The man's heart stirred slightly. He lowered his head a little and looked at her closely. A faint scent of wine wafted onto his cheek along with her slightly rapid breathing.

Seeing the fire blazing in the man's eyes, Shi Lan hurriedly pushed him away.

The man smiled as he looked at her playful little hand resting on his chest. He was somewhat tempted and grabbed it, gently caressing it.

The body that Shi Lan possessed this time was truly as smooth as cream, as soft and tender as a baby's, as white and delicate as porcelain. Moreover, the surface of her skin was coated with something, giving it a glazed sheen that made it irresistible to touch. The man rubbed her hands and arms repeatedly, as if addicted, his eyes seemingly coated with a layer of light, making them indistinct.

A subtle, tingling sensation spread through her palm, a ticklish feeling that seeped right into her heart. Something strange was amiss with Shi Lan, making her waver and lose focus. But Shi Lan had been through a lot, and she wasn't one to be controlled by instinct. She only swayed for a moment before snapping back to reality and struggling to stay awake.

Shi Lan's repeated kicks and struggles were taken as mere posturing by the man, who casually pulled her back down with one hand. Shi Lan, who had just managed to sit up, was easily pushed back down.

Feeling the firm muscles of her back and chest, Shi Lan's face turned even redder, but she was unwilling to give up and continued to work hard.

The man seemed to be losing patience. He leaned close to her ear and chuckled softly, his voice low and husky, yet carrying a hint of threat, "Be good, or I'll get angry."

Upon hearing this, Shi Lan's body instantly stiffened.

Shi Lan was surprised, but the timing was wrong. She couldn't receive the memories and was completely in the dark. She could only grit her teeth and endure the waves of revulsion in her heart.

The man continued to play with her hands, occasionally pinching her arm, as if he were treating her like a large doll, touching and pinching her here and there, having a great time.

Shi Lan endured the ordeal with exceptional difficulty. Just as she was about to explode from the brink of losing her temper, a scraping sound of armor clashing came from outside the door. Someone reported, "Reporting to the Grand Commander, General Yunhui requests an audience."

The man looked up, frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Let him in."

Shi Lan was too embarrassed to let anyone see her in such an awkward situation, so she struggled. The man frowned but ultimately didn't force her to stay.

Shi Lan tried to get up, supporting herself on her weak arms, but she couldn't muster any strength. It was only after the man couldn't bear to see her like this that he helped her up.

Shi Lan was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, her face turning so red it was almost bleeding. The man seemed very pleased, squinting his eyes and revealing his neat white teeth.

The sound of fabric rustling came from outside the door. Shi Lan gave a slight curtsy and hurriedly pushed her way out. (To be continued.)
