But why such good treatment? A comfortable bed and blanket? Could I have been taken hostage? I have nothing except the Tianxia Hall and some silver. With close ties to four emperors, everything remains confidential. Who would take me as a hostage?
I was frustrated. Could this not be a kidnapping? I shook my head; no. The way I was carried was clearly a kidnapping. Could I have some use? With my beautiful body, being taken to a brothel wouldn’t be surprising.
Especially those extremely immoral members of the Demon Sect? Boo-hoo~~ I don’t want to become a prostitute!
Just as I was lost in my wild thoughts, a familiar male voice came from beside me: “Fool, what are you doing?” I was startled and mechanically turned my head to see a masked man in Demon Sect attire sitting by the bed, propping his chin with his hand.
I instinctively wrapped the blanket tighter around me. “You… you… don’t come near me, or else… or else…” I was so scared I could barely speak. There was a hint of laughter in his eyes: “Or else what? The paralyzing drug in your system hasn’t worn off yet.”
“Did you kidnap me?” Looking into his eyes, I felt my nerves inexplicably relax. “No,” the masked man shook his head and said deliberately, “I’m the one who hit you on the back of the head.” “Damn, do you have to be so proud about it?” If it weren’t for the drug, I’d really want to punch him.
He shook his head and sighed, “Ah, it seems the head injury last time really changed you. You’re completely different from the Ling Xiaocan of before.” How does he know my name? “Who are you?”
The masked man leaned closer: “You’ve become so slow. Before, you would recognize me immediately. And now, you’ve become so concerned about your dignity.” “Don’t make me ask again! (╰_╯)” I was angry. Doesn’t this guy understand human language?
The man remained silent, removing the black cloth covering his face, revealing a familiar visage. I immediately relaxed and slapped his face, “Ling Yan, this is your punishment for hitting me.”
“Why do you always hit my face!” Ling Yan complained. “I just saved you, okay?”
