Chapter 964 - A Bath Scene (1/2)

At this time, Xiang Yong finally arrived in front of the door to the guard's room. The other demon hurriedly stepped aside and motioned at the door. ”It's here.”

Xiang Yong gave him a deep look and huffed. ”That better be the case.” He didn't bother knocking on the door and just opened it, going inside. Nothing could be seen of the person living here or An Bai though, making him turn back to the demon with a stormy expression. This guy had actually dared to lie to him! If anything happened to An Bai because of that …

The demon visibly paled and stared at the room in shock. He was sure that this was the room of the other guard. They should be here! Could it be that they had gone somewhere else? He looked around in a panic and then finally spotted the door to the bathroom. His expression lit up and he pointed over. ”I'm sure they're inside there.” He didn't wait for Xiang Yong's response and rushed over, pulling the door open.

Xiang Yong narrowed his eyes and followed behind him, peering into the bath himself.

The whole room was shrouded in steam that made everything seem blurred. He could still see the bathtub in the middle of the room and the fair shoulders above the rim that were slightly hunched up, showing how uncomfortable the person inside was.

A man was standing next to him, one arm around An Bai's slender waist, pulling him up against his body. His other hand was curled around An Bai's white hair, forcing him to face up and surrender his lips to the demon.

Xiang Yong's expression turned even worse but he knew that he couldn't act rashly. If he said or did the wrong thing, then these demons would notice what was up. He first had to get rid of the person next to him and then deal with this other one.

The movement at the door alerted the demon inside the bath and he looked up. Seeing one of the other guards, as well as somebody he didn't know, he let go of An Bai and furrowed his brows. ”What's going on here?” He looked at the other guard, wanting to get an explanation from him.

The other guard tensed and turned to Xiang Yong instead, afraid that he would get pulled into this if the other guy made it seem as if he was somehow involved. ”See? It's just as I said. He's indeed here. Now, I should get back to the dungeon to do my own job. I'm sure your Excellency will be able to deal with this yourself.” He didn't even wait for Xiang Yong's response and just bowed, rushing out of the room as if it was on fire. He even smashed the door shut on the way out as if not being subjected to Xiang Yong's gaze could save him somehow.

At that time, the demon in the bath figured out that something had to be wrong. He took another look at Xiang Yong but couldn't recognize him.

An Bai also turned around and a faint smile lit up his face when he saw Xiang Yong. He got up, his gaze cooling when he turned to the demon. He extended his claws and before the demon could question any further, a red streak appeared on his neck.

He reached up and touched his skin where he felt a sting, his brows furrowed. When he took it back it came back red with his own blood. He stared at it in a daze and then turned to An Bai, his eyes widened in surprise.
