The Devil Doctor's Spicy Love
Chapter 73: Mirror oh mirror, who is the most handsome devil of all?

Chapter 73: Mirror oh mirror, who is the most handsome devil of all?

Mingshen’s brows piqued with a bewitching appeal. "Spicy, you could have just told me if you wished to squeeze our bodies together in a comforting and passionate embrace. But you feigning to fall on top of me like this is enchanting on a whole different level~"

She threw daggers at him, cursing her luck once again. "Stop spouting nonsense! As if I was feigning anything. Something caught my ankle..."

She looked back and turned speechless. A rough, bloodied hand mutilated at its wrist had clasped on to Jia’s ankle with its fingers. It was a classic, spooky act of terrifying a visitor by secretly grabbing their leg and scaring the living daylights out of them.

"..."

Ah come on! When did that hand appear?

She swayed her foot up and down and left and right to shake the ghoulish hand away. But those stubborn fingers tapped on her skin deeper as if mocking her efforts. The doll with her left eye gouged out also started eerily laughing at Jia’s vain attempts to free herself.

"Shall I help you, dear?"

The joy mixed in his voice only irked her further and she grabbed hold of the floor, wanting to get off him. But the ghostly hand slightly pushed her leg, making her fall on Mingshen once again. Her hands were on either side of his head, her chest protruding to leave only a narrow gap between their contact.

"With your chest so up and close like this, it reminds of the wonderful time I dug in it and touched your heart," he smirked. "Saved it too~"

She narrowed her eyes. "Your point being?"

"I was just reliving the nostalgia."

Mingshen tilted his head, feeling the brush of her hair locks on his cheek and neck. "At this point, shouldn’t you just loosen up and dive straight into my chest? You can hide in its protection as long as you want~"

"If you don’t stop talking, then the next thing hiding in this room will be your dead body."

"Spicy, tell the truth. Don’t you feel your heart racing now that you have landed on my handsome body? I must say we are entangled in quite a questionable position."

As her attention strayed away from him trying to shake off that hand, Mingshen sneakily raised his arm and switched on the selfie mode in his phone. He made a victory sign with his fingers and with a cunning grin, clicked a picture of them together.

Jia frowned and sensed a foreboding feeling tickling her danger radar. She jerked her head back, but Mingshen was back in his original position. There were no signs of him doing anything suspicious.

She then gave him a dry look and said, "You are the last man I want to be in a questionable position with. Don’t hold hopes."

Mingshen narrowed his eyes and gradually lifted his face, his sharp and handsome jaw almost touching hers as he moved closer to her. His index finger tugged the button of her shirt right at her chest. A moment of uncertainty rose.

With a husky voice, his breath tickled her chin. "I was just hoping if I could get a sneak poke in your chest with my shiny scalpel."

Not a sneak peek but a sneak poke.

"Don’t test my patience or else be ready to cough out more alimony money," she sneered, shaking his hand away.

He smiled back. "Do you wish to get legally married to me~?"

"Not in an infinite amount of years."

"Then your eligibility of receiving alimony from me becomes a teensy tiny problem, hehe."

"Hehe. I don’t care," Jia smirked, "You opened that door yourself so I get alimony irrespective of my marriage with you."

His brow slightly twitched. "How about I seduce you into forgetting that alimony?"

"Sure why not."

His face brightened.

"But right now, you are the least attractive man to me. So polish your negligible seduction skills first. You lack quite heavily," she mocked.

"..."

Eventually, the creepy hand fell off and as if completing its mission, the mutilated hand vanished into the realm of darkness.

"Finally!"

Jia got off and leaned against the bed, slightly breathless. She heard Mingshen clicking his tongue, most probably to complain that the moment ended too soon. He stood on his feet, extending his hand to help her out. Giving him a sardonic smile, she hopped back on her feet without his help. "Was that a way of acting chivalrous?"

He sheepishly grinned. "Chivalry and Yang Mingshen don’t fit in the same sentence."

"Glad to know that you are self-aware at times. Let’s go back to searching for the exit."

Mingshen laid back on the bed, stretching his arms. "Yes, good luck, Spicy. Let me know when you find it."

She pulled his arm and dragged him out of the bed. "Let’s go back to searching for the exit TOGETHER."

Giving him no chance to refute, Jia already arrived on the side of the wall where Bojing had accidentally slipped into. Mingshen lazily walked near the cupboard, opening the double wooden doors with a ugly and ghostly puppet springing out at him. "If you will excuse me, can I check if there is any hidden exit at the back?"

Mingshen bent inside and knocked on the wooden planks of the opposite side of the cupboard towards the wall. But there wasn’t any hint of any hidden passage. It looked solid and impenetrable. Sighing, he stepped out and patted the bloody puppet which had sprung on him. "Feel free to go back inside your nest. Not very thrilling but I guess you like the appeal."

"Move your hands more than your mouth," Jia’s salty voice reprimanded him.

"I like it when you make sexually blasphemous statements~" he laughed heartily but her gaze only darkened.

He arched his brow. "Finding the exit in silence is so boring. Let’s chat with these cursed objects here~"

I wish I could stuff you in one of these cursed objects!

Some time passed since they started searching every corner of the room to find the exit but no hidden pathways came to their view. She tapped the floor again in case she missed any hollow spot. Mingshen hovered around the dressing table area, looking at the dusty objects placed on the table. He yawned and rested his palm on the wall at the mirror’s side when he felt something.

Oh?

He slid his hand closer and the coldness of a very faint breeze lightly brushed past his fingers. It almost felt like an illusion, but a narrow flicker of air did seem to pass from behind the mirror.

"Seems like the only key to unlock the exit is through my beauty~"

"I don’t have time for another round of your narcissism," she scowled.

"Just watch."

Mingshen smirked as he stood in front of the mirror and placed his hand on its wooden edge. His handsome figure’s reflection appeared in it, and nodded his head in appreciation. "Mirror oh mirror, who is the most handsome devil on earth~?"

The mirror slightly moved with his pressure and a streak of soft light entered the trapped room. He smirked back at Jia with pride. But that smirk ended there as the mirror-come-door didn’t open any further. It surely was the exit but didn’t budge any further open no matter how much force Mingshen exerted.

Jia smiled. "Seems like your beauty wasn’t the key to unlock this exit, after all."
