Chapter 6

Yan Shi Ning sat on the bed and gripped her leg.

Pei Jin was smiling and licking his lips.

'Big brother, are you certain you know what you're doing?' Yan Shi Ning asked.

'Be patient,' Pei Jin said and continuously moved his hands.

Yan Shi Ning cried silent tears of pleasure and pain. Who could tell her when mouthy boy began learning to massage feet? Why did her feet need to be sacrificed?

Pei Jin finally let go of her tortured feet and she rolled over on the bed. She'd rather die than let him massage her feet again. His massaging skills were too deadly.

Pei Jin laughed. He stopped massaging Yan Shi Ning's feet after he heard the wedding guests were far away from the chamber.

'Wife, did you roll on the bed excitedly because you're feeling impatient?' Pei Jin teased. 'Wait for a little while, your husband will satisfy you.'

Pei Jin smiled and he left the bed.

Yan Shi Ning glared at the scoundrel's back and cursed him in her stomach.

Pei Jin hurriedly washed his face and brushed his hair. Then he returned to the bed and saw Yan Shi Ning hugged the blanket in the corner of the bed.

'Wife, are you honestly going to sleep like this?' Pei Jin asked.

Pei Jin wore his undergarments to bed and bared his chest. He grinned wide enough for his white teeth to be visible. It made Yan Shi Ning felt like words were not enough to reflect his handsomeness. But she wore her wedding dress and looked sternly at him.

Pei Jin laid on the bed and faced the tensed Yan Shi Ning. 'Wife, aren't you known for being gentle and docile? Then you must know what it means to be a wife. Come here, your husband wants you to serve him.'

Yan Shi Ning's eyes shone daggers, she knew that mouthy boy wasn't going to let the night pass without torturing her to death.

Pei Jin saw Yan Shi Ning's angry eyes and his smile became brighter. He pulled her to his chest. 'Come here. Let's not waste a spring night.'

Pei Jin hugged Yan Shi Ning's waist tightly and he could hear her deep breaths.

Yan Shi Ning's body stiffened. A while later she regained her composure and pushed Pei Jin's chest. But her hands felt scorched the moment she touched his bare chest and she quickly retrieved her hands.

Pei Jin caught Yan Shi Ning's wrists. 'If you want to touch then touch. A thousand times, you don't need to be courteous.'

Yan Shi Ning's teeth itched at the sight of Pei Jin's lecherous smile, she lowered her head and wanted to bite his hand.

Pei Jin was prepared for Yan Shi Ning's reaction. He pinned her wrists above her head, rolled over and pressed his body on top of hers. 'Do you want to bite me again?'

Yan Shi Ning couldn't move her hands, her legs were trapped and felt a heaviness on her stomach. In her weakened position under Pei Jin, her intuition warned her she was going to be eaten whole.

'Why is it that I feel you would rather die than be submissive?' Pei Jin asked. 'What is it, don't you want to do it together with me… if you truly don't want to, you can tell me and I won't force you. You can believe me, I'll respect your decision.'

Yan Shi Ning struggled even more after she heard mouthy boy's fake gentlemanly words. What respect? His hands were quickly taking off her dress. What believe in him? She didn't get to blink before his face slid from her neck down to her waist.

Yan Shi Ning's struggles didn't free her so she used the gentle approach. 'Then ninth prince, what are my choices?'

Pei Jin nodded. 'You can choose the positions.'

Yan Shi Ning smiled and inwardly cursed the scoundrel.

Pei Jin had taken off Yan Shi Ning's outer robe and he tossed it to the side. She only had thin white undergarments to shield her body. He shook his head. Last night she didn't wear undergarments but wore them on their wedding day. He became suspicious why the little lion stopped struggling under his body.

Pei Jin didn't feel like an amused cat when the mouse didn't struggle. 'Why are you suddenly submissive?'

Yan Shi Ning smiled. 'I suddenly thought it doesn't matter who I marry, everyone will have a first time. Whether dying early or dying later, is still dying. It's better to die earlier to reincarnate earlier. Ninth prince, you can slowly enjoy using my body.'

Yan Shi Ning laid limply on the bed and she let the bandit pluck what he wanted. She realised he only tortured her for amusement. She wasn't going to satisfy his amusement by continuing to struggle. It was better for her to cooperate with him since she couldn't escape a fate between a husband and a wife.

Pei Jin saw Yan Shi Ning's defiant look that showed she didn't care what he did to her. He didn't feel defeated and decided to use another approach to counteract her acting like a dead corpse. He smiled and his hands slowly moved.

Initially Yan Shi Ning didn't care what Pei Jin said or did. She pretended she was dead and didn't move. But after his hand slid under her undergarments, where his hand touched her skin, goose bumps would form against her will.

Pei Jin eyes swept over Yan Shi Ning's eyelashes, her pursed lips and his hand slid lower. 'Wife, if you're prepared to sacrifice yourself then you don't need to be nervous. Your husband will be gentle.'

Yan Shi Ning suppressed her anger. Since she didn't stop Pei Jin's hand, his hand movements became bolder. His hand stroked from her stomach to her waist and made her body trembled. She felt his hand detoured to her back and gently stroked from the top to the bottom of her back, it gave her a tingling sensation. Her body betrayed her will and curved upward closer to his body. But she continued to bite her lips and suppressed the sounds in her throat.

Yan Shi Ning refused to struggle and Pei Jin frowned. 'Wife, since you're not reacting to your husband's efforts, it appears your husband needs to exert more energy.'

Pei Jin untied the bow of Yan Shi Ning's undergarments. Her bare chest turned a little cold and she couldn't stop her head from turning to watch her undergarments being tossed away. Immediately it felt like fire was burning her face. Her undergarments were removed, there was nothing shielding her body from his hand.

Yan Shi Ning panicked a little, raised her head and looked at Pei Jin's smile that didn't waver.

'It's not cold tonight,' Pei Jin said. 'You don't need to wear clothes. It's better to take it off to make you feel comfortable.'

Yan Shi Ning felt Pei Jin's hand slid lower. Her undergarments were gone, where else could his hand move to? She gripped the flower petals on the bed. Unexpectedly his hand changed direction from her lower back to her waist. He held her waist and pulled her to his chest. There was no gap between their bodies. She felt something between his legs blossomed against her stomach and her heart almost escaped her body. But she didn't get a chance to react, he lowered his head and pressed his lips on her lips.

In that moment Yan Shi Ning felt like her world was going to collapse. Everything darkened and her soul floated away from her body. The residue image left in her head was Pei Jin's fiery eyes that didn't hide his desire.

Yan Shi Ning felt Pei Jin's lips gently nibbled her lips. A little while later his lips suckled her lips and his tongue invaded her mouth. His tongue felt soft against her tongue and soon she forgot to breathe. He took a deep breath and his hands tightened on her waist as though he wanted their bones to join. She anticipated the most beautiful part of the night… but suddenly he let go of her.

'Wife, are you satisfied enough to lose your soul?' Pei Jin asked and licked his lips.

Yan Shi Ning realised she forgot to breathe and quickly took deep breaths. She looked at Pei Jin's clear eyes, the fiery desire had ebbed. She didn't understand what happened. Did the fiery desire in his eyes exist before? But she was certain she saw it clearly. She took another deep breath, she was fooled by mouthy boy!

'Did you think I was going to eat you?' Pei Jin asked and pulled Yan Shi Ning closer to him.

The chaos in Yan Shi Ning's heart continued to stir. She didn't want to admit that she did believe Pei Jin was going to eat her.

'Before I was only teasing you by giving you a scare,' Pei Jin said. 'Your husband is a gentleman, I've never forced anyone before. Besides, I promised you that I wouldn't force you. You can relax, if you're not willing then I won't force myself on you.'

Yan Shi Ning didn't know whether Pei Jin was sincere or fooling her.

Yan Shi Ning didn't want to look at Pei Jin's face anymore. She looked down carelessly and saw something between his legs was still blossoming. She quickly looked away. If he was only teasing her then it was suspicious for his body to react. She didn't understand why his body reacted but he pushed her away. Was he truly controlling his desire? She looked suspiciously at his face that didn't reveal anything but his fake gentle smile. Her head spun, she didn't know which of the scoundrel's words were honest and which words were lies.

Yan Shi Ning hugged the blanket and contemplated for half a day. She decided to believe Pei Jin was sincere he wouldn't force her if she wasn't willing. Although he owned a scoundrel's mouth and a bandit's hands, she knew he wasn't someone who would force himself on another person. For the first time her impression of him improved a little.

Pei Jin saw Yan Shi Ning's body relaxed and knew she believed him. His heart laughed loudly. Of course he wanted to eat her. He restrained himself because it was the wrong day to eat her. He needed to wait until her body recovered from the poison. When it was the right day to eat her, he would eat her thoroughly.

Pei Jin sighed. The heavens knew initially he intended to tease Yan Shi Ning for his amusement. Unexpectedly he was teasing fire and almost burned himself. If he didn't possess extraordinary self-control then he would have eaten her. Last night in her chamber he thought he would be able to enjoy a beautiful wedding night. But when he returned to his manor, he was informed he had to endure an uncomfortable long wedding night. He glanced down at his little brother and his frustrations intensified.
