ing against her, but they hadn't expected to end up shooting themselves in the foot. Just look at their faces that have suddenly changed color – it truly filled her with satisfaction!"West Ming Empero...His gaze fell upon her pale face, almost colorless, and Jun Liye's eyes darkened. His heart ached as if it were being cut a thousand times, his voice hoarse, "How are your injuries"

"Thanks to your good wishes, I'm not dead yet. I'm truly disappointing you, aren't I" Su Qingying stood up directly, lifting her face with a hint of irony. The smile was pale and desolate, revealing a terrifying coldness that pierced his eyes deeply.

"Ying'er, I'm so sorry!" With a long arm outstretched, Jun Liye tightly pulled her into his embrace, the force tremendous, as if wanting to grind her into his very bones and blood, never to be parted.

“Let me go!” After a moment of shock, Su Qingying immediately reacted, her eyes blazing red as she struggled against his restraints. “Jun Liye, what do you mean by this An apology You think an apology is enough Do you take me for something I can be summoned and discarded at will”

"Ying'er, I'm sorry..."

With no hesitation, she struck him on the chest with a palm strike imbued with three points of inner strength, forcing him to take several steps back. She coldly scanned his lips where a trickle of blood was oozing out. Su Qingying's phoenix eyes seemed to be piled with frost, cold and ruthless, "Get out! The moment you chose Zhao Ruqing, we were already severed, like water and fire. I said that we would be strangers from then on, no entanglement, please do not entangle me again!"

His words, like ten thousand silver needles, pierced his heart simultaneously. Jun Li's breath caught in his throat, and then he gritted his teeth, turning her shoulder over with force. Every word that followed was laced with consuming rage, "Sever the ties clean Su Qingying, you dare!"

"Why would I not dare!" A sharp pain shot through her shoulder, Su Qingying furrowed her brows slightly, her phoenix eyes gradually turning cold. She met his deep, narrowed gaze fearlessly, a smirk playing on her red lips, she coldly let out a snort, the curve of her mouth laced with mockery and ruthlessness, "There are thousands upon thousands of men in this world, and there's more than just you, Jun Liye! If it doesn't suit me, I'll simply change!"

“This king forbids it! This life, the next life, throughout eternity, you can only have this king as your man, Su Qingying, you are mine!” Jun Liye glared at her with intensity, his eyes turning dark and sinister in an instant. His crimson eyes were deep and bottomless like two whirlpools, brewing a storm that made one's legs tremble in fear.

Su Qingying was born with a rebellious spirit, and she couldn't stand any pressure. Upon hearing this, her brows furrowed, and her eyes turned even colder, "What... uh!"

Before she could finish her words, Jun Liye suddenly became enraged and pushed her down onto the table. His domineering and ferocious kiss overwhelmed her, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

Su Qingying gritted her teeth, refusing to let him in even an inch. He forcefully pushed his way in with an attitude that left no room for refusal, not giving her a moment to breathe. He began his relentless siege.

The air in her lungs was gradually being depleted, Su Qingying nearly suffocated by the kiss. Anger surged within her, her eyes hardened, and she bit down hard on his domineering tongue.

"Mmm…" A sudden sharp pain shot through his tongue, a crimson stain flowing down both their faces. Jun Li Ye's brows furrowed imperceptibly, but he didn't loosen his grip at all; instead, he deepened the kiss.

Forced to swallow the fresh blood from his tongue, a faint metallic taste filled her palate. Her eyes welled up, and her heart ached again, almost making it impossible for her to breathe.

A silver needle appeared silently between two fingers and pierced his acupoint on the back. Jun Liye's body suddenly went numb. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Qingying easily broke free from his restraints.

"Jun Liye! You let me go! Aren't you here to kill me for Zhao Ruoqing What are you doing" One punch after another, filled with fury and grievance, slammed into Jun Liye's chest. Su Qingying vented her anger with vicious force, her punches landing with absolute power.

"After fighting for so long, you feel better now" Jun Liye stood firm, letting her vent her frustration. The qi and blood within him surged and rose, but he forcibly suppressed it.

After punching for a long time, Su Qingying was now slightly out of breath. Seeing that he remained unresponsive, she felt bored, but the anger in her heart intensified even further. It was like punching cotton—no resistance at all.

"Get out!"

Her full, towering breasts heaved violently. Su Qingying trembled, pointing at the tightly shut door and yelling. She turned her head away, squeezing her eyes shut with all her might to hold back the tears welling up.

Gazing at her resolute and unwavering expression, Jun Li Ye's blood eyes flashed a hint of wry smile. It was truly self-inflicted, couldn't live!

Covering her aching chest, Jun Liye walked over with heartache and straightened her body, forcing her to look into his eyes. He let out a sigh, for the first time, lowering himself so humbly.

"Yinger, even if I'm sentenced to death, there should be a process, right Could you at least give me a chance to explain"

"If you have something to say, speak up. If you have to fart, let it out. And then get out of here!"

Su Qingying had already made up her mind to completely sever ties with him, but when she saw the pleading and heartbroken look in his eyes, she found herself inexplicably changing her tune. Though her tone remained harsh and cold, Jun Liye could still discern a faint hint of wavering in her words.

Seeing this, Jun Liye's heart suddenly filled with joy. Unable to help himself, he reached out and gently cupped her beautiful face in his palm, lightly kissing her red lips like a treasured jewel. His deep, sea-like eyes stared intently into hers, as if wanting to devour her.

"Ying'er, I haven't forgotten you, and I didn't choose Zhao Ruoqing. My heart is small, and from the beginning to the end, it could only hold one person, you."

His voice was incredibly gentle and sincere, his eyes intensely focused and doting. Su Qingying's heart suddenly felt like it was being gently fanned by feathers, and she couldn't help but feel a slight flutter of excitement.

"Hmph, you speak eloquently. But tell me, who was it that left me so badly injured today I remember every word you've said. Not a single one has been forgotten!"

Suppressing the agitation in her heart, she let out a cold snort and forcefully swatted his hand away. The upward curve of her lips remained, whether it was self-deprecation or mockery directed at him, was unknown.

Who would believe that

Seeing her resistance to his touch from the bottom of her heart, Jun Li Ye's heart clenched painfully. An indescribable pain filled his chest, his heart feeling empty and shattered.

"I had no choice but to explain in a low voice, revealing the truth: "Zhao Ruqing deliberately forced you to get close to her, taking advantage of the opportunity to let the Golden Cicada Gu in her body enter yours. The situation was urgent at that time. If I hadn't intervened, you would have suffered like the Emperor Dongyue, tormented by the Golden Cicada Gu. You are the woman I cherish most, how could I stand idly by and watch you fall into her trap!"

"

Let the golden cicada worm burrow into her body

Upon hearing this, Su Qingying's expression stiffened. Her eyes widened in surprise as she stared at him, her gaze seeming to melt the frozen ice within them.

No wonder she always felt Zhao Ruqing's behavior that day was strange, she didn't expect it to be like this!

If that's really the case, then Jun Liye is actually saving her! Did she really misunderstand him

"Since you haven't lost your memory, why did you pretend not to know me that day You stayed with her the whole time and didn't even give me a word"

This matter has always been a thorn in her side, especially his eyes when she saw him at the Chang Princess's Mansion. They were cold, distant, and devoid of warmth, almost worse than a stranger! Every time she thinks back, she gets chills., and he once again held her in his arms. "Yinger, your father truly has passed away, you don't have to..."Knowing he had misunderstood, Su Qingying wiped her eyes forcefully, once again wriggling out...
