Chapter 878: Chapter 880: Clinging to Powerful Legs (4)

Between them, there was no longer a need to express their feelings with words. A single look, a single gesture was enough for the other to understand their thoughts...

...*...*...

After Nangong Yi left, Tuoba Kui could no longer calm his heart. He had slept with the princess of the Xianbei Empire and nearly beaten her to death. If the king of Xianbei wanted revenge, he could easily crush Tuoba Kui to dust with a flick of his finger.

There was obviously no way to hide this incident. Last night’s commotion had probably been heard by the entire Great Jin army, and sooner or later it would reach the ears of passersby from the Xianbei Empire. Alternatively, he could coax her into turning back willingly and become his woman out of her own free will.

However, this method also seemed unfeasible. Helana’s heart was set on Nangong Yi, and the gap between him and Nangong Yi was more than just a little. She would never fall for him, and there was no need for him to humiliate himself.

Like a trapped beast, he thought of one idea after another, only to dismiss each one in turn. Until the army set out, he still had not come up with a foolproof plan.

After departing from the small town, the army passed through Qing County and headed south towards the next city.

Along the way, Tuoba Kui sent his men several times to inquire about Helana’s injuries, and the news was always bad. Helana was beaten until her skin split and her flesh burst open. She had suffered injuries all over her body, and even one of her ribs and an arm had been broken by him. Now, lying in the cart, half-dead and barely breathing, although she received timely medical attention and wouldn’t die immediately, how could she withstand the rigors of travel with such serious injuries?

By nightfall, the army arrived at a town called Harahai, setting up camp on the outskirts. Tuoba Kui took the opportunity to check on Helana and found that she was indeed severely injured, wrapped in layers of gauze like a lifeless zongzi. She had been in a coma for an entire day, hadn’t eaten any food or water, and had no maids to take care of her. Only two rough guards were by her side. If things continued this way, he feared that she might not even make it back to the Capital alive due to the harsh treatment.

Tuoba Kui did not want her to die. After much deliberation, he decided to leave Helana in Harahai Town to recover. He would also station some of his trusted subordinates to guard her, and once her injuries had somewhat healed, he would have her subordinates perform the "cutting ritual" according to the customs of the Meng slaves. By then, she would no longer be able to seek out other men and would have to live with him obediently. If the madness of last night had resulted in her conceiving, then the king and queen of the Xianbei would have no choice but to recognize their relationship, and he could continue being the Khan of the Meng without fault.

With this in mind, his anxious heart from the day finally calmed down. He commanded his subordinates to go out and look for a house, to buy maids.

Having silver made things easy. His subordinates went out for just one Shi Chen and got both the house and the servants all sorted. Tuoba Kui personally led people to carry Helana to the newly bought house. After inspecting the two newly acquired maids and the old maid, feeling satisfied, he then settled Helana there.

Among the two newly bought girls, there was one called Cai Ping, who was fair-skinned and delicate, with quite a bit of charm. Seeing Tuoba Kui’s majestic and opulent appearance, she couldn’t help casting seductive glances, pulling out all the stops to entice him.

Tuoba Kui got excited by her provocation and had her right there on the chair in the outer room. Although Cai Ping’er was quite lascivious, she was a virgin, and the taste was several ranks below that of Helana from last night. Tuoba Kui, who was always picky, immediately lost interest in this second-hand goods. After pulling up his trousers, he coldly instructed her to take good care of the master and left without any attachment, not even leaving her a hundred copper coins...
