Chapter 46 The End of One Battle, the Start of Another (2)

Rose gazed at Zhang Wei with suspicion. "Why are you grinning like an idiot?"

She couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind.

However, her curiosity was short-lived as Zhang Wei's grin grew even wider. In a surprising move, he swiftly slapped her firm ass, leaving Rose wide-eyed and bewildered.

!!

Before she could utter a word, Zhang Wei spoke in a firm tone, "A slave should never disrespect his master." Rose's frown deepened, and she gazed at him with a mixture of confusion and helplessness.

She hated being treated like a slave, but she had no choice in the matter.

As Zhang Wei browsed through the shop, his eyes finally landed on what he had been searching for. A glint of excitement shone in his eyes.

Rose watched him carefully, her mind racing with questions. What was he planning? What was he going to do next?

==========

Zhang Wei was at a loss with his 120 points, unable to find any significant use for them. It was then that he thought of buying something for Rose, knowing that every woman loves beauty.

But he had an ulterior motive too.

He wanted to test her loyalty towards him and see if she would still be faithful without the assistance of the system.

This was the first step towards that.

"Take this," he said firmly, as he bought the pill and extended it towards her, showing it to her.

Rose's eyes narrowed suspiciously as she slowly picked up the pill, examining it closely. "What is this?" she asked, her voice laced with doubt.

"It's a healing pill. It will fix your wounds and scars," Zhang Wei explained, trying to sound as convincing as possible.

Rose looked at him for a brief moment before letting out a soft laugh. "These scars are from battles, they are my battle scars. I don't need this," she said proudly, refusing to take the pill.

Zhang Wei shook his head in disbelief, his eyes fixed on the pill resting in her palm. The light glinted off its surface, making it seem almost otherworldly.

He refused to take it, his curiosity piqued by the tattoos on her arm. "If they are battle scars, why are they hidden within tattoos?" he asked, his voice low and accusatory. "Don't expect me to sugarcoat my words, but most women prefer an unblemished body over a scarred one. Scars don't look good on them."

She looked hurt for a moment, her eyes darting between the pill and Zhang Wei's stern face. A lump formed in her throat, making it hard to speak.

"Let me ask you again, are you taking it or not?" Zhang Wei asked.

Zhang Wei's words had created a tense atmosphere, and she couldn't help but feel the weight of his judgment bearing down on her.

She smiled weakly, her hand hovering uncertainly over her mouth. 'Would he really not give me this again? Should I take it?' she thought, her heart racing with indecision.

Finally, she made up her mind and swallowed the pill. It was tasteless, but it didn't matter to her. As the pill worked its magic, she felt a warmth spread through her body, like a soothing balm.

The fatigue from the battle began to fade away, leaving her feeling completely rejuvenated.

She closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the sensation of her skin beginning to heal. It was like tiny needles pricking her, but in a good way. Slowly, she opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Wei, feeling grateful for his help.

"Thank you," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Zhang Wei nodded, a faint smile playing on his lips. "You're welcome," he said, his voice gentle.

She nodded, feeling a sense of peace wash over her.

Zhang Wei was right, and she knew that she would never forget his words.

For the first time in a long time, she felt comfortable in her own skin.

Suddenly, her expression turned awkward as she made a shameless request. "Do you have one more?" she asked, her tone pleading.

Zhang Wei's face twitched in irritation.

Wasn't she acting all proud a few moments ago?

He sighed and decided to ignore her request for now.

He didn't have any more pills, and even if he did, he didn't feel inclined to give her another one.

Finally, his eyes darted to the perfectly made bed, adorned with fresh sheets and fluffy pillows, as if it was waiting for the couple to spend their first night together.

The scent of lavender and rose petals wafted through the air, adding to the ambiance of the room.

"Now that you're healed, let's begin," he said, his voice low and smooth as he moved towards her, like a predator stalking his prey.

Rose, who had been jubilantly celebrating her newfound health, suddenly froze. "Begin what?"

Her mind was in a fog, but when she saw Zhang Wei approaching her, her survival instincts kicked in.

Without thinking, she leapt backward, her body soaring through the air before landing gracefully on the bed. It was a feat that should have been impossible for any ordinary human, but her body moved with a fluidity that bordered on supernatural.

"No, no, no! This wasn't part of the deal," her voice trembled as she saw Zhang Wei standing in her previous spot, his eyes fixed on her with an intensity that made her skin crawl.

She could feel his gaze burning into her, like a branding iron searing her flesh.

Zhang Wei's laugh echoed through the room, his amusement palpable as he watched Rose's confusion and fear.

"I think you are forgetting your position here, Miss Rose," he taunted, his voice dripping with malice.

Rose's face twisted in anger, but it quickly turned to one of horror. "No! This wasn't part of the deal!" she protested.

Zhang Wei's laughter only grew louder. "Then what? You would continue to wait for that bastard who doesn't even care?" He stepped closer to her, his presence overwhelming. "Let me give you a piece of advice - the bed is already prepared. Don't resist needlessly because, with the salve seal on your body, you can't really deny if I give orders."

Rose's mind raced with fear and confusion. 'I can't resist his orders?' The realization hit her like a ton of bricks, and she felt like a trapped animal.

Suddenly, she smiled bitterly.

Zhang Wei was already a powerful magician in her eyes, so why did she accept being his slave without thinking of the consequences?

So those weren't some blank words, but a magical chant?

As she thought about it, she realized that there must have been magical chanting spells to bind her soul to him.

The very thought of this sent chills down her spine, and she wondered if there was any way to break the spell and regain her freedom.
