Ambiguous Love in Mysteries

Even though Su Mu said that he didn't want to, she had already placed her slender hand on her chest. She tore off half of her collar, revealing her creamy skin.

The man seemed to be hesitating, but it was impossible for him to resist Su Mu's enticement. He took off his outer garment and covered his face with a cloth before imprinting his lips with impatience and fanaticism.

Su Mu's fingernails dug deep into his palm. The pain aroused a bit of his consciousness. Su Mu supported himself on the ground with his left hand and lifted the black cloth while the man wasn't paying attention.

As if there was something stuck in his throat, Su Mu spoke with difficulty: "Zhou Ye."

Zhou Ye stopped and covered Su Mu's eyes with his hand. He said softly, "Sorry."

If the one who had saved his life wasn't Yan Heng, if the one he had met wasn't Su Mu, and if … Too many ifs.

Zhou Ye and Lu Chao came from the same village and were very close. When he returned to Wu City after reporting some things to Yan Shen, he heard that Su Mu had been taken away by Yan Zhao and was returning to the capital on horseback. Initially, he wanted to interrogate Yan Sen, but he was afraid that Yan Ge would drag him over to Lin Yi's side.

In the beginning, he only intended to deceive Lu Chao and lead Su Mu out of this place, but the sudden feeding of the Joyous Union Powder by Lu Chao ruined his original plan.

Acacia Powder was a common medicine used in brothels, and was usually used on girls who would rather die than submit. In half a bottle, a pure and strong woman could turn into a lecherous child.

I'm still better than Lu Chao, right? Zhou Ye thought. After he released Joyful Union Powder, he would bring Su Mu away. No matter how much Su Mu hated him, she couldn't hate him forever, right?

The sound of clothes tearing was like a clap of thunder in the horizon. Su Mu closed his eyes and clear tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

If she was destined to perish and turn to mud, then she would choose which stance to use to bid farewell to the world.

Su Mu didn't struggle and only catered to his body's instincts.

They would rather die than die.

However, at the last moment, Su Mu's teeth were still in a different place. She still had many things to do. She had to carry the lives of so many people of the Su Clan. She could not die.

Perhaps she could call herself strong, but she wasn't strong enough to bear everything. Su Mu used a bit of strength and a sharp pain hit her. She fainted as if she wanted to.

Zhou Ye sensed that something was wrong. He looked carefully and saw that a shocking amount of blood was flowing out of her mouth. Her red lips were dyed red.

Zhou Ye immediately became clear-headed and shouted in pain and anxiety: "Su Mu!"

Fortunately, he had been out for a long time and was used to wearing medicine. All of his medicine had been given to him by Yan Heshen, and they were all rare and precious medicine.

Zhou Ye drugged Su Mu and stopped the bleeding. He put on his outer garment and picked up Su Mu.

If it couldn't be him, then it had to be someone else.

Zhou Ye endured the frustration in his heart and walked out. Su Mu, who was in his arms, frowned and fidgeted restlessly.

Before he could walk out of the temple, Zhou Ye saw a man riding a horse over. Seeing that the horse's hooves were about to land on him, the rider quickly reined the horse.

Su Mu let out a low groan. Zhou Ye's attention was distracted for a moment, but the rider had already dismounted. A gloomy and cold sword tip was pressed against Zhou Ye's neck. The sword tip was sharp, and blood was flowing out.

"Since you came, I'll leave her to you." With a calm expression, Zhou Ye used his fingers to push Lin Yi's sword away, sending Su Mu into Lin Yi's embrace.

Lin Yi received Su Mu and felt Su Mu's hot skin.

There were still some bloodstains on Su Mu's collar, making his jade-like neck seem even more alluring.

"I didn't kill you because I wanted her to deal with it herself." Lin Yi retracted his sword, his face as gloomy as water.

The sword light pierced Zhou Ye's eyes: "You always knew I was a member of the Yan family?"

Lin Yi knew. The fact that he came to Jiangnan was very reasonable, but the Yan Clan could not allow him to walk outside. They would definitely send people to watch him, and Zhou Ye's appearance was too coincidental, so he naturally could not be at ease. "I dare to have you stay by my side, so I naturally will thoroughly investigate your background."

"But I can't find out who I am." The little beggar that Su Mu had saved was indeed his younger brother. He was just a different mother, so he didn't have any feelings for him.

"Your identity is too clean, and it is because you are too clean that makes me suspicious." Lin Yi said.

Zhou Ye looked at Su Mu, who was anxiously wriggling about. He turned around and left. His footsteps were hurried as he ran for a few miles. Then, he stopped at a patch of reeds. The blade of grass was sharp, and it left many scars on his face, yet he seemed to know no pain.

Lin Yi wasn't willing to let Su Mu go just like that. Even though he endured the pain, he still brought Su Mu into the mountain forest and found a clear spring. Lin Yi did not dare to bring Su Mu into the capital like this. As long as they went in, Yan Shen would definitely find a place for them to stay. It would be good if he brought people to track down the fugitives and catch the rapist.

The wound on Su Mu's foot had yet to heal. Lin Yi did not dare to let Su Mu enter the water. He took off his outer garment and wet Su Mu's body, but it seemed to have no effect on Su Mu.

Su Mu continued to squirm in Lin Yi's embrace, his hands fidgeting as he made small movements.

"I want it, I want it." Su Mu's words were blurred, making them seem even more charming and ambiguous.

Lin Yi tapped Su Mu's wrist and checked her pulse.

The blood energy within Su Mu's body was already in disarray. If no one groomed her, her body would instead be harmed.

Lin Yi hesitated and patted Su Mu's face: "Su Mu, Su Mu, wake up."

Su Mu had no strength to open his eyes. Both of his hands were so soft that they clasped Lin Yi's neck and he gave his own lips.

"I will take you as my wife, my only wife." Lin Yi whispered a promise into Su Mu's ear.

In the bamboo forest, the spring sun shone brightly for a time.

In her dream, there was a bottomless well. She lay on the top of the well and stared at the pitch-black hole. Suddenly, someone came out of the well and pulled her into the well. The cotton and wood flew everywhere. The mournful music kept singing in his ears. He was filled with resentment. Someone reached out a hand from outside the well, but Su Mu couldn't reach it.

"Geezer, why isn't she awake yet?" An old woman's voice was heard, full of concern.

"What's the rush? What's the rush?" An equally aged yet somewhat irritable male voice sounded out.

Su Mu felt someone holding his hand. A sharp pain could be felt from his fingertips.

Su Mu forced himself to open his eyes and saw an old man with white hair. The old man's hair was carefully combed and every strand of silver hair was neatly combed.

"Won't he wake up now?" The old man removed the silver needles from Su Mu's fingertips and picked up the bowl of blood. With a stern expression, he splashed the blood outside the door.
