Chapter 135: Love and Hate Intertwined

  "How am I?"

  Glen pointed at his own nose with a smile and said this sentence, while Xia Ya hadn't said anything yet, the rabbit general next to him was completely stunned.

  After a while, Lu Ruo suddenly jumped up and shouted: "You? Are you kidding me?! You actually want to go with this kid?!"

  The fatty's face was quivering with rage, his eyes bulging out of their sockets: "You come and help me!! Damn it! I'll make you the standard bearer of the vanguard! The heavy cavalry banner team is yours! And the rank of deputy general! I'll give you double military pay! Priority logistical supplies!! The power to command on the battlefield, and the position of chief strategist of the army!! Whatever you want, I'll give it all to you!!"

  Rourou was so excited that he wished he could rush up and grab Green tightly.

  Greene's face was calm, he looked at the fatty and said lightly: "Old friend, it's not that I don't want to join you, but... do you think the military department will agree to transfer me under your command?"

  As soon as he heard this, the fat boy immediately shut his mouth, and the excited look on his face gradually disappeared. He finally stomped his foot in frustration and muttered: "It's not fair!"

  Xia Ya finally had a chance to interject, he seemed to be somewhat incredulous as he looked at Green, opening his mouth: "This... General Green..."

  "I haven't been a general for a long time." Ge Mo smiled slightly and interrupted Xia Ya's words.

  "Alright, Lieutenant Colonel Greene." Xia Ya took a deep breath: "Although I don't know you very well yet. But I've heard this fatty say that you're extremely capable. Are you sure you want to follow me? You used to be part of the Central Reserve Corps, and now you'd be following me to a miscellaneous army in some place...and your position would be demoted to battalion commander..."

  Grenn grunted and gazed at Shaya. He also glanced at Ruru, who was still somewhat resentful on the side. Then this frustrated general sighed.

  "I don't want to wait any longer," Green said with a hint of desolation in his tone.

  "What's the use of being a general, give me three years: I'll turn out an army of iron for you! As for battalion commanders..." Greene said with a tone of mockery: "My current military rank is that of a general, but what's the use, I'm still stuck in a military academy as a teacher. For so many years... occasionally waking up in the middle of the night, I can feel my body slowly rusting away, slowly rotting! I've almost forgotten the thrill of riding horses at full gallop! Forgotten the life of gold armor and iron horses! Forgotten those years of gunfire and arrows! The bugle call to charge, the soldiers' shouts... all these, I'm about to forget!"

  Lour fell silent, and Pong's face looked somewhat unsightly. He finally let out a sigh: "Those military factions... the empire's termites!"

  Glen's eyes were slightly red, he patted Rour heavily and bit his lip: "Old friend... I'm not reconciled to this!"

  He suddenly pulled his clothes and said a sentence that made Xia Ya somewhat moved.

  "It's been... many years since I've been hurt."

  It seems like a very ordinary sentence, yet it carries an indescribable sense of desolation and loss.

  (It's been a long time since I've been injured, hasn't it? In that case...it would seem laughable to ordinary people. But in the heart of General Green, the thrill of battle, the tearing of clothes and the wrapping of wounds, that kind of life is exhilarating!)

  Rour's eyes also turned red, and he patted Glin on the back with a strange laugh: "You crazy dog, why are you talking so gloomily? Haha! Anyway, if you really bring it out, those guys from the same period will be blinded! All these years, everyone has been eyeing you enviously, I don't know how many people want to poach you, if not for the interference of those bastards in the military department, you wouldn't have been stuck in the academy teaching those rookie soldiers."

  As he spoke, Lü Er suddenly glared at Xia Ya and shouted fiercely: "You little brat, Ge Lin is going to your place, you'd better treat him well! Do you know that with this mad dog in your hands, who knows how many people will secretly envy you!"

  Xia Ya didn't joke around this time and seriously nodded her head.

  The three of them looked at each other, and Rour slapped the table: "How can we not have wine at a time like this! Come on, come on! Let's go out and drink!"

  Grenn burst out laughing and pulled Rouru: "Tonight's bill is on me! My salary in the academy isn't low, let's spend it all tonight! From now on, I'll be a mercenary again!"

  Rouru was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Glin steadily and nodded vigorously.

  Just then, before they left the house, Xia Ya followed behind Rourou and heard Chubby mutter to himself: "Sigh... I hope this time, Crazy Dog won't be disappointed again."

  "Huh? What?" Xia Ya whispered back a sentence.

  Lu Ruo glanced at Xia Ya: "He's not applying for a transfer for the first time, every time he comes with joy and leaves in disappointment. Those guys upstairs won't easily agree to his transfer."

  After some thought, Lu Ru said: "However, this time he wants to go to the place where the garrison troops are stationed as a camp officer, maybe he will be approved. Damn, from general to camp officer, how many levels has he dropped?"

  Green's mood seemed particularly good, and the three of them rode out on horseback. The two old guys were familiar with the road, so they naturally took Xia Ya, this little bumpkin, south towards the city.

  These two men were obviously not gentlemen, and they directly led Xia Ya to a small street near the south city market. This small street was not wide, and Xia Ya seemed to have passed by the intersection during the day. He remembered that during the day, the road was very quiet, with few pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides were all closed. Occasionally, there would be some suspicious-looking men who quickly walked by with their heads down.

  But it's quite different when you come back at night!

  The narrow street was already decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with various bright lamps hanging on both sides, windowsills filled with fresh flowers, the streets were crowded with luxurious carriages coming and going, occasionally a few pedestrians passed by, also surrounded by attendants and friends.

  On both sides, those "shops" were all decorated in front of the gate, and every household had moved out flower pots and red pink carpets that were directly laid on the roadside. Carriages stopped at the door, and occasionally, joyful voices came from the open gates, but they were all feminine voices that made Xia Ya curious...

  The smell of wine, the scent of cosmetics and the fragrance of fresh flowers mixed in the air, shrouding this small street.

  Even if Xia Ya was a country bumpkin, although he had never been to such a place before, as soon as he saw this scene, he vaguely guessed a few points in his heart.

  Tears streaming down his face (Could it be... could it be... is this really the legendary place of vanity?)

  Two old men, obviously seasoned veterans, led Xia Ya through the small streets. They didn't stop at the bustling doorways along the way, but instead went straight to a place at the end of the street. There were no pedestrians at the entrance, making it seem quieter than other places, but there were several horse-drawn carriages parked on either side, and a few neatly dressed servants stood at the entrance. The smiles on their faces didn't seem as fawning as those in other households, but rather respectful and courteous without being overly humble or arrogant. "This place seems pretty quiet, why not go to one of the more lively places?" Tu Bao couldn't help but ask.

  Two old men turned back with a look of disdain: "You don't understand."

  The fat bastard added another sentence: "Virgin shut up!"

  As I walked into this place, the doorman immediately came up to greet me, but unlike the people at the doors of those other places who shouted out things like "Long time no see, sir!" or "Heavens, it's been ages since you last came!", he simply made a polite and straightforward gesture for me to enter, then bowed his head and led the way in front of me, without uttering a single unnecessary word.

  Stepping on a red carpet, the floor was also paved with petals, walking into the gate and entering the grand hall, pushing open a large copper door. Suddenly, pleasant piano sounds were heard.

  It was a circular hall, like an atrium, with a circle of semi-open rooms on the upper and lower floors around it. The doors to the rooms were open, but each had pulled down a beaded curtain, behind which figures flitted about indistinctly.

  In the center of the hall, on a stone pedestal about half the height of a person, was laid a large marble slab like crystal. On it sat a woman in white clothes, with golden hair cascading down her back like a waterfall. Her face was delicate and serene, her white dress as snow, her sleeves neat and tidy, sitting lazily on the soft couch, holding a pipa in her arms, her slender fingers deftly plucking the strings, the beautiful music floating in the hall.

  This woman didn't have the slightest hint of flirtatiousness, her eyes half-closed, her expression calm, yet she seemed to be intoxicated by the music. Where was there even a bit of the seductive atmosphere of this place?

  No noise, no shouting of wine guests, no enchanting smile of women... In this hall. Except for the sound of the piano, it is quiet to the point of being astonishing. Some flower petals were scattered on the ground, and occasionally one or two young servants dressed neatly and cleanly held fruit and various foods and fine wines, shuttling up and down the stairs.

  What kind of place is this... It's just like a concert hall.

  The woman's zither on the stage was beautiful, and as soon as I heard it, I felt like I had washed away all my worldly worries. Even Xia Ya, a rough and unrefined person, couldn't help but feel his body lighten up after listening to the music.

  Glen casually took out a gold coin and threw it to the leading servant, saying something in a low voice. The servant accepted the money without showing too much excitement on his face, still calm and composed, leading the three upstairs to the end of the corridor on the second floor, where he opened the bead curtain of an empty room and invited them in.

  There were several soft couches in the room, and three people sat down like half a circle. The servant smiled slightly and walked out, and before leaving, he carefully pulled down the bead curtain.

  Xia Ya lay here, and couldn't help but feel itchy, the small table beside the soft couch had already prepared a wine jug and cups, and also placed some exquisite fruits and snacks. The turtle looked at the two old men, wanting to speak but stopping, so he picked up the wine jug and poured a cup into the silver cup, but saw that the liquid was emerald green, and didn't know what it was.

  Two old men sat down, as if they were in a daze, not speaking, but only listening intently to the beautiful and elegant sound of the zither. It lasted for more than half a day. The zither finally came to an end with a faint sound, and outside came a crisp bell ringing.

  Ruru and Glin let out a sigh at the same time, looked at each other, and then Glin sighed: "Miss Avura's piano skills are getting more and more exquisite! The number one pianist in the Imperial Capital, the name is not in vain!"

  Rourou, who was originally a coarse-looking fatty, now had a hint of reverence on his face, and he said in a hushed tone: "Miss Afura's piano skills were passed down from the continent's number one pianist, Mu Daishi. I've heard that Mu Daishi's piano skills are truly divine, even the gods would shed tears upon hearing them... unfortunately, you and I won't have the chance to experience just how beautiful they are."

  Two old men in the army, suddenly became elegant and refined, the turtle next to them scratched their head impatiently and muttered: "Damn it, they're clearly knife-wielding killers, what's with this nonsense about music? I understand this, we have artists in our Wild Fire Town too, who play the flute in taverns. That little tune called 'Eighteen Touches'. You can listen to eight segments for just one copper coin!"

  Rouru and Glinn chuckled, and after exchanging a glance with Shaya, Glinn raised his hand to give three light pats.

  I don't know how this place was set up, but after Green clapped his hands, the door curtain opened and a gentle-looking woman walked in. The woman looked like she was around thirty years old, with a clear face and wearing a plain-colored long dress that didn't show any cleavage or even a hint of her breasts (Turtle was very disappointed). Her face was also clean and free of makeup, with only her hair simply tied back. After walking in, she smiled and said: "Gentlemen, please give your orders." As she spoke, her expression was completely without flirtation, so how could she be a woman who sells smiles in this kind of place?

  The women in the brothel, Tǔ Guī wasn't unfamiliar with them. On the way to the capital, officials would often send women to his room at midnight to curry favor with him. Although they were all mistaken for female ghosts and chased away by Tǔ Guī, afterwards he couldn't help but have some doubts about his own standards for women. In any case, the women in the brothel, in Tǔ Guī's eyes, should be those who exuded a fragrant scent, smiled before speaking, and had an enchanting expression.

  Who would have thought that this woman who walked in looked like she wasn't a courtesan, but rather a ceremonial lady-in-waiting from the palace.

  Grenn glanced at the woman, waved his hand and burst out laughing: "Alright, I'm not here for the first time, take a good look, this is the newly appointed Central Military Thirteen Battalion Ruler General, Viscount! Bring out all your precious things, hahaha!"

  As he spoke, Rourou suddenly put on a rich and arrogant look.

  The woman covered her mouth and smiled, lightly gazing at Rouru with a faint look: "So it's General Rouru, earlier in the Jianmang Hall, please don't blame me, I'll go make arrangements..."

  "Wait!" Rour stopped the woman and nodded at Xia Ya: "This is a young noble guest. You'd better be more careful with your words."

  He pretended to be mysterious, and the woman suddenly became solemn and respectful. She looked at Xia Ya with a glance, only to see that Xia Ya's expression was somewhat dissatisfied. Although his clothes were simple and not luxurious, he could sit together with a powerful general of the Imperial Central Army, so how could his status be ordinary?

  "These young nobles in the imperial capital, I've seen them before, but this young man is quite unfamiliar..."

  Thinking of this, he carefully bowed his head and made a slight bow before going out.

  Xia Ya felt bored and couldn't help but mutter: "Is this the great place you were talking about? I think the people here are even more boring than the nuns in the church..."

  Two old men burst out laughing, but Ruru frowned and said: "You young man are just a fledgling. You don't understand the subtlety here. Men, when it comes to their wives at home, all hope they are more charming. But when they sneak around outside, they always hope women are as chaste as saints - this is generally the mentality of men, and that's where the subtlety lies."

  Xia Ya was half-believing and half-doubting in her heart, but the two old men had put their minds at ease, picked up their wine cups and chatted casually for a while.

  Before long, a voice came from outside the door. The curtain was pulled open and the woman who had been there before walked in, followed by three girls with different expressions. Without waiting for instructions, they sat down beside the three men on the soft couches.

  The first girl had a fiery figure, her skin slightly darkened, and on her face, in addition to being beautiful, there was also a hint of wildness and arrogance, just like a wild horse. She wore a suit, but revealed her slender waist outside, with curly brown hair, standing there with her chin slightly raised. She immediately sat down beside Glin. The girl next to the fat man, however, was a delicate and lovely woman, with enchanting eyebrows and eyes.

  As for the girl beside Xia Ya, she was indeed the most eye-catching among the three.

  A head of light golden hair, a white long gown. The appearance is surprisingly similar to the woman who played the piano in the hall just now, with a gentle and elegant face, only a hint of a smile on her lips, a thin belt at the waist of the long gown, outlining a slender waist that makes people's hearts move, and under the hem of the long gown, a pair of snow-white bare feet, without shoes or socks, standing on the soft carpet, even whiter to the point of dazzling.

  Fatso and Gelin burst into applause at first sight, Fatso immediately laughed: "As expected! This young man is good, we old guys are no longer loved! Haha! The best goods were occupied by this kid!"

  After a smile, the woman who led the way quickly retreated, leaving three men and three women in the room.

  The two old men soon let go of their reserve, lounging lazily on the soft couch, while the girls beside them carefully attended to their needs, offering cups and pouring wine, snuggling into their arms.

  Xia Ya had never seen such a grand display before and couldn't help but feel a little flustered. However, the woman in white beside him had a hint of a smile in her eyes as she looked at Xia Ya and softly asked, "Sir, would you like to drink?"

  "Uh... I won't drink."

  "Does the teacher eat fruit?"

  "Uh... I'm not eating."

  "Sir, you enjoy music? I can also play the harp. People here call me Little Aphra."

  "Huh?", Xia Ya stared: "Can you play 'Eighteen Touches'?"

  Pffft! The fat guy and Glin next to him spat out wine from their mouths upon hearing this.

  The woman in white beside Xia Ya looked a bit embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "I won't..."

  Xia Ya thought for a moment: "Then... can you do magic tricks? The kind where you pull rabbits out of hats. Can you?"

  "I won't."

  "Hmm... a fire blower? The kind that shouts 'cheers' with a mouthful of liquor, holds a torch and blows air to spout flames?"

  "I won't."

  "That... sword swallowing? I've seen people perform it, holding a sword and inserting it into their mouth! Can they insert it all the way to the hilt?"

  The woman in white was almost in tears: "......I won't."

  Rour and Green, who were beside him, had laughed so hard that they rolled off the couch, with Fatso rolling all over the floor, choking on a mouthful of wine, coughing until his face was red.

  The woman in white clothes looked unwell and finally didn't dare to let Xia Ya ask any more questions - for fear that this young, eccentric guest would continue asking and even mention "the big stone on the chest". She took the wine cup and brought it to Xia Ya's mouth, then smiled with narrowed eyes: "Since that's the case, I'll serve you wine instead. I also know some massage techniques..."

  As he spoke, the tortoise felt a gentle small hand on the back of his neck, with slender and soft fingers, skillfully pressing and pinching twice at the base of his neck, and his heart skipped a beat, unable to say anything, involuntarily swallowing the wine in the cup beside him.

  That white-clothed girl deliberately tried to please him, her body leaning against Xia Ya's side, softly and intimately sticking close to Xia Ya. The toad in his heart was stirred, and he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of unease.

  It's really like seeing a ghost...

  From Tuo's perspective, the girl's appearance was indeed "ugly", completely not meeting the old man's own standard of "big breasts, big buttocks and a sturdy waist". But this "ugly woman" surprisingly came over with deliberate gentleness, her slender small hands touching his body, her nose filled with the subtle fragrance from the girl's body, that soft and boneless body clinging to his...

  Xia Ya's face turned red with excitement, although she felt a bit uneasy, her heart was still racing wildly.

  This stirring came at an especially inopportune time. Yet it seemed so natural...

  The tortoise didn't know that this was the normal reaction of all men under the sky, regardless of their aesthetic standards. However, this masculine nature, being attracted to females, is human instinct and doesn't need to be taught by anyone.

  Gradually, Xia Ya suddenly made a strange discovery. In his own eyes, the white-clothed girl beside him was getting more and more pleasing to the eye, and not ugly at all.

  The soft and delicate little hand and the leaning body made a surge of indescribable feelings in Tuo's heart.

  For a moment, his heart was free from worries and complexities.

  Ugly? Or not ugly?

  Why did you change your mind?

  Rour and Glin, who were sitting next to each other, had both started drinking on their own, chatting casually about their past experiences in the military. As they talked, they became more and more cheerful, with Rour even unbuttoning his shirt and sweating profusely. Glin's eyes grew brighter as he drank, and eventually, the two of them ignored the girls beside them and laughed loudly, saying who-knows-what. Suddenly, Fatty slammed his hand on the table: "Nonsense! You say my swordsmanship is inferior to yours? Let's have a contest!"

  Glein shook his head: "You're a good strategist, but your martial skills are too poor. The Duke said it himself back then - you'd make a fine staff officer, but not a field commander."

  Lu Ru was unwilling, suddenly jumped up: "Let's go! Let's go out and try! I'll beat you until you beg for mercy!"

  Ge You also came up with a drink, haha laughed: "Good! It's been a long time since we fought, let's see if this rabbit is anxious and will bite people."

  The two of them were emotionally intense, and they actually left Xia Ya behind without asking, saying they would leave immediately, and ran out in big strides. The two maids who served them had tears and smiles on their faces. They could only hurry to catch up with them.

  Xia Ya was in a daze, his mind half confused, as he watched the two leave. He was about to get up when he felt the small hand beside him slide from his shoulder onto his chest. The soft fingers brushed against his pectoral muscles, and this feeling suddenly made Xia Ya's head spin, as if hot blood had rushed to his head, leaving him dry-mouthed and tongue-tied, and he forgot to follow them out to find the two old men.

  The woman in white clothes was very experienced, and she felt Xia Ya's heartbeat accelerating and her breathing becoming urgent. She smiled secretly in her heart. However, she picked up the wine jug and came over. Before she even reached Xia Ya's mouth, Xia Ya couldn't bear the dryness of her throat anymore, so she grabbed it from her hand and gulped down the wine with a gurgling sound.

  A pot of wine fell into his belly, but it was spoiled!

  This green liquor is unknown what it's made of, after entering the mouth, it slides into the abdomen like a fire line, and suddenly it's like igniting a fire in the belly!

  Xia Ya was a bit dazed, and felt an intense heat in his body. He crawled over to the table where Rour and Glin were sitting, grabbed the wine jug, and gulped it down. Three jugs of wine later, not only did the fire in his belly not subside, but it instead grew even more intense!

  Xia Ya was already somewhat incoherent at this point. Although he had a large capacity for liquor, the wine here was of a different caliber.

  This liquor is called "Hero's Blood", the finest and most potent of spirits, with a bold and fierce nature. It suits the taste of rugged military men like Ruhr and Grien. The liquor in this place has been mixed with special spices and medicinal herbs that can stir up one's inner desires and passions. After drinking it, there are also a few parts per million of hallucinogenic components. Combined with the alcohol, they will spread out together, and Xia Ya won't be able to resist.

  Tu Bao only felt a confusion in his mind, but the wine he had drunk all his life was the best today, hot and fierce! He drank smoothly, walked around the room for a while, saw a wine barrel placed on the side, hugged it with both arms, held it over his head, gurgled and poured a few more mouthfuls, then laughed loudly: "Good! Good wine! Enough energy!!" With drunken eyes, he looked at the white-clothed woman in the room, but suddenly felt that she was irresistible, where was there still half a bit of ugliness?!

  Turtle Ha ha laughed and suddenly threw away the wine barrel, walked over with big strides, sat down on the soft couch, and fell backwards.

  The white-clad girl had a hint of triumph in her eyes, leaned over and whispered: "Sir... isn't it time to rest?"

  Xia Ya's face was flushed, and her hot blood rushed to her head. Dizzy and disoriented: "Hmmm... rest..."

  The girl pointed to a secret side door at the back of the room: "Let me help you in..."

  Xia Ya's eyes were blurry from intoxication, he struggled to open his eyes and took a look, but didn't say anything. He stumbled as he got up, and the girl beside him held onto him, then pulled him along, staggering as they went inside.

  The side door opened, revealing a dimly lit secret corridor. The air was filled with the sweet scent of incense. Walking to the end, another door swung open, leading to a room. There were no decorations, only a single item in the middle.

  "This... Your Highness, don't listen anymore..."

  Chip cried with a gloomy face, and in his heart he wished he could slap himself twice.

  "Shut up!"

  Poor Edlin stuck to the wall, holding a wine glass upside down against the wall, her ear pressed against the bottom of the cup, listening intently with a tense face.

  Chip's heart was as tense as it could get, he glanced at the door with the beaded curtain and anxiously whispered: "Your Highness, this is really not a place you should come to! If someone discovers your identity, I'll be held responsible, and I'm afraid I'll have to offer my neck in apology to the Emperor..."

  The poor insect stuck to the cup and carefully eavesdropped on the movements next door, the more he listened, the uglier his face became, suddenly stamping his foot: "Ah! No sound! This damn bastard! He, he, he won't really mess around, will he......"

  Chip couldn't help but step forward, standing behind the poor insect and urging, "Your Highness, we must hurry back... If you return too late to the imperial palace, I'll be held responsible."

  He paused for a moment and added: "I have accepted your plea today, bringing you out secretly is already against the imperial edict, you..."

  The poor insect had its ears stuck tightly on the cup. Its face grew darker and darker, but Chip's words didn't get in at all.

  There's only one thought in my mind: It's silent! It's really silent! This damn turtle. He, he won't actually go in and do that filthy thing, will he!! Bastard! This bastard!

  Her face turned bright red, she listened for a while and really had no sound, angrily throwing the cup away, then turning around and shouting: "Uncle Chip! What did you just say?"

  "I said... We have to get out of here quickly! I really don't understand why you had to follow that kid and come here, we..."

  The poor worm thought for a moment, feeling both annoyed and anxious. He glanced at Chip, then suddenly said, "Well...alright, let's go!"

  Chip let out a sigh of relief: "That's it! We can leave now. Maybe we can sneak back before the Imperial Reserve finds us, hmm..."

  The poor worm's eyes rolled around and he said in a low voice, "It's not very convenient for me to swagger out of the main gate like this. What if I'm recognized? There are many people in the Imperial City who know me, Uncle Chip."

  Chirp rolled his eyes and thought: Now you mention this, but earlier when following those three guys in, why didn't you think of these things?

  However, he didn't dare to retort and said in a low voice: "Well... let's do it this way. You wait for a moment first. I'll go tell someone to move the carriage to the back door, then you can get on from there directly, so as not to be recognized."

  The poor insect smiled slightly: "This is for the best."

  Chip took two steps and suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, furrowed his brow and said: "Your Highness, you can stay here. Can't go out! What if someone recognizes you..."

  "Don't worry about it." The poor guy pretended to be calm, sighed and said: "I was just curious about this place, but now it seems there's nothing interesting after all."

  Chippy glanced at Poor Bug and hesitated for a moment, thinking: I'll be back soon, nothing will go wrong.

  After he walked out, the poor worm stood at the door and listened for a while, hearing Chip go far away. Then, a furious anger surged up on her face. She didn't know where this anger in her heart came from, but she felt that if the fire in her heart couldn't be vented at this moment, she might really be suffocated to death.

  That day, I saw Xia Ya in the church and begged Chip to find out where he lived. Today, I finally begged Chip to take me out. Uncle Chip has seen me grow up and couldn't bear my begging, so he softened his heart and agreed for a moment.

  But having taken such a great risk, running to Shaya's residence, originally only wanted to sneak a peek at him. But didn't think that this guy, actually... actually, was brought to this kind of place by Ruru and the others!!

  The anger in this poor worm's heart is truly greater than anything else. In a fit of rage, however, he forgot to ask himself why he was angry in the first place.

  It's just a faint feeling in my heart, I took such a great risk to sneak a peek at Xia Ya, but this bastard actually came to this kind of place to fool around, it's really too unfair to myself!

  The poor worm quickly ran out of the door, and there was no one in the corridor. She swiftly flashed into the adjacent room. The room was messy with wine bottles and things thrown all over the floor, but there was no one. The poor worm's heart was anxious, and finally saw the unobtrusive side door in the room, gritted her teeth, and slipped in with a cat waist.

  In that long secret corridor, a door at the end was half closed. The poor insect walked to the doorway and took a look inside, suddenly feeling its anger surge up!

  In the room, Xia Ya was sprawled on the bed, muttering something indistinctly. His shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his sturdy muscles. The white-clad girl sat beside him, a charming smile on her face, her small hands gently caressing his chest, tracing over his muscles and making his heart beat faster. The air in the room was filled with an intoxicating fragrance that made Xia Ya's head spin dizzily.

  "Sir..."

  The girl in white called out softly twice, Xia Ya responded vaguely, and the girl smiled with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

  "Hmph, so it's just a young one." The white-clothed girl shook her head and stood up, looking at Xia Ya. She thought to herself: As instructed above, this noble guest is not someone to be trifled with, I must make sure to enthrall him. It seems that this task won't be difficult after all.

  She smiled slightly, slipped out of bed, walked to the door, and was about to close it when she suddenly froze!

  At the door, Adeline gritted her teeth and her eyes flashed like an angry tigress.

  "Ah! Who are you......"

  "Get out of the way!" The poor insect flew up, pushed the girl to the ground with one hand, and kicked her head with one foot. Although she was a bit weaker in martial arts, after all, she was a member of the royal family, who had learned some horse riding and sword fighting skills since childhood, which was not something that girls from this place could compare to?

  Kicked dizzy this girl, poor worm angry can't stop, walked to the bedside in big strides, looking at the bed, the clothes were unbuttoned, she was not shy, on the wild fire field, this turtle's upper body had seen countless times.

  I'm suddenly overcome with a surge of indescribable resentment and grievance, and I slap the toad's face hard, shouting: "You bastard! I thought you were different, but it turns out that even a man like you would end up in a place like this!"

  She was annoyed, but Tu Bao was confused at this moment and couldn't hear her words clearly.

  Adeline pushed the toad twice, and the toad muttered in its mouth. Adeline was furious and slapped it again with her backhand. The toad was dizzy and only felt someone slapping its face. It finally half-opened its eyes, but at this moment, it was dizzy and saw a woman standing in front of the bed, but the outline became blurred...

  He felt someone pummeling and pounding on him, but in his daze, he thought it was just a massage, and mumbled: "Harder, too light, too light..."

  Adeline was so angry that she almost vomited blood, stomping her foot and turning to go find water to splash this idiot awake. But just as she turned around, the turtle on the bed suddenly grabbed Adeline's wrist and gave a gentle tug. The poor thing couldn't resist the turtle's strange strength, and fell onto the turtle's body. The hard and robust physique knocked the wind out of Adeline, who let out a pained cry.

  The toad was reeking of wine, but as soon as he fell into the toad's arms, the poor insect felt that familiar smell and suddenly his heart was in a mess. For a moment, it seemed like he had even forgotten how to get angry, and all he could think was that this guy was so endearing.

  Turtleback felt the person in his arms, thinking it was just that white-clothed girl, but at this moment, he felt that the soft and fragrant body seemed even more enticing than before.

  A surge of fire raged in his heart, and his mind was in a state of utter chaos. He felt that if he didn't find an outlet for the flames burning within him, he would be consumed alive. Subconsciously, he suddenly flipped over, pinning the girl beneath him. A large hand wildly reached out, not caring about anything else, and began to grope around everywhere.

  Adeline let out a sudden scream, her heart filled with terror. She struggled desperately, but the toad's strength only grew greater. She pounded and shouted wildly, but the toad didn't seem to hear her at all?

  This kind of thing, a man doesn't need to be taught! Under instinct, Xia Ya only felt his body burning hot, while the soft and fragrant body in his arms could relieve his heat, he just felt that layer of clothing was too much trouble. His heart was in chaos, his fingers pulled, and with a ripping sound, amidst the poor insect's sharp cry, the clothes were torn apart.

  In the midst of instinct, the man's large hand grasped Edeline's full chest, and Edeline was originally still struggling. But in an instant, her heart suddenly softened, and her heartbeat almost stopped. She felt confused and bewildered, and for a moment, she even forgot to struggle and shout.

  When she came to, her clothes had almost been torn off by the turtle, and more than half of her body was exposed like a small white sheep under the turtle. Ji woke up and let out a sharp cry. But as soon as the cry left her mouth, Xia Ya's lips were pressed against hers, instantly muffling her scream.

  "Hmm..."

  Chip came downstairs, bypassed the hall and arrived at the backyard. He was worried about the situation in the palace and thought he should go quickly and return soon. However, as soon as he entered the backyard, he heard laughter coming from inside, and then saw two figures rolling around on the ground.

  In the midst of Chip's astonishment, he suddenly saw one of them burst out a cluster of silver flames in his hand!

  "What a powerful aura!!!!" Chirp was shocked! That was clearly a symbol of a high-ranking warrior's power!!

  This man punched out, the silver fighting spirit light burst open, instantly smashing a wall. Another person laughed and jumped away: "Fatty, you're drunk! Your aim is too bad!"

  As he spoke, his arms shook and a faint golden light burst out from his entire body!

  The extent of his aura was even stronger than that person's by several degrees!

  This astonishing scene was not something trivial, he took a closer look and finally understood that it was actually Rurul and Grin fighting each other. These two were both famous figures in the Imperial Capital, how could Chip not know them? Only then did he feel relieved.

  It was just two masters fighting, Chip thought to sneak past from the backyard, but as soon as he took a step, he heard Green hum: "Who is this person, dare to secretly peek at Laozi's fight!"

  Chip was shocked and saw Green rushing over, with a faint golden aura flashing by, heavily hitting his chest!

  A high-ranking warrior has made his move. How could Chip dare to be slow? If he didn't dodge, this blow would have been enough to severely injure him and make him cough up blood!

  He could only take a deep breath, and with a loud whoosh, the two of them stumbled back, their eyes flashing open. "Good guy!" Green cursed, "Actually a master! Daring to sneak a peek at Laozi's fight, must be up to no good!"

  The fat guy next to him also rushed up: "Haha! Think you can leave? Not that easy!"

  In the darkness, two drunks surrounded Chip. Chip flew quickly and said in a low voice: "Let go! General Rool, Green! I am Chip!!"

  "What's with the 'chip'?! What chip?! Let's settle this first!" Rour shouted, swinging his fist and pouncing over.

  As the two men became heavily intoxicated, they entwined in a unclear manner. However, being high-ranking warriors, their abilities did not diminish despite their deep intoxication. Chi Pu's heart was filled with distress as he could only barely resist and dodge, but soon found himself trapped in a bitter struggle...

  He was anxious in his heart, these two guys were very strong, and if he was punched a few times, he would probably be seriously injured.

  It's just... Your Highness! Your Highness is still waiting for you upstairs...

  Upstairs in the secret room, Adeline could no longer hear Chip's anxious voice. At this moment, the poor worm was at a loss, and Shia, that bastard, had covered her mouth with one hand, while the other hand roamed over Adeline's body. Adeline felt both ashamed and angry, struggling for a few moments, but only provoking the turtle's ferocity instead. Later, when her mouth was also covered, she couldn't even cry out. Gradually, the familiar scent of the turtle wafted into her nostrils, and the poor worm felt her body becoming softer and softer, with less and less strength to struggle...

  "No, Xia Ya... Xia... uh... no way... ah... it hurts... so painful... no... damn it, damn it!!!"

  At last, Adeline was suddenly electrified all over, her body shook, and her arms involuntarily changed from resisting to embracing Xia Ya's neck. Her pretty face was full of pain, a tear fell from the corner of her eye, and the turtle on her back breathed rapidly. Adeline felt like she was being crushed under a crazy wave, her mind was drunk, and her cries gradually turned into low moans.

  Suddenly, a surge of tenderness welled up in her heart. Mixed with that surge of anger, amidst this love-hate entanglement. Adeline suddenly opened her mouth and took a fierce bite on Xia Ya's shoulder...
