"Hmph. That spineless cuckold is so irritating. If he won't stand up for himself, he can't blame others for treating him like a dog."
The beautiful young woman raised a slender finger, casually tucking a lock of dark hair behind her ear. She might have looked like a gentle, mature woman, but the words from her red lips were pure venom.
"So? Are you still going to hold my hand now that we're inside?"
"...Ahem. I'm just staying in character. This is how Huang Wanshi acts."
Though her little trick had been exposed, Jiu stubbornly held her ground, trying to look perfectly justified—
But the deep blush that had already spread from her ears to her neck, blooming on her snow-white skin, gave her away.

She was only protecting Pei Yuhang for the Holy Daughter.
'That's right, it's all Huang Wanshi's fault,' she thought. 'Her lustfulness is affecting me! Otherwise, why would I try to steal something that belongs to the Holy Daughter?'
