Chapter 004: I Am Li Guo, Who Are You?
The sharp and piercing sensation jolted Li Guo awake from his dream, but when he opened his eyes, the scene before him was unforgettable.
A young girl, a slender sword shimmering with a blue glow, a flowing half-drawn veil skirt, a pair of bright eyes, a set of white teeth, a delicate cloud-like hairstyle, and a charming demeanor with a touch of anger, as if from a dream.
After staring at her for a moment, Li Guo felt a shiver in his heart and unconsciously uttered four words.
"Mercy, female warrior..."
The girl who suddenly appeared in the room raised her finger, and although the sword was not physically in her hand, it moved toward Li Guo's neck by several centimeters as if controlled by a remote control. Although it didn't touch his flesh, the substantial sword aura on it made it difficult for Li Guo to breathe.
"Today, I won't spare you. Perverted scum, your crimes deserve death. However, do not think there are no nameless ghosts under the sword of Mo Chou. State your name, and I will spare you from dismemberment," the girl's expression was filled with murderous intent, as if she had already equated Li Guo with a dead person.
Li Guo's mouth hung open. What was happening in front of him was too supernatural. Where did this girl come from? And what was that sword on his neck? Moreover, what did she mean by "perverted scum"? Although Li Guo liked Xiaoxin very much, he had never thought of himself as a weird uncle.
In his opinion, only women with small waists and chests like Xiaoxin's mother could be called women.
How did this girl in white know that he, Li Guo, was a weird uncle?
"Perverted scum, if you don't state your name by the count of three, don't blame Mo Chou for not leaving your whole body intact." The girl split her hands, and the sword in front of Li Guo instantly multiplied into three, each aimed at a vital point.
Li Guo took a few deep breaths, not daring to move at all. He stared fixedly at the nervous girl. "First, I'm not a perverted scum. I'm her godfather. Second, how did you enter my room? Third, do you know that killing is against the law?"
"Is that true?" The girl looked at Li Guo with doubt, then merged the swords back into one.
Just at this moment, Xiaoxin suddenly turned over and hugged Li Guo's arm, smacking her lips in a dreamy voice, "Daddy..."
"You see..." Li Guo pointed at Xiaoxin. "Do you see?"
The girl carefully observed between Xiaoxin and Li Guo for a while, then nodded and pointed her left hand at the long sword. "Return to the sheath!"
The long sword obediently, as if hearing the clanging of a food bowl, plunged back into the wooden box behind the girl.
After the crisis was over, Li Guo finally had a clear look at this girl who had started with threats and attacks. And after seeing her clearly, he was completely stunned.
How beautiful she was! Li Guo couldn't find words to describe it. The moonlight from outside shone through the reinforced glass window onto the girl, making her as beautiful as the night pearl on an emperor's head. Her nose, eyebrows, eyes, and mouth were all perfect. It was a kind of beauty that Li Guo couldn't describe.
"It's a misunderstanding. I apologize for bothering you. Qing Shan doesn't change, and green water flows long. If we have fate, we'll meet again. Consider Mo Chou owing you a favor." The girl apologized with a soft and righteous voice.
Then, she pointed outside the window. "Wave goodbye, the horses neigh in the vast expanse. Draw your sword!"
The sword flew out with a muffled sound, while the girl remained behind.
The sword flew a long distance in the air, but suddenly realized that the person standing on it had disappeared. It swiftly turned around and flew back through the opening it had come from, once again coming to a stable stop next to the girl, who had fallen to the ground and couldn't get up.
(Note: The names "Mo Chou" and "Li Guo" used in this translation are romanized versions of the original Chinese names and may not reflect the actual meaning or cultural nuances behind them.)
"This thing is probably bulletproof. Which company made it?" Li Guo, wearing pajamas, jumped out of bed and hastily threw the nervy little girl onto the bed, while checking the extent of the window's damage. There was a smooth rectangular cut below the window, clearly made by that sword. However, the spot where the little girl had collided had no sign of any damage.
After tossing the little girl onto the bed, Li Guo started inspecting the room. He realized that all the doors and windows were locked from the inside, making it nearly impossible to find out the only truth even for Conan.
At this moment, the little girl, Xiao Luoli, woke up slowly. When she saw Li Guo hopping around like a monkey and the white-clothed woman lying beside her, she suddenly burst into tears.
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
"Sweetie, why are you crying?" Li Guo, upon hearing Xiao Luoli crying, disregarded inspecting the room and immediately hopped over to her, sitting on the white-clothed girl's buttocks. "Good, uncle has already killed the bad guy."
"You jerk..." Xiao Luoli continued to cry and protest, "Not a single one of you men is good."
Li Guo was greatly embarrassed, unable to pay attention to the buzzing sword on the floor, and he twisted Xiao Luoli's ear, scolding her, "Who taught you all this nonsense?"
"Mama..." Xiao Luoli's crying and fussing caused a mix of annoyance and confusion for Li Guo, but he had no solution.
To make matters worse, the girl beneath Li Guo suddenly woke up. Feeling someone pressing on her, with a throbbing headache and no strength left, she cursed loudly while lying on the bed, "You damn pervert, daring to poison me!"
Li Guo's mind went blank with all the commotion, and he was completely lost as to whom he should explain to.
"Ten steps to kill a person, a thousand miles without leaving a trace. Draw!" A roar erupted from the mouth of the little girl beneath Li Guo.
Things took a turn for the worse. With that roar, the sword on the ground suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a gust of wind swept through the room. Anything that could be destroyed turned into ashes. In an instinctive reaction, Li Guo pushed Xiao Xin down onto the bed, but immediately he felt as if he was being sliced by tiny blades, the pain so intense that he couldn't even shout.
"Sheathe!" Just when Li Guo thought he was about to bid farewell to the mortal world, the white-clothed little girl suddenly retracted her power. She began speaking on her own, "It wasn't this pervert who poisoned you, but Mo Chou collided into you on her own. What kind of restriction is this? You don't know?"
Li Guo lay on the bed, vaguely sensing the dampness on his back, and the pain had made him numb. He wanted to reach out and touch the painful area on his back, but his hand stretched out in agony. Now he truly understood that he had encountered something beyond scientific explanation. At this point, being a hero was a dead end—either stay calm or play dead. So Li Guo decisively pretended to be dead.
During this time, Xiao Luoli crawled out from under Li Guo with great effort, and upon seeing Li Guo's clothes stained with blood, she couldn't hold back her tears. She wailed loudly, continuously pushing and shoving him with her small hands. "Daddy... Don't die..."
"You're a bad person!" After crying for a while, Xiao Luoli's brows furrowed, her eyes turned cold, and she took out a small pistol from under the pillow. Skillfully disengaging the safety, without hesitation, she fired three shots at the white-clothed little girl, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"
However, this time the white-clothed girl was prepared. Seeing Xiao Luoli shooting at her, she simply slid her finger, and the sword turned into a blur, blocking the bullets in front of her. The defensive handgun only made three crisp sounds when it hit the sword, and it didn't even leave a single white mark.
"What a great hidden weapon!" The little girl gently brushed off the three yellow-orange bullets from the sword, sincerely admiring them.
Although Li Guo was in pain, when he heard her words, he inexplicably chuckled. As for Xiao Luoli, upon hearing Li Guo's laughter, she sniffled and patted his head with her hand, "Stinky jerk... scaring Xinxin again."
"It... It wasn't this... perverted little hero scaring you. The sword energy has entered your body, indeed rendering you unable to move." The white-clothed little girl bit her lip, as if she had made some significant decision. "Mo Chou will bear the consequences for you alone!"
The white-clothed girl knelt beside Li Guo and used her fingers to turn the sword into a handle, slicing open all of Li Guo's clothes behind him. His back was covered in small wounds oozing blood, and the white-clothed girl tossed her hair aside and sucked on Li Guo's wounds.
Don't think that this sucking was pleasurable. In fact, Li Guo was on the verge of passing out from the excruciating pain. It felt as if something was stuck in his throat, preventing him from shouting or even swallowing saliva.
There were at least twenty long wounds on his back, and every time the girl sucked on the wounds, she forcefully opened them with her tongue. The pain was so unbearable that just thinking about it made his hair stand on end, not to mention that Li Guo was currently experiencing it firsthand.
"Oh my god..." Li Guo's cry for help had a sobbing tone. He thought bone scraping for healing was complete nonsense. He didn't want to die but also couldn't find relief. He was trapped in a state of being unable to seek death nor survive.
While Li Guo was wailing, Xiao Xin, with her watery eyes, stared intently at the white-clothed girl's every move, afraid that she would do something else to harm Li Guo.
Well, Li Guo had often fantasized about drug healing scenes in movies and TV shows, and whenever he heard the line "I'll suck it out for you," a lewd smile would appear on his face as he maliciously imagined how pleasurable it would be for the male protagonist to be sucked by the female lead.
The cycle of heaven, the retribution of karma. After countless times of mocking and indulging in fantasies, it was finally Li Guo who experienced it firsthand. But this feeling, just like the appearance of the white-clothed girl, couldn't be described at all. Li Guo was in so much pain that he couldn't even roll over, and tears were swirling in his eyes.
However, he mustered up the strength and weakly shouted to Xiao Xin, "Don't... be good... go to sleep..."
Who knew how much time had passed, but Li Guo became as weak as if he had given birth to triplets when the white-clothed girl finally wiped her mouth with her snowy white clothes and stopped the inhumane sucking.
"Gold poison has entered your body, and the tendons and meridians of your limbs and bones have all been damaged. Mo Chou will do as she promised—she will stay by your side until you're well again. Only when you have recovered will Mo Chou depart for Chang'an," the white-clothed girl, her mouth stained with Li Guo's blood, blushed, her eyes filled with guilt.
Although the pain persisted, after the intense sucking by the white-clothed girl, the numbness on Li Guo's body lessened somewhat. However, his energy was completely drained.
The room was in a mess, with Xiao Luoli in her pajamas and the white-robed girl with a sword at her waist and a small flute sitting on either side of Li Guo, who lay on the bed like a dead person, their wide eyes staring at each other.
Previously filled with screams resembling a pig being slaughtered, the room fell silent after the screams ceased, leaving only the solitary intact air conditioner humming softly.
After regaining a bit of strength, Li Guo reached out and pinched Xiao Xin's cheek. "Be good, I'm fine now. Children shouldn't stay up so late."
His voice was weak, and tears streamed down Xiao Luoli's face. The way she looked at Mo Chou, the female knight, surpassed the gaze of a four or five-year-old child.
"I have three more questions, and you must answer them," Li Guo struggled to free one hand and gestured with three fingers towards the white-clothed girl. "Who are you exactly? What are you? How did you come to my room?"
