Chapter 22 Little Nuo, please don't cry.

The girl stood in the pool, completely soaked. Her purple strapless dress clung tightly to her skin, outlining her perfect figure.

Jiang Nuo was really angry.

This dangerous man has the ability to see into other people's hearts and weaknesses, making him impossible to guard against.

Just as Xuan Yan said before, in front of him, there is no way to pretend, you are completely naked, and no one would like this feeling of being naked, right?
She took a deep breath, suppressing her thoughts: "Did the Palace Master come so suddenly to give you something?"

Xuan Yan got up and walked closer. His face was pale, his beauty mark was crimson, and his eyes contained a hint of brilliance.

Finally, he stood by the pool, laughing unrestrainedly: "Little thing, if you're not good, there's no need to pretend to be. Behind your gentleness lies endless cunning and scheming. You can't fool me."

The girl in the pool has a graceful figure, and her thin skirt makes her beauty even more ethereal.

Seeing the man approach, she instinctively took a few steps back in the water, as if to maintain a safe distance from him.

Her voice held a hint of stubbornness: "Is that so? You think you really see through me? Actually, what you see is just what I want you to see."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yan chuckled softly.

Ha, this little thing, still so stubborn.

However, as Xuan Yan approached and his vision became clearer through the mist, he glanced at the girl, and as if he had noticed something, he frowned slightly.

The atmosphere in the air also dropped sharply.

"Wow—"

A loud splashing sound rang out, and Jiang Nuo felt as if she had lost control of her body. Instead, a force pulled her toward the edge of the pool, and toward the direction where Xuan Yan was.

Xuan Yan stretched out his palm, and in the blink of an eye, the girl in the water fell directly into his palm.

"let me go!"

Jiang Nuo was shocked. The man held the back of her head with his hand and pressed down hard on her lower back. There was no way to escape, and she couldn't even back away.

Amidst the swirling mist, the girl's slender waist accentuated her curves. At such close range, her water-soaked dress seemed almost weightless, as if all her beauty could be laid bare before the man.

"You didn't use the holy elixir I gave you?!"

His voice suddenly turned cold and sharp; this emotion erupted abruptly, something that hadn't been there before.

"What holy liquid? You, you let go of me first!" Although she knew she couldn't break free, Jiang Nuo still tried to escape the man's grasp. What difference was there between her being naked and not being naked?!

"You little thing, how dare you lie to me." Xuan Yan's crimson eyes were filled with anger, and his large hand gradually tightened its grip, as if he didn't care at all whether it would leave a red mark on the girl's body.

The pain was excruciating.

This intensity...

It's incredibly cruel for a girl.

Jiang Nuo's lips gradually turned pale. She tried hard to recall and suddenly remembered that a waiter had come before!
The waiter gave her a small bottle containing a golden liquid, saying it was for her to use, but she simply brushed it off and forgot about it; she dared not use what he gave her.

Could it be that holy liquid?

"I didn't lie to you, I accepted it, but I haven't had a chance to use it yet. Let me go first, Xuan Yan, you're hurting me." Jiang Nuo's eyes were moist, and she looked pitiful. The main problem was that the man's strength was extremely fierce, and her skin felt like it was being cut, and her bones felt like they were about to break.

Seeing the girl's intense reaction, Xuan Yan seemed to realize something, and unconsciously loosened his grip.

Even through the fabric, it was clear that the girl's skin, where it had been pressed, had turned a deep purplish-blue.

Xuan Yan turned to the side as if to escape, but a barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

He walked back to his original spot, sat back down in his chair, and the air seemed to quiet down.

Jiang Nuo felt a surge of grievances. She squatted down and hugged herself, her shoulders still trembling slightly. Her wet hair was scattered, and tears welled up in her eyes as if she was trying to hold them back. But after a few seconds, the tears still fell like a broken string.

This isn't the first time! Why does this man bully her every time they meet? What did she do wrong?
She didn't provoke him at all!

Not far away, Xuan Yan sat quietly, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at that pitiful and helpless figure.

His fists clenched tightly, as if a strange sense of suffocation was rising within him.

And just then.

A figure rushed in from outside, breaking the delicate atmosphere; it was Phil.

The first thing Phil saw when he rushed in was a girl crying and hugging him by the pool, which pierced his heart!
He rushed over and, without hesitation, took off his coat and draped it over the girl's frail body.

"Xiao Nuo, I'm here, don't cry." He picked her up, almost overwhelmed by her sorrow, the dull pain in his heart unbearable.

Phil glared angrily at the person not far away, his eyes burning with rage as if he wanted to incinerate them: "Xuan Yan!! You, you despicable male!"

"You don't deserve to be a man!"

"What kind of skill is it to bully females!"

"You are utterly unfit to lead the Temple! I will join forces with the other two legions to impeach you!!"

"You useless male!!"

"..."

Various insults and sarcastic remarks were hurled at the victim, but contrary to his usual behavior, he remained silent and did not offer any rebuttal.

Phil glared angrily, but was also somewhat puzzled: In the past, if he had insulted him like this, Xuan Yan would have already taken action, but today he was silently enduring it?!
"You, take good care of her."

After a long while, the crimson figure finally stood up, but said nothing else, only leaving a simple instruction before turning and leaving.

Xuan Yan's departing figure looked somewhat forlorn.

It was completely different from when we arrived.

He heard from the waiter that she had accepted the gift he gave her, and he couldn't deny that he felt a little pleased at the time, so... he suddenly wanted to come and see her.

But just now... he lost control again.

The girl's vulnerability just now felt very real, not like it was feigned. Thinking of this, Xuan Yan felt as if a sharp dagger was slowly piercing his heart.

It seems... a little painful.

……

Jiang Nuo was carried back to her room by Phil.

Wrapped in her coat, she was small and frail, a sight that tugged at the heartstrings. Hot tears streamed down her face, gradually soaking the clothes she was wearing.

Phil wrapped his strong arms around her, his large hand patting the girl's back, his comforting voice warm: "Xiao Nuo, don't cry, okay? I'll beat him up for you. Tomorrow I'll go to the temple and give him a good beating!"

"I will definitely avenge you."

"It's all my fault. I was late, and he bullied you again. It's all my fault. Please don't cry."

"That scumbag fox, he's a piece of trash, don't bother arguing with a piece of trash."

"Xiao Nuo, are you in a lot of pain? Let me see your injuries, okay?"

Phil was heartbroken, and he cursed Xuan Yan a hundred times in his heart.

He even felt that simply cursing wasn't enough to vent his anger; he now wished he could tear the temple down!
Ah, I got a pitifully small number of recommendation votes today, lol!
