Chapter 1017 Eight Hours of Terror

　　WARNING: Graphic content

　　Xuan Tianmo only got out of bed at midday, but in truth, he had woken up when it was time to attend morning court; however, because the medicine that Feng Yuheng had given him was taking effect, although he was awake, he was in an extremely excited state. It was such that he immediately began to “make use” of the girl that he found next to him.

　　Through his action, the girl quickly woke up. For a moment, she was dazed, but when she found that she was in the middle of sexual intercourse, she was not afraid. Instead, she was happy.

　　That’s right, she was happy because she found that the man pressing down on her was the eighth prince, Xuan Tianmo.

　　Although she could not understand the situation, as she was clearly about to service an adolescent boy, yet she was now comforting the eighth prince; however, compared to Feng Zirui, climbing into the eighth prince’s bed was of more value. She was a girl who had been raised to take care of these things. What choice did she have? What more could she do than follow orders? Now that things had taken this sort of a turn, it was a great chance for her!

　　Thus this girl set to work and skillfully coordinated with the eighth prince’s movements, making use of everything that she had learned. She did her best to make Xuan Tianmo feel good and happy.

　　As for Xuan Tianmo, how could he possibly notice this sort of thing? He had been dropped, and his entire consciousness was muddy. Doing the deed with this girl was merely his instinct. He could not even clearly see what this person looked like, much less hear the occasional flattery coming from the girl. He only knew how to move in the simplest way, only thinking of using these actions to relieve the desires that had piled up. He only knew that if he did not let it all out, that desire would slowly drain away his life.

　　In the beginning, the girl had not noticed that there was something wrong with Xuan Tianmo, and she only began to feel afraid after this session of pleasure-seeking did not end after roughly two hours.

　　As a girl who had been trained for this, she had learned all about how to make a man happy, but that was all just theoretical knowledge. She did not have any real experience. Girls trained for this purpose needed to ensure that their purity was maintained because all of the people that they were to serve would be of noble backgrounds. They definitely could not “be taught” by someone who was no longer pure. For this girl, today was her first time. Xuan Tianmo doing this left her half-dead from the pain. In the beginning, she was able to endure it and cater to his needs because she had kept what the palace’s granny had taught her. The first time would always hurt, and things would get better after a while. She did indeed find that things were a little better after a while; however, who knew that Xuan Tianmo would not stop. He had continued for such a long time, and there was still no end in sight.

　　How could someone who had been drugged possibly understand the concept of pain? It was all just basic instinct. She broke into a cold sweat from the pain and nearly fainted a few times; however, it was unfortunate, as Xuan Tianmo was too violent. It was such that she would be woken back up from the brink of unconsciousness by his wild movements.

　　The girl felt as though living was worse than death, as she pleaded with Xuan Tianmo for forgiveness, but Xuan Tianmo could not hear her. She loudly cried for help, and the people outside heard it, but who would save her? If the eighth prince was having sex with a woman, and that woman died, it would serve that woman right. Who could possibly be bothered with getting involved in this sort of thing? As a result, even if the people outside could hear this girl crying desperately, they acted as if they could not hear her. They did whatever needed to be done. They just silently admired their prince’s vigor.

　　This passionate session lasted until midday, ending when the lust in Xuan Tianmo’s body was completely exhausted. When he saw the person beneath him, he was stunned then rolled off of the girl. Glaring at her, he asked: “Who are you?”

　　The girl had been left half-dead by his actions. At present, she was laying on the bed and could not say a single word. Her lower body was in terrible condition, and there was a large amount of blood flowing out, dying the bed and sheets.

　　Xuan Tianmo felt disgusted and got out of bed. Putting on his clothes, he was thinking to himself, why had he assaulted a girl? When had this happened? Who had sent this girl to his bed?

　　With these questions in mind, he opened the doors and asked the servants: “Who sent the girl inside?”

　　The servant was stunned for a moment then replied: “Was it not Your Highness who brought her back?”

　　Xuan Tianmo glared: “When has this prince ever brought a girl into this place?”

　　“But…” The servant was completely dazed, “But she has been in there ever since this dawn, and Your Highness has been there the entire time…”

　　“Dawn?” Xuan Tianmo was finally completely awake. Thinking quickly, he instantly realized that something was off. He slammed the doors closed with a “bang” and returned inside the room.

　　At this moment, the girl had recovered a little and was no longer as exhausted as earlier, but when she saw Xuan Tianmo return, she trembled in fear and subconsciously pleaded: “Your Highness, please spare this servant! This servant truly can’t endure anymore. Would Your Highness please let this servant rest a little. If you want, would continuing tomorrow be alright?” She wanted to get out of bed and kowtow, but her body was in even more pain from just moving a little. The blood continued to flow from her lower body, causing her complexion to turn an ashen white. Unable to do anything else, she could only stay on the bed and continue: “Your Highness the eighth prince is too fierce, and this servant is truly unable to keep up. I beg Your Highness to spare me.” Her voice was very weak, and she was likely to pass out at any moment.

　　At this time, Xuan Tianmo also felt a bit of pain coming from his lower body. After all, he had gone at it for such a long time. Even if he was made of metal, he would have been worn down. He could not help but ask the girl: “How long did we do it for?”

　　The girl said: “A full eight hours.”

　　“Eight hours?” Xuan Tianmo was extremely shocked: “Without stopping for a moment?”

　　The girl nodded, “Without stopping for a moment.” After saying this, she struggled to lower her head and looked down at her lower body, but just this small movement caused her to cry out in pain. She helplessly gave up and looked at Xuan Tianmo with a pleading expression. In her mind, she was wondering if she could be able to stay alive. In the end, would this eighth prince show her a little bit of pity?

　　But when she saw Xuan Tianmo’s ice-cold face, she felt that there really was not much hope. It looked as though this person’s eyes were spraying fire. Who knew if it was out of anger or if his lust had not yet been exhausted. Regardless of what it was, it would present a life-threatening trial for her. She was just a servant, one who had been taught in the palace to serve men. Although it was for the sake of enlightening adolescent boys, there were some who would be sent to grown men to act as diversions. Those who were sent to be with adolescent masters might be shown some appreciation and live the rest of their lives without much worry. Of course, there were some adolescent masters who would not want to deal with the aftermath of their most-awkward and flustered first time, and they would have the girl killed. But if they ended up with an adult master, they would basically be the same as prostitutes, and there was not much difference.

　　Although this girl had thought of taking good care of Xuan Tianmo and currying favor with him to provide herself with a better future, she was now clear-minded and felt that she had truly been too optimistic.

　　She looked at Xuan Tianmo in horror and saw that the fire of fury in his eyes was burning hotter and hotter. Her entire body began to shake, as she said: “Your Highness, spare me.”

　　“Who was it that sent you in here?” After a long time, Xuan Tianmo finally spoke but ended up asking this sort of question.

　　The girl thought for a bit then truthfully said: “This servant does not know. This servant only remembers being arranged to service the Feng family’s young master by a granny in the palace. This servant went and remembers only just beginning. What happened after that, I cannot remember. When I woke up, I was already on Your Highness’ bed.” She looked all around and guessed that this was some courtyard in the palace. Not to mention a grown prince staying overnight in the Imperial Palace, but he also had an affair with a girl. Was this not a great taboo in the Imperial Palace?

　　Xuan Tianmo ignored the girl, as a feeling of horror suddenly began to well up inside him. What had just happened the previous night caused him to recall the time that the Sheng Palace had been robbed. It had also been done so silently. The enemy had entered and exited the Sheng Palace as if it was any common area. It was done so easily, and it was done without him noticing. Previously, he had believed that someone in the residence had betrayed him and collaborated with the criminal. For this, he had replaced every single person in the Sheng Palace. But who knew that one year later, this sort of thing would happen again, and the enemy flaunted their abilities under his nose once more. He also happened to fall for their tricks.

　　Xuan Tianmo exerted his inner strength and analyzed his body. He immediately noticed that something was off. The reason that he was entangled with this girl for so long was that he was drugged. This was too frightening! Not only could they silently enter the Sheng Palace and his room, but they could also use this sort of a difficult thing without noticing in the slightest. What sort of incredible person was this? Could they completely conceal themselves?

　　Xuan Tianmo became soaked in a cold sweat, and he even considered that the enemy was perfectly capable of dealing with him permanently. Although that mysterious person did not do this, he was able to understand this possibility. That person’s blade was resting on his neck. It was not that they were not taking his life; they were merely letting him keep it for now. They could take it at any time and any place. As for him, he was not able to offer up any resistance. This past night, he ended up sleeping until this moment, and he had actually shown favor to a girl, then it was very possible that he would end up losing his life when he went to sleep.

　　The more he thought about it, the scarier it became. His body began to tremble, and it caused the girl in bed to become confused. She was clearly the one who should be afraid, but why was it that the eighth prince currently appeared to be even more terrified than her? What exactly was this prince afraid of?

　　She did not have a chance to think too much about it. She had lost too much blood, and a wave of dizziness hit her. She struggled a few times to try and maintain consciousness but was unable. The girl fainted. In the instant that she fainted, she felt as though the pain in her lower body seemed to change. It no longer hurt as much. Instead, it was a little itchy; however, she was not given a chance to think much, as she fainted.

　　Xuan Tianmo looked at the person on the bed. This was clearly an idea that he and Imperial Concubine Yuan Shu had come up with. They had thought of sending a girl to teach Feng Zirui, and they would use that to remind Feng Yuheng not to be too arrogant. They were also unable to find a way to take action. Originally, he had rejoiced upon coming up with this idea, and he was looking forward to seeing the looks on Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng’s faces after the fact; however, who knew that this choice of action would end up backfiring on him.

　　Just how many times had it been? Xuan Tianmo was unable to keep count, but at this moment, he was wondering. To be able to bring this girl into the Sheng Palace in the middle of the night, who exactly was it? Feng Yuheng? Or was it that ninth brother, Xuan Tianming?
