Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4327

Khloris' anger did not throw Diego off. Instead, it only increased his excitement. He grinned and said, "You look so charming when you're angry, Khloris! Do you know how I've pined for you over the years!

"Come on, be my wife. I won't mistreat you!"

Diego drew his longsword and cut the ropes off Khloris' limbs in one swipe.

A sinister glint flashed in Diego's eyes as he raised his arm, swiping it in Khloris' direction!

Diego moved fast. Despite having regained her freedom, Khloris's internal energy was destroyed, and she was still weak. She tried to dodge him but failed to do so. He caught her wrist in the blink of an eye.

Diego got closer, keeping his grasp on her wrist. He moved nearer to Khloris and sniffed her; a disgustingly drunk look was on his face. He exclaimed, "You smell so good, Khloris. I can barely help myself around you."

"You—"

Humiliation and anger coursed through Khloris as she struggled. She roared, "Watch your actions, Diego. We're still on the forbidden grounds. What if your master finds out?"

Khloris' face was furious as she spoke, but her heart throbbed with nerves.

Had it been a day ago, Khloris would have hardly seen Diego as a threat, but things had changed. She had no internal energy and was as good at fresh meat on a chopping board. She was helpless.

Diego was not phased by her threats at all. He flashed a cocky smile. "Don't say that, Khloris. Isn't that so respectful of me? Think about how dangerous it would be for me to bring you down the mountain. Shouldn't you make me happy as repayment?

"Also, I'm the senior disciple. Even if someone overheard us outside, they would not dare say anything."

Diego continued to stroke Khloris' hand grotesquely.

"I—"

Khloris struggled, trying but failing to free herself. She spat coldly, "Don't try to put on airs with me. I don't want you to save me or bring me down the mountain, even if I die here.

"Get off me, this instant!

Khloris said the last of her words through gritted teeth. She was boiling with fury. She had been the Deputy Sect Master, highly feared and respected. Men would never get the chance to disrespect her like that.

That was so humiliating.
