Thinking of this, Xu Nian'an turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and thought, "Forget it. Although Zhu Zhuqing is quite old now, she's only eleven years old. She's too fragile."
It wouldn't be good if it cracked by force.
I got up and went to the huge sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Before long, streams of golden Soul Power began to emerge.
···
The stars twinkled, the moon and sun alternated, until a pale light appeared on the distant horizon.
"Hmm... Hmph~!"
Behind them, a girl's soft moans drifted from the huge bed.
Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes, and the moment she did, her dark pupils froze.
here it is····
Zhu Zhuqing's mind was in turmoil.
Looking at the huge, luxurious ceiling, Zhu Zhuqing's mind went completely blank for a moment.
How did I end up here?
Wasn't he escaping his family's pursuit?
It seems like I was rescued.
Just as Zhu Zhuqing was trying to recall who had saved her, she suddenly felt a series of needle-like pains in her head and all over her body.
"Hmph~!!!"
"It hurts~!"
Zhu Zhuqing reached out her hand, intending to press the painful spot, but her body stiffened as soon as she moved, and she suddenly realized that her clothes had been changed sometime during the day.
She was only wearing a thin bath towel and gauze bandaging her wound.
For a fleeting moment, Zhu Zhuqing stopped thinking.
Despite feeling pain all over my body.
But she felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
Could it be that I was...?
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned red, and her dark pupils kept darting around.
It's like a punching bag, puffed up, but its own strength prevents it from crying out loud, a feeling of forcing oneself to hold back tears.
With her arms wrapped around her shoulders and her head resting on her long legs, Zhu Zhuqing began to think.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get; the more I think about it, the more I feel cheated.
The family that gave birth to and raised him wants to capture him, and his own sister wants to kill him.
Why... but why?
He was perfectly fine when he was little.
Involuntarily, a handsome young man with blond hair, whom I had only met a few times, flashed through my mind.
Because of him, all because of him, because he abandoned me, I've ended up in this state.
Thinking about how he wouldn't have ended up like this if he hadn't come looking for him...
Tick-tock!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. In the end, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't hold back any longer, and tears streamed down her fair cheeks.
His shoulders began to shake uncontrollably.
"Hmph hmph hmph..."
Not far away.
Upon hearing this strange sound, Xu Nian'an, who was cultivating, frowned slightly.
How long are you going to cry?
The noise around her made it impossible for Xu Nian'an to calm down, so Xu Nian'an had no choice but to give up her cultivation and slowly open her eyes.
Get up.
Upon hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Zhu Zhuqing stiffened and quickly looked up.
A face streaked with tears appeared.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xu Nian'an and only saw a vague outline and a Halo Mask.
Swish!!!
"You bastard, I... I'll kill you!"
The next instant, Zhu Zhuqing jumped up from the bed, and two Soul Ring appeared.
A purple cat suddenly appeared behind them, its fingernails growing longer and longer.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing reach out to grab him, Xu Nian'an simply frowned slightly.
The air froze in the next instant, and a powerful burst of Soul Power instantly immobilized Zhu Zhuqing in mid-air.
"Is this how you express gratitude to the person who saved your life?"
Upon hearing Xu Nian'an's words, Zhu Zhuqing's expression turned even uglier.
"I asked you to save me, but I didn't ask you to... do anything you shouldn't have!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian'an didn't even turn her head.
Slowly raising her right hand, Zhu Zhuqing waved gently, and instantly flew back to the bed.
"I'm not interested in your body right now."
If I were to force myself to use it now, I could probably kill Zhu Zhuqing.
"My maids wrapped you in gauze, and they also gave you a bath."
Please do not slander my innocence.
Whoosh!
Zhu Zhuqing stood up and glared at Xu Nian'an, about to rebuke him, when she suddenly felt a chill.
Upon seeing this, Xu Nian'an leisurely sat up.
I picked up the water glass and took a sip.
"I take back what I just said. Now I'm a little interested in you."
"I saved your life, so repay me with your body."
After saying that, Xu Nian'an's lips curled up slightly.
"That's impossible!"
Zhu Zhuqing refused.
"Little one, I saved your life. You begged me to save you back then, and now I've saved you."
"You just opened your eyes and tried to kill me without saying a word, and you even blame me for doing that to you... do you know how you should be grateful to your benefactor?"
"I stayed up all night to keep you safe so that nothing bad would happen to you."
"The thought that such a beautiful woman slept next to me all night and I didn't touch her makes me feel like a complete idiot."
"I'm even Liu Xiahui than Liu Xiahui!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned pale upon hearing this.
The sadness I felt earlier about my body being... well, that was instantly discarded.
If I were really as he said, then I would be utterly inhuman.
The thought that I woke up with my whole body aching was likely because I had fallen while being chased yesterday.
There was also an arrow wound in his chest.
"How... how can I believe you!"
Hugging the blanket tightly, Zhu Zhuqing's face gradually turned red.
Just now, just now, my bath towel fell off, and I just... appeared naked in front of him.
"Also, even if everything you said is true, what you just said..."
Before Zhu Zhuqing could finish speaking, Xu Nian'an helplessly shrugged.
"You showed this to me yourself."
"How can you blame me for this?"
"Since you don't believe me, then I have no choice but to... show you again."
After saying that, Xu Nian'an simply clapped her hands.
In an instant, the door was opened, and a group of palace maids dressed in light pink gauze walked in.
He approached Xu Nian'an, bowed slightly, and waited to the side.
"Go, repeat what you did to this little one yesterday, and change her dressing."
The head palace maid nodded slightly.
"Yes."
In a very simple moment, she appeared in front of Zhu Zhuqing.
"Please, young lady."
Zhu Zhuqing frowned.
"Don't touch me!"
Before she could say anything more, she felt her body sink, and soon she was being carried out of the room.
Damn it, I can't move... I can't move.
"Girl, why are you resisting so much? Do you know that you're resisting the wealth and fortune of your later years?"
"Did you give it to me last night, girl?"
"Of course, you can see there's blood, it must have been very intense last night."
Listening to the chatter of the palace maids, Zhu Zhuqing looked flustered and glanced at her chest, realizing that she had indeed bled again because of her excessive movements.
No, also, are these palace maids sick?
Why are you looking at your lower body with such envy?
Before she could react, Zhu Zhuqing felt a chill.
Pervert!
The person who reached out was the female official who led this group of palace maids.
The female official frowned, then immediately moved closer to Zhu Zhuqing's face, sniffed the air, and frowned again.
No.
He looked at Zhu Zhuqing's lips, pinched them to check her mouth, but there was nothing there. Without the slightest hesitation, he kissed her.
