Pin Shanhe

At this moment, only the two of them remained in the bamboo house.

Even the ambiguous atmosphere in the room hadn't dissipated.

Shen Fu felt extremely embarrassed, but she also knew that things should be put to rest.

She did initially suspect that he had given her an aphrodisiac.

But after Yun Dai explained that he first brought her here to find an antidote, and after learning that there was no antidote, he had no choice but to personally detoxify her in order to save her life.

In a sense, he was indeed her savior.

If he hadn't demanded responsibility, she might have actually felt a little grateful.

but now……

This is the only way to make the other party back down.

"Since you know who I am, you should know who my husband is."

"He... possesses unparalleled martial arts skills, is sinister and ruthless, and kills without hesitation. If he knew the truth, he definitely wouldn't let you go!"

"So, for your own safety, it's best to keep what happened last night to yourself and pretend nothing happened, understand?"

Before their marriage, that was indeed her impression of Xiao Xuanjin.

But as they spent more and more time together, she gradually discovered the tenderness hidden beneath his seemingly cold and hard exterior.

Whenever she is in danger, he is always the first to step forward; when others insult her or press her, he will not hesitate to protect her.

She even hoped that the person who saved her this time was Xiao Xuanjin...

Never mind, none of that matters anymore.

The most crucial thing right now is to solve this immediate problem.

Only by demonstrating the power and prestige of the Xuan King can we deter the other party from their persistent attempts to pester us.

The man showed no fear whatsoever; instead, he mocked, "You've been married for so long, and you're still a virgin. I never imagined your 'God of War' husband would turn out to be nothing but a pretty face with no substance."

"Shut up! I won't allow you to talk about him like that!"

Xiao Xuanjin had helped her so many times; she couldn't bear to watch him be ridiculed and misunderstood like this.

Seeing her suddenly get flustered, the other person found it even more amusing.

Instead of restraining themselves, they "went even further."

"I'm telling the truth. What's the use of a man who can't even give you happiness? The title of 'God of War' is just an empty shell. Why not dump him and be with me?"

Shen Fu could no longer tolerate it.

They struck suddenly, taking advantage of the moment when the enemy was off guard.

Just now, she had already hidden the gold hairpin in her sleeve, prepared to kill the hostage if the negotiations failed.

The current outcome serves as a stark reminder that she should have done this a long time ago!

Because only the dead can keep secrets forever.

When the hairpin was only an inch away from the man's chest, it stopped, as if there was an invisible barrier in front of her, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not move forward an inch.

This... is this the legendary internal energy?

In a short while, the hairpin was knocked to the ground, and the person was held tightly in his arms.

"Trying to repay kindness with enmity again? If it weren't for me last night, would you still be standing here safely?"

"Let me go!"

Shen Fu struggled desperately, but she was no match for his strength and could not break free even a fraction of an inch.

A soft sneer came from above: "You heartless little thing, haven't you heard of repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude? Shouldn't you repay the life-saving grace with your body?"

He's clearly taking advantage of the situation and then acting innocent!

She was the one who suffered a loss, so why did he act like he had been wronged by something so terrible?

Does this sound like a word?

Out of anger, she could only continue to resort to threats.

"I'm a married woman, how can I take responsibility for you? Aren't you afraid he'll come back and kill you with a sword?"

"I've heard that the Xuan King's martial arts are unparalleled in the world, and I'd very much like to experience them for myself."

"..."

He's really fearless!

Shen Fu couldn't help but become suspicious. No one in the world was unafraid of the Xuan King's reputation, yet he didn't seem to care about it at all.

Who exactly is this man?

However, she didn't want to continue arguing with him and just wanted to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible, so she took out a silver note and slapped it on him.

"One thousand taels should be enough to buy you for one night, right?"

"What did you say?"

The man was taken aback by her actions, and his face instantly darkened.

"What do you take me for?"

Shen Fu curled her lip: "The male prostitutes in the Red Chamber only cost ten taels of silver. I paid a hundred times that price. It's fair to you."

This man's appearance and demeanor are truly rare in this world. If we really compare them based on looks, she is not at a disadvantage.

As for the technology...

Having lived two lives, this was the first time she had experienced something like this.

His back aches, his legs are weak, which shows his skills are terrible; it's good enough that he's not penalized.

The man was completely enraged and grabbed her arm.

"How dare you compare me to a courtesan in a brothel?"

Shen Fu replied confidently, "Otherwise what? It's a fair transaction, money for goods, and we have no other relationship."

"Good! Very good!"

That face was clearly smiling!

Why did it send chills down her spine?

"Since this is a transaction, and you paid a hundred times the price, this is only the first time. There are still ninety-nine times to come. I must personally carry out this to the end and never let you suffer a loss."

"..."

No need!

Besides, is he sure it only happened once last night?

Shen Fu sensed something was wrong and tried to slip away quickly, but she was grabbed and thrown back onto the wooden bed.

Seeing the approaching white-clad figure, she was so frightened that she retreated repeatedly.

"Don't come any closer! I was just kidding! You saved my life, I'm truly grateful, and I should thank you properly."

"Too late!"

Her clothes were ripped to shreds, exposing her snow-white shoulders to the cold air, which were stained with some ambiguous red marks.

What happened last night occurred while she was unconscious, so she could comfort herself by thinking of it as a dream.

If we could do it again...

Shen Fu could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

The tears instantly extinguished the man's anger, leaving him momentarily at a loss.

"Don't cry!"

After what happened last night, having her innocence taken by a stranger, and now being threatened and humiliated, how can she bear it?

Shen Fu felt increasingly wronged as she thought about it, and reached out to punch his chest hard.

"You bastard, what right do you have to bully me?"

"..."

She was the one who provoked him first, comparing him to a brothel lover, yet it became his fault?

But seeing her tears... never mind!

"It's my fault, don't cry."

Shen Fu cried even louder.

Perhaps due to the shock and stimulation, coupled with the exhaustion from the previous night, she eventually fainted in a state of emotional distress.

Little did she know that after she lost consciousness, the man caught her body steadily.

He reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, his face showing an indescribable mix of helplessness and tenderness.

Then I thought of that damned person who drugged her with aphrodisiacs...

The man's gaze suddenly turned icy cold, as if he were in a freezing hell.
