Chapter 15: Why Do You Insist on Killing Me?:
It was interesting!
Ling Ye had to admit, he had never encountered such an intriguing woman before. Her sudden shifts between cold and warm were utterly captivating. But what fascinated him even more was what happened next…
In the middle of it all, Ling Youruo… suddenly attacked him!
Yes, she attacked him in the middle of everything!
Ling Youruo's slender fingers suddenly aimed for his head, targeting a vital point. Her stance was clear—she intended to kill him halfway through.
Ling Ye was stunned.
What on earth was this woman doing?
She was the one who initiated everything, yet now she wanted to kill him?
And in the middle of it all?
Fortunately, Ling Youruo didn’t succeed.
As soon as she made her move, Ling Ye caught her pale wrist with one hand.
Even after missing her first strike, Ling Youruo didn’t give up—she continued to attack!
Ling Ye had no choice but to defend himself, and soon, the two were truly fighting. They exchanged blows, each strike aimed to kill—at least on Ling Youruo’s part.
The fight was intense…
Of course, Ling Ye was holding back; otherwise, Ling Youruo would stand no chance against him. In fact, Ling Ye occasionally left deliberate openings, giving her opportunities to strike, which allowed him the chance to counter.
After all, it made things more entertaining!
...
Under the starry sky at night.
The stars moved, and so did the night.
After some time passed...
Everything quieted down.
Ling Ye stood beside the bed, looking at Ling Youruo, her eyes still full of resistance.
Throughout the entire ordeal, she had attacked him over a hundred times, each attempt aimed to kill. But every time, he had blocked her and turned the situation in his favor.
“Have you finally calmed down?” Ling Ye asked with a faint smile, gently lifting her pale chin with his hand.
“Hmph!” Ling Youruo coldly huffed, and slapped his hand away.
“I really don’t understand why you’re so determined to kill me.” Ling Ye said, turning away with a sigh.
But just as he turned, Ling Youruo suddenly sprang up and struck at him again with all her strength—a lethal blow, as always!
She believed that Ling Ye would have let his guard down by now. And he had indeed relaxed a little, but even so, Ling Youruo still couldn’t kill him.
As her hand was about to land on his back, Ling Ye suddenly spun around and grabbed her wrist once more.
“You’re still trying?” Ling Ye asked, looking at her in exasperation. “What exactly do you want?”
Ling Youruo snatched her hand back and glared coldly at Ling Ye.
What did she want?
Of course, she wanted to kill Ling Ye!
The moment she had accomplished her initial goal, she had wanted to end his life.
But no matter when she struck, no matter how many openings Ling Ye seemed to give her, she always came up short.
She never succeeded.
“Why haven’t you left yet?” She asked coldly.
Ling Ye frowned at her words.
She was the one who kept him here, and now she wanted him to leave?
How could she just turn on him like that?
And she had already turned on him halfway through!
Did she think he was here just to amuse her?
“I’ve suddenly decided I don’t want to leave.” Ling Ye said as he lay down beside Ling Youruo. “I won’t live for more than two days anyway, so dying here wouldn’t be the worst thing.”
With that, he closed his eyes, acting like he intended to stay.
Ling Youruo had made him want to linger, to savor this strange and enticing experience a little longer. Her unpredictable hot-and-cold demeanor, her unwillingness to submit despite being forced to—it was all just too fascinating!
He even wanted to experience it a few more times… just a few more times before he died!
Ling Youruo looked at Ling Ye, who had already closed his eyes, and considered attacking again. But after some thought, she gave up.
No matter what, she couldn’t defeat him. No matter how many openings he left, it was pointless.
“If you die here, I’ll chop you into pieces and feed you to the fish in the sea!” Ling Youruo said coldly.
“Are you really that heartless?” Ling Ye chuckled.
“Try me!” Her voice remained icy.
Ling Ye shook his head with a bitter smile.
With her temperament, she just might do it.
After all, she was the ultimate villainess!
But just then, Ling Ye suddenly sensed something was wrong.
He opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.
A bitter taste of blood had risen from deep in his throat, causing his expression to change slightly. His life was already at its limit, and after the intense struggle with Ling Youruo, it was only making things worse.
He was now truly on the brink of death…
