Xiao Hechuan led Liuyin to another room and gently placed her on the bed. "Get some rest."
"I'll stay here with you."
In his eyes, Liu Yin's actions were more like those of a weak woman who had not yet experienced the world and needed to be carefully protected.
Therefore, the man did not see the strange look in Liu Yin's eyes.
Or perhaps they saw it but didn't want to think about it deeply. In fact, most of the time, people are willing to believe what they want to believe.
Xiao Hechuan was about to leave to deal with the man's body when he was pulled by the corner of his clothes as he turned around.
"I'm a little scared."
Her soft voice trembled slightly, and the man's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
He turned to look at Liuyin sitting on the edge of the bed. Her beautiful face was red at the corners of her eyes, making her look both charming and pitiful.
He suddenly bent down, pinched Liuyin's face, and kissed her urgently.
Their breaths mingled, and Liu Yin raised her hand to hug Xiao Hechuan's neck. Looking at the desire in his eyes, her gaze softened even more.
Xiao Hechuan was indeed a gentleman, but he wasn't exactly a perfect gentleman.
He likes Liuyin, but he also wants to do these things after marriage, but his thoughts and actions often go against each other.
The outer garment that Liuyin had been wearing had long since fallen to the ground, and with the soft sound of the garment hitting the ground, the flickering candlelight suddenly went out.
...
The next morning, Xiao Hechuan got up to go and see the body from the previous night.
He remembered that the man had died right next to the table, but now there was no trace of the body, and even the pool of blood had vanished without a trace.
The body can be disposed of quickly, but the bloodstains can never be cleaned up so quickly.
Driven by his loathing, Xiao Hechuan used the most ruthless method to kill the man.
First, she cut his throat, but left him with a sliver of hope. Then she severed the tendons in his hands and feet.
As blood is lost, men gradually face the fear of death.
That large pool of blood could not possibly have been cleaned up so quickly.
Xiao Hechuan's gaze was fixed on the smooth ground, which was no different from when he first arrived yesterday, as if what happened last night was just a dream.
But he knew that it had actually happened.
Tao He was packing his things downstairs when he saw Xiao Hechuan standing upstairs and looked up to greet him.
"Would you like something to eat, young master?" the old man asked with a smile. "I won't take your money."
Although their town was small, there were many people coming and going, and Tao He had seen the world.
A young man dressed in brocade robes, extremely luxurious attire, was accompanied by a beautiful and delicate girl. There were no servants with them, suggesting that he had had a falling out with his family and had eloped with her.
The Xuanwu Continent has an open-minded culture, so such things are common, and most people want a love that is mutual.
Little did they know that people change as time goes by.
"Shopkeeper, did you clean that room before?" Xiao Hechuan asked in a deep voice.
"No, it was clean when I went to check this morning," Tao He replied. It was so clean that he almost thought what happened last night was a dream.
He then went to check around the man's neighborhood to make sure he hadn't returned since leaving last night, and only then did he feel relieved.
"What happened?"
Xiao Hechuan shook his head. "It's nothing."
"As for breakfast, let's have it later."
After checking, Xiao Hechuan returned to the room. Looking at the sleeping figure on the bed, the coldness on the man's face softened a little.
Whatever happens, as long as it doesn't hurt her, it's fine.
Even without the presence of a companion beast, Xiao Hechuan believed that he could still protect Liuyin.
Even before he acquired his companion beast, his spiritual power was already very strong.
He had actually been gone for some time, but Liuyin still hadn't woken up.
Xiao Hechuan walked quietly to the bedside, removed his clothes, and lay back down on the outer side of the bed.
The man's gaze fell on Liu Yin's slightly flushed face, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
He reached out and put his arm around Liuyin's shoulder, letting her lean against him, and lowered his head to gently inhale the fragrance emanating from her.
During their passionate encounter last night, Xiao Hechuan had a fleeting thought that the fragrance had almost completely enveloped him.
Then, it gradually dripped from his body onto the bed.
The man had gone to bed late last night, but he wasn't sleepy at all; instead, he felt more and more energetic.
However, looking at Liuyin who was fast asleep, Xiao Hechuan felt that he should be patient.
When Liu Yin woke up, it was almost noon. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Hechuan staring intently at her.
"Shouldn't you have been up long ago?" Liuyin asked, yawning.
Xiao Hechuan always got up very early, and Liu Yin thought it would be the same this time.
"I want to wait for you here," the man replied gently, carefully shifting his gaze away.
It's beautiful, but you can't look at it too much.
"Hurry up and get dressed." Xiao Hechuan hurriedly picked up the clothes and piled them in front of Liu Yin. The man's ears were slightly red at this moment.
Liu Yin chuckled softly, but didn't say anything.
Although the town is small, it is a bustling place on the way to Jingzhou.
After dinner, Xiao Hechuan wanted to take Liuyin out for a walk.
When Tao He learned that the two were going to Jingzhou, he just smiled. After all, if a man and a woman were to pass through their area, they would usually be getting married.
That's why he chose to open his shop here.
"It would be inappropriate for the two guests to go now."
