They were tightly entangled as if to fuse into each other's flesh and blood. The changes in sensory acuity brought about by the absorption and exchange of power were infinitely magnified in the quiet sea of spiritual consciousness.
The female's spiritual consciousness is undoubtedly gentle and tolerant. Although she feels the invasion of another spiritual force, she still restrains her instinct to embrace and accept it.
The man held Yu Nian's hand, inserted his fingers into each other's, and interlocked their fingers.
The powerful mental strength was restrained from causing any harm. Even though the temptation was close at hand, Bai Yuheng still just restrained himself and leaned on her shoulders and neck.
The warm breath he exhaled caused an itch that was impossible to ignore.
Yu Nian tried her best to ignore the sensitive touch on the side of her neck and guided her mental power to calm the man's mental power.
The sound of rain falling outside was muffled, and it was so gloomy that it was impossible to tell the difference between day and night.
"Okay."
The man said hoarsely.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked down at Yu Nian.
The lavender eyes held tenderness and restraint. "Let's stop here for now and continue next time."
Bai Yuheng raised his hand and gently stroked Yu Nian's forehead, a trace of heartache flashing in his eyes.
Yu Nian had used an excessive amount of mental energy, and for a moment her head felt a dull pain. She leaned on the man's shoulder and asked softly, "What happened? Who drugged you?"
Bai Yuheng stared in thought, "The situation was too chaotic at the time, and there were too many orcs around... I can't accurately tell who did it, but that person was relatively small."
Yu Nian asked, "She's smaller, is she a woman?"
Bai Yuheng shook his head: "No, he is very strong, he is definitely not a female."
"Is that a younger male orc?"
Bai Yuheng didn't say anything, obviously having some concerns.
Yu Nian didn't urge him, but just squeezed his hand and said, "Carry me to the bed, I'm a little tired."
She yawned, and tears of sleepiness wet the corners of her eyes.
Bai Yuheng held her like a child, laid her steadily on the bed and tucked the quilt in tightly. "It's getting late, go to bed early."
The bedside light was turned off, and Yu Nian's sight suddenly disappeared.
"Then where are you going? How do you feel now?" Yu Nian opened her eyes slightly in the dark night, trying to see more clearly, but she could only barely see the man's outline.
Bai Yuheng sat beside the bed and patted her pillow gently, "I'm not leaving, you go to sleep first."
The soft silver hair drooped slightly and brushed Yu Nian's eyelashes. She blinked and turned her face away.
"Don't worry about me, you should worry about Han Chen."
Yu Nian's sleepiness was instantly awakened. "Is Han Chen in bad condition?"
"I feel that his aura is not stable. When you entered the hospital, he may have directly inhaled too much gas, and the impact must be quite serious." Bai Yuheng knew that telling Yu Nian about this now would undoubtedly make her worried, but she should know about it.
Yu Nian stood up and was about to get out of bed, but the man grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't worry, there's no danger for now. His mental strength is only level A, so the disease won't spread quickly. You can get some sleep first. It won't be too late to visit him tomorrow."
Yu Nian was still too worried, "No, I still need to see it in person to feel at ease."
The man sighed softly and said, "If you go there tonight and the person who drugged you sees you, wouldn't that alert the enemy?"
"Now he is in the dark and we are in the light. If we want to change the situation, we must reverse each other's positions." Bai Yuheng narrowed his eyes slightly, his fox eyes raised, cold and beautiful. He stroked Yu Nian's wrist, and the beating pulse under his palm accompanied by the faint sound of blood flowing made him lick the protruding animal fangs.
He moved his body calmly and said with a steady breath, "But on this matter, I still need Nian Nian's cooperation."
"How do you say that?"
"Among the male orcs traveling with us at the time, besides Han Chen and me, there were the remaining guards, a total of eight people. But surprisingly, not a single one of them escaped from the disaster victims. Doesn't Nian Nian find it suspicious?"
Yu Nian thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. "Han Chen pulled me out from among the victims at that time. Maybe that's why he didn't fall victim to that person's murderous hand."
Bai Yuheng nodded: "Yes, this time I can disguise myself as your guard, and we will go out of the city together tomorrow. No matter who his target is, he will not miss such a good opportunity."
"It was because I was not prepared that he succeeded. This time I will not let him go." The man's voice was calm, as if he was saying that the weather was a little chilly today. Yu Nian even felt that the temperature on her wrist was a little cold.
As if he noticed something was wrong with Yu Nian, the man said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, it's getting late today, you should go to bed early."
Yu Nian leaned back, crawled into the quilt and closed her eyes.
She originally thought that the Imperial Master was a beautiful woman, but after getting to know him, she felt that this was not the case...
Is it because the novel’s perspective is from the heroine’s perspective?
Yu Nian thought about random things for a while, and perhaps because she was too tired during the day, she fell asleep soon after closing her eyes.
In the dark night, the man's eyes fell softly on her sleeping face, and finally he gave her a gentle kiss.
Yu Nian was still a little dazed when she woke up. She slept so soundly that she didn't even dream.
She turned her head and looked inside the house, but did not see the man.
Maybe he has returned to his own hotel?
Yu Nian lifted the quilt and got up. While washing up in the bathroom, she heard a knock on the door. She went to open the door with toothpaste in her mouth.
"Your Highness..." Bai Yuheng obviously didn't expect Yu Nian to come and open the door for him like this.
Yu Nian had messy long hair and was wearing thin pajamas. She was standing at the door holding a toothbrush. When she saw Bai Yuheng, her brain froze for a moment.
The door closed with a "click".
The strong wind caused the man's long silver hair to flutter.
Bai Yuheng stood at the door, maintaining the same posture and expression. Suddenly he chuckled twice, then changed his stance and stood leaning against the door.
When Yu Nian opened the door again, it was ten minutes later. She was standing at the door wearing a casual floral dress and carrying a cute little leather bag.
She gave a sweet smile and said, "Good morning, Imperial Master."
"Good morning, Your Highness." Bai Yuheng smiled slightly, and it was obvious that they had tacitly forgotten what had just happened.
The two of them arrived at the restaurant next to the hall, one in front and the other behind.
Seeing that there were a wide variety of breakfast options, Yu Nian couldn't help but take some more. When she finished eating, she looked at the pastries on the table and felt that she couldn't eat any more, but she also felt guilty for wasting food.
She rubbed her bulging belly, thinking about the possibility of stuffing something more into her stomach, when she saw a slender hand pick up the pastry. "Your Highness, do you mind if I eat a few?"
Yu Nian immediately shook her head, but when she saw Bai Yuheng's face covered with silk again, she said, "I don't mind, I don't mind."
