Witch, don't do anything reckless!

Chapter 78 Who gave you permission to kiss me?

"?"

Li Chuqiu looked at the cold, refined profile of Deputy Commander Liu, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Her tone doesn't sound right.

—Why does it sound like you're being stubborn?

This doesn't quite fit the personality of this Deputy Commander Liu!

"Caring for your superior is a subordinate's duty. As your most loyal subordinate, you naturally have an obligation to care about your boss's mental health."

Li Chuqiu slowly approached, observing the expression on the face of the Deputy Commander Liu before her.

As she approached, Liu Xu suddenly turned her head, her icy eyes filled with frost and an indescribable meaning.

"What do you want to do?!"

Li Chuqiu looked at the woman who seemed to be wrapped in frost from head to toe, giving off an aura of "stay away from me" and suddenly chuckled.

That soft laugh instantly chilled Liu Xu's entire body, and a biting coldness swept over her.

"You look quite handsome when you're angry."

Li Chuqiu suddenly spoke up.

Liu Xu suddenly looked up, her eyes showing a hint of surprise, but she stared at him with hostility.

"What did you say?!"

"I'm telling you, you're very good-looking!"

No one can refuse a compliment on their looks, even if the woman is angry.

Not to mention, Liu Xu, who was radiating coldness and had a sullen face, was even more charming in Li Chuqiu's eyes.

Kind of cute!

Perhaps their relationship had progressed to a certain stage, or perhaps it was after they "started dating yesterday." At this moment, Li Chuqiu felt no fear towards this Deputy Commander Liu; on the contrary, she found him quite interesting.

Looking at the cold, deliberately tense, and aloof face before her, Li Chuqiu suddenly had a strange thought.

From childhood to adulthood, as the daughter of the head of the Tianxuan Division and a direct disciple of the Tianxuan Division, no one dared to act presumptuously in front of Liu Xu, and no one praised her in such a straightforward, explicit, and even somewhat provocative manner.

Especially————

She's angry!

But when he met Li Chuqiu's calm gaze, for some reason, his heart trembled. The intense anger that had been there seemed to be filled with an unconcealable panic.

He dared to—

Liu Xu's cold eyes instinctively darted away. She turned her gaze away, her face still cold, her voice clear but with a hint of barely perceptible panic.

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

"Believe it or not, I'll kill you!"

Her tone was stern but weak, carrying a warning.

"I'm not lying."

Li Chuqiu wasn't intimidated by her. Instead, she continued to look at her and said earnestly, "You are very beautiful. You are beautiful even when you're cold, and even when you're angry—"

"Shut up!"

Liu Xu's heart trembled again. She fiercely told Li Chuqiu to shut up and not allow him to continue speaking.

In the past, if any scoundrel dared to say such things to her, she would have stabbed him to death with her sword long ago. But now, besides the overwhelming shame and panic in her heart, she was somewhat at a loss.

Li Chuqiu noticed her reaction.

She panicked!

Li Chuqiu suddenly stepped forward, while Liu Xu abruptly stepped back, as if startled, staring at him warily.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Xu's voice carried a hint of sullenness that she herself was unaware of. She looked away and turned around.

He took a deep breath, his voice turning cold again: "What exactly are you doing here?"

Li Chuqiu then spoke, her tone full of concern: "You left without saying goodbye at Prince Jing's residence earlier. I was worried something might have happened to you."

"I can leave whenever I want; do I have to report to you?!"

"Of course not."

Li Chuqiu shook her head: "You are my superior, and I am your subordinate. What kind of logic is it for a superior to report to a subordinate?"

"But I was just worried about you, wasn't I?"

These words seemed to ignite certain emotions within Deputy Commander Liu, who coldly replied, "No need!"

At this point, a hint of grievance welled up in her heart, and her tone became even colder and more indignant: "Didn't you leave with that Princess Jiang? What are you doing here?!"

But the moment the words left her mouth, Liu Xu regretted them.

—What exactly is she saying?

How could you say such a thing?

Has she gone mad?!

As expected, Li Chuqiu was taken aback.

I also wondered if I had misheard?

Her tone—

Looking at the woman in front of him, who still had her back to him, with a cold and aloof demeanor and an aura of frost, Li Chuqiu suddenly seemed to understand something.

His face first showed a look of astonishment, but after thinking about it carefully, that astonishment turned into surprise.

And then—it's quite meaningful!

"Vice Commander Liu?"

He called out softly.

No response.

The woman turned her back, leaving Li Chuqiu with only a stunningly beautiful back view that was both aloof and graceful.

But her words, spoken with a hint of grievance due to her emotional outburst, kept echoing in Li Chuqiu's mind.

Li Chuqiu suddenly laughed.

"Deputy Commander Liu, you've misunderstood!"

Li Chuqiu suppressed a smile: "Princess Chaoyang and I have absolutely no relationship—it's not what you're thinking!"

Upon hearing this, it seemed as if her thoughts had been seen through, and Liu Xu instinctively took a step to leave.

"It has nothing to do with me!"

The next second, her hand was grabbed!

The familiar warmth and scent, a large hand tightly gripping her delicate hand, making it difficult for her to break free.

"open!"

His voice was cold, tinged with a hint of hurried embarrassment.

He seemed somewhat ashamed.

Li Chuqiu ignored her, holding the soft, cool hand of the Deputy Commander Liu tightly as she softly explained, "I met Princess Chaoyang by chance a few days ago while investigating the case of the Prince Jing's heir. Like Deputy Commander Liu, she also suspects that the heir's wife murdered her brother—therefore, in order to facilitate the investigation of the heir's wife, I discussed and conspired with this young princess—"

"The reason she came to see me today is because I promised to help her investigate that Crown Princess two days ago, but after accidentally discovering the underground palace, I didn't have time to tell her about it. That's why she came to settle accounts with me in such a huff today."

"Believe me, she and I are completely innocent—it's absolutely not the kind of relationship you're thinking of!"

"Look, didn't I stand her up yesterday? If we really had something going on, would I have stood her up? — Don't you think that makes sense?"

What did Liu Xu misunderstand? What relationship was she thinking?

Li Chuqiu was unaware.

But he probably already guessed the real reason why this Deputy Commander Liu was angry!

—It really is because of him!

To be more precise, it was because of Jiang Ning's attitude towards Li Chuqiu at the Prince Jing's residence that this Deputy Commander Liu misunderstood, so she was angry—jealous?

It matches up!

Everything matches up!

Even Li Chuqiu's heart skipped a beat at that moment, but it was quickly replaced by an undisguised sense of pride and surprise.

"You don't need to explain to me!"

In her line of sight, Liu Xu still had her back turned, so her expression was unclear. Her voice was cold, as if she didn't care about Li Chuqiu's explanation at all.

"It has nothing to do with me!"

but----

Her body's reaction, however, was quite honest.

Having struggled to break free earlier, she was somewhat ashamed and indignant, wanting to leave. But after listening to Li Chuqiu's explanation, her struggles began to lessen.

Until the very end, he stood still, motionless.

It neither struggled nor turned around.

"How can it be alright?!"

Li Chuqiu looked at her: "Didn't you say we were going to be in a relationship? Well, now you're mine, and I'm yours—even if it's just to help you cultivate and mend your Dao heart, at least in name, we're in a romantic relationship!"

"Now that a misunderstanding has arisen, of course I need to explain it to you. Otherwise, wouldn't you think I'm the kind of heartless man who falls in love with every woman he meets and flirts around recklessly?"

Knowing that this woman was stubborn, Li Chuqiu even prepared a way out for her.

As expected, Liu Xu seemed dazed for a moment upon hearing Li Chuqiu's words.

Yes, because you're dating him?

—She couldn't say!

However, when she saw him talking intimately with the young princess of the Jing Prince's residence, and their close physical contact, she did feel extremely uncomfortable.

Very strong!

I feel very uncomfortable and inexplicably irritable!

At that moment, I had an urge to step forward, separate the two of them, and then stab him to death with a sword!

This feeling of irritability had been building up inside him, and when he hurriedly left the Prince Jing's residence under some pretext and returned home, it did not subside but instead became even stronger!

Until now, hearing Li Chuqiu explain his relationship with that young princess, hearing him bring up the fact that the two of them were dating—

The feeling of irritation in my heart gradually subsided.

Instead, a strange emotion that was hard to describe arose.

This left her feeling somewhat bewildered, so she could only respond with silence and a cold demeanor.

Li Chuqiu took in her reaction.

He took Liu Xu's small hand and came in front of her. Liu Xu looked up, her still aloof face staring at him warily.

"What are you doing?!"

"Are you still angry?"

Li Chuqiu gazed at the stunningly beautiful face before her, a sense of awe washing over her. She was indeed a bit cold, but her face was truly flawless.

Especially when she's angry and arrogant, she exudes an indescribable sense of conquering beauty.

How can it be so beautiful?

Feeling slightly flustered under Li Chuqiu's gaze, Liu Xu coldly looked away and said, "No."

Then, realizing what she'd done, she glared at him and exclaimed, "Why would I be angry?!"

"It's good that you're not angry. I'd be heartbroken if you got sick from it."

Liu Xu's heart skipped a beat. "You—you're not allowed to say that!"

"What are you not allowed to say?"

"No, you're not allowed to say such vulgar things!"

"Where is this vulgar?"

Li Chuqiu chuckled and said, "I'm just worried about you. You're not fully recovered yet, what if you upset yourself and make yourself sick?"

On Liu Xu's cold and beautiful face, a blush appeared like lightly parted ink, making her look stunningly beautiful.

Her breathing was rapid, and her tone was somewhat exasperated: "You...you still dare to say that?!"

"Let me go!"

Embarrassed and annoyed, Liu Xu struggled fiercely, trying to shake her off.

Li Chuqiu held her small hand even tighter, his gaze becoming even more unrestrained as he quietly admired this other side of Deputy Commander Liu that he had never shown before.

until.

How is your injury healing?

Li Chuqiu asked softly.

Liu Xu turned away, her face cold: "I won't die!"

Tsk, that tone!

She does have a bit of a proud and arrogant side.

"Let me see."

Li Chuqiu held her small hand and checked Liu Xu's physical condition.

Since her last encounter with the Blood Demon, Liu Xu forcibly used a forbidden technique and suffered a backlash. Although her life was not in danger, her body was severely injured, and the severity of her injuries caused her cultivation level to drop.

After several days of recuperation, the injuries are no longer serious. However, it will probably take some time before his cultivation level returns to its peak.

"Fortunately, the recovery is going well."

Li Chuqiu stared at her slender, long hands, which were like works of art, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xu gave him a cold look: "You can tell?!"

He's not a cultivator, so how could he see her physical condition?

—He was clearly taking the opportunity to deliberately touch her hand!

"How can I not see that?!"

Li Chuqiu replied confidently, "I could tell from the complexion on your face and from your pulse."

"The injury is healing well, but you still need to rest for a while and avoid getting angry easily, as it can harm your health!"

Liu Xu said coldly, "If you hadn't corrupted my Dao heart, how could I have been injured by that blood demon?"

Li Chuqiu: "————"

Is this woman starting to act unreasonably?

Her cultivation level is a whole level lower than that of the Blood Demon. Even if her Dao Heart is not damaged, can she really defeat him?

However, Li Chuqiu didn't hold it against her.

"Alright, alright, it's my fault. I shouldn't have ruined your Dao heart."

Li Chuqiu readily accepted the blame: "Don't worry, to make it up to you, I will definitely help you repair your Dao Heart!"

"—Your so-called helping me repair my Dao heart is just taking advantage of me by touching my hand?!"

A hint of sarcasm in his tone.

What's wrong with this woman?

They've started to argue back?

Li Chuqiu looked at her cold and beautiful face, which seemed to be deliberately covered with frost. She was beautiful, but she was a little too arrogant!

That's a bit stubborn!

—Does every girl like to be stubborn at this point?

Li Chuqiu gazed at her face, staring at this exquisitely beautiful face that was deliberately tense, with delicate features and thin lips slightly pursed, and suddenly a thought popped into her mind.

"I do have a way to help you quickly repair and restore your Dao Heart!"

"What method?"

Li Chuqiu didn't say anything, but instead grabbed Liu Xu's other small hand.

The willow catkins struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free.

"What are you doing?!"

Her voice was both embarrassed and annoyed, yet tinged with a hint of wariness.

"Look."

Li Chuqiu took her two slender hands in his left and right hands and gently raised them in front of them. Liu Xu subconsciously looked down, a hint of shyness and panic rising in her heart—what exactly did he want to do?!

This pose is both ambiguous and shameful!

Liu Xu instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Li Chuqiu gripped it tightly.

Not only that, he also went a bit too far with his hands, openly and brazenly touching her.

"you----"

Liu Xu looked up in embarrassment and annoyance, about to rebuke him angrily.

Li Chuqiu suddenly leaned closer!

Such a close distance caught me completely off guard.

In the instant Liu Xu looked up, Li Chuqiu accurately kissed her thin, rosy lips.

Liu Xu, caught off guard by the sudden attack, stood frozen in place.

A warm and familiar scent wafted over her, as if it wanted to fill her entire being!

The unusual touch, unlike anything she had ever experienced before, made her body tremble violently.

Wait until the next moment!

Her head snapped back.

Lip points.

A blush instantly spread across her fair and delicate face. Her cold eyes widened in disbelief, and feelings of shame and indignation surged forth at a visible speed.

Her eyes were filled with shock and anger, her voice trembled, and her face was full of undisguised coldness and rage!

"You, you————"

"Who, who gave you permission to kiss me?!"
