Empress, please lay down your armor, for I will save the world with a single sword!

The red candles flickered inside the room.

A gentle night breeze blew through the window, causing the curtains to sway slightly.

Wu Liang was tied to the edge of the bed, his head bowed, looking as if he truly had no power to resist.

Pei Changge sat opposite him, a jade riding whip resting on his lap.

Snowy perched on her shoulder, its tail gently brushing against her neck.

Both the man and the sable were staring at Wu Liang.

"Still won't you tell me?"

Pei Changge asked slowly, "Who sent you?"

Wu Liang sighed.

"Girl, I really have no one to send me."

"I was just blinded by lust and took a look while passing by."

That's half true and half false.

Pei Changge laughed upon hearing this.

"He's more honest than those men who spout platitudes about morality and righteousness."

She got up and walked up to Wu Liang, using her riding whip to lift his chin.

"Since he is blinded by lust, he should be punished."

Wu Liang was wary inside, but pretended to be cowardly.

"What should the punishment be?"

A wicked smile flashed in Pei Changge's eyes.

"Kneel down."

Wu Liang looked up at her.

"What?"

Pei Changge smiled radiantly.

"I'll make you kneel down."

"Learn to crawl like a dog twice. If you do it well, I might consider slapping you a couple less times."

Wu Liang's face instantly darkened.

That crazy woman.

They really know how to have fun.

Pei Changge seemed to enjoy seeing his shocked and angry expression. He flicked his riding whip and lashed it against the corner of the table next to him.

"What, you don't want to?"

Wu Liang took a deep breath.

"Girl, a real man..."

Snapped!

The whip lashed his shoulder again.

Wu Liang gasped, his anger rising. This crazy woman was really strong; damn it, it really hurt!

Pei Changge smiled and said, "There are no great men here."

"Only petty thieves."

Wu Liang gritted his teeth: "Fine."

"I'll kneel."

Pei Changge's smile deepened.

She ultimately underestimated Wu Liang.

To enable him to move, she reached out and untied the restraints on his feet, and loosened half of the red rope around his wrists.

Wu Liang lowered his head and moved slowly, as if resigned to his fate.

Pei Changge watched with great interest.

But just as she got a little closer, a tiny porcelain bottle suddenly slipped out of Wu Liang's sleeve.

He had already pried the cork off with his fingertips.

A wisp of colorless and odorless fragrance quietly spread out.

Pei Changge was unaware at first.

Until my eyes suddenly stung.

My nose also started to itch.

Her expression changed slightly.

"you--"

Before he could finish speaking, his limbs suddenly went limp, and the jade whip in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Pei Changge staggered half a step and almost fell.

Wu Liang looked up and smiled.

"It's about reciprocity."

"You bit me with your ferret."

"I'll retaliate with a little medicine."

Pei Changge angrily asked, "You poisoned me?"

"This is not poisoning."

Wu Liang said seriously, "This is called self-preservation."

As he spoke, he quickly freed himself from the loose red rope.

Although Xue Nu's poison has not been completely neutralized, he has regained some strength after forcing out some of the poisonous blood.

Wu Liang took out a homemade antidote pill from his pocket, put it in his mouth and swallowed it.

As the elixir dissolved, Xue Nu's numbing poison was suppressed further.

Pei Changge wanted to shout.

The effects of the intoxicating herb, Ke Zui Qing Feng, have already taken hold.

Her voice was so soft she could barely speak, and she had no strength left in her body.

Wu Liang walked over and looked down at her.

"Don't shout."

"If you call people over, it will certainly be troublesome for me, but it won't necessarily be good for you either."

A hint of panic finally appeared in Pei Changge's eyes.

But that panic lasted only a moment.

Soon, anger and ruthlessness overwhelmed it.

"You dare touch me?"

Do you know who I am?

Wu Liang smiled and said, "I don't know."

"But I really want to hear it now."

Pei Changge gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with ruthlessness and coldness.

"I am Pei Xiao's daughter."

"The First Princess of the Northern Yong Prince's Mansion!"

"I am still the young mistress of the Zuo family. Zuo Gongming, the military commissioner of Beiyong Road, is my father-in-law."

"Zuo Huaiyu is my husband."

"If you dare to harm a single hair on my head today, my father will chop you to pieces and feed you to the dogs!"

Wu Liang's heart skipped a beat.

Pei Xiao's daughter?

The young mistress of the Zuo family?

Is her man still alive?

It’s over.

This enchantress is no ordinary woman from a royal household.

Each of these identities is more troublesome than the last.

But in times like these, you absolutely cannot back down.

Wu Liang laughed instead.

"So it's the eldest princess."

"Then we absolutely cannot let you call for help."

Pei Changge was furious.

"You bastard!"

"If you dare touch me, I'll cut out your tongue, skin you alive, and feed you to Xue Nu! Also, you've been poisoned by Xue Nu, and I'm the only one in the world with the antidote. If you don't want to die, let me go right now!!"

Xue Nu seemed to understand her name and stood on the table, baring her teeth at Wu Liang.

Wu Liang glanced at the little thing.

"If you call again, I'll make you into soup later."

Xuenu: "(ÒωÓױ)!"

Wu Liang chuckled and said, "It's just ferret poison, how could it possibly kill me? You probably don't know my abilities. With a little effort, I can naturally cure this poison. Otherwise, how could I be able to move around so freely right now?"

Pei Changge turned pale with anger.

"You're asking for it!"

Wu Liang stopped wasting words with her.

He bent down and picked up the jade whip from the ground.

The emerald green whip gleamed in the candlelight.

Pei Changge's expression finally changed when he saw this.

"You dare!"

Wu Liang sneered.

"What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Weren't you having a good time drawing just now?"

"Princess, now it's your turn to taste it."

Snapped!

The whip fell.

Pei Changge's body trembled violently, and anger instantly surged in his eyes.

"Wu Liang! You're asking for it!"

Snapped!

Another lash.

Wu Liang didn't stand on ceremony at all.

"scold."

"Keep cursing."

"You curse me, I'll slap you."

Pei Changge gritted her teeth, her eyes red with anger.

"My father will not let you get away with this!"

Snapped!

"The Zuo family won't let you off the hook either!"

Snapped!

"I'll tear you to pieces!"

Snapped!

Wu Liang brought his riding whip down again.

Pei Changge's voice suddenly trembled.

She was still cursing.

The insults were harsh and vicious.

What a despicable thief.

What a lecherous rogue!

What do you mean by "sooner or later, I'll be torn to pieces"?

Each sentence was harsher than the last.

But as she continued to yell, her voice gradually softened.

It's not about admitting defeat.

It was more like a loss of control that even she herself hadn't anticipated.

The anger in her eyes was still there.

But that face, so beautiful it was almost otherworldly, gradually flushed red...

Wu Liang naturally noticed it.

He looked down at her and suddenly chuckled.

"You woman, you're really crazy."

Pei Changge sneered, but her voice trembled slightly.

"Scared?"

"Afraid?"

Wu Liang leaned down and stared into her eyes.

"Who have I, Wu Liang, ever feared?"

Pei Changge's pupils contracted slightly.

"Wu Liang?"

She finally learned the man's name.

But she didn't call for help; she just stared intently at Wu Liang, as if she wanted to bite him to death, or as if she had finally seen a man she had never seen before.

She has seen too many men since she was a child.

Try to please her.

I'm afraid of her.

I'm craving her.

I hate her.

Pretending to be a virtuous gentleman.

Some even feigned promiscuity in front of her.

But none of them were like the man in front of them.

audacious in the extreme.

Utterly shameless.

When she catches him, he pretends to be cowardly and curses.

But once they turn the tables, they become more ruthless than anyone else.

He knew she was the eldest daughter of the Prince of Beiyong and the young mistress of the Zuo family.

But they didn't back down.

On the contrary, they became even more assertive.

Pei Changge bit her lip, her chest heaving.

There was anger in his eyes.

There is chaos.

There was also a hint of excitement that she herself was unwilling to admit.

Wu Liang looked at her and slowly threw down the riding whip.

The red candle flickered, and only the sound of their breathing filled the room...

Ten thousand words are omitted here; only those with unparalleled handsome looks can view this…

……

Outside Yunshui Pavilion, the night breeze rustles through the bamboo shadows.

The red candles inside the room flickered all night.

The jade whip had been kicked off the bed at some point, and the red rope was scattered around the edge of the brocade quilt.

At first, there was Pei Changge's suppressed angry curses.

Later, the angry shouts gradually subsided.

All that remained was increasingly disordered breathing.

That night was utterly absurd.

It was so absurd that even the snow serpent outside the window huddled on the beam, staring at it with its big, dark eyes for a while before burying its head in its tail.

As dawn approached, Wu Liang suddenly opened his eyes.

The red candle had burned down to half its original size.

The brocade quilt was in disarray, and the red skirt was scattered all over the floor.

On the bed, a single red plum blossom fell onto the snow-white brocade quilt.

shocking.

Wu Liang was taken aback.

He immediately gasped.

It’s over.

This vixen is still a virgin?

And her husband from the Zuo family...

The name Zuo Huaiyu immediately flashed through Wu Liang's mind, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

What a piece of trash!

No wonder this woman is so crazy.

Pei Changge also woke up.

She wore a disheveled red dress, her black hair cascading over her shoulders, and her bright face still bore the blush of her previous appearance.

But soon, she also saw the red plum blossoms on the bed.

He froze for a moment.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Then, she suddenly looked up at Wu Liang.

"Who exactly are you?"

"What are you doing at the Prince's residence?"

"you--"

Wu Liang had already started getting dressed.

He glanced at the pale sky outside the window and suddenly became fully awake.

broken!

Why is it already light out?

Jiang Qingluan's side...

Didn't go again!

He didn't bother to answer Pei Changge's question, and grabbed his outer robe to put it on.

When Pei Changge saw that he did not answer, anger rose in her eyes again.

At this moment, the poison of Drunken Breeze had been neutralized, and having practiced martial arts since childhood, she moved swiftly.

She suddenly grabbed the jade whip from beside the bed and lashed it at Wu Liang's back.

Wu Liang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; he grabbed the whip tip with a backhand.

He slowly turned around.

The smile on his face had vanished.

"Still not enough fun?"

Pei Changge gritted her teeth.

"You bastard! Let go of me!!"

Snapped!

Wu Liang raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

Pei Changge was completely stunned.

No one has ever dared to slap her like that before.

"You dare hit me?"

Snapped!

Wu Liang slapped him again with his backhand.

"When I tied you up and whipped you last night, why didn't you ask me if I dared?"

"Pei Changge, don't act like a princess to me."

"Go find a mirror and look at yourself."

"Which part of your body haven't I hit?"

Pei Changge glanced down at it.

On her snow-white skin, there were bruises and red marks that had not yet faded.

The absurd scenes from last night flooded my mind.

Her face was both red and white.

The anger is real.

The shame was real.

What alarmed her even more was that the throbbing sensation that surged from her very bones was also real.

Wu Liang pinched her chin and patted her face.

"Be good when you see me next time."

"Put away your princess airs."

"Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you."

Pei Changge bit her lip tightly and remained silent.

Wu Liang snorted coldly.

"Help me change my clothes."

Pei Changge suddenly looked up, her anger almost bursting out.

But she eventually got off the bed.

She stiffly straightened his clothes and fastened his belt.

When her fingers touched Wu Liang's robe, she almost wanted to tear it to shreds.

But she didn't.

Looking at her expression of both hatred and forbearance, Wu Liang muttered to himself.

That woman is a madwoman.

If you're not assertive, you really can't control her.

After straightening his clothes, Wu Liang turned to leave.

Pei Changge suddenly spoke.

"Who exactly are you?"

Wu Liang stood by the window and glanced back at her.

Laughed.

"rest assured."

"I also crave your body."

"We'll meet again in the future."

Pei Changge muttered a curse under his breath.

"Shameless."

Wu Liang climbed out of the window, his figure quickly disappearing into the morning light.

Pei Changge sat on the edge of the bed, touched his face where he had been slapped, and then looked at the jade whip under the bed that gleamed with a soft, watery light.

The anger in his eyes had not yet subsided.

But for some reason, the corners of her lips curled up very, very slightly.

……
