The noblewoman’s heart was a mess, frantic beyond measure.
Although she had already decided to set aside her dignity that night, offering her body to Zhang Xiaoshan in exchange for a chance to leave—
But, that was still her precious chastity.
Moreover, as a high and mighty young mistress, the man claiming her virginity had to be a prince on a white horse, not a country bumpkin. Why should she indulge in fleeting pleasures with him?
Thinking of Wei Bao’s cruel methods, she had no choice but to submit.
She let go of her hands covering her chest, closed her eyes, and waited for the ravaging storm.
The next second, she felt pain at her collarbone and opened her eyes.
Then she saw Zhang Xiaoshan holding a large spider emanating faint blue light in his hand.
"This critter is a water spider. A bite won’t be fatal, but the bitten area will swell for several days. Lucky for you I found it early, it hadn’t bitten you yet."
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan threw it to the ground and stomped it dead.
"Alright, I’m going home now."
"You should head back soon too. Remember, wait for my message. Don’t act recklessly anymore. If Wei Bao suspects anything, even if I wanted to rescue you, I would be powerless to do so."
"I understand, but you..."
The noblewoman had something to say, but her pretty face turned rosy, and she hesitated, too embarrassed to speak directly.
Zhang Xiaoshan turned to look at her, his gaze frivolous, as if deliberately teasing the woman.
The noblewoman finally clenched her teeth and said.
"Am I so terrible that both times I offered myself to you, you just ignored me? Even though I’m in dire straits now, I’m not that bad, am I? The way you’re acting feels somewhat insulting..."
Zhang Xiaoshan chuckled.
"You’re really interesting. You’re adamant about not giving in to Wei Bao, but when I don’t touch you, you feel aggrieved."
"How could that be the same..." The noblewoman’s face flushed red with Zhang Xiaoshan’s words, as if she was some eager harlot.
"I know what you’re thinking. You feel I’m not worthy of you, that even if I had your body now, not only would you not submit to me, but you’d also find me despicable. Sharing joys is supposed to be a wonderful thing. Why make it so disharmonious?"
"What I want is for you to kneel before me willingly and give me..."
"You, you’re shameless."
Zhang Xiaoshan left his sentence unfinished, but the noblewoman knew exactly what he meant, feeling her face flush and her heart race with embarrassment.
"Willingly, you, how could I possibly willingly do such things with you? I gave you the chance, and you didn’t cherish it. There will be a time when you beg me."
"Heh, we’ll see about that."
Zhang Xiaoshan strode away with large steps.
"How could I possibly willingly give myself to someone like you, a bumpkin?"
The noblewoman watched Zhang Xiaoshan’s careless retreat, inwardly sneering, and then stealthily made her way toward Wei Bao’s house.
Because of his unexpected encounter with the noblewoman, Zhang Xiaoshan was delayed and got home around ten at night.
Just as he opened the door, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Zhang Xiaoshan was startled.
"Little Shan, you’re back. Auntie Meili has been waiting for you for a long time." Yu Xiuxiu was relieved to see Zhang Xiaoshan return home safely.
But Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart began to race with anxiety.
Luo Meili coming to his house herself, could she be here to complain to Yu Xiuxiu? Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝙣𝙚𝙩
Thinking of the crazy things he had done with Luo Meili last time, Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly panicked.
