My Beast Slave Is Far Too Flirtatious - Chapter 2

I had no idea where Liu Yue had found this pervert.

But the pervert’s identity was almost certainly anything but ordinary. By provoking someone like him, the Liu family might truly come to regret it, just as he had warned.

I did not want the Liu family dragged into danger, much less to suffer this man’s revenge.

Now that my heat had subsided, there was no reason to keep him around.

So perhaps…

I reached beneath my pillow for the dagger, making as little sound as possible.

Before I could draw it, however, the man who should have been asleep clamped a hand around my wrist.

“I’d always heard that the snake clan was cold-blooded, but even so, your kind of ruthlessness is rare.” He loomed over me. “You really are a vicious little thing.”

“If you knew our clan was cold-blooded, why did you enter the Liu family’s gates in the first place?”

I knew his origins were unknown and that he most likely was not one of the beast slaves the clan had prepared in advance, but I still could not resist trying to sound him out.

He seemed to see straight through me. He flicked my forehead hard.

“When you’re fishing for information, keep your expression natural. Stop studying the other person, or you’ll give yourself away.” He pulled out my dagger. “And if you’re going to hide a knife under your pillow, at least choose a decent one. This thing is so dull you couldn’t stab me to death if you tried.”

I lowered my gaze. Dull? The blade was plainly sharp.

He was teasing me again!

He had done it before too, claiming that it had broken off and could not be pulled out, making me panic and threaten to call for help.

I ground my teeth in anger, yet there was nothing I could do to him.

Still, judging by his attitude, having eaten his fill and had his pleasure, he seemed less intent on revenge.

He was in a rather good mood now.

Just then, several knocks sounded outside the door.

“Yuan’er, let’s talk.”

Yun Lin’s voice came from outside. My body stiffened, and I instinctively glanced at the man.

“Your former lover?” His face darkened. “Or your adulterer?”

A murderous gleam entered his light-blue eyes, but there was also a hint of jealousy in his low, hoarse voice.

For some reason, a mischievous impulse seized me.

“Your predecessor.”

I spoke in a teasing tone and rose to head for the door.

But the man on the bed caught my sleeve and yanked me back onto the mattress.

“Since he’s my predecessor, why not invite him in to watch and see whether I measure up?”

No sooner had he spoken than he reached for my sash.

He was like an insatiable beast. After one taste of sweetness, he could not bear to stop.

Two straight days beneath him had left me rather afraid, so I clung desperately to my sash.

Fortunately, he did not truly intend to indulge in broad daylight. After wrestling me for it several times, he bent down and left a few love bites along my neck.

It was part claim of ownership, part jealous retaliation.

“Since Mistress is going to see my predecessor, this slave can only wait here.”

His words were humble, but his tone brimmed with mockery.

What a schemer.

Just to anger Yun Lin, he could even bring himself to say such embarrassing things.

His voice was also strong enough to carry. Yun Lin outside heard every word, and the rhythmic knocking abruptly stopped.

I was not annoyed. Instead, I joined him in the performance.

“Jealous?” I deliberately looped my arms around his neck. “Then I simply won’t see him.”

“This slave belongs to Mistress. As long as Mistress is pleased, I would be delighted to have several brothers help care for you.”

He claimed he would welcome several brothers, but his gaze was glacial. It said that if I dared bring a male favorite into the room, he would tear the adulterer apart with his own hands.

What an interesting temper.

The corners of my mouth lifted. I was considering what shameless remark I might make to play along when another knock sounded at the door.

“Yuan’er, I know you’re angry with me, but I stayed by your side for ten whole years. Do you truly refuse to see me one last time?” Yun Lin sounded dispirited. “I’m about to leave Qingcheng. I’m afraid we may never have another chance to meet.”

I did not know why Yun Lin wanted to see me, but I did want to know why he was leaving Qingcheng.

Could something have happened in Yuncheng?
