Chapter 2288: Chapter 1978: Beauty in My Arms, Who Needs Wine

Upon hearing the words of the brothel keeper, Lu Chen came back to his senses and, smiling, said to her, "She’ll stay, the others can leave."

Seeing that Lu Chen had taken a liking to Zhou Youyou, the brothel keeper immediately addressed the other women in the room, "All of you come out, lest you ruin Master Lu’s enjoyment in elegance."

Once her words fell, the women in the room filed out one after another, and afterward, even the brothel keeper turned to leave, closing the door on her way out.

At that moment, only Lu Chen and Zhou Youyou were left in the room.

Zhou Youyou had already reacted by now, but she remained anxious and uneasy, very worried that Lu Chen might discern her mysterious identity. Of course, that was only one aspect; more unsettling was that sense of familiarity.

Seeing Zhou Youyou standing motionless by the door, Lu Chen asked, "What’s wrong? You seem very afraid of me, standing by the door all the time."

Zhou Youyou comforted herself internally: Surely he hasn’t seen through my identity.

Then Zhou Youyou lowered her head and slowly approached Lu Chen. Upon reaching him, she softly murmured, "Greetings, Master Lu."

At that moment, Zhou Youyou felt her mind become fuzzy, a blank slate, with her reddened cheeks making her appear even purer and more enchanting.

Seeing her in this state, Lu Chen felt a sudden impulse to tease her.

Lu Chen then raised his hand, directly grasping her delicate hand, pulling her into his embrace and seating her upon his lap.

This sudden turn of events left Zhou Youyou even more flustered and helpless; she had not anticipated that a mysterious being like herself would one day fear a human.

Lu Chen inquired, "I heard you just came to the Hundred Flowers Tower?"

Zhou Youyou answered haltingly, "Y-yes, Master."

Zhou Youyou continued to keep her head low, not daring to meet Lu Chen’s gaze.

Sitting on Lu Chen’s lap, Zhou Youyou felt her body growing increasingly warm, and the deceitful evil qi within her threatened to spill over uncontrollably.

Lu Chen leaned in close to her ear and softly whispered, "So you are still untouched."

The warmth of Lu Chen’s breath against Zhou Youyou’s ear rendered her mind increasingly chaotic, leaving her momentarily unable to respond to his question.

Just as Zhou Youyou’s mind went blank, she suddenly realized that Lu Chen’s hand was slipping into her dress.

Zhou Youyou snapped back to reality, aware that despite being mysterious, she understood humans well. Lu Chen had already started to make his move, and what he intended next was obvious.

Zhou Youyou hurriedly said, "M-Master, I... I perform, not sell my body."

At this, Zhou Youyou attempted to rise from Lu Chen’s lap.

But how could Lu Chen possibly afford her such a chance? Lu Chen promptly tightened his grip around Zhou Youyou’s waist, firmly holding her in place on his lap.

Zhou Youyou struggled momentarily, but upon realizing she couldn’t get up, had to concede defeat.

If she truly wished to rise, she could easily do so. With her early-stage Xuan Realm strength, the activation of deceitful evil would make her unmanageable for anyone.

However, if she activated her deceitful evil, her identity would be exposed.

Zhou Youyou realized that if things continued this way, she might lose herself tonight, so she quickly diverted the topic: "M-Master, let me pour you a drink."

She thought to herself, as long as Lu Chen got intoxicated, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to her afterward.

Lu Chen laughingly replied, "With beauty in my arms, why need the drink?"

As he spoke, Lu Chen’s hands continued their wanton exploration. Though Zhou Youyou wanted to break free, she inexplicably couldn’t summon the deceitful evil within her body; perhaps it was the fear of exposure, or perhaps other reasons.

Seeing Zhou Youyou’s favorability towards him rise to 90, even Lu Chen found it a bit unbelievable, considering Zhou Youyou was the ancestor of the strange. Although amnesiac, her identity at present was mysterious.

During their time within the Chaos Beast’s belly, Zhou Youyou fell for him at first sight, not just due to memory loss, but also because her identity was human.

Now, in this world, her identity is mysterious; logically, beings of this nature view humans as nourishment, incapable of developing affection for humans, let alone love at first sight.

For Zhou Youyou to fall for him at first sight twice in a row, Lu Chen suspected she might be cultivating the path of emotion, or there might exist some kind of cause-effect between them, influenced by the power of cause and effect, making Zhou Youyou fall for him at first sight every time.

But now wasn’t the time to delve into these matters. Since Zhou Youyou had again fallen into his hands, he definitely intended to thoroughly bully her.

With this thought in mind, Lu Chen promptly stood to his feet, scooping Zhou Youyou up.

Currently, Zhou Youyou felt completely powerless, unable to resist Lu Chen, leaving her at his mercy as he carried her toward the bed.

At this point, Zhou Youyou’s heart raced, filled with panic but devoid of any notion of defiance.

Once Lu Chen reached the bedside, he laid Zhou Youyou down, then leaned in close, nose to nose with her, locking gazes with her captivating eyes.

Lu Chen’s sudden proximity made Zhou Youyou feel as if her heart would leap from her chest. Lu Chen smiled and said, "Only perform, not sell? I’ve never heard of any woman from the Hundred Flowers Tower not selling herself."

On hearing Lu Chen speak, Zhou Youyou truly feared, yet her uncooperative body remained incapable of resistance.

Lu Chen raised his hand at this moment, gently caressing Zhou Youyou’s delicate features, and with a smile, remarked, "You’re so adorable."

Praised like this by Lu Chen, Zhou Youyou felt an even stranger sensation stirring within her, as a veil clouded her eyes, and in a mosquito-like voice, she murmured, "N-no, can’t, mmm..."

As soon as Zhou Youyou uttered her last word, Lu Chen lowered his head and boldly claimed her lips.

By now, Zhou Youyou had entirely forsaken thoughts of resistance; the instant Lu Chen’s lips touched hers, she felt a rush of electrical sensation through her body, rendering her mind overwhelmingly joyous.

Lu Chen relinquished restraint at this moment, heightening his advances, and before long, Zhou Youyou was absorbed in rapture.

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the Hundred Flowers Tower, the trio of Lu Xun sensed the commotion within the room, exchanging confused glances.

Wasn’t the intent to entice the mysterious to react by coming to the Hundred Flowers Tower? How did things end up by the bedside?

The trio felt somewhat helpless; evidently, their princely heir truly had difficulty shrugging off his innate nature.

At this moment, Zhao Yu remarked, "Could it be that Master has recovered some memory?"

Lu Xun responded, "Perhaps, otherwise why would Master show interest in women from the Hundred Flowers Tower."

Since Lu Chen’s memory loss, he had focused almost entirely on cultivation, striving to elevate his realm. Now, suddenly seeking pleasure at the Hundred Flowers Tower, to say he hadn’t regained memory seemed implausible to them.

The trio let out a deep sigh, a touch of worry seeping into their hearts.

They worried Lu Chen would revert to his former ways, succumbing once more.

The former Lu Chen lacked talent, so indulging was inconsequential. But now Lu Chen possessed great talent; to squander it on women would indeed be a waste.
