After Becoming the Hero’s Ex-fiancée Chapter 129

A Provocation (1)

Xuan Yi Pavilion was back to being full of lively chatter. Music and dance went on in the main hall and drifted up to the second floor, which made the place they were at seem even quieter in contrast.

Holding the glazed glass cup, Zheng Wan made herself smile more sincerely and cheerfully.

“You want me to drink?”

Cui Wang raised his hand and took the glazed glass cup, but he didn’t drink. His hand, which had only ever touched swords, held the glazed glass cup by its edges and toyed with it.

The amber-coloured wine smelled a hundred times richer and more fragrant than the mortal realm’s pear blossom wine.

Zheng Wan nodded without saying anything else, and just looked at him with her bright eyes.

The man’s face was made paler by the moonlight, revealing a sense of fragility akin to the thinnest silk, but when he suddenly raised his head and looked at her with those dark eyes that concealed the black night sky, he looked as if he wanted to pierce through everything.

In that chilling gaze, it seemed as though even all demons and ghouls would have nowhere to hide.

Zheng Wan continued smiling, not letting anything show on her face. She then saw Cui Wang suddenly tilting his head upwards; his Adam’s apple bobbed, and he drained the wine in the cup in one gulp. He tossed it aside, and the glazed glass cup landed on the soft carpet with a dull thud.

Zheng Wan’s lips curved up, but unexpectedly, in the next instant, she was right in front of Cui Wang. Her chin was imprisoned by his fingertips, and silk brushed past her neck. She struggled, but could not break free.

Cui Wang forced her mouth open—his thin lips pressed down coldly, then a strong, rich wine was being fed in.

Zheng Wan choked and coughed, tears rolling down her face, but the arrogance in her nature was aroused, and not wanting to be outdone, she fed the wine back to her with the tip of her tongue.

When her soft tongue touched the other, the other one fought back.

Cui Wang suppressed her with vital energy, and the mouthful of wine came back to Zheng Wan. Furious, she opened her mouth and bit down hard.

No matter how high-level the arts he practised, his lips were still soft, and she had bitten down mercilessly. Soon, the rusty taste of blood spread through their lips. Zheng Wan looked up and found that Cui Wang was looking down at her; even though their lips were clearly still pressed against each other, his eyes were like an ancient well, bearing no trace of desire.

In the silent battle, Cui Wang was the first to push her away. He wiped away the bloodstains on his lips and said, “This wine is very interesting, you should try it too.”

Zheng Wan bit her lip and accused him tearfully, “You bully.”

Cui Wang looked away from her and said instead, “Everyone in the Heavenly Realms knows that the Yuqing Sect’s Zi Xiu Daojun obtained ten bottles of peach blossom dew from Peach Blossom Island five hundred years ago. He gave the two bottles to his eldest disciple, and one bottle each to his second, third and fourth disciples. And as for you—”

“I did get a bottle.”

Zheng Wan wiped her eyes. She did not say if she had used it, nor did she say that she hadn’t; her tear-filled eyes contained only pureness.

Peach blossom dew was colourless and tasteless. Now that they have both consumed some of it, its efficacy would definitely be greatly reduced. Zheng Wan looked at the glazed glass cup on the floor. It was said in plays that most of the drinks in pleasure houses contained drugs that added to the pleasure.

But Cui Wang was probably unaware of that——

After all, he had never been to places like these, nor did he watch plays.

As she breathed in the incense that was burning in the room, she began to feel her cheeks getting hot. This heat erupted and quickly spread downward, burning all the way from her cheeks, lips, and chin, making her brain a little dizzy.

Zheng Wan shook her head and thought, Here we go.

But something had gone a little awry with the plans. Cui Wang should have been the only one to consume it, but now, they had each taken half. If she had to focus on controlling her desires while trying out her arts, she was afraid that she would not be able to resist Cui Wang.

On second thought, with Cui Wang’s ability to remain unshaken, she was afraid that her plan was going to fall through.

“Cui Wang, do you feel that it’s a little warm?”

Zheng Wan covered her burning cheeks with her hands.

Cui Wang glanced at her and saw that the front of her robes had been tugged loose from their tussle just now, revealing a large area of

crystal-clear skin. Along the edge of her goose-yellow undergarment, her bosom appeared tremblingly.

He couldn’t help but shut his eyes, intuiting that something was not quite right.
