57 CHAPTER 57 : PILLOW TALK

"So, what exactly happened that night?", she asked. She is mentioning about the night their child was conceived.

Knowing which night Li Xi Rui is talking about, he replied, "We were ambushed by the enemy. I was in the middle of drawing the assassins to a remote place and had just passed by the inn when suddenly I was knocked unconscious".

He looked at her face. "Who would have thought that a lady falling down can actually knock a high level cultivator unconscious? But that remind me of how wild that lady was", he teased.

She turned scarlet. This man is actually teasing her right? How dare he mention about that night in front of a lady? It's improper. Li Xi Rui seems to forget that their position now is also improper. "You! I was drugged that night!", she reprimanded him. How could she forget about that night?. "You even left marks all over me!", she grieved.

His eyes twinkled. "But you also did leave scratch marks all over me", he teased her.

"I did?", Li Xi Rui didn't know that.

"You did. So, let me take responsibilities. Did you forget, I told you I will take responsibility before taking your virginity?", he asked.

"Yes, you should!", she said with her red face. She wouldn't let go these golden thighs. That would just be foolish. Her family has a chance to live. So, she would grab whatever it is.

"Well, even if you disagree, you have to agree eventually. If you didn't, I would die heirless", he revealed.

"What do you mean?!", suspiciously she asked the smiling man.

"You have my mark. That night I have marked you. It's on your inner thigh", he whispered. His tone low.

"What?! You marked me? Without my permission?!", Li Xi Rui is now mad. How could he do that without permission?! She frowned.

"I didn't know that was you", he explained. He tells her about the Qilin mark. That is the symbol of his family. The mark indicated the position of the head of the clan. It can only be passed to the first woman the man had intimate relation with. And only the child born to the woman can have the mark indicating the next clan's head.

In Long Jie's case, it indicates the next Qilin sect's master. "Besides, it was you who took the initiative, so take responsibility", he said. It's true that the one making the first move was Li Xi Rui, so it was her responsibility.

"Fine! I could take responsibility. But explain to me when did you know that the woman that night was me?! I took off before you get up remember?", she wouldn't let Long Jie put all the blame on her. So, she trapped him with a question.

"Several days after I rescued you from the bandits", he said. The first time he felt jealous.

Li Xi Rui narrowed her eyes, "So, you have known about it all along? Did you get close to me on purposed?!". She is fuming. She didn't know why she is mad. All she knew that Long Jie made her angry!

That night, Long Jie was chased out from her room. She slammed the door right in front of his face. Long Jie could only watch the close door. He was confused. One time she was cunning. Then she was embarrassed. After that she gets angry. He could never understand her. Confused, he slowly left the courtyard. The night breeze seems to calm his nerve down.

Inside the room, Li Xi Rui turned from angry to embarrass. He finally left! Talking about that night made her ashamed. She has decided to not refuse his advances, but talking about it with him made her a bit hot. Her face is not thick enough to initiate the first move when sober. Next time she promised. She just needs to thicken her face a bit more. 'Yes, just a bit more', she said to herself.
