Qin Yunchuan was silent for a moment before he sized up the young girl.
With just a glance, he felt a little stiff as he turned his back.
Fortunately, Qin Yunchuan was a person with extremely strong self-control.
"Wash yourself. I'll come back to look for you later."
Qin Yunchuan...
Looking at his tightly clenched hands, Xia Ling's gaze landed on his taut back again.
Xia Ling: "Alright."
Hearing her reply, Qin Yunchuan immediately left the Lotus Yard in large strides. He looked like he was fleeing in a sorry state.
Meanwhile, Xia Ling's body was wet and sticky. She did not need to lower her head to guess what Qin Yunchuan had seen.
She returned to her room to dry herself and change her clothes. Then, she went to the small kitchen to boil some hot water.
She closed the door and was just about to take off her dress when her hands touched her clothes. Suddenly, there was a strange sound outside the room's window.
"Puppet, look who it is!" Xia Ling's eyes turned cold.
This was not the first time. It was the same last night.
She slept soundly when suddenly, there was a sound by the door and window. It was as if someone was hiding outside her door.
Xia Ling stood up and lit a candle. The people outside fled in panic. From the sound of footsteps, it was a man.
This time, hearing the sound, Xia Ling became even more alert.
She asked the puppet to check the situation outside and projected it to her.
Standing beside the wooden barrel, she pretended to adjust the temperature of the water so as not to alert the enemy.
Closing her eyes, Xia Ling saw the scene outside the room.
It was a man dressed in a coarse robe. He was thin and had a goatee. His eyes were small as well.
He used his fingers to stick a hole in the window paper. He leaned against the window and peeked into her room.
...
This was an abnormal world!
Even Xia Ling had escaped from that dirty world under Qin Yunchuan's protection.
But in an abnormal world, what dominated men was not their feelings, but their innate bad natures.
Qing He's character was that all men who saw her would have the urge to snatch her away. It would be disadvantageous to her.
And now, Xia Ling had escaped Qing He's greatest calamity. She had been redeemed by Qin Yunchuan and left the Red Chamber.
However, this did not mean that her situation was safe.
The royal residence was a pure land, but after leaving it, everything outside was still a mix of power and conflict. Her face was too attractive. If she were to show her face, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
To her, other than Qin Yunchuan, the existence of all male creatures was a great threat to her.
She was like a piece of fat meat, while the men of this world were like flies. They liked the most beautiful and charming women, but she did not want to be liked by them. However, because of her special constitution that attracted men, she could only endure the men's affection.
These people constantly surrounded her and tried to take advantage of her.
They even risked their lives to bring her into the abyss.
As for Xia Ling, if she did not have any strength and only relied on Qin Yunchuan's protection, she would definitely find it difficult to move in this world.

"Didn't he want to see? Let him see! Let him see Qin Yunchuan coming over." Xia Ling's cold voice stirred her killing intent.
She instructed the puppet to create a fake image of a beauty bathing in front of the man.
Anyway, her back was facing that direction. The man couldn't tell who was bathing.
The man outside could only see a beautiful back stepping into the wooden bucket amid the white steam. The more blurry the image was, the more beautiful it was.
