3. The □□ Life of Having Only to Open One’s Mouth to be Fed and Only Holding Out One’s Hands to be Dressed.

When Chu Xing returned to Xie He’s Qin Palace, his subordinates had already purged the entire Imperial Palace and had taken strict control over it. Not even a bird could fly in. No one outside would be able to find out about the circ.u.mstances within.

From when he had begun “playing” with Xie He, the other had stopped struggling. Who knew if it was because he had no energy or because he had given up, but at this moment, he was lying on the bed with wide eyes, expression blank. Inside of his eyes was a deathly stillness. Blood still streamed out from the corner of his lips. He looked unbearably miserable.

Chu Xing only felt delighted. When he thought about what had happened just then…his gaze darkened.

【Ding, the target, Chu Xing’s Favourability Value +10, Blackening Value -10. The current Favourability Value is 10. The current Blackening Value is 90.】

Chu Xing fixed his gaze on Xie He, watching him for a while. Then, he left and called out to a trusted aide in pa.s.sing, instructing, “Go out and find a doctor. Cover his eyes and then bring him in.”

When the door closed, Xie He’s expression changed. The deathly stillness was swept out of his eyes. He flipped his body over and changed his position before laying back down. Ai, graceful and good-looking positions actually weren’t comfortable at all, ah.

【444：Host dada, are you OK…? /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~】He looked too tragic. Just now, it had been so difficult to prevent himself from crying!

【Xie He：I’m feeling great. Smile.JPG】

【444：Really? I could only block out 30% of the pain, ah….QAQ】

【Xie He：It was just right. It hurt a little but also felt good and exciting. :)】

【444：……】

【Xie He：Baby, don’t worry. If I don’t call out wretchedly, how can I decrease his Blackening Value? The more miserable I scream, the more I act like I’m in so much pain that I’d rather be dead, the more satisfied and happy he will feel while enacting revenge by tormenting me. In that case, the Blackening Value will naturally decrease. This is just the beginning. He has no idea just how much misery I can still take. Smile.JPG】

【444：You’re still bleeding….】

【Xie He：It’s just a small wound. It just looks terrifying, that’s all. I only bit and created a small hole. It will heal in a few days. Relax, other places can get injured, but I will not allow my mouth to be injured. I don’t want to miss an opportunity to enjoy the legendary Imperial meals of the ancient times. 】

【444：……】

【Xie He：Say, I carefully checked out this room just now. This body is worthy of being called an extravagant Incapable Ruler, ah. The things he uses are made of either gold or jade. Even silver is rarely seen. Although there’s no electricity, these goods are superior in terms of their antique appeal and invaluable, elaborate craftsmans.h.i.+p. Every item is a work of ancient art reaching the peak of perfection. They all have a special distinctive style, ah….】

【444：How many have you taken a liking to?】

&#k3010;Xie He&#kUU1J;Not many, not many.&#k3011;

444&#kUU1J;He who felt distressed over his Host was simply an idiot. Indifferent.JPG Yi, wait a second, didn’t he place this kind of flag several times already???

&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;

Xie He leisurely lied in bed to rest for a while.

When footsteps sounded from outside once more, he immediately flipped over and tumbled onto the floor. He began to slowly crawl towards the exit, leaving a ghastly blood trail. He had just crawled to the door when he saw it open. A pair of black pupils appeared before him.

Xie He raised his head and faced Chu Xing’s grave and stern face. His face paled, completely drained of blood!

Chu Xing looked down on Xie He and narrowed his eyes dangerously. If it wasn’t a suicide attempt, he was trying to escape. It seemed that this Incapable Ruler wasn’t well-behaved in the slightest. Chu Xing bent down and reached out, directly grabbing hold of Xie He’s frail arm. He roughly dragged him back.

Despair appeared in Xie He’s eyes. He struggled for a moment before shutting his eyes, disappointed.

Chu Xing had a cold expression on. He pinched Xie He’s mouth open and then looked at the dumbfounded doctor, “What are you standing there foolishly for? Come examine him.”

The doctor trembled. He had been at home when he was suddenly kidnapped. This was truly an unexpected calamity! Only, seeing Chu Xing’s stern face, he knew the other was one who killed people like flies, ah! He did not dare to resist. He was so frightened that he almost knelt.

The doctor carefully looked over Xie He’s mouth. After a long time, he sighed in relief, “It’s good that the injury is not serious. Only, you must take care. You can’t….” Before he finished speaking, Chu Xing already understood.

“Leave the medicine here. You can leave,” Chu Xing said.

The doctor heaved a great sigh of relief, “Thank you, Hero, thank you, Hero!” He had really taken Chu Xing as a bandit!

Chu Xing had his trusted aide blindfold the doctor again before taking him out. He then sneered at Xie He. After forcibly applying medicine on him, he made him wear the gag once more. He then used an icy voice to say, “Your Majesty, you’re really too naughty.”

Xie He shut his eyes firmly, pretending not to hear him.

Chu Xing smiled grimly. He reached out and mercilessly tore at the other’s wound.

Xie He could not speak, because he had the gag in his mouth, but his face twisted in pain. He could only let out “ah ah” sounds. The gaze he used to look at Chu Xing with was full of deeply-rooted hate as if saying, “You better kill me, or else I will make sure you don’t have a good death!”

Chu Xing patted his face and gave him a strange smile, “Is Your Majesty angry? This is just the beginning, ne…” He lowered his head, taking in the despair, anger, and humiliation in Xie He’s eyes, and spoke slowly, “I’ll let Your Majesty know that sometimes, even death can be wishful thinking.”

…………………………………………………………

Xie He didn’t expect that Chu Xing’s stamina would be so good. He had pressed him down and done him a few times. In the end, he was done until he fainted.

When he woke up, his body was already cleaned. He still had the gag in his mouth. Atop of his body was now a simple gown, and medicine had been applied to both his wrists. They were also covered in thick gauze. Over the gauze, he had on a pair of fine, gold manacles about three fingers wide, inlaid with gems. There was a small loop on each of the manacles. A movable chain was threaded through the hoops. The chain was pulled back, causing both his hands to be tightly pulled behind him. The chains were wound around the pillar of the bed and tied firmly. This length only allowed him to move about in bed.

Xie He’s stomach growled. He wasn’t very happy. Being hangry was only second to being rudely awoken in bed in terms of what made people the most unhappy.

【Xie He：Too inhumane. Doesn’t he want me to live? How can he not give me something to eat? Does he want me to starve to death? :)】

【444：Host dada, I think that since he knows that you want to die, he probably thinks that you will go on a hunger strike. 】

【Xie He：If I go on a hunger strike, he can still force-feed me. Does he not even understand this? I’m giving him a poor evaluation!】He wanted to have a life in which he would only have to open his mouth to be fed and hold out his hands to be dressed. He didn’t want to be starved. Not even having a big lively thing would be enough to compensate for this! He wanted to have his fill in terms of both food and s.e.x life!

【444：……】Today’s hungry Host dada seemed a bit irritable…._(:зゝ∠)_

【Xie He：Hehe.】

When Chu Xing returned to the Imperial Palace, it was already very late. As soon as he entered, he saw the Incapable Ruler lying in bed on his side. His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were tightly shut. He looked like he was dying. This version of the Incapable Ruler seemed a lot less cruel and vicious than usual. He seemed weak and pitiful.

When Chu Xing went out earlier, he had commanded that no one was allowed to enter without permission. As a result, he hadn’t expected that he would return so late and would cause the Incapable Ruler to starve and remain injured for the whole day. Right now, he must not be doing so well.

Chu Xing immediately turned and left. When he came back, he was carrying a bowl in his hand. Inside was porridge that had been stewed with very small pieces of ground meat and vegetables. It was easy to digest and eat.

He walked over to the bed and pulled Xie He into his arms. He took off the other’s gag. This action caused Xie He to scrunch up his eyebrows in pain. Xie He then opened his eyes slowly. When he saw that it was Chu Xing, hatred immediately flashed in his eyes.

Chu Xing’s reaction speed was fast. He quickly pinched Xie He’s chin and did not let him bite himself. He then poured the porridge into his mouth.

However, Xie He struggled desperately. He wasn’t cooperative in the least. He hadn’t even eaten two bites of the porridge—most of it had been spilled, staining his lapel and the bed. From beginning to end, he glared at Chu Xing frigidly, a mocking and cold smile in his eyes.

Chu Xing’s eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly. Soon after, he thought of something and chuckled, “Your Majesty really likes to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.”

Chu Xing very quickly carried a new bowl over.

He reached out and wiped Xie He’s mouth clean. He fixed his eyes on those thin, dark, red lips. He suddenly drank a mouthful of porridge himself and then lowered his head to kiss Xie He! At such a close distance, he could see shock, humiliation, and indignation in Xie He’s eyes. Slowly, he pa.s.sed the food over.

This Incapable Ruler’s lips were soft beyond imagination and seemed to carry a sort of chilly, fresh sweetness. It was so delicious that it made people want to directly eat them up…Chu Xing’s eyes darkened, and he couldn’t help but deepen the kiss, plundering the other’s mouth.

Xie He was forced to raise his head and open his mouth by Chu Xing. He was kissed until he was breathless. He involuntarily swallowed the food down, eyes full of shame and fury.

Chu Xing, however, was addicted to this taste. Every time he fed him a mouthful, he would thoroughly kiss the other. It felt like he had eaten some unforgettable delicacy that left a rich aftertaste….Time pa.s.sed by in this fas.h.i.+on. Xie He finally could no longer persist in struggling. He looked humiliated, and it was difficult for him to force these words out, “Zhen can…eat by himself….”

But, how could Chu Xing let him have his wish fulfilled? Since he could humiliate this Incapable Ruler and enjoy himself, how could he let go of this chance? He smiled coldly, “It’s too late.”

A trifling bowl of porridge took Chu Xing nearly half a s.h.i.+chen to feed. In the end, he only stopped when the Incapable Ruler’s lips had been kissed swollen and had turned an alluring red. Chu Xing looked down at the man beneath him.

The taste of the honourable Emperor indeed made him enjoy himself to the point of forgetting himself.

【Ding, the target, Chu Xing’s Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 20. The current Blackening Value is 90.】

Xie’s chest heaved up and down. His phoenix eyes glared ruthlessly at Chu Xing. His messy, long, black hair was scattered on the bed, and his snow-white skin was more beautiful than anything else imaginable.

When he thought about how the world’s most respected person was currently being played with and humiliated by him like a lowly male pet, Chu Xing felt an unprecedented joy stemming from a successful conquest. From his lips appeared a smile that was not a smile.

He then pressed Xie He down to apply medicine on him, ruthlessly dishonouring him once more.

…………………………………………………………………………

Chu Xing was a person with incredible self-restraint. He did not do Xie He these last few days. However, he did find other things to amuse himself with. For example, feeding Xie He. Since the first time he got a taste, he would unfailingly and punctually come to personally feed Xie He. In the beginning, Xie He would fight back intensely. But in the end, he resigned himself to his fate. His resistance was a joke to Chu Xing.

Chu Xing’s second pleasure was in applying medicine on Xie He. Every time he would play with Xie He until he was so ashamed and indignant that he would want to die.

Several days pa.s.sed like this. Chu Xing’s Blackening Value decreased by 10 again.

Xie He’s wounds had all healed. He began to ponder over how to change his circ.u.mstances. After all, he really wanted to eat the Imperial Court’s meals. He was a bit fed up with eating porridge every day. Furthermore, always wearing a gag wasn’t very comfortable. Moreover, he missed General Chu’s thing.

Very quickly, the opportunity Xie He was waiting for had come.

Jing Zhao was an Incapable Ruler. Although he would usually miss morning court several days in a row, his absence had never extended for more than five days. Now, it had already been eight days. General Chu had returned to the capital, and following his return, the Emperor did not show himself. When linked to the recent tragedy of Duke Yingguo’s residence, many guesses popped up. An unprecedented storm arose within the Capital…if Xie He did not show himself, this phony peace would not be able to persist.

At this time, Chu Xing had two choices. Either he could directly kill him and revolt, or he could have him take a peaceful stroll, thereby temporarily appeasing the Court, giving himself more time.

On the ninth day, Chen Cong returned to the palace.

His mother had fallen gravely ill and was unable to recover because of the tragedy of her youngest son. After seeing Chen Cong, she pa.s.sed away. Chen Cong was full of grief as he buried his mother. After handling his family matters, he also helped Chu Xing take care of things outside. Only today did he finally have time to come back to the palace.

He had come to discuss Xie He with Chu Xing. Many people were taking an indirect approach with him, inquiring about whether the Emperor had already died. He would not be able to delay things any longer.

Chen Cong directly headed into Chu Xing’s study. They stayed there for a bit longer than one s.h.i.+chen before heading into the Emperor’s Qin Palace. When Chen Cong entered and saw Xie He’s appearance, he was shocked.

That ostentatious, ruthless, tyrannical, and insufferably arrogant, cursed Emperor currently had his arms bound behind him by manacles. His face was pale, his body thin. He cut an utterly sorry figure, lying there sideways on the bed….His black phoenix eyes were deathly still. He saw them come in and instantly shot them an incomparably resentful gaze. A m.u.f.fled, low growl came from his throat. He looked like a trapped beast on its deathbed struggling.

Chen Cong was only startled for a moment. He then burst into a hearty laugh. The depression in his heart instantly halved, and he only felt very carefree!

He walked over to Xie He and sneered, “Your Majesty, how does it taste to be unable to live or die, ah?”

Eve: Hangry Xie He is a mood.
