"How did you fall like that? Are you hurt?"
I looked up in confusion, meeting Jun Chong's anxious gaze. His hair was slightly disheveled, and his breath was uneven, as if he had rushed over suddenly. He helped me up and examined me closely from head to toe.
I didn't respond, but an elderly woman nearby chuckled, "Little girl, with a man who cares for you like this, you should cherish him. There aren't many lifelong loves in life; if it's yours, hold on tight! Once you miss it, it won't come back."
The old woman smiled as she walked into the house, her steps unsteady and her back hunched. She moved slowly, one hand resting behind her.
"Anxin, let me take you to rest."
Without hesitation, Jun Chong picked me up and carried me outside. Grandfather's House was not far from the village chief's home; with Jun Chong's strength, it would only take a moment. Grandpa stayed behind at the village chief's house to maintain the overall situation.
The Full Moon hung in the sky, dispelling the darkness of the earth. The empty street was eerily quiet, filled with an ominous atmosphere.
I remained silent during the walk. Jun Chong held me gently as we strolled along the roadside. I leaned against his chest, feeling that familiar coolness, and then wrapped my arms around his neck.
I could clearly sense him stiffen at my touch. With a hint of bitterness, I lifted my head and said, "Jun Chong, I'm sorry."
"Why do you need to say sorry?"
"Because I... I—" I bit my lip several times before finally confessing, "I didn't consider your feelings and spoke those self-righteous words. On the surface, it seemed like I was thinking of you everywhere, but in reality, I was just being arrogant. So, I'm sorry."
"You silly girl, I don't need your apology. It's good that you said it; otherwise, I wouldn't have known how deep your love for me runs while I've given you nothing but hurt."
As Jun Chong spoke, he pushed open the door and led me upstairs, his eyes never leaving mine. "So the one who should be saying sorry is me."
"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Jun Chong placed me on the bed and tried to pull away, but I grabbed his hand. Looking into those dark eyes, I stammered, "The Zombie was right. I'm not as indifferent as I seem; it actually bothers me that you all treat me like a shield."
"I didn't think it through. I also said that as long as you're not angry, you can do whatever you want." Jun Chong suddenly leaned closer, his handsome face filling my vision, causing an inexplicable flutter in my heart. "What do you want from me?"
My ears burned, and my cheeks felt hot. I shrank back on the bed, holding onto his hand, but he tightened his grip. "Jun, I—I don't want anything from you. As long as you're okay, that's enough."
"Anxin, do you know how charming you look when you blush?"
His deep voice carried a captivating rasp that quickened my heartbeat as he drew nearer. I couldn't meet his gaze.
"Anxin, can I have you?"
"I—I— but the child is here." I was at a loss for words, my hands trembling and my face burning. How could I refuse him? He was Jun Chong.
"With the Qilin Hairpin here, it won't dare to act." Jun Chong brushed aside the hair from my forehead, his red lips just inches away. "So what reason do you have left? If you don't speak up, I'll take that as a yes."
Though he said that, his hands were already starting to move. So when it came to this kind of thing, one couldn't trust anything a man or Male Ghost said!
A cold touch against my skin sent shivers through me; it felt cool yet pleasant. Unable to hold back, I let out a sound. Jun Chong smiled and bit my earlobe, his rich voice teasing the edges of my nerves. "Does it feel good? Let me hear your voice; don't hold back."
"Ah—"
I gasped, prompting a chuckle from Jun Chong. Annoyed, I swatted at him, my face so red it felt like it might bleed. "Don't laugh."
"Should I cry instead?" With a swift motion, he easily slipped off my dress. "You wouldn't want that. Anxin, kiss me."
Jun Chong lay beside me, his large hand moving back and forth, soothingly coaxing, "Anxin, kiss me."
"But I don't know how."
"It's okay. Just think about how I've kissed you, and do the same. It's very simple."
Jun Chong's slightly hoarse voice had a dreamy quality to it, like a gentle caress that stirred something deep within me. I knew he wouldn't let this go easily, so I slowly leaned in to meet his lips.
In my mind, I imagined how he would kiss me. My tongue hesitantly pried open his lips, slowly slipping inside and moving clumsily. I felt awkward, but he closed his eyes, completely lost in the moment.
Suddenly, Jun Chong's other hand reached around my neck and held the back of my head firmly, preventing me from pulling away.
Whether on the battlefield or elsewhere, a counterattack is always fierce. My body turned soft and powerless under his touch, completely at his mercy.
Jun Chong's kisses trailed down my body, leaving marks everywhere. The curtains fluttered in the breeze, casting silver moonlight that danced across the floor like scattered stars.
No one spoke; only the sound of our racing heartbeats filled the air. Though it wasn't my first time, I still felt nervous.
"Don't be afraid; I won't hurt you."
Jun Chong lowered his head to kiss me again, urging me to relax completely. I sensed his restraint and intended to reciprocate, but just then, an abrupt voice shattered the moment.
"Jun Chong, Lin Shan has appeared."
Jun Chong waved a hand toward the door and quickly covered me with the blanket. Molin approached the door and found himself unable to enter, urging, "Jun Chong, are you in there?"
"Here."
"What are you doing in there? Is Anxin inside? Lin Shan's target must be her. Even if she only has the Soul-Calling Bell, she's still dangerous. I need to take her to a safe place."
Molin was stubbornly trying to break in, while Jun Chong's lips twitched in anger. He lowered his voice and said, "Anxin is sleeping. Be quiet. I'll protect her myself. You go ahead; I'll be there soon."
"But Shishu said she's mad at you. Will she listen to you?"
If looks could kill, Molin would have been dead by now. I watched as Jun Chong's face darkened, struggling to hold back my laughter. Jun Chong shot me a glare and pinched my waist. Before I could scream, he kissed me, taking advantage of the moment.
"Serves her right for being single her whole life," Jun Chong scoffed. "You go tell her I've found the Soul Bell. Chitaki knows what to do next."
"Is that really okay?"
"Yes, hurry up. Otherwise, you'll miss your chance and die a miserable death."
"Then I'll go first; you hurry."
Molin's voice gradually faded away, and I finally burst into laughter, leaning on Jun Chong as I laughed heartily. Jun Chong raised an eyebrow and leaned closer, teasingly pinching me again. "Are you laughing at me?"
"I wouldn't dare." I stifled my laughter and pushed him away. "Didn't you say that Zombie was injured? Refine Ghost is a holy medicine. Now that Lin Shan has appeared, did you get it wrong?"
"Lin Shan's appearance means she's definitely injured, and her goal is the Soul-Calling Bell. That Zombie will need healing, which will inevitably harm Lin Shan's soul, and the Soul-Calling Bell is the best remedy for her right now. When I saw them in the ancient tomb, I knew that Zombie had the nemesis of Refine Ghost. Lin Shan promised to help him in exchange for getting it. Later on, I accidentally discovered something that confirmed Lin Shan's nemesis was that Zombie, but she didn't know it, which is why we acted that way. Don't worry; Chitaki came this time to kill Refine Ghost. With her help, we can get you through this crisis because this flower—"
Jun Chong touched the Red Spider Lily blooming at my heart under the moonlight, its brilliance shining brightly. "If you don't remove it soon, you'll truly die."
“How confident are you?”
“Eighty percent,” Jun Chong said, lowering his head to kiss me. “If it weren’t for this, it would be a hundred. But don’t worry, this time I won’t let you get hurt again.”
“I believe you. But I want to go with you.”
“I knew you wouldn’t agree to stay behind. Get up and put on your clothes.”
Jun Chong carried me as we leaped through the darkness. Suddenly, I remembered that Lin Shan also had a White Pearl of Jun Chong’s in her possession, and I quickly told him. After hearing this, Jun Chong replied, “I found one a while ago, so that makes six.”
I was instantly delighted. “That’s great! We can unlock the first layer of the seal right away, and it brings you one step closer to reclaiming your body.”
Jun Chong pursed his lips and didn’t respond. In the distance, I could vaguely see a three-way standoff. The intense Blood Taste emanating from Lin Shan was unusually pungent. Jun Chong set me down and then took out something to put on my right hand.
I immediately felt a warm force spreading from my right hand, coursing through my entire body, and I suddenly felt invigorated. Jun Chong’s expression shifted slightly.
“The Qilin Hairpin is sealed within you to guard the Demon Fetus, so it can’t be used. This is the Phantom Spirit Pearl; it creates a protective barrier. As long as you envision what you desire in your heart, it will materialize. If you encounter danger, just imagine what you need, and it will become real.”
“Is it really that amazing? It feels wrong for you to give this to me. What if I lose it?”
Jun Chong smiled gently and patted my head. “This was left to me by an old friend; now I’m giving it to you. If it doesn’t fall off when you wear it, that means it has accepted you. Just stand here and wait for me.”
