The Villain Has Blackened Again

Little Eight was a bit nervous. “How many days has it been ah, you still haven’t said anything face to face, and this big boss still won’t let you in ah?”

However, Nan Xun was quite calm and collected. “An ancient man that has encountered countless human affairs and great changes; you still hope that he can hit it off right from the start with an inexperienced young girl like me? Just take it easy la, haste will ruin everything. If I show impatience at the very beginning, it will be easy for him to dislike me instead. Just wait for a while until he’s used to my existence, then it can be counted as me taking the first step.”

Every day, Nan Xun would put tea in front of the door of the inner hall at a fixed time. She would also bring food consistently and put it on the carved purple wood table in the outer hall, but there were no movements whatsoever from inside in response.

It wasn’t until a week later that the pot of tea that Nan Xun brought to him finally showed signs of being touched!

Nan Xun was a little excited.

She thought that the big boss would drink the tea and eat the food she served now, but after that one time, things went back to the way they were before. He didn’t make any movements again.

Nan Xun’s emotions went up and down, and she felt unwell all over.

There were no soft beds at her place, no furry animal cushions, and this big boss also had a dead face like someone owed him millions. She felt that her days had gone moldy.

Nan Xun hit her hard makeshift bed in the outer hall, and after a long sigh, she finally went to sleep on it.

She always slept like a dead person, but even while deeply asleep, she felt a sudden coolness envelop her. She couldn’t help but shiver.

Nan Xun struggled for a while before finally succeeding in ungluing her eyelids, and sat up in a daze.

Immediately, all her sleepiness was scared away.

F*ck, a white shadow was standing just three steps away from her. The tall figure blocked the slivers of light seeping from outside the window, making the entire outer hall dim.

Her breathing suddenly became heavier from the shock, and the shadow standing with its back to her suddenly moved slightly as it turned to one side.

Moonlight spilled inside from the crevices of the window, outlining a man’s flawless profile: a tall nose, long eyelashes that were lazily drooping from half-closed eyes, and a pair of thin and especially-rosy lips.

He wore the pure white gown casually, with the front side wide open, exposing a large area of his chest. Under the glow of the moonlight, it seemed to be illuminated with a light brilliance.

That man turned his head and glanced at Nan Xun lightly.

Facing the full moon outside the window, he raised his face slightly, and his thin lips moved a bit, as if sighing. “The full moon is here.”

Nan Xun was dumbfounded seeing him talking to himself, guessing that he might be treating her like air, or rather a dead object?

Nan Xun felt that she had accidentally stumbled on the truth.

Should she continue to lie down, or wait until the big boss entered the inner hall before continuing her sleep?

Nan Xun yawned before she slowly laid back down on her make-shift bed.

After a while, she heard very light footsteps, seeming like the big boss had returned to the inner hall.

However, not long after, he came back again.

This time, he was standing in front of Nan Xun directly. His eyes fell quietly on the woman’s face, and his voice was as cold and flat as ever when he spoke to her. “Girl, come and try my poisonous gu.”

Nan Xun: !

Nan Xun suddenly opened her eyes and saw that he had come out from the inner hall with an exquisite silver goblet in his hand.

She was very well aware of what was in that goblet.

“Little Eight, remember what I told you?” Nan Xun hurriedly asked Little Eight.

“Yes! Only block 90% of the pain, lest it looks too fake and he catches on!”

The man standing by her was as tall as bamboo. He bent slightly, and there were no ripples inside his cold eyes that lingered on Nan Xun for a long time.

“Girl, stretch out your arms,” he said, as his rosy lips curved slightly.

The still night seemed to be wrapped in a layer of sweet icing from this one slight smile, giving people the illusion of gentleness.

However, Nan Xun was still scared enough.

F*ck, this one smile was really incomparably beautiful, but it makes my hair stand on end!

After the initial shock, she obediently lifted up her wide sleeves, revealing the small jade-like arm of a woman.

Then, before Nan Xun had the time to blink, she saw a very small gu worm digging into her flesh, moving as fast as lightning!

The next moment, Nan Xun’s eyes widened dramitaclly, as if her eyeballs were about to pop open!

F*ck, f*ck! It hurts! F*cking hurts!

Even if 90% of the pain was blocked by Little Eight, the remaining 10% was still enough torture to make her wanted to faint.

Nan Xun suddenly understood why the original Li Yunduo had to stab herself to death. This 10 % of pain was enough to make her curl up on the floor like a dog. If it were 100%, then it would absolutely feel like being in hell alive!

She felt the gu worm gouging into her internal organs, taking bite after bite, slowly and leisurely.

At some point, Nan Xun really wanted to use magic to force the worm out of her body.

It was just too painful.

She couldn’t tell how long the pain went on for before the big boss finally took back the heart-eating gu. Nan Xun felt that she had probably lost half of her life already.

The man just glanced at her indifferently, and then returned to the inner hall with his gu goblet. When he left, he seemed to mutter something in a low voice, “It still doesn’t work.”

Nan Xun wailed, “I was really hurting to death just now.”

Little Eight hurriedly comforted her, “Don’t be afraid dear, you won’t be played to death by him. With me, I can still save you as long as you have a breath left!”

Nan Xun: …

The next four days were like a nightmare for Nan Xun.

The immortal-like big boss State Teacher asked her to try gu poison every night, making her hover between life and death. She almost couldn’t stop herself from biting him to death!

Finally, on the fifth day, the big boss stopped torturing her.

He didn’t come out from the inner hall that night.

Nan Xun looked out the window and found that tonight was a full moon.

She didn’t sleep well as she was worried that merciless big boss would suddenly appear at some point.

In her daze, Nan Xun heard the man’s low gasps coming from inside, filled with pain.

Nan Xun became sober at once.

“Little Eight, what happened to big boss?”

Little Eight was silent for a moment. “It’s nothing, just an old weakness because he can’t die.”

Nan Xun nodded, closed her eyes and continued her sleep.

“Wouldn’t ordinary people rush in with curiosity? Why are you different?” Little Eight was surprised.

Nan Xun yawned, “I’m sleepy ah, I want to sleep. Anyway, the big boss can’t die.”

Little Eight: …

This numb egg, I should have had expected it.

He hesitated to explain and was already thinking how to discourage her from peeping, but it just turned like this.

Early morning on the second day, she didn’t know if it was just a delusion, but she felt that the big boss looked at her a few times more often than usual.

TL NOTE:

*Work is piling up, problems popping out here and there*

Panda: "I'm sleepy ah, I want to sleep. Anyway, I won't die, right?..."
