Chapter 1534 - 1523: The Night-Raiding Girls
Remembering the scene of rejection, Zi Yun complained, "Cai'er, where did you read all this nonsense?"The girl in purple, Cai'er, pouted and said aggrievedly, "That's what the book says! I can't repay the kindness for saving my life, except by offering myself."
"I've told you not to read those nonsensical books." Zi Yun couldn't help but reprimand, "They're all just up to no good, deliberately trying to lure you in, and in the end, who suffers?"
"Exactly, Cai'er. Have you forgotten Sister Ping? Those beasts are fine, but Sister Ping ended up…"
At these words, all the women fell silent, a trace of sadness appearing on their faces.
Recalling Sister Ping's ordeal, Cai'er's face turned pale, but she quickly regained her composure and muttered softly, "But Young Master Ning is not like those Hu Family beasts."
Zi Yun sternly rebuked, "Nonsense! Young Master Ning is our savior. How can those beast-like Hu Family men be compared to him?"
"Yeah. That's Young Master Ning. What's the deal?"
"I just want to repay Young Master Ning."
"Did you notice? Young Master Ning's skin is so fair, his features are handsome, much more so than the eldest son of the Hu Family."
"Ugh! Don't mention that Hu Family brat."
...
After a comfortable hot bath, Ning Fan found himself unable to sleep, his mind occupied with many thoughts.
Thinking of the Hu Family's actions, he ground his teeth, feeling death was too easy for them.
Thinking of the women's plights, he sighed endlessly, pondering how to settle them in the future.
...
Even late into the night, Ning Fan still had no sign of sleepiness.
"There's movement!"
At that moment, Ning Fan's eyes narrowed, and then his cautious expression turned strange.
"What are these little girls up to, not sleeping in the middle of the night?"
Clearly, Ning Fan heard footsteps from the front yard, although the eight women tiptoed as if they were thieves, making their steps very light.
But to deceive Ning Fan, such a cautious level was still far from enough.
The footsteps approached closer, accompanied by "hurried" breathing, evidently showing the person's nervous mood.
After a slight creak, Ning Fan's wooden door was gently pushed open.
All eight women, without missing one, entered the room.
"They don't plan to hack me to pieces, do they?"
Ning Fan closed his eyes, a myriad of thoughts flooding his mind.
In the middle of the night, in such a strange place like the Hu Family, he had to be cautious and on guard.
It's important to remember these women were not all "good characters."
At that moment, Ning Fan smelled a waft of orchid fragrance, and he knew who the owner of the scent was.
Even though Ning Fan hadn't opened his eyes, he knew Zi Yun was standing by the bed, gazing at him.
After all, the close, rapid breathing couldn't fool Ning Fan.
"What on earth is going on?"
Feeling a pair of soft, smooth hands caressing his cheeks, Ning Fan felt more and more odd.
Just then, a whispering voice sounded, "Sister Yun, is he asleep or not?"
"He's asleep! You all come over, I'm a bit scared."
Hearing this, Ning Fan was utterly baffled, "She's scared? Scared of what? Scared to act alone?"
With a room filled with fragrance, the women tiptoed over, surrounding Ning Fan.
"He really is asleep!"
"Keep it down, don't wake him up."
"What should we do now? Who'll go first?"
"I'm scared. You all go ahead first."
"Me too. It's my first time doing this. I heard it leaves a lot of blood and is very painful."
"You scaredy-cats! Didn't we agree earlier? We face this together."
"Cai'er, you're the bravest. Why don't you go first?"
"Sister Yun, why don't you go first? I'll be the second, okay?"
"I... what if he wakes up, what then?"
"Hehe! Sister Yun, don't worry. I added petals of the Breathing Rain Flower to his bathwater; he won't wake up that fast."
"Cai'er, you little troublemaker, using the Breathing Rain Flower."
...
"What's the Breathing Rain Flower? Could it be a sedative?"
Ning Fan was puzzled; he hadn't noticed anything unusual during his bath.
Listening to their fragmentary conversations, Ning Fan was completely befuddled, but he remained cautious and kept his eyes closed, "I really need to see what they're plotting."
After a while, seeming to have made up their minds, Zi Yun gently said, "Why don't we do it together?"
"How can we do it together?"
"Of course we can. If you don't agree, I'm leaving."
"Alright. It's a rare opportunity; it's not easy to come across this again."
"You're right. Let's do it together, then."
"Take action!"
Upon hearing these words, the still-not-awake Ning Fan suddenly panicked and shouted, "Hey! Where are my pants? Why are you pulling down my pants?"
Ning Fan could no longer play dead; just moments ago, seven or eight hands stripped him completely.
Ning Fan's sudden exclamation was like poking a hornet's nest; the eight girls covered their eyes and screamed, "Ah," "Ah," non-stop.
The sharp, panic-stricken voices made it seem like they encountered the most terrifying thing.
"Alright, stop screaming."
Ning Fan said with a face full of grievance, "If anyone should be screaming, it's me. I'm the victim. Out of nowhere, you barged into my room in the middle of the night, planning to do what exactly?"
No one answered Ning Fan, the girls hurriedly ran towards the door, but they hadn't stepped out before they found they couldn't move.
"Stop trying to run."
Ning Fan calmly said while putting on his pants, "Who wants to explain to me?"
Hearing this, the screaming girls all covered their faces, looking down, staying silent.
Seeing the girl in purple with her head down and not answering, Ning Fan shifted his gaze to a girl in colored clothes.
This girl seemed very bold; even though she covered her eyes, she secretly parted her fingers, observing him through the gaps with curious eyes.
"Your name's Cai'er, right?"
The girl in colored clothes nodded and shook her head simultaneously, making Ning Fan feel both amused and helpless.
"Stop pretending. I know it's you. You were the one who added something to my bathwater, right? What does the Breathing Rain Flower petal do?"
Cai'er replied with her hands covering her face, "It calms the mind and aids sleep."
"Do you think I should believe you?"
Finishing, Ning Fan silently complained, "It calms the mind? No wonder I couldn't sleep today; it might be because of those petals."
"It's true; I'm not lying to you."
In her excitement, Cai'er subconsciously let go of her hands, then quickly covered them again.
"Stop covering up; I'm wearing pants now."
Ning Fan said irritably, "You had the guts to strip me, but now you don't dare open your eyes."
"But your shirt isn't on yet! I'm practicing 'see no evil.'"
Cai'er's naive words immediately made Ning Fan burst out laughing.
"Okay! Now I'm the one being the rogue. Since you don't plan to speak up, I'll have to point and ask directly."
