Sentimental General Chapter 13

From that day onwards, He Mu Li would often rush back to the smelting courtyard after finishing his official duties in the afternoon. If was a busy day, he and De Xue would go to the smelting courtyard at night to repair the sword.

Because he was inexperienced, De Xue did not immediately let him start repairs on 'Hurricane'. Instead, she taught him the simplest basic skills of smelting weapons first.

She has excellent eyesight and listening skills. By just observing the color of the weapon and listening to the sounds emitted from the weapon when it is hit, she can judge the hardness of the metal and detect damages to the weapon.

During the process of smelting weapons, she only relied on the palms of her hands by holding them over the hot weapons to determine the heat difference. By doing this, she will be able to know whether the strength of the fire had to be raised or lowered. She could determine when to lower the temperature, the right time to hit and how long to hammer the weapon or which part of the blade needed extra strength to be hammered.

Every time when he looked at De Xue's spirited appearance, He Mu Li would be a little distracted. He found that when he was concentrating on smelting weapons, his body would emit a charming light and that brilliant light made his love for her become stronger.

In order not to let the beauty look down on him, he focused on the work of smelting weapons.

As the temperature of the stove was extremely high and in addition, the work of hammering weapons was a laborious task, so not long after they had started on the smelting works, He Mu Li had to go shirtless.

It was the first time he was bare-chested and it was because his clothes were thoroughly wet from his sweat and he felt very uncomfortable. So he just simply took off his upper garment revealing his bare chest and only had his pants on while he hammered the weapon beside the hot stove. When De Xue saw him, she was shocked but did not say anything to stop him.

She knew it was difficult to work near the fire and although she felt shy, she did not raise any objections.

After that, it was usual for He Mu Li to be bare-chested while he worked in the smelting courtyard. Of course, the reason was not only because of the intense heat or the occurrence of heavy sweating while refining weapons. The main reason was that he had caught De Xue secretly staring at him with her green crystal eyes with a blushing face and he was broad-minded about this. He had thought that captivating his kitten with his strong body could also be considered as a very good plan.

However, being broad-minded also had its limitations. When he recalled his kitten had told him about her other craftsmen in the past, his heart was ill-at-ease.

This day in the afternoon, after they had smelted a dagger and they were resting, He Mu Li suddenly asked. "Xiao Xue, in the past, how did you work with your craftsmen while you were in the workplace? Is it the same as we are now?"

De Xue listened and narrowed her eyes. She shook her head and said. "How was that possible?"

"Oh? Was it different? Tell me, I would like to know." After listening to her reply, he felt a little better but he still wanted to know in detail, so he asked her.

"Those craftsmen were all experienced so I don't need to teach them individually. Before they start to work on a weapon, I would tell them the parts that needed repairs and the procedures to do it. Then I would hand over the weapon to them. Halfway through the repairs, I would check again and if there was an error, they would have to correct it. When it was time to do the final stage, I would then enter the workplace to do an examination before acceptance." She explained to him seriously.

He Mu Li nodded. "So the process was like that......then I am relieved."

His words puzzled De Xue and she asked. "What do you mean? What is it that you are worried about?"

"Of course, when I think of Xiao Xue with a group of men, even if it was just working, I will feel uncomfortable in my heart." He Mu Li did not hide his intention to monopolize her.

She did not expect to receive such a straightforward answer from him. De Xue was stunned and then blushing, she said. "Don't think too much! I am very strict when working with my craftsmen. They always behave with propriety and are very polite. When they come to see me, they are all neatly dressed. You......."

You think everyone is like you?! But this sentence was suddenly swallowed back when her eyes rested on his strong bare chest.

"What is wrong with me?" He Mu Li stood up and moved towards her. In his heart, he was thinking that for those craftsmen to be willing to accept instructions from a little girl, De Rou Qing must be behind it. Perhaps those craftsmen were also carefully selected by him.

He Mu Li had reached her and was standing in front of her.

Seeing that He Mu Li was so close to her with his upper torso naked, she could even feel the warmth of his body, De Xue shyly lowered her head. She often snuck secretive glances at his strong body but what can she do since this is the man she likes and at the same time, he is also a very masculine handsome man? Every time she looked at him, her little deer heart would jump fiercely and the more she told herself not to look, the more she wanted to look at him.

She has to admit, he really has a very good body.......

With the man she likes standing so close to her, De Xue's eyes shifted left and right. She was afraid to look directly at He Mu Li's strong chest. She could not help but mutter. "You only know to bully me!"

"I really only bully you." His tone harbored a smile and deliberately pushed her against the wall to prevent her from fleeing.

"You're really bad!" She knew she could not retreat and raised her head to look at him. Her green crystal eyes were very shiny and very spirited with an intoxicating look.

"Xiao Xue......" He called out her name charmingly. Only the two of them were in the smelting courtyard and he had given instructions that no one was allowed to enter without his order. So, it is the right time for bad guys to act.

Hearing his low voice and teasing tone, she stared at him blankly and asked. "What?"

"I like you very much." He Mu Li's powerful hands were rested against the wall, trapping his seductive kitten in his arms.

When De Xue heard, she sucked in her breath and her heartbeat speeded up. Her pretty little face was filled with a blushing glow and her long eyelashes trembled gently. Her green crystal eyes did not even blink and looked directly into his pair of eyes that were burning with red flames, overbearing and with a trace of gentleness.

"I like you too." It seems she was consumed by the flames that were burning fiercely in his eyes and she shyly answered him.

She really likes him. She does not know why she likes such an overbearing man. Obviously, she detests people who control her but this man actually likes to control her more and more, but she just likes it. Whenever she thinks of him, her heart will feel very sweet and very happy. She is even adapting more and more to the unbearable climate here.

Initially, she had refused to come to Haizhou but since she found out that she likes him, she did not want to leave. She wants to stay here and wants to stay by his side. She wants to spend all her time with him until they grow old.

Maybe it is because he makes her feel at ease, feel very reassuring, so she wants to nestle in his arms and let him pamper her and protect her for a lifetime.

Hearing her shy and serious response, He Mu Li smiled. His kitten is really very lovable and his index finger is moving*!

(Index finger is moving refers to the feelings when good food is placed in front of a person and that person has the urge and is ready to enjoy the food or the greed of a person when he sees something delicious.)

His greedy lips fiercely grabbed hers. His hot lips nipped several times on her delicate lips and then he gave her a fierce bite. De Xue responded with a soft cry and opened her mouth slightly. Seizing the opportunity, his hot tongue prodded into her mouth and began to sweep through every part of her mouth. Then he wrapped his tongue around her little tongue to taste her sweetness.

De Xue closed her eyes and she let out several delicate moans. Her little hand rested weakly on his hot naked chest and his thin layer of sweat dampened her palms making her feel she was about to melt under his intense heat.

It was not known when He Mu Li's hard callused hands had slipped under her clothes and his rough fingers were kneading her soft round breasts. Her silky smooth skin made him unable to stop and continuously caressed her. Unable to stand his teasing big hands, she moaned faintly but the sounds were all swallowed into his mouth. His greedy tongue wrapped around her sweet little tongue and he sucked her deeply like sucking sweet honey.

A strong numbness spread throughout her body causing De Xue to stand on her tiptoes. Her delicate body was drained of all her strength and she could only lie softly in his arms allowing him to do what he desired.

Finally, He Mu Li released her lips that were swollen and red. Then his hot lips trailed to her white and delicate neck. De Xue moaned softly and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then she lifted her head with her eyes half closed.

She was confused and looked up at the pillars of the roof, feeling like she was burning with numerous flames.

Originally, his big hands were kneading her soft breast and then suddenly his hand changed to plunder her delicate and sensitive buds. She gave a scream and the slightly rough index finger and thumb were evilly teasing and tempting her pink peaks.

"Li Dage......." De Xue called out his name faintly. She did not know what she wanted and why she called him.

"Xiao Xue......" He responded. His voice was low and his hot breath sprayed on her soft neck where he had planted his wet kisses.

Her breasts were swollen after being kneaded by his hands and the erect sensitive buds were getting itchy. That odd sensation of pleasure and numbness was spreading from her aroused peaks and a seductive moan escaped from her lips.

"Ah! Li Dage!" De Xue sensed a surge of moistness flowed from the depths of her body and she cried out in panic.

"Xiao Xue." Hearing her urgent cry, He Mu Li once again kissed her moist soft, red lips. As his lips lingered in a kiss, he breathed out a heavy sigh. "How can you be so beautiful?"

His tone was different from usual voice, with some eagerness but it was difficult to hide the admiration in his voice. De Xue's heart was moved and a thin layer of red from her ear spread all the way to her white face, her white smooth neck and shoulders until it reached her round, seductive swollen breasts. That gorgeous spring color made him unable to turn away and he stared deeply at her with fierce flames burning in his eyes.

The clothes on her body had long since become loose due to his arrogant and aggressive ravages. Her clothes that had slipped down to her hips could not cover the countless red marks on her body which he had just branded on her.

He Mu Li tried hard to resist his body's violent turbulent responses as his eyes licked with fierce flames and he seriously called out her name. "Xiao Xue......."
