Qian’er had sometimes felt that it was this sense of intolerance that prevented Su Muwei from recovering fully even after drinking Qian’er’s blood for years.

  When a patient’s heart felt stifled, it would be hard for them to recover.

  Gu Bailu chuckled. “How interesting. She probably doesn’t live easy either.”

  One should be grateful for those who kept them alive, but not only was Su Muwei ungrateful, she also hated Qian’er because of her relationship with Lu Fenying. She never thought about how much other people suffered for her sake.

  “I can live a happier life knowing that her life is hard.”

  Qian’er had never thought about this point before, because her world had been filled with nothing but fear of Lu Fenying, confusion over the future, and envy of Su Muwei.

  But she could see clearly now, and understood that Su Muwei was nothing more than a pitiful creature.

  But that woman only had herself to blame; she was suffering because of her own jealousy and pettiness.

  “But I’m planning to give her what she wants.” Gu Bailu gave Qian’er a sly smile.

  “Do whatever you want. I’ll be fine.” Qian’er trusted Gu Bailu.

  Gu Bailu nodded. “If Lu Fenying comes to see you, you have to think of a way to stall him for about an hour.”

  Slightly surprised, Qian’er nodded. Lu Fenying would probably come to see her because of the baby.

  Gu Bailu patted her hand and said, “Get some rest. I’ve checked your blood vessels, and your pulse is steady. The baby’s fine; it’s very tough.”

  Qian’er stroked her belly and said, “The witch doctor said that while we saved the baby, it may be born with congenital defects……”

  “Don’t overthink it. Whatever happens, you have to give birth to the baby. Besides, nobody knows for sure if the baby will have a defect. There might be no need to worry. Besides…… even if there’s a problem, worrying about it won’t help……” Gu Bailu comforted her.

  “Mm, whatever will be, will be. As long as it doesn’t live a life like mine, as someone else’s tool……”

  “What kind of life?” There was a low voice, and Lu Fenying’s tall and strong figure appeared at the door.

  Gu Bailu stood up and winked at Qian’er. “I’m going back first.”

  When she passed Lu Fenying, she praised him. “Your Highness, you’re really healthy. You’ve recovered so quickly; how wonderful.”

  Lu Fenying frowned. What was this mad woman going on about?

  He sat down next to the bed and touched Qian’er’s forehead. “It’s a good thing the baby was saved, otherwise it wouldn’t be enough for you to die a million times over.”

  Qian’er turned her head to the other side, unwilling to look at him.

  “Why are you so sure it’s your child?” asked Qian’er in a low voice. She was weak in the first place, and had run out of strength after chatting with Gu Bailu.

  Yet, she had been asked to stall Lu Fenying here.

  Lu Fenying turned her face and made her meet his gaze, his eyes cold. “Whose baby can it be if not mine?”

  “You don’t need to know. It doesn’t matter who the father is. The only thing you want is a baby that I give birth to.”

  As long as it was her child, it would have Dragon Spirit Blood.

  Lu Fenying’s face couldn’t be any more frightful, and he itched to squeeze her face into pieces. “I’ll make you regret being born if I find out that you’ve betrayed me.”

  Qian’er chuckled. “It’s not like I’ve never experienced that before. What’s there to be scared of?”

  Gu Bailu was right. There had been no reason for Qian’er to be afraid of him at all. She didn’t have any family or people she cared about, and the life of the woman he loved depended on her Dragon Spirit Blood. Why had she been scared of him back then?

  614 I“m Going to Kill Him

  She had been tormented mostly because she never stood up for herself.

  Also, it was partly because she had had delusions about Lu Fenying. After all, the first time she saw him, she really thought he was a god, and she fell, just like that.

  It was the first time in her life that she felt the sky was so blue and the crown prince’s residence was so beautiful.

  She had been so happy when she was transferred to the main courtyard to serve Su Muwei.

  But all those naive fantasies pushed her toward a dead end.

  Actually, when he wanted to sleep with her, she could have refused and threatened to kill herself. Lu Fenying wouldn’t have dared let her die…… just like right now.

  “Mo Qian’er, you’re a slave in the crown prince’s residence, and you always will be!” Lu Fenying never thought that Qian’er would run from him and escape.

  In his eyes, Qian’er was his. She was his slave and he could do whatever he wanted with her.

  Just like the other slaves in the residence, he could beat or kill them whenever he was in the mood. They were all ants to him.

  So, he never felt it strange that Qian’er was terrified of him. As her master, he should be intimidating.

  When she escaped, however, it had been a heavy blow. It turned out that despite her slave mark, she was still an able-bodied human being, and she could run when her heart grew wild.

  That frightened him, which was why when she didn’t return yesterday, he had her brought back to the residence that very night.

  She was his. She had no right to leave him. If she had to die, it would be in the crown prince’s residence.

  “So, even my baby has to sell its life to you, too?” Mo Qian’er stared at him with defiance in her eyes.

  It was true that she was a slave, but she had her dignity as well!

  She would never let her child be a slave.

  “Your baby has to be mine. Who else can it belong to?” Lu Fenying lowered his head to kiss her fiercely, biting her lip in punishment and making it bleed.

  Qian’er had experienced this many times. The man would bite her or even whip her, as if mistreating her would help him vent.

  Biting her lip was no big deal. She couldn’t even be bothered to feel the pain.

  “No matter how controlling you are, it doesn’t change the fact that the baby isn’t yours. You’re not his father. The baby belongs to me and only my blood flows in it.” Mo Qian’er curled her lip. The blood at the corner of her mouth was both grotesque and tempting.

  Mo Qian’er had soul-stirring beauty in the first place, but she rarely smiled, and so always had a vulnerable air about her.

  Lu Fenying had never seen her like this. She was fierce and captivating, and exuded an unbridled confidence that he couldn’t do anything to her.

  “You dare let another man touch you?” Lu Fenying couldn’t believe it. In his eyes, Mo Qian’er was his, and she would resist anyone else who tried to lay hands on her.

  How could she dare let another man touch her?

  As both a slave and a woman, she should observe fidelity.

  Mo Qian’er smiled. “Isn’t that what you want, Your Highness? With my baby, you have another safeguard to cure Su Muwei. You failed to make me pregnant after so long. Shouldn’t you be happy that someone else did?”

  “Mo Qian’er!” Lu Fenying wrapped both his hands around her neck. “You’re mine! Who dares touch what’s mine? I’ll kill him!”

  “Then go kill him! He’s the Nether King of the Nether Land. You better not let him know that his baby is in the crown prince’s residence. He also wants a baby with Dragon Spirit Blood.”


  615 Her Weakness

  The killing intent in Lu Fenying’s eyes instantly enveloped Qian’er. “I’ll kill him. Don’t you worry about that.”

  Mo Qian’er looked at him calmly. “Then good luck to you.”

  “You’re not afraid that I’ll kill the baby now that you’ve divulged that?” said Lu Fenying coldly.

  Sadness flashed in Mo Qian’er’s eyes. “Even if the baby is yours, would you be nice to it?”

  Lu Fenying seized her with one hand. “Mo Qian’er, you better not let me find out that you’re lying!”

  Qian’er closed her eyes. “You’re so high and mighty, Your Highness. How would I dare lie in front of you?”

  She just hoped that he wouldn’t be interested in her body after knowing that someone else had slept with her.

  For a man who was powerful and had high requirements, he would never touch a woman whom other men had slept with.

  Lu Fenying, however, suddenly picked her up and left for the study.

  “What do you want, Your Highness?” Mo Qian’er frowned.

  Lu Fenying’s face was cold. He didn’t reply. He thought that Mo Qian’er had become like this because she had spent too long a time with Gu Bailu.

  He had to teach her a lesson for disrespecting him, and remind her that he was her master and he could control everything about her.

  But he realized that there was nothing he could do to her. Mo Qian’er wasn’t afraid of death, or the death of her baby. It was as if she was going for broke, and didn’t care about living now.

  That was very bad. If she wasn’t afraid of even death, how could he control her and make her obedient?

  Lu Fenying opened the door of the study and entered the inner room. Inside the room was a misty hot spring.

  He suddenly threw Qian’er into the spring. Caught unprepared, Qian’er yelled and choked on a mouthful of water. She couldn’t breathe.

  A giant hand pulled her close, and red lips suddenly covered hers.

  Air flowed into her mouth, but she still felt that she was being suffocated. The spring was a gigantic cavity that was filled with water. She was at the bottom of the cavity, and the water was dragging her down to her death.

  She really thought she wasn’t afraid of death, and that she would no longer feel dread in the face of it.

  But that wasn’t true. She was terrified, not of death, but the sense of suffocation just before.

  Lu Fenying knew that she was afraid of drowning. Having lived with her around for years, Lu Fenying knew her every weakness.

  When she was very little, Qian’er fell into a pond in the backyard of the crown prince’s residence, and a handsome young man saved her. The handsome young man was none other than Lu Fenying.

  She regarded him as her lifesaver and remembered him in her heart, but she knew that he was way above her station.

  She thought that this lifesaver was a kind and amiable person. Little did she know that it was just a show he put on for his father to make the latter believe that he could love.

  Ever since then, Qian’er had been afraid of drowning. So, when she made a mistake later in having extravagant hopes as a slave, Lu Fenying threw her into a freezing cold lake.

  After she was rescued, she was even more afraid of water and didn’t dare approach within ten meters of a pond.

  Lu Fenying knew it all. He knew everything about her, and she knew everything about him. But his everything was just Su Muwei and his ruthlessness.

  Qian’er struggled in the water. She was afraid and closed her eyes, and the horror in her dreams reappeared in her heart.

  She wanted Lu Fenying to die. She really wanted to kill the demon who trapped her in fear.
