The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife Chapter 278-279

Chapter 278 – Nangong Yu Was Afraid?

Currently, Dandan was feeling an immense amount of energy spreading throughout his body, making his previously empty stomach become warm and feel exceptionally comfortable.

This feeling, compared to drinking spirit spring water and eating spiritual plants and fruits from the space was much better.

Promptly obeying Hexi, he closed eyes and began to absorb the energy. At the same time, the little Golden Dragon’s breathing started to regulate while he was still unconscious.

Watching Dandan’s dried up body slowly become rounded again, Hexi couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. So sitting cross-legged at the edge of the spring, she began to cultivate.

Although she had just gotten the Maha Inheritance she was extremely interested in it. She believed that as long as she completely mastered the cultivation technique of the Maha Inheritance, beating down Feng Lian Ying wouldn’t even be an issue anymore.

Time flowed and in the blink of an eye, one night had already passed.

In the cave, Nangong Yu opened his eyes to examine his condition and was satisfied when he found that the injury to his meridians had nearly completed healing. His dried up dantian had also been filled with spiritual power, while his strength was restored to at least seventy percent.

Xi’er’s Ninth Secluded Spirit Spring water was indeed the best healing medicine for martial artists; especially for superficial wounds and spiritual power depletion. It was simply a hundred times more powerful than ordinary medicinal pills.

Nangong Yu stood up and went to walk outside the cave, but just as he arrived at the entrance, his heart started palpitating.

His figure suddenly rushed out but there was only an empty area before his eyes. Apart from the occasional rustling of the Purple Abyss Vine’s leaves, Hexi was nowhere to be seen.

“XI’ER–?!” Nangong Yu subconsciously shouted out loud, not even realising that his voice was somewhat trembling due to fear.

Why wasn’t Xi’er here?! Did she get angry and disappointed so she left, completely cutting off all ties with him?! Or did she encounter danger?!

With these thought swirling around in his mind Nangong Yu felt like his throat was being tightly clutched, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

But soon, he heard a strange whistling sound and following that, Hexi gracefully floated down from above to firmly land in front of him.

When Hexi had woken up in the morning and noticed that Nangong Yu was still meditating, she had gone to the top of the cliff alone to examine it first.

She had even left the Purple Abyss Vine guarding the entrance so that when Nangong Yu awoke he would know that she hadn’t just left. However, when she suddenly heard Nangong Yu shouting, she had hurriedly come back down.

Hexi watched as Nangong Yu stared at her and just as she was about to speak, Nangong Yu suddenly strode forward and pulled her into his arms.

Nangong Yu’s strength was tremendous and as he pressed her body against his, it nearly crushed her bones.

It hurts! Hexi frowned and wanted to push him away, but she found that Nangong Yu was actually trembling.

His body holding her was cold, unlike the scorching temperature it normally was. So even though he tried to conceal it, Hexi could still feel that his body was continuously trembling while he hugged her.

Nangong Yu was afraid? What was he afraid of?

Hexi was puzzled, but her body betrayed her reasoning and reaching out her hand, she gently stroked his back as if she was comforting a child who’d been awakened by a nightmare. Her voice was gentle as she asked, “What happened?”

Nangong Yu tightened his hold on her and buried his face in her hair, refusing to speak for a long while.

Just as Hexi was about to ask again, Nangong Yu abruptly released her and with a gloomy voice asked, “Where did you go? Why is there such a potent smell of blood coming from your body?”

His voice was full of anxiety and anger, but it was also mixed with distress and worry.

Nangong Yu abruptly grabbed Hexi’s hand and began to search for where she was injured.

Chapter 279 – Tie You To My Side

Hexi pushed him away and with a blush covering her face she angrily said, “Where do you think you’re touching?! Pervert! I’m fine, I wanted to take a look what’s on the top of the cliff and in passing I dealt with a few dark devil wolves.”

A dark devil wolf was a third rank demonic beast. Although its cultivation base wasn’t very high, they usually lived in packs which meant that if you encountered one, it was the same as meeting a dozen of them.

Even knowing that Hexi’s current cultivation base was high enough to handle them, Nangong Yu still had some lingering fears.

“Why didn’t you call me?”

Hexi stared at him with puzzlement. Just a moment ago fear had been plastered across his face, but now it had clearly transformed into anger…was he bipolar?

“They’re nothing but third rank demonic beasts, I can easily deal with them.”

After saying that, she turned towards the cave to pack up but after barely walking two steps, Nangong Yu pulled her back.

Hexi wanted to struggle free but found herself unable to now that Nangong Yu’s strength had been restored. There was no way she could fight him.

Soon, Nangong Yu’s hand captured both of her wrists behind her back, while the other hand held her slender waist and firmly pressed her against his chest. “Next time, no matter what happens, don’t ever leave me. Do you hear me?”

Hexi angrily struggled and tried to break from his hold, but instead, she ended up being pressed tighter against him, resulting in almost no space left between the two of them.

“Nangong Yu, you might as well find a rope to tie me up with at this rate!”

Hexi had only said that because she was furious, but when Nangong Yu heard it his eyes instantly lit up. “Good idea.”

Following that, a length of finger-thick golden silk appeared in his hand and before Hexi had time to realise what was going on, he moved to tie her hands behind her back.

This was a high-level spiritual weapon called Golden Silk. Flying Swords were unable to cut it, while water and heat weren’t capable of damaging it. If she was tied by that, would she still be able to escape?

Hexi struggled with all her might. “Nangong Yu, are you kidding me?!”

“Do you think I’m joking?” Nangong Yu leaned closer to her ear and whispered in a hoarse voice, “Who told you to be so disobedient, always thinking of running away from me. Instead of always worrying about your safety, it’s better to tie you to my side.”

Hexi felt the icy cold spiritual power of the Golden Silk wrap around her wrists and became extremely anxious. Before, even though she had used all of her spiritual power, she still hadn’t been able to break free from Nangong Yu’s hands.

“Xi’er, I can untie you, but only if you’ll promise me that you stay by my side at all times.”

How could Hexi currently dare to argue with this crazy man? A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him so she hastily nodded and agreed. “Alright, I’m afraid of you so I’ll promise you, will that do? Now quickly release me!”

With that, Nangong Yu was satisfied and swiftly released her hands. Immediately jumping back a step, alertness and caution were on her face as she glared at him.

These kinds of unyielding yet delicate eyes resembled the luminous eyes of a little leopard. Seeing them, Nangong Yu felt his mind drift away and suddenly reached out his hands to pull her towards him.

Hexi abruptly felt herself moving backwards uncontrollably and when she returned to her senses, she found herself once again in Nangong Yu’s embrace.

Nangong Yu lowered his head and passionately kissed her bright red lips. After a moment, once he released her lips, his voice was lower and softer; like a gentle flow of water. “Xi’er, I’ve wanted to do that since a long time ago.”

Hexi ferociously wiped her lips that were extremely painful from being kissed and angrily glared at him. Unfortunately, she didn’t want to provoke this crazy man again so she turned around to enter the cave.

After she finished tidying up her stuff, the two quickly flew to the peak of the cliff. Yesterday, it had been Hexi carrying Nangong Yu, but this time, regardless of Hexi’s protests, Nangong Yu had embraced her waist and carried her to the peak in only a moment.
