Xi Ying looked at the scene in front of him which was not so good for his self-control, which he was trying to have on his body at this moment.

A young girl was sitting on the floor of the room in front of him. Her cheeks were flushed red. Her black hair was falling on her slender waist. Her clothes were drenched; he didn't know in water or sweat.

Yet the thing which attracted him was not her soft, smooth pale white skin but her eyes. He didn't know why he couldn't look away from those beautiful and clean eyes which were like black grapes.

As he took slow steps towards her, he saw confusion and fear growing in them. When he was four steps away from her, she suddenly stood up from the ground. He saw her stepping away from himself.

"Who are you?"

Her voice was very hoarse yet very soft. She said her words while panting.

The heat he had suppressed with his internal energy was rising again and this time with high waves.

Who was he? No one had asked him this before or rather he should say everyone knew who he was.

~*~*~**~*~*

Li Rui looked at the man in front of her. From his clothes, it looked like he was from a noble family. She doubted if he was also sent by Princess Wenling to kill her. She knew that Princess Wenling didn't like her so she could not expect any kindness from her subordinates.

Looking around herself to see anything with which she could save herself, she stumbled towards the window. If she could not save herself then she would kill herself rather than giving anyone satisfaction of torturing her.

But that was all the energy she was left with. Hence she could not even reach the window. Before she could fall on the floor again, strong masculine arms surrounded her waist in a tight grip.

When Xi Ying touched her waist, he could feel the softness of her body as well as the heat emitting from her skin. He looked at her face closely.

At this moment, he was sure that she was drugged with an aphrodisiac just like him. He frowned looking at her condition. It seemed like a lot of time has passed already since she was drugged. Her eyes were closing but she was trying hard to remain conscious. He gently picked her in his arms and laid her on the bed.

"Le...Leave Me"

She tried to get up from the bed. He tightly held her body in his arms. But due to her continuous protests, her soft body rubbed with his hard one. Gritting his teeth, he said in the most gentle tone he had ever used.

"Don't move. You are drugged."

All of her protests stopped suddenly. And her hands fell in his lap. She was unconscious. The eyes which he was looking at a few moments were closed.

For the first time in his life, he panicked. He was a martial artist. Therefore, his body could survive through the outcomes of the drug. But looking at her thin and frail frame in his arms, he was sure that it would harm her to a great extent if she didn't get .....what was needed.

A thought came to his mind. He looked again at her. The more he looked at her, the more his thoughts became firm.

Caressing her face gently with his hands, he wondered if she would forgive him for what he was going to do. But it didn't matter to him now.

What mattered most to him was saving the girl in front of him.
