("Xiao Liu got more curious “Seen me what?” Xiao Liu shook Shi Qi’s arm   coquettishly and wheedled “Not seen me what? Tell me! Tell me!” - Xiao Liu was always acting like a loutish man and this was the first time showing a pouty girlish side).

 Symbolika1:

And then he started suck/bite her neck and this sensation came "In the pain there was a sensation of numbness, a shivering feeling of bliss, as if someone was sucking, and licking, and lightly kissing." but that feeling is written through Xuan's feeling by his bug  connection with Xiao Liu. The meaning of bliss is happiness/joy but in this whole scene, I do not take bliss as Xiao Yao's happiness towards Xiang Liu's actions. But some sort of excitement because of getting touch like that.

Definetly it is not romantic. She was more of scared and nervous. All that she was telling him were all lies. Therefore to me romance is not feeling and very vague, especially her side, because the word used to describe her feeling directly is "nervous".

The feeling that WXL felt from XL's bite and sucking blood was written though Xuan's feeling - 3rd party which would give neutral opinion about what WXL felt should be called. And how Xuan felt is identical to how WXL felt. 

You wanted to elucidate and explain the feeling, It's great that you check the definition of the word. However, you did it on the translated version of the novel. Translation may not give 1 to 1 meaning ratio to the original text. I would recommend you to refer to the original text in Chinese to understand what Tong Hue wrote about WXL's feeling. Below is the original text. 

刚开始是剧烈的疼痛，就好似利齿刺入肉中，可是渐渐地，疼痛的感觉变的怪异起来，疼痛中夹杂着丝丝酥麻，痛中有微微的快感，就好似有人在吮吸舔舐轻吻。

What kind of feeling that made CX thirsty and angry? Probably CX didn't find it romantic either.

Chapter 9: 

My Analysis Part 1

Abstract 

A man in white sat in the middle, his face was neither young nor old, he looked about 30 something, but there were a lot of white hairs in his head and he gave off an aura of weathered sadness.

Shi Qi gently set Xiao Liu down and bowed “Your majesty, I am Ye Shi Qi and this is Wen Xiao Liu. His legs are injured so will Your majesty please forgive.”

The Grand Emperor appeared not to have heard Shi Qi and instead stared intently only at Xiao Liu.

Before entering the court, Xiao Liu was very nervous and strangely solemn. But now she appeared totally at ease and smiled at the Grand Emperor and let him stare his fill. After some time, the Grand Emperor waved for Shi Qi to get up.

The Grand Emperor asked Xiao Liu “Who hurt you?”

Xiao Liu smiled and glanced briefly at Zhuan Xu but said nothing. Zhuan Xu turned “It was me. He tried to run away time and time again, so I ordered him punished.”

The Grand Emperor stared at Zhuan Xu and then asked Xiao Liu “Did you have dinner yet?”

“Not yet.”

The Grand Emperor ordered a servant to prepare dinner.

.......
In the entire hall, only Xiao Liu was making loud uncouth noises. Xiao Liu ate and drank like a beast, without any refinement, eschewing utensils and just grabbing things with her hands and letting the juices fly everywhere.
....
A loud sucking and slurping noise wasn’t weird when a lot of people were eating together, but here in the silence of the imperial hall, where even the servants didn’t dare make any noise, Xiao Liu’s sucking was like a thunder loud.

The servants stood immobilized in fear but Shi Qi was silent and calm, continuing to eat his meal, while Zhuan Xu furrowed his brows in disgust.
....
The Grand Emperor stared for a long time at Xiao Liu then asked “What do you like to eat normally?”

“Me? Anything, but I love roasted lamb the most as the main dish.”

“Snacks?”

“Duck neck, chicken feet….” Xiao Liu licked her lips “And goose claws.”

“What kind of flavor? I’ll have the imperial kitchen make it for you. There is still enough time to have it ready for you to eat while listening to stories before bedtime.”

Xiao Liu was silent and stared at the Grand Emperor.
Zhuan Xu’s eyes were filled with confusion and doubt and his hands started shaking, causing the wine to slosh on him but he didn’t even notice and could only stare at Xiao Liu.

Xiao Liu suddenly laughed “Whatever flavor is fine, country folks aren’t picky.”

The Grand Emperor said to a retainer “Make one of every flavor.”

Xiao Liut turned to Shi Qi “I’m full, I want to go back and rest.”

Shi Qi bowed to the Grand Emperor and he said to Shi Qi “You take Xiao Liu back.”

Shi Qi picked up Xiao Liu and walked out of the hall. That was when Zhuan Xu stood up and stared at Xiao Liu’s disappearing form...

Grand Emperor Pampering Xiao Liu

We first encountered Grand Emperor here in the novel. In previous chapter the way his palace looks modest is already described. In  here, Grand Emperor neither looking young or old, looking around as 30 age of a human, but the clear fact is that there is sadness in him.
Wen Xiao Liu was surely seemly wanting to annoy him with all those noisy and messy manners. But Grand Emperor was not bothered one bit by that. He even asked her about her favorite dish and flavor and seems to know her well , by revealing about how she likes snacks before bedtime. One could take that it is because she reminds him of someone special. But of course we do know things will be revealing for the rest of the of the chapter.

and then he urgently turned to the Grand Emperor and asked “Master, who is he?”

The Grand Emperor asked back “Who do you think he is?”

“Master wanted me to bring him here and said maybe he was the child of someone close. I thought he could be a son of one of the deceased Five Princes, supposedly one of their wives was a poison master and tried to poison Master before. Xiao Liu is a poison expert, so I thought….. But Master, you just said for him to have a snack while listening to stories before bedtime. Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao……” Zhuan Xu was so scared and excited that his voice was shaking so hard he couldn’t continue “Little sister when she was small she would eat snacks before bedtime while listening to Auntie’s stories. Because she wanted to eat bedtime snacks she wouldn’t even eat her dinner properly. When Auntie chastised her, she would argue back that her Daddy let her eat snacks.”

Compared to Zhuan Xu’s shock, the Grand Emperor remained calm without a ripple “I cannot see through the magic so I don’t so I don’t know who he really is.””

Zhuan Xu sat down wearily on his knees “But Master must suspect?”

The Grand Emperor said nothing and Zhuan Xu bolted up and rushed to the door “I’m going to ask her. I’m going to ask her who she really is, and why she won’t reunite with me.”

“Halt!”

The Grand Emperor’s icy cold voice caused Zhuan Xu to stop and he looked back in confusion “Doesn’t Master want to know? Xiao Yao is your daughter!”

The Grand Emperor’s right hand touched the white bone ring on his left finger and he slowly turned it “Who she is, is not for us to decide. She needs to decide.”

Zhuan Xu didn’t understand but he knew his Master was never wrong so he kneeled down and listened.

“In this world, it’s not only ill intent that causes harm, a lot of harm is caused by love. You want to know who she is, I want to know too. But don’t force her. Give her time to tell us who she is.”

Zhuan Xu shook his head “I don’t understand…..”

The Grand Emperor walked out “You will understand.”

Zhuan Xu finally guessed who Wen Xiao Liu is..

In this part, we see or guessed that Grand Emperor already knew who Wen Xiao Liu was when Zhuan Xu/Cang Xuan was only beginning to realize it. It was clear that Grand Emperor did not want to force Wen Xiao Liu into admiting. It's all up to her, whether she was willing to reunite with him or not. But he's making her feel comfortable.
Grand Emperor also hinted that sometimes not only ill intent that causes harm but also love. Therefore, nothing should be forced.

Very good analysis. There is not much about XioaJing as you mentioned. I like the part from the Thai version that unfortunately  Koala removed.  Shiqi us very attentionated to Xiao liu. He is there for support, always by her side in case she needs him. He knows not to impose as well. I like when she is taking refuge in his arms to cry.

Finally we can guess who Xiao  liu .

First steps in chapter 9 (and 9-10 for Peng) ! Let's goo! This is a very interesting chapters for Xiao Liu - Xiao Yao <3.

 Winny Aye:

. He hurt her but she always only smiled back at him, without any anger in her smile, and instead there was comfort that he was now able to be so ruthless.

Cx will never learn... here he is in ch9 noticing her attitude, smiling at him, her gege, after all she's being put through to protect him, even when he hurt her badly - an attitude  from wich he could learn much, but unfortunatly for him, for their bond, he wont , and will persist even further (as we will see later on) in his wrongness, his egomania. Good ruler, but not to his inner self when it comes to Xiao Yao...
