44 -Forty-One: Enthralling Charm
Zhou Chen hummed a tune and didn’t turn back, heading straight towards the top floor of the Zuixian Pavilion at a leisurely pace.
Upon leaving the bamboo garden and just as he turned his head, he saw a man with a soft and ominous countenance leaning against the blue-tiled wall with his arms folded across his chest.
Sizi Yu.
Seeing the other party, Zhou Chen was not surprised and asked cheerfully,
“Yo, what brought you out here?”
Similar to Ying’er’s style, Sizi Yu had been hiding in the shadows and hadn’t come out these past days, to the point that Xu Yuan thought the only people protecting him were Zhou Chen and Ying’er.
Sizi Yu glanced at Zhou Chen, a smile playing on his lips,
“I saw you acting strangely and came out to ask, are you…
planning to always follow the Third Young Master now?”
The Third Young Master’s recent behavior, as well as the previous ‘knocking’ he had done to Zhou Chen, had all been observed by him.
Indeed, it involved some tactics, but that’s just it.
These tactics were surprising coming from the Third Young Master, but if they were on other sect heirs, they would just be the most basic ways to control people.
The transformation of the Third Young Master was enough to make him, an old friend, rein in, but to be as obedient as he now appeared was a bit too much.
Zhou Chen laughed and patted Sizi Yu on the shoulder, gesturing to talk while walking,
“I never said I would always be following the Third Young Master.
Helping him with these things is to make up for the crappy things I did before, and doing these things…
I’m not losing anything substantial, and I can satisfy the Third Young Master’s pride, why not?”
Pausing,
Zhou Chen pointed to the top floor of Zuixian Pavilion and grinned,
“Making the Third Young Master happy comes with its rewards.”
Sizi Yu knew he was referring to those two sisters, with a look of contempt in his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen immediately wrapped an arm around Sizi Yu’s shoulder, laughing hehe and said,
“People like you take reputation too seriously; losing face can even affect one’s mindset in cultivation.
Sizi Yu, broaden your view.
Right now, the Third Young Master has the Innate Taoist Body.
If he truly turns over a new leaf, with my current performance, I’ll be his number one confidant.
If he doesn’t, then naturally, I won’t miss out on the pleasures of daily life~”
The alley was quiet, their conversation confined to a radius of half a yard around them.
Sizi Yu shook his head helplessly and spat out two words,
“Philistine.”
Zhou Chen didn’t get angry and nodded in agreement,
“Indeed, philistine.
I’m not like you sect scions; I’m quite poor.”
Sizi Yu gave Zhou Chen a sidelong glance, seeming to have more to say but ultimately didn’t speak.
Sighing, Sizi Yu paused and then suddenly asked,
“By the way, what do you think about the Third Young Master’s change?”
“…”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen turned his gaze towards Sizi Yu as well.
The two looked at each other for a few moments.
“What do you mean by that?” The laughter in Zhou Chen’s voice was gone.
“Before the Eldest Young Master left, he asked us to pay attention to the Third Young Master,” Sizi Yu replied.
“You practice Cultivating Energy, so you should understand better than I do that possession tactics won’t have any memories.”
“….”
After a moment of silence, Sizi Yu narrowed his eyes,
“Indeed, there won’t be any memories, but Zhou Chen, do you think the previous Third Young Master would have conducted the previous ‘knocking’?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen shook his head with a smile and countered,
“Sizi Yu, do you think if the previous Third Young Master had attempted the previous ‘knocking’, anyone would have taken him seriously?”
“….” Sizi Yu fell silent.
Zhou Chen took a deep breath, patting Sizi Yu on the back,
“Don’t think too much, let’s just faithfully report back.
Let the Eldest Young Master and the Prime Minister make the judgments themselves.” freewebnøvel.coɱ
“Alright, fine.”
“Ah, speaking of which, do you want to join me for fun at that top floor?”
“What?”
“There are twin sisters there~”
“…Scram.”
“Hahaha….”
……
An elegant bamboo house, the side room silent.
Every sound from the outside world was isolated,
At times, Xu Yuan felt that transmigration was a wonderful thing.
At least, this identity he transmigrated into was a wonderful thing.
It allowed him to see up close just how beautiful these women who looked like heavenly immortals were, and even to kiss their fragrant cheeks.
Old LSP indeed.
Without much conversation with the enchantingly born female lead after his words, Xu Yuan quietly enjoyed the changes in Su Jinxuan’s expression.
He tried to infer from Su Jinxuan’s next move which storyline the main character of this world would take.
In Cang Yuan, there were several routes; Su Jinxuan had already met the protagonist in some, even harbouring secret feelings for him during their interactions.
The silence in the side room persisted.
With her lips lightly pursed, Su Jinxuan remained silent for a long time.
Seeing that she did not move, Xu Yuan lifted his teacup for a sip and stared at her alluring peach blossom eyes,
“Why don’t you move?”
Finally, Su Jinxuan slowly began to speak,
“Young Master, please do not make things difficult for me…”
“Heh…
it seems Miss Jin Xuan needs a bit of help from this Young Master.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan stood up and walked towards Su Jinxuan.
The original body wouldn’t be as direct as him.
It wasn’t due to cherishing fragrance and valuing jade, but rather because having had his fill of lavish feasts, he enjoyed the fun of flirting with these beauties.
Life should have a sense of ceremony.
The more elaborate the foreplay, the tastier the meal in the end.
However, this was probably one of the reasons why the original body ended up being led around by the nose by Su Jinxuan.
Xu Yuan was not prepared to give Su Jinxuan any chance for recourse.
Approaching her, Xu Yuan directly bent down and reached towards her low-cut red robe under her watchful eyes.
Not hurried, not slow, yet fast enough for her to react.
Like a delicate flower without bones, Su Jinxuan subtly leaned back to avoid him, and with a smooth motion, she drew the jade hairpin from her hair, placing it against her throat, lips parted slightly,
“Third Young Master, please don’t do this…”
With the hairpin drawn, three thousand strands of black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, the charming woman’s eyes carried a hint of stubbornness just right.
“…..”
Following her words and seeing her expression, Xu Yuan inexplicably felt a hint of imperceptible pity.
But the next moment,
Seeing the woman with the hairpin against her neck evoked a strong déjà vu in him, causing him to laugh softly.
What era was it, still pulling this act?
“Pfft~”
Seeing this, Su Jinxuan bit the corner of her lip and pressed the hairpin inwards.
The hairpin immediately pricked the fair skin, and strands of fresh blood flowed along her collarbone into the abyss.
“…”
The smile on his face stiffened, and Xu Yuan took a step back, raising his hand in a gesture,
“Jin Xuan, I was just joking, why did you take it seriously?”
Su Jinxuan remained silent, her gaze fixed on Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan smiled and stepped back again.
It was only then that Su Jinxuan slowly put down the hairpin in her hand, her chest rising and falling gently as if she had breathed a sigh of relief,
“Third Young Master…
please cut back on such jokes…”
“Whoosh—”
A strand of blood-colored essence energy erupted from Xu Yuan’s fingertip, shooting through the air and heading straight for the wrist holding the hairpin.
“Ah…”
With a cry of alarm, Su Jinxuan lost any ability to resist, and the hairpin fell out of her hand.
But Xu Yuan, upon seeing this, did not continue to advance; instead, he cautiously stepped back.
He realized he had become affected.
The Innate Soul Body’s will-spirit was resilient and sensitive, and the strong alienation power of the Blood Essence Meteoring Art meant that as soon as he started the cultivation technique, Xu Yuan immediately sensed that every move of this woman was stirring his thoughts……
