Gu Yuena Played Dirty? A Sudden Kiss!

"Bang!"

"Hiss..."

Gu Yunxiao sucked in a sharp breath. A black ring had appeared around his right eye.

"Gu Yunxiao, if I don't beat you to death today, I'll take your surname!" Gu Yuena sneered coldly and swung her fist down again.

"???"

Gu Yunxiao looked utterly baffled. Somehow, those words sounded familiar.

But Gu Yuena's fist interrupted his thoughts once again.

"Bang!"

A black ring appeared around Gu Yunxiao's left eye too.

And just like that, Gu Yunxiao had earned himself a pair of panda eyes.

Yet Gu Yuena still refused to stop. Her fists rained down, ignoring his body and going straight for his face.

"Stop, stop, stop... hiss..."

Gu Yunxiao tried to get up, but Gu Yuena was sitting on him, pinning his lower body so he could neither move nor rise.

Worse still, the spot Gu Yuena was sitting on... was rather unfortunate.

"Hmm?"

As she pummeled him, Gu Yuena suddenly noticed something strange. Her eyes widened, and her cheeks flushed. "Gu Yunxiao, you actually dared to..."

"Bang!"

Another punch deepened Gu Yunxiao's panda eyes.

"Gu Yuena, that was an instinctive reaction! Perfectly natural! You're beating me for that too?" Gu Yunxiao looked indignant.

"Hmph!"

Gu Yuena huffed and quickly got off him. A faint blush still lingered on her face, impossible to hide even beneath her veil.

Only then could Gu Yunxiao get up.

"Every time you hit me, you go for my face. I'll remember this grudge." Gu Yunxiao rubbed his face, utterly speechless.

"Who told you to make me angry?"

Gu Yuena tipped her chin up slightly, looking proud. "You can cultivate here with that face. I'll restore it for you tomorrow."

"You really think there's nothing I can do?" Gu Yunxiao smiled meaningfully.

"Hmm?"

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow, her voice indifferent. "If you can undo it yourself, I'll apologize to you immediately."

"All right. You said it."

Gu Yunxiao smiled and activated the power of heavenly tribulation within him, using it to dispel the power lingering on his face.

Then he used his soul power to heal himself.

"!!!"

Under Gu Yuena's gaze, Gu Yunxiao's face recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You..." Gu Yuena was about to ask how he had done it when she immediately remembered the power of heavenly tribulation. "You cheated!"

"I'm not the one trying to wriggle out of this, am I?"

Gu Yunxiao gave her a lingering, teasing look. "Na'er, I'm waiting for your apology."

"You!"

Gu Yuena seethed, sorely tempted to beat him up again.

"Na'er, as the Silver Dragon King and the sovereign of the Soul Beast Clan, you wouldn't want the outside world to know you don't keep your word, would you?"

Gu Yunxiao walked up beside her and leaned close to her ear, teasing her softly.

At those words, Gu Yuena's lovely face beneath her veil flushed with embarrassment.

After a long silence.

"S... sor..."

Gu Yuena was just about to apologize.

Instead, Gu Yunxiao suddenly wrapped his arms around her, lifted her veil with one hand, and swiftly kissed those cool, breathtakingly beautiful lips.

It all happened so quickly that she did not even have a single breath to react.

Gu Yuena's eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at Gu Yunxiao, who was kissing her.

For a moment, she failed to react. Her lips were still forming the words "I'm sorry," giving Gu Yunxiao the perfect chance to take an inch and push past her teeth.

"Mmph???"

Gu Yuena was utterly bewildered, frozen for a long moment before she finally came to her senses.

But it was already too late. Gu Yunxiao had already thoroughly plundered her mouth.

Gu Yunxiao was the first person who had ever dared to be so brazen with her!

"Gu! Yun! Xiao!"

Gu Yuena flew into a rage. She bit down hard on his tongue and refused to let go, even when she tasted the metallic sweetness of blood.

At that moment, she was furious!

But beneath that fury lay endless embarrassment.

"Hiss, vicious. Still worth it."

Feeling the pain in his tongue, Gu Yunxiao steeled himself and simply ignored it.

She kept biting; he kept kissing.

The two remained locked in that stalemate, neither willing to yield.

Gu Yuena bit down harder and harder. Gu Yunxiao could clearly feel the deep bite mark in his tongue, with blood spilling out unstoppably.

Even when their "kiss" had stained their lips with blood, they still did not separate.

It was not that Gu Yunxiao did not want to pull away. Gu Yuena had his tongue caught between her teeth.

If he forcibly withdrew it, one wrong move might get his tongue bitten clean off.

Left with no choice, Gu Yunxiao continued kissing her.

Time trickled by, though neither knew how long had passed.

The force of Gu Yuena's bite gradually eased. She shoved Gu Yunxiao away, her face furious. "Gu Yunxiao, you bastard!"

At that moment, his blood filled her mouth and stained her lips.

Gu Yunxiao's own lips were crimson as well.

"That hurt like hell."

Gu Yunxiao stuck out his tongue and activated his soul power to heal it.

Although the wound was closing rapidly, he could not forget the excruciating pain of that tearing bite.

"Gu Yunxiao, you'd better give me an explanation!"

Gu Yuena stepped forward and grabbed his collar, her face burning with embarrassment and anger. "Otherwise, you'll spend the rest of your life here! You'll never leave!"

"The Soul Beast Clan and the Dragon Clan won't need you anymore either. I can handle everything myself!"

His actions had truly infuriated her.

He had kissed her without her consent. If she had not retained a shred of reason, there would have been nothing left of him-not even his bones.

"I like you. No explanation."

"Staying here forever works too. I don't mind lying back and doing nothing."

Gu Yunxiao smiled faintly, perfectly calm.

"You call that liking me? You're just lustful!" Gu Yuena glared fiercely at him. "Gu Yunxiao, you lecher!"

"Mm."

"You scoundrel!"

"Mm."

"..." Gu Yuena was left speechless, with no idea what else to say.

Gu Yunxiao was simply too shameless!

And she could not truly bring herself to kill him.

For one thing, Gu Yunxiao carried the Heavenly Tribulation Demon Dragon bloodline and was their hope for the future.

For another, her heart could not bear it.

So she could only swallow this "loss" herself.

The only good news was that she had tasted quite a bit of Gu Yunxiao's blood, which would greatly help her heal her injuries and increase her strength.

But she was still angry.

Seeing Gu Yuena so furious yet at a loss for words, Gu Yunxiao suddenly stepped forward. His smile faded, and his expression turned solemn. "Na'er."

"Hmph!"

Gu Yuena snorted coldly and turned away, refusing to acknowledge him.

"Whether you believe it or not, my desire for you is real, and so are my feelings for you. I'm not joking about this."

"I won't forget the responsibility I carry, and I certainly won't use it to threaten you."

"To me, you and that responsibility are equally important. I won't give up either."

Gu Yunxiao placed his hands on Gu Yuena's shoulders and turned her around.

No matter how her gaze wandered, she could not escape his eyes. In the end, she could only meet his gaze.

"..."

Gu Yuena remained silent. Her face seemed expressionless, but deep inside, that inexplicable joy grew stronger and stronger, until she could scarcely contain it.
