Chapter 46

At this moment, Zhu Mingyu actually felt nervous. There was only one woman in the world who could make him feel this way, and that was the Peony Fairy!

However, sometimes the truth is cruel. You may love someone, but that person may not love you back, or you might just be a tool for them to use.

Zhu Mingyu slowly walked to the bed, his steps very slow. The closer he got to the bed, the more rapid his breathing became, and the faster the blood flowed in his body, his hormones starting to rise.

Finally, Zhu Mingyu struggled to reach the Peony Fairy's bed. The Peony Fairy grabbed his large hand, her seductive gaze almost penetrating her veil, directly piercing into the heart of the blind Zhu Mingyu. She then pulled Zhu Mingyu over and made him sit down on the bed.

"Your heart is beating so fast," Zhu Mingyu sat with his back to the Peony Fairy, who pressed her whole body against his back. Her red lips lightly touched his ear, and even through the veil, Zhu Mingyu could feel the soft, fragrant lips gently pressing against his earlobe. Her breath was intoxicating.

Zhu Mingyu panted heavily, his face flushed and red. The Peony Fairy continued to seduce him: "Zhu Mingyu, are you excited? Or are you suffering? Why don't you move? Aren't I the woman you like... but here I am, and you don't even dare to move. You say he's a beast, but what about you... You're a coward, even worse than a beast."

Zhu Mingyu's face instantly turned pale. He pushed the Peony Fairy away, took several steps back, and stood there. His expression showed great pain and endless anger, like a lion that had been provoked, roaring wildly: "Don't mention him to me, don't mention that man! If I ever see him, I will kill him, tear him to pieces, and send him to the depths of hell!"

As Zhu Mingyu roared, the Peony Fairy laughed uncontrollably, her laughter shaking her body. It seemed she was mocking Zhu Mingyu, pitying him, or even mocking herself. You couldn't tell what she was feeling from her laughter.

After Zhu Mingyu shouted, he continued to pant heavily. His fists were clenched, and the veins on his arms bulged, showing how angry he was deep down.

The Peony Fairy's laughter stopped, and her tone turned cold: "Alright, tell me, I sent you to kill Xiao Bing. How did it go?"

Zhu Mingyu tried to calm down, took several deep breaths, and said calmly: "He is an extraordinary man. I had Big Ben and Little Ben test him, and both of them are dead."

The Peony Fairy's voice grew even colder, bone-chilling: "Zhu Mingyu, you are indeed cautious. You made your own decision for your safety, causing me to lose two skilled men. Do you know how hard it was to get Big Ben and Little Ben?"

Zhu Mingyu said calmly: "I didn't think they would die, and my life is very precious... because I need to protect you for the rest of my life, so I can't take even the slightest risk."

"Ha ha ha... You are so great, I am so moved..." The Peony Fairy laughed, mocking him, "I can't believe that I, the mighty Northern King, need a blind man's protection... Do you think I am a weak woman? Zhu Mingyu, don't overestimate yourself. I can take your life easily!"

Zhu Mingyu fell silent.

After the Peony Fairy had finished criticizing Zhu Mingyu, she didn't want to dwell on the topic any longer and asked: "When they died, were you there?"

"I was there."

"Then why didn't you act? Could the three of you not kill that man?"

Zhu Mingyu hesitated, thinking carefully: "From what I saw, he seems to have reached the Hidden Power level, but it's not just that... I can't see through him. Big Ben and Little Ben died too quickly. By the time I was considering whether to act, they had already lost their chance to live. In the end, he sensed my fleeting killing intent. If he hadn't been carrying a woman, he would have caught up with me."

The Peony Fairy said solemnly: "So, even you don't have a sure chance of winning?"

Zhu Mingyu replied: "If I face him directly, I won't run... because in a battle between strong opponents, the one who shows fear first dies. But I haven't truly faced him yet, so I won't act rashly because I don't have a sure chance of winning."

The Peony Fairy giggled: "Hearing you say this, I really want to see this man named Xiao Bing for myself, to see what kind of man he is..."

Zhu Mingyu's eyes twitched, and a hint of jealousy rose in his heart.

Xiao Bing had already carried Su Xiaoxiao into her bedroom and gently placed her on the bed. For a minor illness like a fever and a cold, Xiao Bing had many solutions. After all, the Dragon Tooth often had to carry out dangerous missions, and even with their excellent physical condition, they couldn't avoid occasional headaches and fevers, so this knowledge was essential.

On the way home, Xiao Bing had already bought cold medicine. He first poured a glass of warm water, then took out a few pills, sat on the edge of the bed, and let Su Xiaoxiao's head rest on his thigh. He opened her mouth with his hand, put the pills in, and then fed her a few sips of warm water.

Su Xiaoxiao's lips were dry and chapped. Xiao Bing hadn't expected her cold to come on so suddenly and severely. It looked like she would have to take another day off tomorrow. According to Xiao Bing's understanding, she might break the fever by the end of the night, but her body would be very weak tomorrow, and she would need to rest at home for another day.

After feeding her the medicine, Xiao Bing helped her rest her head on the pillow. He then went to the kitchen and found a bottle of alcohol, and to the bathroom to get a towel that Su Xiaoxiao usually used. He returned to her bedroom.

"I'm not trying to take advantage of you; I'm just helping you with a physical cooling treatment because your fever is too high," Xiao Bing muttered to himself, not caring if Su Xiaoxiao could hear him. He gently undid the buttons on Su Xiaoxiao's shirt, one by one.

"Don't look, don't look, but she's still wearing a bra, so I'm not really seeing everything, right?"

Xiao Bing's gaze involuntarily fell on Su Xiaoxiao's chest. Despite her young age, she was well-developed, and the bra couldn't fully contain her soft, white skin.

Xiao Bing adjusted his breathing, finally managing to look away, but his gaze accidentally landed on Su Xiaoxiao's slender waist and her cute, pink navel.

Damn, it's a good thing I'm a gentleman, or this would really be a problem.

Xiao Bing steadied himself, opened her shirt, and unfolded the towel he had found in the bathroom. He folded it into a square, soaked it in alcohol, and then gently wiped it on Su Xiaoxiao's neck, continuing down her body.

Alcohol can stimulate the dilation of blood vessels in the skin of a feverish patient, increasing the skin's ability to dissipate heat. Additionally, because it is volatile, it can absorb and carry away a lot of heat, lowering the body temperature and relieving symptoms.

Su Xiaoxiao let out an enticing moan, and Xiao Bing swallowed hard, stopping his wandering thoughts and continuing to wipe her skin.

Perhaps due to the alcohol, the originally unconscious Su Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, her face still flushed. She looked at Xiao Bing with dazed eyes, and when she realized her shirt was unbuttoned and her body was exposed to him, her eyes filled with shame and anger. She said in a hoarse, weak voice: "You... Xiao Bing..."

"Hey, hey, don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to take advantage of you, I just... Hey, hey, why are you falling asleep again? Listen to me first."

Xiao Bing was on the verge of tears. This little girl had always had a grudge against him, and now the misunderstanding was even deeper.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoxiao wrapped her arms around Xiao Bing's neck.

Xiao Bing was about to pull away, but Su Xiaoxiao suddenly wrapped her legs around his waist, and he found himself pressed against her. She wriggled and murmured: "I'm so cold... hold me tight... I'm so cold."
