35: You think you can treat me like merchandise?

"Once there is movement in her belly, I will send her over to you."

Fiona finally understood her brother's plan and was beaming with joy.

"I understand."

Tu Nan, standing to the side, understood perfectly well. Gray intended to keep using her until she was pregnant.

The situation now was: the longer it dragged on... the more dangerous it became.

"If you understand, get lost." Gray waved his hand, starting to lose patience.

Fiona left.

Tu Nan collapsed to the ground with a thud, a small ball, trembling.

Gray raised an eyebrow. He did not care that Tu Nan had heard all of this; after all, if she spoke of it, she would be dead anyway. But he still needed to give her a warning.

"Don't be afraid. As long as you obediently conceive my child, I naturally will not treat you poorly."

"That's enough, come over here."

Tu Nan raised her head.

Completely different from what Gray expected, there were no tears on her face, nor was there any fear or terror.

Her eyes were frighteningly bright.

"I... do you mean, you are prepared to change my fostering status from Li?"

Gray was a bit confused.

What status did he need to change? What nonsense was this Foster Mother spouting?

Tu Nan clearly misunderstood his meaning and was still happy about it.

"That's great, I was worried about becoming a masterless Foster Mother. As long as you give me an identity, I will bear you twins and do everything else." She eagerly listed her uses, then suddenly frowned.

"I have an idea, why do you have to wait 3 months? There is no need, right?"

What, was this Foster Mother genuinely worried about him?

However, Gray immediately realized that the life of a masterless Foster Mother was ten thousand times worse than her current situation; it seemed she was just too terrified.

But what kind of insight could a Foster Mother have? He tugged at the corner of his mouth, not intending to listen to so much.

"These things are not for you to worry about, crawl over here."

Tu Nan was very disappointed and asked him.

"I can tell everyone later that Kun Bu has hidden supplies, but he just refuses to bring them out."

Gray suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"What... did you say?"

Tu Nan blinked her eyes.

"When I get to Kun Bu..." She pointed to her own ear and then tapped the door, signaling that walls have ears.

Gray felt a bit more interested; he wanted to hear what kind of underhanded scheme this little thing had.

Moreover, following this line of thought, there could indeed be some maneuvering.

After a moment of thought, he roared at the guard at the door: "He Qiong, stop guarding. Get lost, get lost, get lost!"

The guard just assumed he had suddenly become interested and found him to be in the way. He was happy to agree and turned to walk away.

"Are you waiting for me to invite you? Come here and tell me."

Gray emphasized the word "invite," gesturing for Tu Nan to come forward.

Tu Nan timidly raised her eyes, quickly scanning the interior of the tent, her gaze flickering slightly.

It was very crude, with only a warm-toned lamp lit, a piece of animal hide, a set of bedding, and Gray's outer garments and weapons hanging in a corner of the tent.

She truly did as Gray requested, crawling over step by step until she reached Gray's side.

"Not bad. As long as you are obedient, I certainly will not treat you poorly." Gray smiled, looking Tu Nan up and down. "You haven't eaten anything today, right?"

He tapped a plate beside him, smiling with deep meaning. "Here, Sand Fruit. Moisten your throat."

"Come on, tell me." Gray had not forgotten the topic from just now.

Tu Nan felt nauseous inside, but she still smiled as she reached for Gray's feet. While diligently taking off his shoes, she asked, "Lord Gray... why are you only focused on Kun Bu? Look at me~ How about I help you relax first? My massage technique is very good..."

Tu Nan pouted and acted coquettishly.

Gray sensed a bit of interest. Well, this Female Beast actually had some tricks; it seemed she really intended to work for him, and now she was seducing him.

A sense of Male satisfaction surged through him. He quite enjoyed the desire to control his prey, which made him feel even more powerful and omnipotent.

"Take off your cloak." Gray ordered calmly.

Tu Nan paused, then stood up and obediently took off her cloak.

Gray watched with great interest and added.

"What about the dagger? Put it away too. Don't accidentally hurt yourself later."

Tu Nan raised her head blankly, then hurriedly crouched down to dig the dagger out of the inner pocket of her cloak.

She held the dagger in her hand, not knowing whether to hand it to Gray or put it somewhere. She looked both flustered and pitiful.

Gray was suddenly choked by smoke, coughed several times, and almost burst out laughing.

Seeing her seem suddenly intelligent just a moment ago, he had been afraid she was plotting something. Who would have thought...

Well, he had overestimated this Foster Mother.

"Put it there." Gray relaxed his whole body, deciding to enjoy this night properly.

His emotions had been on edge for the past two days, and he really did need to relax—in every sense.

Tu Nan then crawled forward two steps on her knees and touched his feet.

Seeing that Gray did not object, she placed her hands on his feet and began to knead them gently.

She controlled the strength of her hands perfectly, kneading along the Meridians on his feet stroke by stroke. Gray truly felt a mix of numbness and pleasure.

Li lived a good life; no wonder he had protected such a thin and weak-looking Foster Mother so tightly before. She really did have some skills.

Under Tu Nan's service, Gray felt that the atmosphere in this crude tent had relaxed.

Tu Nan massaged him from his feet to his calves, and then to his thighs.

She finally sorted everything out in her mind.

Gray also finally felt that the foreplay was enough and it was time for the main course.

He pulled Tu Nan into his arms.

"Ah!" Tu Nan couldn't control herself for a moment, letting out a coquettish cry, "Oh!"

She immediately sounded like she was about to cry, her hands forming fists, half-resisting and half-yielding as she stroked Gray.

"I'm going to be seen by others, I don't want that..."

Her teardrops welled up in her eyes, teetering on the edge of falling.

"Who is watching? They left long ago."

Gray laughed loudly, coaxing her, "I wouldn't want you to be seen by others either."

If I believed your words, I would be a complete fool, Tu Nan sneered inwardly.

She looked at the lighting lamp and pouted in complaint, "Look at that lamp, it's so bright. Whatever we do inside, can't people outside see it?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to hide this from Kun Bu?"

Gray's movements paused, and he sat up.

"Everything is as our obedient one wishes. Now... are you satisfied?"

The lamp was twisted off by him.

In the darkness, Gray leered and lunged at Tu Nan.

"Ah..."

Tu Nan exclaimed in surprise.

She was pressed tightly underneath this smelly and dirty man.

Forced to hold him, Tu Nan endured the nausea and counted in her heart.

One.

Two.

Three...

Gray remained motionless, stiff; it seemed...

The anesthetic had taken effect.

Gray was successfully drugged unconscious.

Tu Nan's eyes shone brightly, a cold sneer curled the corners of her lips, and cold words spilled from her mouth.

"Yes, I am satisfied now."

Heh.

The guard outside was not there, the lamp was extinguished, and no one would pay attention to the commotion after Gray lunged at her.

This was the best time for her to make her move.

The dagger? That was just a "risk" she put out in the open, specifically to make Gray notice it.

The weapon disguised as a bracelet was Tu Nan's final trump card.

But the problem was not completely solved; she was still in trouble.
