Chapter 45: Psychological Game with the Girl, The Call from Next Door!_1

"Splash!"

The sound of trickling water emanated from the bathroom.

Amidst the noisy splashing, faint muffled moans resembling those of a kitten could be heard.

It seemed as if the person making the sounds was trying hard to keep them under control, desperately suppressing something.

Fearing that the woman outside the bedroom would detect the commotion within.

...

Time moved backward.

At this moment, Luo Yu's brows were relaxed as he soaked in the warm water, his eyes closed in repose.

His perfectly strong upper body floated on the water's surface, his arms naturally resting on the edge of the wooden tub, contentedly enjoying the meticulous massages from the young girl's slender, jade hands.

Zhu Zhuyun's cheeks were flush with a rosy tint as she knelt obediently by the side of the tub, her fair, white knees slightly reddened, her smooth, tender hands skillfully relaxing the man's shoulders and neck.

Her beautiful eyes brimmed with satisfaction, as if they could drip with water, invisibly radiating a distinctive allure.

Her black, glossy hair damp with water clung to her neck, dressed in a black chest wrap and hip-length shorts, accentuating her proud and fiery figure.

"Master, are you satisfied with Yun'er's service?"

Luo Yu's eyelids remained closed, his lips barely moved, "No one is forcing you, why did you choose to do this?"

Zhu Zhuyun's seductive smile faded, "I belong to my master; is serving you not the duty I should fulfill?"

"Rather than lies, I prefer to hear the truth," the man spoke calmly, yet his voice seemed to carry a dense authority.

Zhu Zhuyun's hands paused for a moment, she bent down low, her lips lightly kissing the broad shoulder of the man, her seductive demeanor gone, replaced with a visage of vulnerable appeal.

"Yun'er doesn't ask for much, let alone a title."

"I only wish to follow by your side in the future, to serve at your beck and call, that would be enough."

Luo Yu's brows furrowed, his voice humming with disapproval, "Put away those acting skills of yours, I'm not falling for them."

Zhu Zhuyun stood up, holding her knees, gazing firmly at the man, her eyes flickering.

She took a deep breath.

"Since ancient times, beauties have recognized heroes."

"Perhaps Yun'er is not a beauty, but I recognize you, the hero."

"And the heart of a hero, how can it be something ordinary people could wander into?"

"Therefore, I'm willing to seize this opportunity, bet all that I have for just once, betting that in your future, there might be a place for me."

Luo Yu's eyelids slowly opened, his gaze turning sideways to the woman.

Their eyes met, locking for a long while.

His lips curved upwards.

"You this woman, I underestimated you at first; I didn't expect you to have such audacity, daring to stake your chastity in a wager. Aren't you afraid of regretting it in the future?"

Zhu Zhuyun suddenly laughed.

"If I lose the bet, what if I don't regret it?"

Luo Yu shook his head, chuckling, "Sorry, but that will disappoint you, for I am no hero."

The seductive Zhu Zhuyun seemed completely unfazed by the man's words, blinked her curled eyelashes.

"What Yun'er has, I've given it all to you, it's too late for regrets now,"

"From now on, whether to kill or flay, it's all at your mercy."

Luo Yu looked deeply at the girl, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, I never gave you any poison; it was just a blood-nourishing pill."

"If you want to leave now, I won't stop you; you're free to go."

Zhu Zhuyun was taken aback.

The man's actions were beyond her expectations.

She had thought that she served him very well, that at the very least the man would be captivated by her.

But to let her go so directly?

Does she really have no charm at all?

Zhu Zhuyun bit her red lips, "You'd let me go just like that, aren't you afraid I'll return to the Xingluo Empire to seek revenge?"

Luo Yu's eyebrows raised, his tone playful, "You're welcome to try."

Zhu Zhuyun shook her head repeatedly, "I don't want to try. I've already decided, I'll follow you from now on. That filthy and disgusting empire, I don't want to go back."

Luo Yu shook his head in refusal, "You should go, I won't keep a woman who is adept at schemes by my side."

Zhu Zhuyun's calm and composed face turned pale in an instant, she spoke incoherently, "Master! Please don't send me away, I haven't schemed deliberately; I do like you a bit."

"If you let me go back, and Davis finds out about my current condition, he will definitely kill me!!"

Luo Yu nodded his head, "Fine, I'll keep you here for observation. If you harbor any malicious intent, tsk, you've seen the way I kill."

The air in the bathroom seemed to freeze in an instant, filled with an icy chill.

Images flashed through Zhu Zhuyun's mind, causing her delicate body to shiver.

In just a few words of conversation, she had gained a deeper understanding of Luo Yu's capabilities.

She would never dare harbour any mischievous thoughts in the future.

She came to a conclusion: this man, though seemingly gentle on normal days, actually had a level of dominance that was now apparent.

She could only comply; controlling him was absolutely impossible.

"Yun'er has no ill intentions and only wishes to assist you wholeheartedly from now on."

"That would be very good."

Luo Yu nodded in satisfaction, the coldness on his face receding as if it had never been there, a gentle smile spilling from the corners of his mouth.

"If you are dutiful from now on, I won't mistreat you; you might even earn an official status."

Zhu Zhuyun's heart trembled, her lips parted slightly, just about to say something.

But Luo Yu simply waved his hand, "There's no need for formalities, go get changed."

"Sure thing."

Zhu Zhuyun obediently revealed a sweet smile, her heart feeling as if it were coated in honey.

Luo Yu was very satisfied with this effect.

To deal with a woman as cunning as her, a combination of the stick and the carrot was needed to truly capture her heart.

Otherwise, why would Prince Davis of the Xingluo Empire not have gotten his hands on this beauty in the end? It was because his methods were lacking, ironically benefiting himself instead.

Once both were properly dressed, Luo Yu was about to leave when Zhu Zhuyun pulled at him.

"What is it?" Luo Yu asked.

Zhu Zhuyun shook her head, whispering, "Does my savior have any interest in my sister?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Zhuyun said softly, "My sister, though not good with words, will show passionate warmth if you can penetrate her heart."

Luo Yu was taken aback, "You're here with me and that's fine, but you're not planning on dragging your sister down too, are you?"

"What do you mean by dragging down? It would be her good fortune to be with you." Zhu Zhuyun smiled seductively, her voice sultry, "Master, don't you want to try the service of sisters at the same time?"

Luo Yu's eyes stalled, and he took a sharp breath.

This seductress! Absolutely outrageous.

"Don't worry, I will definitely help you," Zhu Zhuyun offered eagerly, her eyes shining with excitement.

Luo Yu suppressed the wild thoughts in his mind, glanced at her, and coughed, "I advise you not to mess around."

Zhu Zhuyun pouted her red lips, "Yun'er knows the limits and will surely satisfy you."

She then cautioned, "By the way, Master, you mustn't tell her about our relationship. The time isn't right yet."

Luo Yu nearly stumbled, his eyes expressing speechlessness.

Wasn't he a fool? This kind of thing couldn't be exposed to the light.

What exactly was this woman up to? In a moment of impulse, he had taken her in, unsure whether it was good fortune or a curse...

Creak.

The bedroom door opened, and as Luo Yu and Zhu Zhuyun saw the scene in the living room, they were both startled.

Zhu Qing's pretty face was clouded with gloom, her beautiful eyes wide like copper bells and filled with a deadly aura.

The pink sofa she was sitting on had been torn apart, with fluff drifting all around the room.

Zhu Zhuyun was stunned; this shouldn't have happened, how could they have been discovered?

She had clearly held her voice just now, plus the sound of water should have covered it up, how could she possibly have heard?

Luo Yu's heart was shaken. Stiff-faced, he looked at Zhu Qing and said with awkward difficulty, "That... let me explain..."

Zhu Qing's voice was icy, "What do you want to explain to me?"

Luo Yu broke into a cold sweat on his forehead, feeling like a cat that had stolen cream.

Just as he was about to come clean.

The wall behind the sofa suddenly trembled, and the lascivious cries of two women broke through the wall.

"Young Master Bai, you're so strong."

"Slow down a bit, we really can't take it anymore!!!"

Luo Yu's tense expression suddenly turned strange as if he had realized something...
