Chapter 306 Extra Story—The Acquaintance of Duanmu Gongyu in the Country of Mu Xia
Yun Muxi shoved away the heavy arm, straightening up and moving to a corner of the bed to nervously check herself: she was still wearing last evening’s white dress, holding the little bear in her arm. Confirming that she was not raped by the man, she was finally relieved and stared at the handsome man with vigilance.
The screaming woke Duanmu Gongyu up, opening his sharp eyes. The piercing eyesight focused on Yun Muxi.
Duanmu Gongyu frowned slightly and also straightened up to look at that strange woman in front of him. With no expression, he stared at Yun Muxi with his sharp slanted eyes.
“Who are you, why are you on my bed?” Yun Muxi asked alarmingly. Because of nervousness, her voice was a little trembling.
“Well?” Duanmu Gongyu glanced at her with a snort.
Yun Muxi finally found out something different, “It’s not right! The surroundings are different.” Yun Muxi looked around quickly, finding that the room was not big but the interior layout was totally different from her own era, which looked like a setting in costume dramas. The bed was made of wood, one side of which leaned against the wall. Both sides of the bed had wooden enclosures, while a yarn curtain surrounded the bed.
“Do I time-travel after waking up?” Yun Muxi whispered in a joke, but did not believe that such a kind of outdated plot would really happen to her.
In fact, Yun Muxi did not know that her dubious joke was in fact the truth. She seemed to feel something but was unwilling to believe.
Yun Muxi turned to shout at Duanmu Gongyu, “Is this a trick? Are we in a movie city? Or in a special theme hotel?” Yun Muxi stared at Duanmu Gongyu with her shiny eyes, hoping to figure out any clue from his face.
Duanmu Gongyu did not understand Yun Muxi’s words, including “movie city” and “theme hotel”. He frowned and stared at Yun Muxi, but did not answer her questions.
Yun Muxi seemed to notice Duanmu Gongyu feeling confused about her words and tempted to ask him, “Could you please tell me where this place is?”
“Emperor Yu Mansion.”
“Emperor Yu Mansion? What the hell is the Emperor Yu Mansion?” Yun Muxi murmured to herself and recalled whether there was a place with such a name. She was still confused after thinking twice but asked with doubts, “Don’t tell me, are you Prince Yu?”
“Yes, I am the third prince, Prince Yu.” Duanmu Gongyu answered faintly and deeply examined the little woman in front of him.
“Haha… Don’t joke with me. Prince Yu? I am Prince Xi, then.” Yun Muxi laughed with irony. She roasted in her mind, “Does he really think he is playing a palace drama? What a joke! He even tells me he is Prince Yu? I’d like to see how long you will keep this up.”
“I am Prince Yu indeed, Duanmu Gongyu.” Duanmu Gongyu’s expression was serious. No one could find any falsehood in it.
Yun Muxi felt nervous when seeing Duanmu Gongyu’s serious expression and tempted to ask again, “Where is the Emperor Yu Mansion located?”
“Jin Lin City.”
“Jin Lin City?…Where does is Jin Lin City located?” Yun Muxi felt more nervous and uneasy. What he talked about made no sense to Yun Muxi. She persuaded herself in her mind, “This man is too tricky. His performance seems to be real.”
“The country of Mu Xia.” Duanmu Gongyu behaved calmly, measuring her every movement seriously and even every subtle gesture.
“The country of Mu Xia…?” Yun Muxi felt even more uneasy. She searched all of her memory about history and geography knowledge. It did not sound like a country of her era. In history, she had not heard about it, either. Was it a small and unknown country in a corner of the world? Yun Muxi felt that it was not a joke.
Yun Muxi lowered her small head and frowned. Her tender and thin fingers were rubbing her delicate chin. She was trying to jog her memory to the extreme and search for any relative information in her mind.
Duanmu Gongyu still kept silent and measured Yun Muxi with his eyes, thinking that the woman was behaving weirdly; he was also trying to figure out where she came from. That woman made Duanmu Gongyu feel strange. Her black eyes were like a pool of clear water, which could prove that she was a simple girl. A piece of smartness was hidden in her eyes. Duanmu Gongyu felt more interested in Yun Muxi, fixing his eyes on her.
Yun Muxi thought about it for a while but found nothing useful. She asked again, “Could you please tell me what year is this?”
“The 36th year of Emperor Zhouxi.”
Yun Muxi felt weirder and weirder and murmured to herself, “Am I still drunk? Am I still dreaming?” Then, she even gave a pinch to Duanmu Gongyu’s arm. The painful feeling made him snort and glare at her.
“You can feel pain. It means that I am not dreaming!” Yun Muxi opened her eyes widely and didn’t feel good. It seemed that her hair was about to blow up. Raising her head, she asked again, “How did I get here?”
“I was reading a book at my desk, and you showed up,” Duanmu Gongyu said faintly with no emotion in his voice. He seemed to have described an insignificant problem.
In fact, Duanmu Gongyu also felt strange in his mind, since the little woman’s appearance was too weird! Her hairstyle, dress style, and the way she talked were all weird. Indeed, the weirdest was the way she had appeared there!
Yun Muxi said in disbelief, “How could it be possible? Yesterday, my father was about to support the international medical organization in Africa. I sent him to the airport and came back home to prepare for the graduation party of my class. When I got downstairs, I met Mou Yichen and he sent me a graduation gift, this white bear.
“Then, I arrived at the party and Xue Shanshan said that this little bear was very special, a limited edition. Later, Lu Yuxin said I was late, so I needed to drink a cup of wine as an apology. I drank a cup of fruit flavored cocktail. Um… later, I got drunk and knew nothing afterwards…”
Yun Muxi murmured what had happened the day before, seemingly explaining to Duanmu Gongyu or to herself.
She tried her best to recall everything, hoping to find a trace of clues. She felt that there had to be something wrong in some parts and felt more and more nervous about the situation.
What the hell had happened? Who could tell her the truth? She really didn’t know what happened later!
Yun Muxi rubbed her aching forehead with anger. Those nonsensical matters seemed to make her even sicker.
Yun Muxi whispered with irony, Don’t tell me I really time-traveled. It’s ridiculous! How could this bizarre thing happen to me? This must be a prank…”
Duanmu Gongyu couldn’t understand Yun Muxi’s self-talking, but looking at Yun Muxi’s expression, he could tell that the little woman was not lying. However, nothing could not be understood, which made him feel more puzzled.
He could not help recalling what happened the previous night.
Duanmu Gongyu was reading a book. He did not get out of the room and no one got in. When he was about to sleep and changed to his pajamas, he found a beautiful woman on his bed.
Originally, he thought that he had been too focused when reading a book and did not find her sneaking in. Then, he asked the secret guard Dong Fangying who was hiding in the darkness.
Dong Fangying answered in a low voice, “Master, no one came in.”
The other three secret guards, Xi Fangchi, Nan Fangjing, and Bei Fangye all answered the same.
Their answers confused him more. It was possible for one of them to miss something, but impossible for all of them to not notice someone’s appearance.
Moreover, he and the four dark guards were trained in special ways, who were really good at perceptual abilities and martial arts. Few times would they make mistakes. With their protection, even a fly would be unable to get in, not to mention such a human being.
That certainly made everyone feel doubtful.
Duanmu Gongyu ordered Dong Fangying to investigate the woman’s background. Waiting for the late-night, Dong Fangying was back.
Dong Fangying reported in a low voice, “Master, we’ve checked the profiles of all citizens of Jin Lin Country, but such a person does not exist. We’ve also learned from the agencies all over the city that they’ve never seen this strange woman before,” Dong Fangying reported seriously.
Duanmu Gongyu furrowed his brows and narrowed his eyes into a thin line, as he immersed himself deep in thoughts. That woman was very strange, and it was as if she had appeared out of nowhere.
Duanmu Gongyu walked close to the bed and stared at that little woman who seemed to have appeared out if thin air, surprisingly finding that she looked like his empress dowager.
However, she was far more beautiful and had better-defined features. Furthermore, her aura was different from the empress dowager’s feminine nature. She was even more refreshing; a little lively and cute.
She had black and silky hair that reached her shoulders, which she plaited into two long thin braids and let them dangle naturally. Her fringe reached her eyebrows and she had it affixed with a cherry hair clip decorated with small diamonds, thus exposing her round and glowy forehead. Her cherry hair clip was especially refreshing as it stood out on her dark and silky hair.
Her five sense organs matched well and perfectly. No one was willing to distract their eyes from her.
In his eyes, Yun Muxi’s hairstyle was cute but yet extremely weird. No one in their world would keep short hair. Let alone such a weird hairstyle. Her outfit was also strangely awkward.
Yun Muxi had a white watch on her right hand and was hugging a teddy bear. He had never seen those strange things before, nor did he understand why she had a white ribbon on her left hand. Nobody there would have worn those accessories.
Duanmu Gongyu carefully looked at the woman who came from nowhere, fixing his eyesight on her tender lips. Her lips seemed to be magically attractive to Duanmu Gongyu, making him hope to taste them.
Duanmu Gongyu fixed his eyes on the tempting lips and desire soared. He could not help kissing the sweet little mouth.
When his lips touched her mouth, the tender feeling made him keep kissing her with greed. Her lips contained a faint taste of fruits. The first time he tasted was addictive to Duanmu Gongyu. Following his senses, he was immersed in a sweeter taste.
The little woman’s unique sweetness contained a faint taste of fruits and wine. That kind of sweet flavor made Duanmu Gongyu forget everything and was drowned in it.
Duanmu Gongyu had always refused any woman’s touch, including fresh and refined women or those who were glamorous and sexy. He would even have no feelings and be indifferent to a supremely sexy lady. He had always been good at controlling himself and had never lost himself to impulses.
That was because he had always thought that women were the last trouble one needed to have. They were greedy, changeable, selfish, and heartless. He had a prejudice towards women, and it was engraved into his bones. Hence, he had always rejected them. All females who tried to come close to him had been harshly rejected harshly, and he normally kept a great distance from them. Not a single woman could touch his body, because that made him extremely uncomfortable.
However, Yun Muxi was a fatal attraction for him and he naturally wanted to get close.
The long-lasting kiss disturbed Yun Muxi who fell into a deep sleep, frowning and snorting with dissatisfaction.
It was precisely that whining that startled him. He was drunk in his enjoyment. Immediately, all his hairs stood up and he was shocked at his own behavior. He had actually kissed that lady! Not only did he not hate touching her, but he was also fatally attracted by her. That force of attraction made him want to get close to her naturally. He could not hold back the desire to touch her, nor could he control himself from wanting to gain more of her.
He sat by the bed and was deep in thoughts for a while. He temporarily attributed his behavior to the resemblance between the lady and the empress dowager. However, deep down in his heart, he crazily yearned for that strange woman to stay by his side, regardless of her reason for appearing, be it on purpose, or with the intention to harm.
Duanmu Gongyu, who had always been very sane and indifferent, decided to be selfish that time and do whatever he wanted with his inner feelings.
Duanmu Gongyu said to himself with a chuckle, “Since I’m not rejecting her, let it be.” Then, he took off his robe and lay beside the little woman with his pajama, pulling the quilt to tuck the both of them.
The little woman’s unique body fragrance was light and smelled good. Duanmu Gongyu could not help getting closer to her to feel the unique smell. The bed was wide enough for two or three people, but Duanmu Gongyu dragged the tender body into his arm and fell asleep.
It was Yun Muxi’s screaming what had woken Duanmu Gongyu up. He was ever the light sleeper, but that time, he slept soundly. Since his empress dowager had passed away, sleeping had always represented a big complication for the prince. He had not expected that he could have such a good sleep without a nightmare. Without that screaming, he might have continued to sleep until noon.
Duanmu Gongyu did not feel any annoyance because of Yun Muxi’s disturbance, since he had a good sleep the night before. On the contrary, he answered everything Yun Muxi asked.
The thought resurfaced on his mind: perhaps, it was good to keep her close.
