Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

In his confused state of mind, Xie Wei felt as if he was soaked in warm water. His body was hot and itchy. He wanted to reach out and touch the uncomfortable parts, but his hands were restrained by something.

Sal's cold gaze fell on the person in his arms. He reached out and took the cup beside the bathtub. He drank the red liquid in the cup himself, and then fed it to Little Rose, who was in a coma and unable to swallow on her own.

The red liquid is the juice of the Spring Fruit, a magical fruit unique to the Far North Territory. This fruit can cure any degree of frostbite and can also increase the fertility rate of the Parasau people.

Due to the extremely harsh living environment, it is always very difficult for the Parasau people to conceive a child. Many couples have tried for more than ten or twenty years but still cannot conceive a child.

Therefore, in the Far North Territory, children have always been extremely precious since ancient times.

When food is scarce, everyone will find ways to find food for the children. For the Parasau people, cubs need to be carefully cared for.

They not only love children of their own race, but also have a certain kindness towards children of other races.

For a long time, the ancestors of the Parasau people were troubled by how to reproduce, until they discovered the spring fruit.

In the beginning, spring fruit was crushed and applied to frostbitten areas. When the juice of this fruit comes into contact with the skin, it will cause a stinging pain like a burn, but it can quickly and effectively treat frostbite, and will not even leave any sequelae or scars after the frostbite heals.

Later, someone had a sudden idea to swallow the spring fruit to see if it could also treat frostbite. It turned out that not only could it treat frostbite more quickly, it also did not cause pain to the injured area.

There will just be some reactions that are difficult to talk about. The juice of this fruit will enhance the body's desire, and the more you consume, the stronger the effect.

This ancestor who ate the spring fruit had been married to his partner for forty or fifty years, but had never been able to have a child. However, not long after he ate the spring fruit, his partner became pregnant.

From then on, the Paraso people would collect spring fruits to eat when they wanted to have children.

Xie Wei suffered severe frostbite all over his body. Fortunately, during the days when Sal was looking for Xie Wei, he asked all the search teams to bring spring fruit juice.

He just wanted to be on the safe side at the time. After all, Little Rose was only wearing one piece of cold-proof gear when she left, but it turned out that she actually saved Xie Wei's life.

Whenever he thought about finding Xie Wei, Little Rose was lying soundlessly on the snow, and Sal felt as if countless steel needles were pricking and stirring his heart.

If they hadn't discovered it early, and if there hadn't been a special power in Shiavi's body that was sustaining his life, they might have lost Little Rose forever.

Originally, Sal just couldn't accept that Xie Wei escaped from him, but now he found that what he couldn't tolerate even more was that Xie Wei injured himself and almost lost his life in order to save others.

His partner, who was so fragile that he needed to be protected at all times, used his thin shoulders and soft hands to pull a maid who had briefly taken care of him out of the misty forest.

This made Sal extremely annoyed and helpless. Sal couldn't understand what Xie Wei was thinking. He couldn't understand him, but in a sense, he got to know his partner again.

Sal fed Shevi the juice of ten spring fruits, which not only cured Shevi's frostbite in time, but also allowed his body to recover its original functions in a short time.

But another effect of the spring fruit will continue to torture the little rose until the frostbite is completely healed.

Although it doesn't hurt, the feeling is quite excruciating.

Xie Wei's skin was too fragile, and after eating the spring fruit, his frostbitten parts only felt a little hot and itchy, but not painful. However, if someone touched the injured parts, he would cry in pain while unconscious.

This directly resulted in Sal being unable to help Shevi. He could only hold Little Rose and soak in the holy spring, trying to use the holy spring to relieve his partner's discomfort, but the effect was very limited.

So most of the time, Sal could only imprison Little Rose's body and let her get through it on her own.

During this process, Little Rose sobbed because of pain and called his name from time to time, causing Sal's sanity to collapse many times, but each time he would leave Little Rose before losing control.

He couldn't touch his partner now. A hug now would not bring happiness to Little Rose, but would only make her feel fear because of the pain.

Sal didn't want to leave any indelible shadow on Little Rose because of this matter. He had made Little Rose feel scared at the beginning, and then he used many methods to make Little Rose barely stop being afraid. He didn't want Little Rose to have resistance to this kind of thing again.

Xie Wei was in a coma for three days. He woke up because of the spring fruit. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the familiar bed curtain.

The whole room was eerily quiet.

Xie Wei turned his neck with great effort and found that he was wrapped in a soft animal skin under the quilt. His whole body was bound by the skin and no part of his body below the neck could move.

This state of complete confinement made him feel very terrified. During the years he was locked up in the tower, he could still move freely in that small room, but now he could only lie on this big bed like a puppet, in this small space covered by the bed curtains.

"Is anyone there... Sal? Toya... Celine... Dylan?" Perhaps because he had been fed potions and water on time, Xie Wei did not feel thirsty. He called everyone he knew one by one, but no one responded to him.

Xie Wei lay on the bed, staring at the bed curtains. He suddenly realized that this might not be the bedroom on the top floor, because there was no mechanical sound made by the turning gears of the grandfather clock in this room.

He also didn't smell the incense that Toya would often light for him.

A terrible thought emerged in his mind. This time, Sal might really not let him see anyone again. He might have locked him up in a place that only he could enter.

Thinking of this, Xie Wei ignored his still very weak body and used the magic that could cut objects to cut the animal skin that wrapped him. After a long time, Xie Wei finally cut the animal skin that wrapped him.

His body was feeling uncomfortable and he was sweating profusely, but as the hide was untied, Xie Wei looked at his smooth skin and did not find any trace of frostbite on it. Even his injured hands were completely healed.

But when he accidentally touched some parts that had been frostbitten before, he would instantly feel so much pain that his vision went black.

Sitting up with the quilt wrapped around him, Xie Wei moved to the bed and lifted the bed curtain. What he saw was a strange room without any extra items.

The most luxurious thing in the entire room is this huge bed with pillars. Apart from that, there is only a cabinet and a chair beside the bed, and nothing else.

There wasn't even a kettle or cups on the cabinet; the whole room was empty.

Xie Wei couldn't find any clothes or shoes, so he could only stand barefoot on the cold stone slabs wrapped in bedding. He endured the pain in his feet and walked along the dark stone wall, slowly groping the wall.

Then he discovered with some despair that Sal had locked him in a room with nothing in it except a big bed, a cabinet and a chair.

Xie Wei couldn't find a door, there were no windows or vents, and there was not even a place to take a bath or solve physiological problems.

The lighting crystal was embedded in a place high up that he couldn't reach, and there was a magic circle that maintained the temperature in the room and supplied fresh air.

He had no way to contact anyone outside here, he could only wait for Sal to come back, but he didn't know when Sal would come back.
