Just like the Situ family, there are many powerful factions in China that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. The Assassin’s Alliance is one such force, though it was not passed down through familial lines.
Nobody really knows the true nature of the Assassin’s Alliance, but they hold many secrets unknown to the public. After all, where there is light, there is also darkness—this is beyond doubt.
“Do you know the strength of the Assassin’s Alliance?”
Since he had decided to get involved, Xiao Yufan wanted to know exactly what the Assassin’s Alliance was capable of. However, he wasn’t afraid, as he had the full backing of both the Situ and Su families.
“Not a single person in the Assassin’s Alliance is ordinary. China is full of hidden talents, and there are definitely no shortage of powerful individuals!”
Dongfang Yanran appeared relaxed, but inwardly, she was somewhat worried. It was true that she was a member of the Assassin’s Alliance, but this time, someone had caught her off guard, and it would be extremely difficult to deal with.
Xiao Yufan fell silent. It was undeniable that although the Dark Sect was powerful, it was still not enough to rival an ancient family, let alone go head-to-head with the Assassin’s Alliance. This was indeed a thorny issue…
“Seeing you so nervous, are you really worried about me? How touching…”
Seeing Xiao Yufan’s expression, Dongfang Yanran chuckled again, deliberately leaning her body closer to his. The soft curve of her figure brushed against a sensitive part of his body, and Xiao Yufan almost felt a rush of blood to his head.
“If you’re so touched, then marry me already!”
After being teased repeatedly, Xiao Yufan finally lost his temper. He was fine with being teased by her, but could he not tease Dongfang Yanran in return? It would be foolish not to take advantage of the situation, and it would be inhuman not to pursue a beautiful woman.
The second option, however, was not something Xiao Yufan wanted to become, since he wasn’t ruled by his desires. But with such a beautiful woman right beside him, not taking advantage would be a crime against heaven and earth…
“Alright then, come and get me!”
Her delicate fingers gently beckoned, and Dongfang Yanran’s face flushed slightly. Being alone together in a room was a first for her, but the feeling was actually quite pleasant.
“You’re really something!” Xiao Yufan glared at Dongfang Yanran fiercely, completely defeated. This little temptress was impossible to handle—she was immune to both softness and force…
“Are you sure you don’t want me to marry you? If you really want me, I can give myself to you, you know!”
Her legs tightly pressed together, Dongfang Yanran’s beautiful eyes clouded with a hazy look. From any angle, she didn’t look like an assassin, but she was indeed the real deal—the Phoenix Shadow of the Assassin’s Alliance.
Xiao Yufan’s Adam’s apple moved dryly. For the first time, he felt a little uncertain. If he really took this little temptress right here and now, would she suddenly fly into a rage?
But even if she did get angry, what could she do? Xiao Yufan thought to himself. Dongfang Yanran had come here seeking refuge, and she might even attract members of the Assassin’s Alliance to this place. At the very least, he should get some compensation in return…
Thinking this, Xiao Yufan pounced viciously, catching Dongfang Yanran off guard and sealing her lips with his own…
Dongfang Yanran was completely unprepared. When her lips were captured, her mind went blank. This was her first kiss, stolen away so foolishly by this lecher. Suddenly, she felt like crying.
“This must be what they call playing with fire…”
Dongfang Yanran didn’t push Xiao Yufan away. Instead, she seemed to enjoy the sensation. However, her movements were very awkward, and she didn’t even know how to respond.
Xiao Yufan’s heart skipped a beat. Goodness, could this really be Dongfang Yanran’s first kiss? From her awkwardness, he had already guessed as much. Logically speaking, Dongfang Yanran was no longer young—could it be that she had never even been in a relationship before?
“Was this really your first kiss?”
After a long while, their lips parted. Xiao Yufan’s face was very awkward. Impulse was the devil, especially when dealing with a very dangerous woman—it was even more terrifying than the devil himself.
But just as he finished speaking, Xiao Yufan realized something was wrong. Dongfang Yanran’s expression had changed quite a bit. He cursed himself for being too talkative—everything had been fine just a moment ago.
“Do you think this wasn’t my first kiss…”
Dongfang Yanran bit her lower lip, her pitiful expression stirring anyone’s compassion. Without a doubt, Dongfang Yanran in this state was the most devastating. Especially her clear eyes—they could make anyone’s heart melt.
“I believe you!” Before Dongfang Yanran could fly into a rage, Xiao Yufan quickly responded.
“So you took my first kiss—you must take responsibility for me!”
Xiao Yufan, who had just been speaking with conviction, instantly deflated at these words. It was just a first kiss, right? Surely it wasn’t enough to demand responsibility. After all, he had kissed countless women before—was he supposed to be responsible for each and every one of them?
“Big sister, I told you, I already have several women, and I love them all very much…”
“I know!” Dongfang Yanran nodded, seemingly unconcerned. She knew Xiao Yufan’s background very well—his level of infidelity was something she had never seen before.
“I…”
Xiao Yufan wanted to say something else, but when he saw Dongfang Yanran’s stubborn gaze, his heart involuntarily tightened. Was this woman really just simply fond of him?
“So you’re saying you don’t want to take responsibility!”
Casually playing with her long, loose hair, Dongfang Yanran’s lips curved into a relaxed smile, her eyes flashing with a hint of cunning. She was determined not to let this man remain indifferent.
Looking at Dongfang Yanran, Xiao Yufan thought of Qingluan from before. He had rejected a beautiful woman throwing herself at him, which was something he found hard to believe. Perhaps he thought Dongfang Yanran had ulterior motives for getting close to him, which was why he had refused her so firmly.
“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I’m going to take a shower…”
As Xiao Yufan struggled for a response, Dongfang Yanran laughed again, slowly easing the awkward atmosphere. But soon after, Xiao Yufan saw the little temptress actually beginning to undress right in front of him.
“Big sister, this is my room. You can’t possibly take a shower here!”
Xiao Yufan almost felt his nose bleed. Seeing her shirt already pulled up to her stomach, his eyes couldn’t look away. Her flat stomach was smooth and clear, and Xiao Yufan could vaguely see a hint of dark shadow just below it.
“I’ve decided—I’m going to sleep here tonight. I won’t be comfortable sleeping anywhere else…”
With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Dongfang Yanran pointed at the large bed, more than big enough for several people, and smiled sweetly…
