Chapter 457

However, these were merely thoughts in Bai Yujiao’s mind; she was unwilling to reveal them to Chen Tian. Xia Buyu, of course, was well aware of when the two of them had engaged in their illicit affairs. She and Chen Tian had been an accident to begin with, and before her maidenhood was taken, she had known nothing about him at all. Having spent this time in the cave, with Chen Tian acting as their caretaker, the thorn in her heart had softened just a little. In particular, whenever she noticed the two of them sleeping together so shamelessly, she felt a strange sensation. An indescribable fantasy had been stirred within her. The more she thought about it, the more trapped she became by her own musings. To achieve a state of purity, one must have no desires. In the past, she had fought desperately to suppress the influence of worldly desires; even when she ate, it was only to sustain her strength and stave off starvation. But now, having tasted so many delicacies, her palate had awakened, and she had begun to pursue the pleasures of food. Other aspects of her nature were awakening as well, shifting from pure asceticism to a state of being well-fed and warm, and thus, longing for a man.
