Moonlight filtered through the iron bars of the arch window, casting shadows like a prison cell on their entwined bodies. The ribbon fluttered between Su Li's fingers as he bound Freya's wrists to the wall, adorned with an obsidian-carved griffon head. This symbolic posture made the female knight bite her lower lip—she finally understood why Su Li had brought her to this bathhouse; it was expertly crafted to be a water prison!
In the misty air, Su Li caressed the light red marks left by the vine: "This is the trophy we gained in the battle against the tree demon. According to Lunadeshan, it is called the golden honeysuckle vine, the best medium for Tal's Foot Binding Technique."
Then he whispered against Freya's heated ear lobe, "Do you know why I chose this plant? This magic plant grows only on creatures that have been stained with green dragon's dragon blood. The more you struggle, the more intense the fragrance becomes."
