Chapter 296: How Should Selena Be Judged?
What does Selena want to do?
This was the only thought that flashed through Luo Xiu’s mind at that moment.
In the darkness, the two were very close, so close that only their breaths remained between them.
Luo Xiu was fine; his breathing was still normal.
But Selena was clearly not normal at all.
Her breaths were warm and slightly hurried.
The heat hit the back of Luo Xiu’s neck, making him feel a bit itchy and uncomfortable.
Something was off!
It was too off!
Luo Xiu was not someone who was particularly dull when it came to emotions; he had certainly noticed Selena’s hints over the past few days.
However, emotionally and logically, it was impossible for him to really have any special feelings for Selena.
He was just pretending to be a pervert; he wasn’t really a pervert!
Moreover, in every regard, Luo Xiu considered himself a good person with excellent character and learning.
So, it was completely impossible for him to lay a hand on Selena.
He opened his mouth to speak, but a delicate finger gently blocked his lips.
Luo Xiu looked down and met the girl’s slightly reddened eyes, and he could even faintly see a hint of moisture in them.
It wasn’t due to sadness but rather a kind of indescribable feeling.
Selena’s voice was soft, with a pleading tone.
“Lord Luo Xiu… please don’t be in a hurry to refuse, let me finish speaking, okay?”
To be honest, in front of a girl like this, there were probably very few men in the world who could resist.
Luo Xiu couldn’t help but shift his gaze away, murmuring an agreement.
Getting the response she wanted, Selena smiled with satisfaction.
It was a very happy smile, just like her current thoughts.
Before meeting Luo Xiu, Selena had been unhappy every single day.
But after encountering Luo Xiu, she felt extremely happy every day.
This happiness initially stemmed from the sense of security Luo Xiu provided her.
It gave her, who had spent years running and hiding, a place to belong that only existed in her dreams.
She could live without worries about food and clothing, could do whatever she wanted each day, and even if bad people came, she didn’t have to worry about being captured.
Selena knew deeply that all of this was given to her by Luo Xiu.
However, as time passed, those initial feelings of gratitude slowly evolved into something else during their daily interactions over these days.
Selena called it greed.
She was no longer satisfied with the status quo; she wanted to hold on tighter and gain more.
She greedily wanted to claim Lord Luo Xiu for herself.
Sometimes, Selena would reflect on herself, wondering if she shouldn’t be so overreaching and so ungrateful.
Yet she still chose to do so.
Those impulses and feelings did not accumulate over time; rather, they seemed to have been quietly brewing, exploding completely at a certain moment.
Perhaps this was the reason she was called a “witch”?
Since childhood, Selena had carried the title of “witch” and naturally didn’t believe in any gods in the world.
While the world revered and prayed to the gods, her heart was often just a stagnant pool, stirred by no ripples.
This situation remained until Luo Xiu’s appearance.
For her, wasn’t Luo Xiu just a god solely belonging to her?
Everything she desired was granted to her by this god.
Therefore, Selena was willing to give her all to her god.
The thoughts that had been suppressed in the girl’s heart for so long slowly began to be spoken softly under the bright moonlight.
Luo Xiu did not rush to move, remaining very quiet.
He was an extremely qualified listener.
No interruptions, no interjections.
He only responded from time to time.
This allowed Selena’s emotions to be fully released.
She knew that her words, her childish thoughts, were being taken seriously by Lord Luo Xiu.
Everything received a response.
Then, in the next moment, Selena gently pulled down the strap of her dress.
Her skin was white and almost transparent.
Under the moonlight, it emitted an extremely strange beauty.
Especially those few bizarre black patterns on her legs that oddly shimmered.
She undressed quickly, but luckily Luo Xiu turned away even faster.
The man let out a long sigh of relief, looking at her with the back of his head.
Selena was quite puzzled; she stepped closer and wrapped her arms around the man.
This was a move she frequently made over these days; she had grown somewhat accustomed to it.
But at this moment, her delicate body still trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
She softly asked, “Lord Luo Xiu, what’s wrong?”
Luo Xiu maintained his position of looking at her with the back of his head and stammered, “I-I’m not ready yet.”
Upon hearing this, Selena became even more confused.
She felt that the positions of Lord Luo Xiu and herself seemed to have reversed.
“It’s okay, Lord Luo Xiu, after all, there will be such a day sooner or later, right?”
Luo Xiu sighed, “It’s not like that; you’re still too young, you know? Let’s talk about future matters later.”
Selena rested her small head on his shoulder, her eyes clear as water, exhaling like orchids.
She gathered her courage and continued, “But Lord Luo Xiu, in the Maya Empire, girls my age have already married and had children.”
She intentionally straightened up, her tone sounding somewhat tense, “And also, Selena isn’t small anymore.”
Luo Xiu felt a bit of skin-crawling confusion and bit his tongue slightly.
For some reason, his originally clear heart started to become chaotic the moment the girl’s body pressed up against him.
It wasn’t that there was anything wrong with himself; it felt more like Selena was exuding some kind of aura.
This aura seemed to infinitely stir the suppressed desires buried in the hearts of people.
To say it bluntly, the title “witch” sometimes fit her quite well.
Luo Xiu pondered these thoughts but still resolutely refused to turn his head.
“No, we are currently in an unequal position, and this difference in status creates an unequal relationship between us.”
“So, your actions are not truly as heartfelt as you think.”
“What I want is a truly independent Selena, not someone forced to compromise. Can you understand that, Selena?”
Luo Xiu’s tone softened as he quietly persuaded her.
But the girl only stubbornly shook her head.
“Lord Luo Xiu is wrong; you’re not me, how do you know if I’m not being true to my heart?”
Luo Xiu felt helpless, “Anyway, today is definitely not the right time. Let’s wait a while longer, and when you truly mature, everything will become clear, right?”
His tone softened, but his stance remained resolute.
After multiple setbacks, even the boldest girl would inevitably feel a hint of fear.
Moreover, what about Selena, who was only relying on a breath to sustain herself?
She knew in her heart that letting herself act willfully was already the limit for Lord Luo Xiu.
So, Selena took a deep breath, her nose filled with the scent of Lord Luo Xiu.
She had planned to back away from the man, but suddenly thought of something and asked, “Lord Luo Xiu, if that’s the case, then why don’t you dare to look at me?”
Her voice quietly turned extremely seductive.
“With you like this, Lord Luo Xiu, I really don’t know how I can be judged…”
