Hua Ruge nodded his head: "A mattress can be taught, Swallow Spring Pavilion is the Shangguan Family's property, if the old procuress does not agree, no one will dare to steal it."

Hong Xiu stood up and bowed deeply to Hua Ruge: "Thank you, young master, for resolving my urgent matter. If I could preserve my innocence, I would be extremely grateful."

"Sure." Hua Ruge picked up the cup of wine on the table and gulped it down.

This was only a stopgap measure, after all, if Hong Xiu could earn more by sleeping with him than by performing, it would be alright as long as he could drag it out for a while.

After a few days, she was no longer the current her.

"I'm going to sleep in your room tonight. Go out and find a place to sleep." Hua Ruge said as he walked towards the bed.

It was the first time Hong Xiu had been ignored like this. Although he tried his best to not appear so muddled, his expression was still a little unnatural.

However, she couldn't bring herself to ask and could only reply, "That young master is resting well."

She went out and closed the door.

Hua Ruge heard the sound of footsteps getting further away and got up from the bed. Using his previous life's lightness techniques, he leapt onto the roof that was as wide as a person, and laid down without wiping the dust on his body.

Although the wisest person would not make their move on her here, she had considered that Fang Lanxin was still a woman, and that the Dragon Mark Ring was related to the one she loved, so she might not be as rational.

After all, those people thought that she was a third stage Soul Master, and did not know that she was already a fourth stage practitioner, moreover, she had activated her soul technique in a flash.

After she finished calculating, she crossed her hands behind her head, causing her crossed legs to stop swaying. Then, she slowly closed her eyes.

However, at that moment, her sharp ears caught a whiff of wind. She opened her eyes, but before she could make a move, someone pulled her leg down from the roof.

F * ck!

She could clearly feel that someone had quickly pulled her down and thrown her head upside down onto the bed. Fortunately, she reacted fast enough to avoid falling head first.

"Who?"

She let out a cold shout as she lifted her eyes to meet the pair of cold, deep eyes. She glared at her master with displeasure, causing her entire body to feel cold.

He was still dressed in a black robe with golden edges and carried a deep aura that wouldn't change even after ten thousand years, pressing Hua Ruge until he wanted to escape.

"If you have any difficulties, you can go find me. How could a woman like you come to this filthy place?" Tuoba Rui frowned, his voice was filled with worry, afraid that his cabbage would be ruined by someone else.

Hua Ruge knew it was useless to endure, he simply glared at him and said: "What I do has nothing to do with you, can you not be so stubborn."

"No." Tuoba Rui replied bluntly: "You are mine, I will not ignore you."

Hua Ruge wanted to vomit blood. Do you think this old lady is a thing?

"If you have time, then you should sort out your rotten peach blossoms. If it wasn't for the broken ring on my hand, I would have been fine." Hua Ruge said snappily.

Tuoba Rui seemed to ponder for a moment, and then said: "The benefits outweigh the drawbacks, it's very dangerous to pluck you."

His meaning was to expose his physique to danger, and Hua Ruge heard him threaten.

"You're a freak." Hua Ruge glanced at him: "The last time you slept on my bed, why are you here again tonight?"

Tuoba Rui was misunderstood, there was no expression on his face, he only said: "I'll take you to see a show."

"You don't even have a TV show here, what's there to look at?" Hua Ruge hugged his pillow and said: "I want to sleep, go back to where you came from."

Tuoba Rui ignored her weird words and grabbed her shoulders with his big hands, wanting to take her away.

"Can you not do this every time?" Hua Ruge was about to go berserk, if you don't want to talk, what's the point of watching this show.

Tuoba Rui was startled by her shout, and then slowly embraced her waist.

Hua Ruge was stupefied, that was not what she meant!

Seeing that Hua Ruge did not object, Tuoba Rui pulled her into his embrace forcefully and flew out of the window.

As a result, the two of them stuck closely to each other. Tuoba Rui finally understood that this was indeed better.

If Hua Ruge knew about his mental activities, he would definitely vomit blood.

She didn't want to fly!

Not long after, Hua Ruge arrived at the dome of a three-story building.

"Let go." Hua Ruge pushed him, sticking so closely to a man made her feel uncomfortable all over.

Tuoba Rui released her hand as he said, and didn't force her.

Hua Ruge stood alone. When the spring wind blew, she, who had just came out of a warm room, still wasn't used to it yet.

"Over there." Tuoba Rui pointed to a direction two to three streets away.

This place was very high, to the point that Hua Ruge could clearly see that many people wearing black were smashing the shops that were already closed.

These people seemed to do this sort of thing frequently, Hua Ruge had already done quite a bit when he saw it.

In the midst of her doubt, she felt a warmth on her shoulders. She looked over and saw that she was already wearing an ink-colored cloak.

Tuoba Rui turned her body over to tie the belt.

Under the moonlight, his expression was focused. His handsome appearance made people feel that he wasn't real.

Under such a situation, being protected by such a man seemed to be enough to move all the women's hearts, yet it just so happened that they met Hua Ruge.

"How long has it been since you washed your cloak? It stinks." She had a look of disgust on her face.

The aroma of the highest quality ambergris wafted in the breeze, exquisite and long.

Tuoba Rui carefully pulled at her little body, allowing the big cape to completely cover her little body.

Seeing that he did not say anything, Hua Ruge asked again: "You want to take me to see this show?"

"Fang Wenxuan took the initiative to send out the Fang family's underworld forces to attack you. I used some methods to lure the Hua family's underworld forces to meet them, and then one of them mysteriously died. The two families started to fight, and many people died.

Tuoba Rui explained calmly. It was rare for him to be so patient.

Hua Ruge's heart trembled. She knew a lot about the underground powers, it had always been a family of officials. Which official didn't have a gang?

She had offended these two families the most since she came to the capital. Now that they were fighting, there was naturally no time to deal with her.

Tuoba Rui, is he helping me?

"The two families are in the same boat, and every move they take will affect you. They will certainly cause a huge ruckus, and they will not come looking for trouble with you for a short period of time." Tuoba Rui said again.

Hua Ruge withdrew his gaze from the people who destroyed the shop and turned to look at Tuoba Rui who was beside him.

It was the first time she had looked at him in such a way.

"Why are you helping me?" she asked.

Tuoba Rui looked at her seriously: "I won't allow others to bully you."

Hua Ruge ignored his nervousness, and said: "Since you helped me, then I will help you treat your illness, and at least I don't owe you anything."
