Volume One, Chapter 11: How Could a Pure Maiden Willingly Fall from Grace?

“Bang!” The gate slammed shut with finality. The princess’s decisiveness was so sharp that even Ning Zhuo’er couldn’t help but smile.

“I really love the princess’s character!” Zhuo’er, fearing the situation wasn’t dramatic enough, raised her voice several times over, while her attendant Ling’er was somewhat at a loss.

“Miss?” Ning Ling turned around. Already quite beautiful, she addressed the maid.

“If anything happens to my lord, neither you nor your princess will step out of this courtyard!” The warning left Ling’er audacious and defiant: “Who do you think you are? My lady suffers losses, and you’re just a maid—why such a harsh tone?”

A chill spread across Ning Ling instantly!

Seeing this, Ning Zhuo’er quickly pulled Ling’er aside. This girl truly feared no one, while they all dared not offend the big sister. Yet this one was quite fierce!

Despite being dragged, Ling’er remained unconvinced.

Ning Ling glanced over, withdrew her killing intent, and instead looked toward the uneasy figure inside the side room, though she still cautiously tended to her lord.

Ning Ling did not leave...

Should anything happen inside, she would act immediately!

The importance of the lord could not be underestimated.

Inside the side room, Qin Yuan supported Xie Zheng, placing him gently on the bed. The distance from the doorway to the bed was only a few steps, yet his body temperature climbed steadily, even radiating onto her.

If this fever continued rising without timely relief, it was hard to imagine whether Xie Zheng would regain consciousness.

Qin Yuan watched Xie Zheng’s pained expression. According to Ling’er’s words, this was a reaction to cultivating the martial art.

She recalled the “Survival Scripture” she had given Xie Zheng herself, originally intended to help him train and protect her.

The whole mess had started because of her.

If she hadn’t intervened, that alluring little vixen outside would have stepped in. Xie Zheng was Qin Yuan’s prized possession; no one else was allowed to violate him!

By now, Qin Yuan already regarded him as her man.

For her man, she would never tolerate anyone sullying him.

Thus, Qin Yuan had to take matters into her own hands.

Yet regarding such intimate matters, she still felt shy; her ears and cheeks had been flushed red since entering.

If she touched him, she might be frightened by her own reaction.

He was burning hot, just like Xie Zheng himself!

“Hot... so hot... so hot...” Xie Zheng’s face was flushed scarlet; his skin reddened, and even his eyes shimmered with red. He tossed restlessly, extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment...

The more he cried out, the more flustered Qin Yuan became.

With things at this point, Qin Yuan had to act. She steeled herself: it was something bound to happen sooner or later, and since her intervention could save Xie Zheng’s life, she would not resist.

Slowly shedding her clothes, she revealed her flawless, creamy-white skin. Looking at her perfect body, Qin Yuan scolded him playfully.

“You’re really luckyI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
