I wish you peace and love

He sat in the bathtub with his entire back pressed against the cold, smooth wall. His hands were trembling as he gripped the edges of the bathtub, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

That once handsome face was shrouded in deep pain, and looked terrifyingly gloomy.

Lu Xiche slowly closed his eyes and sought calmness.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes, Shen Yunxi's beautiful face and her graceful and charming figure appeared involuntarily in his mind.

Every smile and every turn were like movie scenes that kept playing before his eyes and could not be shaken off.

"Xi'er..."

He opened his eyes and gritted his teeth, gasping for air as the pain spread.

The voice is filled with endless longing and desire.

This strong emotional desire burned fiercely in his body, almost making him collapse.

It made him want Shen Yunxi even more.

The water level in the bathtub also fluctuated with the man's chest rising and falling with his breathing...

Outside the door

Liu Ren hasn't come back yet, Knight and the other three are still guarding the door diligently.

The air around was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly.

Finally, Nick, unable to suppress his strong curiosity, spoke first to break the silence: "I have a question I really want to know."

Hearing Nick's words, Lei Yan, who had been silent all this time, slowly turned his head, looked at him with a suspicious look and asked: "What's the problem?"

Nick took a deep breath and lowered his voice mysteriously and said, "The master was fine just now. When and how did he get poisoned? Who of you knows the inside story?"

After a moment of contemplation, the intelligent Knight said confidently, "Besides the food, the master only drank one drink downstairs. So... I think there is something wrong with that drink."

"That's right!" Lei Yan echoed with a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, "It was Arnavi who asked that lowly woman to fetch the drink. Maybe she took the opportunity to secretly tamper with the drink and replaced the original normal drink with the one with the aphrodisiac."

After finding out the truth, the hot-tempered Nick couldn't help but curse: "How despicable! That ugly bitch is so shameless!"

After cursing, Nick suddenly sighed without thinking: "But our master is really patient. Even after being poisoned by such a strong aphrodisiac, he can still maintain such a clear mind and rationality!"

Hearing Nick's words, Lei Yan glanced at him disapprovingly and responded slowly: "That's naturally because the master has an extremely strong willpower. If it were any other ordinary person, I'm afraid they would have already sunk into it and couldn't extricate themselves!"

After listening to the two people's words, Knight suddenly interrupted thoughtfully: "Willing to endure great pain and suffering but still resolutely refusing to touch other women, isn't it that the master strictly abides by male ethics and only has the lady in his heart?"

"It should be said that it is both!" Knight paused and then added.

The air became quiet again.

At this time, nearly half an hour had passed quietly, and Nick couldn't help but complain anxiously: "Speaking of which, it's been so long, why haven't Ryujin and the doctor come yet? It's really frustrating!"

Lei Yan slowly responded at this time: "Don't worry, they may still be on the way."

"Master is in such a state of distress, how can I not be anxious?"

Nick couldn't hold back his dissatisfaction after all, and complained again.

At this moment, Nick seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and rashly suggested to the two of them: "How about we just go find a woman who is as beautiful as Miss Shen Yunxi?"

As soon as Nick finished speaking, he immediately felt two sharp gazes like blades directed at him.

His heart skipped a beat, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. He coughed subconsciously, and then stammered, "You...you...why are you two staring at me...like that?"

Knight frowned and said in a serious tone, "What are you looking for? Didn't you hear what the master said just now?"

Lei Yan, who was standing by, also echoed, "If the master doesn't even look at the woman who dressed up carefully and threw herself into his arms, how can he be interested in other women?"

"Let's not talk about this. If they really come, you will be the first one to be killed after the master recovers!"

After being scolded by the two, Nick suddenly felt extremely aggrieved. He pouted and muttered to himself, "I'm just worried that the master is too uncomfortable! That's why I came up with this idea..."

"That's a good idea!" Knight said to him in a suggestive tone, then paused for a moment, rolled his eyes at him, and said word by word, "Just shut up!"

This time, Nick was choked and completely speechless.
