“No, I just didn’t expect it to be you.” Looking at Young Master Jin, Meng Xi also felt somewhat strange. Young Master Jin had always been like her friend. He was even the matchmaker who helped her chase after King Yun. But now they met again after a long time in such a place. Destiny really played with them!

“If it’s against your will, I will leave,” said he quickly. Observing her expression, he was afraid of her being upset.

“It’s okay. Maybe you’re the best choice.”

A trace of self-deprecation appeared in Meng Xi’s eyes. Standing up in her seductive gauze dress, she seemed even more tempting in the candlelight at night. Meng Xi walked slowly to Young Master Jin and forced herself into his embrace with her body trembling nonstop.

Holding the girl he had long desired, Young Master Jin carried her up, closed the door behind him, and put her on the bed. He then got on top of her. But at this moment, he still respectfully asked her if she wanted him to do it. He loved her, so he didn’t want to hurt her.

“Xier, are you sure?”

“Yeah.”

“You won’t regret it?”

Seeing him still hesitating, she untied her clothes and closed her eyes... After that day, Young Master Jin stayed in Meng Xi’s room almost every night. Thanks to the procuress, Meng Xi had never had other clients.

If he could, King Yun would kill every single person in his way. He had never been so furious. His lover Meng Xi had sold her virginity, while his damn mother locked him in this palace for half a month, knowing that. Was he still the dignified ruler of the Kingdom of Yun?

As a model for women in the Kingdom of Yun, King Yun’s own mother had never fulfilled her duty and obeyed the etiquette. There were always men visiting the Empress Dowager’s bedroom, yet she didn’t allow him to bring Meng Xi into the palace, nor did she allow him to go find her. That was such a double standard! How could he stand a mother so shameless? Thinking that someday Meng Xi would also become like his mother, King Yun couldn’t control himself smashing things in the Royal Study Room to vent his anger out.

While people were biding for Meng Xi’s virginity, King Yun could only get crazy in his study room. It was also from that day that the last tenderness of King Yun vanished. In his eyes, there was nothing but ruthlessness and his desire for power.

Be it his mother, his fake father, or his brothers and sisters, anyone who was in his way must be killed. He wanted power to avoid being a fool who could be manipulated and bullied by anyone. Meng Xi was the love of his life. Even though she hated him and had been taken by other men, he would tie her to his side. To win her over, he could imprison her for a lifetime. Anyway, he just didn’t want her to leave.

Finally, the door of the Royal Study Room was opened again. The moment he left, King Yun desperately ran to the biggest brothel in Huaiyang City. It was daytime when most people in the brothel were still in their dreams, but he knocked at the door manically. On the verge of insanity, he didn’t even attend the royal court session in the early morning, nor did he care about how people along the way would think of him.

Imprisoned for half a month, the young king had lost all his sanity. He couldn’t help thinking how his lover had smiled at other men and had been penetrated under someone else night after night. On top of that, stimulated by what his mother did, he could not wait to kill everyone who had been close to Meng Xi. King Yun wanted to lock Meng Xi up, not allowing anyone to talk to her.

“Who is it!? Can’t you wait till we open? You woke me up from my dream! Believe it or not, I’m gonna punch you to death.” A sturdy pimp of the brothel opened the door, still yawning. Yet when he saw the person in front of him, he was too shocked to close his mouth. God, what did he see? Was he still in his dream?

In front of the pimp stood a man wearing a royal robe. Only one person in the entire kingdom would wear a royal robe walking on the street with royal guards following him. What the pimp just said was possible to cause himself capital punishment! Frightened by it, the pimp rubbed his eyes to see if it was an illusion.

Unexpectedly, the man in the royal robe said something directly with a tone cold enough to make one tremble. “Where is Meng Xi’s room?”

Pointing to a direction, the pimp was pushed away by the man before he could say a word. Feeling the pain in his body, the pimp quickly realized how real it was. Scared almost to death, he ran out of the brothel and into the street, not even daring to go back and take his luggage. Damn! It was too scary. He couldn’t believe King Yun was here! Seeing the king’s stern expression, the pimp thought he would lose his life staying there!

King Yun didn’t have time to deal with a nobody like him. He was so angry that he was irrational. He went straight to the place where the pimp had just pointed at and found several rooms there. King Yun didn’t know which one it was. With no one nearby to ask, he just lifted his foot and started kicking the doors one by one.

Kicking open the first room, King Yun walked in and couldn’t restrain himself when he saw a man and a woman hugging each other naked on the bed. He directly pulled up the naked man on the bed and threw him out, only to find that the woman was not Meng Xi. She was much more slutty than his lover. There was no trace of Meng Xi’s elegance in her.

Knowing that he had got the wrong person, King Yun didn’t want to explain. He ignored the scared and naked woman on the bed and left to kick the door of the second room. Inside was a woman who was at least in her 30s. She was with a very young teenager. Did the teenager lack maternal love since childhood? Anyway, she wasn’t Meng Xi.

In the third room were a woman and three men. They must have been through an intense night because an after-sex smell lingered in the whole room. The woman was not Meng Xi either. Two muscly men with a beard were found in the fourth room. King Yun couldn’t bear to watch them! Meng Xi couldn’t be there. Opening the next room, King Yun saw a girl who looked barely into adulthood with a silver-haired man old enough to be her grandfather! Yet Meng Xi was not there.

In the sixth room, there were a fat girl and a thickly bearded man, which was way more normal than the previous rooms. She was not Meng Xi, but this time King Yun, who had already been furious, directly asked the naked chubby girl on the bed under a quilt, “Where is Meng Xi?”

The fat girl replied to him, trembling in fright, “In the yard behind this house.” She didn’t notice that even her voice sounded like a cry.

Hearing that, King Yun rushed directly to the backyard.

As he brawled room after room, everyone in the front hall of the brothel got up. However, scared by that furious man, they didn’t dare to go out. Those guests kicked and thrown out by him could only accept it. They were unlucky since no one dared to mess with King Yun, the ruler of the kingdom! The only thing they could do was take it out on the procuress as soon as King Yun was gone.

Yet, one had to praise Meng Xi for the great variety of the prostitutes she brought here. No wonder this was the largest and most popular brothel in Huaiyang City!

Before the procuress had time to dress up, she hurried over to the yard. But she was stopped by King Yun’s men at the door. Squeezing the hanky in her hand, she kept looking towards the inside of the yard where she couldn’t see anything. On the face full of heavy makeup and fake smile, there was a trace of genuine worry about the fate of the poor girl Meng Xi.

Lifting his foot, King Yun started kicking again. Finally, he came to the right place, but he didn’t see anything erotic this time.

Next to a wooden carved table in the room sat a man and a woman, both neatly dressed. They didn’t seem to just have had sex. Also clean and elegant, the room smelt like nothing but the jasmine flowers in front of the window.

The woman was exactly the one King Yun was crazy about. Still beautiful and charming, Meng Xi just lost the innocence she used to have. Now she had replaced that see-through gauze dress with a normal one.

Seeing King Yun coming in, she got up and leaned in the arms of the man next to her deliberately. Sitting on his lap, she rubbed her face against his chest coquettishly.

“Jin, I’m cold. Hold me tight.”

“Okay. Xier, are you alright?”

“It’s fine. I just feel that something dirty gets in.”

“If you don’t want to see it, just turn your head away.”

“Okay, can I just look at you from now on?”

“Of course you can.”

“You’re the best.”

“I will always be nice to you. Never will I hurt you.”

“I know you’ve always treated me well, no matter on or off the bed.”

“Yeah,” as he said, the man hugged Meng Xi tight, trying to warm the heartbroken girl. He knew about her pain, and he also knew that she was trying to piss King Yun off. While cooperating, he felt even more sorry for her.

...

The intimacy between them was driving King Yun mad. What made him unbearable the most was that the man was his best friend, Young Master Jin. Betrayed by both his lover and his good friend, King Yun, who had already been furious, couldn’t control his anger anymore. For him, there was no such thing as reason.

King Yun walked up and wanted to pull Meng Xi away, but Young Master Jin fought with him directly. Thinking of how King Yun destroyed Meng Xi’s family and sold her sisters into brothels, Young Master Jin punched him even harder regardless of the consequences.

Just like that, the two of them got into a big fight. They didn’t use any internal force and only fought with bare hands.

Most girls, in this case, would shout “stop” anxiously on the side, some of whom might even shed a few drops of tears. However, Meng Xi was never like most girls. Hating King Yun from the bottom of her heart, she went up to help Young Master Jin.

With two people against him, King Yun was obviously at a disadvantage. What’s more, he was not willing to hit Meng Xi, but Meng Xi was clearly using it to protect Young Master Jin and kept standing in front of him.

In the end, King Yun could only cover his face with his arms. Beaten up by them violently, he had to call his guards. Hurriedly pulling away Young Master Jin and Meng Xi, the guards grabbed the two who still wanted to continue the fight.

Despite the pain all over his body, King Yun got up and pulled Meng Xi into his arms. Ignoring her struggle, he hugged her tight and begged, “Xier, don’t do this, okay? I miss you so much.”

“You should’ve been killed! You should’ve been killed!”

These words of Meng Xi tore apart the biggest wound in King Yun’s heart. His father said the same words to him. For a moment, the figure of old King Yun overlapped with that of Meng Xi. The two people he loved the most in this world should love him the most as well, yet they both said, “You should’ve been killed!”
