Chapter 31: Miss, Please Behave Yourself!
“Lufei, bring some wine and dishes,” Xiao Qianqian ordered.
Lufei complied and left the room. Her efficiency was remarkable. Soon, several delicate dishes were arranged on the table.
They all looked exquisite.
“A toast to Lord Ye.” Xiao Qianqian poured a glass of wine, covered it with her wide sleeve, and drank it down in one gulp.
Every movement exuded a charming allure.
From a distance, Ye Ning didn’t feel much, but now, sitting together, he felt Xiao Qianqian’s charm magnified a hundredfold. The intoxicating fragrance wafted into his nostrils as he drank, and Ye Ning even began to feel a bit tipsy.
The wine didn’t intoxicate people. The person intoxicated him..
Seeing this, Luzhu quietly left. What happened next had nothing to do with her. But before leaving, she glanced at Ye Ning with resentment in her heart.
“Just wait to embarrass yourself!”
She didn’t think His Majesty’s “beauty trap” was a successful strategy. With her mistress’s charm, who could resist? Letting her seduce someone was simply bullying.
This wasn’t a fair duel.
“The piece you played just now, Lord Ye, did you compose it yourself?” Xiao Qianqian brought up the topic, pouring another glass of wine silently.
This wine had a trick. It was called “Peach Blossom Drunk.” Although not poisonous, it could magnify one’s desires.
Originally, Xiao Qianqian hadn’t intended to use such methods, but Ye Ning was just too unexpected. She had planned to take the initiative, shock Ye Ning with her music, and create a psychological gap for him. But she ended up being shocked herself. This made her resolute in her decision to play hardball with Ye Ning.
“It’s not my creation. It’s from an ancient music score I obtained in my childhood,” Ye Ning said.
“Where is that music score?” Xiao Qianqian inquired.
“I accidentally burned it while playing with fire as a child,” Ye Ning replied nonchalantly.
This conversation made Xiao Qianqian grit her teeth in frustration.
Is he trying to deceive a three-year-old child? This excuse is so ridiculous, it’s incredibly dismissive.
“What a pity…” Xiao Qianqian said with a fake smile. She poured another glass of wine, silently determined to make him embarrass himself today.
But little did she know, Ye Ning was also evaluating her.
“This woman is so attentive. She must have been conquered by me. She should be easy to handle…”
Ye Ning felt delighted.
Things were progressing quite smoothly. As long as he had some relationship with this woman, could the man behind her still tolerate it?
He saw the dawn of victory.
Feeling cheerful, he poured more wine, and they both drank several glasses. Between the clinking of their cups, they consumed quite a lot.
With ulterior motives, they gradually showed signs of intoxication, their faces flushed. Eventually, their bodies leaned closer together.
“Lord Ye,” Xiao Qianqian slumped into Ye Ning’s arms. Her eyes were hazy, and her fragrant lips emitted a scent reminiscent of orchids.
With her enchanting face, she was incredibly tempting.
Ye Ning was a righteous man.
It was hard not to react.
He didn’t suppress himself at all.
Fear of death made people reckless. If I’m not afraid of death, what else should I fear? The scariest thing in the world is death. If I’m not afraid of death, why should I suppress my nature?
The only thing to consider was whether I would lose out.
I, Ye Ning, a time-traveler and the future Heavenly Emperor!
As an outstanding man, would I really sacrifice my dignity?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt like he was losing out.
“Alright, alright. In order to become the Heavenly Emperor, I can only sacrifice my pure body. Alas, woman, you’re taking great advantage of me, do you know?” Ye Ning made a decision and began to get handsy.
This was professionalism.
Acting required the right attitude.
Xiao Qianqian felt it.
Her body stiffened at first, then relaxed.
“He’s completely lost!” Xiao Qianqian felt triumphant.
Indeed, no one could resist her charm.
“Lord Ye, such an outstanding man, is truly rare in the world,” she said playfully, poking Ye Ning’s chest with her jade-like fingers, speaking softly.
“This is the first time I’ve seen a woman as beautiful as Miss.”
Ye Ning enjoyed the tender moment.
No wonder they said dying under the peony flower was a romantic affair.
This feeling was indeed a bit intoxicating.
“With my appearance as seductive as willows and catkins, can I really captivate the Lord’s gaze?” Xiao Qianqian smiled coyly.
“If you were a willow, wouldn’t all the other women in the world feel ashamed?” Ye Ning praised first, then tactfully probed, “It’s just a pity that you’re already a woman of importance. We’re destined not to have any fate.”
“A woman of importance? Lord Ye, where did you hear that from?”
“There are many rumors in the streets.”
“That’s just to deceive others, deliberately spreading rumors… As of now, I am still a virgin.” Xiao Qianqian said somewhat shyly.
It wasn’t true, but she couldn’t admit it. Moreover, if she admitted to being a mistress of a powerful man, it would undoubtedly diminish her value in Ye Ning’s eyes. With his righteous character, how could he take another man’s woman? It didn’t fit the demeanor of a gentleman. It would likely cause his resistance.
But she had misunderstood.
Ye Ning was not an ordinary person. After hearing her words, instead of becoming more infatuated, he suddenly woke up halfway.
“You’re not a woman of importance?” His eyes, once intoxicated, were now half sober.
“Of course not, that’s just a rumor. But I do have another identity.” Xiao Qianqian didn’t look at Ye Ning, but maintained her seductive posture, speaking in an extremely enticing tone.
“In fact, I am a spy from the Rakshasa Country, lurking in the capital, gathering information about Great Zhou. At the same time, I am also recruiting talents for the Rakshasa Country… Lord Ye, with your extraordinary talent, you are a rare talent in the world. You have naturally caught the attention of our country. Nowadays, Great Zhou is in crisis, with unrest outside and conflicting political views inside. Corrupt officials are rampant, and the incompetent ruler is on the throne. There is no future at all. Why not abandon the darkness and seek enlightenment, just like me, and work for the Rakshasa Country?”
With these words, the beauty trap was fully set.
Next, it was up to Ye Ning to decide.
Xiao Qianqian thought this would be a process of struggle.
But what she didn’t expect was that the moment she finished speaking, her whole body was thrown out of Ye Ning’s arms.
His eyes were cold, and he said sternly, “Miss, please behave yourself!”
