Chapter 324: Hero Saves the Beautiful Person (5)_1
The pestilence had finally been sent away, and the heart that he had been holding in his throat finally relaxed.
Thankfully, he had arrived in time and the woman King Qin had an affinity for had not been violated by Saknu. Otherwise, not to mention his official cap, even his head might have to be moved.
Looking at King Qin’s appearance, he seemed to truly cherish this woman. He had once heard from his classmates who had traveled around the capital that King Qin, who was born by the current emperor, did not indulge in women. He was already in his twenties but did not even have a serving girl, let alone a wife. Now it seemed that these rumors were not credible...
Nangong Yi, holding Cai Wei, walked on the trail of Xiaoyaoshan Manor. At this moment, his days of worry and anxiety had transformed into a stomach full of pity. He looked at her gently, his heart softened into water.
The little girl had been harshly bullied when he was not around. Although she had some special abilities, she still lacked the power to protect herself. This was just in an isolated small county town. If she were to go to the chaotic capital in the future, with her exceptionally beautiful appearance, she would certainly attract more incidents. Then, how would she protect herself?
She was insistent on setting clear boundaries with him, as if she would consider him a stranger from now on. But without his care, how would it be easy for her to struggle in the capital all by herself? If she encounters any issue, how would she handle it herself? And how could he just sit back and ignore, pretending not to see?
While he pondered with a mix of emotions, Cai Wei buried her head in his chest. Her heart was also like a bottle of mixed flavors overturned, with sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty tastes all rushing up to her heart.
That he could come from the sky just when she needed him most was truly a great surprise for her.
Even without his help, she would have been all right. She was already determined that once the Beast Saknu took her to a deserted place, she would summon the white tiger to eat him and then escape. However, the consequence of doing so could possibly expose her space and even implicate her family again, which was something that she did not want to see. By then, she had no other choice but allowed the Beast to violate her in order to protect her secret.
Luckily, he arrived and saved her in time. He was willing to cross swords with the twisted monster for her, risking his life. She would never forget this deep affection in her lifetime. Although she couldn’t reciprocate his deep feelings and couldn’t repay him, at least, the seeds of gratitude and being moved had already been sown in her heart, ready to germinate...
