Little Jiu licked his dry lips and gently toyed with a strand of Snow Empress's silver hair. His gaze burned with naked desire, as though he wanted to devour her whole.
"Y-you, move away first."
Snow Empress found Little Jiu's gaze far too scorching. She was so nervous that she did not know what to do.
"How far? One step, or two? Would one step be too close and two steps too far?"
A wicked smile curled across Little Jiu's lips.
"You—"
Snow Empress's beautiful eyes widened. Seeing how shameless Little Jiu was, she suddenly felt that she should not have relented earlier. Could she still throw this rogue out now?
Little Jiu stepped forward, and Snow Empress felt her heart pound wildly. She was utterly flustered, unsure whether she was afraid or expectant.
She muttered inwardly, Being human is really too difficult!
Snow Empress kept edging away along the wall. To her sorrow, she discovered that at a time like this, the strength she had cultivated for more than six hundred thousand years was completely useless. She could only let herself be at his mercy.
Suddenly, Snow Empress cried out. She was so nervous that she fell straight onto the bed.
At that moment, Snow Empress froze.
Little Jiu had already leaned over her and said with a wicked grin, "Are you in that much of a hurry?"
"Get away from me!"
Snow Empress felt that if she did not do something now, Little Jiu would only push his luck further. She raised her leg and kicked at him.
Little Jiu dodged, then covered Snow Empress's mouth and said nervously, "Shh, don't make a fuss. Do you want to draw everyone here? So they can see us like this?"
"I'm shameless anyway. If you don't mind, then go ahead
