"However, I insist on taking care of it. You are the person that I have saved. Thus, your life must be controlled by me."

Sure enough, he had a purpose in saving her.

Looking at him, her heart was filled with unwillingness. She didn't like this kind of deal. Gritting her teeth, she said in a weak and soft voice, "Did I give myself to you? Then, can you write off the matter of you saving me?" If that was really possible, then she would give it to him.

However, he did not answer her question. Instead, he asked, "Then, are you willing?"

His heart hurt. He really wanted her to give her body to him willingly.

She gritted her teeth again, her nails digging into her flesh. However, the pain could not wipe away the pain in her heart. Looking at him, she resolutely said, "I'm willing." Even if she gave him back the favor of saving her, without him, she wouldn't be alive right now.

But now, this gift had become a deal. A deal that she didn't like, but she had unexpectedly agreed to it.

"Alright." With just one word, his eyes once again flashed with a light that made her flustered and flustered.

With a wave of her hand, all the sheets on her body were removed, revealing her smooth, jade-like skin.

Qin Zhiruo was very beautiful. She had always known that, but this beauty had also harmed her.

That was because the lustful Ximen Ruixue had already decided to do something to her.

He was scanning her body, his gaze sliding past every inch of her, and she was staring back at him in that helpless way.

He didn't do anything, only lying quietly in front of him.

If she could really repay him for saving her by doing this, then she would truly have no regrets. It was merely a layer of film.

Besides, she would wear it back sooner or later. She missed living in the modern world.

But why did her heart ache when she met his gaze?

That pain was so painful that it pierced through her soul, causing her heart to palpitate.

Kisses, such as the fine rain, densely fell down, making her body slightly tremble with his kiss.

"Ruo'er, relax, I will be very gentle." As he kissed her, he whispered into her ear. When his slender fingers slid across the gatekeeper's sand on her arm, he actually let out a soft sigh, as if he couldn't bear it.

But he still did it.

Her lips and fingers danced on her body, and the brush strokes she drew seemed as vivid as a painting. Even when she closed her eyes, she could still feel it.

His lips were burning.

Silence.

The silence in the air made it difficult for her to breathe.

In that tranquility, his fingertip lightly touched her, causing a loud sound to ring out in her mind. Her entire body immediately collapsed.

She was afraid.

She, who had never had affairs between a man and a woman, was truly afraid.

Heavens, he really knew how to make a woman go crazy in front of him. His fingers seemed to be rubbing and writing magic, making her forget everything at this moment.

He only wanted to return the favor of saving her.

Well, then, she and he were on the same side.

She gritted her teeth with all her might to prevent herself from letting out any sound from his movements. Her clenched teeth had already started bleeding from her lips.

"Be good and don't be afraid. Give yourself to me." He coaxed her on. Her gown had been untied.

She had learned physiology, and she knew everything. It was just that she had never carried it out.

His fingers were moving, and his whole body was sinking toward hers.

It seemed that he was determined to get rid of her guardian sand.

Her heart trembled at how persistent he was. And yet, he continued to do everything as if it were perfectly natural for him to do it.

Only because he'd saved her.

She really didn't want to. The only time was when she had wanted to leave it to her husband, but now, she wanted to give it to the man who had saved her in the past.

And he was a man who divided love into many parts of fraternity.

Or rather, there was no love in his heart at all, all he wanted was possession.

His body was sinking. Perhaps, just a single strike and everything would be settled.

Although she didn't want to, she didn't want to owe him a favor.

It also meant that they no longer had anything to do with each other.

I did.

Just by taking a moment, that would mean...

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Ruo Ruo's body shuddered instinctively. Ximen Ruixue's body shifted. While he was moving, his finger had already picked up the thin blanket around her and quickly covered her body. When he quickly moved to the door, he straightened his clothes and asked outside, "Who is it?"

"Crown Prince, the empress is looking for you everywhere."

It was the voice of mustard, as if he remembered.

As he listened, his heart couldn't help but be filled with gratitude. Mustard Cake, she had saved him twice.

Once in the darkroom, once here.

She would remember all of this.

She would remember the kindness of others. Even if she had kindness, she would still repay it. That was the reason for her conduct.

"Tell Ruoxi that I'll be there in a moment." Xi Men Rui Xue said in a low voice, but she did not intend to open the door.

"Yes, this servant will go now."

Outside, the sound of footsteps could be heard again, and soon, the mustard was gone.

The man in front of the door flew back to the bed. He was quiet, but at that moment, a complicated look could be seen in his eyes. After a while, he sighed and flew out, leaving her naked in the room.

The familiar fragrance of the incense drifted away. As the door opened and closed, the smell of Xi Men Rui Xue was no longer in the room.

It was as if he had never come here before, yet there were still traces of his lips, his tongue, the marks he had made with his fingers, making her heart tremble as she thought back to everything that had happened.

In the end, he had not returned that favor.

She still owed him a favor for saving her life.

The sunlight outside the window was really nice, but her heart felt a bit heavy.

Her entire body still lacked strength, and the poison had not disappeared yet. Her soft body made her slowly put on her clothes and she really wanted to leave this room, but she didn't know if she could or if she was in a palace in one of the palaces.

The courtyard outside the window was completely silent. Not even a single person could be seen. However, the vast area of the pond attracted Ruo Ruo's attention.

It was the second time that she, who had grown up in the north, had seen such a lotus pond. The first time was at Qin Manor, but it had been messed up by Xi Men Rui Xue and those earthworms.

But now the lotuses had caught her attention.

Seeing the flower and the dark green lotus leaves, seeing that there was no one in the garden, Ruo Ruo sneaked out. With just a glance, she returned to her room. She would definitely not cause any trouble.
