter 2, to take her maiden blood

What does King Nan want with me? Did I not just come from your residence? " Pei Qianqian's face fell long. Although she appeared calm and composed on the surface, her heart was already racing. Need it be said, Sikong Mingye must have sent someone to monitor her; otherwise, he would not have known about her original self hanging herself in despair, nor would he come to find her at this moment

"Follow her," the man spoke in a low voice, then closed his cold eyes again

Set sail

Miss Pei, our prince requests your presence

After making up her mind, she suddenly reached for her waist to loosen her clothing

Yes

In the dimly lit room, with a gloomy atmosphere, his cold and hard voice pierced the air, evoking a fear akin to that of a ghost. Pei Qianqian pressed her hand against her wildly beating heart, suppressing the urge to scream, and furrowed her brow as she asked, "What happened next?"

Observing her reaction, the man slightly curled his cold, thin lips, appearing to smile, yet his gaze remained as cold as ice

Having finished her words, she turned and ran out. This room was more unbearable than a haunted house; staying even a moment longer felt like it would cost her many years of life.

The man squinted his eyes, and within the narrow slits lay an unfathomable cold glimmer. "Are you feeling wronged marrying me as a concubine?"

Pei Qianqian took a deep breath, locking eyes with his cold black gaze, and finally decided to go all out, "Alright! If you want to sleep, then sleep!"

Calming her somewhat oppressed emotions, she replied with a faint smile, "The prince already knows, so why ask unnecessarily?"

Pei Qianqian had nowhere else to go, and after much contemplation, she could only think of escaping the capital to find another place to settle down and make a living

Little did he know, the man in front of him suddenly turned and walked towards the soft couch, "There is no rush, this king will wait until the day of the grand wedding"

"Miss Pei, we kindly ask you to accompany us for a while," the guard continued as if he had not heard her speak

Watching him return to the soft couch, the cold aura around him slightly receded, as he closed his eyes to rest, just as he had when they first met, ignoring her once again. She suppressed the urge to spit blood and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine, I will wait. Just don't send anyone to monitor me again. Remember this: on the day of the wedding, make sure to be clean!"

The guard who brought Pei Qianqian back from the city gate heard the call and entered, standing respectfully and solemnly, awaiting orders

Pei Qianqian shook her head, "I am not wronged at all; I just find it inexplicable. I can understand why the prince wants my blood, but I cannot fathom why the prince would want to marry me. Given your status, Your Highness, your princess should at least have some reputation and standing. I am merely a lowly illegitimate daughter in the Pei family. By marrying me as your consort, do you not feel that you are belittling yourself? You can continue to take my blood; there is no need to sacrifice your lifelong happiness, is there?"

Sikong Mingye slowly opened his eyes, and the corners of his cold, hard lips twitched uncontrollably for a moment

... ...

What the hell! Pei Qianqian couldn't help but curse, her face contorted. Which damn person said that? It's simply absurd to the extreme! Why not say to chop her up and make soup, maybe that would grant immortality!

In that same room, permeated by cold air, in the dim light, the man still leaned against the soft couch, but compared to a few hours ago, the cold aura emanating from his body was heavier and more intense

That deep voice seemed to have been sealed in an ice cellar for many years, sending shivers down Pei Qianqian's scalp. If it weren't for the absurd experience of having just traveled through time, she would absolutely lack the courage to stand here at this moment

Ran away

Since childhood, I have been afflicted by poison, and under the guidance of my esteemed teacher, I have sought your blood

In the dimly lit room, as he listened to the report from his subordinate, the man with closed eyes slowly opened them, revealing a chilling glint in the depths of his gaze, colder than the oppressive atmosphere of the room.

Pei Qianqian was left dumbfounded, her mind racing like a thousand wild horses. She was about to make a sacrifice, yet this scoundrel still had the audacity to nitpick the timing

When she arrived at the city gate, she found it tightly closed. Seeing that there was still some time before dawn, she was about to find a place to rest and wait for the gate to open before leaving, when suddenly, several men in black descended from the sky, blocking her path in an instant

Hmph! The man let out a light snort, his thin lips uttering words that were both cold and hard, "Catch him back!"

Sikong Mingye squinted as he approached him, his sharply defined handsome face emanating a menacing aura in the dim light. "This king knows he has wronged you, which is why I am willing to take you as my consort, as a way to repay the favor of your years of sacrifice."

The man suddenly rose from the soft couch

Pei Qianqian not only felt her heart tremble, but also experienced some pain in her internal organs, truly feeling as if she might vomit blood at any moment. Drinking her blood, forcefully taking her body, he felt no guilt or shame; instead, he even expected her to be grateful and appreciative

She finally understood why the original body despaired and took her own life upon hearing the news of the arranged marriage. To be a wife to such a man, one must possess a heart as unbreakable as a diamond; otherwise, just the thought of it sends shivers down one's spine

Seeing the men in black displaying threatening expressions and surrounding her completely, she remained silent for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying, "Lead the way!"

"Yes!" the subordinate responded, quickly disappearing outside the door

She is merely disgusted by such a situation, where the meaning of her existence is reduced to being his antidote, to detoxify him. Who would willingly accept such a life

Those deep black eyes were like stagnant water, reflecting a gaze as sharp as a sword, creating an illusion of a thousand swords piercing through her heart, which made Pei Qianqian shiver with goosebumps all over her body

Yes, Your Highness, Miss Pei has taken the silver and headed towards the city gate

I am not available" Pei Qianqian squinted her eyes, exuding extreme indifference

Well

After all, the body does not belong to her. If following his words can exchange for a future of freedom and ease, he wants it, and she will give it!

Looking at the figure of the guard at the door, and then glancing at the cold and suffocating environment around her, she glared at the man in front of her, who was more than a head taller than her, and gritted her teeth as she asked, "If I sleep with you just once, will you stop bothering me in the future?"

Damn

Since there is no way to escape, then it is time to confront her and demand that she serve as someone else's 'blood supply machine' for the rest of her life, just like the original self, she refuses to do it

As that tall figure approached Pei Qianqian, she instinctively took two steps back. Not only was he tall, but at that moment, as he moved, the cold atmosphere around seemed to ripple with his upright form, continuously pressing closer to her.

My esteemed teacher has instructed me to take your maiden blood when you come of age, so that I may be healed

Hmm? Although Sikong Mingye did not understand the meaning of her expression, his excellent eyesight allowed him to discern the anger on her face. The coldness in his eyes deepened as he fixed his gaze unblinkingly on the small and frail woman before him

Looking at the stern-faced man leading the group, Pei Qianqian felt an inexplicable tingling on her scalp. The person was none other than the guard who had summoned her to meet Sikong Mingye when she was at the Nanying Wangfu.

Who cares to be his queen

Under the oppressive threat of his aura, Pei Qianqian took a step back, unwilling to yield verbally. "Your Highness, forgive me for speaking frankly, but to present such a difficult matter with such confidence, are you not afraid of being ridiculed?"

Do you want to escape

She is not afraid of Sikong Mingye, even though he has a frightening appearance that deters others and instills fear. However, she has no reason to fear him. After all, he needs her blood; if she dies, he will not fare well either
