How Dare You?

Countless ways of escaping danger flashed through the girl's mind, but she had never prepared herself for anything like this.

The man had practically given her no chance to refuse. His strong, warm male body pressed close, though he was considerate enough to brace himself with his arms at her sides instead of putting his weight on her.

Even knowing they were putting on an act, they were barely wearing anything. They each had only a pair of shorts on, and the sensations passing between them were far too clear.

"You!"

The girl glared at him. Yet there was less killing intent in her eyes this time, replaced by a strange flicker of panic. She opened her mouth to say something, only for the man before her to cover it with his hand and whisper in her ear, "Shh. You don't want them to find us, do you?"

Hearing the footsteps in the small courtyard drawing closer, the girl had no other choice. Blushing, she lightly bit her red lip and turned her head aside, putting on the look of someone being forced.

Ji Qinglin naturally had no mood to play the pervert at a time like this. He only wanted to send the people investigating outside away as soon as possible. But after pressing down on her, he realized that the touch of skin separated by almost no clothing was genuinely intoxicating.

He could feel every inch of warmth on her body, let alone certain places that were particularly engorged.

Suppressing his stray thoughts, Ji Qinglin pulled over the blanket and shook the wooden bed. He deliberately raised his voice toward the bedroom door. "Is your husband amazing or what?"

To make it sound more convincing, Ji Qinglin shook the bed with one hand while rhythmically slapping his palm against his arm with the other.

Yet even after all that, the girl remained less than cooperative. Her face flushed, she turned her head away, bit her lip, and said nothing.

Ji Qinglin dearly wanted to kick the woman beneath him out of bed, then add, "Do you even understand the bare minimum of respect for a man?!"

But since they had already begun acting, there was no other way. He could only keep shaking the wooden bed while spouting filthy words.

Tap, tap—

Two crisp sounds rang out. It was clear that the searchers had climbed over the locked iron gate and jumped into the courtyard.

Having absorbed a great deal of data from the Qi Sea Cloud Disk, Ji Qinglin's hearing and vision had improved considerably. He could vaguely hear the two people who had entered the courtyard whispering to each other.

"Shh, there's movement."

"Sounds pretty intense."

"Hehe, but that guy doesn't seem too capable. The woman hasn't made a sound at all."

"How do you know the other one's a woman? Maybe it's also—"

The girl seemed able to hear the two men whispering outside as well. Though her pretty face was still red and her brows tightly furrowed as she turned away, she nevertheless sneaked a few glances outside.

Seeing that, Ji Qinglin thought, I'm up here working myself to death with this vocal performance. If you still don't make a sound, they'll get suspicious sooner or later.

So, pervert or not, he reached out, intending to pinch her beneath the ribs and make her cry out, lest the people outside grow suspicious.

But one of his arms was supporting his body, and when he turned his hand to pinch her, he could not quite get the angle right. Without noticing, he reached several inches too far inward and directly grabbed her breast.

"Ah~"

“You bastard, how dare you!” Judging by that look and expression, Ji Qinglin would not have been surprised if she had pounced on him and bitten him the next moment.

How dare you, you bastard?! Looking at her expression, Ji Qinglin would not have been surprised if she pounced on him and bit him the next moment.

But that female cry truly did the trick. The footsteps of the searchers approaching outside halted, and they began whispering again.

"See? I told you it was a woman."

"Hey, that one sounded pretty hard."

"You don't understand. That cry was obviously startled. Maybe they switched to another route—"

"Listen some more, listen some more."

Ji Qinglin cursed inwardly. You two bastards! Did you come here to listen to porn? If you're not searching, get the hell out! Are you planning to eavesdrop until tomorrow morning?

But he could not lash out now and could only continue his vocal performance.

Still, that pinch had worked quite well. At the very least, it had convinced the people outside that Cloud and Rain over Mount Wu was underway, so Ji Qinglin planned to add another touch to deepen the impression. This time, he only needed to aim beneath her ribs.

But the girl beneath him was prepared this time. The instant she saw Ji Qinglin reach out, she raised her hand and seized his wrist. Her slender fingers were just as hot. Then she lifted her head and glared at him, roughly meaning:

You actually dare again?! Before Ji Qinglin could decide what to do next, the two men outside resumed their whispered conversation.

"Should we still go in and search?"

"What the hell is there to search in this dump? But we could enjoy the show."

Then the two suddenly raised their voices on purpose. "Search carefully! Go in and take a look!"

"Why is there a light in the bedroom? Check it quickly!"

Immediately afterward, two sets of footsteps rapidly approached.

Ji Qinglin thought, Have you two no shame at all? If you think there's nothing here, just leave! What is there to enjoy about this? But with the footsteps drawing near, he had no other option. He withdrew his arm and truly pressed himself onto the girl, pulling the blanket high so that only their arms and shoulders were exposed. Knowing there was no way out now, the girl reluctantly raised her jade-like arms and hooked them around Ji Qinglin's neck.

Bang—

The half-closed bedroom door was kicked open without surprise.

"Ah!"

The girl cried out and immediately yanked the blanket over her body and face, leaving only her black curls and frightened, innocent eyes exposed.

Ji Qinglin thought, So you can act after all. Why did you make me work so hard earlier? But he had no chance to complain. He made a motion beneath the blanket as though he had just pulled up his pants, then crawled out from under the covers with an angry, startled expression.

"Y-you people, who are you? What are you doing in my home?"

The two searchers wore black Guard Team uniforms. They had clearly been disappointed not to see any steamy scene after bursting in, but they still answered in an official tone, "We received a report that suspicious and dangerous individuals had infiltrated Xin Dong Street. We called out several times in the courtyard and received no response, so we came in to take a look."

Called out my ass. More like you were outside listening to the sounds inside.

Ji Qinglin put on an angry expression.

"Suspicious my ass! Do you have a search warrant? I'm going to file a complaint with the Guard Team!"

"Sir, don't get worked up. We're only carrying out routine duties. If it's convenient, please show us your identification first."

Ji Qinglin had anticipated this from the moment they prepared to enter, so he directly tossed them the wallet on the table and snapped, "Suspect me? Open your damn eyes and see who I am!"

The two opened the wallet in confusion and discovered that beside the identification card was an elder's credential from the Xin Dong Street Merchant Association.

One of them immediately nodded.

"Hiss, so you're an Association elder. We're terribly sorry, terribly sorry. But why are you living in somewhere like—"

Before he could finish, the other man tugged at his clothes, then secretly glanced at the girl on the bed, roughly meaning:

Are you stupid? Can't you tell? Of course he came somewhere nobody knows him to do this sort of thing! Drive the car steadily; type the words slowly.
