Chapter 11—So I Won’t Dirty Your Bed Any Further
Mu Tianlang slowly opened his eyes . It was just that today, he was unaccustomed to the feeling of weakness that pervaded his body .
“You’re awake?” said Mo Qingli, who had been sitting by his side . Seeing that Mu Tianlang had opened both his eyes, her tone carried with it a relieved tone .
The rich glow of dusk streamed through the paper windows, the musky light scattering over her body and causing it to glow with warmth . The freshly awake Mu Tianlang could do little but stare blankly at her .
“Cough… cough…” Mu Tianlang hurriedly turned away his head and gave a curt nod, not wanting her to see the red blush that had formed on his face .
Hearing the sound of Mu Tianlang’s coughing, Mo Qingli mistakenly thought that he was still unwell . Worried, she wondered what had gone wrong—after all, over the past few days, Mo Qingli had been continuously transferring magic energy to him, speeding up his body’s rate of recovery .
Could it be their magic energies weren’t compatible? Mo Qingli wasn’t sure; this had been her first attempt in transferring energy .
No matter if it was man or demon, within the cultivation world, the strong ruled over the weak . She had never shown any vulnerability to anyone before, because it was only through being strong that she could continue to live on . Otherwise, her body have long been dismembered into a million pieces and used to further the internal cultivation of others .
She gently patted Mu Tianlang’s back . “Do you want to rest for a while first?”
“No need . ”
Mu Tianlang shifted his position on the couch, avoiding Mo Qingli’s hand . Holding back his moodiness, he coolly said, “What did my blood taste like?”
Mo Qingli couldn’t suppress the guilt that rose within her . “I’m sorry . I… at that time it was purely instinct, which is why I was… was like that . If I knew it was you, I wouldn’t have bitten you . ”
“What? You regret biting my wolf demon blood?! Do you think of my blood as dirty, undeserving for you to see?” Mu Tianlang said, staring profoundly at Mo Qingli .
Mo Qingli hurriedly shook her head . This bastard’s mouth was really too much, to accuse of her such a thing!
“I didn’t mean it like that . ”
Mu Tianlang pushed aside Mo Qingli, tearing away the blankets and getting off the bed . With a face so black it was practically dripping ink, he glared at her . “I suppose I should leave now, so I don’t dirty your bed any further . ”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about? I never said your blood was dirty! What are you doing, acting like this?” Humans were hard to understand, but so were demons .
Mu Tianlang ignored her, wearing his shoes and walking outside . Mo Qingli watched him leave, her cold expression sinking by several degrees . In one quick movement, she grabbed Mu Tianlang’s elbow, pulling him into her embrace .
Because Mu Tianlang had just woken up, and had not fully recovered yet, he didn’t want to use any magic energy to escape . Quickly, he found himself wrapped inside her arms .
“You jiangshi, what are you trying to do?” Mu Tianlang tried to struggle free to no avail .
Mo Qingli’s arms tightly suppressed the struggling Mu Tianlang, ferociously clamping him inside of her embrace . Her eyes furrowed together in concentration .
In a commanding tone, she shouted at him, “Don’t move!”
Her cold breath brushed past Mu Tianlang’s face, causing his recently calmed face to flare up again in red .
Hearing Mo Qingli’s demanding tone, Mu Tianlang’s nose wrinkled sourly . “You’re yelling at me?”
With his large stature, he often yelled at others, but who would dare to yell at him? Even his rival since childhood, Leng Hanling, did not dare to yell at him! All Leng Hanling dared to do was scold him!
But the woman in front of him, who he had even sacrificed his life energy for, dared to yell at him!
Mu Tianlang felt his heart become more and more upset, two translucent tears emerging from his azure blue eyes .
“That’s enough from you!” Seeing his wronged expression, Mo Qingli felt gloomy . “If I had known it was you, I wouldn’t bite you not because your blood was dirty, not because you’re a demon, but because… because I couldn’t bear to . ”
As she spoke, her face turned into a brilliant red color . For the past few days, she had stayed attentively by his bedside and slowly fed him back his magic energy . When she was too exhausted to continue she would lie by his side, watching him . Then, when her energy was replenished, she would return to this process . This was all for the sake of letting him recover quickly, so that he would be healthy again!
She didn’t understand this feeling inside of her heart . She loved Feng Chenling dearly, and felt ashamed and guilty towards Xiaoyao Yunyan .
As for Mu Tianlang, however, she didn’t know .

She didn’t want him to be ill, she hoped for him to recover quickly, she hoped that he would remain by her side . During the dead silence of night, when she sat by herself in the solace of her room, Mu Tianlang’s arrogant and cold face would appear in her mind, making it impossible not to think about him .
“You… what did you just say?” Hearing her words, Mu Tianlang’s tears disappeared .
Mo Qingli gave a gentle smile as she kneaded Mu Tianlang’s hair . “I can’t bear to see you hurt!”
“Who wants you to feel that way!” Mu Tianlang turned away his head, acting like he was indifferent to the entire matter . In actuality, however, his heart felt like springtime had arrived .
“Princess!” Outside, Yue Yao’s voice could be heard on the other side of the door .
“What is it!”
Yue Yao respectfully said, “The food is ready!”
Food? Mu Tianlang shot a glance at Mo Qingli . This jiangshi could eat human food?!
“You aren’t allowed to leave, hear that?” Mo Qingli threatened Mu Tianlang . Seeing him nod, she finally released him .
She cleared her throat . “Enter!”
Yue Yao’s work efficiency was extremely efficient . After a short while, a large table was brimming with dishes had been neatly set up and arranged . Yue Yao was sensitive enough to recall all of the servants and maids out with her as she left, not forgetting to close the door of the chamber as well .
This was the Princess’s benefactor, after all, who also seemed to be a great medical expert . If the Princess were to take him in, if any serious illnesses occurred within the residence, there would no longer be anything to worry about .
Yue Yao’s mood lifted as she congratulated herself on her plan .
Mo Qingli pulled Mu Tianlang to the table, pointing to the dishes . “Look, this is for you to eat . ”
“For me?” Mu Tianlang’s chin nearly dropped down to the floor in astonishment . “Isn’t it for you?”

Mo Qingli cast him a superlicious look, feeling slightly worried about this wolf’s IQ . “I’m a jiangshi, of course I can’t eat this . ”
Seeing Mo Qingli’s sarcastic look, Mu Tianlang rolled his eyes back at her . “I’m a demon . I won’t die if I don’t eat this kind of stuff either . ”
Afterwards, he prepared to leave the table .
Mo Qingli grabbed Mu Tianlang . Although her stature was small, her strength was comparable to his .
Pushing him back to the dining table, Mu Qingli couldn’t think of anything to say . She grabbed a large chicken drumstick, placing it in front of Mu Tianlang and demanding: “Eat . ”
“I don’t want to,” Mu Tinalang said, turning away his head . Didn’t she know that if he were to eat human food, it would negatively impact his demonic cultivation?
“Then drink some soup!” Mo Qingli grabbed a bowl, ladling some chicken soup into it and placing it in front of him . She had heard that this would replenish blood .
Mu Tianlang looked at it with disgust, refusing it again . “I won’t drink it!”
He really didn’t understand what this woman was trying to do, entreating him to eat these mortal dishes . Could it be that she had been stabbed silly?! Mu Tianlang began to suspect that something had happened .
Mo Qingli felt furious . Why were all of her “meals” so disobedient? This one refused to eat any food — how else was he supposed to replenish all of his blood?
She picked up the bowl of soup that Mu Tianlang had refused and began pouring it into her own mouth .
Mu Tianlang glanced at her — tsk, tsk, obviously she wanted to drink the soup herself! Why was she trying to force him to drink it, then? A jiangshi‘s line of thinking was really too complicated for a demon like him to comprehend .
Before Mu Tianlang could react, Mo Qingli ferociously stood up and grabbed Mu Tianlang’s back . Then, she forcefully pressed her cherry-red lips against Mu Tianlang’s mouth .
She didn’t care what Mu Tianlang thought, focusing only on forcing the chicken stock down his throat . With a “gu-lu” sound, she heard Mu Tianlang swallow all of the liquid .
Satisfied, she prepared to pull away her mouth . Who would have thought that Mu Tianlang’s hand was now pressing at Mo Qingli’s back, his lips wrapping tightly around hers and refusing to let go .

Mo Qingli didn’t know how to react . Subconsciously, she reached out a hand to push him away, only to hear him emit a low grown . At this moment, Mo Qingli realized that he hadn’t fully recovered yet, and that her actions might have injured him .
Taking advantage of Mu Tianlang’s groan, she quickly pulled herself away . “What are you doing? Let go!”
“No,” Mu Tianlang said, staring at Mo Qingli . His expression became filled with a deep profundity . “Mo Qingli, I once made an oath . Any woman that hurts me will either die or become mine . I don’t want you to die, so, will you be my woman instead?”
Mu Tianlang solemnly looked at Mo Qingli, slowly saying each and every word out with care . His current expression was different from usual, without any of his normal cruelty and arrogance . Now, there was only a faint trace of expectation, as well as a brimming nervousness of rejection .
Mo Qingli stared back at Mu Tianlang in a daze, her mind completely blanked out . She didn’t know how to respond to him . This was the first time in her life a man had ever so brazenly confessed to her . Now, she was at a loss of what to do .
Seeing Mo Qingli’s hesitation to reply, Mu Tianlang thought that Mo Qingli was unwilling to be his . His eyes filled with viciousness . Seeing her plump cherry-red lips, he lowered his head to gnaw on them .
“Ah…” Mo Qingli groaned, felt her lips erupt with a sudden pain . She stared resentfully at Mu Tianlang . Had this wolf gone insane? Why would he suddenly bite her?
She had always been the one to bite, and never the one to be bitten! Mu Tianlang had completely flipped the scales .
But Mo Qingli didn’t dare to use any force to push Mu Tianlang away . She was afraid in one careless move, she would cause him to fall into unconsciousness for the next few days .
Mu Tianlang’s tongue entered Mo Qingli’s mouth, pressing against her tightly clenched teeth . His hands had no such reservations either, resting on her small waist and slowly entering her inner robes .
Mu Tianlang pushed Mo Qingli onto the couch . When Mo Qingli tried to resist him, Mu Tianlang continued his assault on her mouth, not allowing her to express a single word .
He was afraid . He was afraid she would reject everything he had just said . He didn’t want to listen, or even to hear her speak .
“Tianlang, calm down . ”
As Mo Qingli spoke, her previously closed mouth opened again . Mu Tianlang took advantage of this moment, fearing that she would close herself to him forever afterwards . With one of his hands supporting her chin, he gently entered her mouth, feeling her soft tongue press against his own .
Her body was cold, her tongue was cold, and even her breath was as frigid as ice .
But what Mu Tianlang had fallen in love with was this cold . Now that it had penetrated the depths of his heart, it was far too late for him to free himself .
