He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife, sweeping across every corner around him, as if he was about to draw his sword and kill someone in the next second.
Xuanyuan Che suddenly sat up and grabbed Chen Xiaoru's neck. "Tell me! Who sent you?"
There was murderous intent in his eyes. Chen Xiaoru was strangled by him and couldn't breathe.
"I...I'm just an ordinary village girl..."
Xuanyuan Che looked at her horrified expression and gradually loosened his grip.
Chen Xiaoru was startled by his sharp gaze and subconsciously shrank back. She swallowed nervously, her hands tightly clenching the corners of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the strain. "This guy is sick! I saved him, and he wants to kill me. What bad luck!"
Xuanyuan Che struggled to sit up, but it agitated his wounds, causing him to gasp in pain and instantly break out in a fine layer of cold sweat on his forehead. He glanced down at his tightly bandaged wound, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He remembered being seriously injured, being chased, and finally running out of energy and passing out. When he woke up, he found himself in a simple thatched hut, his wounds having been treated.
"Oh, a little village girl, you dare to save me? Do you know what the consequences of saving me are?"
Xuanyuan Che's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of weakness, but still revealed an unquestionable majesty. He raised his head slightly and stared at Chen Xiaoru with a burning gaze, as if he wanted to see through her.
Chen Xiaoru felt uncomfortable being looked at by him. She lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye, and answered in a voice as thin as a mosquito:
"I don't know. If I didn't save you, and you died at my doorstep, that would be scary! Besides, I can't just stand by and watch you die!"
Chen Xiaoru's heart was beating like thunder. The man in front of her could take her life at any time. She was still going to give birth to a child for such a cruel man. It was too horrible.
Xuanyuan Che frowned slightly, and he looked carefully at the woman in front of him.
She was wearing a coarse linen dress, with long hair draped over her shoulders. She had a delicate face and a pair of clear, bright eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky. Her face was a little shy and nervous, and she looked like an ordinary peasant girl.
"Who are you? Where is this place?"
Xuanyuan Che spoke again, his tone softened a little, but still with a hint of vigilance.
Chen Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, but answered truthfully:
"My name is Chen Xiaoru, and this is a small village in Dingyuan County. I was...getting ready for bed when I heard a noise at the door and came out to check. I saw you collapsed there, so I rescued you."
As she spoke, she secretly observed Xuanyuan Che's expression.
Xuanyuan Che's expression was unpredictable, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of heat in his body. The part of him that had been unresponsive all this time was filled with an unfamiliar desire, burning madly in his body, making him feel uncomfortable all over. His breathing became rapid and his eyes became blurry.
“Damn it!”
Xuanyuan Che cursed under his breath, he knew he had been drugged.
This was the aphrodisiac that the queen gave him. He originally thought that he could hold on, but he didn't expect the aphrodisiac to be so strong that it would take effect at this time.
He suppressed the heat in his body and tried to stay awake. He knew that if he was controlled by the aphrodisiac, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, his willpower was ultimately unable to resist the erosion of the aphrodisiac. His body grew hotter and hotter, and his consciousness became increasingly blurred. He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and a trace of struggle and pain flashed in his eyes.
Chen Xiaoru noticed something was wrong with Xuanyuan Che. He was flushed, breathing rapidly, his eyes were blurry, and he exuded a burning aura. Although she had never experienced sex, she knew that something was wrong with him.
"You...what's wrong with you? Are you okay? Don't die here!"
Chen Xiaoru asked cautiously, with a hint of worry in her voice.
Xuanyuan Che didn't answer. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Xiaoru's wrist, pulling her to his side. He was so strong that Chen Xiaoru couldn't break free at all.
“Don’t…don’t touch me…”
Chen Xiaoru was panicked. She wanted to break free, but Xuanyuan Che held her tightly.
Xuanyuan Che's body was burning hot, his breathing was rapid, his eyes were filled with desire, like a wild beast that had lost its mind. He lowered his head and kissed Chen Xiaoru's lips, his movements rough and wild, with a hint of despair and madness.
Chen Xiaoru was stunned by his sudden action. She opened her eyes wide and struggled desperately, but to no avail. Her lips were ravaged by him, and a strange breath invaded her mouth, making her feel suffocated.
Her tears burst out, slid down her cheeks and dripped onto Xuanyuan Che's face.
Xuanyuan Che's body stiffened slightly, and he seemed to have regained some sanity. He looked at the tearful woman in front of him, a trace of pain and struggle flashing in his eyes.
However, the aphrodisiac's effects had completely taken over his mind, and he pressed Chen Xiaoru down.
