Chapter 293: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (41)
Jun Jiuling looked at her, feeling wronged and staring pitifully.
Shen Mubai couldn’t resist that look and sighed, “Just stay for a little while.”
Jun Jiuling’s eyes curved with happiness. “Okay.”
The result was that Shen Mubai was once again squeezed into bed, with Jun Jiuling hugging her tightly like a clingy koala.
Shen Mubai felt his face buried in her neck.
This childlike behavior made her think nothing of it, and she squirmed, “Stop it; it tickles.”
Jun Jiuling inhaled her scent and murmured, “No, Bai Bai smells so nice.”
Shen Mubai laughed in exasperation, feeling like he was treating her as a scented sachet.
Luckily, Jun Jiuling behaved himself and didn’t move around too much, and they just cuddled for a while.
With questions lingering in her mind, Shen Mubai tentatively asked, “Do you know where you are?”
“…Yes.”
The response was confused but firm. After answering, Jun Jiuling hugged her tightly again and muttered, “Bai Bai, will you be my wife? I’ll be really, really good to you.”
Caught off guard by this topic again, Shen Mubai was speechless. Eventually, she mumbled, “We’ll talk about this later.”
She figured she could stall him, hoping that her mission progress would reach 100% soon.
Jun Jiuling smiled and said, “Alright.”
He thought to himself that his mother had said that love grows over time. One day, Bai Bai would surely like him.
The night outside was deep and dark, and the faint light from the window cast shadows near the table. Shen Mubai yawned and was about to say something when her mouth and nose were suddenly covered.
Warm breath brushed her ear as a low voice said, “Someone’s here.”
Shen Mubai’s eyes widened, and she held her breath.
A bamboo tube silently pierced the paper window, and wisps of smoke drifted in. Moments later, two masked men in black broke through the window, their blades gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
Their movements were silent and precise, approaching the bed with trained efficiency.
Upon seeing the lump under the covers, they raised their eyebrows slightly and stabbed towards the presumed vital spots. When there was no expected resistance or muffled sound, their hearts sank.
“Are you looking for me?” A voice sounded behind them.
The two men’s eyes twitched. Before they could turn around, pain pierced their hearts, and they collapsed to the ground, unable to move or make a sound. Their faces turned red and blue, looking terrifying.
The exceptionally handsome man looked down at them, his expression unreadable.
One of the men widened his eyes in horror, struggling to speak as his throat was in pain. “You…you’re…not…caught off guard…”
Jun Jiuling tilted his head, his tone innocent.
“But it’s more than enough to kill you.”
With that, the two men spat out blood and died completely.
Shen Mubai swallowed hard, staring at Jun Jiuling, who had just been as clingy as a child but now had killed people and was speaking so calmly.
Sensing her tension and fear, Jun Jiuling walked over, took her hand, and whispered, “Bai Bai, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
