"Are you bleeding? Does it hurt?" He looked at Chu Ci, who was lying on the ground with a broken head and bleeding, and asked her with some heartache.

  Chu Ci was so angry that she couldn't speak, but despite this, he still grasped the hand wearing a star-studded cuff and slowly tightened his grip, saying softly: "You still won't say anything?"

  Chu Ci's fingers were pinched by him, trembling non-stop, but she still bit her lips tightly, with such a tenacious attitude in front of this person, as if to tell the person in front of her that even if her head was broken and bleeding, even if he really cut off her hand, she would not give him anything belonging to the Crown Prince.

  The masked man stared at Chuyi's blood-stained body for a moment, let out a cold hum from his nostrils, and then pinched Chuyi's hand again before releasing it. "Alright, I'll give you one more day," he said. "If you still have this attitude tomorrow, you won't be treated so well."

  The masked man finished speaking in a cold tone and let out a mocking laugh, without caring how badly Chu Ci was hurt, then stood up and left into the darkness.

  Chu Ci lay on the cold and damp ground, weakly gasping for breath. She knew she was in pain, especially after being hit so hard that her head was buzzing with a dull hum. Blood seeped into the corners of her eyes, wet and blurry, obscuring her vision, but she still struggled to keep her consciousness clear.

  Her hand was already in so much pain that it couldn't move, but Chu Ci still didn't want to give up. She made a great effort to shift her upper body closer to the hand, and after a while, she finally managed to press her face against the edge of the hand. With her other hand trembling slightly, Chu Ci rotated the central pearl on the starry chain.

  The petals embedded in the Xīng Luó chain's ghostly bead slowly unfolded, but because her vital energy was weak, the light of the Xīng Luó chain flickered, as if it couldn't last much longer...

  But Xing Luo Chain suddenly lit up in an instant.

  "Chu Chu, where are you?" The voice of Emperor Luo Li came from the other end of the starry chain, with a hint of urgency that was hard to detect in his usual low and calm tone.

  Chu Ci grasped the star- chain pearl, weakly gasping for air, opened her mouth, only to find that her throat was so hoarse it didn't sound like her own: "Your Highness... I..."

  She wanted to tell him that she had been kidnapped, wanted to tell him that the person wanted to rob his star chain, and even more wanted to tell him how much pain she was in now...

  However, as soon as Chu Ci opened her mouth, she knew that she didn't have the strength to speak anymore. Moreover, without any vital energy to support her, the flickering star chain completely dimmed and went out in an instant...

  Can't hear Emperor Wu's voice anymore.

  Chu Ci didn't have the strength to turn the pearl again, she felt like she was going to die from the pain.

  Blood slowly blurred her eyes, and she also fainted again...

  It was very cold, and her whole body was getting colder and colder, as if the icy chill was piercing through her skin, stabbing her awake with a sharp pain.

  Chu Ci didn't know how long she had been asleep, but when she vaguely regained consciousness, she felt a slender and icy finger tip lightly stroking her neck, which almost startled her awake...

  She opened her eyes to find the masked man sitting beside her, with the scarf that had been torn from her neck wrapped around his hand, touching... the faint kiss mark he had left on her neck.

  Chu Ci frowned and raised her eyebrows, ignoring the pain as she lifted her hand to push his away, but it was quickly grasped again and held firmly in his palm.
