With a swift stroke of the knife, the water's surface was stained a deep crimson!
Yan Jinyi seemed to have anticipated that Yan Ruoyu would treat him so cruelly; he bit his lip until it bled.
He didn't utter a sound, even though he actually had the strength to resist them.
But in the end, it may only result in a lose-lose situation.
If I could stay by this princess's side, that wouldn't be bad.
Zhongli Yueluo felt her hands loosen, and she was only wearing these handcuffs.
"And that severed hand is about to sink to the bottom of the water," Zhongli Yueluo said coldly.
"Let's continue. I don't need a piece of trash as my lackey!"
Yan Ruoyu thought the same thing, and used her magic to pull him back.
Yan Jinyi was in pain and his face was pale, but his eyes were filled with greed; he only wanted the princess.
There was no love involved, just a desire to possess!
But before he could make any further moves, a blood-red flute appeared in Zhongli Yueluo's hand.
He had never seen anyone's natal magical artifact so elegant, and this was the first time he had ever heard of someone controlling people with music.
But then he heard that piercing, hoarse sound, as if thousands of ants were crawling all over him.
Sometimes he felt as if a giant hand was choking him, making it impossible to breathe, and other times he felt as if a thousand needles were being inserted into his limbs.
He felt something coursing through his blood, and he twisted and curled up in the water.
Zhongli Yueluo now looked like a demon, dripping with blood, and her eyes were stained with a layer of crimson.
"I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect it to be such an arrogant fool!" She calmly put away the blood flute.
He casually splashed his hands in the water, trying to wash the blood off his body.
Yan Ruoyu relaxed at this moment, at least he hadn't done anything to wrong the princess.
She also ensured that nothing happened to the princess right under her nose.
When he relaxed, he suddenly fell into the water because his magical power was exhausted.
The splashing water made it inappropriate for them to lie in this pool filled with the smell of blood.
She tore off several strips of cloth from her body, chanting incantations that imbued them with her magical power.
Then they tied up Yan Jinyi's limbs.
"Feng Jun and the others might still be struggling to find the key. We need to notify them as soon as possible."
Zhongli Yueluo was discussing serious matters with Yan Ruoyu, while Yan Jinyi chuckled softly beside her.
"Princess, why don't you take a look at my foolish brother? He's suffering terribly from the aphrodisiac!"
At this moment, looking at Yan Ruoyu in the water, her cheeks were flushed, and a strange blush spread across her body.
This was not good. She played another tune, hoping to calm him down, but it seemed to have no effect whatsoever.
"Hahaha, Yan Ruoyu, Yan Ruoyu, no way, you've been married for so long and haven't consummated your marriage yet!"
His mockery at that time, especially during a theatrical performance, sounded rather harsh.
He channeled his magic power, creating a splash of water.
"Shut up, Yan Jinyi!"
"You get angry and embarrassed after I hit the nail on the head, which is unlike you."
Zhongli Yueluo found his talking too noisy, so she gagged him with a wad of cloth and pulled Yan Ruoyu out of the hot spring.
"Princess, don't worry about me. I'll recover after a night of rest and recuperation."
Zhongli Yueluo simply helped him to the hot spring pool in the distance, where at least the water was clean.
The two men submerged in the water, which cleaned away the smell of blood from their bodies, and their hair floated in the water.
No one dared to approach anyone else. Yan Ruoyu tried her best to suppress her desires, for the person in front of her was a genuine princess.
But he didn't want to leave such a bad impression on the princess, especially in this kind of environment.
But then he felt Zhongli Yueluo's very soft hand caressing his body and then tightly gripping it.
His pupils dilated, and he trembled all over: "Princess..."
"Actually, this is fine too, isn't it?" Her eyes held a hint of ambiguity, yet she seemed to be suppressing something.
Perhaps it was this environment that made her feel uneasy, so a large hand grabbed her small hand and pressed it underwater.
"Princess, that's it... um..."
The eerie red on his cheeks slowly faded, but the stiffness in his body did not ease at all; in fact, it worsened.
Heaving heavy breaths from his nose: "Princess... could you go faster...?"
His tone was pleading, and his eyes even glistened with tears. Zhongli Yueluo's hands trembled slightly.
"How about this?" Her tone was soft and gentle, as if she wanted to soothe his emotions.
"A little higher up, is that okay?"
Zhongli Yueluo's fingertips traced his chest intentionally or unintentionally, and he succumbed, trembling incessantly in the water.
Finally, he let out a low "humph," wrapped his arms tightly around Zhongli Yueluo's back, buried his head in her shoulder, and trembled.
Zhongli Yueluo's hands were also slightly numb, and this was all she could do for now.
She whispered in his ear, "Is it any better?"
He slowly released Zhongli Yueluo, his gaze somewhat evasive, before his cloudy eyes cleared.
"Much better, Princess," but her voice was still low and hoarse, as if she hadn't had enough.
"Next time, let's take a proper shower together." Zhongli Yueluo smiled as he massaged her wrists.
As he rubbed it, he brought it to his lips and gently pecked at it, his eyes filled with longing and adoration.
Then he looked up at her, his tenderness almost overflowing.
"Yes, Your Highness's hands have worked hard today."
Her cheeks inexplicably turned red; this was due to the urgency and the unavoidable circumstances.
After calming their breathing, the two stood up from the hot spring without much lingering affection.
After getting dressed, he went to the other side of the hot spring and picked up Yan Jinyi.
Yan Jinyi knew what had just happened from the scent emanating from the two of them.
He closed his eyes and shook his head. Since his mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak, he could only complain in his heart.
“After I was taken away, they used the map Yan Jinyi gave them to look for the key,” Zhong Liyue said to Yan Ruoyu.
"Although he is the ruler of this territory, there are other rulers in the areas he has designated."
Yan Jinyi twisted his body on the ground, groaning and making noises, but it was impossible to hear what he was saying.
Left with no other choice, they had to untie the strips of cloth.
"Yan Ruoyu is right. They are all very abnormal and cannot be controlled by me."
Yan Ruoyu also found it troublesome. The rulers of Jin Jun's territory were all top-notch experts, and they loved to manipulate people's hearts!
"So it's no use you arresting me; they won't be threatened at all."
"So you're just a puppet of Jinshi City too?" Zhongli Yueluo shook the handcuffs on her hands.
He laughed maniacally and shook his head: "We just like doing things that are more interesting."
"Ruoyu, we should hurry up and join up with the Su brothers, since they are in a truly vulnerable position here."
"Yes, thank you both for your hard work."
The two then tied Yan Jinyi up and left Tang Jinchi, where they met up with Yin Yi and headed towards the dock where they had started.
