The Villain Has A Yuri Halo [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 53.2

In an instant, Mu Linglong had turned the tables, adopting a defiant expression that dared Li Ju: If you’re so tough, then kill me or beat me to death!

Her eyes curved into a mocking smile as she declared, “Li Ju, if you can’t bring yourself to hurt me, then you’ll have to listen to me.”

Li Ju’s expression hardened into a cold, solemn mask. Her fingers tightened almost imperceptibly around Mu Linglong’s chin, the pressure nearly crushing her delicate jaw.

Li Ju felt Mu Linglong’s delicate skin, so tender that even a slight pressure left a mark. This proved how pampered Mu Linglong had been since childhood. Someone like her couldn’t endure the slightest hardship. Forget killing her—even a slap would send her into uncontrollable sobs.

“Why are you staring at me? Hit me already.”
Li Ju, furious, laughed mockingly. “Mu Linglong, what kind of depravity is this? Are you a masochist?”

Mu Linglong feigned surprise. “Yes, yes! Please, hurry and hit me!”

Li Ju shoved her away. The weakened Mu Linglong collapsed onto the bed, gazing up at Li Ju with innocent, doll-like eyes. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Li Ju looked down at her from above. How could she not see Mu Linglong’s declaration of war?

“I have no interest in hitting you, but making you cry would be quite simple.”

Mu Linglong turned sideways, her snow-white skin glowing seductively in the candlelight. “What?”

The lingering fragrance made Mu Linglong drowsy. Maintaining their intense conversation had already pushed her to her limits. Now utterly exhausted, her bright, spirited eyes were lazily half-closed.

Suddenly, Li Ju knelt on the bed and tore open the hem of Mu Linglong’s skirt. The candle-burned tear could never be repaired.

A long tear ripped through the hem of Mu Linglong’s skirt. The sound made her eyes widen as she saw Li Ju’s hand slide up her calf. “What… what are you doing?!” she demanded, her voice trembling with humiliation and fury.

“Mu Linglong, did you really think I wouldn’t dare do anything?” Li Ju asked, her voice soft but menA’Cing. “They’ve already locked me up here. How could I possibly still be a good person?”

Li Ju’s hand continued its slow caress, gliding up Mu Linglong’s leg until it reached her knee. She pressed her palm against the joint, applying gentle pressure.

Her melodious voice rang out, sending a shiver down Mu Linglong’s spine. “Cry,” she said. “If you don’t cry, I’ll move higher.”

Mu Linglong glared at Li Ju, her voice catching in her throat. “You… you might as well kill me!”

“If I kill you, who will give me the Merman Tears?” Li Ju countered. “Mu Linglong, you have ten seconds. If no tears appear, I’ll move higher. Every ten seconds without tears, my hand will keep climbing.”

Li Ju winked, her long hair sliding off her shoulder to drape across Mu Linglong’s body. The room, once filled with the scent of burning candles, now reeked solely of Li Ju’s presence.

“Cry.”
Mu Linglong watched Li Ju’s arm move, feeling the warmth of her fingers circling on her knee. Her cheeks flushed crimson, and she glared at Li Ju with an intensity that could kill.

Ten seconds vanished in an instant, and another ten began.

Li Ju’s fingers had moved beyond Mu Linglong’s knee, now trA’Cing the smoother skin of her thigh.

Leaning closer, Li Ju whispered, her lips brushing Mu Linglong’s earlobe, “Whether you cry or not is your choice.”

Would Mu Linglong cry?

Absolutely not.

Her body trembled violently, her cheeks burning hot enough to smoke. But Mu Linglong stubbornly glared at Li Ju, her voice hoarse as she retorted, “So what if I don’t cry? Are you just going to grope me all over?”

Li Ju immediately snapped back, “What are you implying?”

Mu Linglong spoke slowly, each word deliberate: “I’m saying you don’t dare.”

Li Ju’s jaw tightened as she scrutinized Mu Linglong, then moved her fingers.

Now, more than ever, Mu Linglong couldn’t back down. If Li Ju truly dared, then bring it on.

But Li Ju stopped, her gaze complex and unfathomable. She pinched Mu Linglong’s thigh hard and hissed, “Mu Linglong, you’re ruthless!”

Mu Linglong chuckled, her voice dripping with mockery. “Li Ju, if you can’t do it, you can’t do it. Calling me ruthless is just sour grapes. Go on, keep touching me. Keep going.”

Li Ju’s face darkened, her eyes narrowing as she glared at Mu Linglong’s smug expression.

But her smugness didn’t last long.

Li Ju seized Mu Linglong’s lips, deepening the kiss with brutal force, ignoring her struggles.

Their tangled breaths made Mu Linglong feel like her body had become Li Ju’s possession, hers to manipulate at will.

When the kiss finally broke, Mu Linglong’s lips were flushed and swollen.

Li Ju said coldly, “I have all the time in the world to play with you. If you won’t cry today, you’ll cry tomorrow.”

With that, she turned and left, the slam of the door snapping Mu Linglong back to reality.

Gasping for breath, Mu Linglong cursed, “Li Ju, you bastard!”

Li Ju merely raised an indifferent eyebrow. Let her curse, she thought. We’ve already kissed anyway.

Mu Linglong pounded the bed, venting her frustration before calming down.

A faint smile flickered in her beautiful eyes as she struggled to sit up.

Li Ju, Li Ju… you’re nothing special after all.

You want the gemstone? My answer remains the same.

If I’m not satisfied, you’ll get neither the gem nor your life!

If you have the guts, kill me. If not, shut up and take your scolding like a good girl.

Mu Linglong gazed quietly at the flickering candlelight, a sudden smile curving her lips.

She knew perfectly well why Li Ju was scheming and refusing to leave early.

It’s all for Li Ju herself, isn’t it?

She couldn’t bear to leave just like that. She wanted to see what Li Ju was planning.

Will Li Ju resort to any means necessary for the gem, or will she submit to my guidance and be slowly tamed?

Mu Linglong was actually quite pleased with the current situation. She believed Li Ju could still be saved.

Instead of making the sensible choice to leave, Li Ju had chosen to double down on her reckless path.

Mu Linglong had always resisted humans, but she was determined to try, just this once.

Because Li Ju was the only human who didn’t trigger her instinctive aversion.

The candlelight bathed the room in a gentle glow. Growing drowsy, Mu Linglong curled up and drifted into sleep.

When she awoke, she found herself cradled in Li Ju’s arms. Her eyes fluttered open, and she gazed dazedly at the beautiful woman with a smile playing on her lips.

“Awake?”

“Where… where am I?”

Li Ju set Mu Linglong down on the floor. The cool tiles beneath her bare feet made her frown. She was too delicate even for this minor discomfort.

Seeing her reaction, Li Ju pointed to the bathtub and said flatly, “Bathe.”

Mu Linglong’s head still felt groggy, and she tilted her head sluggishly.

Her long, raven-black hair cascaded to her waist, and the tattered hem of her long dress revealed her slender, pale calves. The flawless face still held traces of sleepiness, her adorable expression making Li Ju’s eyes light up with amusement. She pinched Mu Linglong’s cheek playfully.

If she’s too delicate to even stand on the floor, I might as well carry her.

Li Ju scooped Mu Linglong up again, cradling her in her arms as she walked. “You were right earlier,” she said. “I should have explored every inch of you. Even if I don’t get the Merman Tears, I won’t let you say no. It’s perfect timing—you need a bath anyway. Mu Linglong, I always keep my promises.”

Mu Linglong, though still drowsy, was now wide awake with terror. She never imagined Li Ju would return, and this time, she seemed serious, not just playing games.

“Y-you… get out!”

Mu Linglong’s voice was soft and lacked any real threat, making her seethe with frustration at her own helplessness. But then she remembered: this was a bathroom, filled with water. Li Ju couldn’t possibly light candles here!

Just endure it, she thought. Once my strength returns, tonight will be Li Ju’s end!

As if reading Mu Linglong’s thoughts, Li Ju glanced at the nearby candles and smirked. “Miss Mu, in the human world, there’s a thing called a lampshade.”

“Oh, heavens!”
Mu Linglong buried her face in Li Ju’s shoulder, her will to live draining away. But Li Ju wasn’t done tormenting her. She gazed at the meticulously prepared bathtub and teased, “It’s so big, you must like it, right?”

With a splash, Li Ju plunged Mu Linglong into the water. Her white dress soaked through instantly, and the spray landed on Li Ju, ruining her own impeccable appearance.

Mu Linglong frantically surfaced, gripping the edge of the tub to steady herself. Her face, like a lotus emerging from the water, only deepened the malicious smile on Li Ju’s lips. Li Ju switched off the bathroom lights, leaving only the flickering candlelight to illuminate the room.

“Earlier, Miss Mu said something about making me beg you.”

“Then, may I ask to touch Miss Mu’s mermaid tail?”

Li Ju sat on the edge of the tub, her hand reaching into the water to touch Mu Linglong’s back. Her tender gaze was bewitching, and her voice held genuine sincerity as she pleaded with Mu Linglong.

Mu Linglong silently sank her head into the bathwater, letting her body submerge. She felt herself losing ground against Li Ju’s relentless advances.

Mother, help me!

But Mu Linglong had already fought halfway down this path of resistance. She couldn’t possibly surrender now.

Suddenly, the water churned as Mu Linglong yanked Li Ju into the tub.

This bathtub is huge. You might as well join me.

“Mu Linglong!”

“Eyy, I’m right here. Weren’t you going to touch my mermaid tail? Come on, come on.”

The candle within its glass shade burned selflessly, but it wasn’t alone. The lingering fragrance of the bath accompanied it.

The night stretched on, unaware that Qin Peipei was waiting outside the door, her legs numb from standing.

She leaned weakly against the wall, groaning in frustration. “Sis, where are you? You’re not answering your phone, and you’re not at the Black Market either. Don’t make me climb over the wall to get into your house!”

She stubbornly dialed again, but Li Ju still didn’t answer.

“Li Ju, where the hell are you?!” she cried out in despair.

Li Ju, you infuriating woman!
