The Princess and Her Rough-Rider Khan

Chapter 452: 451 How could I bear to escape (second update) Chapter 452: 451 How could I bear to escape (second update) Li Xianyun was certainly aware of the poppy flower.

This flower could be processed into pills for pain relief, but once ingested, one needed to constantly take them; otherwise, one would go mad and become frantic, unable to quit even if they wished to.

Li Xianyun raised her hand and gently caressed Yelu Yan’s slightly stubbled chin, slowly moving down, lightly touching his prominent Adam’s apple, and smiled, “What is this, you sound rather unsatisfied, still thinking of escaping?”

With an infatuated smile, Yelu Yan gazed at her. “Even as a ghost beneath the peony flower, I would be amorous. Why would I ever want to leave? I would rather you drain me completely dry before it would please me.”

The latter part of his statement was very explicit and full of innuendo.

Indeed, men are masters of flirtation; people like Yelu Yan, who had abstained from carnal pleasures for so long, once they become enlightened, their suppressed desires for years rebound with a vengeance, and their cravings for the matters of the bedchamber become more intense than others.

Naturally, they are also more flirtatious.

“Not serious at all.”

Yelu Yan carried on smiling wordlessly, lifting Li Xianyun horizontally and heading towards the main hall for dining.

After the couple was seated, the Chief of the dining room brought in the meal along with the maids.

Yelu Yan gradually noticed something off about Li Xianyun. She was reticent and whenever he spoke to her, Li Xianyun was absent-minded, as though she was worried about something.

Previously, while talking in the inner chamber, Yelu Yan noticed that Li Xianyun would become momentarily distracted, but at the time, he thought it was simply her focus on the needlework.

Li Xianyun was earnest in her tasks, often exhibiting a trance-like, self-forgetting state.
