His Mischievous Time-Traveler: How To Capture A Celebrity Husband?

Chapter 65: Are you a fool?

"Ngh..." Kyuri winces in pain when Wu Yixing makes a small cut on her hand. No blood comes out. Wu Yixing keeps a straight face. The small cut heals itself in seconds. Is this poison or magic?

She can feel pain though.

"I guess it can't be helped." She chuckles lightly, but her eyes can't hide the fear.

"I will take a layer of skin if it is alright with you?" Since blood cannot be taken, a small piece of flesh should do. "It will hurt."

"No." Yoori can't see more. "Xiao Wei isn't your guinea pig."

"It's fine." Kyuri gives him a nod. "Take it. I also want to see how bad it is."

"Do you have to take her flesh?" Li Jun grabs Wu Yixing's hand when he tries to pull up the sleeve on her arm. "Take hair or nails."

"That won't help." Wu Yixing frowns at him. "I wouldn't do this to Xiao Wei if there was another way."

"If you aren't fine with it, say no." Li Jun glances at the bold witch. "We will find another healer."

"Another healer might report me as a demon. I might be burned alive." She shrugs her shoulder. "It's strange that both of you are calm after seeing this. I trust Wu Yixing. Let him do what's necessary."

Three of them are surprised to hear the sincerity in her words. Each of them has a mixed feeling about this. Li Jun lets go of Wu Yixing's hand. "Don't take more than necessary."

Wu Yixing wonders what his friend thinks him. Why would he take more than necessary? Shaking his head, he takes a slice of the skin from her arm. She bites her lips and makes no noise when he makes the cut. He puts down the layer of flesh with blood on the porcelain plate. The skin regrows on her arm. At the same time, the flesh on the porcelain plate becomes black and melts away in the air, leaving nothing.

"It's useless." She looks disappointed. "I appreciate that you tried."

"I will take some strands of hair." He cuts away some hair before she can say anything. Just like the flesh, the strands of hair melt away in the air. It looks like it will be gone as soon as it is separated from her body.

"Enough!" Li Jun scowls at Wu Yixing before he can make another suggestion. He glares at Kyuri. "We are leaving."

"My apologies." Wu Yixing can see that his friend has reached the limit of his patience. His wife is also going to kick him anytime. Why are they mad at him? "There is only one way left. We will... "

Li Jun grabs her arm and drags her out of the place before Wu Yixing could finish his words.

"Are you a fool?" Li Jun grimaces at me in the carriage. "Treating your body without any care."

Why does he care what I do? I feel angry. "It's my body. I will do what I want."

"You have no will to live." He unsheaths his sword. "Then, I should separate that head from that neck."

He really doesn't feel any love for me. The timekeeper wants to kill me. He wants to kill me. I have had enough. "Go ahead."

The tip of the blade is almost touching my throat. "You are surrendering to me now?"

I stare at the timekeeper who has finally made his presence known. "If you could kill me, I would be dead by now."

The tip of the sword sinks into my skin. "I don't know whether to pity you or admire your extraordinary luck. You turned your body into the time prison. Wasn't it better to die and reborn in a normal body?"

Time prison? I don't remember doing that. "How did I turn my body into time prison? I thought that only the timekeepers could make it."

"Traveler, time crystal is also used to build a time prison." He tells me bitterly, "The extract of the time crystal plant is an important ingredient when time prisons are built. You must have come in contact with it."

I recall the details. "Does it look like purple smoke?"

"So, you did come in contact with it. The time crystal inside your body reacted to it." He puts away the sword. "I should have killed you back then. Because of Wu Yixing, I didn't make a move. It's a hassle to kill you in front of other people."

He wants to kill me quietly. Like Kang Si An never figured out that it was his hand that held the dagger to kill me, he doesn't want Li Jun to know either. That's some difficult work. I feel bad for my timekeeper.

"Will I remain like this forever?" I should try to get more information out of him. He is also using his minutes. It is better if he spends more.

He looks at me with annoyance. "Time prison keeps a traveler in a frozen state until the correct time is reached. Usually, the traveler is in unconscious state inside the time prison. I have not heard of a case where the body of the traveler became the time prison. You are likely to remain like this until your correct time is reached."

He adds, "No antidote can help you. When the time crystal starts ticking again, your time will start moving. Until then, you cannot be killed. I will see you when you correct time is reached. Keep wandering in this sorry state until then."

"Wait..." He is gone before I can ask more questions. Tch! It's barely five minutes.

Li Jun rubs his eyes. "Did I fall asleep?"

"Yes, you did." What can I say? Your alter ego came out and we had a chat. He went away because he couldn't kill me. I can't die until my correct time is reached. I am supposed to live like this for more than a thousand years?

All I wanted was to change my fate. I didn't ask for the near immortal life.
