Previously, Qin Mo was surrounded by people from the Great Xia or his own followers. He had people he could trust, and his burdens were shared. But after arriving in Xizhou, he had been fighting alone, and the tension in his heart had become too great.
Leif happened to move to Qin Mo's side and began to massage his entire arm. The girl, who had just finished bathing, was only wearing a thin veil, and as the massage was applied, her two rosy nipples trembled slightly.
Qin Mo casually pulled him close, looked at the astonished girl, and asked calmly, "...Are you... willing... to accept my protection?"
Leif's eyes changed, becoming shy yet joyful, and her fair skin turned pink.
“Leve…I do!” Although the girl’s voice trembled, her tone was absolutely firm.
The flame in Qin Mo's heart embraced the two of them. Accompanied by the spring rain outside the window, a soft, sobbing cry of pain made every cell in Qin Mo's body begin to leap with joy.
In the luxurious courtyard a hundred feet away, a look of loneliness appeared on the face beneath the white veil. The lips, once delicate but now ugly, moved slightly and let out a soft sigh.
After a night of torrential rain, the sky cleared up, and Qin Mo, unusually lazy, could hardly remember how wonderful it was to stay in bed in his previous life.
The warm sunlight shone on the fair and slender body beside her. The rosy cheeks of yesterday had faded, and the fine, transparent hairs were clearly visible. Her two delicate eyebrows were furrowed together, clearly indicating that she was still in pain in her sleep, but her two small hands held Qin Mo's arms tightly, not letting go for a moment.
Qin Mo showed no mercy, patting the part of her lower back that was sticking out. "Hey! Get up quickly, we still have things to do!"
The girl opened her eyes groggily, was confused for a moment, and then jumped up like a startled fawn.
"Thump!"
Leif fell to the ground, the intense pain causing her long, straight legs to lose their strength. She tried to stand up in terror, but the pain brought tears to her eyes.
A long, strong arm helped her up, and a pair of obsidian-like eyes stared at her, leaving her at a loss.
Qin Mo helped her put on her clothes, and then she put on her own dress.
"Revere, I know you... aren't feeling well, but you have to come out with me now and do something for others to see!"
"Your Highness... what do you need me to do?... Leif... is willing to do anything!"
Qin Mo smiled and said, "Be my...woman!"
Long, slender arms stretched out, and an encouraging look finally made Leif understand. She stretched out her delicate arms and wrapped them around Qin Mo's arm.
The door opened, and under the watchful eyes of a dozen pairs of people, some seemingly interested and some not, Qin Mo walked out arm in arm with Leif. (To chat with more like-minded people about "Sailing and Conquest," follow "Or" on WeChat to discuss your favorite books with other readers.)
