Chapter Ch775.4 - Extra 4: Possessiveness
Edited by Ea
Thank you VampChan for the raws
Xuan Wushe stared at him for a moment, then loosened his grip.
Lin Zhan collapsed to the ground and coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.
Lin Zhan’s body was trembling slightly; he could feel that Xuan Wushe truly wanted to kill him just now.
As Xuan Wushe looked at the frightened person leaning against the wall, his initial anger caused by being betrayed and fooled miraculously disappeared.
Lin Zhan pressed a hand against his neck and opened his mouth to speak, but found that his throat seemed to be hurt.
Xuan Wushe inexplicably felt a rare sense of guilt. He stretched out his hand to check the bruise on Lin Zhan’s neck, but who knew that Lin Zhan was in a panic, so he squatted down suddenly, hugged his body and watched Xuan Wushe vigilantly.
Xuan Wushe: “…..”
Xuan Wushe: “Let me take a look.”
Lin Zhan shook his head and turned his head away, not looking at Xuan Wushe’s face.
Xuan Wushe said again, “The one that hurts is yourself. Why bother making things difficult for yourself?”
Lin Zhan sneered in his heart, Like h.e.l.l Laozi is making life difficult for myself. You’re obviously the one making life difficult for me.
Seeing that he was not moving at all, Xuan Wushe lost his patience and directly lifted Lin Zhan up in a carry, ignoring his frantic struggles, and threw him onto the bed.
Lin Zhan stared at Xuan Wushe. “You just came to be a hooligan!”
Xuan Wushe: “What did you say?”
Lin Zhan rolled his eyes and changed his words: “Illiterate.”
Xuan Wushe leaned forward, put his hands on both sides of Lin Zhan’s neck, and said, “Although I don’t understand what you’re talking about, I know you didn’t say anything good.”
There was already a purple mark on Lin Zhan’s neck. Xuan Wushe raised his hand and touched it lightly. Lin Zhan flinched.
Xuan Wushe withdrew his hand, took out a small bottle from his storage ring, and applied some ointment on Lin Zhan’s wound lightly.
Those bluish purples disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“What’s going on with you and Zhuang Xinglan?” Xuan Wushe settled the score after bidding his time.
Lin Zhan closed his eyes, “Go ask him.”
Xuan Wushe looked at Lin Zhan. “He said you are his wife.”
Lin Zhan opened his eyes suddenly and said with a face full of confusion, “How can he talk nonsense? Why don’t I, the person involved, know about such a thing?”
Xuan Wushe saw that he didn’t seem to be lying, so he continued, “Why did you send him a letter? Do you know that this kind of thing is an extremely serious provocation and betrayal for any high-ranking person?”
Lin Zhan coughed. “That’s why powerful people like you like to think wildly and think like a villain. I just happen to only know Zhuang Xinglan here, and he happens to be the only one who can help me.”
Xuan Wushe: “You want him to help you get out of here?”
Lin Zhan stared at him. “Yeah. Don’t tell me that you want to lock me up here for the rest of my life?”
Xuan Wushe smiled. He was already extremely beautiful, but when he smiled, he was so beautiful that people couldn’t take their eyes off him.
But this kind of smile contained slight ridicule and slight surprise in it, as if Lin Zhan had said something funny.
Lin Zhan: “What are you laughing at?”
Xuan Wushe: “Do you know who I am?”
Lin Zhan: “At the very least, we’ve slept together, and I was imprisoned here by you for four full months. If I said that I don’t even know who you are, I would be not putting you in my eyes.”
“It’s good that you know.” Xuan Wushe rubbed his fingers on Lin Zhan’s chin and narrowed his eyes. “I am a person who doesn’t ask much, but I have a few rules that cannot be violated by the people around me. I don’t want my person to be tainted with the smell of others, and I cannot tolerate betrayal—even if they are only thinking of it in their hearts, I will never tolerate it.”
Lin Zhan tilted his head, “Am I one of yours?”
Xuan Wushe pushed aside Lin Zhan’s clothes and stroked and teased Lin Zhan’s chest with his big hands.
“Whether or not you’re mine, don’t you know that in your heart?” Xuan Wushe acted frivolously, but his expression was very serious. “I never force others against their will, but from the very beginning, you offered yourself to me on your own initiative, so even if you are unwilling, you must stay by my side until I lose interest in you, understand?”
Lin Zhan could be sure that if he dared to say no at this time, his end would be very miserable.
He provoked someone he couldn’t afford to provoke.
This person was extremely domineering and arrogant, but he had the power to be worthy of such arrogance.
Fortunately, Lin Zhan was still full of interest in Xuan Wushe at this time.
So Lin Zhan also smiled at Xuan Wushe. “Your Majesty’s possessiveness is really frighteningly strong, and it just so happens that I think the same way.”
Under Xuan Wushe’s watchful eyes, Lin Zhan hooked his arms around Xuan Wushe’s neck. “I don’t like my person smelling like others as well. I hope that during our relations.h.i.+p, Your Majesty can take good care of your lower body and not have others.”
Xuan Wushe had always been calm and mature, and it was rare for him to show an incredulous expression when he heard the words.
“Are you putting forward the same conditions to me?” Xuan Wushe asked.
“It’s not raising a condition, but expressing my request.” Lin Zhan leaned over and kissed Xuan Wushe’s lips, like a chicken pecking at rice. “I know we are not equal in any way. I have neither the right nor the power to make any demands of you. But if Your Majesty wants a me whose body and mind both belong to you, then please allow this request, otherwise… I imagine Your Majesty won’t want just my body. After all, I am not very beautiful.”
Xuan Wushe stared at Lin Zhan for a moment.
He had never seen such a bold person before.
In fact, as early as after he took Lin Zhan for the first time, he had already sent someone to investigate Lin Zhan’s origins.
Lin Zhan was sold to the brothel by someone; he didn’t originally come from the brothel.
Moreover, Lin Zhan’s jerky reactions on the bed made it clear that he never had s.e.x before.
This was also the reason why Xuan Wushe could feel rest a.s.sured about keeping Lin Zhan by his side.
But Xuan Wushe wasn’t able to find Lin Zhan’s origins.
Now he wanted to know what kind of environment could raise someone with Lin Zhan’s boldness and shocking temperament.
Just when Lin Zhan’s heart had turned half cold, Xuan Wushe spoke.
“There are three people in my harem.” Xuan Wushe said, “But I have never touched them, and I will never touch these people in the future, but out of consideration for my mother’s face, I need to keep these three for the time being.”
Xuan Wushe said: “I’m not very l.u.s.tful.”
Lin Zhan: “…..”
You take your hands off of me before you say something like that.
However, if those verbal a.s.surances came from other men, Lin Zhan would probably sneer and think that the other party was lying to him, but from Xuan Wushe’s mouth, Lin Zhan could be sure that he was telling the truth.
Because there was no need to lie to him.
Such a high and powerful person had his own pride and dignity. Xuan Wushe would not need to bother to tell such lies.
Lin Zhan smiled, taking the initiative to move himself on top. “Okay.”
After that day, Lin Zhan never saw the maidservants who served him in the Lotus Garden again, and Lin Zhan didn’t ask where they went. After all, some people were used to flattering their superiors and stepping on their inferiors. Who wouldn’t get their shoes wet when walking by the river?
Xuan Wushe didn’t say anything about letting Lin Zhan move, but he didn’t restrict his freedom, allowing him to come and go from the Lotus Garden at will, but he couldn’t leave the capital, and when he went out, someone had to follow him.
Naturally, Lin Zhan didn’t see Zhuang Xinglan, and after he occasionally asked the people around him, he realized that Zhuang Xinglan was sent out to a village to clean up the demonic beasts that caused harm to the world and wouldn’t be able to return until after two or three years.
Lin Zhan felt a little lonely.
After all, in the entire Nine Lands, he only had Zhuang Xinglan as a friend with whom he could drink with and swear.
Of course he couldn’t do this with Xuan Wushe. People always wanted to desperately maintain their most perfect side in front of their sweetheart.
Xuan Wushe would visit the Lotus Garden every now and then. Most of the time, he would have s.e.x with Lin Zhan, and on a few occasions, he would just sit with him in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake and have a drink or two.
Slowly, Lin Zhan discovered that Xuan Wushe was sometimes a little childish.
“The three-tailed red fox was obviously caught by me after a lot of effort.” Xuan Wushe drank a little too much one day and laid on Lin Zhan’s lap to complain, “I raised it from a poor emaciated fox into a fat and strong fox with my own hands, but Father gave the red fox to others behind my back.”
When Xuan Wushe talked about the past, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, revealing a bit of grievance.
“That day when I went hunting with my friends, a side branch of the Xuan family who was close to the main branch came with a few children. They saw that the red fox was beautiful, so they clamored for it. When I found out that the red fox was gone, after inquiring, I went to those people to get the fox back, only to find that they had already killed the red fox.”
Lin Zhan was taken aback, “Didn’t they like it? Why did they kill it?”
Xuan Wushe snorted. “They just like to play tricks on the red fox. Besides, my peers hate me, and they always try to destroy my things.”
Lin Zhan gently stroked Xuan Wushe’s cheek with his palm, and said in a gentle voice, “It must be that His Majesty is too good, and they are jealous of His Majesty, that’s why they feel resentful.”
Like a big cat, Xuan Wushe’s eyes narrowed, comfortably letting Lin Zhan rub his face.
“You’re smart. They themselves are stupid, yet they don’t work hard, so they blame others for being smart. Isn’t that ridiculous?” Xuan Wushe sneered at this.
Lin Zhan nodded again and again. “At that time, Your Majesty must’ve been very sad, right?”
Xuan Wushe said lightly, “Rather than being sad, it was better to say that I felt anger. But they are all seven or eight-year-old children, how can they be so cruel? All living beings have spirits. Who has the right to kill wantonly?
Lin Zhan’s eyes were even more gentle, and he even smiled a little. “I never thought that a person like His Majesty, who can decide others’ life and death with a single thought, would be able to say such words.”
Xuan Wushe opened his eyes.
His eyes were dark and heavy, and there were vast stars hidden in them.
Looking at them, Lin Zhan felt that he could see the whole world.
“You think I’m willing to kill people?” Xuan Wushe said, “You’re wrong. I kill people because they want to kill me. I kill demonic beasts because they harm people. I have never killed someone who shouldn’t be killed, nor have I ever done anything that harmed heaven or the natural order. I, Xuan Wushe, can face both heaven and earth without a shred of guilt. As a person, I live with a clear conscience. As a monarch, I only hope that all my citizens can live in peace, no matter their age or cultivation.”
