Su Xiyu was astounded at the sight of the murderous look in Fu Sinian's eyes. Fu Sinian always kept his thoughts calm and rational, but now his mask of detachment cracked. Su Xiyu glanced at Xu Zijin and understood why Fu Sinian became so fierce. This poor woman quivered in Fu Sinian's arms and looked pathetic, her bare skin covered with visible scratches and abrasions.

Su Xiyu nodded and said, "Xu Zijin looks bad. We have to take her to the hospital."

Fu Sinian stood up with Xu Zijin in his arms and strode out of the shack. Su Xiyu immediately followed him. Soon they disappeared into the darkness.

'They starved her, beat her black and blue, drugged her and attempted to rape her...'

Su Xiyu carefully cleaned Xu Zijin's wounds with a grave look on his face. He hadn't expected that she would suffer so much in just a few days.

"Fortunately, these wounds are only superficial. There is nothing seriously wrong physically. But her nerves have been constantly on edge these days. What's more, she is undernourished. So she needs time to recuperate. Now we have to deal with the aphrodisiacs she has taken. It's made from a secret recipe only found in the countryside, mainly for impelling livestock to breed. There isn't enough time for me to compound the antidote. So... I'm afraid the only way to fight the problem is to satisfy her sexual desire."

Fu Sinian clamped his lips tightly and looked at Xu Zijin with fixed eyes. At this moment, she had already lost all sense of reason and been completely consumed by the aphrodisiacs. Her face was stained with reddish hue, like beautiful ripe cherries, ready to be plucked.

She bit her lips, writhing uncontrollably on the bed.

Fu Sinian's eyes darkened with complex emotions. He hesitated for a moment and walked towards her.

Su Xiyu raised an unsurprising eyebrow, turned around and walked out. He was even considerate enough to close the door behind him.

The aphrodisiac had driven her crazy. She had completely forgotten about everything and the only thought in her mind was to satisfy her desire. As soon as Fu Sinian reached her, she grabbed his hands, pulled him close and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I want... I want you..."

Xu Zijin was eagerly tearing at Fu Sinian's clothes and writhing in his arms.

Fu Sinian could no longer keep his desires. He threw his hands round her slender waist and pressed her down upon the bed.

When he came into her, she let out a moan with an intensification of relief and consummation that was pure bliss to her. He took a deep breath and began to move.

Outside the window, there was the light of the stars in the velvet dark. In the room, they were immersed in their own world, completely oblivious of reality. She yearned for the light of the sun, but always walked in the darkness. At this moment, he was the only light of her life.

The next morning, the sun was high in the sky and a beam of amber light poured in through the window, bathing the room in warmth.

Xu Zijin awoke from her nightmare in a cold sweat. Her entire body, especially her private parts, ached as if she had been run over by a train last night. Stunned, she turned pale and and started to shiver.

She struggled to sit up and accidentally touched a man's bare chest.

"Ah!!" she screamed in horror.

'Was I raped by that man?' At the thought of that, a strong sense of despair overwhelmed her. She bit her own hand hard, trembling like a leaf in the wind. Her snow-white teeth pierced and sank into her own delicate skin, and blood immediately started to ooze out. She perceived the metallic taste of blood and slowly let her teeth away from her flesh. She didn't dare to think of what had happened to her last night, because the mere thought of that, sent her into the depths of humiliation and despair. It was like a brand engraving on her mind, reminding her that she was not pure anymore.

'Why am I still alive? Why? I want to die. Only death can bring salvation to me,' she thought.

Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Xu Zijin curled up in a tight ball, with her knees tucked up at her chin, and burst into loud sobs. Her wailing cries woke the man in bed. Fu Chen opened his eyes, as his face was weary beyond description.

After Xu Zijin's disappearance, Fu Sinian had searched the whole city for her and hadn't slept for several days and nights. His body had reached its limit. When he had found her in the village, he had fallen into a painful self-blame for not having taken good care of her. For this reason, his resolve was shaken and Fu Chen seized the chance to take over his body. Otherwise, with his bigotry, Fu Sinian wouldn't give Fu Chen a chance to see Xu Zijin again.

At the sight of Xu Zijin crying sadly, Fu Chen was at a loss what to do because he had no experience of comforting a weeping woman. Every drop of her tears was like a knife, piercing his heart and leaving heartache with each cut.

Xu Zijin tried to get out of the bed. She had no intention of escaping. She just wanted to find a place to end her life because she had no courage to carry on living. However, she felt weak and fragile, and accidentally rolled down from the bed.

Lying on the floor, she had a dizzy spell. There were visible abrasions and love bites all over her naked body. The sunlight fell upon her and she looked like a fallen angel, beautiful and frail.
