"Who's there!"
The man heard the rustles from the porch and was alarmed. Then, he relaxed when he thought that Xuan Yi must have been hiding there.
Smiling wickedly as he walked to the curtains, he laughed at her foolishness, "If you had just stayed quiet, you might have even avoided my punishment. Too bad for you, Miss Xuan, you'll have to be punished for hiding from me."
The man planned what he would do to Xuan Yi once he captured her. He will tie her to the bed and tell her what it means to tether between heaven and hell. Then, when she can't hold it any longer, she'll be forced to beg him to take her. But he wouldn't do it. He'll take her slowly and painfully.
