The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Chapter 2509 Side Story 13: In The Future, I'll Repay You Double

?

Rong Xiu looked down at her. After a moment, he wrapped his arm around her waist. "Sure."

Chu Liuyue was stunned. She heard him lean close to her ear and whisper, "I will definitely serve you comfortably."

The tips of Chu Liuyue's ears heated up. For some reason, she felt that it was a little dangerous.

She coughed lightly and was about to say something when Rong Xiu grabbed her and walked to the bed. Before she could react, she was already lying on the bed.

Rong Xiu sat beside her and leaned against the head of the bed, hugging her shoulders with one hand.

She looked up at him.

Rong Xiu leaned over and kissed her glabella. "Sleep."

With that, he retreated slightly and took another book from the side to read, as if he planned to guard her like this.

Chu Liuyue: "…"

She reached out and hooked her weak fingers gently, pulling his slender hand. "…Are we sleeping like this?"

Rong Xiu looked down at her.

She blinked. "I haven't taken off my clothes yet."

Rong Xiu was speechless.

He took a deep breath and leaned closer, staring at her dangerously.

Chu Liuyue shrugged and sighed helplessly. "Hasn't the Emperor always been familiar with this?"

Rong Xiu was speechless.

"Back then, that token was clearly tied to my body, but the Emperor only hooked it a few times and easily removed it, right?" Chu Liuyue seemed to have thought of something interesting as she looked at him with bright eyes.

Rong Xiu glanced at her. "That token is an item used by the evil spirit to search for the auras of you, the Thirteen Yue Guards, and the others. If I hadn't deliberately suppressed it, it would've exploded long before you ascended to the heavens. It's fine for them, but you can't expose yourself in advance."

The person who wanted to look for her was the Heavenly Dao. If she revealed her identity before she awakened, the situation would probably be irreversible.

Chu Liuyue nodded thoughtfully. "My husband has racked his brains to plan for me. I think I shouldn't have troubled you with such a small matter."

Before Rong Xiu could speak, she undressed herself. "Then, I'll do it myself—"

For a moment, Rong Xiu wanted to leave.

However, Chu Liuyue's movements were very fast. She took off her outerwear and revealed the red chiffon inner shirt.

That color made her skin snow-white and extremely soft.

She lay on the pillow and patted her side gently. "Let's sleep together."

Rong Xiu pressed his glabella and intuitively felt that the next few months would probably be even more torturous than the previous tens of thousands of years.

But at this moment, a fair and soft hand had already reached over and pulled the jade belt around his waist.

He held her hand and took a deep breath. "I'll do it myself."

Chu Liuyue tilted her head to look at him and really let go.

Rong Xiu threw the book aside. He simply couldn't stand it anymore.

He first unbuckled the jade belt and took off his coat. With a long arm, he pulled the blanket over.

Just as he was about to lie down beside her, he heard her say, "Continue."

Rong Xiu was stunned and raised his eyebrows at her. "What did you say?"

Chu Liuyue grabbed his sleeve. "When we first met in Country Yao Chen, you weren't even afraid of being naked with me, let alone now."

Rong Xiu really couldn't win against her. Seeing her stubborn expression, he could only smile. "Since Madam has given the order, I'll naturally listen."

With that, he did as he was told.

The snow-colored shirt loosened a little, revealing his firm and warm chest.

However, she suddenly pounced over and hugged his waist.

Rong Xiu was about to speak when he suddenly felt her hand land on his left shoulder. Then, her low voice came from beside his ear. "…It must hurt a lot."

These words were extremely light and faint, but he heard them clearly.

Chu Liuyue leaned in his arms and stared at the perfect and tough body under her palm in a daze.

The current Rong Xiu naturally didn't have any injuries on his body, but the scene that day remained in her mind and couldn't be forgotten.

He had been deprived of tens of thousands of years of holy force and had to endure the pain of being cut into pieces.

Bones broke and flesh splattered.

What could hurt more?

Even if Rong Xiu forcefully broke through in the end, the pain he had suffered couldn't be erased.

Wounds from the Heavenly Dao's punishment could heal, but some things would be left behind forever.

She looked at him in a daze, her fingers unconsciously brushing his collarbone.

She still remembered the wound here—no, she remembered all the injuries on him. Even though she could no longer see it, she remembered.

A hand suddenly reached over and rubbed her head. At the same time, a sigh came from above. "If Yue'er really feels sorry for me, don't bully me for the next few months."

Chu Liuyue retracted her thoughts and glared at him. Then, she leaned even closer and burrowed into his arms. "No."

With that, she leaned over and kissed his collarbone. "I refuse."

Deliberately ignoring the man's instantly tense body, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Rong Xiu, you have many injuries on your body. I'll kiss one injury a day in the future."

Even though the dust had settled, she still didn't know how to ease the pain in her heart. It seemed like this was the only way to be better.

Rong Xiu looked at the person in his arms. His phoenix eyes darkened slightly, and something seemed to be surging in his eyes.

He naturally knew what she was thinking. How could he not be moved?

This person was the only love he had in his life, but… Could it be that she didn't realize that this wasn't comfort to him now but torture?

He couldn't reject her no matter what.

After a while, he pinched her chin and stared into her eyes. There was a smile on his lips, and his voice was low and hoarse, as if it was bewitching.

"Sure."

"In the future, I'll remember every place you kiss."

"In the future, I'll definitely pay you back double."
