Chapter 286: Editor Gu, I Won't Treat You Like That

Gu Yang was shrouded in a shadow, appearing grim and terrifying.

This was because the courtyard before him was only a few hundred meters away from the publishing house in a straight line.

The guide did not enter with him, turning to leave as if his task were complete.

Gu Yang reined in his emotions at top speed, scanning his surroundings before stepping inside.

The street was ordinary, showing no signs of anything unusual whatsoever.

They had even passed through here multiple times during their previous searches, and even Du Jinsong and the others had failed to notice a thing.

Yet, standing here at this moment, Gu Yang felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

And this was definitely not an illusion.

A few seconds later, he knocked on the gate.

The door opened, but no one walked out.

Without any hesitation, Gu Yang strode inside.

The moment he crossed the threshold, the door made an eerie sound and closed automatically.

An ordinary person would have been scared half to death by this scene, but Gu Yang was mentally prepared for anything; besides, nothing was more terrifying than not being able to find Su Yan.

Only a single candle flickered in the small courtyard, leaving no need for Gu Yang to make any judgments.

He soon reached the door of the house, immediately followed by a faint, delicate fragrance.

A familiar, charming laugh drifted out from the room.

Gu Yang's expression was cold, and remained cold.

Liu Yiyi was half-reclining on the bed, her body wrapped in nothing but a thin veil of gauze. Under the flickering dim candlelight, the entire room was filled with an erotic atmosphere.

"Editor Gu, we meet again."

Her lazy murmur was like that of a cat in heat.

The gaze she directed at Gu Yang was unabashedly fervent.

Gu Yang's face was filled with disgust. "Did you take Yan Yan?"

Liu Yiyi's expression froze for a moment, seemingly dissatisfied with his reaction.

"So what if I did? And so what if I didn't?"

A shadow darkened Gu Yang's eyes. "I am already here. Release Yan Yan immediately!"

Kidnapping Su Yan was meant to coerce him, and now her wish had been granted.

Liu Yiyi let out a sneer. "What exactly does that girl have that is better than me? What makes you care so much about her?"

In terms of beauty, she was not as charming.

In terms of figure, she was not as enchanting.

"That is a question I should be asking you. Why are you so determined to have me?" Gu Yang's face was covered in frost, his sword-like brows raised, exuding an innate authority even in his anger.

Liu Yiyi finally rose from the bed and slowly approached him.

Only then did Gu Yang realize that this woman was wearing nothing at all beneath that layer of thin gauze, her entire body appearing and disappearing through the fabric.

He wished he could gouge his own eyes out.

Shameless.

Seeing his lowered eyelids, Liu Yiyi's laughter grew even more wanton as she walked straight up to him.

The pungent fragrance made Gu Yang feel so nauseous he wanted to vomit; the veins on his hands hanging at his sides were faintly bulging.

"Since Editor Gu knows what it is I want, why not just give it to me obediently? After tonight, you will be able to see your Yan Yan."

Liu Yiyi's restless gaze greedily scraped over Gu Yang's body, as if she wanted to strip him bare immediately and enjoy a bout of passion.

"Yan Yan really was taken by you."

Gu Yang spoke word by word, killing intent surging in his eyes.

Liu Yiyi looked triumphant. "Of course it was me."

"How is she now?" Gu Yang forced himself to remain calm, confirming Su Yan's condition.

Liu Yiyi's fair fingers hovered over his chest, extremely provocative. "She's alive, but if I am unsatisfied tonight, I can't guarantee anything."

Gu Yang grabbed her wrist, intending to crush it.

"If even a hair on Yan Yan's head is harmed, I will not let you go!"

Every word was heavy as a thousand pounds.

Liu Yiyi's wrist turned red from the grip, yet she showed no sign of pain; instead, she grew even more smug.

"Don't be so ready to die, Editor Gu. It's not like I'm going to eat you. Who knows, after tonight, you might not be able to live without me."

Before her voice had even faded, she was already impatiently trying to undress him.

Gu Yang, however, stopped her movement.

She frowned deeply, becoming impatient with his resistance, even showing a hint of anger.

Without waiting for her to lash out, Gu Yang said, "In the long night, why bother caring about this fleeting moment? Besides, you said yourself that it would be better if I were willing."

Liu Yiyi suppressed the surging emotions in her heart. "What more do you want?"

Her patience was also limited. Although the Great One had said that his voluntary submission would be best, she wouldn't mind taking him by force.

The first essence and blood of the Solar Body must belong to her!

"I want to know if your painstaking efforts to come to the publishing house were all because of me?" Although Gu Yang was asking, he already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to hear her say it herself.

"Yes." Liu Yiyi did not hesitate for a second.

"The people who went missing in the city before—you did that too, didn't you?" Gu Yang's tone remained certain.

Liu Yiyi remained noncommittal. "But how could they compare to you? As long as I have you, I will never need anyone else again."

Even if those useless people were sucked dry by her, they could never meet her requirements.

"Are they still alive?"

"Dead."

Liu Yiyi answered Gu Yang quite casually, as if the question itself was foolish.

The lines of Gu Yang's cheeks tightened. Although it was within his expectations, his heart was still heavy.

Liu Yiyi comforted him intimately, "But don't worry, I won't treat you like that."

Gu Yang's voice dropped to an extreme low. "Why should I believe you?"

Liu Yiyi frowned slightly; before tonight, she had never treated a man with such patience.

"Fine, I might as well tell you something. To me, you are much more important than those stinking men. I won't let you die easily."

Gu Yang let out a cold laugh. "Letting me live just to be your slave."

"Don't say it so unpleasantly. I will be gentler with you. The night is short, Editor Gu, let's not let it go to waste, shall we?" Liu Yiyi leaned softly against his body.

More than ten minutes had passed since he entered; the aphrodisiac incense should have taken effect by now. It should have been the time for him to cry out and beg her.

Sure enough, this time Gu Yang did not push her away, but instead followed the momentum and lightly embraced her.

Liu Yiyi was incredibly satisfied, impatiently trying to tear open his collar, completely failing to notice Gu Yang's increasingly cold expression or the talisman appearing in his hand.

While she was still immersed in the imagined pleasure, her entire body suddenly froze, her limbs losing all control and becoming unable to move.

Before she could react, Gu Yang had already quickly pulled away from her, his face full of loathing.

"You... how can you activate a talisman?!!"

Liu Yiyi's coquettishness was entirely replaced by a distorted, ferocious expression as she questioned him in disbelief.

She exerted all her strength to break free from the talisman's restraint, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not break through.

Gu Yang said coldly, "I do not activate talismans."
