C136 I Am Not Good I will Feed You!
"Yes, yes, sir, you're incredibly handsome, like a god. Please, don't hold it against a girl like me," Yuvyuv praised at the right moment.
"Oh, so you're captivated by my divine presence?" Lingxiao's dark eyes were mysterious and unreadable.
He suddenly leaned in close, his voice carrying a seductive tone, "Yuvyuv, am I beautiful?"
Yuvyuv gazed into Lingxiao's dark eyes, feeling as if she were being drawn into an abyss, lost in a trance. She murmured, "Beautiful, sir, very beautiful."
"Good girl. Since you think I'm beautiful, do you want me to care for you?"
Lingxiao's deep, enchanting voice seemed to have a frightening allure, tempting the dazed young woman before him.
Yuvyuv, entranced, looked into Lingxiao's soul-stealing eyes, her rosy lips pouting as she nodded, about to say "I do" to his tempting words—
Suddenly, a knock on the door snapped her back to reality.
Yuvyuv quickly retreated, her eyes wide with fear as she stared at Lingxiao, cold sweat breaking out all over her.
Lingxiao's handsome face turned cold and dark. He reached out, grabbed Yuvyuv's small hand, and untied her bound hands.
His tall figure rose abruptly, exuding a powerful, chilling aura.
Looking at Yuvyuv, his lips barely moved, "Yuvyuv, this time, I'll let you go. But if you dare defy me again, you can try and see if I won't strip you bare and take you!"
Lingxiao turned, striding with icy steps, opened the bathroom door, and walked out, closing it behind him.
Only after hearing the door close outside the bathroom did Yuvyuv's tense body finally relax, collapsing into the tub.
She murmured shakily, "I was so close, so close to losing everything... I was too careless. Huo Lingxiao knows hypnosis, and it can really mess with your mind. I almost fell for it."
Cold sweat trickled down Yuvyuv's forehead, sliding along her smooth cheek. Her wide eyes reflected the terror and panic of narrowly escaping disaster.
That devil.
Only now did Yuvyuv remember with fear that in her past life, Huo Lingxiao was skilled in hypnosis. His abilities surpassed even those of professional therapists. Every criminal he dealt with, despite enduring severe physical punishment, ultimately couldn't resist Huo Lingxiao's hypnotic prowess.
Even those with the strongest wills, including those with rigorous psychological training, eventually succumbed to his terrifying hypnosis. He was a true demon.
He would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, disregarding any societal norms, caring only for the outcome.
Yuvyuv's heart sank. To get what he wanted, Huo Lingxiao had used hypnosis on her, manipulating her mind as punishment for her defiance.
That madman.
Yuvyuv was both terrified and furious, yet felt utterly helpless. Her fear and dread of Huo Lingxiao deepened, and she wanted nothing more than to escape far away from him.
His hypnosis might uncover secrets she couldn't afford to reveal. She had been reborn, and if anyone found out, she would be seen as a freak, possibly even burned at the stake. Or worse, she could end up in a lab, subjected to experiments.
The thought sent a shiver down her spine.
She quickly washed up and left the bathroom. Ever cautious, she locked the bedroom door before collapsing onto the bed, exhausted.
The shock and fear had taken their toll, and eventually, she drifted off to sleep.
She woke up in the middle of the night, her hunger pulling her from sleep. Earlier, she couldn't eat during the day because the sight of Sinan eating with the remains of a meal was too nauseating. Then, that night, she was so terrified by the demon Lingxiao that she fainted. Now awake, Yuvyuv clutched her stomach, feeling famished.
The room was pitch black, too dark to see anything. When did she close the curtains? She couldn't remember, but maybe it was because she feared that demon Lingxiao would return and, unable to enter through the door, would climb through her window. That's why she had drawn the curtains and locked the window. After all, when she was still with the Ye family, he had climbed through her window before, like a wolf on the prowl.
Yuvyuv tried to get out of bed, her body weak from hunger, but she tripped and was about to fall headfirst to the floor. She was terrified, knowing she would surely hurt her face. In her panic, she grabbed at something, and suddenly, a chill ran through her body as she gasped, "Who?"
Her hand slipped, and she was about to fall when a strong hand caught her slender waist, effortlessly pulling her back onto the bed. Yuvyuv found herself against a man's chest, a familiar scent of cool cigar smoke filling her senses.
Startled, she tried to jump up, "Lingxiao!" Her hands and feet flailed in a panic, desperately trying to push herself away. But the man held her firmly, his voice lazy and deep, "Don't move, little one, or I'll have to deal with you."
Yuvyuv was too scared to move, but her face quickly flushed with a heat like she'd had too much to drink. Fortunately, the room was so dark that nothing could be seen.
"Huo Lingxiao, what are you doing in my room? I know I locked the doors and windows."
Yuvyuv was fuming, secretly wishing she had a knife to deal with this devil in front of her. He seemed to be haunting her, even though he was just called away by his aide for something urgent.
"Little one, did you forget? This is my territory," Huo Lingxiao's voice was husky with a sleepy allure, dangerously captivating.
To Yuvyuv, it sounded like the terrifying voice of a demon. She tried to struggle, but Huo Lingxiao only pulled her closer.
Yuvyuv was mortified. The man in front of her was shirtless, probably only wearing shorts. She dared not move, fearing the devil might lose control.
"Growl!"
Her stomach saved her, rumbling loudly. She looked up in the dark room, her voice small and pitiful, "I'm hungry."
Huo Lingxiao burst into laughter, thoroughly amused by her stomach's protest. He reached out in the dark, effortlessly finding Yuvyuv's chin.
His night vision was excellent; even if he couldn't see her expression, he could sense her frustration. He adored her childlike innocence, finding her as clever as a little fox, which he liked.
He raised an eyebrow, his smile turning wickedly mischievous, "Oh, my bad. How about I feed you?"
