Chapter 11: Kiss Again

Jiang Rong’s presence completely scattered Xie Lingxi’s fierce aura.

He stared intently at the small person in front of him, momentarily unable to tell if he was crazy or if Jiang Rong was.

What did he hear?

Jiang Rong said he was her hero of unparalleled might.

“Husband said he kills for fun, but I don’t think you are happy,” Jiang Rong’s beautiful large eyes looked at him intently.

“Because I haven’t killed enough.”

“Then continue, kill them all,” Jiang Rong’s eyebrows curved slightly, and her slender, jade-like fingers rested on his forehead, gently rubbing it:

“Kill until you are happy.”

Xie Lingxi lowered his eyes to look at her, a strange emotion lingering in his heart.

Xiao Nanxing, who was standing nearby, was already dumbfounded.

What was the Crown Princess saying? An ordinary young lady would probably be scared pale upon hearing that the Young Master killed someone, but she said, it’s good, keep killing, kill until you are satisfied.

What kind of crazy talk is this?

For a moment, he didn’t know whether the Young Master was more terrifying or the Crown Princess was more terrifying.

These two were not normal people.

“Husband, the candied fruit you bought for me was especially delicious. I liked it very much, thank you, Husband!” Jiang Rong praised him as if nothing had happened.

She came to find Xie Lingxi specifically to praise him.

After Jiang Rong left—

Xie Lingxi was silent for a long time, then looked at Xiao Nanxing, “Will the Underworld Poison damage her brain?”

“I only heard that it is unbearable pain when it flares up, I haven’t heard that it affects the brain…” Xiao Nanxing hesitated for a moment.

He had never seen a second person who survived the Underworld Poison, so he really wasn’t sure about the specific symptoms.

“However, looking at the Crown Princess’s unusual behavior, it cannot be ruled out that the Underworld Poison has entered her brain…”

Xie Lingxi fell silent again, and after a long time, he said, “Speed up the search for the antidote.”

“Yes.”

The image of the little girl’s eyes appeared in Xie Lingxi’s mind, bright and sparkling like stars. If it wasn’t the Underworld Poison entering her brain, then, was she faking it?

He would test her again.

What exactly did Jiang Rong want to do?

…

Late at night, her beloved had not returned.

Jiang Rong finished bathing and changing, and sat by the window drying her hair. The candlelight flickered, and she idly tapped the chess pieces, causing the lamp wick to bloom.

“Crown Princess, the Young Master is back!” Cui Yu reported.

Jing Zhe helped the swaying Xie Lingxi into the room.

Jiang Rong immediately put down the chess piece in her hand, got up to help, and asked with concern, “Is the Young Master drunk?”

“The Young Master was in a bad mood today and drank a few more cups…” Jing Zhe explained.

“You may withdraw, just leave it to me here,” Jiang Rong instructed, then said to Cui Yu:

“Go make a pot of hangover soup for the Young Master.”

“Yes.”

Jing Zhe and the others withdrew.

Before long, Cui Yu brought the hangover soup.

The soup was scalding hot. Jiang Rong placed it aside to cool. When it was no longer too hot to drink, she gently pushed Xie Lingxi:

“Husband, get up and drink the hangover soup.”

The person sleeping on the couch seemed to be deeply drunk, completely still.

“Crown Princess, the Young Master is probably unconscious and can’t drink the soup,” Cui Yu said softly:

“You might as well rest early and let the Young Master drink it tomorrow.”

Jiang Rong’s dark eyebrows furrowed slightly. If he slept while drunk, he would definitely have a headache when he woke up tomorrow.

“You all go down.”

The maids in the room withdrew, leaving only the young couple.

Xie Lingxi, lying motionless on the couch, was in fact on high alert.

If Jiang Rong wanted to kill him, the best opportunity would be while he was drunk and unconscious.

The faint scent of orchids from the woman gradually approached.

Her thin lips covered his.

Something wasn’t right?

Xie Lingxi’s eyes snapped open instantly…

Their eyes met.

A mouthful of hangover soup was intertwined between their lips.

“Young Master, you’re awake!” Jiang Rong’s cheeks flushed, and she handed him the soup bowl, “Then… then you drink it yourself?”

Xie Lingxi was momentarily stunned.

He was waiting for her to make a move, and she finally did…

It was just that the way she made her move was beyond his expectation.

Carelessness led to the loss of his first kiss.

Seeing Xie Lingxi staring at her with an unpredictable expression, Jiang Rong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized, her husband must want to kiss me again!

Jiang Rong obediently pounced on him and pecked him again!
