Lying on the soft, large bed with a velvet quilt is a woman of stunning beauty. Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her skin is as white as snow, her nose is delicate, and her lips are naturally red and luscious. Her long, black hair is spread out on the white pillow.
She looked like she was sleeping restlessly, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, making one want to smooth out the wrinkles between them.
Opening her eyes, Xia Linyin looked down at the chains on the headboard, following her wrists. The chains rattled as she moved. The handcuffs on her wrists were thoughtfully covered with a layer of velvet to prevent her from chafing her skin, but what was this all about?
Does Xiao Li intend to imprison her?
A collar was also placed around her neck, with a bell hanging from it. Even the slightest movement would cause the bell to ring, jingling and reminding Xia Linyin of its presence.
"Sister, you're awake." Xiao Li walked into the room carrying a tray with hot milk and bread on it.
The steaming milk is emitting a rich and pleasant aroma.
Xia Linyin looked at him expressionlessly. "What do you mean by this? Imprisonment? Xiao Li, tell me, what do you take me for?"
Xiao Li did not answer Xia Linyin's question, but simply placed the tray on the table and said gently, "Are you hungry, sister?"
Xia Linyin angrily tugged at the collar around her neck. "And what's the meaning of this bell? Is it for a pet?"
Xiao Li sat down by the bed, picked up the milk and held it to Xia Linyin's lips, "Sister, drink."
Xia Linyin turned her head away. "Is it really necessary to do this?"
"If you don't want me to feed you with my mouth, then drink it yourself."
Xia Linyin pursed her lips. "I need to wash up."
Xiao Li reached out and stroked the chain. As if by magic, the metallic chain grew several meters longer. Seeing Xia Linyin's undisguised surprise, he smiled slightly. "I can handle this little thing. If you like, I can even create a world for you."
He picked up Xia Linyin and carried her to the bathroom in the bedroom, squeezed out the toothpaste, and handed her the toothbrush.
Xia Linyin glared at him resentfully, then took the toothbrush and angrily began brushing her teeth.
Three days later—
A roar erupted from inside the room, "Three days! A full three days! Xiao Li, how long do you intend to lock me up?!"
Xiao Li held Xia Linyin's shoulder, "I will let you go when you stop thinking about running away."
"I won't run away, Xiao Li, please let me go," Xia Linyin said, looking at him.
Xiao Li stared intently at her with deep eyes until he saw Xia Linyin's unease, then he uttered two words, "Lying."
Xiao Li picked up the rice porridge from the side, scooped up a spoonful with a porcelain spoon, blew on it, and then held it to Xia Linyin's lips. "Sister, open your mouth."
Xia Linyin suddenly waved her hand, knocking over the rice porridge. The porcelain bowl shattered on the ground, and the steaming porridge spilled all over the floor.
Xiao Li got up, grabbed a clean towel, and gracefully bent down to wipe away the rice porridge that had splashed onto Xia Linyin.
Xia Linyin waved her hand away from Xiao Li's touch, her entire body seemingly showing strong resistance.
Xiao Li threw off the towel, suddenly grabbed Xia Linyin's wrist, and pressed her firmly onto the bed.
Her long, silver hair, gleaming like platinum, fell beside Xia Linyin's face.
Xiao Li held down Xia Linyin's struggling wrist and slowly moved upwards, intertwining their fingers, giving Xia Linyin the feeling of being entangled by vines.
With blood-red eyes fixed intently on Xia Linyin, and a churning magma seemingly rising in the depths of her gaze, Xiao Li said coldly, "Sister, you shouldn't have tried to escape."
Black wings spread out from behind, and the resulting gale blew all the furniture in the room overturned.
Xia Linyin felt that Xiao Li was really dangerous at this moment. His blood-red eyes and black wings were terrifying and made her soul tremble.
It was as if one were facing an evil, handsome demon that wanted to devour one's soul.
After biting Xia Linyin's lips hard, Xiao Li suddenly got out of bed, slammed the door, and left the bedroom.
Outside the ornate iron gate, which was covered with lush green vines, Shangguan Xin, Yin Yichen, and Gao Haichuan hid in a corner.
"My clock can freeze time for five minutes, but based on my experience last time, it's only effective against Rose Killer for two minutes."
Shangguan Xin frowned and shook her head. "I don't know what's going on either. Why can the Rose Killer still move even though time has clearly stopped? He can actually break the shackles of time. It's unbelievable."
"Two minutes..." Yin Yichen pondered, "Although time is tight, it's still worth a try."
"Alright, now grab me." Shangguan Xin nodded and turned on her watch.
In that instant when time seemed to stand still, Yin Yichen grabbed Shangguan Xin and Gao Haichuan and leaped into the courtyard.
He released Shangguan Xin and Gao Haichuan, and wearing shoes that looked like fire wheels, he rushed towards the villa like a shooting star.
Shangguan Xin and Gao Haichuan followed closely behind. After entering the house, Gao Haichuan asked Yin Yichen, who had already walked around the villa, "How was it?"
Yin Yichen shook his head and said, "He's not here. I only saw Xiaoyin. You two go first, I'll go and bring Xiaoyin out."
Upon hearing Yin Yichen's words, a hint of regret flashed across Gao Haichuan's face, but he didn't linger any longer and rushed outside with Shangguan Xin.
Xia Linyin remained motionless in the moment when time stood still; at that moment, she was preparing to put on her shoes and get out of bed.
With her hands supporting her on the edge of the bed, she bent over slightly and looked at the cotton slippers on the carpet.
After Yin Yichen took out his pistol and broke the silver chain, he carried Xia Linyin on his back and left the villa as fast as lightning.
