Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 929 - 81: Drinking His Blood, Dispelling the Poison

Chapter 929: Chapter 81: Drinking His Blood, Dispelling the Poison

In the dungeon of the Crown Prince Mansion, Dugu Xiu walked in.

Yun Sheng was locked in a Magic Soul Lock, but she could still move freely.

She didn’t move, sitting cross-legged on one side of the dungeon, her eyes tightly shut, her long eyelashes illuminated by the Lighting Magic Array, as transparent and slender as butterfly wings.

Despite being a prisoner, she remained neat and clean, like a solitary orchid blooming on the other shore, standing gracefully.

Dugu Xiu felt a moment of suffocation.

The Sky Fox Clan, legendary for their heavenly beauty, Yun Sheng truly lived up to the Sky Fox name.

But why did he only learn today that she was a descendant of the Heavenly Fox?

"Three days from now, you will be executed at Beidou Martial Arts Academy. This time, I can’t protect you," Dugu Xiu observed Yun Sheng’s expression, yet she didn’t even blink.

Dugu Sheng thought she would have some reaction, at least to open her eyes and rebuke him.

But the dungeon remained silent.

Yun Sheng was like a shadow in the corner; even her breathing didn’t falter.

Dugu Xiu couldn’t help but smile bitterly, thinking this was truly Yun Sheng. If she had shown fear or pleaded, that would have been strange.

"Do you guess Ye Beiming will come? But no matter if he comes or not, you will die. Yun Sheng, why are you a Heavenly Fox descendant? If you weren’t from the Fox Clan, I would have considered eloping with you. How about it? Consider accepting my love confession, and I will forsake the throne and take you away," Dugu Xiu whispered dangerously in Yun Sheng’s ear, blowing a breath toward her.

"Dugu Xiu, I don’t like you. Moreover, you’re not the type to give up everything for a woman," Yun Sheng’s eyelids fluttered, then she opened her eyes, with evident disdain.

Seeing Yun Sheng react, Dugu Xiu actually found joy.

"Haha, Yun Sheng, why are you a woman? If you were a man, we’d either be bosom friends or mortal enemies. Yes, I can’t let go, whether it’s my Empress Dowager or the Qin throne. My fate was sealed twenty years ago," Dugu Xiu laughed out loud, yet there was no hint of joy in his voice.

Disregarding the dungeon’s filth, he sat down, and from his storage belt, retrieved two wine jars, one big and one small.

"I’m in a bad mood today, how about you drink with me," Dugu Xiu shook the wine in his hand, knowing well Yun Sheng wouldn’t agree.

Yet he remained unyielding, brought it up again, until the woman rejected him decisively, his heart sank heavily, bit by bit.

He tossed a bottle to Yun Sheng, tilted his neck back, and gulped down wine, using the alcohol to numb the pain in his heart.

Yun Sheng hesitated for a moment, without drinking.

"If you don’t drink, I don’t mind feeding you mouth to mouth. Rest assured, there’s no drug in the wine," Dugu Xiu downed half the bottle, his face flushed like fiery clouds against his fire-red hair.

Hearing this, Yun Sheng scoffed, and she could only take a sip.

With one sip, Yun Sheng steadied herself, she eyed the wine, clearly surprised.

This wine in the jar...

The wine was Hou Qin’s unique Barley Wine, strong and pungent, leaving Yun Sheng unaccustomed after years of drinking Elf Fruit Wine.

Most notably, the wine carried a strong bloody taste.

"No need to look; there’s my blood in the wine. Since you’re going to die, whether your Soul Dreaming exists or not makes no difference," Dugu Xiu took a swig, pretending mightily.

No wonder, he looked pale upon entering.

Only heart’s blood can unlock Soul Dreaming, and that blood in the wine...

Yun Sheng clutched the wine jar, her heart a mix of emotions.

Yun Sheng sighed, not without feeling moved by Dugu Xiu, but she could only apologize to him.

A thought occurred to Yun Sheng, she realized Dugu Xiu wished for her to escape.

Director Song and Hei Linlin aimed to kill her, Dugu Xiu couldn’t dissuade them, so he returned the Beast Language Ring to her, but whether she could flee depended on her own ability.

This man truly loved her.

"Yun Sheng, why won’t you accept me, the Crown Prince? Is it because I’m not good enough, handsome enough, considerate and gentle enough?" Dugu Xiu seized the chance with the drink to voice the hidden words in his heart.

Toward Yun Sheng, Dugu Xiu went from anger to curiosity, to aggression, always believing no woman could resist his charms.

Yet Yun Sheng remained unaffected.

Faced with Dugu Xiu’s question, Yun Sheng pondered.

She reflected on all Dugu Xiu had done.

"You’re fine, but we’re incompatible. Dugu Xiu, your heart is too vast, mine is small, only holding one person. I recall telling you before, I, Yun Sheng, will only marry a man who marries only me."

Indeed, Yun Sheng didn’t understand why she wouldn’t accept Dugu Xiu.

Judging by his circumstances, Dugu Xiu offered her nothing but the best.

Even when Hou Qin Palace was stirred into chaos by her, he fought desperately to ensure her safety.

Though this time, under Director Song and Hei Linlin’s pressure, he had to make her a scapegoat.

Thinking it over, Yun Sheng could only conclude Dugu Xiu was too unfaithful.

A two-timing Liu Minglang gave Yun Sheng a prejudiced impression, so toward "married man" Dugu Xiu, Yun Sheng was resolutely opposed from the start.

"Then what about Ye Beiming, do you love him?" Dugu Xiu looked sideways, squinting, and asked reluctantly.

Yun Sheng was momentarily lost for words, intending to deny it swiftly, yet whether from the alcohol or otherwise, she inexplicably recalled that day, in the dilapidated room.

Ye Beiming held her, whispering like a lover in her ear, "Yun Sheng, you’re a woman, if you’re tired, weary, I’m here for everything."

This phrase lingered, revolving in Yun Sheng’s ears, so even facing execution three days hence, she remained fearless, because she knew this man would surely come to save her.

Thinking of this, Yun Sheng felt as if her tongue were tied, unable to speak the word "no."

Dugu Xiu felt bitter, the wine had long lost its taste.

Yun Sheng remained stubbornly unaware, but he saw it clearly.

His love confession could be decisively refused by Yun Sheng.

But when asking about Ye Beiming, Yun Sheng’s eyes had a hint of intoxication, her cheeks flushed with blush.

In the end, he was defeated by Ye Beiming, even though both of them bore the Black Qilin Clan’s blood, yet that man, his half-brother, had already taken root in this woman’s heart.

Haha, so what? What he couldn’t have, Ye Beiming wouldn’t get either.

That night, Dugu Xiu drank ten full wine jars in the dungeon without much word, just drinking silently until dawn, then he rose.

Before leaving, he kicked a jar to pieces, spoke gloomily, "Yun Sheng, if Ye Beiming comes this time, I will kill him, definitely." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

His fierce manner made Yun Sheng a bit startled.

After speaking, Dugu Xiu walked out, leaving shattered porcelain all around.
