Chapter 87 -   Conscience ("Every word of yours hurts like a dagger. I don't feel that you have a conscience.") (3)  

A long while had passed before Mu ZhenYu finally nodded gently and said, “I know.”

“You knew?” That was unexpecting but not unreasonable. Xu WanZhi nodded too and said, “That make sense, I guess. You were the one who asked me to cure Mu XiYuan, so you must have your plans… Well, I just wanted you to know was all.”

“So you called tonight to see if I was going to be home so you could tell me that?” His tone was high and mighty but surprisingly not repulsive. 

Xu WanZhi nodded and said, “Yes, I thought it’s best we talk about this face to face. Screens are so big nowadays. Who knows who else could see our screen if I have texted you?”

Mu ZhenYu suddenly felt that this girl was quite interesting. 

It was late and it’s getting dimmer outside. The atmosphere inside the apartment was peculiar and she was sitting so close to him. Her leg was only separated from his by a thin layer of fabric of his dress pants. 

She was just walking down the red-carpet in light-hearted steps not too long ago. 

Half the actresses from the entertainment circle was there competing among each other to be the most beautiful one there and she was the one who stood out the most. 

And now, she was seriously discussing the screen sizes of cellphones with him?

He stretched out his right arm and placed it over the back of the couch behind her, making her entire body falling almost entire in his arm. “Xu WanZhi, if only you didn’t keep on reminding me about your amazing customer service, I’d almost think that you care about me.”

Xu WanZhi leaned back a little bit and said, “You are quite nice to me. The fifty million notwithstanding… I have a conscience too.”

That’s the ways of the demons were in the past hundreds and thousands of years. They know who were good to them and who weren’t. Which was why demons were always returning favors in folklores. 

Xu WanZhi clearly remembered that original owner did not live as long as her in the novel. 

And, up to this point in time, she has yet to be locked inside of the trunk of the car. That was definitely a favor that she needed to return. 

As such, her “conscience theory” might sounded grand but she was, in fact, telling the truth. 

The smile, on the other hand, left Mu ZhenYu’s face and he returned to his usual cold look. “Every word coming from you hurt like a dagger. I certainly don’t feel that you have a conscience.”

Xu WanZhi was a little stunned and wasn’t sure how to respond. 

Mu ZhenYu stood up, took his shirt off and tossed it to one side. The muscles on his back bulged out a little. Then, back to his normal strong and mean tone, he said, “I’m going to shower. You should too. Don’t stay up too late.”

“Okay.” Xu WanZhi never knew what it was that she said that had offended him. She, too, stood up and walked toward her own bathroom as she reached back to undo her necklace. 

She was half way through when she noticed that Mu ZhenYu had stopped in his steps. 

The air seemed to have solidified. Without needing to use her magic, she could feel his eyes burning a hole on her back. 

She sighed to herself then, turning around, asked him, “What’s the matter?”

Mu ZhenYu didn’t say anything but walked over to her briskly. He lifted his arms and his slender fingers tugged at it gently and he took her necklace off for her. Handing it over to her, he said, “Here.”

Then, he placed his hands on the zipper on the back of her dress and said to her, “Hang on to your dress.”

“What did you just say?” Before Xu WanZhi could process what he was saying to her, he had already unzipped her dress. 

His knuckles, running down the entire length of her back, gave her a tingling sensation. She quickly grabbed onto her dress and, quickly throwing him a “thank you”, dashed into the bathroom without even daring to look back. 

He could hear the sound of the bathroom door being locked. Remaining at the same spot for a long time, he finally let out an ironic sigh at himself. 

Standing under the cold water, all he could think of was her smooth back and her pale skin. 

She was ridiculously delicate.
