A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return

Chapter 754: How Could She Give Him Up

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li Lei looked at the whip and then at her.

In the spacious silver-white hall, her petite body looked so frail as if she could be easily knocked down by the wind. It seemed that even if he gently waved the whip, she could be knocked down just by its sound.

Her face turned pale and she unconsciously started to bite her lip.

Her body slightly shook, but she continued to stand in front of him. It was obvious that she was extremely afraid, but she did not cower in fear.

Li Lei raised the whip.

Her face became paler and she shut her eyes. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, she did not experience the pain she expected. A little fearfully, she opened her eyes and saw that he was still holding the whip in the same position. The cold, silver-white light was sprinkled on his face which was as handsome as a sculpture. There was silence.

“What are you waiting for?” She asked softly.

Li Lei walked towards her step by step. Looking at the whip in the man’s hand, she subconsciously retreated.

Until her back fell against the icy cold wall. There was no other way out.

Li Lei stopped half a step away from her and looked down at the pale and delicate girl. She was shaking in her dark matte black leather outfit. It was as if she were restrained by endless darkness, enslaved and unable to breathe, her slightly enlarged eyes filled with fear.

He really didn’t know what would happen if the whip really fell on her.

Perhaps she would no longer be herself and he would no longer be himself. They might not be able to return to the past anymore.

This kind of scary and dangerous game could easily destroy one’s psyche. Li Lei was afraid that he might lose control and become a demon like Pei Ziheng. That year, even though Pei Ziheng loved her so deeply, it was destroyed by this terrifying game. He was really not confident that she could still love him if he inflicted such pain on her.

He was unwilling to take the risk.

Li Lei placed the whip handle in Xia Ling’s hands. “There’s no rule that states the slave has to be a woman, right? Let me be your slave, Xiao Ling. With me here, you’ll always be free.”

She did not expect him to do this and looked at him in shock for a long time before reacting.

Tears fell without warning. In this world, there was no man who had done this for her before; even Pei Ziheng never did this. However, Li Lei, who was such an arrogant man, was willing to let go of his pride for her... To be exact, he was willing to be a lowly slave.

“Do you understand what this means?” Her voice was very soft and hoarse. “Li Lei, being a slave is not as simple as you think it is. I could whip you, insult you, make you kneel, order you to crawl like an animal or even make you lick my feet...”

Suddenly, she stopped to take a breath.

“Like this?” In front of her, the man knelt down. Wearing skimpy clothes that barely covered his body, he lowered his head and devotedly kissed her toes with his lips.

As she was wearing the slave costume, she did not wear any shoes. A current of numbness ran up her toes and she almost couldn’t bear it.

“Stop... Stop it...” She weakly said.

Li Lei stopped, but he continued kneeled as he looked up at her. “I can do it very well, master. I belong to you.” Unconsciously, he changed the way he addressed her, but he did not feel the slightest humiliation or discomfort. To him, this was not embarrassing. It was his responsibility as a man to protect his beloved woman.

If she really collapsed because she couldn’t stand this sort of game, this would be the humiliation of his life.

Thus, he was willing to take on the dangerous role.

Startled, Xia Ling looked at him as if this was the first time she saw him. She didn’t know what she was feeling. Even though she thought about a thousand and one outcomes to mentally prepare herself such as her going crazy, collapsing, screaming, crying to quit...

She never expected that she would become the “master.”

And the man who was stronger than her by ten thousand times was at her feet and willing to become her slave.

She held the whip in her hand and was at a loss for words.

“What’s wrong, master?” Li Lei continued to look up at her and spoke gently. “You don’t need to hesitate or be afraid. I will cooperate with all your instructions. We still have to save Shaohui, we don’t have time to waste. Let’s get started.”

Only then did she came back to reality.

Yes, they still had to save Shaohui.

She was unsure how much time she needed to enter the role if she were a slave. She was even unsure if she would completely collapse. As for Li Lei? At least on the surface, he looked like he was adapting well and his emotions were more stable than hers. If he were the slave, their training would progress much faster.

She said, “Li Lei, I’m sorry.”

Li Lei smiled at her. “I said that I am yours.” He gazed at her like a devout follower admiring his goddess. To him, she was everything.

Xia Ling closed her eyes and took a deep breath to adjust her state of mind.

When she opened her eyes, she was ready to play her role. “The first thing I want to teach you is—”

She raised the whip and hit him mercilessly. “When you’re speaking to your master, you have to be more polite.”

In the silver-white, cold and empty hall, she was high up in the air like a queen.

This training required a day and a night. Li Lei adapted very well, and after overcoming a few psychological roadblocks, she slowly mastered the skill of being a master.

She ordered to Li Lei get up and exited the training mode.

“Take a break.” She said, “We’re almost ready now and can apply for a black card membership for Blissful Paradise.”

Li Lei nodded and stretched his aching body after kneeling for a long time. His body was still as perfect as before the training. His healthy wheat-colored skin only had a few traces of bruising that would soon disappear. After entering Blissful Paradise, no one would notice his injuries.

This was not because Xia Ling’s technique was perfect.

Her strength and skills were still a little lacking.

However, his skin was thick, unlike her delicate skin which virtually offset many injuries.

Xia Ling looked at him remorsefully. “I’m sorry that you suffered from this...”

“There’s nothing you have to be sorry about.” He interrupted her and smiled. “Xiao Ling, I love you. I’ve already been yours a long time ago. This time, it’s just an act which was clarified.”

She did not know if he were comforting her or if he actually thought this way.

She only sniffed and had a hunch that perhaps she could never leave Li Lei anymore in this life.

“I’ve already been yours a long time ago.”

This sentence was like a spell.

Since he was hers, it was like he was a part of her life or part of her body or another soul of hers or her shadow... How could she give him up?
