Sitting in the sect's courtyard, Zhao Tian glanced at the moon glowing in the sky, its light illuminating the world below them.
As he felt a presence behind him, he turned his head to look at Li Xueyan and smiled gently "Xueyan..."
Eh? He was quite surprised as Li Xueyan's face had a faint touch of makeup, a pink blush softening her cheeks.
Li Xueyan quickly sat beside him on the bench and leaned her head on his shoulder "Why did you suddenly call me out on a night like this..." she asked placing a hand on his thigh, her fingers curling up.
Hearing the shyness in her tone, Zhao Tian sighed in his heart 'I just called her to have a talk, but seems like she thought of something else...'
'How can I bring that topic when she is like this?'
Letting out a soft sigh, he muttered "I just want to spend some time with you, nothing much."
Oh...
Li Xueyan's heart fluttered, and her hold on his arm tightened slightly.
She gently rested her cheek against his shoulder, her body relaxing as she let out a contented sigh.
Time passed as both of them sat there silently, with the chirping of some insect noises filling their ears.
Eventually, after what felt like hours of quiet comfort, Li Xueyan lifted her head. The cold night breeze played with strands of her hair, brushing them across her face.
"By the way... Tian, Jia pulled you aside earlier today. What happened after that?" she asked, her tone casual but with a hint of curiosity.
Zhao Tian glanced at her and muttered "She pulled me to the training chambers and we were sparring for some hours, that's it."
Upon hearing this, Li Xueyan gave a faint nod "I see..."
Gently intertwining his fingers with hers, he asked "And I was speaking with Jia... why she hates you."
Hearing this, Li Xueyan's gaze trembled and she spoke "She must have told you that I killed our father."
"Yeah... Xueyan, did you really?"
H-Huh? Li Xueyan's face went pale, and she shook her head quickly, her voice rising in panic. "No, Tian! I didn't... I didn't kill my father!"
Her father, who had been silent until now, stood up with a sorrowful expression on his face. "Please, Yan'er... just this once. Do this for me."
H-He is sober this whole time?
Li Xueyan panicked even more and muttered "Father.. what is this?"
The man laughed wickedly and spoke "Your father lost the bet.. and his loss is his eldest daughter, for tonight, you belong to me."
Li Xueyan's breath hitched in her throat, and her eyes darted to her father, searching for any sign that this was some kind of sick joke.
But the cold, detached look in his eyes shattered any hope she had.
Father?
He smiled softly, as though his words weren't ripping her world apart. "Just endure it, Yan'er. It's only for tonight."
"W-What the hell are you saying to your own daughte-"
Her father cut short her words "I have raised you all these years after your mother died and you are complaining?"
"I already got my money.. tch, I just thought of using your body for money."
Li Xueyan shook her head "N-No.. this is wrong, I won't let you...." she spoke, slowly backing away from them.
*woosh* Suddenly she felt a pressure on her and her gaze flickered to the man's wicked smile as he licked his lips "I am also a cultivator, dear... I like it when they resist, I shall train you properly in the bed."
Feeling the pressure building upon her, her eyes quivered 'I-I can still handle it.. he is just one level above me it seems.'
As she gritted her teeth to stand the pressure she tried to move her body.
The man slowly made his way towards her, enjoying the panic on her face.
"Struggle more.. kukekeke."
