Shui Xisi was wrapped naked in Ji Yuan equally naked embrace as she asked softly, "Ji Yuan, do you love me?"
"Of course I do." Ji Yuan laughed. "Did I manage to tame you?"
Shui Xisi punched him hard, "Never!"
"Then why are you submissive in my embrace now?" Ji Yuan asked with a chuckle.
Shui Xisi rested her head warmly on his chest, "I feel a little bad now."
"Why so?"
Shui Xisi looked up and asked gently, "My core protégé Shui Qingqing likes you as well. How am I going to break to her that we are together?"
Ji Yuan smiled weakly, "But I've no feeling for her."
Shui Xisi hummed, "How about Wan'Er, Chen Hanhan, Yu Jingjing and Feng Minyue then? Is my Qingqing less inferior to any one of them?"
"Of course not!" Ji Yuan immediately protested weakly.
He quickly sighed, "She is a very good maiden and she can always find a better man. As for me…"
"As for you, you're nothing but a bad and poor rascal." Shui Xisi interrupted him.
The next trial will be the toughest trial that Ji Yuan will ever face.
