"Yu Lang, stop!" the Maid was thrown to the ground by Chai Xuanyi, desperately clinging to his legs.
Their shrill screams roused He Yan and Yu Lang from their light slumber. The two had been busy kissing earlier and hadn't drunk much; the loud noise easily woke them from their mild stupor.
As they opened their eyes, they saw blood everywhere and Chai Xuanyi, radiating a murderous aura. They became even more alert, but felt weak and near powerless. Their position behind Chai Xuanyi made them hard to spot, so after exchanging a glance of horror, they quietly lay still, waiting for the effects of the sedatives to fade.
"Lord Chai... if you have any grievances, take my life instead, please spare him!" Bai Ru was severely injured, losing blood rapidly. She had exerted herself too much and now felt her body's warmth draining swiftly. If Chai Xuanyi was set on killing, even if she could block him a few more times, Dou Chengfeng would still likely meet his death.
