Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Sister-in-law, What’s Wrong with Your Mouth?

Feeling someone press close to her ear, Qi Yu trembled all over.

Only when she recognized the familiar voice did she let out a sigh of relief, swatted away the hand wrapped around her waist, turned around, and glared at this person with reproach, "You think this is funny?"

The person was none other than Li Mingjue, who had infiltrated Evil Valley together with Shiqi a while ago.

In order not to startle the snakes, he had lain low in the shadows, quietly watching every move of Evil Valley.

It wasn’t until he saw Qi Yu treating Liu Wensheng that he couldn’t help himself but sneak into her room late at night.

He had intended to come and blame her, but after this little scene, the one who was being blamed turned out to be himself.

Qi Yu didn’t bother with him, just shut the window herself, and then lit a candle.

Once the room was bright again, she sat by the bedside, silently watching the uninvited man who had scared her, "Tell me, when did you get here?"

Watching her serious demeanor as if interrogating him, Li Mingjue found it somewhat amusing. His cold and stern features softened as he settled down beside her, drew her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, "I’ve been looking for two days, and only just found this place."

His warm breath on her ear made Qi Yu’s ear itch, and she tried to dodge to the side.

But her whole body was tightly embraced by Li Mingjue; there was nowhere to hide.

What was even more maddening was that Li Mingjue seemed to never tire of teasing her.

Seeing this, he became even more relentless, his cool lips directly brushing against her earlobe, frightening the person in his arms into a shiver.

He chuckled softly, clearly very satisfied with her reaction.

Qi Yu, annoyed and embarrassed, slapped him, "Be more serious!"

Li Mingjue laughed lightly and even deliberately asked, "When have I ever been unserious?"

In terms of shamelessness, he still won.

Qi Yu gave up completely and slumped into his arms, "Alright, alright, you’re the most serious."

Li Mingjue found her look of resignation very cute, couldn’t resist, leaned in, and pressed his lips against her blushing ones, tumbling together intimately.

Gradually, Qi Yu felt as if the air in her lungs was being sucked away bit by bit; she weakly punched him, signaling him to let go.

Li Mingjue reluctantly parted after nibbling on her lip, savoring the taste.

Qi Yu’s limbs felt soft, and she lay in his warm embrace, her tone lazy as she chided, "No one does it like you."

"Hmm?" Li Mingjue asked with a low chuckle, "What about me?"

Qi Yu, remembering how she had been manhandled just before, felt dissatisfied and propped herself up to bite down hard on his lips, as if to vent her frustration.

"Hiss—"

She really bit him with force, making Li Mingjue’s lip bleed a little, and he winced in pain.

"Now do you realize how excessive you were?" Qi Yu said, looking smugly satisfied at him, raising an eyebrow in query.

Li Mingjue shook his head helplessly, brought her back to the bed, pulled up a thin blanket, and covered them both.

The night had deepened, and with so many things having happened today, Qi Yu was too exhausted to talk any further, and fell into a heavy sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

When she woke up, it was already broad daylight.

If she hadn’t heard the voice of the young fellow outside the door, she wouldn’t have bothered to even open her eyelids.

However, Song Ting was anxious not seeing her and kept knocking and calling from outside the door, "Cousin, are you up yet?"

Qi Yu rubbed her bleary eyes and yawned.

When her brain finally cleared up, she noticed that the spot beside her was already empty.

It seems he has hidden away again.

Last night, within the haze, she vaguely heard Li Mingjue mention something, but she was so overcome with sleepiness at the time that she didn’t take much notice.

She only remembered him saying that they couldn’t startle the snakes for now and that he would continue to investigate the dealings within Evil Valley from the shadows.

At the time, hearing the name Evil Valley made Qi Yu speechless for a while.

But, it seems like a name that pervert could come up with.

Regaining her consciousness, the knocking outside became more urgent.

Qi Yu could only quickly climb out of bed, dress herself properly, and then open the door for Song Ting.

Seeing her safe and sound, Song Ting’s furrowed little face relaxed.

However, he soon frowned again and pointing at Qi Yu’s red lips, he asked, "Cousin-in-law, what happened to your mouth?"

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment and touched her lips, realizing that the dog of a man seemed to have bitten her last night indeed.

Remembering the intimacy of the previous night, her face flushed, and she said to Song Ting with an air of authority, "Little kids shouldn’t ask too many questions, understand?"

Song Ting nodded, puzzled.

Although he didn’t know why, he believed his cousin-in-law’s words were always right, and he just needed to follow them.

After breakfast, Qi Yu pushed open the door to Liu Wensheng’s room to check on his condition.

Having been poisoned with Soft Muscle Powder, Liu Wensheng was still weak all over, powerless to do anything but allow this bold woman to insert needles into his body.

However, today he also noticed the striking mark on her red lips.

Could it be from a fever?

Qi Yu removed the silver needles and, facing his resentful gaze, touched her nose somewhat embarrassed, "Stop looking at me like that, I’m treating you."

Liu Wensheng indeed diverted his gaze.

But the curiosity in his eyes remained undiminished.

From the way his back wound had been gradually healing, she clearly had medical skills.

Yet, why would she save him?

Qi Yu wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, poured herself a cup of tea from the teapot on the table, and after a few sips, she felt revived.

Performing acupuncture indeed was an exhausting activity.

She sat back in the lounge chair and met Liu Wensheng’s inquisitive look with a faint smile, "Are you wondering why I would save you?"

Liu Wensheng’s lips moved slightly, but the words that came out were different, "You could have simply killed me."

After all, he could only lie there, at the mercy of others, no different from a waste.

In the Jianghu, everyone wanted to kill him.

But none of those people could stand more than a few moves against him, either fleeing in a panic or dying by his sword.

Some, he had locked away in the dungeon.

No one could get close to him.

Unexpectedly, the one who finally subdued him was a person who didn’t know martial arts at all.

Liu Wensheng hooked his lips in self-mockery.

As for why she didn’t kill him, perhaps it was merely because doctors had compassionate hearts.

In but the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Qi Yu saw his expression change again and again, unsure what he was imagining.

This matter, when brought up, really wasn’t that complicated.

She spoke lightly, "I didn’t kill you not just because doctors have compassionate hearts. More importantly, I simply didn’t want to kill you."

"Why?" Liu Wensheng genuinely froze.

He had committed many heinous crimes, and in the Jianghu, everyone condemned him.

Moreover, he was the very cause of her being trapped here.

Facing his astonishment, Qi Yu remained composed. She chuckled lightly, her tone playful, "Because, rather than killing you, I’m more curious about the story behind you."
