Yao Ying, who had actually agreed inwardly, didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. What man didn't like being coaxed seductively just like this? Oh well... he was the one who got the benefits anyway, so why should he refuse it? At least, the woman started to realize that she liked the act of intimacy too.

"Fine," Yao Ying answered with a conflicted face. He sighed and looked like that he was in difficulty for agreeing with her demand --- he looked like he was being forced to submit by Yao Ling, which made Yao Ling feel kind of bad.

However, Yao Ling sighed in relief because she finally got what she wanted, not knowing that she was actually being tricked by Yao Ying. If she knew, she would probably vomit blood in anger. She even offered herself, in turn, ah~!

Yao Ying who was being sly laughed inwardly. At least, he got something good from this. After being smug for a little while, his face turned grim once again. He cared about her wellbeing --- more than he wanted to be pleased by her.

"No matter what! You need to follow my instruction, okay? You are not allowed to move by yourself, how is that sound?" Yao Ying tried to make a compromise.

Yao Ling nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, Hubby!" After that, she quickly hugged Yao Ying in a spoiled manner, "I love you!"

Yao Ying could only shake his head helplessly. 'This woman... really... ah~!' He thought to himself.

After that, they called Xiu back in. Xiu laughed inwardly because he knew that sooner or later the young master would lose to the young mistress. This was just like what he had expected --- the young mistress would follow them along that night.

They came up with a plan and waited for a few s.h.i.+chen until it was time for the change of the s.h.i.+ft. Yao Ling followed along Yao Ying and Xiu by wearing black clothes with a mask on. They hid behind the closest bushes and waited for the right time to move.

Yao Ling whispered softly, "Where are the hidden guards?" She didn't know how to use inner qi, so she could only ask others.

Yao Ying motioned for her to stop talking and shook his head --- it meant that they shouldn't talk at a times like this. Instead, they had to use their body language. Yao Ling was a fast learner and she quickly understood what Yao Ying meant.

Yao Ying used his inner qi softly and lady luck was on their side, the hidden guards were patrolling around the area but not around the gates. It seemed like that so far... no one dared to break through the front, hence the last place that they would guard was the front gate.

Yao Ying already brought a piece of paper, brush, and ink to draw the symbols. They had started to draw all that they could see from afar, so it would lessen their time to draw in front of the gate. Yao Ying was actually good at drawing and it would take him only an incense stick of time to finish everything if he counted the time correctly.

When the time to change s.h.i.+ft arrived, they quickly readied themselves. Once the guards were out of sight, Yao Ying used his qing gong to bring Yao Ling along with him. Yao Ying quickly drew the rest of the symbols, on the other hand, Yao Ling was paying attention to the symbols carefully.

The closer she got to the symbols, the louder the calling was. The symbols seemed to enchant her and calling her to touch it. Yao Ling was hesitated at first, after all, it was too risky. However, it seemed like she was being hypnotized, because her right hand moved on its own.

Yao Ying finished drawing and quickly rolled the paper up. Without a second thought, he put it inside his sleeves, then he turned around to look at Yao Ling. He was surprised at what he had seen... Yao Ling's eyes looked like that it was blank and lifeless --- it looked like that she was in a trance. She tried to touch the gate without any hesitation.

Yao Ying was afraid that her touch would trigger the hidden guards --- he wouldn't win the fight with Yao Ling around and it would be bad news for Xiao Fang too! After all, she was the one who brought them here.

"Yao Ling!" He called her once softly in a hurry, but there was no reaction from her. Her hand continued moving forward.

"Yao Ling!" He called once again, but still, she was still the same.

He knew that something was definitely wrong!

Yao Ying quickly tried to pull her back by holding her waist, however, to his surprise, Yao Ling didn't budge. 'What the heck happened?' He thought to himself. Yao Ying had tried several times, but the result was still the same! It was like she was rooted on the spot.

Yao Ying tried a few times but he still failed. Until finally... she touched the symbols on the gate. At first, Yao Ying sighed in relief when nothing happened to it. However, he was surprised by what happened next!

The weird symbols suddenly activated and it glowed in the middle of the dimmed light. 'This is bad!' Yao Ying thought to himself. If this continued, he was pretty sure that they would attract unnecessary attention from the hidden guards.

He had tried to pull Yao Ling away once again after the symbols started glowing, but it was still the same result! She was still standing there --- feeling entranced... despite the weird glow. However, her blank stare changed and it showed how contented she was. Her face became serene.

How could these symbols affect her so?!

Yao Ying sighed and he started to become panicked by the seconds. The longer they stayed there, the more troubles would be brought upon them.

Suddenly, something more magical happened. The symbols seemed to come alive... The crescent moon with the vines was still there, but the weird symbols started to come out of the gate and it started to form words. It seemed like it was actually a random stroke of Chinese words which were being scrambled and now... it was being arranged in order.

Yao Ying was surprised, but he didn't care about it at all. Their safety was the main thing that he cared about. Not only that, Xiu had given them a signal by copying a bird's chirping, telling them indirectly that the ordinary guards were coming!

Yao Ling gave a signal back to let Xiu deal with them with Yao Ling's special sleeping powder. They didn't want to create a commotion from a fight, thus, they already prepared beforehand. Xiu quickly did his job and before the guards managed to let out a yell... they already fainted. Xiu prayed that they could work faster, after all, he didn't know when the hidden guards would randomly go to the front gate.

Xiu also saw the glowing symbols and he felt amazed by what had just happened, but he didn't have the time to dwell on it. It seemed like he could only stand by at the moment and protect the couple if the unavoidable happened until they finished dealing with the symbols.

Yao Ying knew that Yao Ling seemed not to realize that something happened to her, thus, he paid attention to the movement of the symbols, waiting to see what the final words would be...
