Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 140 - 140: Loyal Maid Who Died Because of Beauty (10)

Yue Ran and Lu Heng were now very close together.

The young girl's back was pressed against Lu Heng's chest, meaning that Lu Heng was half hugging Yue Ran sideways. His fingers were gently rubbing against Yue Ran's delicate skin.

Such a posture did not allow Yue Ran to escape anywhere. She had now found herself encased in the young man's arms.

"This jade crystal ointment needs to be rubbed slowly on the skin to provide a better effect," Lu Heng explained slowly.

"Your Highness, about this... this servant can just do it instead," Yue Ran said.

As she was speaking, the young girl raised a hand that was not being held and wanted to push the young man's hand away, but who knew that that raised hand was immediately encased by a big man's palm, which was warm and a little rough on her skin?

The slightly rough calluses on his hands must be because Lu Heng had held swords and was pretty good at martial arts himself.

"It will be inconvenient for you to do it yourself," Lu Heng said. "And if you do it yourself, you may miss some places and thus reduce the ointment's effect on your wound, which would not be good. It is still better for this prince to help you do it instead."

Now, Yue Ran does not have a reason to move away from Lu Heng again, and she also does not dare to move either. So she could just sit there stiffly in the young man's arms.

If someone were to watch the two from a corner right now, because of the angle, one would only think that the two of them were doing something inappropriate and intimate, like talking about love, for example.

Yue Ran could only hide shyly in Lu Heng's arms as he kept on rubbing the ointment on her skin in circles. She narrowed her eyes lightly as she dropped her head down, and slyness flashed in her eyes along with her red lips that were turned up.

Every time Lu Heng would rub the ointment on her, Yue Ran would feel numb all over her body. She did not know if the reason she felt this way was because of the ointment or not. Or maybe Lu Heng's body was just too close to her, and she was not used to this.

Seeing the charming girl in his arms blush red, Lu Heng smiled joyfully.

The male protagonist was indeed a man with a harem of his own and someone who knew how to catch a young girl's heart. This could be seen by his obviously provocative yet unintentional movements. He has a lot of tricks.

However, the current Lu Heng was actually also caught by the innocent young girl in his arms.

He did not want to let Yue Ran get out of his arms at all. He even felt as if there was a raging fire burning in his heart, but he did not want to act so soon to scare the young girl in his arms, so he could only hold it back forcibly without doing anything impulsively.

It was also at this time that Yue Ran felt that something was pressing against the side of her lower back. It was hard and hot.

Yue Ran: What could that be?

Ruan Ruan: Shameless!

Lu Heng, who had a girl he was interested in on his arm, was burning with desire, and a fine layer of sweat coated his forehead. The hand that was holding onto the young girl's arm was also bulging with veins.

Yue Ran, who has not realized what trouble she has caused, is still enjoying Lu Heng's service by being a lazy bug.

How could she know that Lu Heng, who was embracing her now, was looking at her with such a fierce gaze as if he were going to eat her alive? The desire in the man's heart was attacking him like a wild and ferocious beast that could barely be contained in a worn-out cage. And Yue Ran, who did not know of the incoming danger, was only a cute little white rabbit in the man's eyes.

Feeling that the thing on her back was getting hotter and hotter, Yue Ran, who felt uncomfortable, pushed the man away and said in an innocent tone, "Your Highness, there seemed to be something pushing me on the side of my lower back."

Lu Heng suppressed his desire and whispered in the young girl's ear while speaking in a deep and hoarse voice, "Do you not like it?"

Yue Ran turned her head around and asked a little doubtfully, with a face full of confusion, "Like? Like what?"

Lu Heng, who was originally full of lust, only saw Yue Ran's clean eyes. The beautiful eyes that were blanketed with a layer of water were extraordinarily dewy and clear, and they met his own. He could even see his reflection from the bottom of her eyes, but it was a delusion that she saw only him in her eyes. And for some reason, he felt a chill in his heart.

As if Yue Ran felt that the fire she set up was too small and not destructive enough, she continued to add fuel to the fire by saying, "Your Highness, please do not casually keep such a sharp weapon on yourself in the future. What would you do if you accidentally injured yourself? It is still better to prevent the danger first than to wait until it becomes a reality."

Lu Heng only felt happy and sad now. He is happy that Yue Ran still cares about his well-being, but he is also sad that Yue Ran does not understand his feelings and his thoughts for her.

"Um." Lu Heng made a voice as if to say that he understood the young girl's words before saying, "This prince knows, and this prince will not keep this sharp weapon on this prince again."

It was at this time that Yue Ran saw that the "ointment rubbing session" was over, and thus she planned to get up and leave. But when she got up, though, she accidentally saw a piece of paper with a painting that was previously on the third prince's table suddenly being blown away by a breeze from the open window.

Yue Ran reflexively caught it in the air and held it in her hand to look at what was drawn on it.

"Your Highness, did you paint this?" Yue Ran asked.

The beauty in the paper looked very delicate and beautiful, but unfortunately, the painting only shows one side of her face and not everything. The sky blue color of the dress embroidered with blooming cherry plum flowers she was wearing showed beauty's elegance, grace, and appeal, just like the beauty of a wide blue sky and the beauty of the rivers and lakes, which are incomparable.

"Yes, it was painted by this prince," Lu Heng answered calmly.

This was the latest painting of Yue Ran made by Lu Heng. Since seeing her talking to another dowry maid of Yi Yan, Lu Heng had already drawn several portraits of Yue Ran with different looks every day.

Fortunately, this was a painting that did not obviously show just who the person in the painting may be.

The beauty in the painting only showed a side profile, so it was normal for Yue Ran or the others who were to look at it not to recognize that the beauty was actually Yue Ran herself.

Yue Ran only felt that she had seen the beauty in the painting somewhere before, but she just could not remember it.

"Who is this?" Yue Ran asked curiously. "She does not seem to be one of Your Highness' beauties in the palace."

"This is the woman that this prince dreamed about," Lu Heng said. He looked at the beauty in the painting with tender and affectionate eyes.

Yue Ran only nodded her head, then looked at the painting again, not noticing that once her gaze had focused on the paper in her hand, Lu Heng had shifted his affectionate gaze onto herself. The emotion in his inky black eyes looked fiercer and stronger than before.

"Oh, there are words next to it," Yue Ran said as she stared at the beautiful calligraphy. Then, she read out loud, "Under the moon, thinking of dress and flowers, the cool breeze blows the dewdrops moist and clear. If she is not on the head of the foggy mountain, then she will be on the clouds under the moon."

After reading the words softly and delicately, Yue Ran raised her head to look back at Lu Heng, only to see the man in a daze.

"Your Highness, what is wrong with you?" Yue Ran asked.

Instead of answering the young girl's question, Lu Heng said, "Unexpectedly, Yue Ran can read very well. Do you like to read poetry and books?"

Yue Ran nodded shyly at the man's words before saying, "Yes, Ran Ran has liked to read since Ran Ran was a child. Ran Ran has ever read this poem before and thought that this poem sounded very beautiful, so Ran Ran studied it for a while."

"Hmm." Lu Heng hummed in an ambiguous tone, and he said, "This prince remembers that Yue Ran seems to like the poem from Master Ye that says, 'One birth, one world, a couple for a lifetime,' very much."

"Yes," Yue Ran replied with a nod and a smile. "There are many beautiful visions in this poem."
