Chapter 1 Defile

• What is the biggest despair one might face?
• To have the person you loved with all your heart waiting for you to elope with him, but you were sent to another man's bed.
• He simply needed a droplet of blood from you.
• Yet you lost the remaining of your life because of that.
• ......................................
• Gu Qiaoge was imprisoned.
• Three days ago, her father was poisoned by her stepmother. And the man laid immobile on the bed. Before losing his consciousness, the man grabbed her hand tightly and gave her his last words.
• "Qiaoge, bring your brother to find Lu Beichuan. The two of you must leave Feng city!"
• "Your father was a fool for insisting two families must be on par in status for a marriage. I was against you being together with Lu Beichuan. But I can tell that the child has a great temperament. Even if he never mentioned his origin, I believe he isn't someone ordinary."
• At that very night, Gu Qiaoge bid her father farewell in tears and escaped together with her brother.
• But...
• 20 minutes later, they were stopped somewhere 300 meters away from Lu Beichuan.
• The woman was being imprisoned in a completely dark room, without water and food. She was being cut off from all connections to the outside world.
• Three days later, she was dragged out the cage by two huge men and tossed into the living room.
• Her stepmother, Ling Jiawen stood before her and leered mirthfully at her from high above.
• "My darling step daughter. Don't blame me. If you must find fault, blame yourself. Because your blood is too precious!"
• "Someone found you amongst the entire nation's blood bank. You have a very special gene in your blood that is a life-saving medicine for their young master. They needed your blood. Once per month and 5 million for one time. What a sweet deal! Therefore, it is only right that I try harder to keep you around me!"
• Gu Qiaoge was dehydrated.
• She lied on the floor and stared at Ling Jiawen with bloodshot eyes. She was wriggling her body with great difficulty and her lips were cracking because of dryness as she tried to speak.
• "Ling Jiawen, you have taken over the Gu family. Let my father and brother go."
• "I am willing to stay for as long as you want. As for my blood, you can take as much as you need too..."
• Even if the price was her life, she would gladly give it up as long as her family could live.
• She was willing to wait. Until the other party no longer needs her blood, until she was completely useless to Ling Jiawen.
• She believed that Lu Beichuan could wait, he could wait until she went back to him.
• When Ling Jiawen heard that, her eyebrows lowered and she laughed at her as if she just heard a joke.
• "Gu Qiaoge, you are just too naïve. Do you really think that as long as you give the blood, everything will end there?"
• Gu Qiaoge's heart sank and she raised her head and stared at her stepmother.
• "What do you mean?"
• Ling Jiawen grabbed her by the hair as she snickered by her ear.
• "In comparison to the blood flowing in your veins, your virgin body, your virgin blood is even more useful. Not only do they want your blood, they want your virgin blood. Do you get it? Virgin--blood."
• Gu Qiaoge's face turned paper white.
• "No!"
• The woman screamed loudly suddenly as she pushed Ling Jiawen away aggressively and crawled to the doorstep.
• "The person I love is Lu Beichuan! I want to keep my purity for him! I cannot do this, I must not do this!"
• Ling Jiawen's expression changed. She hurried towards her and grabbed Gu Qiaoge by the hair. After that, she tapped on her hand phone.
• And Lu Beichuan's deep and magnetic voice was heard.
• "Qiaoge, didn't we say that we will be leaving Feng city together? Where are you?"
• "This is the second day already. I went to the Gu family to look for you. But they told me that you have left with a man. I don't believe it. Darling, as long as you come back, I will tell you my real identity and also my secrets..."
• ……
• "Gu Qiaoge."
• The man's voice was hoarse and in pain.
• "You will not be coming, right? It has been three days and this is the last day I’ll give you. If you come, I will bring you away and give you a brand-new life. If you don't... I will treat you as if you are dead."
• "Do you believe it? When I am leaving this message for you, there is a woman waiting for me to sleep with her..."
• Gu Qiaoge's tears flowed down instantly.
• "Beichuan..."
• The woman crawled and struggled to pounce at her stepmother to snatch the phone. However, the next second, Ling Jiawen pulled her back by the hair.
• The woman's high pitched and malicious voice was like an untuned violin.
• "Do you know, I have arranged a lot of men within the radius of the place he is waiting for you. With one phone call, the Lu Beichuan you love the most will be turn into a meat pie by several cars running him over. Do you want to let him go? Or do you want to let him stay and watch how you are going to be defiled and die with you?"
• Gu Qiaoge's body tensed up and it was like all life siphoned out of her body as she fell back to the floor.
• Her father.
• Her brother.
• And her beloved, Lu Beichuan...
• Ling Jiawen raised her hand and passed her the phone as she tapped on her cheek. After that, the stepmother sashayed away and sat herself down on the couch.
• "After you have thought things through, you should know what to do."
• It was as if the other person knew what was happening, the phone started vibrating violently on her palm.
• It was pulsing over and over again.
• She didn't answer and the phone continued to ring. Similar to the past three days after she disappeared, the man continued to look for her stubbornly and unceasingly.
• Gu Qiaoge's eyes turned red. Her hands that held her phone was quivering as well.
• After a long while, she tapped on the answering button with all of her strength.
• "Qiaoge, you finally answered the phone!"
• Lu Beichuan's voice was filled with an exhilaration after great distress, "I knew you would come! Tell me where you are, I'll..."
• "What can you do after I tell you?"
• The woman's gentle voice turned into a sharpened blade.
• Gu Qiaoge's face was filled with tears as she tried to hold back her sob.
• "Lu Beichuan, do you really think I will elope with you? I was simply playing a joke with you before breaking up. I am the Gu young lady from a prominent family. Do you really think that I would fall in love with an ordinary person like you? Stop dreaming!"
• The man from the other side was stunned for a split second before he raised his voice, "What did you say? Gu Qiaoge, say that again!"
• Gu Qiaoge gritted her teeth and enunciated.
• "I said, I was simply toying with you. And now, I am done. We are done!"
• *BAM!*
• A flash of lightning split the sky apart and struck the old tree in the yard.
• *Crack*
• The tree trunk split in two and crushed on the ground!
• The winds were howling while the rain poured, the sound was heard through the phone.
• "Gu Qiaoge, how could you!"
• The man's hoarse cries of despair echoed through the phone. After that, there was a silent thud followed by a few anxious yells, "Hurry, he is puking blood!"
• "Beichuan..." Gu Qiaoge was worried and she called out instinctively.
• "Don't you dare to call my name!"
• Lu Beichuan's deep voice rang by her ear.
• "Gu Qiaoge, you are the only woman I, Lu Beichuan ever loved. And the only one that toyed with my feelings. I will leave Feng City."
• "But I hope you will have good life. Because I will be coming back one day. And by that time, I will make sure to come back for you!"
• *Beep.*
• Gu Qiaoge held the phone and smashed it to the floor. The silent beep she heard was tearing her heart apart.Beichuan, sorry... I am so sorry...
• Ling Jiawen's voice was heard from not far away, "Not bad! You have made a wise decision."
• After saying that, she gestured her hand and the few men gathered around Gu Qiaoge.
• "Prepare her and make sure you do it quietly. Don't go killing the mood of our emptor!"
• "As long as they give the approval, we will be receiving the money tonight. Hahaha..."
• Ling Jiawen's conceited laugh slowly faded into the distance.
• Gu Qiaoge lied on the cold tiles and her eyes were lifeless. The woman did not move at all as if she was already dead.
• The few men grabbed her hair and dragged her upstairs. After that, they wrenched her mouth opened and violently shoved a few pills into her mouth.
• In just a few minutes, she felt all the strength left her body and she was burning. It was as if she was heated on a stove and a flame was lighting her up from within.
• She struggled and opened her mouth, but she couldn't make any sound.
• The woman was devastated.
• It was a heavy storm outside the window and raindrops smacked on the window panel violently.
• Some time later, there was a car honking outside. After that, a few huge men hurried into the mansion.
• The one that led the group had an authoritative poise and he strode in with a black wind coat. The side of his face was clear-cut and carried a great presence. The rest of his face was hidden in shadows. The man was exuding a frightening and overwhelming presence.
• When Ling Jiawen saw the important figure, her men hurriedly went forward and greeted him.
• "Sir, the person you asked for is prepared. She is waiting right inside."
• As the underling reported, he raised his head. But when he saw the man's face in close distance, he let out a yelp. After that, he jumped backward as if he just saw a ghost, stuttering,
• "Sir, your, your face..."
