The next breath Bai Ye took irritated the wound on her lip and she winced.
Then, she felt something soft on her lip. The man was tasting her bottom lip as if it was a delicacy. He suckled at her bleeding lip.
She shut her eyes but made no move to fight the man. Her limbs did not obey her orders. Her frosty glare made the man who was sucking her lip, or more accurately her blood, chuckle.
Even his chuckle was magnetic like his person.
Yu Jiuchong was amused to find such a remarkable young lady. Not only did she carry a rare inheritance in her veins, she also had more courage and wisdom than the average person.
The girl was able to retain her calmness and wit despite being physically near him, something no one had succeeded before. Although her body was immobilized, he could tell she was patiently waiting for a chance to strike at him.
The girl emanated a tantalizing scent that he could not resist. He deduced the girl belonged to the dark and did not hesitate to take a bite.
The blood he tasted confirmed his suspicions.
"You taste sweet," Yu Jiuchong said after releasing the girl's bottom lip. His finger traced a path across her swollen, red lips.
Following that, he started to undress before Bai Ye. He gracefully took off the black silk robe he wore.
"Master…" The bodyguard who was watching the scene unfold felt his jaw drop. His mind went blank. There was nothing he could do but stew in the uneasiness he felt.
The bodyguard could not believe his master! Tianxuan Empire's most dangerous man was seducing a young girl in the hills of a backwater village.
Sure, the bodyguard admitted the girl was quite a beauty but at this moment, she was covered in mud and smelled like a rotting corpse.
Master!
Oh, master!
'When did your preference change? Are you so hungry that you're willing to forsake your dignity? Ah, no, this is not right…' the bodyguard thought.
'Master, you never had much interest in women before. Why now?'
Many pretty ladies in the king's court clamored for his attention. Yu Jiuchong ignored them all, and yet he was flirting with this nobody in the woods.
Ignoring the bodyguard's grumblings, Yu Jiuchong did as he pleased. After he disrobed, he bent over and inched closer to Bai Ye.
The bodyguard quickly shifted his gaze in respect, though he was disappointed in his master's taste. Who knew the man had such exotic preferences.
The bodyguard felt nauseous.
As long as his master was happy...
Bai Ye's thoughts of the man who stood before her were not too far off from the bodyguard's. She was aware of the unappealing stench that followed her after her tussle in the mud. There was no way she came across as anything but filthy.
Moreover, Bai Ye had the undeveloped physique of a 15-year-old. She had no curves so to speak. She wondered if the beautiful stranger who stood before her had some pedophilic tendencies.
Bai Ye had no means of fighting back, so she tried her best to control her emotions. With leering eyes, she sized up the shirtless man. He had a broad chest that tapered into a narrow waist. His legs were slender but muscular. All in all, Bai Ye could not say she was disappointed.
After the first once-over, she felt a tug at her waist and she fell forward.
