“I don’t know either. That’s strange. It shouldn’t be happening…” Hallie’s eyes darted around, full of confusion.
Just then, an old man with gray hair walked hurriedly into the courtyard through the archway. He turned back and called urgently, “Hurry up, faster!”
He hurried ahead, followed by two burly men. The two men were carrying something completely wrapped in a quilt and moving quickly behind him.
Isaac focused his gaze.
The old man who walked briskly into the room was the same one who had attended the auction earlier that day.
“What’s wrapped in the quilt must be the fox girl,” Hallie exclaimed softly.
Soon, laughter erupted from the room. Then, the old man and the two burly men came out and disappeared from the courtyard.
Isaac and Hallie exchanged puzzled glances as they looked at the now-empty yard. They hadn’t expected to see such a scene.
***
In a luxuriously furnished room on the eastern side, luminous stones embedded in the walls lit up the entire space. A young man dressed in a dark blue brocade robe was half- lying on the bed.
He had fair skin and looked handsome, appearing to be over the age of 20. He poured a pill from a small bottle, swallowed it down with a sip of water, and then glanced at the quilt-wrapped bundle on the floor. His eyes grew increasingly fervent.
Jad had been plotting to get the fox girl ever since favonovel.com heard about favonovel.com appearance in Southcoln City. As the only son of the city’s lord, favonovel.com had long grown tired of ordinary women.
However, fox girls were classified as demon beasts. The kingdom’s laws tightly restricted humans from possessing them. If his father found out, the consequences would be grave. So, from the moment favonovel.com purchased the fox girl until today, Jad had been living in torment.
Finally, his father had gone to the Royal City to meet the king, giving favonovel.com a chance.
“Haha, I can smell your enchanting scent even through the quilt!” He picked up a candle from the bedside table, slowly walked to the quilt, and began to unveil it bit by bit.
A young and attractive face appeared before him. Her blue eyes were filled with fear, which was a rare spectacle for him.
“You’re so smooth!” Jad stroked favonovel.com cheek.
With a sudden tug, favonovel.com tossed the entire quilt away.
The fox girl’s hands and legs were bound. She was only wearing a thin, white gauze dress. Rolling over, favonovel.com body was fully exposed to Iad.
“You‘re drop-dead gorgeous, truly breathtaking!” Jad approached, slightly tilting the red candle in his hand.
A drop of hot wax fell onto the fox girl’s leg.
She lacked the strength to resist after being force-fed drugs, and favonovel.com limbs were bound tight. The intense pain caused tears to well up in favonovel.com blue eyes. She pleaded softly, “No, please don’t… Please let me go…”
“Let you go? I spent 300,000 taels of gold to buy you. How could I let you go?” Jad spoke as favonovel.com set down the red candle and untied the ropes on the fox girl’s hands and feet.
“Beauty, you need to serve me well, understand? From now on, you should address me as your master. Because your life is in my hands!” Jad lifted favonovel.com chin and slowly lay on the floor.
The fox girl sat up, biting favonovel.com lip. Looking at Jad, who was lying on the floor, favonovel.com began to tremble intensely.
“Oh, I forgot that. You don’t understand anything.” Jad sat up again.
He laughed, grasped favonovel.com white tail, and whispered, “Let me teach you then!”
Right then, the door creaked open. He ignored it, thinking it was only the sound of the breeze.
But in the next second, two figures appeared in the corner of his vision. He turned his head sharply to see Isaac and Hallie standing 15 feet to the right, glaring at him.
