Chapter 283 Let me go first
A figure stood at the door.
A dark red robe, a pale and handsome face, and reddish-brown pupils.
It's late at night!
Yuan Xiao stared at him blankly, speechless for a moment.
Chi Miao also looked at him, her eyes wary.
He could sense the demonic energy emanating from the other person; it was very strong and pure.
That's right, this is Shangwan.
Chi Miao knew about Shang Wan's feelings for Yuan Xiao before, and understood that after everything they had been through, they probably had a lot to say to each other.
He looked at Yuan Xiao, then at Shang Wan, and finally made his decision.
“You two talk first,” he said to Yuan Xiao, his voice calm. “I’m going downstairs for a walk.”
After saying that, he walked past Shang Wan, left the room, and considerately closed the door behind him.
Only Yuan Xiao and Shang Wan remained in the room.
The air suddenly became very quiet.
It was so quiet that they could hear each other breathing.
After a long while, Shang Wan finally spoke.
“I’m back,” he said, his voice soft yet carrying an indescribable allure.
Yuan Xiao's eyes instantly reddened.
Looking at the familiar face and those familiar eyes before her, tears welled up uncontrollably.
"I thought you..." Her voice choked, and she couldn't continue.
I thought you would never come back.
I thought I would never see you again.
Shang Wan smiled.
The smile was gentle, yet it carried a strange sense of aggression.
"Did you miss me?" he asked, his voice low, as he walked towards Yuan Xiao step by step.
Before Yuan Xiao could answer, Shang Wan picked her up.
The action was quick and sudden.
Yuan Xiao exclaimed in surprise and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Shang Wan, wait, what's wrong with you...?"
Shang Wan didn't answer, but simply held her and strode into the bedroom.
The bed in the bedroom is wide and soft.
Shang Wan walked to the bedside and then forcefully threw Yuan Xiao onto the bed.
The mattress was soft, and Yuan Xiao didn't get hurt from the fall, but the action startled her.
She struggled to sit up, but Shang Wan had already pressed down on her.
His body was very heavy, making it difficult for Yuan Xiao to breathe.
"Don't do this, Shang Wan, Shang Wan, can you hear me?"
Yuan Xiao felt uneasy.
She had never seen Shang Wan like this before.
In my memory, Shang Wan often teased her, but he always restrained himself. Even if he wanted it in his heart, he never forced her.
But now...
Shang Wan's hand had already slipped inside her clothes.
Yuan Xiao couldn't help but shiver when her fingers touched her skin.
"Shangwan!" she raised her voice, trying to bring him back to his senses.
But Shang Wan seemed completely deaf to it.
His eyes burned with an almost insane desire.
Yuan Xiao finally realized what was happening.
Instead of trying to reason with him, she started pushing him forcefully.
"let me go!"
She was quite strong, but Shang Wan was even stronger.
He easily subdued her resistance, holding both of her wrists with one hand and pressing them above her head, while his other hand continued to roam over her body.
The sound of clothes being torn was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.
Yuan Xiao's heart sank.
"Aren't you afraid I'll abandon you?" she gritted her teeth, trying to threaten him with her last resort.
This is Shangwan's biggest weakness.
What he feared most was being abandoned by her.
Sure enough, Shang Wan paused for a moment.
He looked down at her, a flicker of emotion in his eyes, but it was quickly overwhelmed by a frenzied desire.
He laughed.
The laughter was soft, yet it carried a chilling, sinister quality.
“Of course I’m not afraid,” he said, his voice full of mockery. “Demons have all suffered backlash before. Now that I’ve become a demon, I’m no longer afraid of being attacked. Hahaha…”
Yuan Xiao stared at him in disbelief.
Are demons unafraid of backlash?
How can this be?
Looking at Shang Wan's face, she suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
The face was still the same, the features were exactly the same, even the tiny mole at the corner of the eye was in the same place.
But the look in those eyes, that madness, that aggression, that utterly reckless desire…
This was not the Shang Wan she knew.
Absolutely not.
Shang Wan seemed to sense her suspicion.
His smile deepened.
"What, don't you recognize me?" He lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and said in a deep, suggestive voice, "I think about you every single day, I'm going crazy thinking about you..."
His breath brushed against Yuan Xiao's ear, warm yet sending a chill through her.
Yuan Xiao bit her lip, forcing herself to calm down.
"Shang Wan, let me go first," she said, trying to keep her voice calm. "Let's talk this out, okay?"
Shang Wan did not move.
He simply looked at her, his scarlet eyes flashing with a complex light.
After a long while, he slowly spoke.
“It’s not safe here,” he said, his voice suddenly turning serious. “I have to take you away.”
Yuan Xiao was taken aback: "Where to?"
“Go to a safe place,” Shang Wan said, her tone leaving no room for argument, “a place where no one can find us.”
After saying that, he let go of Yuan Xiao's hand and then carried her off the bed.
Yuan Xiao gasped and instinctively struggled.
"Let me go! Shang Wan, let me go!"
Shang Wan ignored her and carried her towards the window.
Yuan Xiao finally reached her breaking point.
She raised her hand, gathering a powerful force in her palm, and slammed it hard onto Shang Wan's back.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound.
Yuan Xiao's "immense strength" caused Shang Wan's body to sway violently, but she did not fall down.
He turned his head and looked at Yuan Xiao, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, which then turned into a smile.
"It seems I underestimated you," he said, his voice filled with admiration. "I didn't expect you to be so strong now."
Yuan Xiao jumped off his shoulder, took a few steps back, and looked at him warily.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked, her voice filled with confusion and anger. "You weren't like this before..."
Shang Wan did not answer.
He simply stood there, looking at her, his reddish-brown eyes gleaming with an eerie light.
Then, his body began to blur.
Like a wisp of smoke, a wisp of mist, it slowly dissipates, only to coalesce again.
Yuan Xiao's eyes widened.
Shang Wan's body completely disappeared.
Instead, a dark red phantom drifted towards Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao immediately retreated, raising her hand in preparation for another attack.
But she was still a step too slow.
The phantom had already entangled her body.
Like a snake, cold, slippery, it tightly coiled around her.
Yuan Xiao's arms were tightly bound to her sides by an invisible force, rendering her unable to move.
She struggled, but the more she struggled, the tighter the restraints became.
"Let me go!" she growled.
The phantom did not answer.
It just clung to her, wrapped around her, and flew towards the window.
The window was open, and a cool night breeze blew in from outside.
The phantom, carrying Yuan Xiao, was about to fly out of the window.
