1 Unexpectedly Warm Welcome!

Its the season of fall. The night is young the moon is full. The stars in the heaven sparkles brighter than any other night. The cold breeze bowed the trees and swayed its leaves that flies in circles as if welcoming an honoured guest on his march.

A mysterious wandering man dressed in white visit this abandoned manor he claimed as his own.

*creak* the sound of dilapitated door he missed hearing to.

But what baffled him is a sudden laughter coming through his bath house.

"HAHAHA!" A very ungracious laughter he heard for the first time in his entire life. The voice is muffled and appears deep.

"How outragious this thief could be?"

He was about to open the door of his bath house when he realized the house has been cleaned. The dusts are all gone and the withering leaves where all piled and sacked up. He checked all the main rooms and there are things he does not recognize.

"Barging in is not a good idea. This person cleaned the house afterall". He said to himself while contemplating.

"These things are expensive, perhaps ran away from home? Or just stole these and went here to hide the crime?"

"Yes! That explaines the loud laughter!"

Determined, he snuck at the roof to see what the person looks like.

He was finally able to see after removing a peice of wood from the roof. And he is quite shocked to see it was a

"..///a woman///?"

He panicked and quickly backed off but the old roof wont let him go that easily.

*Splash**

-The sound of water when that person suddenly fell.

Before that person could stand back on his feet, Xiao Xia, immedietly grab the fruit knife she used to cut her apples and charged to him directly.

Clearly. Clearly its a wrong move. Instead of running away and hide, she pushes him -coincidentaly in the shallowest area of the pool.

She easily pinned his wrist on the pool's floor, her knees was wedge between his legs, and the knife on his neck.

She did not care about any of this. She is comepletly swallowed by her survival instincts that she forgot she is completely naked in front of this man.

Since the water is just ankle high, she reveals a perfectly Goddess like body that emits a seemingly poisonous seduction. Her hair strands slightly covers her nipples but the man could the not help but look at her big soft breast cheeks. His heartbeat rises and he feels a sudden gush of blood in his body. He is defenitely tempted.

But all his hopes was shattered when a dead cold voice asked him.

"Who are you?" She asked while controlling her rage but still emits a murderous aura

'Different from her sweet looking face, just this voice would make common men retreat in fear'.

'But who am I, Im not just any ordinary man!'

With his free left arm, he grab her waist down, her breast touches his slightly loosen clothes that exposes some skin and her face to his neck and they rolled to the deeper part of the pool where the stream is. That place is warmer than any part of the pool which hurts when suddenly exposed to it.

"Ahh! hot!!"

That woke her up! She looks closely to the person she's embracing with. Realizing a man and her sharing a bath, with all her might - push and kick him in his stomach as she screamed "AAAAHHHHH!".

The man falters away *splash!*

She lowers her body down the pool trying to hide the previously exposed skin. No one could hear her because she ordered her guard and maid to visit the towns people and share tomorrow's plan.

The man got back to his feet. Luckily he landed into a waist line deep part. Completely soaked, he uses both his hands to remove the water from his face, eyes, continiously to the top of his head and back down. Some water drops to his now completely loosen and wet white clothes exposing his great muscles and sturdy built.

Xia cant help but stare. She'd seen topless men when her grandfather trains soldiers before. But this one, this one is on a completly different level. He is alluring enough to give her satisfaction. Enough to forget what just happened. He slowly walked towards her.

As he gets closer and closer, her eyesights follow the flow of water down from his bewitching face, to his seductive neck, sexy bones, admirrable chest, his appealing abs *swallows*

And a shiny thing below his waist...

..shiny thing...shiny... that reads

"Northern Camp - Main"

*gasp* "Is he in the army?"

The man's shadows completely shades her entire being as he gets closer to her.

Then even closer that his heavy body completely descended to her.

With her surprised, she screamed and tried to push his body away. Being this close, she feels his body getting colder, breathing slower and heartbeats getting weaker.

"Hey mister! Wake up, dont die on my bath"

With great effort, finally she was able to pull the man up to the dry floor and realized he was poisoned!
