Yan Zhao walked towards the Northern Courtyard.

As soon as he arrived inside the courtyard, someone bumped into him.

"Ah!" The woman shriek.

"Careful." Yan Zhao grabbed her arms to keep her from falling and saw that it was a female servant.

"Thank you and I'm sorry mister. I didn't pay much attention to where i was going." The servant spoke as she bowed her head to apologize.

"No, it's okay. I'm at fault to. I wasn't looking either. By the way, if you don't mind me asking, why are you in a hurry?" Yan Zhao asked the servant curiously after seeing her full of sweat.

"Ah. You don't know? We were looking for the mistress." The servant responded.

"Mistress? Whose mistress?" Yan Zhao was puzzled who actually had the balls to bring his mistress inside the Lord's residence.

"The Lord's mistress of course. Now excuse me, I still need to search for the mistress." The servant bypassed Yan Zhao and turned to left.

[That demon actually got himself a mistress? What happen when i was away?] It took a minute for Yan Zhao to process the news in his brain. It was great shocked for him. He was just away for a month because of his mission and now he heard this kind of news, it really made him think that he had missed a lot.

Yan Zhao came back to his senses and wanted to asked more about it. "Wait." He shouted when he saw the servant walking in a distance and then run after her.

"What is it?" The servant was annoyed at this man's interruption.

She was busy trying to find the mistress, and now there's an annoying beast following her around.

"Can you tell me what happen?" Yan Zhao wanted to pry more but instead he was snubbed by the servant.

"Excuse me. I'm busy. If you want to gossip, find someone else."The servant then left the annoying man.

"Hey now, don't go. Is the Lord inside?" Hearing this question the servant looked at him like he was some kind of an extraterrestrial being who didn't belong here.

"Hey look. I just got here since i went out for a mission, okay? So, don't look at me like that, I really didn't know what's been happening lately." Yan Zhao explained helplessly as he can feel the mocking gaze from the servant.

"If you want to find the Lord. You can go to the Southern Courtyard, the Lord transfer there." The servant then continued her search for the mistress.

Yan Zhao looked towards the Southern Courtyard's direction and decided to go so he could asked the Lord about this mistress thing himself.

Now, he was curious who the woman was. He then walked leisurely towards the Southern Courtyard.

....

In the Southern Courtyard.

After the Lord entered his room, he directly went towards his closet and took a set of clothes. The Lord then walked towards the folded screen to get change and passed by the table. He took a side glimpse on what was on his table but just ignored it and keep going.

The Lord stopped on his steps when he felt that something wasn't right. He frowned at his strange feelings, so he looked back at his table again, and there he saw how messy it was, some of the plates were emptied, some half-emptied, and even the chicken was missing both of its legs.

The Lord grinned, [Oh! So, the mischievous rat was actually here.]. He already knows who that rat was, since nobody would dare to touch his things inside this manor except for that rat.

The Lord tried to looked around where that rat might be hiding. He went over to the folded screen to check, but found nothing. He frowned and thought that the rat might have already ran outside, so he went to go outside and let his guards check all the places inside his courtyard, and also ordered them not to distubed him.

The Lord wanted to search for her again using the pearl, so he went inside his bedroom. But as soon as he got inside, what greeted him was a closed bed curtain. His lips curved upward into a huge grin, [The rat actually got the balls to hide inside this King's bed ah!].

He never had a habit of putting down the curtain when he was awake, so he was sure that someone was inside.

The Lord then summoned his elemental force. The element that their clan can control was wind. So. he controlled the wind and try to swept around the bed to check. There, he found the rat hiding under the quilt, she straightened her body like a stick, to minimized the bulge on the quilt. Since, the quilt was thick and with her slender body, she could hide inside the quilt well.

[Really this woman.] The Lord shook his head and chuckled. [You want to play ah? Then let's play.] He lifted the bed curtain and sit on the bed side.

Rae Gu was at the other side corner of the bed when she suddenly felt a breeze, she didn't know how the breeze entered the quilt but she just ignored it because there are much more pressing matters that she needs to deal with.

Rae Gu felt the bed sunk. [This is not good.] The alarms were all ringing in her head. [Arrgh! This was your fault stomach! I told you that we need to run away, but now you even bring me to this wolf's den.]

Rae Gu regretted the fact that she had come into this wolf's den but at the same time she was glad that she did, after all those sumptuous feast could actually satisfy her picky palate.

Feeling that there was not even a little movement inside the quilt, the Lord wanted to teased her more.

*Yawning* "Ahhhh. So, sleepy." The Lord pretended to be sleepy and went to lie beside her.

Hearing this, Rae Gu panicked and wanted to get out and run. She didn't want to be caught or else this perverted wolf might eat her whole.

The Lord was amused by the woman beside him, she didn't move even a little. If this continues, he was worried that her muscles would become stiff, but at the same time, he was thinking that she deserves it, as she was actually planning to escape from him, then let her suffer a bit.

Few minutes passed, Rae Gu was still in her position but gritted her teeth, this shameless guy actually put his arms around her. Even though the quilt was in between them, the arms was still heavy, and worst she was force not to move even for a bit, or she might wake up this pervert.

After a while, she also felt sleepy but fought it with all her will power. But what she didn't know was that, someone was grinning outside the quilt.

The Lord didn't sleep at all, but just wanted to teased her. He waited patiently for her to yield and get out from the quilt on her own.

Now, both of them had a battle of patience and will power. Whoever ran's out first will certainly lost.

Hours passed when Rae Gu couldn't stop herself from sleeping anymore, as she was too tired from crying earlier. She closed her eyes and went to take a nap.

The Lord couldn't help but giggled after he heard her snore. He slowly opened the quilt and moved it down to her neck to let her breath more air.

The Lord felt a tugged in his heart after seeing her up close. Her sleeping face was really like a harmless rabbit. [I actually think that this woman was a harmless rabbit? More like a porcupine instead.] He shook his head at his silly thought.

He stared at her face and was captivated by her small exquisite face, her long pointed nose, her well-shaped brows, and especially the small and pink moist lips.

The Lord couldn't help himself but think about how those lips tasted when they kissed. He stared at those lips, and gulped.

The Lord turned his head to the side to avoid being tempted. He doesn't know why, but when it comes to this woman, his beastly instinct will always goes out of his control. He wasn't like this with other woman, but instead he loathed their touch, and they even made him feel disgusted. But she was different, he wanted to touch her more, feel her more and even kissed her more.

The Lord sighed and look at her face again. He looked down at her lips and really wanted to taste it again. [Just this once. Let me taste it a bit.] He leaned closer and when his lips touched hers.

*Slap*"Pak! Annoying bug, go away!" Rae Gu mumbled while still asleep,she was waving her hand to shoo away the bee that was chasing her in her dreams.

"WOMAN!"
