Chapter 109 Demon Locking Tower
"I admit it."
Tang Li's voice was very soft, yet in the quiet study, it was as clear as metal falling to the ground.
She looked up at the man on the verge of madness.
She knew that at this moment, even uttering a single wrong word would mean utter destruction.
But she knew even better what this man wanted.
"As early as that wedding night..."
Tang Li's fingers tightened, gripping the fabric at his waist, her eyes clear and resolute:
"From the moment I held your hand instead of letting Big White bite your throat..."
“I have already accepted God.”
At that time, she really wanted to live.
But now, she really wants to stay by his side.
boom--!
Pei Yunjing's pupils suddenly trembled.
These words were like a key, instantly unlocking the rusty, long-sealed door in his heart.
Wedding night.
That night was filled with bloodshed and testing.
From that moment on, it was no longer a simple marriage in lieu of marriage, but a pact between a demon and a monster.
"well!"
Pei Yunjing said "good" twice.
The last trace of gloom and resentment in his eyes vanished in that instant.
Instead, there is an unprecedented and ultimate pleasure and satisfaction.
The gaze was no longer fixed on the prey, but on the only half of his body that belonged to him alone in the world.
"Having already acknowledged the Lord, there is no way to retreat."
Pei Yunjing's large hand slid up her back and finally slipped into her cascading black hair.
His movements were gentle and adoring, as if he were stroking the fur of a rare and precious animal, with a chilling reverence.
"Tangli".
He lowered his head, his lips brushing against her earlobe, his voice deep and seductive, like a devil tempting a mortal to sign a pact to sell her soul:
"Since you are a demon, then this human world is too dangerous for you."
"The outside world is too dirty, people are too wicked, and there are fools everywhere who want to burn you alive and petty people who want to take advantage of you."
Pei Yunjing raised his head and looked around the dim but sturdy study, as if looking through the walls at the entire majestic and imposing Regent's Palace.
"so……"
A stubborn and arrogant smile curved his lips as he declared, word by word:
"From this day forward, this Regent's Palace will be the Demon-Sealing Tower that I built for you."
Tang Li's heart skipped a beat.
Demon-Sealing Tower?
Why does this name sound like a line from a villainous big boss?
But Pei Yunjing didn't give her a chance to complain.
He cupped her face in his hands, his eyes burning with the flame of "absolute protection":
"You will stay in the tower."
"Everything in this tower—gold and silver treasures, fine clothes and delicacies, even my life—belongs to you."
"You can be arrogant, greedy, and lawless."
Pei Yunjing leaned closer to her, their noses touching, his tone both domineering and doting:
"This life, the next life."
"You demon, you can only cause trouble in the palm of my hand."
No one but me can hurt you.
No one but me will see you.
You can be your queen inside the tower, and I'll kill everyone in the world who dares to touch you outside the tower.
This is Pei Yunjing's love.
Distorted, heavy, yet it gives people an irresistible sense of security.
Tang Li looked at him, at the man who wanted to "imprison" her.
If it were another time-traveling woman, she might think this was a restriction of freedom, or that it was perverted.
But Tang Li is an ordinary person, a lazy person, and a wise person who knows the dangers of this world.
Outside, she was a vixen hated by everyone, a concubine's daughter whose life was as worthless as grass.
But in his "tower," she was the only treasure, the master whom even the regent had to bow down and fawn over.
This is hardly like being in jail.
This is clearly a case of latching onto the world's most powerful backer, thus reaching the pinnacle of life!
"OK."
Tang Li suddenly smiled.
She smiled, her eyes crinkling like a fox that had successfully stolen some fish.
She reached out and hooked her arms around Pei Yunjing's neck, clinging to him, her voice sweet and composed:
"Then Your Highness must keep your word."
"This tower must be made of gold, and there must be an endless supply of braised pork."
"What if we run out of food one day, or if someone dares to bully me..."
Tang Li deliberately put on a fierce expression, revealing her small white teeth, and gently bit his neck:
"This demon of mine can bite, you know."
Pei Yunjing felt a slight pain and tingling sensation in his neck, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently.
He suddenly tightened his arms, pulling her tightly into his embrace, and let out a low, triumphant laugh:
"rest assured."
"As long as I live."
"This tower will not collapse."
