C2 I Won't Run

"Ugh!" The man's expression changed, and he looked like he was about to go crazy.

Gu Xi gripped the hairpin that had pierced the big acupoint in his chest and suddenly turned, at the same time fiercely smashing her elbow towards his temple!

"Bam!" The man fell to the ground, unconscious.

"Phew …" Gu Xi's heart relaxed slightly, and her legs gave way as she knelt beside the man.

Han Junyao's eyes were tightly shut, and there was less struggle on the unconscious person's face. However, his handsome face was still dazzling, like a peerless jade. It was quiet and gentle.

Gu Xi looked at his face and reached for the hairpin that had been inserted into his chest.

The acupuncture points on the hairpin would only make him hold his breath for half the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. If he pulled it out now and stabbed the hairpin into his heart, everything would be different, right?

Gu Xi's hand paused in front of her hairpin as the scene of her previous life's death flashed before her eyes in a trance.

As the blade came slashing down on her, Han Junyao ignored the sharp weapon aimed at him and pulled her into his embrace, blocking the blade with his hand …

"Yeah …" The unconscious person on the ground moved as if he was about to wake up.

Gu Xi was startled and didn't dare to touch the hairpin again. She was afraid that the moment she pulled it out, she would wake the man up. When the time came, she would be the one to suffer.

Take the chance to leave now?

She looked around her blankly. There was no one guarding the courtyard, so no one dared to stand guard here. Even the courtyard gate shut tightly after throwing her inside.

But outside the courtyard, she could guarantee that it would be filled with the most elite guards of the Yan King Manor!

With her current skills, she wouldn't be able to escape. Moreover, she was most skilled in using poison, not martial arts. There was no poison here for her to use.

Gu Xi looked at the person on the ground again and quickly made her decision.

Since he couldn't leave, he had no choice but to spend the night with Han Junyao.

That night...

Gu Xi glanced at the full moon in the sky, then swept her gaze over the surrounding Xuanji grass. This kind of sweet smell would worsen his craziness, so she couldn't leave Han Junyao here alone.

Gritting her teeth, Gu Xi carefully avoided the hairpin on Han Junyao's chest and used all her strength to carry him into the room in the courtyard.

As soon as she entered the room, she smelled another fragrance and her expression abruptly changed!

That fragrance was also one of the things that could cause Han Junyao's madness!

As expected, the person on his back smelled the fragrance and immediately moved.

Gu Xi was so frightened that she wanted to die. She subconsciously covered his eyes, as if this would make a person lose consciousness again. With a trembling voice, she comforted him, "I'm not running, I'm here …"

It was unknown if it was due to her comforting him, but the person on his back did not move, as if he had really fallen asleep again.

Suppressing her fear, Gu Xi carried her into the room and put her on the bed. Then she hastily pressed a few major acupoints on his body, making him temporarily hold his breath and not inhale the fragrance in the room.

Only then did he have the time to find the source of the fragrance in the room — it was a pot of burning incense.

Gu Xi stared at the incense for a long time. Had she ever been in the habit of lighting incense in the house before?

She quickly tossed everything out the door, closed the door, and opened the window on the other side, letting the air flow into the room and carry away the scent.

At the same time, he also remembered why she would light up some incense in her room.

When she was first captured and brought to the Yan King Manor a few years ago, she had believed the words of her best friend, Lin Yiran. She thought that if she lit a incense that Han Junyao did not like, she would make him hate her and drive her out of the Yan King Manor.

It included the lily flower in the yard, and all sorts of other things … These actions and items would either infuriate Han Junyao or provoke his insanity!

He was so naïve that it was laughable. If he angered Han Junyao like this, he would definitely be killed, or even worse!

How could she have survived under such circumstances in her previous life?

Gu Xi found it hard to believe even when she thought about it. One must know that once Han Junyao went berserk, he would kill anyone who saw him, regardless of whether they were real or not!

However, she had managed to survive under Han Junyao's hands. In the end, she had even …

Gu Xi raised her eyes and looked at the unconscious person on the bed. Her thoughts were complicated.

"..."

"Bam!" The door was kicked open.

"My Lord!" A few tight-uniformed people entered in a line and nervously looked inside, expecting to see some kind of terrifying scene.

However, in front of him …

Gu Xi woke up from her shock by kicking on the door. She turned her head vigilantly in the direction of the door, only to see that all the nervous people who came in earlier were stunned.

They couldn't be blamed for being stunned. This was simply too surprising.

On a full moon night, Han Junyao could be torn apart if he wandered around in front of him, not to mention angering him.

But last night, not only had Gu Xi angered Han Junyao, but she had also provoked him.

No, not exactly.

At the very least, Gu Xi's body was covered in dust, and he seemed to have been thrown around on the ground quite a bit. However, with such little flesh wounds, the punishment he received for truly angering Han Junyao was simply … Don't be too comfortable!

"Master, are you alright?" The person at the door quickly reacted and rushed towards the bed.

Gu Xi was startled and subconsciously looked at the person lying on the bed. That hairpin was still stuck in his chest. If anyone else saw her, they would be in trouble!

Seeing that the guards at the door were about to rush over, Gu Xi thought that it was already too late to pull out the hairpin!

"Cough, I'm fine." The person on the bed suddenly spoke up.

Gu Xi was startled once again. She raised her head and saw that they were both inside those ice-cold phoenix eyes of hers.

At some point, Han Junyao had opened his eyes. His bloodshot pupils had returned to normal, and were now staring directly into hers.

Gu Xi's body stiffened, and she almost forgot to breathe due to fright.

Han Junyao glanced at her and quickly glanced at the hairpin in his chest. His expression didn't change, but before the others could get close, he suddenly shouted, "Step down!"

The person who was about to rush over immediately halted, not daring to take another step forward.

They looked at each other, then glanced at Gu Xi, whose face was clearly pale from fright. Although they were astonished, they didn't dare to say anything. They cupped their hands together and bowed their heads, then retreated.

When Han Junyao and the rest had retreated, he raised his hand to pull out the hairpin that had been stuck in his chest.

The hairpin went deep, and once it was pulled out, blood spurted out, staining a large portion of his clothes wet.

Gu Xi looked and her face turned even paler.

"Now I know." Han Junyao ignored the blood that spurted out from his wound. He flung his robes and got up from the bed.

Gu Xi subconsciously shrunk her neck.

Han Junyao frowned and stared at her coldly for a long moment.

"Didn't I tell you to run yesterday?"

"I... I can't outrun you. " She lowered her head, not saying that she didn't want to run.

Han Junyao's aura seemed to have turned to winter in an instant. Killing intent surged within the room, and his voice was icy as he asked, "You still want to run?"

Gu Xi didn't dare to reply. It was too much of a lie to say that she didn't want to run. If she said that she wanted to run, then she would be courting death.

But before this, he was the one who told her to run away!
