Chapter 275: The Burning Love in the Cave (Part II)

"Since you're back, come and apply some medicine for this princess."

Sitting up directly, Su Rao didn't bother to check if the person entering was Xian Yi Chisha; she simply undid her buttons, slipped off her inner shirt, and exposed her back.

"Hurry up, it hurts a lot. It's a beast's claws, there might be some infection."

The person behind her remained silent, and Su Rao immediately became impatient.

"What kind of man are you, dilly-dallying like this? This princess doesn't care, and you, a grown man..."

Her forehead was burning hot; Su Rao had a fever. Though she seemed awake, her mind was already somewhat muddled.

"A man and a woman alone together, Rao Rao doesn't care. So it's true, Rao Rao isn't just like this with Ah Xiao. If that plan of Rao Rao's had succeeded, Rao Rao would have already married someone else, never having intimate moments with Ah Xiao, let alone falling in love with him."

This low murmur came from the person who had removed the blindfold from his eyes. These slender phoenix eyes no longer held the bright luster of black onyx but were filled with deep sorrow.

He seemed somewhat abnormal, yet not entirely so.

He just looked at Su Rao, at the blood-red claw marks on her exposed back, which were particularly prominent under the flickering campfire, piercing Yun Ji's eyes even more painfully.

Even when he was blind, he had never felt such pain.

But no matter how much his eyes hurt, it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart that made Yun Ji suffer.

After a long time, Yun Ji did not move closer until Su Rao turned around, completely losing her patience.

In her peach-blossom eyes, Yue Hua's reflection appeared instead of Xian Yi Chisha's dark figure. Su Rao suddenly regained her senses.

Her gaze fell on the slender figure standing at the cave entrance, as if all the chaos outside had vanished, and she could no longer hear the sound of the heavy rain.

She was completely stunned.

After a moment, she shook her head and laughed.

"Xian Yi Chisha, Han Mochen, why are you wearing Yun Ji's clothes? Are you trying to trick this princess? How could this princess possibly mistake you? With those icy eyes, how could I ever confuse them?"

Her mind seemed to be clouded by the fever. She wobbled to her feet, swaying like she was drunk, and stumbled toward Yun Ji.

Her clothes still unbuttoned, the bright red belly band was exposed before Yun Ji's eyes.

A cold wind blew in from the cave entrance, making Su Rao shiver, and her muddled mind finally cleared, allowing her to see the face before her clearly.

"Yun... Ji..."

Her peach-blossom eyes widened, and Su Rao retreated in panic, tripping over some grass on the ground and falling backward.

In her panic, she grabbed Yun Ji's collar, and both of them tumbled to the ground.

In an instant, Yun Ji wrapped his arms around Su Rao's waist, flipping their positions just before they hit the ground, so that Su Rao landed on top of him, cushioned by his body.

Just like that time when they fell off the cliff.

"Um..."

Yun Ji let out a muffled groan.

Although there were no sharp rocks this time, the fall was still extremely painful, especially with Su Rao's weight on top of him.

"Yun Ji, are you alright..."

Su Rao was even more panicked, quickly getting up to help Yun Ji, but he pulled her down again.

His lips descended upon hers, as if trying to devour her whole, the taste of blood spreading through their mouths.

Such sudden and forceful intimacy.

"Um..."

Her lips were bitten, and Su Rao's initial shock from Yun Ji's sudden, almost frenzied actions began to fade.

"Um um..."

She struggled, but Yun Ji's arms were too strong, and she couldn't break free, let alone fight back.

Finally, Yun Ji released her mouth and let go of her.

Slap...

A loud slap echoed as it struck Yun Ji's face.

"Yun Ji, what are you doing, do you know what you're doing..."

"Ha, ha..."

Yun Ji laughed.

"So, all the affection was just Rao Rao's means to an end, treating Ah Xiao this way, and now, treating Xian Yi Chisha the same."

A smile played on his lips, but tears streamed down from the corners of his eyes.

Yun Ji sat up, the red mark from the slap prominent on his left cheek.

His phoenix eyes stared straight at Su Rao, or rather, at her disheveled inner shirt.

The sorrow within him was like the collapse of an entire world.

It seemed that the person at this moment was neither Yun Ji nor Han Mochen, but Ah Xiao, yet not entirely Ah Xiao.

The hand with which Su Rao struck Yun Ji now trembled uncontrollably.

Force acts in equal and opposite pairs.

Her palm hurt terribly.

But compared to the pain in her hand, Yun Ji's words hurt her even more.

After a moment of silence, she finally laughed:

"Any means necessary, yes! I am such a person, always have been. It’s just that you couldn’t see it, couldn’t see it at all. I’ve said before that I’ve never been a good person, and I won’t be one."

Standing up, Su Rao turned away and pulled up her disheveled inner robe.

"So you’re not blind after all! You really aren’t a good person! Since you’ve seen and heard everything, there’s no need to say more. It was you who taught me, you who told me to take down Xian Yi Chisha."

"Cough..."

A drop of blood at the corner of his mouth was quickly wiped away by Yun Ji, suppressing the sudden surge within him, the sorrow in his phoenix eyes vanished.

"Rao Rao, I just had an episode, it wasn’t intentional."

With these words, Yun Ji stood up, the frown on his handsome face deepening, a trace of distress more evident.

"Don’t be angry, alright? Let’s not part on bad terms. Yun Ji doesn’t want this outcome, doesn’t want our love to end in tragedy. Yun Ji is afraid he won’t be able to bear it."

Su Rao’s brows furrowed tightly for a moment, her delicate hands clenched even tighter. He had an episode?

"What a novel excuse. How did I not know you have the habit of forcing others when you have an episode?"

Su Rao didn’t believe it; she suspected Yun Ji had overheard her conversation with Xian Yi Chisha.

And seen her teasing behavior while applying medicine to Xian Yi Chisha, as well as her words when undressing herself afterward.

He wasn’t blind after all, yet pretended to be from start to finish. What a fine Prince of Clear Moon! He had deceived her again.

The peach blossom hue around her eyes deepened.

"Cough..."

Another cough.

"Puff..."

Yun Ji tried to suppress his voice, but another cough escaped, and a mouthful of blood finally spurted out.

"Sorry, Rao Rao."

Leaving these words, Yun Ji quickly turned and walked away.

Just as he took a step, his arm was grabbed.

The blood on the ground, vividly red, filled Su Rao’s peach blossom eyes with blood.

"How could this happen?"

Gripping Yun Ji’s wrist, she felt the erratic pulse, and in that instant, looked out at the torrential rain outside, another rainy night.

"You got caught in the rain again."

Only now did she notice Yun Ji’s drenched YueHua robe.

Though the fire in the cave was no longer strong, the wood nearly burned out, she saw clearly the disheveled Yun Ji.

He sought death in such a way...

"If you want to die, then go far, very far."

With a low, forceful growl, Su Rao pushed Yun Ji away.

"Go, get lost..."

Her face was filled with intense anger.
