Luo Jiu suppressed the restlessness in her heart, forced a smile, and said to Zhou Ming:

"What does Young Master Zhou mean by this? Hmm?" Luo Jiu blinked, her eyes seeming to gleam.

Zhou Ming was completely captivated by her, wishing he could pounce on her and take her right there and then. Her seductive look was utterly alluring. A woman like this should be writhing and submitting to a man's pleasure...

It's a pity it's a wildflower, prickly at best. But... so what? Just pull out all the thorns, and it'll be fine...

"Miss Luo, you're really being naughty!"

Zhou Ming slowly moved to Luo Jiu's side. With his hands, he gently, very gently stroked Luo Jiu's fair and slender ankles. He moved upwards little by little; the touch was simply wonderful…

She truly is the woman I've been unable to forget for so long...

Zhou Ming stared at Luo Jiu's ankle and muttered, "You, you won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences. If you had done this to me last night, and served me well, I guarantee I would have come to marry you in style the next day, and made you my ninth concubine..."

Why would I need to knock you out and bring you here?

But... it's okay! I like it this way, all prickly...

Seeing you and Xu Shaojun so intimately yesterday really made me feel uncomfortable. Why don't you give me a kiss too, and make me feel comfortable? Maybe then I'll untie all these tangled ropes binding you?

What do you say?

Zhou Ming's eyes were fiery and blatant, disgusting to behold. And that hand that kept climbing upwards made Luo Jiu want to chop it off and feed it to the dogs!

-007, is there any cheat code that can chop this man's pig's trotters off?

[I'm sorry, Master. It's rather illogical that this scumbag died so suddenly, along with everyone else in the house, without a trace.]

-By the way, could I use that bottle of sleeping potion I got to knock out everyone in this room?

"It's possible, but... your hands are tied... it's a bit difficult..." 007's words were cautious, making Luo Jiu want to hit it!

Could it be that your previous owners all killed you in the same way?

Luo Jiu took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to chop the person in front of her into pieces.

She smiled charmingly and said, "Young master... there are so many people here, it's a bit too much of a hassle for us..."

Her voice was sweet and affectionate, as if she were coaxing a man into submission.

It's no big deal to send the guards out. I'm a grown man, surely I can subdue her?

Besides, I have no interest in showing people restricted content. Such a seductive vixen should be enjoyed by myself alone.

"You all, go out first."

Zhou Ming addressed the two people at the door, then turned to look at Luo Jiu, his expression conveying, "I've fulfilled your request; shouldn't you offer some recognition?"

Luo Jiu suppressed her anger, smiled at him gently, and said softly, "Young Master, please help me untie this."

Seeing his reluctance, Luo Jiu looked at him warily. She then deliberately said, "Does Young Master Zhou fear a weak woman like me? If you don't help me untie this, how can I..."

Luo Jiu deliberately left her words unfinished, instead lowering her head. She seemed shy and embarrassed to say it aloud, and a blush slowly crept onto her neck.

Zhou Ming placed his hand on Luo Jiu's leg and gave it a hard squeeze, not moving it away for a moment, as if savoring its smooth texture.
