"Hmm?...Ugh!" Before Ji Fengyao could react, she was hugged and pressed against the inner wall of the bathtub by a certain big bad wolf prince, who leaned down and sealed her lips with his.

His gentle and captivating eyes, steamed with hot water and tinged with a beautiful blush from suppressed pain, resembled a delicate beauty in the misty rain of spring, rare and alluring.

Ji Fengyao seemed to see the past again:

"Why doesn't Master kiss me anymore? In the past, when I learned the new elixir, Master always liked to kiss me."

"My little darling has grown up and can't be touched by just anyone."

"But Master is no ordinary person."

“Master is a man, and Xiaojiao is a woman. Master should respect the separation between men and women with Xiaojiao.”

"Then I want to be a man too, so there won't be any separation between men and women, and we can kiss!"

Then, the young and innocent Yun Yao, just beginning to grow up, took the initiative for the first time to ask her master for a kiss as a reward.

At that time, what she saw on her master's face was also a delicate, spring-like beauty.

She was overjoyed when she saw it, and she held her master's face and carelessly rubbed it for a long time.

Despite her mischievous behavior, her master never scolded or stopped her, indulging her to the point of being lawless.

Ji Fengyao's heart clenched suddenly, unable to discern the nature of the feeling that had suddenly surged within her.

It's a little sour, a little sweet, and a little painful.

If she had known they would be separated for so long, she should have pestered her master every day and made suggestive advances.

Wait, thin and light?!

Ji Fengyao was startled by this sudden thought, only then realizing that she seemed to have unconsciously responded to a certain prince.

"..."

This is so embarrassing!

Upon discovering that a certain wolfish prince's hand was lifting her clothes and slipping inside, Ji Fengyao quickly blushed and grabbed him, saying, "Enough!"

"Not enough," the prince grumbled like a puppy, caught up in his excitement.

Ji Fengyao: "...If you keep making trouble, that's going too far!"

"How about the princess pinches me again, and then I'll retaliate?" The prince shamelessly approached and coaxed softly.

Ji Fengyao: "!"

Damn it, you four secret guards, hurry up and bring your master's mask over here.

Your prince has lost all face!

Receiving the little bandit's serious, angry look, Shang Xiye, though extremely reluctant, dared not continue his mischief. He could only suppress his anger, pretending that he had indeed made a joke, and helped her get up from the bathtub.

After Ji Fengyao went outside, she discovered an even more embarrassing problem: this was not Hui Nuan Pavilion, and there were no clothes for her to change into.

"Wear my clothes first, they're in the closet at the foot of the bed." Shang Xiye could feel the little bandit's embarrassment just by looking at her petite and slender back, and chuckled.

"If you dare to come and peek, I'll gouge out your eyes!" Ji Fengyao said fiercely before fleeing again.

If this had happened two months ago, Shang Xiye would have shut him down with a single sentence.

But now:

"Then Your Highness would better hurry up. Now that you've reminded me, I'm actually quite eager to see it."

Ji Fengyao: "!"

I regret not cherishing that aloof and self-possessed prince back then. Look at what he's become now!

What could have caused his style to suddenly change like this, running headlong down the path of silliness and shamelessness without looking back?

At the same time, Hui Nuan Pavilion was plagued by snakes.

At the Anping Marquis's residence, the windows of Ji Chenhai and Ji Fengming were knocked on almost simultaneously.

The father and son got up and went outside, but they didn't see anyone. They only found a beautiful moon-white stone on the ground, which was obviously placed at their door to lure them out to retrieve it.
