Chapter 1153: Touch Me And I’ll Die In Front Of You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Liangwei instantly panicked and said threateningly, “Don’t forget there’s a slow-acting poison inside you, Long Chi. Death is the only thing awaiting you without my antidote. Touch me and we’ll die together.”
Long Chi shot her a glance. He was not convinced. “There’s no need to lie to me. If it was truly poison, why don’t I feel any discomfort? It was just coma-inducing medicine.” He had seen a physician earlier and there was no problem with his body at all, so he was sure that Lu Liangwei was just bluffing.
When Lu Liangwei saw that she was not able to scare him and he was not about to stop, she immediately bit her tongue. “Touch me and I’ll die in front of you.”
Long Chi suddenly stopped, but then gave a cold laugh. “That’s fine by me. Why don’t you try it?”
With that, he yanked the belt off her waist.!!
Without the strap holding her clothes together, her dress immediately fell apart, revealing the inner garments within.
Lu Liangwei’s eyes narrowed as she bit down hard.
She tasted fresh blood as it began flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Long Chi forcefully grabbed her cheeks when he saw the bright red stains on the corner of her mouth. This forced her to let go of her bite. He snarled, “I won’t touch you if you don’t want me to. Why torment yourself this way?”
Tears began blurring Lu Liangwei’s vision as she looked at him tauntingly without saying another word.
Her tongue was hurt and she could not speak anyway.
Long Chi was stunned to see the tears in her eyes. He gave his sleeve a casual fling. “I’ll go get you a physician.”
Soon, the physician took a look at Lu Liangwei and concluded that her tongue was wounded. It was best for her not to speak. Before leaving, he gave them a prescription and instructed her to rest well.
Long Chi personally fed Lu Liangwei the medicine after it was boiled. However, she spat the liquid into his face after only taking in one mouthful.
Long Chi’s face turned green as he wiped the medicine off. He slammed the bowl of medicine heavily on the table and roared, “Lu Liangwei, you had better know what’s good for you. If you don’t take this medicine obediently, don’t regret it if you end up permanently mute!”
Lu Liangwei said nothing. She merely shot him a cynical look.
Long Chi felt defeated when he saw her act this way and fell into an awkward silence.
Eventually, he said, “Why should I bother looking after you when you don’t care about your own body?”
Long Chi left her but returned soon. He flung a pair of handcuffs onto the table and did not sound as angry as before as he said good-naturedly, “You’ll still need to take your bath and have your meal. It won’t be convenient for you with your pressure point still activated. I’ll put these on for you and get Liu Fu to release your pressure point later. You can have your meal and medicine later, and even take your bath.”
Lu Liangwei still said nothing.
Unbothered, Long Chi proceeded to cuff her wrists with the silver chain and chained her ankles as well.
“These may be made of silver, but they are extraordinarily sturdy. You won’t be able to open them without my keys.” With that, he went out through the door and ushered Liu Fu in to release Lu Liangwei’s pressure point.
Lu Liangwei was finally able to move after that. Unfortunately, all the medicine she had made before had all been confiscated by Long Chi. Moreover, Liu Fu was by her side watching her every move. She could not attempt any escape at all.
Lu Liangwei’s only choice was to do nothing in hopes of making Long Chi less suspicious. She ate and drank her medicine obediently. She even asked for water to clean herself up.
Even then, Long Chi was still wary that something might happen. Once she was done bathing, he got Liu Fu to activate her pressure point again.
Long Chi did not stay near the frontier for too long. They had only rested for one day before he brought Lu Liangwei to Yan Kingdom’s capital city.
The Yan Kingdom, the capital city.
Lu Liangwei sat inside the horse-drawn carriage. The pressure point on her body was activated again and she could not move at all. She could only vaguely guess how prosperous the Yan Kingdom was based on the bustling noises she could hear outside.
When Long Chi saw her staring at the window, he thought she was attracted by the busy city view outside. He leaned forward and pulled up the curtain on her side slightly.
“If only you were a good girl, Weiwei, you wouldn’t have to suffer this way.” He stared at her pretty face as he said this pointedly.
Lu Liangwei did not even bother to look at him.
Her eyes continued to stare at the bustling crowd outside.
The Yan Kingdom was indeed prosperous and bustling with life, but she felt it was still no match for Great Shang’s imperial capital.
