Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 417: Substitute Bride of the Demon King (21)

Could it be that this young woman was really so foolish that she wanted to use this method to make him stop caring about the foolish things she and the Tallis noble family did?

Silas narrowed his eyes. Why did he always feel that something was wrong? It seemed that since she had been spared from death, things had become more and more strange. What on earth did this woman want to do? Did she really think of herself as the Demon Queen of his castle?

When he thought of this, Silas suddenly felt a sarcastic mockery in his heart.

Yue Ran had no idea what the male protagonist was thinking at this moment. She was squatting and carefully picking up the broken pieces of the teacup that had overturned and shattered on the ground, with the tea inside inevitably spilling onto the ground, wetting the floor.

Her fair and clean fingers touched the broken and sharp porcelain shards. There were still scars on the back of her hand from being scratched by the plants in the garden before. They looked particularly unpleasant.

When Silas saw the bleeding wound on her wrist, he felt a little irritated for some unknown reason. He did not understand what the feeling he had was. Perhaps it was because this woman had taken care of him all night, and the wound on her arm was also caused by him, which made him feel a little upset.

"What are you doing here?" he asked. "Instead of treating the bleeding wounds, you want to defile my bedroom with your blood?"

The latter statement was a harsh accusation that was made to hurt her. Yet, Yue Ran remained calm. She was not angry. She slowly stopped cleaning the broken pieces of sharp porcelain and glass on the ground. After a while, she looked up at the man in front of her, her face bright with an innocent smile as she gazed at him happily and innocently.

"Your Majesty, the Demon King, are you... concerned about my injury?" she asked.

Silas paused for a moment because of her words. He frowned and looked up at her. It was clear that he did not expect the young woman to think so, so he sneered and said, "What foolish thoughts are you making up in that head of yours?"

However, this cold sarcasm did not make Yue Ran lose her temper. She simply regarded Silas, who still had a frown on his face, with a smile. The young woman looked as if she had already made up her mind and thus said, "But the Demon King is clearly concerned about me."

At this time, Yue Ran’s eyes were sparkling with joy, and a hint of understanding appeared on her face. She looked genuinely happy. It was because she believed that she could finally grasp the man’s complex inner thoughts.

"I knew that Your Majesty, the Demon King, is a kind person with a cold face but a warm heart," Yue Ran said. "You say those seemingly fierce words just because you want me to go back and tend to my wounds. In truth, Your Majesty is not at all a bad person at heart."

This young woman was indeed annoyingly noisy and long-winded. Silas could not help but frown, feeling extremely impatient in his heart. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

What kind of ridiculous has she conjured in that head of hers? This young woman has only known him for a few days, yet she genuinely believes that the fearsome Demon King, who has killed so many magicians and spilled so much blood on his hands, is a good person? Only a fool who has been sheltered by their family since childhood would think that way.

It is ridiculous. It is absurd.

She is ridiculous. She is absurd.

Silas simply did not want the young woman to dirty his bedroom with her filthy blood. If she had not taken care of him all night, he would have sent her to the underworld with a snap of his fingers with no mercy.

Yue Ran paid no mind to the murderous expression on Silas’s face. She wore a sweet smile on her face and looked like she was in a good mood. She even winked playfully at him.

"Why is Your Majesty, the Demon King, silent?" Yue Ran blinked. "Is it because I hit the nail on the head, making you too embarrassed to refute me?"

Silas’s palms slowly tightened, and his hands clenched into fists, feeling the urge to throw a punch. He was annoyed.

"If you dare to say this nonsense again, I will slap you to death right now," he said threateningly.

Yue Ran was startled by his words, and her eyes instantly filled with grievance. Under the threat of the "evil force," she honestly shut up. But she quickly reacted, and her starry eyes shifted to look at the figure in front of her, her expression revealing a trace of surprise and amusement.

In her point of view, she must have accurately guessed the thoughts of the Demon King, so he must be angry and embarrassed because his true intentions were revealed.

The smile in her eyes grew even more intense with each passing second.

"Okay, okay; I will not say anything if you are unhappy," Yue Ran said cheerfully. "But it is not good for you to say one thing and mean another. If you want to care about others next time, you might as well be gentler to avoid being misunderstood by others."

The young woman then showed Silas a sincere smile, one that radiated warmth. Her eyes sparkled with clarity, bright like the morning sun, devoid of any trace of fear or hesitation. She regarded him gently and quietly, akin to a perfectly tranquil sea that seemed to be able to incorporate and embrace all things, both calm and chaotic alike.

Silas was gazed at by such gentle and loving eyes that were free from all the filth in the world.
