Chapter 21: A Pleasing Remark

Caught off guard, Ji Chenxi, who had been bitten, grabbed Chi Zhuo's neck and said coldly, "Let go."

Chi Zhuo not only didn't let go but also bit down harder.

What had started as a minor bleeding issue from Ji Chenxi's neck now began to bleed more profusely.

Ji Chenxi let out a light hiss, knowing that merely grabbing the neck wouldn't make Chi Zhuo release his hold. He decided to pry Chi Zhuo's biting jaw open, even preparing to dislocate it if necessary.

Before Ji Chenxi could act on his brutal intention, Chi Zhuo had already pressed all his weight onto Ji Chenxi, causing him to fall backward due to his unstable centre of gravity.

Accompanied by the sound of suppressants rolling, Chi Zhuo successfully made Ji Chenxi fall with a thud.

He gently sniffed the pheromones seeping from the blood, which calmed him down significantly.

But as the alpha beneath him struggled, this calmness vanished instantly, replaced by intense anxiety. Chi Zhuo tightly bit into Ji Chenxi's neck, greedily wanting more.

The painful sensation from the neck biting made Ji Chenxi hiss again.

The night was clear with a dark moon, a perfect setting for a murder.

Ji Chenxi retrieved a small, ornamental dagger he always carried. He used one hand to draw it, the thin blade reflecting a cold gleam in the moonlight. To avoid getting blood on his face, he planned to find a somewhat suitable position. Just then, he felt someone licking his wound.

The warm, soft sensation made Ji Chenxi momentarily dazed.

This distraction was enough for Ji Chenxi to miss the opportunity. After Chi Zhuo used his tongue to clean the blood from Ji Chenxi's neck, he, tortured by the estrus period, suddenly acted, seizing Ji Chenxi's hand that was holding the dagger before Ji Chenxi could.

Ji Chenxi had another hand ready to pry Chi Zhuo's jaw open. Without hesitation, he gathered a thin spiritual energy blade in an instant, showing a murderous intent.

His movements were too swift; Chi Zhuo, equally fast, used his remaining hand to pin Ji Chenxi's hand down while setting up a spiritual energy barrier.

Before Chi Zhuo could speak, a fine needle pierced the barrier, heading straight for his forehead.

Chi Zhuo tilted his head to avoid it, but at that moment, another needle broke through the barrier and aimed at his position. Chi Zhuo cleverly avoided it again, but even in this perilous situation, he didn't ease his grip on Ji Chenxi.

Chi Zhuo's cold, star-like eyes fixed on Ji Chenxi as he softly asked, "Your Highness, how does it feel to be bitten?"

Ji Chenxi didn't want to respond, remaining silent.

Previously, Chi Zhuo was angry when he spoke. Now that Ji Chenxi was silent, Chi Zhuo wasn't any better off.

"Your Highness, you look like I'm bullying you," Chi Zhuo sneered, "Why not ask another question? Does Your Highness think that returning means the humiliation given wasn't enough?"

He admitted that forcing a kiss was his fault, and being marked by the other was his own doing. But returning for another round of humiliation was indeed going too far.

"Humiliation?" Ji Chenxi's expression was no better than Chi Zhuo's, especially when he saw Chi Zhuo more enraged than himself.

If he hadn't returned, he would have been on his second round of drinks.
