"Mu Yitong, you must die! Don't worry about him. I will treat him well...He will never miss you again. He will never love you again. He will completely forget you!" The woman smiled sinisterly with hatred. She tightened her ferocious grip on the slender neck under the water and never let go of it. As the ruthless sea wind blew, her sharp voice rose and fell, carrying a murderous intent.
Under the starry sky, she knelt on a reef and lowered her body further. That made her murder easier. Her beautiful eyes were fiercely wide open, and her long hair was tousled. Reflected in the turbulent seawater, she was like a life-threatening ghost.
As the cold and salty seawater poured into her nose and mouth, her lungs were running out of air. Yitong struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free from the hands that were firmly pressed against the back of her neck. The endless darkness in front of her made her panic and despair...
She didn't want to die. She didn't want to be killed by this despicable person who betrayed and deceived her. She wanted to live! She was in her prime of life and hadn't enjoyed it!
However, her lungs and throat were extremely painful as she ran out of oxygen and the seawater poured in.
A dazzling light suddenly appeared in deep seawater. She instinctively closed her eyes. In an instant, the salty seawater that poured into her nose and mouth suddenly lost its flavor. Was it her illusion? The water was actually not salty, but sweet?
She was about to run out of strength. She felt that the hands on the back of her neck disappeared, but her body was floating in the water. She hurriedly struggled with all her might.
"Help, help...Gulp...Cough...Help..."
She vaguely saw a white marble bridge. On the bridge, there was an elegant fat woman. Her hair was tied in a high bun with jewelry, and her dark golden robe glowed with luxurious light under the bright moon.
How could there be a white marble bridge? Was she dead? Yitong didn't have time to think about the question. She just tried her best to ask for help. "Help...Save me...Cough..."
Unfortunately, the woman in the dark golden robe looked at her coldly and contemptuously. Her face in the shadow had a ruthless and mocking smile. Then, she turned around and left.
"Don't...Go...Gulp..."
On the surface of the water, her long hair was like turbulent algae. She waved her pure white robe sleeves, shattering the jade duckweed on the surface of the lake.
Inadvertently, her slender hands touched something warm. What was it? How could it be hairy? Yitong hurriedly wrapped her arms around it and hugged it tightly, as if she grabbed a life-saving straw, never letting go of it.
She awkwardly clung on to the furry thing which was paddling in the water. She put her head out of the water and coughed out the water in her stomach. Under the bright moonlight, she discovered that what she was hugging was a big white dog. But...why were there lotus leaves shaking beside her? Furthermore, she could smell the fragrance of lotus flowers.
What...what exactly was going on?
Wasn't she in the sea? Why were there rugged rocks around? And also white bridge and antique pavilion? In the distance, there was actually a tall and elegant building. The lanterns in front of the building shone brilliantly, a scene that only appeared in costume dramas.
This was clearly not in Maldives! She clearly remembered the white beaches, seawater, and the hotel suite she stayed in in Maldives.
Before she arrived there, she had been working non-stop for more than 20 hours for a fashion show. As soon as she entered the hotel suite, she fell asleep on the bed.
Then, a few fragments flashed in her mind, which still shocked and puzzled her.
It wasn't a dream. She remembered that when she woke up later, she went to the beach to find her beloved man, Xin Hao.
She saw the coast and the starry sky there. She heard laughter. Then, she found a couple kissing each other on the couch. They were the most familiar persons to her. The man was her fiancé, Xin Hao, and the woman was her best friend, Zhao Lu. They would have ripped off each other's clothes and done something even more shameful had it not been for the fact that they were on the beach!
She stood there and watched them for ten minutes. Zhao Lu became limp during the kissing and lay in Xin Hao's arms. He held her tightly and whispered sweet words by her ear, making her giggle.
Yitong was not an idiot. She believed that she was not mistaken. She also believed that this was not the first time that they had dated each other. She hated that she didn't know much about love.
She left secretly and comforted herself on an uninhabited reef. But Zhao Lu's provocative voice came from behind.
"He doesn't love you at all!"
"Then why did he propose to me?"
"You cannot compare with me. You are just an orphan, a pretty pathetic makeup artist. I am the daughter of the Zhao Group and can help him in his career. If you love him, you should let go of him! I did plastic surgery just for getting his attention."
"You reprimanded me for my boyfriend. You hurt your best sister for a despicable man who had proposed to someone else! Is it worth it?"
"Shut up! You and I have never been good sisters. Five years ago, I approached you just to be with Xin Hao!"
"Five years ago." When Yitong thought of the words, she couldn't help but laugh bitterly at herself.
A man's greatest pride was that when his beloved girl ignored him, he should chase and win her love and spent his life trying to prove to her that choosing him was right.
The greatest pride of a woman was that when the man she liked ignoring her, she should resolutely turn around and leave, and found herself a new boyfriend to prove to him that she could find a man better him.
"Lu, I'll give you my ring to fulfill your wish."
"This is not enough!"
"Not enough?" What else did she want from her?
"You must completely disappear. Only then does his heart belong to me."
Afterwards, she was caught off guard and her head was pushed into the deep black seawater...
Yitong remembered everything. But she was still puzzled. Even if she had died, she should still be in Maldives. Why was she in this antique place?
Also, she was saved by a snow-white big dog, not a human?
Thinking of the woman in the dark golden robe she saw when she was in the water, she shook her head mockingly. That was the hypocrisy of the world. Even the person she loved the most betrayed her, let alone a stranger who had nothing to do with her?
The dog was huge and as strong as a lion. It had a pair of green eyes. Its four claws paddled effortlessly in the water. Finally...it brought her ashore.
"Thank you! Thanks to you, otherwise I would...cough..." Yitong lay prone on the ground, coughing violently because of the discomfort in her lungs.
She just came out of the water, felt cold and shivered even when a slight gust of night wind blew. It also made her realize that she was actually still alive, able to feel the coldness, and completely unharmed. She rejoiced and was pleasantly surprised because of that uncomfortable feeling.
The dog wagged the tail, swayed the head, and shook its entire body, trying to shake off water on the body. Then its hair turned fluffy and its body looked larger. It also showed a fierce and aggressive aura.
Yitong was born loving dogs. So she was not afraid of it. On the contrary, she felt that it looked fierce and cute when swinging its body.
In her heart, dogs were far kinder and more loyal than humans.
When she struggled to sit up, she found that her red beach clothes had turned into a white robe. In front of her was, really a lotus pond surrounded by rockery, and behind it was a dense, endless forest.
After looking around, she recovered from the horror of escaping death. "What exactly is this place?"
Of course, she didn't expect the dog next to her to answer the question. But it, or he more precisely, did so.
"This is your home, the Prime Minister's Mansion of Mu Clan." The voice was hoarse and twisted. Its tune was not even, as if it was suffering severe pain caused by broken bones and tendons.
Hearing that, Yitong turned her head. She discovered that the dog beside him had actually straightened up. Under her gaze, it had turned into a tall and sturdy man. Moreover, he was naked.
She was so shocked that she forgot to scream. She was totally stunned.
He stood there. As the distant lights intertwined with the moonlight shone behind him, he showed a majestic outline. His wild aggressiveness faintly burst forth, shocking people's hearts. His long black hair glowed with water light, which was unrestrained and flew down his shoulders, covering his face in a dark shadow. Only the outline of his facial features could be vaguely seen. But because of this, it made him even more mysterious and unfathomable.
She opened her mouth so widely that it could be stuffed with an egg. She raised her head with all her might, but only saw that under the shadow of his hair was a pair of jade-colored eyes that looked like translucent glass. Furthermore, his eyes were burning when staring at her body that was faintly discernible under her wet white clothes.
When their gazes met, the atmosphere clearly became ambiguous. There was also a trace of eccentricity in it. Because she did not lower her head unnaturally, but only covered her body with her arms while continuing his stare at him fearlessly.
The corners of the man's lips curled up suspiciously. Then his eyes stared at her with interest. Moreover, he generously let her look him up and down.
She had seen the transformations in movies. For example, a frog transformed into a prince, an evil spirit turned into a human, and Sun Wukong could transform himself into seventy-two different forms...But she had never seen the true and real version of that transformation.
He was like Jacob Black, a werewolf in Twilight, who turned into a gorgeous pretty boy from a furry dog. Although she could not see his face clearly, she was certain that he looked very handsome. Moreover, she was confident that it was the exquisite face of the male lead in a movie.
This must be a special effect scene!
Usually, her job involved a lot of complicated makeup tasks. So she knew about some film and television photography techniques. Some special effects were made using a huge photography cloth.
"All of this must be fake...The male lead was chosen well, very impressive!"
She muttered to herself and impolitely examined every part of his body.
Judged from a professional point of view, he had the standard male model figure and was qualified to be a male lead. However, when her gaze inadvertently swept past the that thing between his legs, her cheeks were still "unprofessionally" hot.
She did not speak to him, and guessed that she might be dreaming. This was the only proper explanation. Only in a dream could one be revived from the dead, and could travel from one scene to another without restraints.
The man started to feel unhappy. He was real and saved her. He shouldn't be treated as nothing after being seen naked.
Tonight was a full moon night. A moment ago, he hid in a rockery over there to dodge the patrol guards. But his bones and muscles suddenly burned. He could only take off his clothes and jumped into the lake, trying to relieve the pain caused by his transformation with the cold lake water. At this moment, his clothes were still on the rockery.
He had been hiding in Prime Minister's Mansion for many days, observing her for a long time. She was weak in character, gentle and well-mannered. How could she stare at his body so carelessly without feeling ashamed? Could it be that his transformation had scared her silly just now? At the time, Five Phoenix Dynasty and Snow Wolf Clan were the two largest countries in the world. As the second young lady of Prime Minister's Mansion, she should have seen the werewolf transformation before.
Yitong ignored him at all, searching along the small path on the shore and trying to walk out of this strange "dream".
"Mu Yitong, are you alright?"
Yitong stopped and looked blankly for the source of the voice. Was it from the male lead? Did he know she was Mu Yitong?
She walked back and pointed at her own nose. "You knew me? You're the male lead in this drama, aren't you?" She must be afflicted with intermittent amnesia and could not remember when she joined the crew.
The man was puzzled and did not understand what she was talking about. However, he guessed that she might have been hit in the head and had forgotten who she was.
"You are Mu Yitong, the Second Young Lady of Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"Who is Second Young Lady of Prime Minister's Mansion? You're too immersed in your role!" Yitong felt a tingle in her temples as if she encountered an electromagnetic induction. Everything turned black before her eyes. She hurriedly hugged her head and crouched down to relieve her discomfort. "What's wrong with me? My head hurts."
"You were in the water for too long. Moreover, you were beaten in the head before you fell into the water." He smiled thoughtfully, "Mu Yitong, wait for me." Before she could respond, he jumped over the lake. When he flew back from the rockery, his body was already covered in a black brocade robe. "Let me take you back to your room."
Because of the stinging pain in her temples, she kept groaning and even could not stand steadily, let alone walk. "My head hurts."
"If you don't mind, I can hug you." His voice was gentle but hoarse, deliberately revealing his charm.
She did not refuse. In such a situation, refusing would only make her suffer more.
"Then...thank you."
She no longer felt cold in his arms. However, he was too tall that she felt that being held in his arms like this made her feel like a baby hanging in a cradle. Afraid that she would fall, she instinctively hugged his neck and found a comfortable position in his embrace, warming herself with his body temperature.
The night was quiet. The handsome and muscular black-clothed figure carried the pure white figure into the glorious pavilions, as if it became part of a beautiful night picture scroll.
She quietly smelled that he had a good body fragrance. It was not a flower fragrance, but a mixture of his natural body fragrance and ambergris.
She could not help but secretly sniff at his neck, but did not notice that the tip of her nose touched his skin, and shallow breathing sprayed on the sensitive side of his neck.
His footsteps slowed down abruptly and his body temperature rose rapidly.
Because of this unusual heat, her cheeks, which were sticking to his skin, burned hot as if it caught fire. Moreover, the fire seemed to grow even more intense, spreading to her heart. She did not dare to look into his shining eyes anymore.
"You...your body is so hot." If this continued, his high body temperature would cook her alive.
"It's a little hot. Werewolves have much higher body temperatures than humans." Carrying a soft and tender woman whose graceful figure was partly naked in her wet clothes, if he wasn't hot, he wouldn't be a normal man.
"Hahaha, you're still memorizing your lines? What werewolves? That move of yours must be a special effect, right? How did you do it? Where's the wolf skin?"
"It is a natural reaction at a full moon night. The wolf skin is the skin on my body." Didn't she see everything clearly?
