Chapter 1458: Chapter 1465: Brothers (1)

When her eyes darted around and suddenly saw Living Yama Saknu sitting on the side of the couch, she was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes again, pretending to remain unconscious.

Ever since she was taken out of the Xianbei Empire’s Capital by Lei Da, she knew that if she couldn’t escape, she would sooner or later meet Saknu. If she still had her Space, she would have loved to meet him to release her white tiger to devour him, eliminating future troubles once and for all. However, her Space was sealed, and with her current power, fighting against Saknu was like throwing eggs against rocks, with absolutely no chance of winning.

Therefore, while figuring out a foolproof response, continuing to feign unconsciousness was the best strategy.

Luckily, Saknu did not notice she had awoken. He still had a stern face, sitting like a golden knife on the horse beside her couch, watching Master Lei Da perform the ritual.

Master Lei Da danced for a while, then he stopped and respectfully said to Saknu, “Great Khan, I have removed Lady Yan’s sealed curse. Just give her a bath to wash away the magical items on her body and change her clothes. Lady Yan will then be restored to her original state.”

Lady Yan? Hearing this title made Cai Wei feel a shiver down her spine, damn it, this twisted monster actually considered her as his wife, utterly despicable!

However, another piece of news exhilarated her; Lei Da mentioned that her sealing curse had been lifted. Did that mean she could reactivate her Space? If so, she could leave today.

Upon hearing Lei Da’s words, Saknu waved his hand signaling him to leave and then turned around to lift Cai Wei from the couch, striding towards the Cleansing Room behind the hall.

As he carried her in his embrace, Cai Wei didn’t know what he was going to do. Her heart was pounding so hard that she could hardly remain calm. Fortunately, Saknu had no other intentions. Once they were in the Cleansing Room behind the hall, he placed Cai Wei on a soft little bed and said with a hoarse voice, “Someone, help Lady Yan take a bath!”

“Yes!”

Four maids serving Inside immediately responded and hurriedly helped Cai Wei to undress.

After Saknu gave his orders, he left. He could not stay here. He always had poor self-control when it came to matters between men and women. So, these days, every time she took a bath or changed clothes, he would not be present. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly give in to his beastly desires and lose control over his urges.

She was still carrying a child, and in a comatose state. With his strength, touching her would be akin to killing her. He couldn’t bear to see her hurt, and he was even more afraid that an accidental move might kill her. Therefore, he deliberately avoided any provocative scenes to prevent himself from losing control.

Only when she heard his footsteps leaving did Cai Wei finally let down her guard.

Although she had been unconscious these days, she was clear that Saknu had not defiled her, because she was afflicted with the Cloud-rain Gu. If she engaged in relations with any man other than Nangong Yi, she would surely die from the Gu Poison’s effects.

So, up to this point, she was still chaste, which brought her some relief. Although she was a modern woman, not valuing chastity as much as ancient people, when a woman falls in love with a man, she can’t help but hope to preserve her chastity for him because it not only serves as a testimony of her love for him but it’s also her responsibility towards love.

In the warm bath water filled with bright red flower petals, Cai Wei was carried by two palace maids into the bathtub, almost sighing in comfort.

The moderate warmth of the water made every pore on her body comfortably open up, and every cell in her body joyously jumped, feeling indescribably comfortable.

When the body is comfortable, the brain naturally becomes much more active than before.
