Lu Wuming's words were taken by Liu Buli as a compliment.
He curved his lips, his smile becoming even more beautiful. Reaching out, he hooked his arm through Lu Wuming's, and squinting, Liu Buli looked into his eyes. He asked in a low voice, "Wuming, if Master is so terrifying, will you be afraid of me?"
Lu Wuming lowered his gaze to Liu Buli's eyes.
He found those eyes truly beautiful. No matter how many times he looked, no matter how many years passed, whenever he saw Liu Buli squinting and smiling at him like this, Lu Wuming felt that everything else ceased to matter.
There was light in Liu Buli's eyes.
That light was more dazzling than anything he had ever seen, like the most exquisite gem in the world. One glance was enough to make him reluctant to look away, and even more reluctant to let anyone else possess such exquisite beauty.
His throat tightened for a moment, and Lu Wuming asked in a low voice, "Master, you said the fox demon in the story was so terrifying, yet how many people who saw the fox demon could resist being moved?"
Liu Buli was amused by his words and couldn't stop laughing.
The seductive charm in his eyes intensified. He relaxed his body completely, leaning into Lu Wuming's embrace. Pressing against his chest, Liu Buli murmured, "Wuming, you actually called your Master a fox demon. That's a very wrong thing to do."
Lu Wuming showed no displeasure at Liu Buli's accusation. He even reached out and pulled the man closer into his arms, settling Liu Buli into a more comfortable position. Only then did he reply, "Master is right, Wuming has indeed done something he shouldn't have. To speak of Master like that, I deserve to be punished. Has Master thought of how to punish Wuming?"
Liu Buli nodded. "Of course, I have."
Lu Wuming's breath hitched.
The light in his eyes grew dimmer.
He had initially thought that given how Liu Buli had cried with a hoarse voice during their previous intimate moments, Liu Buli, with his personality, would at least have been a little sulky. But seeing how things were developing now, Lu Wuming began to question himself:
Had he really misunderstood Master, thinking him too petty?
Or perhaps, even though Master had cried, he had actually enjoyed it. So in similar situations in the future, he wouldn't need to feel guilty, and could freely express his affection to Master, as Master wouldn't be unhappy, right?
With this thought, and looking at Liu Buli's alluring and inviting demeanor, Lu Wuming became even more convinced that his thoughts were the truth.
After all, Master was inviting him now.
And it was broad daylight.
Given Liu Buli's usual aversion to public displays of affection, his invitation at this time could only mean that Liu Buli truly desired it.
Lu Wuming quickly reached his conclusion, his arms tightening around Liu Buli. Nuzzling against his earlobe, he murmured, "Master, Wuming has reflected. Are you being so proactive now because Wuming didn't satisfy you properly a few days ago?"
Liu Buli looked into his eyes and smiled without speaking.
At this moment, Lu Wuming once again affirmed in his heart that his Master was undoubtedly a fox demon reincarnated! Otherwise, if he were just an ordinary human, how could he be so alluring? He exuded an aura of temptation from head to toe, making anyone who looked at him immediately fall into an inescapable daze!
His heart pounded faster and faster. Lu Wuming wasted no more time. He swept Liu Buli into his arms and, with a swift incantation, teleported them to their courtyard.
He had intended to proceed as usual, but upon entering the room, Liu Buli pushed against his chest, signaling for him to put him down.
Lu Wuming was reluctant.
However, it was rare for Master to be so proactive today, and Lu Wuming's heart softened for a moment. He obediently set Liu Buli down.
His feet on the ground, Liu Buli's smile grew even brighter.
Turning to face Lu Wuming, he reached out and pinched his nose. Then, he wrapped his arms around Lu Wuming's neck and kissed his lips, savoring the warm and comfortable sensation of their contact.
After they had been entwined for a moment, he stepped back and said, "Wuming, usually you're the one who takes the initiative, just like last time. You've taken the initiative so many times, and Master feels a little embarrassed. So I've decided that this time, it's my turn to be proactive, and you just need to feel it."
As he spoke, he tried to push Lu Wuming towards the bed.
Lu Wuming resisted slightly, shaking his head forcefully. "There's no need, Master. I take the initiative because I want to. If it's Master, I'm willing for you to take the initiative as many times as you like. So..."
"But this time, you have to listen to me."
Seeing his big dog being disobedient, Liu Buli frowned. His voice became slightly sterner, and Lu Wuming immediately stopped struggling obediently.
Liu Buli was very pleased with this.
He took a chain from his Qiankun bag, threaded it through the headboard, and fastened the ends to Lu Wuming's wrists, binding him securely to the bed.
After finishing this, Liu Buli leaned down and also chained Lu Wuming's feet. Once he was sure that he couldn't easily break free, Liu Buli clapped his hands with satisfaction and stood up.
Lu Wuming assumed he was about to undress him. But he never expected Liu Buli to walk directly towards the door after standing up, leaving without a backward glance, as if with no lingering attachment.
Lu Wuming immediately became anxious. "Master, what are you..."
"Didn't you ask me to punish you? This is the punishment," Liu Buli replied indifferently. "Although I agreed to let you do as you pleased before Shen Muzhi arrived, I cried so miserably, yet you showed no intention of stopping. And even when you sensed Shen Muzhi and the others approaching, you still had no intention of stopping. You only stopped when they arrived and knocked on the door. You've done so many bad things, do you think I'll forgive you easily?"
Lu Wuming was speechless.
He had wondered why Master had been so normal these past two days! So he had been saving all his anger to settle accounts with him later, had he?
His arms, bound by chains, moved slightly, but before he could break free, Liu Buli frowned and admonished, "Don't break the chains. Stay put. You need to reflect properly. I'll only untie you when you've reflected enough and I'm satisfied. If you dare to break free yourself, this punishment will be far from simple."
