Since Xu Jiaqi was released, she took advantage of the lord's trance to move backwards. Although the hug also gave her comfort, it did suffocate her for a few moments. Not to mention, it made her unsure of her own stability. She deemed that it was dangerous for her to keep intertwining with this familiar soul.
It was as if the soul could suck her into a pool of ecstasy, spoiling her to no end. What gave it such a magnetic effect that she couldn't resist? Like Xie Yongrui, she too tried to pry into the truth behind the two men she encountered.
"My lord.. Are you satisfied?" Xu Jiaqi questioned, looking at him with endearing eyes.
"..No. Hng. How can I be satisfied? I can't seem to get enough of you... Say, did you place a curse on me? Did you feed me with a misleading potion? How come you are able to stir my feelings this hard? Who exactly are you, and where did you pop up from?" Xie Yongrui spoke in a coy tone, pinching the tip of Xu Jiaqi's nose as he scolded her playfully.
