A rebellious minister forced me to be a foolish king

Chapter 635: Soul Granted
After making Yuwen Huaibi angry and leaving, and closing the door, Gao Yanzong turned around with his chest puffed out and his head raised arrogantly.

He was looking into the eyes of the girl in front of him who was staring at him with her arms folded.

As her gaze slid downward, Gao Yanzong followed her gaze and felt his ears suddenly feel hot. He closed his legs and pulled at the hem of his wet cloak to block his gaze.

"I came out in a hurry, so I didn't dress properly."

"You didn't mean to do that?"

Gao Yanzong simply gave up, raised his eyelids, and smiled with his peach blossom eyes. "So what?"

Yuan Wuyou couldn't bear it any longer, so he grabbed the man's wrist which was holding his clothes, dragged him into the inner room, walked straight around the bathtub, and pushed him onto the couch.

"What did you promise me just now? Didn't you say you wouldn't cause me any trouble?"

The man in the wet cloak was already tall and slender. When he was thrown on the bed, his thin white legs, which had not been wiped off the water stains, left the ground stiffly and helplessly, and his calves hit the edge of the bed.

The bedding beneath him was instantly soaked by him. He frowned in pain and was about to rub it when the girl standing at the head of the bed pressed on him.

"Everyone knows about our relationship, do you still want to force us to get married?"

The girl supported her hands on his waist and leaned close to him, almost face to face, her amber eyes narrowed slightly, full of aggression.

Gao Yanzong's face was calm but his eyes were depressed.

"I was wrong, but I couldn't help it. I didn't mean to assert my sovereignty beyond my ability, but listen to what he just said... If I don't go out, do I have to wait until he comes into the house with you before I can find out that there is someone in the house?"

"Nonsense, is it your turn to be jealous?"

Gao Yanzong raised his eyes, his affectionate peach blossom eyes were filled with a smile, "Putting aside the fact that we are not a good match, you were with... no, I was with you first," he said firmly. "Can't I be jealous?"

"Pfft..."

"What are you laughing at... Never mind, just laugh. Why am I able to come from behind and win? Because I fight and compete."

Yuan Wuyou wasn't too angry at first, but since he had reasons to make trouble, he forgave him.

Just then, she caught a glimpse of his heaving chest under his wet cloak, and remembered that he must have come directly out of the bathtub, so she turned her head away.

"Go ahead and wash. I'll go out and avoid it."

As he spoke, Yuan Wuyou withdrew his hands that were supporting his sides.

When she stood up and was about to leave, the man suddenly sat up and grabbed her right wrist.
"Actually, I'm done. Don't hide from me."

She glanced at the man sitting on the edge of the bed and said, "Let go. I'm not interested in you anymore."

The man raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkling, "Nonsense! If you say you don't like me anymore, it's still somewhat believable, but it's impossible to say you have no interest in me. There is no man in the world who is more coquettish than me."

Yuan Wuyou was almost so angry that he laughed, "Where do you get your confidence from? You're as thin as a mantis, how can you be coquettish?"

"Yes, I am not good-looking and my figure is not good, but when did I take drugs? Isn't it just to please you?"

As he spoke, Gao Yanzong gently slid the fingers of her slender hand across her soft palm, while looking up to observe her reaction.

Seeing that she didn't stop me or say anything, the tips of her two white ears suddenly turned pink, so I knew she was reacting.

Gao Yanzong knew what was going on, so he followed the clasped hands and pulled the girl into his arms, letting her rest her stiff hands on the mattress on both sides of his waist, but observing the proper manners and not touching his body.

The man had reddish corners of his eyes and a seductive smile in his peach blossom eyes.

"Don't be so old-fashioned. Do you want to learn from the old Taoist priests in Maoshan to practice self-cultivation and abstinence? Young girls should be more lively and not indulge in worldly affairs."

He turned to play with her hair with his fingers, and said affectionately, "They say that beauty gives souls. My beauty has given me souls, so can't you resonate with my soul?"

Yuan Wuyou looked at the seductive male fox under him, and felt his heart aroused. He gritted his teeth and said in hatred: "Fox spirit!"

"So you are Taoist nun Kun, are you here to capture the monster?"

"Do you really need to be punished?"

Gao Yanzong smiled. "Your Majesty, I believe you."

"Trust me what?"

"I believe you can help me become an immortal, and I believe you can... pull me to shore. So I want to build a good relationship with you now, because when the day comes when I become a boat without a mooring, I still hope you can give me a place to go."

Yuan Wuyou knew how difficult it was for him to say such trusting words given his suspicious nature. She didn't say anything else, but just pinched his face, and her skin felt wet.

Only then did she remember that he was wet, and her clothes were soaked by this hug.

"Take off your wet clothes, or you'll get sick. I'm going to go out for a while, and you have to take care of yourself."

As she spoke, Yuan Wuyou climbed up from him again, but just as she stood up, he grabbed one of her hands again, and then, as she watched, he gently kissed her palm.

Then he raised the upturned corners of his scarlet eyes and looked at her.

"You can despise me as much as you want. I am just like this, without principles and shame. I used to think that we were both a burden to each other, but now that I see that you can stand on your own and be so powerful, I am dragging this burden with me to come back and please you."

Yuan Wuyou knew this was going to happen, so he wasn't surprised. He just said calmly, "I'm just asking you to rest for a while. You'll leave soon."

Seeing that she was so determined to distance herself from him, Gao Yanzong chuckled.

"If you dislike me, why don't you just throw me out on the street?"

"Whoever it was just now, I couldn't bear to throw it on the street."

After hearing this, the man smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I knew I had abandoned you so many times, and now I'm coming to you again with a desire for power, you will only hate me. But from the beginning to the end, all I wanted was to be your shameful mistress. I used all my tricks, just to make you take advantage of me to your heart's content, and still miss me the most in the future."

Yuan Wuyou was stunned by what she said, but she still pried his hands apart and threw him on the bed.

As a result, Gao Yanzong suddenly took off his wet cloak anxiously.

Yuan Wuyou hurriedly turned around and left, but was stopped by him!
"Wait! This is your stuff."

When she looked back, she saw Gao Yanzong wearing a white lining that was soaked through his skin, revealing a wad of wet white cloth hidden in the cross-collar.

Then he stared at her with his brown eyes and asked her seriously, "Should I return it to you? This is the one I washed for you last time. It was originally dried, but now... it's soaked again."

Yuan Wuyou was shocked and embarrassed when she saw him holding her underwear.

"Why are you keeping it? And even hiding it in your clothes?"

"This is something that you carry with you. Putting it in a place that's close to my heart will make it feel like you're by my side. As for the demon, I don't have those thoughts." Yuan Wuyou wanted to snatch it and burn it, but he felt that the reaction was too big, so he waved his hand helplessly.

"Okay, keep it if you like it."

Gao Yanzong was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he blinked his long eyelashes.

"I just thought that next time you come to my place, you will at least have underwear to change into." After a pause, he still hesitated to speak.

"I won't think of you while looking at your little clothes... I regard everything you give me as my own body and hair. I cannot give it up and I will not desecrate it."

"...Alright, alright," Yuan Wuyou couldn't help but snatch the white cloth from his hand, "I'd better throw it away. The jade bracelet is enough for me."

Having said that, he turned around and threw the moxa on the ground into the incense burner that was used to remove moisture.

Gao Yanzong, who was sitting beside the bed, watched her get angry and take off her underwear, but did not dare to say a word.

When she turned back again, her gaze was cold and slightly interrogative.

Gao Yanzong hurriedly defended himself.

"I'm not that... hungry. Some men might flirt with a girl's handkerchief and bellyband, but I think that's too dirty. I've never had that kind of thought. I kept your clothes because I wanted to return them to you. I really didn't..."

"Okay, stop explaining."

This topic was really awkward. Yuan Wuyou, who was still angry, felt annoyed and hurried to stop it.

But her gloomy eyes and angry tone made Gao Yanzong think she was angry. He was a little frustrated, "You must have never had such doubts about your fourth brother?"

"You two have been together for more than 20 years, so you should know better than me what he is like in private."

Seeing her practicing Tai Chi with him again, Gao Yanzong felt sad and suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"What can you do? A pure boy is just not smart. You can't force him even if you want to. And you think the coquettish playboy is worldly."

"I don't mind."

"So you still misunderstood me?"

"Tsk, if you keep talking I'll kick you out."

"No, I have to wait for Xiao Tongyan too. The emperor ordered me to find the jade seal, so I have to pretend to work hard."

"You are the only one who can say that you are using me so confidently."

Gao Yanzong stretched out his body calmly, stretched his muscles and legs, and then lay down on the bed, supporting himself with one hand and waving at her with the other, "Come here, you can use me too."

"Is your body made of iron? Are you still not satisfied?"

"What are you thinking about? I saw that you were tired, so I just wanted to coax you to rest." After a pause, the man raised his eyes and teased.
"Why, when you see me, that's the only thought in your mind? You're a horny little girl, it's really hard to please. I can't stand it any longer."

Yuan Wuyou's eyes darkened.
"...Just fast? I want to see when you reach your limit."

Gao Yanzong silently pulled the quilt beside him and wrapped it around himself.

"I've already felt it, and I don't want to experience it again."

"Oh? When?"

"I won't tell you, so you don't use this to control me. I'm here for profit, please respect yourself, I'm selling my body, not my art."

"Huh? What? Which of us should respect ourselves?"

Yuan Wuyou was confused and felt ridiculous, so he spat, "Ridiculous!" and shook his head, saying in a cold voice.

"Forget it, just take a rest."

Seeing that she was about to leave with a stern face, Gao Yanzong panicked again and hurriedly stood up to pull her.

"Don't be like this... I said, I said..."

Gao Yanzong, who admitted defeat humbly, suddenly felt infinite desolation in his heart.

Normally, when he got mad at her, she would either pester him and coax him out of it, or he would just keep it to himself and she would just give in and let it go. But now it was different.

The girl in front of him, wearing the white military uniform of the Xiao family, was the guest of honor here, the ruler of Huaxu State who had obtained the status of King Xiang easily. She was more decisive and ruthless than before, and more moody.

Since he didn't want to talk, she really didn't ask and didn't want to listen.

If it was out of personal feelings, as long as she coaxed him with soft words, Gao Yanzong, who was soft-hearted, would tell her everything sooner or later. But now she was out of reach, and noble people were quiet. Because of her current reputation, status, and influence, Gao Yanzong had no time to please her for the State of Qi, let alone offend her.

So under her intimidation, Gao Yanzong had no choice but to give up his pride and principles and use his most private and fearful things to submit to her and please her, fearing that if he rejected her this time, he would never have the chance to get close to her again.

Gao Yanzong grabbed the corner of her clothes and pulled her back to sit on the edge of the bed. He lowered his eyebrows and whispered:

"Don't be like this... I'm just shy. I've never really rejected you before." He paused and continued, "It was really painful. I couldn't control my tears at that time. It was so painful."

She stared at the increasingly red face of the man beside her, and thought for a long time before she understood something.

Gao Yanzong suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and he bit his lower lip and shook his head.

"Other people would only feel physically uncomfortable when someone does that to them, but I feel uncomfortable both physically and mentally. I can't accept myself being out of control, and I can only... accept having physical contact with you."

As he said this, he mustered up the courage to look her in the eye.

She reluctantly let go, “Okay, from now on, as long as you don’t make me angry to the extreme, I will restrain myself and not let you feel so uncomfortable and lose control.”

Gao Yanzong's depression suddenly disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, his brown eyes slightly moist but full of deep affection.

"You said so... Well, I will never dare to make you angry in the future. Besides, when you are angry, you shout and kill other people, but you just fuck me half to death... It's already partiality."

"That's good to know. But I didn't expect you didn't like that? I thought... you accepted everything."

Hearing this, Gao Yanzong raised his eyebrows, "Do you look down on me? Do you think that I am dissolute on the outside, well-informed, and also dissolute on the inside? In fact, if I were really dissolute, I wouldn't have saved my first time for you."

After a pause, he glanced away and said, "Anyway, I can't accept that I am out of control physically and mentally. If you want to tame me until I am willing to let you do whatever you want, then don't abandon me."

Having said so much, the last sentence is the key point. Gao Yanzong still wanted to turn back.

Yuan Wuyou pursed his lips and chuckled, "Okay. I can rekindle our relationship for personal reasons, but not for the sake of Qi."

Hearing this, Gao Yanzong's eyes, which had been full of affection, became clear and calm.

"That's natural."
