The person standing opposite was not someone else but Xie Jing Xing.
Under the flickering light in the dark, his brows were as handsome as a painting but they were tightly knitted and there was a chill that was very different than during the daytime as if he was a different person.
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu had seen Xie Jing Xing several times so they naturally knew who this person was. With hearts full of surprise, they could not help but stand in front of Shen Miao to protect her.
However, it was Mo Qing's first time seeing Xie Jing Xing. He did not know what kind of person Xie Jing Xing was but from Shen Miao words, he came to know that both of them knew one another. Xie Jing Xing stared at Shen Miao and after pondering for a moment, he smiled and let go of his hand. In a blink of an eye, the sword was returned to Mo Qing.
He lazily retreated to the door and said, "Shen family girl, to be able to meet here, one would say that you and I are fated or destined."
She Miao did not pay attention to him and instructed Mo Qing and the two maids, "Quickly leave."
Jing Zhe and Gu Yu glanced at Xie Jing Xing before nodding in agreement. However just as they were leaving, Shen Miao said to them, "You all leave first, I will follow behind."
In the dark night and under the small light, one could see the small flame slightly flickering as Gu Yu panicky responded, "Young Lady…"
"Leave!" Shen Miao opened her mouth. Her order was short and firm making Gu Yu to tremble. Mo Qing shook his head and dragged one maid away by the hand and jumped out of the window and headed outside.
Xie Jing Xing's hands were resting at his neck as he watched her actions with interest. Shen Miao fumbled to the front of the table and before the fire extinguished, she managed to find that incense burner and lit the incense that was found on the table. After which, she then wanted to withdraw from the room.
Just as she was about to do that, she saw Xie Jing Xing's brows knitted and suddenly with his fingers, he extinguished the flame. In the blanket of darkness, a figure suddenly swept in front of Shen Miao and lightly grabbed her waist. Before Shen Miao could react, she fell into a gentle embrace. That person held her and rolled to the area below the bed.
"You…" Shen Miao was incessantly furious.
With a "Sh", Xie Jing Xing voice sounded by her ear, "There is someone coming in."
Footsteps sounded in the room and Shen Miao stiffened.
She had never imagined that these people's movements were actually this fast.
The fortunate thing was that these new persons did not lit the lights in the room but that was what she expected. According to that person's nature and love of stimulation, naturally lights would not be lit.
Someone outside said, "Prince Lord, everything is arranged properly."
"You all can retreat and stand guard outside. Don't interrupt this Prince's exhilaration" Another slightly hoarse voice sounded and Shen Miao's eyes slightly moved. It was indeed Prince Yu.
"Shen Xin, Shen Xin…" Prince Yu's voice was filled with complacency. It seemed that there was an abnormal level of excitement. "This Prince want to try out, what is the difference of taste between your daughter and those other women?"
Footsteps headed towards the front of the bed.
Shen Miao's fist gradually clenched and tightened.
Xie Jing Xing lowered his head slightly. Due to their positions, his chin was pressed against Shen Miao's head and he could smell the young female's light hair fragrance. Even though he was unable to see Shen Miao's expression due to the darkness, from the tense posture of her body, she was not in the least indifferent as she seemed to be.
There were already sounds of clothes ripping from the bed. Prince Yu's voice was ferocious and endless dirty language flowed out. Shen Qing seemed to have restored some of her sanity and started to show some resistance. But the sound was soft and it did not sound like resisting but as if it was welcoming.
The air was filled with a taste that made one's heartbeat increase. As the smell gradually spread, together with some Orchid fragrance, it was sucked into one's abdomen.
Shen Miao also gradually felt that something was not right. Her heart 'ge deng' a beat, now she had to suffer from the aphrodisiac incense that she lit before she wanted to leave. She had never encountered such a situation before and could not help but lash out on the uninvited Xie Jing Xing. If it was not because of Xie Jing Xing's sudden appearance, most likely she would had long left by now and she would not have fallen into feeling such embarrassment. Thinking about this, she glared ferociously at the culprit.
Unfortunately there was no light and no one could see anything. Shen Miao hesitated a little, as she was afraid that any big action would startled the people on the bed, she could only cover her mouth and nose with Xie Jing Xing's clothes.
She remembered that the fragrance was not a good thing and reminded herself not to smell it so much, so then she thought of using Xie Jing Xing's clothes to cover her nose and mouth but had forgotten that Xie Jing Xing was a male.
When Xie Jing Xing realised that there was a problem with the incense, he had already breathed in too much and unfortunately there was also a little girl in his embrace. The current Shen Miao was still wet behind the ears and even though she had a flat body, she had the flesh and fragrance of a beauty. His body tensed up and in this critical juncture, Shen Miao shuffled closer to his body and half of her head was buried into his arms.
Xie Jing Xing took a deep breath. Since birth, this was actually the first time that he was in such a difficult situation. Looking at the top of his head, that big bed was squeaking and shaking non-stop and the female's and male's voices were intertwined, making anyone else blush. That sound of activity would make one suspect if this bed would be able to stand the action or collapse directly.
After clenching their teeth and hearing for almost half a Shichen (1 shichen = 2 hours), the movements on the bed got gradually smaller and halfway there was a rest. Shen Miao's body was just too stiff but just at this moment, she felt Xie Jing Xing holding her and rolled out before taking the advantage of the open window and flew out. It was dark and there was no light and she did not know how he could see that clearly, but fortunately Prince Yu was not disturbed.
Not far away, they saw the anxious faces of the three of them. Upon seeing them coming out, Jing Zhe almost jumped up in excitement but was afraid that the sound could be heard outside, she softly said, "Young Lady, this servant was worried sick. Just now someone went in, would it be found out…" Her words ended abruptly because it was only at this moment that she clearly saw Shen Miao's posture.
Shen Miao was still being carried by Xie Jing Xing, his body was well build and was able to carry her effortlessly. Jing Zhe angrily said, "Quickly put down my Young Lady!"
Xie Jing Xing raised his brows and let go of his hands. With a "pa" sound, Shen Miao fell directly onto the ground.
"You!" Gu Yu was enraged and indignant as she did not expect Xie Jing Sing would be let go in such a rude way. She quickly supported Shen Miao in anguish and comforted, "Is Young Lady alright?"
Mo Qing stared at Xie Jing Xing as his heart was filled with surprise and suspicions. This seemingly noble Young Master's martial arts skills were superb and he himself was actually powerless against him. To possess such level of skills would make him raise his eyebrows but to appear here in the middle of the night was indeed suspicious. Just now when he brought Gu Yu and Jing Zhe out, they saw people going into Shen Miao's room and behind them there was a group of highly skilled guards. If he did not hide quickly, then there would have been trouble. Mo Qing could not help but look at Shen Miao. Could it be that Shen Miao had long known that there would be such a group of people coming tonight? Then what was the reason for bringing Shen Qing over?
Shen Miao stood up and patted the dust on her body before looking calmly at Xie Jing Xing, "The deeper the night the more exposure there would be, will not disturb Little Marquis from working. We will leave first." Her attitude was very alienating.
At this moment the heavens did not stop the drizzle and the fine silk-like rain landed on her, making her clothes wet. Just with that little light from the lantern outside, Xie Jing Xing's eyes swept across her face and suddenly smiled as if he was watching a good show, "To leave here, one would need to go through the outer courtyard which had a number of guards defending it. If you want to head to death, this Marquis would not stop anyone from heading to their death. So please."
His words were said annoyingly and there was a stubborn smile on his face. Shen Miao looked at Mo Qing. Mo Qing shook his head and said ashamedly, "This subordinate do not have any confidence alone."
Although Prince Yu was incompetent, his subordinates were not vegetarians.
"Little Marquis seemed to know what to do." She said after a moment of silence.
Xie Jing Xing's lips hooked up to a smile as he got up to leave and did not pay attention to the intention of this group of people.
"Can you lend a helping hand?" She asked.
Xie Jing Xing turned back and after some pondering, he nodded his head, "It's not that it cannot be done but… If you beg me, I will then bring you all out."
