"Fine. Speak. Were you peeping just now?" "No. I came to take a bath. I only realized there was someone after I jumped in!" Without hesitation, without even thinking, Yuan Ye directly denied it. "Miss, we found something behind a huge boulder," a guard stepped forward and said in a low voice. "What is it?" The guard was stunned for a moment and said very cautiously, "Some words. They're just too horrible to look at. You'd better see for yourself." The little beauty frowned and walked over. Yuan Ye immediately felt something was wrong. Sure enough, after just looking for a while, the little beauty's face was so red that it seemed blood would drip from it. "Ah -" The little beauty was almost driven mad with anger. "Cut off this bastard's eyes, tongue, nose, and ears. Kill you, you bastard." "Damn it!" Yuan Ye struggled feebly. "Wait a moment. I still have something to say. You can kill me after I'm done speaking!" No one paid attention to him. "Before executing a person, you usually give him a full meal and a last chance to speak. You're so cruel. It's inhumane!" Yuan Ye wailed. "Anything else to say?" The little beauty seemed a bit kind - hearted. Hearing the words 'inhumane', she seemed not to like others saying that about her. "Beauty, are you kidding? I grew up in Xinlin City since I was a child. My home is less than half a kilometer away. I come here to bathe every day. This place is the paradise of my childhood, filled with happy memories. Am I wrong to come here? Yes, I admit that I peeked at you, but it was purely an accident. If I had climbed into your home to peek at you bathing, you can kill me, and I won't say a word. But this is a public place. This is where I've played since I was a child. You took off your clothes and bathed here. How can you blame me?" "Then you still dared to look when you saw me bathing here, and... and wrote such shameless and disgusting things." The little beauty blushed as she spoke, almost wanting to find a hole to hide in. The guards around her also looked at Yuan Ye with murderous intent. "Come on. Do you expect me to not peek and just turn around? That's impossible. Let me put it this way. If an ugly woman was bathing in the pool today, I wouldn't look twice. I'd just curse 'bad luck' and leave. Even if a beautiful woman was bathing here today, a pure - hearted person like me could hold himself back, turn around, and go home. But today, I encountered an extraordinary fairy who doesn't seem to belong to the mortal world. Facing your beauty, I completely lost myself. Even a pure and kind - hearted man like me couldn't help but look, just like admiring the most beautiful scenery in the world, without any intention of desecrating it. Do you think I could turn around? If I did, wouldn't it be like saying you're not charming at all?" A look of pride appeared on the little beauty's face. She glanced at Yuan Ye. "You're quite eloquent. Well then, keep your tongue. Just gouge out your eyes and cut off your hands and feet." "Damn it. I've already endured humiliation and said all this, and you still want to harm me!" Yuan Ye's heart sank, and he quickly shouted again, "Wait again. I still have something to say!" "What else is there to say? Speak quickly!" This time, even the little beauty was losing her patience. "I... my home is just nearby, a little over half a kilometer away. Can you let me go back and see my father one more time? My father and I have a deep bond. Now I want to see the old man." Yuan Ye's voice trembled, sounding very sincere. "Why do you have to see him now?" The little beauty glared. "Damn it. You're going to gouge out my eyes. If I don't see him now, will I have another chance? I'm my father's only son. I'm going to be blind. Can't I see the old man? You're also your parents' child. If you were going to be blind, wouldn't you want to see them again?" The little beauty was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Fine. But don't try any tricks." Yuan Ye nodded repeatedly, but in his heart, he sneered. "Damn it. I came to charm her, but I got beaten instead. I'd be a fool not to play tricks. Yuan Jingzhi is also a prominent figure in Xinlin City, a good friend of the city lord. On Earth, he'd be like a member of the standing committee of the city people's congress, a close buddy of the city party secretary, a local bully. Do you dare to touch his son here? Maybe Yuan Jingzhi will be so happy when he sees this beautiful girl that he'll just let me marry her. Ha ha!" Yuan Ye's plan was to seek help from Yuan Jingzhi. Soon, the little beauty and her group escorted Yuan Ye to the Yuan Mansion. Moreover, a guard directly kicked open the gate of the Yuan Mansion. Even the guards at the gate of the Yuan Mansion who came forward to question were directly smashed into the mansion. "Something's wrong. This is my territory. How can they be so arrogant?" Seeing this scene, Yuan Ye felt something was amiss. With the gate smashed, everyone in the Yuan Mansion was alerted. Soon, Yuan Jingzhi, his seven sons, the butler, and the guards all rushed over. As soon as these people came out, they saw Yuan Ye bound and escorted by twelve guards. An old man in a purple robe stood haughtily, and a sixteen - or seventeen - year - old girl was in the middle of the guards.
