While you sleep, the dangers that lurk at night are impossible to ignore~

This disgusting creature…
The stranger fumed, clenching his hand tightly despite the wound dripping from the bite.
But Bai Rong stood her ground, despite the fact that she was trembling inside because of the cold presence the stranger was exuding off him.
'I don't know who this person is, but judging from the smell of death on his body, he wasn't someone to be messed with.'
The stranger suddenly raised his hand, as if he was trying to draw a huge amount of Qi in his palm.
Bai Rong closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come.
At least she would die trying to protect her master. Someone like him was worth dying for.
But a second, two seconds passed and nothing happened. Bai Rong blinked her innocent eyes and turned to look at the enemy.
"You should count yourself lucky demon, I am in a good mood today. Tell your master, that this one will come again next time, and when I do, he should better have the power to face me."
The stranger lowered his hand and with the wind, he was gone, leaving the flickering light of the lanterns.
And the sense of dread in the air. Bai Rong clutched her chest, while taking deep breaths and just as she was breathing. She returned back to her human form.
Staring at her long and dainty fingers, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't know how it happened, but after Mo Han touched her, she was supposed to leave and never come back. It was embarrassing enough that she couldn't get his Yang Qi, but what made it worse was that he touched her and caused her to faint.
But as soon as she left the room, she reverted to her beast form.
This normally happens when her spiritual space had been touched. 'What were you looking for Young Master?'
She wondered as she turned and looked at the drooling face of Mo Han.
She stared long and hard, and thinking about how, this man was able to touch her in the way no man had ever touched her.
Looking at his long finger, there's no way he was that skilled, right?
She wondered if she would ever feel such bliss again if she had come a tad bit too late. But it still didn't erase the fact that she was bound to Mo Han at this point.
"I hope I don't end up dying in your hands before I breakthrough into the next realm."
********
The sunlight spilled into Mo Han's chambers through the window, causing Mo Han's brows to twitch in frustration.
"Close the goddamn windows, damnit. Who the fuck is disturbing my sleep."
Mo Han snarled. Turning away from the light, but then a sharp grinding noise disturbed his ear.
He furrowed his brows and groggily sat up, heavy bags under his eyes as he scanned his surroundings with a dazed expression.
Once his eyes adjusted to the light, he held his breath as he was greeted with the most beautiful sight.
Bai Rong leaning over the stone table, her huge breast spilling out of her robes as she concentrated on the grinder.
He gulped, his morning dragon already twitching to see what the whole fuss was about.
I thought I was in heaven," he murmured under his breath, catching Bai Rong's attention.
She snapped her head to Mo Han who was still glaring at her breast with flushed face.
"Ah! Master, you are awake!" She scrambled out of the stone stool, causing the grinder to prick her finger, red blood oozed out and she winced.
Mo Han quickly rushed forward, grabbed her finger, and blew on it.
"Careful." Bai Rong was stunned, her face flushed red in embarrassment as she pulled her hand away, twisting her body to the side to evade his gaze.
Mo Han's eyes landed on her huge breast again, and held his nose to stop his nose from bleeding out.
Just when he was about to say something, the screen flashed before his eyes, causing him to take a step back.
'Of course, how could I forget. I was in this damn book, with this stupid system.'

"Wait, is this another tutorial again? Or is this the real deal?" Mo Han asked while squinting his eyes at the quest.
"Who are you talking to, Master." Bai Rong asked, while scanning around the room for any enemy she have to protect Mo Han from.
[Yes, who exactly are you talking to?]
The little fluff ball appeared out of nowhere, scanning the room just like Bai Rong did.
Mo Han attempted to catch the little thing's angrily, but it slipped away easily.
Mo Han didn't chase it and instead, turned to Bai Rong.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking out loud." He gave her a warm smile, and she turned away blushing.
'So tell me, why is this here?' Mo Han asked, dragging his gaze back to the quest screen. The little fluff ball shrugged.
[What you experienced before was a tutorial but what you are seeing now, is the real deal. If you don't meet up with the quest, you will be transported to the penalty zone.]
The fluff ball blinked back at Mo Han and the latter mused at his words.
It made sense to him, he couldn't gym back on earth because he was too poor for it and lazy, so he should atleast count this as that.
But he was terrified of the first three.
100 push ups???!! 100 squats?!!! Damn.
[Well, you are not going to die at least. After all, there would be sweet Bai Rong motivating you at the side.]
The little fluff ball gestured towards Bai Rong, who had continued grinding the herbs she wanted to use for tea.
[She also didn't tell you about the enemy that was about to kill you in your sleep.]
'What?' He widened his eyes in surprise.
[Ask her. She protected you all night. Would you give her a reward?]
The little fluff ball whined like a little child, as it snickered.
"Rong'er."
Bai Rong froze, her eyes twitching from the endearment in his tone. She turned and looked at him.
"You protected me all night? Why didn't you leave? What happened with the other maid? Were you hurt?" He asked as he approached her.
This time Bai Rong didn't shy away.
"I couldn't look away as someone wanted to harm you? I couldn't leave because—wait...." Her brows furrowed and she gave him the death look.
"You knew I was a demon?" she asked dumfounded, and he shrugged, grabbing her hand and leaning in while scrutinizing her from head to toe with a serious look in his eyes.
No female had ever done that for him, here and on earth.
"You just told me now. You're not the same maid I used to have, so I noticed something was off." He lied through his teeth. Bai Rong flushed red, noticing the way she gave herself out with her own mouth.
"Well I-I am fine. Nothing happened, but he claimed that you should get strong quick and find you." Bai Rong quickly relayed the message.
Mo Han gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. No matter how much he wanted to hide from trouble, trouble would come find him.
"Very well. If it is what they want."
