"Sadly, even if you did have sex with me, you wouldn't get an heir. I am impotent. I can't even spread my seed. All I have is my handsome face, nothing else. You should know even my wife has turned lesbian because she can't even have sex with me. I am nothing but a handsome man wearing a green hat.

" Ryu watched Emma closely, and his words seemed to have some effect on her as she once again stopped in her tracks.

"You're lying!

" Emma yelled out. Although she said Ryu was lying, she was also second guessing this thought as well.

"You can try it, but when you fail to get it up or lose your virginity to a man who can't even get it up then you will know.

" Ryu was trying to push this fact the most. He only needed to buy time until Chi arrived.

"This...

" Emma was starting to get embarrassed. In truth, Emma had quite a good looking body. She had fair white skin and a modest set of perky breasts. If it was not for Ryu using all his will power to keep his lower member in check, he probably would have already had his little brother popping up to say hi.

Emma was lost in thought. If what Ryu said was indeed true and she lost her virginity to this man, she would become a laughing stock of the Qin family as well as all of Westfall city. With this thought in mind, she decided not to risk it until she was one hundred percent sure.

"It is late. I will have a doctor come check on you in the morning.

"

After saying these words, Emma quickly put some clothes on before yelling for the Guards.

"Someone come, bring him to the side room!

"

Ryu was once again knocked out. When he woke again, he was dressed in his normal clothes again but still chained up. He let out a sigh of relief. It seemed he was able to talk his way out of the situation.

"Chi, I was able to talk the girl out of it, so I am safe for the time being.

"

"That's good, but that still won't keep me from killing that **ing bitch!

"

---

A few hours later, Ryu heard the door to the room he was in, open up. A maid around the same age as Emma poked her head in and looked around. When she saw that no one was inside except for Ryu, she quickly entered and closed the door behind her. Ryu stared at the girl coldly as she walked over to the bed.

"Don't worry, I am here to free you.

"

Ryu was surprised by this sudden turn of events. He did not understand why a maid of the Qin family would try to help him. Wouldn't a family maid want to do everything she could for her master?

"Why are you doing this?

"

"Because I have been tasked to make sure the Qin family keeps the current status quo within Westfall city. If you were to impregnate Emma Qin, then the Qin family would have a chance to have a male heir. My Vaughan family will not allow this. We are already in a power struggle with the Qin family. We can not allow them to gain any more strength.

" The maid replied as she pulled out a metal object from her shirt and began fiddling with the cuffs on Ryu's ankles.

"My name is Ryu. May I know yours?

" Ryu asked.

"Clara.

" Clara responded with a small smile. She quickly undid the bindings on Ryu, freeing him from the shackles.

As soon as the shackles were off his body, Ryu could feel his soul qi again.

"So these shackles were keeping me from using my soul qi….

"

"Yes, they could tell you were a cultivator which was why they used the sealing shackles to keep you from moving your soul qi and freeing yourself. We need to move quickly, or else we will be discovered.

" Clara said as she quickly got Ryu's boots and helped him put them on.

"Thank you. I owe you and your family one.

" Ryu said with a smile.

Clara blushed slightly, seeing Ryu smile at her. She shook her head as she said:

"Thank me when we have gotten out of the estate. Come, we need to go.

"

Ryu nodded and followed Clara out of the room. He never thought the one to save him would be a maid from another NPC faction within the city. To be able to plant some spy within the Qin family meant that the Vaughn Family was also very powerful within Westfall.

The two hurried down the hallway stopping at the end to check for anyone walking around. Clara turned back to Ryu and, in a low voice, said:

"Right now is the change of guard, so this is our only chance of escape. Stick to me like glue and do not lag behind. If I motion with my hand like this, stop, okay?

"

Ryu did not speak but nodded his head instead. He did not dare to speak out loud in case he was heard by someone. Clara smiled and nodded back at Ryu before turning down the hallway towards a hall window. Clara slowly opened the window and looked outside. They were on the second floor, but for a cultivator, this height was nothing.

"Alright, let's go.

"

Clara hopped out the window and landed softly on the ground below. Ryu was right behind her. They both then ran towards the shadows out of sight of any light heading for the estate walls.

Back inside, Emma rolled around in her bed, her cheeks red. She couldn't believe all the bold things she had done today. But she did so to try to help her father. Not able to sleep, she decided to get up and go check on the handsome man. She walked out of her room and to the side room and opened the door. But when she saw nothing but an empty bed and empty shackles her eyes went wide in surprise.

"This!? He escaped !? How!?

"
