When Su Yujiao saw that he had stripped her naked, she immediately closed her eyes.
"Are you shy?"
"We've been married for so long, what haven't we seen?"
"Aren't you uncomfortable taking a bath with your clothes on?"
Su Yujiao stood up abruptly, splashing water everywhere: "I didn't say I wanted to wash!"
"Keep it down, or people will think we're having a big fight."
He looked at her with a mischievous grin, and with a sudden pull, he drew her into his arms, and the two of them pressed tightly together.
"Let me go."
"Lu Ziqian, I'm really getting angry."
"I haven't forgiven you yet, I... umm..."
The man's hot lips pressed against her soft lips, pried open her pearly teeth, and chased and played with her, conquering and plundering her.
His hands, through the damp fabric, teased her sensitive spots...
With his other hand around the woman's slender waist, he pressed down hard, and the two were pressed tightly together.
Amidst the lush steam, Su Yujiao's face was flushed, and her body was as soft as spring water as she leaned gently against the man's chest.
Her initial struggles and resistance turned into her actively responding by hooking her arms around his neck.
Looking at the woman's emotional expression, Lu Ziqian's lips curled slightly. He always knew how to easily please her.
He had been holding back for a year, and so had she. He had needs, and so did she.
It was just that her modesty made her restrain her desires.
He wasn't going to hold back; if he kept it all in, he wouldn't be a man.
The man kissed her cheeks gently and tenderly, then her beautiful neck, her collarbone, and finally lingered on her ear.
Do you like it this way?
"I haven't satisfied you for a year. When you're feeling lonely in your secluded room, have you thought of me... hmm?"
Su Yujiao turned her face away, too ashamed to look at him.
Looking at his wife in his arms, her clothes disheveled and her chest exposed, Lu Ziqian mischievously lowered his head and gave her a light bite.
Soft, restrained moans escaped from between her teeth, making the listener feel incredibly shy.
I think of you every night.
"I want to pin you down and bully you hard."
"I want to hear you cry and beg for mercy..."
I want to hold you as I fall asleep...
He whispered explicit and direct sweet nothings in her ear, making the woman blush.
"Would you like to try being in the water? I've heard it's a different feeling."
Su Yujiao looked at the man's wicked smile, not daring to look at him, and whispered, "I'm sleepy, I'm going back to sleep."
Lu Ziqian held her tightly, gently pecking her blushing face a few times: "Do you think I'd let you go now?"
"Be good, stop being so coy, be bolder, just like that night on the snow mountain, you felt comfortable too, didn't you?"
Su Yujiao quickly covered her ears when she heard him start spouting lewd remarks again.
Lu Ziqian stopped teasing her and picked her up, carrying her to the bed.
He did want to try it in the water, but the tub was too small. It was fine for cuddling and hugging, but not enough for him to really move around.
That night, he was unrestrained, taking her again and again until she fell into a deep sleep.
He was like a satiated beast, pulling her into his arms, kissing her forehead, and looking at his wife's beautiful sleeping face, the smile on his lips was so wide that he didn't even realize it himself.
All he knew was that he wished he could meld her into his very bones, become one with her, and never be separated from her for all eternity.
The next day, Su Yujiao slept until the sun was high in the sky before waking up.
When she got out of bed, her legs were still sore and trembling. The woman cursed, "What an animal!"
They used all their fighting strength on her.
When Su Yujiao was washing her face, she saw her reflection in the copper basin and the hickey on her neck.
Her skin was extremely fair, and the red and purple marks stood out starkly against her snow-white complexion.
Su Yujiao frowned, cursing Lu Ziqian countless times in her mind.
She also scolded herself for not being able to resist the temptation and for going to bed with him in a daze.
It's always the same; when he wants it, she simply can't refuse.
She splashed cold water on her face, which was red from the heat. The absurdity of last night was nothing more than adult men and women satisfying each other's physical needs.
He doesn't love her, and she won't forgive him.
Well, it won't change anything. Go back and ask for the imperial decree for reconciliation.
Su Yujiao tidied herself up before leaving the tent. She expected to be met with many strange looks, given the commotion she had caused last night.
Unexpectedly, everyone in the military camp was so tense that no one paid any attention to her.
"What happened?"
"The enemy has attacked again?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw several soldiers escorting Chen Yunniang past her.
Chen Yunniang also saw her, and even noticed the ambiguous marks on her neck that she couldn't hide.
Chen Yunniang and her maid were insanely jealous, and Xiao He even cursed, "You slut, you've only just arrived and you're already trying to seduce the general!"
Ever since Chen Yunniang said she would elevate her to the rank of concubine, she considered herself Lu Ziqian's woman.
Sometimes, when she saw Mo Hua following Lu Ziqian, she would feel jealous.
Now, seeing Su Yujiao who had just been "nourished," he was even more insanely jealous.
"Run!"
The soldiers behind them shoved and pushed the two of them toward the city gate.
Su Yujiao frowned: "Where are they going?"
"The Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang led an army of 100,000 to force the general to hand over Chen Yunniang."
"After discussing it with the city king, the general decided to let her go."
"Southern Xinjiang?"
"Why did the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang take Chen Yunniang away?" Su Yujiao was completely bewildered.
When did Chen Yunniang become so important?
To save her, it escalated to a standoff between the two countries?
"I've heard she's a holy maiden from the Southern Frontier!"
"What?"
Su Yujiao laughed speechlessly; this was just too melodramatic.
How did Chen Yunniang become a saintess of southern Xinjiang?
Is this really the real world?
This is too... fantastical!
Chen Yunniang grew up in her family, and she knew better than anyone whether she was a human or a ghost.
This is absolutely outrageous!
If the Southern Frontier truly recognizes her as a saintess, then Chen Yunniang's game will be revived!
Even the emperor cannot easily touch her, otherwise the two countries will go to war.
How come she's so lucky? She's like an unkillable cockroach.
The city gates opened, and Su Yujiao watched helplessly as Chen Yunniang and her servant crossed the gates and disappeared.
Meanwhile, Chen Yunniang was terrified by the sight of the overwhelming army pressing in, her face paling and her heart filled with unease.
The Southern Frontier Kingdom went to such great lengths to rescue her; surely it wasn't to burn her alive?
Their holy maidens are meant to bless their people, not to be sacrificed to the gods, right?
With the road ahead unknown, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and move forward.
Nan Sheng dismounted, placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and then personally escorted her to a luxurious sedan chair.
Lu Ziqian watched as the Southern Frontier Kingdom's army retreated before withdrawing his troops and descending from the city wall.
"Let me help you grind it; your hands aren't strong enough."
Lu Ziqian snatched the tools from Su Yujiao's hands and began to carefully grind the medicinal powder.
"Are you very free?"
"Yes, that's why I came to help you."
"You should rest; you were exhausted last night."
Upon hearing this, the people in the camp paused for a moment, then resumed their work, only bowing their heads even lower.
