YM778.TV Chapter 18
“Third Prince is dignified.” His pale white face flushed red, it was unknown whether it was due to humiliation or anger, “This kind of joke is not funny.”
“And if I say that I’m not kidding?” It seems that it was extraordinarily interesting to tease the person in front of him for Yan Jingyi actually sat directly next to Chen Liguo and reached down and pressed Chen Liguo’s shoulder.
Chen Liguo’s legs were already unusable, being pressed down by Yan Jingyi in this way, he couldn’t move even more. He gritted his teeth and said, "If Your Highness continues to be like this then...I will....call someone!"
Yan Jingyi said, "If Lord Ji wants to call, then call, but if your servants come in to see such a scene—I don’t know how Lord Ji would explain himself to the Second Prince."
Chen Liguo’s entire body shook violently. He took a deep breath and seemed to be calming his feelings, then he said indifferently, "What does Your Highness really want?"
Yan Jingyi said, "Lord Ji knows, I have always loved talented people."
Chen Liguo sneered, "So Third Prince loves talents in such a way?"
Yan Jingyi’s gaze traveled from Chen Liguo’s neck to Chen Liguo’s chest. He said, "The talents of other people’s families, naturally the method of loving will be different... Lord Ji, don’t you think so?"
Chen Liguo gazed at the third prince’s handsome face, not a trace of smile on his face, and said, "Does Third Price really think that by using this method, I will leave the second prince for you?"
Yan Jingyi’s eyes were also completely without any laughter. He said, "And if not?"
Chen Liguo said, "You’re dreaming."
Yan Jingyi heard Chen Liguo’s decisive rejection and the hand that was originally on Chen Liguo’s shoulders suddenly grabbed Chen Liguo’s neck.
Strangled by Yan Jingyi, Chen Liguo couldn’t breathe easily and couldn’t help but struggle.
Yan Jingyi didn’t relent at all. The way he looked when teasing Chen Liguo was like he was teasing an interesting little animal.
Chen Liguo’s sight darkened, but he felt Yan Jingyi unfasten the buttons on his chest one by one. The hand on his neck was like cast iron, rendering him immobile.
Yan Jingyi gently removed Chen Liguo’s clothes. He looked at Chen Liguo’s thin chest then cried out softly, "Lord Ji.”
Chen Liguo’s eyes overflowed with tears, both his hands grabbed at Yan Jingyi’s hand, but his strength compared to Yan Jingyi was like an ant trying to shake a big tree[1].
Yan Jingyi looked down at Chen Liguo, without an ounce of pity in his eyes. Rather there was a kind of malicious interest. He softly called out: "Lord Ji", then asked Chen Liguo if he wanted to consider it again.
Chen Liguo still had a trace of consciousness. Although he wants to, he knows he can’t really submit so easily—While he acts as another person, if at the incorrect time, he changes the fate of the character with his subjective will, then he would be ejected from the world. This was the conclusion that Chen Liguo drew in the first world, an utterly unpleasant conclusion.
As for the degree of subjectiveness and passiveness, almost all was up to the System’s discretion.
So while Chen Liguo was strangled by Yan Jingyi like chicken, he was consulting with the System.
Chen Liguo: "I am going to die, I am going to die—System!”
The system neither coldly nor insipidly, made an "oh" sound.
Chen Liguo had tears in his eyes: "I really am going to be choked to death."
System: “He won’t kill you.”
Chen Liguo already stopped struggling and said, "And in the case he loses control?"
The system said: "I’ll take responsibility."
Chen Liguo："......"
In such circumstances, it was still the system who was reasonable. The unreasonable one was always Chen Liguo. If he says that Chen Liguo would not be strangled to death by Yan Jingyi, then Chen Liguo really wouldn’t be strangled to death by Yan Jingyi.
Yan Jingyi really did remove his hand. He saw that a clear mark of fingerprints appear on Chen Liguo’s white neck, and not only did he not feel an ounce of guilt, but he actually laughed instead. He called out, "Lord Ji."
This tone of his cry ’Lord Ji’ was sad beyond words[2] and gave Chen Liguo goosebumps all over his body. With tears in his eyes, he really wanted to say to Yan Jingyi, "Big Brother, if you want to climb on then climb on, to use these sort of tricks, you have to pay more money."
“How could you have cried?” Yan Jingyi’s finger caressed the corner of Chen Liguo’s eye and smiled softly, “How cute.”
Chen Liguo: “...” Even if you praise me in such a way, I won’t be happy.
Yan Jingyi said, "Lord Ji, you must consider it again, this time I stopped my hand, next time.... I might not do so."
Chen Liguo sneered. His voice sounded extremely hoarse because of his throat. He said, “So sorry to have caused you so much concern, Third Prince[3].”
Yan Jingyi furrowed his brows, seeming a little distressed. He said, "Lord Ji, why do you always make things difficult for me?"
This look, it was as if the one who had been wronged was him. Chen Liguo gritted his teeth and said, "You’re dreaming."
Yan Jingyi’s smile faded. He looked down at Chen Liguo’s white chest. Before Chen Liguo could respond, he directly lowered his head—and bit Chen Liguo’s throat.
This bite was merciless. Chen Liguo’s entire body trembled in pain, his neck was forced to rise, like a swan nearing death.
Fortunately, Yan Jingyi didn’t mean to directly bite Chen Liguo to death. After breaking through the skin, he removed his mouth, stared at the teeth print with interest for a while, then turned over and got out of bed.
Chen Liguo: "..." Big brother, you strangled and even bit, where’s the meat show[4]? Don’t tell me it’s over!!!
Yan Jingyi said, "Today, I’ll let you go this once."
Chen Liguo: "!!!!" How miserable!
Yan Jingyi said, "I’ll give Lord Ji a few days to think about it carefully."
Chen Liguo’s entire face had no love[5].
Yan Jingyi said, "If Lord Ji still cannot understand—then I’ll come and advise you again.”
Chen Liguo heard this and unexpectedly somewhat choked with emotion.
Yan Jingyi said, “Then I’ll take leave first.”
Chen Liguo heard the sound of the door opening and closing, but there was only one sad thought in his heart: I’ve already taken my pants off, and you only show me this?!
While Chen Liguo was silent in his grief that he could not extricate himself from, his little manservant had managed to sneak in quietly without him noticing.
When Le Qi saw the teeth prints on Chen Liguo and the clothes scattered on the bed, he immediately breathed a breath of cold air. His voice shook as he called out: "Milord."
Chen Liguo woke up from his grief with a start and said, “He left?”
Le Qi nodded softly and said, “Milord... Do you need me to call a doctor for you?
Chen Liguo shook his head heavily and said, “Get me some hot water, I want to bathe.”
Le Qi also didn’t dare to ask any more questions so he turned around and went out.
A moment later, he prepared the hot water, put Chen Liguo into the bathtub, and very conscientiously went outside.
Chen Liguo sat in the bathtub surrounded by smoke, his legs were weak, his neck carried strangulation marks and bite marks, his eyes were filled with sorrow....
Chen Liguo washed himself with clean water and said to himself, “I’m so dirty. What should I do? I feel so dirty...”
He watched the water running over his shoulder, and choked slightly: “My body is so broken...”
System："......"
Chen Liguo: “System, why won’t you speak?”
System: “Because I’m not allowed to swear.”
Chen Liguo immediately changed his expression and looked sad. “You, even you dislike me? I, I might as well die!”
System: "Hurry up while it’s still hot."
Chen Liguo: "Hehehe I was tricking you, I can’t bear to die."
System："......"
Chen Liguo: "Ai, his strength is so great! The teeth marks on my neck are very neat, hey hey, look at the two powerful teeth incisions."
System："......"
Chen Liguo: “It must be nice when kissing.”
System: “...” He is really annoying.
Chen Liguo likes to play tricks on the system when he is idle. When the system has nothing to say[6], he is the happiest.
Chen Liguo said, “Do you regret that you chose me at that time?”
He was hit by a truck in his original world, and his life ended. But then he had been pulled into these strange worlds by the system, and the system told him that as long as satisfies the conditions given, he could resurrect.
At first, Chen Liguo was very positive, but then he thought about it seriously. How can he go back? After returning, the one he had been longing for over ten years might have already forgotten him. So the world where he is currently is not half bad.
System: “If I can get a refund, I would have already gotten one."
Chen Liguo: “Once bought, it cannot be refunded.”
Chen Liguo was talking to the System while washing, so this bath took a bit longer.
Just as Le Qi, who stood outside the bathroom and was worried about what happened to his family’s Lord, was about to rush in, Chen Liguo called out faintly, "Le Qi."
Le Qi responded with an ’ai’ sound.
Chen Liguo said: “Come in.”
Le Qi came in and saw Chen Liguo who had his back turned to him. He looked at Chen Liguo’s back and saw a hint of desolation. He cried out cautiously, “Milord?”
Chen Liguo said, "Hmm? Let’s get out."
“Yes.” Le Qi came over, put Chen Liguo in his wheelchair and pushed him to his bedroom.
Chen Liguo’s eyes were half-closed the whole way, looking as though he were utterly exhausted.
Le Qi said, “Milord...”
Chen Liguo said, "Speak."
Le Qi said, "You, do you hate the third prince?"
Chen Liguo looked at Le Qi in a way that was neither miserly nor weak, “Hate him for what?”
Le Qi said, "He treats you in such a way...."
Chen Liguo laughed in self-mockery and said, "If I were the Third prince’s aide[7], I would praise his methods, but unfortunately I’m not——”
Le Qi listened confusedly.
Chen Liguo said, “I just hate that I chose the wrong master.”
The author has something to say:
The Shou doesn’t treat these worlds like reality and treats them as though he were playing an immersive RPG game. Evidently, he believes that when playing games, integrity or moral principle is unnecessary.
