Eighth Master laughed and cursed, then kicked me. He said sternly, "Where is your face pale? Damn... you can't even handle a woman? Let me tell you, if you can keep her happy, at least she won't ruin our plans. This woman is incredibly erratic; if you offend her, who knows what she might do. Thorin only has one daughter, so we can't afford to offend him now."
Sure enough, just as expected, the "princess" ran out no sooner than we left the gambling table. She was dealing cards as the dealer, a move that was clearly a trap… a trap to get rid of me, this pretty boy. Naturally, she wouldn't stay standing there dealing cards to those people anymore.
"Baby, why did you come out in such a hurry?" The princess smiled seductively, almost like a different person. She seemed to have completely forgotten about our argument yesterday and today, and casually said, "Don't you have enough gambling money? I can lend you some..." As she said this, she deliberately bit her lip lightly. She leaned close to my ear and whispered sweetly, "If you don't have the money to pay it back... paying for gambling debts with your body is also an option."
Depend on!!
"Are you really going to sell your little brother?" I instinctively looked at Eighth Master, but as soon as the old man saw the princess come out, he immediately nodded as a greeting and then ran off faster than a rabbit.
This lewd princess in front of me is someone I can't afford to offend. At least I'm on the same side as Eighth Master now. Although we have a grudge, I still can't ruin the important matters of my organization for the sake of greater interests. I sighed, suppressing my discomfort, and said with a wry smile, "No, it's just that my gambling skills are really terrible. I'm worried that I'll lose more and more, so I might as well quit as soon as possible."
Just like the weather in June, she's unpredictable and can change her mind in an instant! As soon as I finished speaking, the princess glared at me, her face darkened, and she angrily said, "Did you see that woman Yang Wei and couldn't bear to beat her? You were so good in the previous rounds, how come you suddenly lost and ran away?"
Damn it! You're asking me? I want to know the reason too! Who am I supposed to ask?
I'm completely confused right now.
What is a ring? For me, a ring has always been my last treasured possession! Although it's caused me far more trouble than it brought me any benefits, it's undeniably useful! It truly works!
Think about it, from the first time I carelessly put on the ring, to the later times I used it intentionally or unintentionally... how could I not be invincible? Regardless of how much I suffered from the side effects and felt gloomy, when I used the ring, I was incredibly powerful!
But today, it suddenly stopped working!
It's like a great man who has just helped a young woman onto the bed, stripped her clothes, and is about to get down to business, only to look down and find that his penis is gone!
What do you call that feeling?
I lack confidence!
Whether the ring is good or bad, it has always been my source of confidence! I know that even if I encounter despair, I still have something magical I can rely on! My last trump card… Now, suddenly, that trump card no longer works…
Seeing that I was in a daze and didn't answer her, the princess looked a little unfriendly and gave a heavy snort as if she was about to get angry. But then her eyes lit up, and instead of being angry, she smiled. She affectionately took my arm and pulled me to the side.
The more I thought about Yang Wei's strange look, the more suspicious I became. That look in her eyes was so complex; I sensed she definitely had something to tell me…
"Darling, don't be upset even if you lost money." The princess smiled slightly, picked up two glasses of champagne, handed one to me, and then gently clinked glasses with me. Her eyes seemed to be brimming with tears as she looked at me with a seductive expression: "Come on, cheers."
I was helpless. Because of Eighth Master's instructions, I still couldn't be too cold to this woman. I glanced at her, then tilted my head back and drank the cup.
I saw the princess pursing her lips and smiling at me, a smile that held a hint of mischievous malice, as if she had successfully pulled off a prank, and seemed to carry a hidden sense of smugness...
As I was still in a daze, I suddenly felt my body sway, and then everything in front of me seemed to shake, gradually becoming double-image! The princess's smile gradually blurred in my eyes, and even the sounds around me seemed distorted and slowed down!
People, tables, walls, distant buildings—suddenly they all started spinning… The problem wasn't that they were spinning, but I started spinning too. Finally, my legs gave way, I opened my mouth to shout, but no sound came out. My body went limp, and I felt dizzy and lightheaded…
"This woman drugged me!"
This was the last shred of consciousness in my mind.
I felt like I was in a half-dream, half-awake state. Everything around me seemed to be playing out like a movie, like scenes flashing by, appearing and disappearing in a flash.
My mind is no longer a complete and conscious awareness; everything has become fragmented…
I vaguely felt that I was being placed lying somewhere, surrounded by darkness... Perhaps this was my hallucination, or perhaps it was because my eyes were half-closed and my field of vision was too small.
I was always lying down, looking up, my eyelids heavy. I seemed to see the princess looking down at me with a smug smile on her face. Then I felt my clothes being taken off, and someone changed my clothes. Finally, I saw the princess pick up something and put it on my face...
At that moment, I fainted, and everything went black.
I felt my body floating, moving. Of course, it's also possible that someone was lifting me.
My eyes were a little blurry, but I could vaguely hear some strange chanting around me. The sound was familiar, like the kind of ritual from that lewd party the princess had taken me to...
But I couldn't tell the difference accurately.
Finally, I completely passed out...
I had a dream, I really had a dream.
I dreamt I was downstairs at my home in China. The street, the streetlights, the trees—everything was so familiar. I even saw a delicate figure ahead of me, holding a raincoat. From behind, she had long, flowing hair and a slender waist.
Through the rain, that figure looked increasingly familiar. I tried to reach out and touch her, but my fingertips were always just a little too close!
I tried to shout, but only a very faint and hoarse sound came out of my throat.
Just as I was sweating profusely, she finally turned around.
The drizzle was like smoke. She turned around and smiled in front of her, but her beautiful face was filled with heartbroken hesitation, tears in her smile!
My vision blurred; I just instinctively felt I should know this woman! I recognized her face so well…
But who exactly is she?
She seemed to be Yan Di, or perhaps Fang Nan. I don't know if I couldn't see clearly, or if her face was constantly changing?
I could finally reach out and touch her! But just as my fingers were about to land on her shoulder, her beautiful face suddenly changed, transforming into a coquettish expression of feigned anger. She glared at me and said fiercely, "Little Wu, how dare you forget your old lady! Your uncle can tolerate this, but your aunt cannot!"
Buzz!
I felt dizzy!
My head is throbbing!
I felt my senses returning bit by bit, but waves of aches and pains washed over me, a feeling of extreme weakness and exhaustion. It took a lot of effort to open my eyes, and my little fingertip trembled slightly...
However, there was a strange situation: although my whole body felt very weak and limp,… a certain part of my body was unusually firm, as hard as iron…
This strange feeling left me somewhat bewildered. As waves of headaches stimulated my senses, I couldn't help but let out a soft groan.
My lips are dry and cracked.
Just as I uttered my first sound, finally, a pretty face with a strange smile slowly stretched out and looked down at me.
Slender eyebrows and eyes, a calm and composed demeanor, a beautiful face, and a hint of cunning and wisdom in her smile.
I regained my senses and let out a wry smile: "Yang Wei? What happened to me?"
I tried to get up, but my body wouldn't obey me. All I could feel was that I was lying on a bed. The only part of my body I could control was my neck.
I turned my neck, but as soon as I turned my head, I saw that there was someone else lying on the bed next to me!
The princess lay beside me, covered by a thin sheet. From the exposed parts of her shoulders, I deduced that she was underneath the sheet. She was probably naked.
She was fast asleep, her head turned to the side, facing me, her eyes closed, a strange blush on her face, giving her a somewhat alluring look, her breath sweet, as if carrying a faint hint of spring...
I was startled. I immediately realized I must have passed out, and moreover, I must have been drugged!
But then I struggled a bit, and when I turned my head back, I found that there was another person lying on my other side!
This person really gave me a fright!
This is a man. He has a muscular build and brown hair. He's lying face down on the bed, shirtless, revealing his muscular back. Judging from his arms hanging naturally at his sides, he's probably unconscious. His lower body is covered by a blanket... so he's probably naked too?
I was utterly shocked! When I woke up, there was a naked man and a naked woman lying on either side of me, and I was in a limp state, clearly naked myself...
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Then I opened my eyes. I became more awake again and saw Yang Wei standing at the foot of the bed, looking at me with a half-smile, her hands behind her back. She was still wearing the same blue dress she wore to the banquet today, her hands casually behind her back.
"What...what happened?" I tried to ask.
Yang smiled smugly. But her answer left me speechless.
“Oh, it’s very simple…” she said casually, “You were almost drugged and raped.”
My mouth tasted bitter: "Almost? Date rape?"
My memories gradually returned, piecing together fragments from before I fainted. I quickly came to a conclusion.
I drank the wine the princess handed me, and then I passed out! It's obvious the princess drugged me.
Looking around, I realized I was in a room, exquisitely furnished, with a huge European-style bed—large enough to comfortably seat five or six people side-by-side! Looking up, I saw a massive mirror on the ceiling! The room was filled with a strange fragrance, unlike women's perfume, but rather something that seemed to stimulate human hormones. And there was a ring of candles around the room…
Good heavens, I even saw a leather whip next to the bed!
I took a deep breath, and my strength gradually returned. I tried to prop myself up, but I still held onto the sheet with one hand to prevent myself from revealing anything.
Damn it!
I immediately discovered the secret to this room!
This is clearly the kind of place specifically designed for debauchery! The room isn't large; a huge bed takes up most of the space, and next to it, the entire front wall is just a massive, transparent glass wall! And on the other side of the glass is... the bathroom!
In other words, the bathroom can be seen from the room without any obstruction... This is clearly a design intended to enhance sexual appeal.
Soft Persian carpets, chaise lounges, high heels, whips, leather jackets, leather skirts, candles... Damn, I even saw one or two "sex toys" scattered on the floor, especially a string of transparent beads strung together with some special material... I knew immediately what it was for!
And then I saw the unconscious man beside me, with two faint whip marks on his back...
Yang Wei's ambiguous smile pierced me, making my scalp tingle. I felt so embarrassed by her gaze that I quickly sat up and pulled the sheet tighter around myself.
"What exactly happened?" I felt guilty as I spoke.
"Oh, I just said, you were almost drugged and raped." Yang smiled, a very pleasant smile. "But luckily, today I got to put on a good show of a damsel in distress saving a hero, even though it was a bit cliché."
After I fainted, the princess immediately took me away. The drug she gave me was peculiar; it made me appear drunk. According to Yang Wei, when she later came looking for me, she learned that I was drunk and had been taken away by the princess, so she immediately chased after her.
Yang Wei's group of bodyguards was really capable; they managed to spot the princess's car very quickly.
This place, however, is one of the princess's "nests".
"Then...who is this guy?" I glanced at the unconscious man beside me.
Yang Wei's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but she quickly regained her composure and blinked: "He must be one of the princess's male favorites... and if I'm not mistaken, he should be ranked quite high among the princess's male favorites!"
"……Why?"
Yang smiled mysteriously, bent down to pick something up from the ground, and waved it in front of me.
I only glanced at it, and I was immediately stunned!
This is, unmistakably, a golden mask!
That day, the princess took me to that lewd party, and during that lewd ceremony, the man who presided over the ceremony was wearing this golden mask, wasn't he?!
Could this guy lying next to me be the leader of that lewd party he hosted the other day?
“His name is Pierre, and he’s said to have some Swedish royal blood. His father even owns a count’s head. His family has businesses in Europe and North America. This Mr. Pierre is the eldest son in the family and has lived in Canada for many years, in charge of the family’s business in North America… He’s no small figure!” Yang Wei said leisurely. “I just never expected that he would be a key figure in Her Highness the Princess’s ‘Golden Thirteen’ organization.”
The Earl's son?
I paused for a moment, looking at the man beside me. He looked very strong, with thick hair, but his head was tilted down so I couldn't see his face...
Yang Wei sighed, "To be honest, I was quite surprised to see Pierre when I arrived here... This guy is very well-connected in Canadian high society. He presents himself as a perfect gentleman, young and energetic, with a powerful family background, a noble title, and European royal blood. He's practically a rare young talent in Canadian high society... I've met him twice before in other places, and I've always had a good impression of him. I never expected this..."
Her tone was somewhat mocking. She glanced at me and then deliberately said coldly, "However, it seems that in the princess's heart, you hold a higher position than this count's son! Because it's obvious that the princess intends to have some appetizers first before enjoying the main course... As for this count's son, he's the appetizer, while you, naturally, are the main course!"
I understand.
When Yang Wei arrived, the princess and the count's son were probably doing "something."
