The sun gradually set, and the garden fell into a calm silence. Wushuang leaned against the man in front of her, drenched in fragrant sweat. The garden was enveloped in a subtle and pleasant aroma that wafted beyond the high walls, captivating the passing vehicles with its refreshing scent.
Rafas took off his shirt and covered her exposed body, carrying the unconscious Wushuang back to the room. A warm sensation enveloped her instantly. In her unconscious state, Wushuang seemed to faintly see a familiar figure drawing closer. The feeling of familiarity grew stronger, and when a long-desired face appeared before her, she reddened around her eyes and softly asked, "General Longze, is it really you who came to save me?"
As soon as she spoke, General Longze's figure became increasingly blurred and distant. She desperately ran forward, trying to hold onto him, but when she reached the end, it was nothing but darkness.
After the warmth faded, a chilling sensation struck her, jolting her awake from the dream. When she opened her hazy eyes, what she saw were those hellish black eyes!
"Tell me... who is that man? Who is the man named Long Ze?" Rafas had just carried her back to the bathroom to wash away her sweat, but in her unconscious state, she kept calling out for a man in her dreams. What infuriated him most was the tender expression on her face when she called out his name.
She was his plaything bought for ten million, a tool for venting his frustrations. As long as she was his possession, whether seen with his eyes or thought of in her heart, it must only be him. He would not allow her to harbor feelings for any other man that could betray him!
Wushuang's consciousness gradually cleared. Looking at the face she hated most and feared seeing again, she momentarily forgot what she had said in her dream. However, his gaze told her that she must have said something that angered him so much.
Rafas looked at her innocent and pitiful expression, and rage surged to his head. He grabbed her long hair and pulled her up from the bathtub. The pain at the top of her head forced her to stand up from the tub and follow him to the sink. At this moment, Wushuang was completely naked; having just stepped out of the bathtub, there was not a single piece of fabric to cover herself.
Rafas pointed at the glass of the sink ahead; he wanted her to see clearly who she belonged to now!
"Ah..." Just as she had found relief, she was now being tormented by him again. The look of biting back tears on her face only made Rafas angrier. When she called out that man's name earlier, there was a hint of coyness in her eyes; the expression on her face further fueled his fury. In his anxiety mixed with joy, it seemed like she had been waiting for that man to come and rescue her all along.
The more Rafas thought about it, the angrier he became. Looking at her pitifully innocent face in the mirror and that three-part resemblance on one side of her cheek opened the shackles of his heart once more.
His trust in one woman had nearly cost him all his trustworthy friends and brothers around him; even he himself had nearly lost his life. However, fate spared him and allowed him to live until now, giving him the chance to personally deliver that woman before his deceased brother as an act of atonement.
Women were nothing but trouble; he hated all women but especially those who betrayed him—they deserved their fate...
"I'll give you one last chance: who is that man? Who is the man named Long Ze? Is he your lover?" Rafas pulled back his thoughts and forcefully pressed her against the sink.
"Let go of me! Let go! He is just my Great Yan Kingdom's national general responsible for protecting my escape from the imperial city..." Wushuang groaned in pain as she looked at the unbearable sight in the mirror; her heart turned cold and felt dead inside.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? The Great Yan Kingdom has long been extinct in Chinese history for over a thousand years. You still refuse to tell me the truth; do you think I'm easy to deceive, my Wushuang?" Rafas turned her body to face him and lifted her up to sit on the sink.
His excited roar made Wushuang feel that at this moment, those women who sold their bodies in brothels were still beneath her.
"What? Do you feel wronged? Is it so unfair for you to be with me? Or... do you want to be with that man named Long Ze, my Wushuang?" Rafas held her tightly, his large hand around her waist tightening with every word he spoke.
Wushuang's eyes were red from crying; she completely did not believe his words. How could something that had perished for over a thousand years be possible? She clearly remembered that day when Crown Prince Jin chased her to the cliff. She would rather die than submit to him, so she jumped off the cliff. Although everything here was strange, she firmly believed that this was another world beneath the cliff.
Rafas said a lot, but Wushuang remained silent. Her silence only fueled his anger, and his dark eyes gradually turned blood-red. He kissed her lips, pouring his taste into her mouth. His plundering and entanglement left Wushuang feeling powerless, and she sobbed weakly, tears falling like a rain of swords.
Rafas moved her to the soft big bed. Wushuang stared blankly at the canopy above; she did not believe his words, and they were not enough to convince her.
"Still unwilling to speak? If you don't say anything, I'll let those you've come into contact with today keep you company as a mute!" Rafas's words carried a threat; for him, having mutes at home was no problem; it would only make things quieter.
"No... you can't treat them like that; they are innocent! You can ask me anything!" As expected, this tactic worked well on her. Wushuang was naturally kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see anyone sad or hurt. If something unfortunate happened because of her, she would never find peace for the rest of her life.
Rafas wrapped his arm around her delicate body, maintaining a serious expression as he leaned down to lock onto her cheek and asked, "Why won't you answer my question? Do you think what I want is not enough?"
Wushuang's greatest fear was having relations with him; each time made her grit her teeth while he remained excited and relentless. His words made her immediately shake her head in response: "No, I... I..."
After struggling for a long time without giving an answer, Rafas narrowed his eyes and rolled over on top of her. Earlier in the bathroom, he had already removed the mask from his face, revealing the scar that cut deep into his bone structure, which made Wushuang instinctively avoid looking at him out of fear.
"Answer me honestly: who is that man? Do you love him?" He still wouldn't let go of the man's identity; if he fell into his hands, he would make sure he wished he were dead.
"He's just my protector, a general—at most just a childhood playmate. There's really nothing else between us!" Wushuang trembled in fear as she looked at the ugly scar on his cheek, resembling a centipede burrowing into his skin.
Rafas squinted; clearly, he was not satisfied with such an answer. His deep-set eyes stared at her intently; he could see her panic and that she was lying!
"A general? General Longze? How ridiculous! My dear, you really can spin stories..." Rafas's expressionless face moved closer to her nervous little face. She was indeed lying, but at such a moment, she could only say this. She dared not reveal the truth or admit that General Longze was the one she loved most; that jade pendant was their token of love.
Looking into his unpredictable black eyes, she often found him to be capricious. After two days of interaction, she still could not discern what he was thinking. It was like now; she could clearly sense his anger, yet there was no trace of it on his face.
"Can you trust me? What I say is true. He has always taken care of me, just like a brother," that soft and pleasant voice rang in Rafas's ears. Wushuang tried her best to suppress her fear of him and reached out to hold his outstretched arm.
Her proactive approach made him feel disdainful. Great Yan Kingdom, General Longze? Rafas stood up, grabbed the tablet from the table, typed in search terms related to the Great Yan Kingdom, and found historical information about the Yan Kingdom from a thousand years ago. He tossed it into her hands and coldly said, "Look for yourself!"
Yan Wushuang picked up what he had thrown at her. The screen was filled with densely packed text, but unfortunately, she could not understand it. However, there was a picture of a beautiful woman that she recognized because the women of the Great Yan Kingdom all dressed similarly. She immediately identified that the image depicted a woman from her Great Yan Kingdom.
"Do you understand?" Rafas watched her stare at the screen; she should have figured it out by now.
"I understand this picture, but I can't comprehend what this says. It seems to be your script; I don't recognize it!" Wushuang handed him the item she did not understand. Rafas waited for a long time only to receive such an answer, which left him both amused and exasperated.
"Let me tell you, sweetheart, what is written here is the history of the Great Yan Kingdom. The Great Yan Kingdom you keep mentioning has long been destroyed over a thousand years ago. I don't know if your brain is damaged or if you're deliberately putting on an act with me. In any case, remember this: there is no Great Yan Kingdom here, no General Longze! This is Las Vegas in America; it is my place, Rafas's territory. And you are a woman I bought for ten million dollars. If you behave yourself, I will treat you like a man should treat a woman. But if you continue to provoke me, then prepare to be trampled by thousands and live a life worse than that of pigs or dogs. Do you understand?" Rafas growled, throwing the tablet onto the bed and pulling her in front of him.
Yan Wushuang remained unresponsive for a long time; her mind was still occupied with the words she had just seen and his statements. Although she could not understand everything, some words were somewhat similar, and she roughly grasped concepts like Yan Kingdom, conquest, massacre, destruction, and millennium...
Her mind was in chaos. Could what he said be true? The Great Yan Kingdom had been destroyed for over a thousand years? But hadn’t she just arrived here two days ago? What had happened? How could over a thousand years have passed...?
Her eyes gradually became moist; her willow-like brows furrowed in sorrow as tears rolled down her cheeks. She could hardly believe what was happening to her; one leap had taken her across a millennium from General Longze.
"If what you say is true, then... what should I do? My father is dead; the Great Yan Kingdom is gone. What should I do... Father... sob sob sob... Father..." Wushuang became increasingly agitated as she spoke. The pain in her eyes was so genuine that it astonished Rafas at that moment.
