Chapter 234 My Demon-Sealing Tower
When that kiss, still carrying the scent of wine, ended, Tang Li was already panting heavily, her body as limp as a pool of spring water.
Pei Yunjing released her lips, but did not let go of her.
He bent down, slipped his arms under her knees, and lifted her up in his arms once again.
"Where to?" Tangli asked groggily.
"Go to the top of the tower."
Pei Yunjing chuckled softly and carried her to the wedding bed at the deepest part of the bedroom.
When Tang Li finally saw the bed in its entirety, even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise.
This is hardly a bed.
This is clearly a small, independent palace, or rather... an extremely luxurious cage.
This is a specially made rosewood canopy bed, more than twice the size of an ordinary bed.
The bedposts are thick and carved with intricate dragon patterns. At each of the four corners of the canopy above the bed hangs a delicate, openwork gold bell.
The golden bell would emit a clear, melodious, yet blush-inducing sound if the bed vibrated even slightly.
"Splash—"
Pei Yunjing carried her, stepped onto the footstool, and gently placed her between the mattresses covered with a bright red dragon and phoenix brocade quilt.
Tangli nestled in the soft quilt, her heart pounding as she looked at the swaying golden bell above her head.
"Do you like it?" Pei Yunjing didn't rush to press himself against him.
He stood by the bed, one hand supporting himself on the bedpost, the other gently stroking Tang Li's blushing cheeks.
His gaze was dark and obsessive, like a fine net that enveloped the little woman on the bed from head to toe, down to every single strand of her hair.
"Look at this house."
Pei Yunjing's voice was deep, carrying a chilling sense of satisfaction.
He pointed to the tightly closed doors and windows around him:
"I had all the windows reinforced with fine steel; they cannot be opened from the outside."
"All the walls are soundproofed, so even if you scream your lungs out inside, no one outside can hear a thing."
"Even under these floor tiles..."
Pei Yunjing's lips curved into a deep, affectionate smile:
"Three layers of bluestone slabs have been laid to prevent your rat friends from digging holes and stealing you away."
Tang Li: "..."
Preventing rats from digging holes? That's incredibly thoughtful!
"Not even a fly can get out of here."
Pei Yunjing lowered his head, his fingers sliding down her cheek and resting on her slender neck, his fingertips gently caressing her throbbing pulse.
That look in his eyes was no longer the restraint he usually showed.
That was the greed and frenzy of a wild beast when it finally dragged its prey back to its den and prepared to devour it all.
"Tangli".
He called her name, each syllable like some ancient incantation:
Do you remember what I said?
"Since you are a demon, I will build a tower for you."
Pei Yunjing leaned down, his black hair falling down and getting tangled with her dark hair spread out on the pillow.
"Now……"
He whispered in her ear, his warm breath making her tremble:
"My Demon-Sealing Tower is repaired."
Looking into her dazed eyes, Pei Yunjing slowly reached out and unbuttoned the first button on her collar.
His movements were elegant and composed, as if he were unwrapping a long-awaited gift.
"princess."
Pei Yunjing kissed her earlobe, his voice hoarse, issuing a final invitation:
"Please enter the tower."
"Splash—"
As the last button was unfastened, Pei Yunjing waved his hand.
The layers of thick, elaborate mermaid-style gauze curtains cascaded down like a red waterfall, completely obscuring the enormous canopy bed in a hazy red light.
The world was cut off, and this small space became their own private world.
