Gong Yu was awoken by Yun Muxi's sudden screaming. When he opened his eyes, he saw a stream of sunlight seeping in through the gap in the curtains. After many toils yesterday, the two zonked out from tiredness only when the sky was turning bright. At this moment, Gong Yu was still in a daze. He gently rubbed his eyes and saw Yun Muxi sleeping unsoundly. Sweat and tears rolled down her face, wetting the white pillow. Her arms were dancing in the air and her body was twisting frantically under the sheets. She kept on shouting and her face was filled with shock and fear.

Gong Yu called softly, "Xiao Xi? Xiao Xi..."

She seemed to not hear him and when their skin touched, she felt fear more than anything.

At this moment, Yun Muxi had returned to the past in her dream. Once again, that piercing pain seeped into her nightmare...

Back then, Yun Muxi accompanied Duanmu Gongyu on an expedition to Nanjiang. Just as they were about to reach the closest town to Nanjiang, Jiayu Town, the duo had an argument, which resulted in a cold war that lasted for a few days. That night, the duo lodged at an inn in Jiayu Town. Since they were about to enter Nanjiang soon, Duanmu Gongyu wanted to reconcile with Yun Muxi. However, he messed things up and sent the angry Yun Muxi running away by herself. This reckless act of hers caused her to go through the most unforgettable event of her life:

Yun Muxi freed herself from Duanmu Gongyu's arms and ran out of the room. She felt like there was a huge stone in her chest, making it difficult to breathe. She felt much suffocated and her blood was in a rush. Furthermore, she was so mad at him, she could not think properly. She fled from the inn quickly, but was stunned when she was on the street. The sky was completely dark and there was not half a soul on the street. Instantly, she was full of regret. However, she cannot afford to walk back in shame. Hence, she braced herself and continued walking on the street. She kept on walking endlessly, not knowing where she was going.

Yun Muxi touched her waist pocket and was instantly relieved when she felt a bulge. The naive Yun Muxi thought that she had nothing to be afraid of as long as she had money. She decided to find an inn to sleep through the night. She searched as she walked, almost all the shops on the street have closed. There was one in front that still had a bright fire burning. There were people coming in and out of it too. It seemed extraordinarily lively.

Yun Muxi thought, "Since it's still operating at this hour, it must be an inn!" With this thought in mind, she headed towards that shop without hesitation.

At the entrance, a bunch of men just got off their horse carriage and was about to head in. The leader among them was attracted to the pastel blue shadow. Judging from afar, it seemed to belong to a woman with a nice figure. Although he could not see her face due to the darkness, he could tell that she was a beauty by her refres.h.i.+ng aura. Instantly, a desire for her grew in him.

A young girl walking on the streets alone at night had the most potential to be a hungry wolf's prey. Yun Muxi was oblivious to the horrible outcome of her recklessness.

The four young men beside the man looked like they were gentlemen, but it was obvious that he was their leader.

A white-clothed man beside him asked, "Master Hu, why aren't you walking?"

This Master Hu squinted his glowing s.e.xist eyes, making him seem like a hungry wolf that spotted his prey. He raised his brow and pointed towards the pastel blue shadow. The four gentlemen turned towards the direction and their eyes lit up instantly too. At this moment, Yun Muxi was nearing them and they could pretty much see her features. Her delicate features caused the men to slowly turn into perverted beasts.

Seeing the guests arriving, the lady boss quickly walked to them provocatively. She welcomed them, "Hey... isn't this Master Hu! You haven't been here in a week! Our Jiao Jiao misses you so much! Gentlemen, follow me in, I'll bring out the ladies to serve you all!" As she spoke, she leaned against Master Hu's arm, making sure she pressed her big a.s.sets against his arm.

Master Hu did not care about her, nor did he start to make his way inside. Instead, he threw over a bulgy coin bag and pointed towards Yun Muxi with his gaze. The lady boss was a smart woman, and she knew what he meant immediately. She smiled, "No problem! Master Hu, go on and wait inside, leave this to me!"

Finally, the group started to make their way inside. Meanwhile, Yun Muxi was still unaware of the fact that she had been eyed on!

As she reached the front door, she looked towards the sign that said, "Hua Yun Pavilion". She looked inside and saw a few women wearing thin layers of s.e.xy clothing. They wore thick makeup and were acting provocatively. They twisted their waists s.e.xily and flirted with the men. As they spoke, they carried out some suggestive skins.h.i.+p as well.

Yun Muxi could not help but to furrowing her eyebrows. She may be naive, but she was not ignorant. She recognized that this was a brothel immediately.

She turned and left quickly but felt someone tap on her left shoulder. Unconsciously, she turned to see who it was. Before she could even see the face clearly, her nose was covered with a handkerchief. Yun Muxi lost consciousness and her body became weak, causing her to fall backward.

After an unknown period of time, Yun Muxi slowly woke up. Her mind was in a mess and she felt some pain. She was extremely weak and did not even have the energy to lift her elbow. When she opened her eyes, all she saw was darkness. She could only feel the coldness of the room. There seemed to be no one else in the room. She could smell a faint fragrance. She did not enjoy this smell, but she had to breathe. The fear inside her kept growing, and her surroundings were eerie and suffocating.

Yun Muxi tried her best to remain calm and logically a.n.a.lyzed her surroundings. Her instinct told her that she was not kidnapped. Could the fragrance be the cause of her weakness in her limbs? Then why did they kidnap her? She pa.s.sed out in front of Hua Yun Pavilion; perhaps... they wanted to keep her...

Just as she was busy thinking, the door was inwards from outside. Yun Muxi looked towards it. A stream of light shone in and she could see that the room was quite big. It seemed like a female's bedroom with a simple design. A man wearing a dark red robe entered. His face could not be seen clearly, but it was obvious that he was a rich man. There were four other men standing outside and one of them asked eagerly, "Master Hu, can we do it together?"

The man in the red robe had an undeniable arrogant voice as he spoke with discontentment. "How dare you guys touch the woman that I chose? This beauty is now mine, go and seek your own fun, put it on my bill."

The group of men seemed unhappy. Full of jealousy, they glanced at Yun Muxi before leaving reluctantly.

After Master Hu closed the door, the room regained its darkness. Yun Muxi was very scared; her heart would not stop beating. She could clearly feel the man coming closer towards her. She had already guessed what was happening through their conversation just now! Yun Muxi frantically forced herself to remain calm. Only by doing so could she find a way to save herself. If not, her legacy would end here.

Sensing the man approaching her bedside, Yun Muxi asked calmly, "Master Hu, I don't think we know each other?"

He was proud and arrogant as he answered, "So what?"

Yun Muxi continued, "That explains it! Master Hu surely does not know whose woman I am. If not, I bet you won't have the guts to do what you're doing right now."

Master Hu did not care. He laughed, "Hehe... in Jiayu Town, there is not a single woman who dared to turn me down. Even if you have strong support, I'm sure he dare not do anything to me!"

Yun Muxi was alarmed. It seemed like this Master Hu had a huge background. Things were getting out of hand! She could only give it her all.

She smiled gently and said, "What if I'm Prince Duanmu Gongyu's woman? Will Master Hu still be this arrogant?"

He snorted, "Haha... who are you kidding! Everyone knows that Prince Yu never cares about women, not even about someone as mesmerizing like you!" As she spoke, Master Hu had started to remove the few barriers between the two.

Yun Muxi started to panic, but she still struggled to the end. "Master Hu, don't let your ignorance ruin your future. I am indeed Prince Yu's woman. If you dare to touch me, Duanmu Gongyu will most definitely not spare you!"

Master Hu hesitated for a little while in his actions, but he did not care. "Woman, who are you trying to trick? Sister Hua had already said that you're still a virgin. If you're really Prince Yu's woman, how could it be? Hehe... but even if what you said was true, so what? If Prince Yu finds out that you're not pure anymore, would he still want you? For someone like him who treats women coldly, how could he go against me over a dirty woman? Eventually, you'll just come back and be my woman. Besides, how could you be his woman? Not a single soul would believe you."

The feeling of despair immediately dawned on her. "That's it! Seems like this Master Hu will be getting his way tonight."

Yun Muxi frantically searched for a chance of survival. However, it was already too late. A heavy body violently fell on her slim figure. Instantly, she felt like there was no more air in her lungs. It was suffocating her and she became weak.

Yun Muxi was at a lost and yelled in fear, "No! Don't touch me, you'll regret it! If you touch me you'll offend someone whom you shouldn't. You will have a bad ending!"

"Haha... regret! I've never known how that feels! At this point, I only know that after tonight you'll regret not meeting me earlier! Tonight, I will show you my unbeatable skills. After you try it you'll follow me wholeheartedly, haha..."

His words were straightforward and his brutal actions showed no mercy.

Yun Muxi had no energy to fight back, and her heart was filled with a sense of despair never experienced before...
