The General's Genius Daughter Chapter 335 - Confusion

She had said repeatedly that she would not marry Yun Shimo but Tianpi. Yet right now, she could not but be concerned over him.

She was really a cheap s.l.u.t!

Hua Qiyue took a step back and left, heading for Ice Palace in a distraught state. She was afraid she would involuntarily go near him if she had stayed another second.

Only after Hua Qiyue ran away did Yun Shimo slowly turned his body. He watched the direction from which she had left and smiled a bitter smile.

He thought that she would still show him some care. But she could not overcome the hurdle in her heart. Forget it then! Let her do what she likes!

Yun Shimo was already under the tree for a day and a night. His whole body had turned numb thanks to the cold. It it weren’t for the anima energy inside his body, he would have frozen to death.

After thinking for a day and a night, Yun Shimo came to a conclusion. Let Hua Qiyue live her life as she would like. As long as she was willing, he would humor and indulge her.

Perhaps this was the best way to show his love.

Hua Qiyue staggered back to her bedroom. She found herself too restless to stand or to sit. Thoughts of Yun Shimo had overwhelmed her mind.

Hua Qiyue angrily and hatefully slapped herself. She immediately went down the bed and left for Tianpi’s bedroom. The matter could not wait.

Otherwise, the delay would spell more trouble. She was not certain whether she would change her mind tomorrow.

Tianpi was about to go to bed when he saw Hua Qiyue barge in. He was a little surprised. “What’s wrong?”

Tianpi’s facial color was even ghastly than before. All his Qi seemed to have been sucked away.

“Master… let’s consummate our relationship now!” Hua Qiyue was blushing, yet she proposed this boldly.

Tianpi gazed stupidly at Hua Qiyue walking to his side. A helpless, scornful smile appeared on his lips. “La.s.s, were you provoked by something? How can we consummate without first getting married? I would be doing you wrong!”

“Master, so you agree?” Hua Qiyue heard him and was somewhat astounded. Hadn’t Tianpi agreed to marry her?

Tianpi smiled lazily. “If I don’t agree to, I will go berserk. If I kill you all, I will suffer an even greater loss. Since you’re not willing to marry Yun Shimo, we shall get married instead. I have thought this through in the last few days.”

“We won’t get married for now. We’ll be merely consummating our relationship. We can get married some other time… I’m worried that something might happen. If we can’t curb that demonic energy inside your body, it’ll be even harder to control you after you demonize.”

Hua Qiyue lowered her eyelashes, as thin as cicada wings. Her thoughts were all in a jumble, but she still said involuntarily, “Master… just give in to me this time, won’t you?”

She could not bear to see him die and would rather sacrifice herself. She also wanted to take this opportunity to see whether she could accept another man.

Tianpi did not know whether to cry or to laugh. He watched Hua Qiyue’s ravishing countenance and his heart quivered. “Alright, I shall give in to you for once!”

The fellow looked aggrieved, as if Hua Qiyue was raping him. Hua Qiyue’s delicate body trembled a little. She had not expected Tianpi to really agree.

Tianpi stretched out his hands, grasping her tender hands and pulling her into his arms. An odd hue suffused Hua Qiyue’s face. Her breathing instantly turned frantic.

It was the first time she had been so close and intimate with Tianpi. Hua Qiyue suddenly felt at a complete loss. Her heart was all in a tangle and her mind a complete blank.

With a faint smile, Tianpi lightly kissed her forehead. He lay his hands on her waist and slowly moved them down.

Hua Qiyue suddenly recalled her intimate scenes with Yun Shimo. She had felt a bashful, sweet expectancy with him. But with Tianpi, she only felt an infinite tension and revulsion.

Why was she feeling so terrible? The man being intimate with her was after all not her true love. So naturally, she would feel revolted.

Hua Qiyue lowered her head, forcefully suppressing the revulsion in her heart. When she felt Tianpi’s hands straying on her body, she instantly felt goose b.u.mps all over.

At the moment when his mouth was just about to press down on her cherry lips, Hua Qiyue involuntarily pushed Tianpi away. She jumped down the bed and ran out of his bedroom.

Tianpi was still in the same position when Hua Qiyue had pushed him away. He watched the open door and smiled self-derisively. Then, he slowly put down his hands.

His expression was totally dejected. That girl had promised to consummate their relationship. It was merely a thought. In reality, her body had already rejected him.

In the end, Hua Qiyue still could not accept him. Even under such special circ.u.mstances…

“It appears that this affair cannot go on this way.” Tianpi quietly tidied his tousled black hair. A crimson light flashed faintly across his eyes. The demonic energy seemed about to be unleashed.

After running out of the bedroom, Hua Qiyue sprinted in one breath to the snowy Evil Beasts Forest. She stopped, panting with a hand propped against a small tree.

Her heart was pounding heavily. There seemed to be no regularity in her heartbeats. Hua Qiyue slumped feebly onto the snowy ground. The frosty wind blew on her, making her goose b.u.mps rise again.

Hua Qiyue brushed away the snowflakes on her head and inhaled a few deep breaths. She was hoping to calm herself down.

She had wanted to save Tianpi, but in the end could not help but escape. Hua Qiyue knew that her body and mind had rejected that act. Even if she wanted to, she would involuntarily reject Tianpi.

What should she do next? If this method could not work, what other ways were there?

Hua Qiyue was so anxious that her head broke out profusely in sweat. Yet she did not dare to return to the palace. She was afraid to face the embarra.s.sed and helpless Tianpi.

“If… you really intend to marry him, accept this. It was… originally prepared for you by my mother.” A low voice rang out from behind her back.

Hua Qiyue had a great fright. She was so panic-stricken just now that she did not notice someone following her.

The man following her was of course Yun Shimo.

Yun Shimo fished out a red samite box from the linings of his robe and slowly opened it. It was a pair of emerald-colored jade bracelets. Under the snowy light, it glistened with a lovely l.u.s.ter, like glazed gla.s.s.

Even though they were of a single color, these jade bracelets could reflect the natural colors of the heavens and the earth since they were of premium quality.

“Is this my dowry?” Hua Qiyue raised her brows, sarcasm flashing in her eyes.

Yun Shimo’s brows clouded with sorrow. “Since you prefer him to me, what else can I give you but my blessings? Would I abduct you? If I did that, Qiyue, wouldn’t you hate me even more?”

When she heard Yun Shimo’s words, Hua Qiyue nearly laughed out in frustration. He, blessing her and Tianpi?

What a man. He had told her that he was waiting for her forgiveness, and yet had said this. She could not help but feel disappointed.

“Wonderful. What a lovely pair of jade bracelets! But even if I marry Tianpi, I will not take anything from you.” Hua Qiyue turned around and walked briskly into the Evil Beasts Forest.

Yun Shimo did not go after her. He merely closed the lid of the samite box gently, his heart full of melancholy.

He turned around and walked slowly to the Ice Palace. To change Hua Qiyue’s mind would take a long time…

Hua Qiyue located Tianci and Hua Zun in the Forest. They were commanding a large a.s.sembly of small spirit animals to dig herbs for Tianci. Since the reappearance of Hua Zun and his companions, the larger evil beasts had all run away, for Hua Zun was targeting the larger evil beasts during his hunts.

The remaining hares and rats were spirit animals with some cultivation. They could only obey Hua Zun and Tianci’s coercive orders obediently.

“Mom, why are you here?” Tianci was utterly delighted at Hua Qiyue’s appearance. He dashed over and was soon in her firm embrace.

Tianci felt quite strange. What’s wrong with mom? She was fine and he was not hurt either. So why was she so agitated?

Hua Qiyue fondled Tianci’s hair and asked gently, “Tianci, go ahead with your games. Mom is just taking a look here.”

Hua Zun was by the side, silently observing. When Hua Qiyue arrived, he too was exceptionally agitated. He was fervently hoping for Hua Qiyue’s one glance.

After bidding Tianci farewell, Hua Qiyue had merely nodded quietly at him and then left for the east silently.

For the first time, Hua Zun felt that being alive was a torment.

Hua Qiyue skirted the Evil Beasts Forest and then returned to the Ice Palace.

The moment she entered the Ice Palace, she heard Tianpi call out to her from behind. Hua Qiyue turned back her head. She found Tianpi leaning against the Bodhi Tree, smiling lazily at her.

He looked his normal self, but his face was slightly pale.

“Master, why aren’t you resting inside? It’s so cold out here.” Hua Qiyue awkwardly bowed her head. When she recollected what had happened, she really wanted to give herself a few slaps.

She had resolutely decided on that method to save Tianpi, and yet she had suddenly pushed him away and sprinted out.

Tianpi gave a quiet smile. Hooking a finger, he signaled for Hua Qiyue to come. “Come over here for a while. I have something to tell you.”

Hua Qiyue felt somewhat curious. Although she felt embarra.s.sed over what had happened, she still went over obediently.

Hua Qiyue came to Tianpi’s front and sat on the stone bench by the side. Tianpi was standing behind her. “Master, what’s wrong? How are you feeling now? If you don’t feel well, shall I get Yun Shimo to give you some useful pills?”

Hua Qiyue wanted to turn her head and look. Suddenly, she felt something cold pressed against her neck.

She lowered her head and stared in a daze. She found that cold object on her neck was a silver short sword.

The sword glistened with cold light reflected from the snow. It looked extremely sharp. Its sharp blade was pressing against her neck. Hua Qiyue could feel the keenness of the blade.

Even a slight move could slice through her neck!

“Master…” For a moment, Hua Qiyue could not quite understand Tianpi’s intention. She sat there, dazed and motionless.

“Hahaha, la.s.s, you can’t guess what I’m doing, can you? I can’t bear to hurt you, nor can I force you to give yourself to me. So there’s only this option left!” Tianpi laughed without the slightest contrition.

Tianpi had deliberately walked to Hua Qiyue’s front. His former black eyes were now tinged with a crimson bloodl.u.s.t.

“Master, you… you have demonized!” Hua Qiyue was stunned to the core. Tianpi was still alright when she arrived. She did not expect him to have demonized in the twinkling of an eye.

In other words, that whiff of demonic energy had slowly overcome Tianpi’s true powers. It was claiming his powers as its own.

“What are you doing? Release Qiyue at once!” A figure suddenly whizzed out from the palace gate. Within an instant, it had streaked to Hua Qiyue’s front.

Tianpi’s evil eyes turned. A cold, indifferent smile hovered on his lips.
