Five thousand words omitted.

“Despicable! Despicable! I will never accept this! To use such a vile method!”

After the warmth of spring, Mu En protested to An in front of him.

However, his tone was noticeably lacking in conviction, perhaps due to his exhaustion after being drained, or perhaps because his current state left him with little strength to stand tall.

“At this moment, my young master is just like a child.”

An’s cheeks still held the lingering blush from earlier as she slowly dressed, completely unbothered by Mu En’s gaze. He stared at her, or rather her body, as if trying to regain some dignity.

But An showed no signs of shyness; instead, she occasionally cast flirtatious glances at Mu En.

As if asking, would the young master like to go another round?

Mu En couldn’t help but feel a pang of bitterness. He glanced at the crimson stain on the floor, secretly cursing in his heart how these women were all so fierce.

Celia fought with others after finishing, and An seemed unfazed, as if she could go another three hundred rounds with Mu En.

Yet here he was, looking utterly drained, unable to rise for the time being.

Could it be that I’m not capable?

No, that can’t be right. It had to have been over two hours, and with the aid of the drugs, Mu En felt he should have been able to go harder!

“Indeed, it’s because I’m too weak. If I don’t get stronger soon, I might spend my whole life at the mercy of these terrifying women!”

Mu En gritted his teeth, reaffirming the urgency of gaining power.

“It’s getting late; my young master should rest for a while.”

An casually picked up Mu En’s clothes, as if returning to her role as a devoted maid, and with a respectful bow, she said:

“I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave.”

“Wait!”

Mu En called out to An in panic:

“You can leave, but return my clothes!”

“Hmm?”

An tilted his head, seemingly unable to comprehend Mu En’s words:

“Is there still a need for the young master to wear clothes?”

“Of course there is! I am a living person! Shouldn’t people wear clothes?”

“Oh? Has the young master forgotten our previous agreement?”

“Agreement…”

“Yes, the agreement.”

An lowered his head, revealing an enchanting smile, but within that smile, Mu En felt a chilling darkness.

It was as if some indescribable monster was casting its gaze upon Mu En from behind that smile.

“Young master, you are now my possession,” An said softly.

“That is to say, I can control everything about you, including whether the young master needs to wear clothes, and that should be decided by me.

And my current decision is…

Young master, you really don’t need to wear clothes for the time being, do you? Because here, besides me, there is no one else.

Moreover, the young master is likely to stay here for a long time.”

“……”

Though he didn’t feel cold, Mu En had already begun to tremble, as if being looked at by An with such a smile was far more terrifying than the gaze of a bloodthirsty beast.

“Alright, young master, rest assured. Once I’ve dealt with things, I’ll come to play with you~”

An ruffled Mu En’s hair and took his clothes away, leaving the place.

Mu En watched An disappear into the darkness.

……

“Did he leave?”

“……”

……

“An? Are you there?”

……

“Moshi Moshi, is anyone there?”

……

“I know you haven’t left yet, stop pretending!”

“……”

In the darkness, there was no sound.

After confirming that An had indeed left this place, Mu En couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then immediately, his expression turned fierce:

“What do you mean by your possessions? I don’t remember agreeing to such things with you!”

Hmm……

It seemed he vaguely remembered that under the influence of drugs, this indeed happened.

But that was because of the drugs! How could it count!

Can the words spoken when a man is thinking with his lower half be trusted?

Moreover, the decisions made by the lower half are the lower half’s business; do they have anything to do with his upper half at this moment?

What does catching the second brother have to do with my brain?

Naturally, it has nothing to do with it!

So regarding the latter part of “never leave An,” Mu En decided to pretend he had never heard it.

In any case, the most urgent matter now was to escape from this place.

He definitely didn’t want to be imprisoned like a doll by An for a lifetime!

“There’s always a way out, the heavens won’t completely cut off a person’s path!”

Mu En encouraged himself.

……

After calming his heart, Mu En finally had the time to carefully observe his surroundings.

It seemed to be a basement.

With smooth walls and floor, it was a standard square shape, with only a dim oil lamp overhead, emitting a faint glow.

Right in front of Mu En was a cold iron fence, the bars as thick as his wrist, clearly not something Mu En’s small arms and legs could break.

The iron fence’s door seemed to be the only exit, and just as An left, he had thoughtfully hung a lock on it that was bigger than Mu En’s fist.

“Damn it, I’m already shackled, is it really necessary to be this cautious?”

Mu En couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

As for other places……

Mu En reached back to touch the wall, then rubbed his feet against the ground beneath him, a chill suddenly arose.

Metal!

The walls and floor of this basement were actually made of damn metal!

That is to say, in order to completely imprison Mu En and leave him with no chance of escape, An crafted a cage made entirely of metal!

Mu En couldn’t possibly learn from some famous movie and dig a tunnel to escape.

And the only opening in this place is…

Mu En tilted his head to look up; in the far corner of the ceiling, there was a passage that clearly resembled a ventilation duct.

However, that passage was very small, likely only big enough for the rats in the underground drains to squeeze through.

“How am I supposed to play this?”

Mu En suddenly felt a wave of despair.

A secret space made entirely of metal, with no guards around, and no escape routes.

The only exit was that iron-barred front gate.

But An would never forget to lock it. As the one being served, Mu En understood that An was a meticulous and capable maid who would never make any mistakes in her work.

And An was also the person who knew Mu En the best.

She understood Mu En’s abilities and his behavioral habits.

She knew Mu En couldn’t use magic and was, apart from being a first-tier martial artist, utterly useless.

So An didn’t bother with any special locks or restraints, but instead reinforced those bindings to the point where he could not shake them off at all.

It could be said that An had preemptively blocked all the loopholes, effectively snuffing out Mu En’s intent to escape in its cradle.

And now, Mu En didn’t even have a way to break free from the shackles on his hands!

“Am I really destined to be An’s possession, spending the rest of my life here?”
