Chapter 1554

But Hesheli felt that the sinister and terrifying Asura mask was incredibly intimate at this moment.

She stared blankly for a while at those deep eyes.

She could not help but lean her head against his chest.

She murmured:

"Perhaps it would have been better to snatch me out of the palace."

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"You still have parents and clansmen."

The events of the past few days had long since disrupted her thoughts; her parents and clansmen had been subconsciously pushed to the back of her mind.

Hesheli was incredibly moved that Wutian, rumored to be cruel and heartless, cared so much about her.

Her clear, beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

"Thank you."

However, Gu Hanyuan teased her upon hearing this:

"The Empress's way of thanking is truly unique."

Having said that, he took the dagger from Hesheli's hand and examined it before his eyes.

The dagger was inlaid with several gems of different colors, exquisitely and gorgeously crafted; it looked more like an ornament than a weapon.

Hesheli asked with deep, beautiful eyes:

"Even if I want to assassinate you, do you still like me?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled indifferently.

"If I were so easily killed, then I would be nothing more than this. Why couldn't I like you?"

Hesheli's assassination attempt was somewhat laughable.

Especially in front of Wutian, who had just fought an earth-shattering battle yesterday and displayed world-dominating ferocity.

Yet this was a reason Hesheli used to convince herself.

She murmured with a complex expression:

"The duties of an Empress have already been fulfilled."

She raised her head and looked earnestly into those deep eyes, saying:

"I give this dagger to you."

Gu Hanyuan had a flash of inspiration upon hearing this and said playfully:

"Is this your 'Chastity Guard', Empress?"

Hesheli's face turned bright red upon hearing this.

She turned her head away in shyness.

"Yes. But now it belongs to you."

Most women on the grasslands do not value chastity, yet there are still some fierce women who value their purity very highly.

Therefore, the "Chastity Guard" became their last line of defense.

If captured by the enemy, they would either kill the enemy when they were off guard to avenge their husbands.

If that was not possible, they would commit suicide in advance to avoid having their pure bodies defiled by the enemy.

Giving the "Chastity Guard" as a gift meant that Hesheli would no longer hold to her bottom line.

She had done what she should do as an Empress of a nation; what she had to do now was what she should do as an ordinary woman.

She smiled somewhat coquettishly:

"Haven't you always wanted me? What are you still hesitating for?"

Gu Hanyuan smiled with pleasure and picked her up by the waist.

He placed her on the phoenix couch that originally only the Emperor and Empress could use.

Hesheli lowered her voice, her beautiful face flushed red:

"I haven't... for a long time..." ===== CHAPTER 1556 =====
