Three hours later...
Liang Hao looked utterly hopeless, staring blankly up at the starry sky.
Right now, his thoughts are completely muddled, and he's in a state of utter bewilderment.
His bewildered eyes were filled with despair and helplessness, as if his entire worldview had collapsed.
Look at yourself; your clothes are disheveled, and your chest and belly are exposed.
The clothes were full of wrinkles, and the lip prints on the chest were messy, some deep and some light...
Everything seemed to be telling the story of a fierce storm that had just occurred.
His face, chest, arms, and shoulders were covered with lip prints and teeth marks, the varying shades of which spoke volumes about the devastation of the storm that had struck.
Under the starry sky, Liang Hao's figure appeared incredibly lonely and desolate, his tears flowing incessantly, as if they would never stop.
Huang Xiaoting, sitting opposite, remained silent, huddled in the corner, her gaze equally vacant, her mind blank.
Looking back on everything that happened, I can hardly believe it's real.
Her first time, the most precious thing a girl can have, was given away so inexplicably to a man she had only met twice.
Looking at the bloodstains in the grass, a symbol of purity, Huang Xiaoting clenched her teeth, trying hard not to let her tears fall.
The two remained silent...
Deafening!
After a long while, Huang Xiaoting finally couldn't help but speak up: "Hey, say something! What should we do now?"
Liang Hao snapped out of his daze, his face full of grievance: "You're asking me what to do? I'd like to ask you what happened! I just wanted to teach you a lesson and tell you not to be so venomous."
But you actually took my virginity and did it for several hours straight, and now you have the nerve to ask me what to do?
How the hell am I supposed to know what to do?
Huang Xiaoting: "Shouldn't I be the one saying that? I... this is my first time too, and you've ruined my innocence..."
"Didn't you just go crazy? I couldn't push you away no matter what I did."
"But……"
Huang Xiaoting was so anxious she was almost in tears.
"My innocence is gone just like that. Shouldn't you say something to comfort me?"
"I can comfort you, but who the hell is going to comfort me?"
After venting his anger, Liang Hao felt utterly hopeless once again.
Although he tells people all the time that he slept with so-and-so female cultivator and had indescribable relationships with so-and-so.
But that was all bragging; in fact, he had never actually fought in a real battle.
But he never expected that his first time would happen while he was playing in the jungle, and with a woman he hated so much.
He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and was about to yell at Huang Xiaoting when he saw her bury her head in her knees and sob softly.
"What should I do? If my master finds out what happened to me, he will definitely beat me to death. What should I do?"
Her outburst softened Liang Hao's heart, and he could only let out a helpless sigh.
Upon closer inspection, Huang Xiaoting's looks were indeed top-tier among women, and she had a great figure, making her a dream partner for many cultivators, except...
"Hey, why would a girl like you want to learn boxing? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
"Do you think I wanted this? I've lived in my father's shadow since I was a child."
My father would beat my mother and me every time he drank. Eventually, my mother couldn't take the beatings anymore and left home, abandoning me.
So my father would beat me every day to vent his anger, saying I was a good-for-nothing and that he would sell me to a brothel to buy wine when I grew up.
If my master hadn't rescued me when I was seven, I'd be either beaten to death or forced into prostitution.
I started learning boxing to protect myself.
Because that way I can prevent bad men from bullying me; it's a way to protect myself.
After listening to Huang Xiaoting's story, Liang Hao said, "Then there's no need to practice boxing. Improving your own strength is the best way to save your life."
"Of course I know that strength is the best way to save my life, so since I joined the Chunyang Palace..."
I cultivate myself diligently every day so as not to repeat my mother's mistakes and to avoid being bullied by those bad men.
But the brutality of my father during my childhood remains an insurmountable obstacle for me, so I learned to box to bolster my courage.
That's how I relieve my emotions. Actually, I have nightmares every night; you wouldn't understand that feeling.
Liang Hao sighed and said nothing more.
But then Huang Xiaoting said, "Now it's all over, my body is ruined."
The pure Yang energy within the body is definitely not pure; Master will surely notice.
If he presses me for an explanation, I won't know how to answer.
Liang Hao glanced at the fireflies around him, grabbed a few, brought them to his nose and sniffed, then frowned.
"These are the fireflies left behind when the phoenix rose from the ashes. They can awaken the primal wildness within, and they only work on women."
Hearing Liang Hao's explanation, Huang Xiaoting frowned slightly, then gave a bitter smile: "What's the use of saying all this now? What's done is done."
Chunyang Palace values reputation above all else. Even if my master is willing to cover it up for me, the sect leader will not tolerate it.
After all, the effort and resources they expended on me were more than ten times that of ordinary inner disciples.
If they find out that the pure Yang energy within me isn't pure, they'll definitely investigate to the end, and might even... sell me to a place like that..."
"Alright, that's enough. Since it's already happened, I will take full responsibility."
"Once we leave the ancient ruins, I'll personally accompany you to Chunyang Palace to explain things to your master in person, okay?"
At this moment, Liang Hao showed the responsibility that a man should have.
