Title: After the Villainess Awakens
Translator: Fuyu
Chapter 22 - If you want to repay him with your body, you’ll have to line up first (1)
Leng Mushi discovered that she had lost control of her body. Was Xiao Mian too stupefied by her teeth on his neck? He didn't move either.
One of the legs of the two-legged stool was still slightly tilted off the ground, and they were standing at the edge of the stool. They maintained a precarious balance.
Leng Mushi couldn't move her body after the spiritual energy had suddenly entered her body. She couldn't even close her mouth, but she could at least make an "Ahh…" sound from her throat.
She urged Xiao Mian to move, but Xiao Mian seemed as if he had been immobilized by a body-freezing charm. It was one thing for him to not move for a long time, but Leng Mushi saw him flushing from his neck to his ears.
She thought the flush from anger. He probably lost his mind from fury.
Leng Mushi was already prepared to be flung off by Xiao Mian once he could think again. She couldn't turn her head to look, but she remembered seeing a railing behind her and a small flower pond under that railing.
Autumn came and flowers withered, leaving only their stems and a few leaves that were about to fall off. The stems at this time of the year were very hard and were about as hard as branches. If she fell into the pond, those stems wouldn't be able to pierce through her body and kill her, but it would still hurt.
God was so cruel to her. Leng Mushi couldn't close her eyes. She was already crying from dry eyes.
However, what she expected didn't happen. Xiao Mian didn't fling her off. After a long time, he finally quietly spoke by her ear. "Spiritual energy entered your body. You won't be able to move for a while. I have to tie up the bag first so that the spiritual energy I gathered doesn't get lost, then I'll get down from the stool so that the stool doesn't tip over."
Leng Mushi "Ahh" to urge him to hurry up. Not only were tears slipping out of her eyes, drool was about to slip out too.
Xiao Mian said, "Sorry."
And then, he pressed Leng Mushi's head into the spot between his shoulder and neck, tilted his head to keep her head there, and used his freed up hand to tie the bag.
Leng Mushi's open mouth was pressed to the side of Xiao Mian's neck. The saliva that she already struggled to swallow flowed out of the corner of her mouth.
Xiao Mian's head was pressed on her nape. In this intimate position, Leng Mushi felt herself drooling.
Xiao Mian shifted his body. Leng Mushi briefly raised her head and saw her sticky saliva dripping down from his neck and into his spotless and neat collar.
Even though Leng Mushi wasn't thin-skinned, she couldn't stop herself from blushing. She was like a no-good, lustful, greedy ghost drooling over a man.
The law and Fenlian added fuel to the fire.
Fenlian: this is the first time I've seen a woman drooling over a man.
The law: you've definitely left a lasting impression on him.
Leng Mushi's eyes were brimming with tears. I don't want to leave this sort of lasting impression. This is too shameful!
At this time, Xiao Mian finally tied up the bag. Hugging Leng Mushi, he jumped down from the stool.
With a clatter, the stool stabilized itself. Leng Mushi still couldn't move and was leaning on Xiao Mian's body. Fortunately, she could blink now and didn't have to keep crying with red eyes.
Xiao Mian finally grabbed her by the shoulder and pushed her away.
However, this separation process was so embarrassing that Leng Mushi would rather just die on the spot while leaning on Xiao Mian. As Xiao Mian pushed her straight, her saliva slowly stretched into a long strand.
Leng Mushi: …
Fenlian: oh, so lustful.
The law extremely calmly responded "mhm" with no clear meaning.
The worst possibility happened. Xiao Mian lowered his head to look. Leng Mushi burned like an ember.
She looked at Xiao Mian's expression. She was ready for him to fly into a rage out of humiliation and take action against her.
However, Xiao Mian was just slightly stunned for a moment before taking out a pure white handkerchief from his sleeve.
Leng Mushi was starting to regain control of her body. She rapidly blinked and tried her best to close her mouth, but her mouth secreted even more saliva.
Mom, please save me!
Leng Mushi wanted to cry. Her tongue was stiff, and she couldn't speak.
She was leaning on a pillar under the covered corridor like a wooden figure, and Xiao Mian was less than arm's length away. He held the handkerchief with his head slightly tilted. He pulled his slightly damp collar away from his neck and wiped his neck.
He wiped very slowly; he slowly pushed the pure white handkerchief deeper into his collar, and then he slowly pulled it out, repeatedly.
While he was wiping, he looked at Leng Mushi with his pitch-black eyes. There was some sort of suppressed emotion in his eyes, but Leng Mushi couldn't tell what it was. She automatically concluded that Xiao Mian was thinking about what to say to his shizun after killing her.
Embarrassed, she didn't dare to meet Xiao Mian's eyes. What she felt was mostly shame. Moreover, it felt terrifying losing control of her body.
After Xiao Mian finished wiping his neck, he used his beautiful hands with distinct joints that were perfectly proportioned to fold the handkerchief. Then, he moved the handkerchief towards her drooling mouth.
Leng Mushi: … Although the saliva on Xiao Mian's neck came from her, why didn't he use a new handkerchief to wipe her mouth?!
