Chapter 200: Was Bai Chenxiang bullied by Huo Yuhao?
Bai Chenxiang had a nightmare.
In her dream, she witnessed the Min Clan being ruthlessly destroyed by the Spirit Hall army led by the Great Demon King Huo Yuhao. She dreamt that she was captured by this ruthless demon king, taken back to the Spirit Hall, and reduced to his pet. In the dream, Huo Yuhao did whatever he pleased to her, torturing her every night in cruel ways, forcing her to wear shameful clothes, and making her struggle in humiliation and pain.
In the deepest part of her dream, Bai Chenxiang felt an indescribable fear and helplessness. She desperately tried to escape, but found herself unable to move.
Just then, she suddenly woke up and found herself lying in her own bed, her forehead covered in cold sweat. She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Huo Yuhao's deep blue eyes, as he gazed at her with concern.
Bai Chenxiang's heart raced as she recalled the events of the previous night. Last night, Huo Yuhao had been unusually vulnerable due to his intoxication, constantly nestled in her arms. Bai Chenxiang was overwhelmed with maternal love, even feeling an urge to feed Huo Yuhao.
However, Bai Chenxiang felt a strange unease. She looked down and found that she was only wearing Huo Yuhao's coat and had no underwear on.
"Ah!" A scream shattered the stillness of the night. Bai Chenxiang kicked Huo Yuhao away in a panic, then quickly wrapped herself tightly in the blanket. Lying in the blanket, she began to cough violently, feeling extremely weak. She felt as if she had a fever, and her temperature was unusually high.
A blush crept onto Bai Chenxiang's face. She felt both ashamed and angry, unable to understand why she had found herself in such an awkward situation. She tried hard to recall what had happened last night, but her memory was hazy and she couldn't remember anything.
"Huo Yuhao, what did you do to me last night? Why was I naked when I woke up, only wearing your clothes? I feel weak all over and have a fever. Did you do something bad to me while I was asleep...?::"
Bai Chenxiang's eyes widened, brimming with tears. She was both angry and anxious, trying to struggle to get up, but her body felt weak, and she fell back onto the pillow again and again. She supported her forehead with her hand, her cute little brows furrowing in discomfort, the lingering warmth of her fever still present.
"Huo Yuhao, my head hurts so much right now. Can you leave me alone for a while?" Bai Chenxiang turned her back to Huo Yuhao, her voice weak and trembling. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks, wetting the pillow and leaving a damp stain.
At this moment, Bai Chenxiang was convinced that Huo Yuhao had taken advantage of her while she was asleep last night. Although she was prepared to submit to Huo Yuhao, she was still just a naive young girl, and her heart was filled with grievance and helplessness.
Hot tears streamed down Bai Chenxiang's face, soaking the towel beside her pillow. A mix of grievance and anger welled up inside her. Her voice, weak from the fever, was still filled with rage: "Huo Yuhao, I never expected you to treat me like this."
Bai Chenxiang struggled to prop herself up on her elbows, tears streaming down her flushed cheeks. She turned and glared at Huo Yuhao before collapsing back onto her pillow, pulling the blanket tighter around herself as if to shield herself from the harm from the outside world and the pain in her heart.
"Even if I'm prepared to give myself to you, you can't take advantage of me like this!" Bai Chenxiang thought to herself. She felt betrayed, and her trust and reliance on Huo Yuhao became incredibly fragile at this moment.
Bai Chenxiang sobbed and complained, her body trembling uncontrollably under the covers. Her tears fell like broken pearls, soaking the pillow. Her heart was filled with grievance and incomprehension, as if the whole world had wronged her.
If Huo Yuhao were truly the legendary Demon King, Bai Chenxiang would accept it. However, it was only after she fell in love with Huo Yuhao that he bullied her, causing Bai Chenxiang a pang of heartache. This made Bai Chenxiang feel that her love was a joke.
"I took care of you all night yesterday. I carried you to bed, cleaned your wet clothes, and held you all night. I never thought you were this kind of person." Her voice was choked with emotion, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of her heart.
Bai Chenxiang felt increasingly wronged and began to sob loudly. Her cries filled the room; she didn't know what she had done wrong or why she had to face all this.
Seeing Bai Chenxiang's expression, Huo Yuhao immediately realized that the little girl had misunderstood. He quickly asked Bai Chenxiang, "Xiangxiang, what happened last night? You really don't remember?"
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Bai Chenxiang felt even more aggrieved. She punched Huo Yuhao hard through the blanket, her voice trembling with tears and thick nasal tone: "What do I remember? I only remember settling you in last night, then falling asleep. When I woke up, I found my original clothes were gone, and I was lying in your arms wearing your clothes!"
Bai Chenxiang poked half her head out from under the covers, her wet eyes glaring angrily at Huo Yuhao. Her eyes were still misty with tears from her fever: "Who else could have done it but you? Don't try to shirk responsibility!"
After speaking, Bai Chenxiang buried her head under the covers again, curling up and sobbing uncontrollably. Her cries gradually weakened, but remained filled with sorrow and helplessness. Her heart was filled with doubt and unease, unsure how to face this sudden turn of events. She only hoped that it was all just a dream, and that everything would return to normal when she woke up.
Looking at Bai Chenxiang's fragile state, as if she might break at any moment, Huo Yuhao gently pulled the little girl into his arms and softly comforted her, "What happened last night wasn't what you think. Don't worry, let me explain slowly, okay?"
Bai Chenxiang's forehead was burning hot, and her consciousness was somewhat blurred. Despite this, she tried desperately to recall everything that had happened the previous night. However, she only remembered feeling an unbearable heat in her hazy state and instinctively kicking off the blanket. After that, her memory was like smoke blown away by the wind—a complete blank.
"I—I don't remember," Bai Chenxiang's voice trembled with a sob. She turned her head and looked at Huo Yuhao with teary eyes.
Her heart was filled with doubt, unsure if she had truly misunderstood Huo Yuhao. But thinking about the situation she was in when she woke up, she felt incredibly wronged and pouted, asking, "Then why are all my clothes gone, not even my undershirt, and I'm only wearing your coat, lying in your arms?"
Bai Chenxiang sniffed, her head spinning, and her mood growing increasingly irritable. She nudged Huo Yuhao, her voice tinged with urgency, "Explain yourself!"
Bai Chenxiang clutched the blanket tightly with both hands; her breathing was rapid due to the fever.
Huo Yuhao knew that Bai Chenxiang was still delirious with fever. He gently comforted the little girl and said in a soft and deep voice, "Last night, you had a fever in the middle of the night and vomited all over. I had to take off your clothes, wipe your body, and then put my coat on you. I was worried that you would catch a cold, so I put my coat on you to keep you warm."
He continued, "I wanted to wake you, but you had such a high fever, and I was afraid that waking you would make you feel even worse, so I let you continue sleeping. I stayed by your bedside until dawn. I've washed and hung your clothes up to dry; you can wear them when you're better."
Huo Yuhao paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Moreover, you couldn't even take your medicine last night; you were very ill. I could only hold you while you slept, monitoring you to make sure your breathing was steady and your temperature didn't get too high."
Listening to Huo Yuhao's explanation, Bai Chenxiang's feverish mind slowly cleared. She recalled that she had indeed felt someone taking care of her last night, and that warmth and sense of security filled her heart. Thinking of her earlier accusations against Huo Yuhao, she suddenly felt guilty, and her tears flowed even more freely.
"I'm sorry, Huo Yuhao, I misunderstood you. I really thought..." Bai Chenxiang's voice grew softer and softer as she buried her head in the blanket, her sobs coming out intermittently.
"I shouldn't have blamed you without even knowing what happened. I'm so feverish and my mind is all muddled, sob sob—" Bai Chenxiang struggled to reach out from under the covers, gently tugging at Huo Yuhao's sleeve, looking at him with teary eyes: "Please don't be angry with me, okay?"
Bai Chenxiang's lips were chapped from the fever, and her voice was very weak. Keep in mind, this little girl is only twelve years old, yet she already bears the weight of the entire Min clan's life and death on her shoulders.
She had been running a fever all night, her head was foggy, and it was during this most insecure time of her life. She needed someone to lean on, someone who could understand her pain and fear. Now, with Huo Yuhao's gentle and caring attention by her side, it was like a drowning person grabbing onto a piece of wood; she completely relied on Huo Yuhao as her only support.
Huo Yuhao gently patted her back and comforted her, "Don't cry, Xiangxiang. I know you didn't mean it. You're just sick and need to rest. I'll stay here with you until you get better."
Bai Chenxiang clung tightly to Huo Yuhao's clothes, refusing to let go. Her flushed face was pressed against the pillow, her eyes were somewhat glazed, and her voice was tinged with sobs and dependence.
"Yuhao, I feel so bad, my head hurts so much, and I have no strength."
Bai Chenxiang's tears slid down her cheeks, wetting the pillow. Unconsciously, she moved closer to Huo Yuhao, wanting to be near him: "Don't leave me, just stay here with me, okay?"
With each breath, Bai Chenxiang's throat ached terribly, her brows furrowed tightly, and she weakly reached out to grab Huo Yuhao's arm, as if afraid that if she let go, Huo Yuhao would disappear.
Huo Yuhao held Bai Chenxiang tightly in his arms, gently stroking her hair: "It's okay, Xiangxiang, you'll get better. I promise you I'll always stay with you and I won't leave."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Bai Chenxiang's unease subsided somewhat. Her feverish head swelled up slightly, and she gripped Huo Yuhao's arm tighter, her voice weak yet full of dependence: "Yes, I believe you, Yuhao."
Bai Chenxiang moved closer to Huo Yuhao until she could feel his body temperature, then stopped. Tears still clung to the corners of her eyes, and her lips trembled slightly.
"I'm so sleepy right now, my eyelids feel as heavy as lead, but I also feel uneasy and scared," Bai Chenxiang said softly, her voice trembling slightly, as if seeking a sense of security. "Just hold me like this and we'll sleep, okay?"
Bai Chenxiang closed her eyes, a few crystal tears hanging on her long eyelashes. Her weak breaths trembled slightly, her face was pale, and she looked extremely fragile, as if she might disappear into thin air at any moment.
If it were just a common fever or cold, Huo Yuhao could easily cure it. However, this little girl's condition was far from simple.
The little girl's mind was damaged; the sudden pressure and anxiety had eroded her spirit. Coupled with the dampness that entered her body last night, her physical condition had worsened. Huo Yuhao knew that to completely cure the little girl's illness, he had to address her psychological issues first. Only when her inner worries and fears were eliminated could her body gradually recover its health.
As for what the little girl's heartache was, Huo Yuhao knew very well. It was her feelings towards the Min clan.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile bitterly. He never expected that his arrival would cause Bai Chenxiang to fall ill, and by sheer coincidence, he would now have to treat Bai Chenxiang's illness.
On this mission, I unexpectedly found myself with another little guy I'm connected with.
Bai Chenxiang took care of him all night during the first half of the night, and he took care of Bai Chenxiang all night during the second half. Their relationship has become closer without them even realizing it. In addition, Bai Chenxiang and Sister Xiaotao look almost exactly alike, so it's impossible for Huo Yuhao not to have feelings for the little girl. This little one has unknowingly entered his heart.
"Yuhao, I had a dream last night. I dreamt that you led the Spirit Hall's army to wipe out our Min clan. Promise me you'll release the Min clan, okay?" Bai Chenxiang gently rested her head in Huo Yuhao's arms. Her voice trembled, and her swollen eyes were filled with tears, as if they were about to burst at any moment.
She held Huo Yuhao tightly, like a wounded little animal, whimpering softly, seeking comfort and protection. Tears soaked Huo Yuhao's clothes.
Huo Yuhao gently patted her back: "Alright, Xiangxiang, don't cry. I promise you, I will never hurt the Min clan. I will also bring the Min clan into the Spirit Hall."
Bai Chenxiang raised her head, her cute little face covered in tears, her brows furrowed, looking very worried.
"Yuhao, but my grandfather seems to have a lot of opinions about the Spirit Hall. He always says that the Spirit Hall's ambitions are too great and will threaten the survival of our Min clan."
Bai Chenxiang's voice was choked with emotion, but it was filled with more worry about the future of her family.
"But I promise you, I will persuade Grandpa to understand your good intentions. Please don't hurt Grandpa, okay?" Bai Chenxiang's eyes were full of pleading.
Huo Yuhao said softly, "Xiangxiang, I promise I won't hurt your grandfather or anyone in the Min clan. I will prove with my actions that the Spirit Hall is not what you think it is."
"I will personally go to see your grandfather and have a good talk with him, explaining our plans and vision. I believe that as long as we are honest with each other, we can always find common ground and allow the Min Clan and the Spirit Hall to coexist peacefully."
