Chapter 39: Chapter 39

You Are Mine

Bai Ye felt her body tense, but…

Yu Jiuchong leaned in close and breathed in her scent. He grinned as he pulled her static body into a hug, as if she was a life-sized doll.

Bai Ye felt shivers up her spine and could not resist asking, “Can you release me?”

Her words were ignored as Yu Jiuchong’s hands continued to caress her head and back. His wandering hands pressed and pinched her body but did not travel to the forbidden regions. Bai Ye thanked her lucky stars.

The fondling went on for some time.

Bai Ye’s expression darkened as she wondered if the man was actually a pedophile. The invention of human-sized dolls had yet to arrive in this century, so…

“Prince Jiu, are you done?” The fondling had gone on for 15 minutes and Bai Ye was losing her patience.

“Oh… Mad?” Yu Jiuchong asked with a satisfied smirk. The fire in her eyes captivated him. Bai Ye would be furious if she knew Yu Jiuchong was intentionally pinching her to observe the changing expressions in her eyes.

Bai Ye took a deep breath to calm herself. She came to the conclusion that she would have to strike first before he immobilized her in their next encounter.

“Fine, I’ll stop.” As if sensing she was at her limit, the pinching stopped. However, in the next second, Yu Jiuchong lifted her at her waist and tossed her onto the bed.

“You…” Anger and shock flashed in Bai Ye’s eyes. Before she could react, her body was pressed against the tall frame of Yu Jiuchong.

The position they were in was undoubtedly suggestive.

What made Bai Ye even more incensed was…

“From today onwards, you are mine, remember that,” Yu Jiuchong whispered into her ear as his hand caressed her tensed waist.

What did he mean? Did she unknowingly sell her body in exchange for the jade participation badge?

“Don’t embarrass me during the Erudition Trials,” Yu Jiuchong said.

The words made Bai Ye breathe a sigh of relief—she was glad her fears were proven wrong. “Don’t worry.” Bai Ye believed she had the skills and abilities to adapt and survive the trials.

“Confident, aren’t we?” Yu Jiuchong treated her like a doll he could stroke and hug shamelessly.

There was an angry voice in Bai Ye’s heart demanding for the man’s arms to be amputated. She decided she would do it the next time they met. Her body was not a plaything to be fondled with.

Bai Ye bottled up the anger in her heart and replied amiably, “Why else would you choose me?”

The answer pleased Yu Jiuchong. He tightened his hold on Bai Ye, forcing her to feel his chest expanding as a peal of laughter escaped his throat. The low rumble of his laugh was sexy.

To make things worse, the soft silk fabric between them allowed Bai Ye to feel his defined muscles. His laughter was incredibly close to her face. She could even smell a distinct fragrance coming from the man.

Bai Ye willed herself to hold her breath. She did not want to fall under the devil’s spell.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When the laughter died down, Yu Jiuchong spoke into her ear, “I know you’re looking for Dark Spiritual Energy. At the final stage for the trials, there is an ancient tomb.”

The words caught Bai Ye by surprise.
