When Xin'er saw the blood-soaked man, her face turned pale in an instant.
Desire Child's beautiful eyes widened in shock.
She couldn't help but gasp.
After regaining her composure, Small Mouth opened her mouth, ready to scream.
In contrast to Xin'er's horror, the man who had jumped through the window was equally stunned by the scene before him.
He had been focused on evading his pursuers and had rushed in without a second thought.
He assumed there would be no one here, but who could have known—
The sight before him was both shocking and breathtaking!
There stood a completely naked girl beside a bathtub filled with swirling smoke and scattered petals. Her slender figure was mostly concealed by her long, dark hair, revealing only her delicate arms and legs. Yet, this glimpse was the most captivating of all!
Adding to this was the girl's exquisitely beautiful face. Although it was currently marked by fear and panic, it did nothing to diminish her beauty!
She was simply a natural beauty, a stunning vision of perfection!
The man's overly elongated Phoenix Eyes widened in astonishment, his gaze flickering with admiration.
However, when he saw the girl’s mouth open wide as if to scream, he jolted back to reality.
In an instant, he moved with lightning speed to her side, his blood-stained hand quickly covering her mouth.
"Don't scream, or I won't be gentle with you!"
His voice was deliberately lowered, carrying a strong warning.
Xin'er, who had been about to scream, felt a jolt of fear at his words. She realized that she was completely exposed and that he had covered her mouth with one hand while their bodies were so close…
As soon as she thought of this, Xin'er immediately began to struggle.
Her beautiful eyes, filled with shock, fixed intently on the man. Her hands instinctively retreated towards his embrace.
When she pushed against his chest, what she felt was warm liquid. Even without looking, she knew it had to be blood!
The man's chest was clearly injured, as he let out a muffled groan the moment she pushed against him. Just when Xin'er thought she could push him away, her hands were suddenly seized by his large grip.
The man was covered in blood and obviously badly hurt, yet his strength was considerable.
His grip on Xin'er was like a steel clamp, making it impossible for her to twist or pull free no matter how much she struggled.
In the end, Xin'er panicked. With her hands restrained and her mouth covered, she found herself unable to escape or call for help.
The man was unknown and bloodied; he certainly wasn't a good person!
Thinking of this made Xin'er afraid. Without a second thought, she kicked towards the man's groin!
With another muffled groan from him, it was clear that her kick had landed!
Before Xin'er could feel any joy from this, the man fell sideways toward the bathtub. That wasn't even the worst part; despite falling, he didn't release his grip on her. As a result, they both tumbled into the bathtub with a splash.
Water splashed everywhere, sending droplets and petals flying!
Xin'er’s petite body was completely submerged in the bathtub, and she ended up swallowing several mouthfuls of water.
In an instant, choking on the water left her no time to escape; she could only cough incessantly.
The man who fell into the water with her fared little better.
Already severely injured, he found himself fully submerged. When he resurfaced, it was evident he had swallowed some water as well and was coughing just as much.
However, the warm water washed away the blood on his face and body. When Xin'er finally regained her senses and looked at him while trying to struggle free, she gasped in disbelief as her beautiful eyes widened in shock.
"How is it you!?"
With Xin'er’s exclamation, the man forgot to cough due to her incredulous tone. His striking Phoenix Eyes were fixed intently on Xin'er’s face.
As he observed the disbelief in her expression, his delicate brows furrowed slightly. Coughing lightly, he asked, "Do you know me!?"
As he spoke, the man scrutinized the girl before him once more.
Earlier, he had burst in unexpectedly and caught a fleeting glimpse of her beauty. He hadn’t had time to think much about it before he saw her about to call for help, so he hurriedly covered her small mouth to prevent her from alerting anyone.
But now, seeing her look of disbelief and hearing her words, it was clear she recognized him.
However, had he seen this girl before?
Thinking this, the man's elegant brows knitted together as he carefully examined Xin'er again. Suddenly, as if recalling something, his Phoenix Eyes flickered with recognition.
"I remember you now."
He sighed. This girl was none other than the one who performed the Dancing Phoenix at the Drunken Indulgence Talent Show that night!
At that time, she had worn a stunning Crimson Enchantress outfit, her face adorned with heavy makeup that made her strikingly beautiful. The moment she appeared on stage, she captured everyone's attention, and he was no exception.
Later on, when he inadvertently caught her as she stumbled to prevent her fall, he realized up close that her gaze was so clear and pure, like the cleanest spring water—sweet and charming.
She was entirely different from the alluring figure on stage.
In that moment, he understood that this girl was indeed a rare beauty. Yet he hadn’t expected that without makeup, she would appear so innocent and breathtaking!
Thinking of this left him astonished.
Especially now that they were both soaking in the same bathtub.
The bathtub was large enough to accommodate two people.
At this moment, the warm water, which was originally eight-tenths full, was nearly overflowing due to the presence of the two individuals.
Delicate white Magnolia petals floated on the surface of the water, their fragrance wafting gently in the air. The sight of the girl before him, resembling a lotus emerging from the water, was breathtakingly beautiful.
It stirred something deep within him, causing his heart to race.
The young man felt as if his heart was being struck repeatedly by a giant hammer.
Thump, thump, thump—his heartbeat was so intense it felt like it might leap out of his chest…
Heavenly!
This girl was truly stunning!
He recalled all the beautiful women he had seen in the palace throughout his life—slender and plump, beauties in abundance—but none had ever caught his eye like this one. The sensation he felt now was unlike anything he had experienced before…
As these thoughts crossed his mind, he felt blood rushing to a certain part of his body.
His nose twitched, and suddenly, two streams of blood flowed from his nostrils, creating a comical contrast with his astonished expression.
Normally, Xin'er would have burst into laughter at such a ridiculous sight. However, although she was surprised to find that this was the same young man who had helped her after the Talent Show, they were now both in a bathtub together. Moreover, she was completely unclothed, submerged in the water.
Even though the bathtub was filled to the brim and the snow-white Magnolia petals covered her completely, hiding her from view, she still curled herself up as much as possible in the water. Only her small head remained above the surface, and she felt an overwhelming sense of shyness and embarrassment.
Oh no!
Even if she didn’t understand much about matters between men and women, she knew that physical contact between them should be avoided. Now, here she was—having a man enter her room and see her body…
Thinking about this made Xin'er’s heart race with panic.
Especially since his hands were tightly shackled by the man, she couldn't break free.
Thinking of this, Xin'er panicked. Once she regained her senses, she immediately twisted her wrists and pleaded with the man in front of her.
"Let go!"
Hearing Xin'er's words, the man, who had been stunned and amazed, finally came to his senses. Seeing Xin'er’s flustered and distressed expression, as if she were about to cry, his Phoenix Eyes flickered for a moment before he replied.
"I'll let go if you stop shouting and running around to alert others."
His voice was clear, yet it carried an undeniable undertone of restraint.
Upon hearing this, Xin'er looked at the man’s body, which was covered in wounds.
His hair was disheveled and wet, and the upper half of his body exposed above the water was riddled with scars.
He had originally been wearing a white robe, but now it was tattered and torn.
From the bloodied wounds, it was evident that he had been slashed with a knife.
The most severe injury was the deep cut on his chest.
Looking through the ripped fabric, she could see dark red stains within.
Faintly, blood was seeping out from inside.
Having never witnessed such a bloody scene in her life, Xin'er trembled in fear.
Oh my!
How could such a severe knife wound exist? Who could be so ruthless as to put this man in such a dire state!?
Moreover, with such a serious injury, it must be incredibly painful, right!?
Although the man before her had not spoken, Xin'er could tell from his tightly furrowed brows that he was enduring great pain.
Moreover, the large hand that shackled her was losing its strength.
It seemed that he, too, was weakening from the agony he was experiencing.
If this continued, she could guarantee that the man would die from excessive blood loss!
The thought sent a shiver of fear through Xin'er.
Even though she did not know who this man was, why he was here, or who was chasing him, she did not want him to die.
Perhaps it was because he had saved her last time?
As Xin'er pondered this in her heart, suddenly, a chaotic sound of footsteps approached from a distance. Clearly, someone was rushing toward them, and judging by the sound, there were quite a few of them!
