Chapter 267: Chapter 267: It’s exhilarating to turn into a dragon, but afterward, it’s a crematorium! 4
Both of them smelled of seawater, which was not pleasant.
He didn’t mind it on her, but he was afraid she might mind it on him.
So, Mo Yinhe also stripped off his wet clothes and, holding her, stepped into the bathtub together to bathe first.
Si Mingjing felt so hot it was as if she were trapped in magma, so uncomfortable that tears rolled down her face.
She even joked about herself, "It’s fun to turn into a dragon for a moment, but afterward, it’s like a crematorium. I don’t want to turn into a Giant Dragon ever again."
Mo Yinhe was amused and laughed.
He brushed his lips over hers, coaxing her, "Mingjing, don’t be afraid. I’ll treat you well, treat you well for a lifetime. I’ll never bully you. If we argue in the future, I’ll definitely be the first to admit my mistake and never give you the cold shoulder, okay?"
Mo Yinhe kissed her, a lingering confession.
Si Mingjing lifted her tear-soaked face.
"Are... are you sure? My name is Si Mingjing. Are you sure the person you see is Si Mingjing?"
Mo Yinhe’s gaze was profound and lingering. He knew what she was anxious about; she always felt he was treating her as a substitute.
What a silly treasure, so proud and precious.
Mo Yinhe reassured her, "I’m sure, Mingjing. I am not treating you as a substitute. I’m very clear about who you are."
"But, uhm..."
Before she could finish, Mo Yinhe silenced her with a kiss.
Mo Yinhe didn’t want to hear her words, full of worries; he only wanted to help her through the difficult coming-of-age ceremony.
They already had two children together; what was there to be awkward about? She was his treasure, after all.
He had always been reluctant to force her, but now...
Not consummating their relationship would only harm her body.
Why would Mo Yinhe hesitate any longer?
He even knew all her sensitive spots intimately.
He could easily make her melt in his embrace.
She didn’t know how much he yearned to cherish her when her eyes, full of restraint and forbearance, met his.
Si Mingjing wanted to avoid him; she longed to maintain her rationality.
But Mo Yinhe had steeled his heart; he was domineering and forceful, giving her no chance to retreat.
Her body was burning up, and with him teasing her so intensely, she found it impossible to resist. Her silky, watery eyes gazed into his dark pupils, her vision hazy and enchanted...
In the end, she completely abandoned her defenses, her mind filled with those intimate memories from after she had swallowed the Dragon Spit Pearl.
Those embarrassing memories had now become reality.
Her last shred of reason crumbled, and she was wholly conquered.
She... had lost what a woman holds most precious.
In that moment, Mo Yinhe’s deep black eyes suddenly widened.
He looked at the treasure in his arms in disbelief.
Was she truly... a virgin?
The Mingjing who had borne him a son and a daughter was actually an untouched girl?
How could this be possible?
Mo Yinhe’s shock was indescribable.
Different in appearance, different DNA, yet still her first time!
Could she have been completely remade?
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
Si Mingjing was already so embarrassed she wished the earth would swallow her whole. Now, after Mo Yinhe had possessed her, his incredulous expression deeply wounded her.
Sensitive and proud, she gritted her teeth and pushed him. "Jerk!"
"Mingjing, I’m just surprised." Mo Yinhe reacted quickly, coaxing her, "So, I’m your first man."
Si Mingjing thought, Isn’t that obvious? Am I that kind of promiscuous girl? Well, now I suppose I am a bit, she mused dejectedly.
Afraid she would misunderstand, Mo Yinhe whispered sweet reassurances close to her ear, "Mingjing, I will cherish and protect you. I don’t just want to be your first man; I want to be your only man. I’ll never let you suffer any grievance in the future."
Her heart, wounded by his gaze, finally felt a touch of warmth.
She snorted. "My master used to say that a man’s words are just for listening; you can never take them seriously. Men are masters of sweet talk. Stop it."
If you say more, I’m afraid your sweet talk will completely bewitch me, she thought.
Her body was burning hot. Closing her eyes, she thought with a touch of haughty pride, Right now, I just need your concrete actions to complete my coming-of-age ceremony. You’re just a tool for that!
The flight from the deserted island to Xingguang Island took two and a half hours.
During these two and a half hours, neither Mo Yinhe nor Si Mingjing stepped out of their room.
The plane landed on the palace’s apron, and several guards stood outside the small room, hesitating whether they should inform the two people inside that the plane had arrived.
The soundproofing in the plane’s room wasn’t very good.
For the accompanying guards, this was sheer torture.
They were all men, after all, normal men!
But His Excellency and the Crown Princess Consort were treating the entire plane as if it were an unmanned aircraft with no one else aboard but the two of them, not even bothering to lower their voices.
One guard said to Fengjue, "Guard Captain, can I get off the plane first? I can’t take it anymore. This is too agonizing!"
Another guard chimed in, "I can’t stand it either! It’s been two and a half hours, and those two show no restraint at all. Aren’t they worried the Crown Princess Consort might come to harm?"
Fengjue coughed lightly. "His Excellency and the Crown Princess Consort were separated for five years. Just imagine, five years! How much longing needs to be expressed this way? Try being separated from your own wife for five years. This isn’t as simple as a brief parting making the heart grow fonder!"
However, even Fengjue himself found it unbearable.
He had already put in his earphones. Standing up, he said, "Alright, let’s all get off the plane."
The moment Fengjue spoke, all the guards bolted!
Even Zhang Muguang, still unconscious, was carried off the plane by the guards.
Ye Shen saw his elder brother’s plane landing and was about to go welcome him. But just as he reached the foot of the aircraft, he saw a group of guards come flying out, as if the plane had malfunctioned and would explode if they delayed even a second.
Ye Shen asked anxiously, "What’s going on? What happened?"
The guards were too embarrassed to say, merely shaking their heads and dispersing. They were desperate to find a room and take a cold shower.
Only Fengjue was stopped by Ye Shen. "Fengjue, where’s my brother?"
"His Excellency... uh, is very busy right now."
"Busy with what? Is my brother on the plane? Perfect! I need to see him about something. It’s huge news! My brother will be ecstatic!"
The clueless young man, full of impulsive energy, tried to board the plane to find Mo Yinhe but was stopped by Fengjue.
"Young Master Three, I’d advise you not to disturb His Excellency right now."
"Why not? I really need to see my brother about something incredibly urgent!"
He suspected his sister-in-law hadn’t given his brother dragon-phoenix twins, but triplets, and he urgently needed his brother for a paternity test!
Fengjue was too embarrassed to explain explicitly. He just pulled Ye Shen to a spot near the side of the plane and said, "Young Master Three, just stand here for a few minutes, and you’ll understand. I should get going."
"Listen to what? How bizarre."
No sooner had Ye Shen spoken than some... er, sounds that wouldn’t pass censorship reached his ears.
OMG! Ye Shen understood in an instant!
Even if he truly had an incredibly urgent matter requiring his brother for an immediate paternity test, he wouldn’t dare board the plane now. Otherwise, wouldn’t his brother annihilate him?
