[TCFO] Arc 3 – Chapter 122

The Vicious Princess Wants to Reverse Fate (16)

Shangguan Qi had always been cool and indifferent, rarely showing any emotional excitement or leakage, so he always gives people a sense of unpredictability. He doesn't seem like an ordinary person in the mortal world.

However, the Valley of Divine Physicians people are afraid of him because he always likes to be alone. His eyes appear calm but can reveal the icy coldness beneath that calm gaze. Moreover, his personality is somewhat strange. He strongly dislikes others touching his belongings or disobeying his orders. If there's something he doesn't want them to do, nobody in the Valley of Divine Physicians dares to do it.

Unfortunately, Zhou Min, wearing a strapless dress, approached and pinched his chin. Facing his cold and icy gaze, Zhou Min couldn't help but tremble.

Shangguan Qi coldly looked at her and said, "Get out! I don't mind fulfilling your wish if you want to die!"

She clenched her teeth, raised her hands, and undressed Shangguan Qi. No matter how much encouragement and motivation Zhou Min gave herself or how calm her expression was, her trembling hands still betrayed her true feelings!

Feeling the chilling aura emanating from Shangguan Qi's body and the gaze that seemed to turn into icy arrows aimed at her face, Zhou Min swallowed her saliva. Her right hand was already useless, and she could only exert strength with her left hand. So untying the straps on his clothes was already difficult, and the pressure in her heart made her hands tremble even more. The sash around her waist became more tangled the more she trembled, and in the end, she tied it into a knot. Zhou Min was on the verge of tears.

His teeth had almost bitten his lip, but what shocked him even more was the woman in front of him. She was trying hard to remain calm but anxiously attempted to undo his clothes with one hand.

Despite the waves of pain attacking his body, he firmly grabbed the delicate wrist that stubbornly struggled with his waist and sash.

"Zhou Min, do you want to die?" he said. As he uttered these words, blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth, dropping onto his moon-white brocade robe, causing Zhou Min's pupils to widen involuntarily.

Zhou Min lifted her head and gazed at him intensely. Although she was backlit by the flames, Shangguan Qi was still taken aback by the determination in her watery eyes.

But in an instant, he snapped back to his senses, and a sinister and terrifying laughter escaped from his lips. "Hehe, is the princess of Zhou Kingdom so desperate for a man?"

Coupled with his dark purple complexion, it truly gave Zhou Min a feeling of encountering a ghost, and his gaze made her uneasy.

Zhou Min's body tensed slightly as if his words had caused her heart to ache a little. "Yes, I need a man, and you will do just fine! I don't mind you."

Her words instantly made Shangguan Qi's expression even more unpleasant. His eyes were no longer cool and indifferent but rather like two flames starting to burn.

Zhou Min felt awkward. She didn't intend to say that, but at that moment, she seemed to have lost her rationality due to Shangguan Qi's verbal insults.

At present, Shangguan Qi seemed to have little strength left in his body, while Zhou Min was a person with internal strength. Although her right hand was disabled, she was still fearless compared to the person afflicted by poison.

With a shake of her left hand, Zhou Min pulled her wrist out of Shangguan Qi's grip and used her internal strength to shatter the sash around his waist. The moon-white brocade robe instantly opened wide, revealing the undershirt inside.

"Zhou Min!" Shangguan Qi stared at his loosely hanging clothes, gnashing his teeth. For the first time, his emotions went beyond his expectations.

"You're seeking death."

"Suit yourself."

Shangguan Qi's skin looked swollen, and his eye sockets were bloodshot. The pain made him unable to help but want to bite his lip again, but Zhou Min was quicker and stuffed her right-hand palm into his mouth.

His teeth suddenly bit down on Zhou Min's palm, causing sharp pain that made her tremble. Was he trying to bite off a piece of her flesh? This type of permanent pain-free potion – he wanted to return it!

Shangguan Qi also felt the softness that suddenly entered his mouth. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Min's furrowed brows and the lingering taste of rust and blood in his mouth. His eyes stared at her fixedly for a long time, his expression uncertain.

Zhou Min, however, only glanced at him lightly, then quickly undressed him with her left hand. A gust of cold wind blew by, causing Shangguan Qi to shiver. Only then did he realise that while his mind was distracted, Zhou Min had already stripped off his upper garments.

Shangguan Qi turned his head, and Zhou Min's right hand, which had become weak, dropped from his mouth. Shangguan Qi suddenly sneered, "Princess, have you become so desperate that you won't even spare a disabled person?"

Shangguan Qi may have been physically disabled, despite his skilful hands and feet. But in his heart, even though he possessed admirable medical and martial arts skills, he still considered himself useless and crippled. Perhaps others could never understand the pain he could heal but not alleviate.

However, his self-mockery caused a painful tugging in Zhou Min's heart. She undressed and embraced Shangguan Qi completely naked, their skins pressed against each other. Both of them trembled simultaneously. "Shangguan Qi, you're not a useless person. You're my god!"

Zhou Min's words made Shangguan Qi tremble slightly. When stunned, Zhou Min took the opportunity to press him down onto the grass covered with fabric. Zhou Min had already thrown his clothes far away, fearing his silver needle. However, when she approached Shangguan Qi, she had already been on guard against his silver needle.

She breathed a sigh of relief only when she threw his clothes far away.

Only when she pinned Shangguan Qi down and sat on top of him did he come to his senses from Zhou Min's previous words. But at this moment, he only felt humiliation and disgrace, especially when he looked at his body covered in visible marks of bruises and rapid deterioration, like dry firewood. This scene left Zhou Min wide-eyed and tongue-tied as if witnessing the moment a living person turned into a dried corpse.

To Shangguan Qi beneath her, Zhou Min's shocked gaze felt like an insult and mockery. Perhaps it was the power of his subconscious or his sudden rebellion against having his pride and dignity exposed and trampled upon. Still, his long-suppressed internal strength suddenly burst forth at that moment, and he struck Zhou Min away with a palm.

If it weren't for protecting Zhou Min in time, her life might have been taken instantly. However, Zhou Min still suffered severe internal injuries. Her body fell to the ground, and a surge of blood and qi churned in her chest, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.
