“Why?”
Luo Ye stared in disbelief at Hisina, who stood beside him without a single thread of clothing. A thousand words crowded in his mouth, but she gave him no chance to speak.
Because after turning him into Luo Ye)(Kadiya, Hisina conjured a spike of extreme cold, piercing straight through his chest.
“You…”
Hisina still carried a trace of the charm she had before falling asleep. Her delicate shoulders and flushed cheeks told of her sensitive body, but she didn’t seem to be lost in that excitement. Instead, her expression grew colder by the moment.
She had no intention of avoiding Luo Ye. Bit by bit, she dressed herself, putting on lace, tying her undergarments, her fair toes tiptoeing on the floor as she slipped into her alluring off-shoulder dress.
Every movement exuded a mature woman’s charm—a woman fully ripened, just picked.
Yet, she seemed not the least bit happy about it. Instead, her eyes brimmed with anger toward Luo Ye… No longer the resentful widow of a noble house, but the sorrowful grievance of an innocent young girl.
Luo Ye thought, What are you even aggrieved about?
He was the one who had been forced. Now, after being taken advantage of, he was also the one about to be killed. Why did it seem like he was the one who’d gotten all the benefits?
Is there no justice or reason left in this world?
Luo Ye clenched his teeth, forcing himself to stay clear-headed for a little longer. He had to bring as much intel as possible into the Simulated World—he couldn’t go in empty-handed.
“You… Why did you come to deceive me and take advantage of me, when you haven’t even been with Alicia?”
Tears sprang from Hisina’s eyes, as if she had suffered a tremendous grievance. Only now did her expression match that of a girl her age.
But Luo Ye thought, Why do you only show your true face when you’re wronging me?!
“You say I took advantage of you?”
“You didn’t even give me a chance to explain!”
“You attacked me without a word, made me drink that aphrodisiac Dragon Phoenix Blood.”
“Did I have any chance to explain? Why don’t you give me a chance to explain!”
Luo Ye glared at Hisina. At this point, there was no need to be accommodating. He could already feel death approaching—no matter how hard he focused, his vision was starting to blur. So, he might as well get everything off his chest before dying.
“You perverted, woman-obsessed maniac, you forced yourself on me right from the start! You probably never had the chance or courage to do this to Alicia, so you vented everything you didn’t dare do to her onto me, thinking since Alicia and I are already like husband and wife, you could use me as a substitute.”
“But you miscalculated—not only did you fail to get your substitute, you even lost your precious first time!”
“Honestly, you were quite… well-lubricated.”
“You!”
Luo Ye sneered. Hisina was furious, pointing her finger at him. Even as cold frost swept over Luo Ye, turning his naked body instantly red and purple from the chill, his mocking smile never faded.
But he had miscalculated.
Because he saw Hisina suddenly change her expression, her smile deepening, carrying an unfathomable meaning that sent a chill down his spine.
“Hehehehe… You forced me!”
“Letting you die just like this feels a bit unfair to you.”
A crystal-clear vial appeared in Hisina’s hand. The bottle was so bright and transparent it looked priceless, even though it was just a vessel. Who knew how precious the contents inside were.
She gently uncorked the bottle, poured a fragrant, pill-shaped white object into her hand, then looked up at him with a seductive gaze.
“His Excellency Luo Ye, do you know? This is another heirloom of our Duke Family of Luolang. It’s said to have extraordinary life-saving powers—as long as you aren’t killed instantly, it can keep you alive. Even if it’s the demon Satan from hell, with this Family Treasure from our Duke Family, you could at least live another two hours.”
Luo Ye: ???
“What the hell! You spendthrift!”
Hearing Hisina’s explanation, he more or less guessed what she was about to do.
Was this woman really going to humiliate him even before he died?
No, impossible, absolutely not allowed!
Luo Ye tried desperately to control his body. In this extreme cold, his blood was draining slower than expected, but if his body warmed up, he would die.
Death wasn’t scary.
But he wanted to die with a clean name.
To be drained dry by a perverted woman and die this way—he couldn’t accept it!
“Ah la ah la, you’re still resisting even now?” Hisina’s eyes sparkled with a smile. “So energetic. Looks like I don’t have to worry about you running out of strength halfway through.”
Luo Ye glared at her, wanting to tell her he’d rather die than submit.
But before he could react, Hisina suddenly gripped his jaw. Under his shocked gaze, a glass of ice water materialized out of thin air. She dropped the Family Treasure into the ice water and crushed it, then took the whole thing into her mouth.
Luo Ye was left full of question marks.
Wait a minute, wasn’t this thing meant for me to drink?
Why are you drinking it yourself?
Even if you’re the heir to the Duke Family, you can’t waste things like this!
But before Luo Ye could complain, Hisina’s next move made his eyes widen.
He felt his lips grow wet, blocked by something soft. She forced him to swallow it in an intimately close manner.
“You know?”
After feeding him, Hisina stood up and brushed back her hair. “According to the Empire’s laws, forcibly administering medicine is a criminal offense, so I had to do it this way.”
“You…”
…
[Omitted: Ten thousand words.]
…
After a wave of dizziness, a bright light enveloped Luo Ye’s entire body. He instinctively raised his hand to shield himself and closed his eyes, feeling his mind go fuzzy.
“Hey there, want to buy some apples?”
A vendor’s shout brought him slowly back to his senses.
Luo Ye lowered his hand and looked up, only to see the same one-eyed uncle with a toothpick in his mouth, looking at him expectantly.
He glanced around. As always, the bustling Market was filled with people coming and going, shoppers everywhere, the atmosphere lively and vibrant.
Did I enter the Simulated World again?!
And it’s the same starting point.
So, is this a fixed respawn node?
“Hey, are you going to buy or not?”
The uncle in front of him took the toothpick from his mouth and glared impatiently. “If you aren’t buying, stop standing there in a daze—you’re blocking my business.”
“Buy, I’ll buy.” Luo Ye tentatively patted his pocket and found a few copper coins. He handed them to the Apple Vendor. “Boss, could you tell me what day it is? What year, month, and day?”
The Apple Vendor took the coins, counted them, gave Luo Ye a strange look, but still packed the apples and replied, “Today is Imperial Calendar Year 24, the fourth day of September.”
“I see. Thank you, Boss.”
So the Simulated World is just like the real world.
A few days pass in the real world, and a few days pass in the Simulated World too.
