ed out and pinched my face. He really pinched it, his big hand could slap my whole face flat.He deliberately rubbed against me, pinching my cheeks and shaking his head softly, “Little Yin Luo, in this...This pain can really make you cry.

Feed it according to its preferences, and let its mood dictate your temper.

The She Worm doesn't waste words, it firmly anchors itself in the most vulnerable part of a person's body. Whenever I disagree with it, it makes me suffer greatly.

It's just pain, it would be alright if I lost my temper, it might even poison me.

Feeling annoyed.

I clutched the screen with one hand and pressed my other hand to my stomach, bending over like a shrimp.

Mu Wanchen leaned down and picked up the bracelet, rubbing it gently in his hand.

I'm a bit flustered, that clang just now... could it have damaged this

I won't say how much this bracelet is worth.

This was something he placed on the altar, or perhaps a kind of token. I trampled on the "meaning" of this thing.

He said nothing, tucking the beads into his shirt.

I thought he was leaving, after all, with just one turn, he could disappear like a water ripple's shadow.

It hurts so much, and I'm so angry.

I'm so irritable, he's still so calm.

He lowered his head slightly and walked in from behind the carved screen, reaching out to lift me into his arms.

Without entering my bedroom, he turned and sat on the kang in the outer room, placing me on his lap.

In the dark, I sat like this on his lap, hearing only my own heavy breathing besides me.

This intimate distance, like a trance, brought me back to the night I was awakened by excruciating pain.

"Yin Lu, stop teasing me." His breath brushed lightly against my neck, causing me to let out a soft whimper.

"I'm looking for you, no one else can help me raise the female gu. I know this isn't fair to you, so within my capabilities, I can agree to anything you want, as long as you behave and don't cause trouble."

He spoke to me in a low voice, right by my ear, and the tingling sensation was driving me crazy.

"This thing is too difficult to raise!" I couldn't help grinding my teeth, "It's too demanding!"

He chuckled softly and shook his head slightly. "Compared to you, I think it's very obedient and well-behaved."

Damn it...

"Yin Lu, I have many ways to force you. I can lock you away where no one can find you, or poison you, making you accept anything for a cure. I could even threaten you with the people and things you hold dear. But I don't want you to harbor resentment, to raise some kind of venomous creature. It's entirely up to you what kind of venomous insect you cultivate." He warned me in a low voice, "If you raise a monstrous evil, you will be the first to be consumed by it."

What are we going to do Drag around this ticking time bomb.

"How long do we have to keep it..." I asked, hugging his neck.

As long as they got closer, the pain in their body could be relieved. This female silkworm must miss her husband.

Mu Wanchen pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "I can't say exactly when. It has been many, many years since I last trained."

"Then wouldn't I be controlled by it forever What are you going to do about it When it gets upset and wants to find a husband, where am I supposed to find one for it!"

Mu Wanchen shook his head and whispered in my ear, "If you're in pain, I'll be with you. If you don't want me near you, I can disappear."

This statement oddly sounded to me like a forced concession.

The text content inside the tags "" needs to be provided for translation. Please give me the text you want translated, like this:>Then I can translate it into English for you!

The leader of such a peculiar group could actually speak so meekly.

I don't even know how to adjust my mood.

"Well, this can't go on forever..." I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

"What kind" he asked.

Thus, clinging so closely in the darkness.

I feel a bit hot, and a few tiny beads of sweat appear on my forehead.

"What if I have a boyfriend or even a husband in the future, and this damn female Gu still hasn't been raised Will I still have to hold you to relieve this pain" I asked defiantly.

I heard him chuckle softly behind me.

"Yin Luo, who else do you want You can refuse me, you can resist, but Ci Gu only acknowledges you. This speaks volumes..."

"What's the problem"

"Who else do you want to be the wife of Who else could you be the wife of" His tone was very certain, as if he were saying, he could do without me, but I'd be unwanted without him

I was so angry I didn't know what to do. I shouted, "Didn't you just say I wasn't qualified Well, I already have someone else! What difference does it make to you!"

He remained silent, his profile as cold and hard as jade.

I'm so frustrated.

I reached out to grab his mask. What does this guy think he's doing, not showing his face all this time!

He tilted his head slightly to avoid my hand and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing"

"Look at his face!"

"No."

"What the heck!" I reached behind him, trying to find the strap of his mask.

Mu Wanchen easily grasped my two arms, pulling me forward, and with one hand, he secured my wrists.

"Why hide it Your face is there to be seen, isn't it! What's so shameful about it" I struggled angrily.

After struggling and sweating, all efforts proved futile.

When I was panting, he finally said in a faint voice: "…I'm afraid I scared you."

"Three eyes or two noses! Even ghosts couldn't scare me to death, could you be scarier than a ghost" I said through gritted teeth.

He chuckled lightly, shaking his head. "We'll talk about it later," he said, "there will always be a day when the truth comes out—"

I... I'm so angry I can barely contain myself.

He didn't yell at me or use violence, he just held me as I cried.

After it was all over, nothing had changed.

The night was long and cold.

I was getting a little uncomfortable with the heat, so I pushed his shoulder.

"Did you see the two identical attics in this courtyard" I asked him.

Mu Wanchen nodded. "I saw it."

"Over there, that's my sister Yin Yue's room. Everything inside is the same... You, did you get the wrong person I'm not the one you're looking for!"

Mu Wanchen let out a cold snort: "The person I'm looking for is named Yin Luo. Born on the thirtyrd day of the first lunar month in the year Geng Chen, during the驚蟄 (Jingzhe) period in this city, tell me, who should I look for"

I...

"Why did you know to come find me"

He even got my birthday right! How is that possible!that Mu Wanchen gave me, and the small box of silver needles from home.When I was drawing talismans, I knocked over a paper man.The paper figure was blown by a gust of cold wind as it fell to the grou...
