Jiang Zheyu assud the heroine was fine now.
’Great, she’d discovered another function of her spiritual power!’
It turned out her spiritual power could heal injuries caused by spiritual power attacks, regardless of whether the victim had spiritual power or not. She could heal them all!
Thinking about it, Jiang Zheyu really wanted to try it on a female who had spiritual power.
’I wonder what a female’s Spiritual Domain looks like?’
After all, females didn’t have beast forms, so she had no idea what their Spiritual Domains were like.
The heroine didn’t have any spiritual power, so Jiang Zheyu couldn’t see her Spiritual Domain Space.
Jiang Zheyu was dying to find a female to test her abilities on.
She rembered the Little Princess of the Empire in the adjacent palace and thought she could give it a try when she went back later.
’My spiritual power is higher than any other female’s!’
’In that case, I have nothing to be afraid of.’
"Princess Zheyu, Prince Yu has instructed to escort you out." A Beastman approached Jiang Zheyu, bowing deferentially, and spoke in a low voice.
"Oh, alright. Let’s go." Jiang Zheyu paused, snapping back to reality, and followed the Beastman out.
She was still thinking about the matter of female spiritual power when the Beastman in front of her suddenly stopped and turned to face her.
Jiang Zheyu paused, confused. The next second, a wave of dizziness washed over her mind. Just before she passed out, she saw the Beastman before her transform into Si Yu’s likeness. She nearly died from shock.
It was the kind of horror you feel when soone you’ve almost forgotten suddenly appears right in front of you.
The press conference was still ongoing. So when Jin Yu returned to the waiting room to look for her, he found only Yan Luo. He paused and asked, "Where’s Zheyu?"
Yan Luo’s eyes showed confusion. "Didn’t you send soone to escort her out?"
Jin Yu instantly realized what had happened. "This is bad."
He was about to go look for her himself, but then he rembered the Special-level Researchers in the room. He fell silent for a mont, then picked up his Light Brain. "Lock down the venue imdiately. Everyone is to be screened. Find the female, Zheyu."
...
On a large, pure white bed, the room was fully furnished. Outside the window, a view of a starry galaxy unfolded. Now and then, Star Stones would graze past, or special cosmic particles would scatter. Beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, purple gauze curtains were half-drawn, bunched together.
When Jiang Zheyu woke up, she found herself in a room with three walls, two of which were floor-to-ceiling windows. The wall she faced as she sat up was also a massive floor-to-ceiling window. And beyond the glass was a moving scene—a sea of stars, a galaxy that seed to be drifting past.
’Is this real?’ She subconsciously wanted to go and see for herself.
’Did Si Yu tie up and bring onto a Starship while I was unconscious?’
’Wait, what? The heroine was right there. Why would he abduct instead of her?’
’Did I really curse him out too harshly last ti? Is he abducting now for revenge?’
She got out of bed, but before her feet even touched the floor, she noticed sothing was wrong with her clothes. This wasn’t the suit she was wearing before she passed out.
When had her white suit been replaced with a white slip dress?
What was even more outrageous was that she was completely bare underneath. Soone had changed her out of her white suit, which was one thing, but they’d left her wearing nothing but a thin, white slip dress.
Standing on the floor, Jiang Zheyu could see the length of the silk slip dress. It barely covered her rear. With the slightest movent, she’d be exposed either on top or on the bottom.
Her face flushed red, then darkened. That pervert Si Yu was going to make her die of anger.
’That bastard... he must be doing this just to humiliate , right?’
Jiang Zheyu had originally wanted to go to the window to see if the starry sky outside was really outer space, but now, her face burning with anger, she jumped back into bed and rolled herself up in the covers.
A mont later, however, she felt she couldn’t just sit there and wait for her doom.
Jiang Zheyu got out of bed again and walked toward the door. ’I wonder if it’s locked.’
She had just grasped the handle when it began to turn on its own. Realizing what was happening, she imdiately let go and scrambled back a few steps.
Si Yu walked in, dressed in a white casual outfit. With a casual flick of his long, well-defined fingers, he shut the door behind him.
The man’s long, silver hair was casually draped over his shoulders. He was extrely tall, and his entrance seed to fill the entire doorway.
She had only ever seen him in a white suit before. This was the first ti Jiang Zheyu had seen him in casual wear, and it gave him a different, more relaxed sort of charm.
Si Yu’s dark green eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze filled with a peculiar desire as it swept over Jiang Zheyu from top to bottom. Where there had once been a single Bone Nail on his sharp brow bone, there now seed to be a second one. As his brow twitched, the Bone Nails seed to move with it.
Jiang Zheyu was speechless.
’Back at the coffee shop, I don’t rember his gaze being this blatant,’ she thought.
’Wait, this guy... he doesn’t actually like , does he? He just wants to... do , right?’
’He’s captured now, so he’s dropping the act?’
"Wh-what a coincidence," Jiang Zheyu said dryly.
"Not a coincidence. I brought you here on purpose, rember?" Si Yu said, slowly walking toward Jiang Zheyu.
Seeing him approach, Jiang Zheyu subconsciously backed away. She forced a small smile. "Um, why did you bring here? If it’s about what happened at the coffee shop last ti, I can apologize."
"Oh?" Si Yu grabbed Jiang Zheyu’s wrist, halting her retreat, and pulled her in front of him. His gaze landed darkly on her face. "Then apologize."
"I-I’m sorry," Jiang Zheyu stamred, looking into his dark green eyes. "If I apologize, will you let go?"
The corner of Si Yu’s mouth lifted into a slight smile. The Bone Nail on his cool, thin lips was particularly conspicuous in the light. "You had so much backbone when you were calling a lowly lizard beast. Why have you stopped now?"
’If that’s what you’re into, I can oblige.’
But Jiang Zheyu swallowed those words, not daring to say them out loud.
"I was just being ignorant back then." Jiang Zheyu knew it was wise to submit to the circumstances. She couldn’t beat him in spiritual power, much less in physical strength. She gave a small, fawning smile.
The young woman’s faint smile, her tea-colored eyes shimring with a soft light, her face as beautiful as a handful of freshly fallen snow.
Si Yu gazed at her smiling face, his dark green eyes deepening. He reached out, pinched her chin, and said softly, "What a beautiful smile."
’I want to kiss her.’
And as the man thought it, he acted on it. One hand still held her chin while the other pressed against the small of her back, pulling her close as he lowered his head and kissed her.
Jiang Zheyu never expected him to kiss her so suddenly.
She was completely unprepared as his teeth bit down on her lip.
Jiang Zheyu’s eyes flew open. When she ca to her senses, she tried to push him away, but he only held her tighter in his embrace.
The man was like a starved beast, gnawing at her.
