Tame or Be Captured (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 048
Asha returned to the room through the rope she had hung from the window.
But the moment her feet touched the floor, she spotted a shadow standing tall in the center of the room and nearly screamed in shock.
“…Where have you gone alone in the middle of the night? And sneaking back in through the window, no less.”
His voice was low and filled with anger, like a beast growling.
As he stepped closer to the window, his pale face, chilled by the moonlight, came into view.
Asha trembled and swallowed hard.
His gaze upon her was icy cold—completely different from how it had ever been before.
It was the same familiar look he had always given her in her past life.
Asha instinctively realized he had been following her.
Moreover, judging by how furious he was, he seemed to know not only that she had secretly escaped her room but also exactly where she had gone.
The reason he hadn’t roused every servant in the palace this time, as he had before, was likely because he didn’t want rumors spreading that Banetsa had fled during their shared quarters.
Yet, the fact that he’d arrived here first and waited silently in the room felt even more terrifying.
He was testing her now.
Lying in this situation would be tantamount to completely destroying all the trust they’d built.
Asha lowered her eyes and told the truth.

Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
