Cao Liangjei

Cao Liangjei stiffened as he stared at the lady standing in front of her. His entire face paled upon seeing the young, beautiful woman.

It could be said that he regretted ever meeting this beautiful yet dangerous woman, but at the same time, he didn't think he would ever be able to live without having this woman hidden in the depths of his heart. Whenever he thought about that fateful day, his expressions would transform from red to blue and finally would end up getting paled up.

That night, a year ago, he was merely taking a stroll around the place when he saw a few people cornering a young woman in a dark alley. It was a typical scene, especially when it came to a woman walking about in the middle of the night.

Thus, he didn't think much about it and directly barged inside and kicked those men away. He glared at them and said righteously, "You, how dare you treat a woman like this? Don't you have some shame?!"

Since it was darkness everywhere, he didn't get to see what kind of complexion the girl had. Honestly, ever since a child, he had been taught that the demons didn't deserve any sort of respect. Thus, even if they were getting raped or even murdered, the imperial soldiers should do nothing to protect them. In fact, protecting these demons was a greater offense than torturing an ordinary person.

Thus, even though the demons were killed, raped, and made slaves for the rest of their lives, no one would really take their sides no matter what. He knew this from birth and despite feeling something was wrong with this thought process, he continued to follow through the words without realizing what he was doing.

So if he knew the person they were raping was actually a demoness, he wouldn't have stepped forward knowing what and who she actually was! He would have forced himself to endure his emotions and ignore them, walking forward.

Perhaps, he wouldn't have to live with mixed emotions in the future, constantly engaged in the thoughts of that lady.

After seeing such a righteous fellow, the street men laughed and spat on the ground, saying, "You're actually protecting a demoness? That's new. What, is she your thing?"

Thing?

Demoness?

The fourth prince's face suddenly changed, but he still stood on the ground.

Since things had already progressed to this state, he might as well go all out and protect the lady. Perhaps this way. He might be able to get rid of the guilt of ignoring the condition of the demons all this time.

He pursed his lips and said, "So what? I don't like anyone getting raped despite their race."

"Sure~" The man at the front laughed and said, "Then mister, you are committing a grave offense by saving her. Are you sure you want to stop us?"

Just as Cao Liangjei wanted to speak up for the girl behind him, he felt her hand on her shoulders, making him frozen at the place. She walked closer to him and whispered, "Thank you, but let me be. This is my punishment, and this is my fate. I don't need your help."

After that, she pushed the man away with all her effort as she leaned back. She looked at the men with a trace of coldness floating in her eyes as she smirked. "What are you looking at? Wasn't this what you wanted?"

So basically, since the public would have blamed the fourth prince for saving a demoness, thus committing a greater offense. The lady knew that her fate as a demoness was sealed the moment she was born, and she didn't want a kind-hearted person to fall into the pool of abyss just because of her.

She had seen what happens to those who stand up for the demons. Their fates would be worse than those of the demonic beings: they would be sentenced to death just for saving a demon and treating them as humans.

Thus, she decided on her own that she didn't want the man's help as she walked ahead, showing off her naked body to those people. The fourth prince was dumbfounded as a trace of anger filled his bones. He didn't really know what he did in a daze, but by the time he realize what had happened, he had already beaten those people to death as a pale-faced young woman with a golden complexion stood there with a trace of astonishment floating in her eyes.

Her entire body was still naked as she stood there frozen. Her robe hung on the side of her hands as she looked at the scene with her eyes wide opened and gaping mouth.

Fourth prince's eyes flashed as his cheeks grew red. He averted his eyes and walked forward, closing the ends of her robes without glancing at her twice. Then he said while still blushing from ear-to-ear, "Take care, miss."

"Wait a minute!" The demoness was so shocked that she didn't think twice before grabbing the man's wrist directly and spoke, "You….. Why did you do it?"

The fourth prince finally turned around to glance at the woman's ethereal body that shone brighter than the moon. She looked more enchanting than several cupids that shot arrows one after another, making it throb faster than ever.

It could be said that it was now that he understood the real reason why they called the demon race dangerously attractive. A single glance at the demoness and he was already feeling his heart jumping like a little, anxious rabbit who had suddenly turned crazy for the attention of the woman.

He could feel his breath getting faster as he stared at her form, and without even realizing what he did, he directly lowered his head and kissed the woman's lips.

The woman's shocked state of mind leaped up to another level as her hand's grip on her dress loosened as she stood there, frozen. Her robes flew open as a gust of wind passed through her body, making her shiver.

Cao Liangjei had already realized that he wasn't doing anything right, but he couldn't help it. His heart was already falling into the depths of the ocean in the form of this woman, and since he had already kissed her, he couldn't do anything else about it.

Thus, he brazenly put his arms around her waist, pulling her closer so much so that her breasts touched his firm body as he tilted his head and deepened the kiss.
