Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 617 Bewitching Prey
In total darkness.

Nan Surou felt the floating feeling of losing the five senses.

In the eyelids, I felt a cluster of densely packed stars disperse with a bang.

Can't see anything.

Can't see five fingers.

This dark place brings loneliness and fear to Nan Surou, just like nothingness after death.

Did Qu Lanyi kill her while she was asleep?

No, how is this possible?
Just when she was confused, there was a ray of light in the darkness alluring her.

To know the world beyond that light.

She began to struggle towards that glimmer of light.

For wanting to know what's in the light.

Even though she was constantly pushed back to the original place by an invisible force, she kept trying to get closer to that ray of light.

But, gradually, she noticed.

The harder she tried to get closer, the deeper the pain she felt.

The interest to go to the light becomes the same thing as the pain felt all over the body.

When Nan Surou couldn't bear to touch the light.

She saw a heavy door locked with a padlock standing in the light.

The lock on the door has ten keys, which key is the real one?
You have to try one by one according to your own feeling, right?Nan Surou thought so.

The calmness, tension and pain in the mind are intertwined.

Nan Surou picked up the key and started to unlock the lock. She was not sure if it could be opened. She kept repeating such actions, but her slender fingertips trembled but she couldn't restrain it.

However, the cruel reality before her eyes is that all keys cannot open this lock.

How to do?
Subconsciously, Nan Surou felt that as long as she continued to stay here, the danger would accumulate bit by bit.

Maybe, at the next moment, some unexpected danger will come, and all her efforts will be in vain.

Calm down, Nan Surou.

If it was Eric or Qu Lanyi, they would not be so flustered.

There must be something wrong, right?
However, she was only puzzled for a moment, but the door opened by itself, and the original lock also fell off.

Nan Surou clearly saw that standing on the other side of the door was another self, a mature woman, but she looked very similar to Nan Surou.

Nan Surou stared at her with disbelief in her eyes, "You..."

The woman didn't answer her question, but said without moving: "Leave Lan Yi, you will kill him...Leave him..."

Nan Surou's eyes deeply reflected the woman's expression, whether it was anger or trembling.

After a while, the woman's skin began to fall off, and in an instant, she turned into a skeleton with a ferocious mouth.

Nan Surou only felt her eyes twitch, she blinked suddenly, and in just one blink, the surrounding scene changed instantly.

What caught my eye was the dark red.

Nan Surou suddenly sat up and looked around.

She found herself lying on a soft couch, and she was the only one in the huge palace.

Could it be that everything just now was a dream?

nightmare...

"If it was just a dream, that feeling would be too real." Nan Surou murmured.

By the way, the woman in the dream mentioned Qu Lanyi, Qu Lanyi?
Nan Surou looked around again, but she didn't see Qu Lanyi's figure. She suddenly lifted off the brocade quilt covering her body, and hurriedly picked up the fox fur from the side and put it on her body.

Nan Surou thought to herself, Qu Lanyi said that he would stay with her, and he should be nearby before dawn.

Pushing open the palace door, what Nan Surou saw was the faint light of dawn.

Qu Lanyi's lonely back was leaning against the pillar. He looked ahead, not knowing what he was looking at.

Nan Surou called out in a low voice: "Qu Lanyi..."

Qu Lanyi turned his face sideways and squinted at her.

Something flashed through Nan Surou's mind, and she couldn't help striding forward, throwing Qu Lanyi into her arms, which made Qu Lanyi, who was originally careless, startled.

Nan Surou plunged her face into Qu Lanyi's arms, and in his astonishment, she muttered, "Qu Lanyi, do you believe me?"

Qu Lanyi instinctively wanted to push her away, but she tightened her hand tightly. Qu Lanyi felt her persistence, so she stopped struggling and let her hold her.

Nan Surou slowly raised her face, stared into Qu Lanyi's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Maybe I will be confused by others and put you in danger, but I want to stay by your side..."

These words made Qu Lanyi's heart throbbing, who had been in a state of confusion and chaos. He couldn't help hugging Nan Surou back, and said softly, "Can you understand my feelings now? I have been waiting for you for many years..."

many years?
Hearing this sentence, Nan Surou already understood that she was just Yu Ru's substitute, at least with Qu Lanyi, Qu Lanyi still couldn't forget Yu Ru.

It's better to be a substitute than to have no friendship at all.

Based on the nightmare just now, in which a dead person dared to provoke her and warn her in the dream, Nan Surou decided to drag Qu Lanyi out of the shadow of the already dead woman.

Nan Surou's heart turned around, but she didn't show anything on her face. She looked up at Qu Lanyi affectionately with a pair of cat eyes, and whispered in a bewitching voice, "Can I...stay by your side?"

"Of course I hope you will stay by my side willingly." Qu Lanyi said with downcast eyes.

A sweet smell swept over, such a strong sensory stimulation, Nan Surou's body did not move at all.

Qu Lanyi's figure is like a wonderful phantom, constantly approaching.

Such contact made Nan Surou feel a bone-chilling chill in her heart for no reason.

Knowing that she was acting, Nan Surou was inexplicably carrying an emotion of longing that she couldn't explain clearly.

Nan Surou seemed to know what was going to happen next, she just closed her eyes.

If Qu Lanyi really kissed her, what would she do instead?

Nan Surou felt her shoulders being hugged tightly.

Qu Lanyi's icy breath was mixed with sweet fragrance.

However, when Qu Lanyi got close to Nan Surou, sniffing her scent, a violent emotion hidden in his body instantly attacked his consciousness.

Just when his lips were about to touch Nan Surou's neck, Qu Lanyi suddenly pushed off Nan Surou's arm, and stepped back a few steps away from Nan Surou.

"Wait a minute—" Qu Lanyi stretched out his right hand to cover his forehead.

Nan Surou, who was pushed away, was shocked, but she murmured in her heart: Sure enough...

"Now, I'm afraid I can't control my crazy behavior, I can't control my bloodthirsty self, you exude a sweet smell, such a strong sensory stimulation, I can't control my emotions." Qu Lanyi's black figure Standing flutteringly under the bright moonlight, the night wind blows his robe, making him look like a dream.

Qu Lanyi didn't know what was wrong with him. He brought Nan Surou to Yueying City and married her by force, wasn't he just to kill and eat her after satisfying all his regrets?
But now, Nan Surou is right in front of him, so close, he...he can't do anything.

He didn't want to kill Nan Surou.

He didn't want her to die, he didn't want to lose her forever.

why?
Why did things turn out this way?
