66: Exchange the deposit! Copy a poem for Pei Shuyun!

Li Shengyuan couldn't help but look at Pei Shuyun with a stunned expression. Just one poem in exchange for legitimate evidence to bring down Prince Yan, what's the difference between this and getting it for free? He frowned slightly and asked, "Is that it?"

He knew that most things given for free were usually the most expensive!

It seemed simple, but the true intentions were hidden in the dark.

Isn't that how honey traps work?

They give it to you for free, then extort a hefty sum; if you don't pay, they accuse you of rape…

This was much more expensive than paying beforehand!

However, he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, realizing how terrifying women with divided hearts and minds could be!

Pei Shuyun, however, smiled and nodded, "To be personally gifted a poem by Lord Li is a great honor, something others can't even beg for. When Lord Li reaches the pinnacle of the world, a poem tailor-made for me will be priceless!"

"Moreover, my standards are very high; ordinary poems won't satisfy me! At least… the poems Lord Li recited before won't do!"

Li Shengyuan looked at Pei Shuyun calmly. Although she was trying her best to elevate the value of her poem, her true intention was obvious.

It was nothing more than wanting to use his hand to deal with Prince Yan, Muyun Xiao.

This made Li Shengyuan even more curious about the secret between her and Mu Yunxiao. What was the reason that made her so eager to kill Prince Yan!

However, it was just a poem, and Li Shengyuan had as many as he wanted!

Then he laughed and said, "You also know my poems are very expensive, so what if the information you provide isn't worth my poem? Wouldn't that mean you're getting a free ride from me?"

"So, before I recite the poem, shouldn't you also provide some deposit as a token of sincerity!"

Pei Shuyun gritted her teeth upon hearing this, secretly cursing how such an annoying man could exist!

She finally understood a bit of how her nominal husband felt, gritting his teeth in anger because of him.

Then she blinked her charming eyes and smiled, "Since it's an exchange for a deposit, shouldn't Lord Li also recite a poem that satisfies me? If Lord Li just recites a random poem to appease me in the end, wouldn't I be getting used by you for free?"

Hiss…

Watching the noble and elegant Yan Consort display such a charming and seductive posture, he couldn't help but gasp.

What was the difference between this and a noble lady turning into a wanton woman?!

However, he remained calm on the surface, nodding and smiling wickedly, "Alright, but the chips Wangfei offers had better be worthy of my poem, otherwise you'll regret coming to see me tonight!"

"Regret? Why would I regret, and how would I regret?" Pei Shuyun blinked her charming big eyes, looking at Li Shengyuan with an innocent expression.

Li Shengyuan rolled his eyes and didn't reply. He had a preliminary understanding of Yan Consort's seductive abilities.

When this woman exerted herself, every gesture exuded endless charm; this was innate, something ordinary people couldn't learn!

Then Li Shengyuan fell into thought, beginning to search for poems he had read in his previous life on Earth.

With his current soul strength, as long as he had read it once, he could remember it deeply in his mind.

And there were simply too many poems praising beautiful women!

Moreover, he already had a very good choice.

However, he couldn't just blurt it out. If he said a poem casually, wouldn't it make it seem cheap?

Pei Shuyun stood quietly by his side, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation fixed on Li Shengyuan, drifting with his movements.

Although Li Shengyuan's poetic talent had only briefly appeared when he was young, Pei Shuyun, who was well-read, had heard them all. At that time, she was only eighteen years old.

At that time, she was not yet Yan Consort, but a tender young girl, not like the mature, alluring woman she had become now…

At that time, she wondered what kind of child could write such high-spirited and unrestrained lines as "Long winds will break the waves someday, I'll set my cloud-white sail and cross the sea"!

For over a decade, she had been curious about the name Li Shengyuan.

She had originally intended to go to the capital to investigate once this child grew up, but unexpectedly, due to various changes, she became Yan Consort.

Since then, let alone going to the capital, she rarely even left Yanwang City.

It was precisely because of the curiosity about Li Shengyuan that had been suppressed for over a decade that she unhesitatingly agreed when she heard Li Shengyuan invite her to dance.

And even allowed this brat to take liberties and grope her during the dance.

Otherwise, no matter how much she hated and disliked Prince Yan, she would not compromise her purity to disgust Mu Yunxiao!

Moreover, when she first met Li Shengyuan in Prince Yans Mansion, his tall and robust figure, handsome face, confident demeanor, coupled with his high spirits above Prince Yans Mansion, finally satisfied Pei Shuyun's decade-long fantasy about the name Li Shengyuan.

All in all, he made her very satisfied!

Now, Li Shengyuan was going to tailor a poem for her, which made her feel a strange excitement deep down, though her expression remained calm on the surface.

If Li Shengyuan knew that a small act of showing off when he was a child made such a beautiful woman remember him for so long, and now it had become a weapon to deal with Prince Yan, he would surely bow down to Li Bai, the great immortal poet…

He even wanted to use the great immortal poet's poem to win the beauty's favor now.

Pei Shuyun saw that Li Shengyuan had been silent for a long time, and waiting made her a little impatient. She wanted to urge him but was afraid Li Shengyuan would see through her thoughts.

So she curled her lips in disdain, mocking and ridiculing, "Lord Li has been thinking for so long, could it be that he has truly run out of talent and can't compose a good poem?"

"If it really doesn't work, I can lower my standards a bit, as long as it's passable…"

"Who are you looking down on!" Li Shengyuan rolled his eyes repeatedly. You can look down on me for composing poetry, but you can't look down on Poet Immortal Li!

"I'm just building up the mood, alright? I can't explain it clearly to someone as uncultured as you! Just don't cry and beg me later!"

Li Shengyuan's mouth was also merciless, immediately making Pei Shuyun very angry. Her chest, no less impressive than Shen Xinrong's, trembled with anger as she gritted her teeth.

How dare he say that she, who had been well-read since childhood, had no culture?!

She thought, even with the filter of youth, if this brat can't compose a good poem later, just wait and see…

I'll talk about it later.

"So, have you built up the mood now?" Pei Shuyun asked expressionlessly.

Li Shengyuan smiled without speaking, instead leaning closer to Pei Shuyun, staring intently at her mature and charming face, even reaching out a hand to gently caress her fair cheek.

Feeling the warmth of Li Shengyuan's large hand, Pei Shuyun's voluptuous body trembled instantly, her body temperature rapidly rising, her face gradually turning red, and even her breathing became a little hurried.

But she just didn't back away from Li Shengyuan…

She even subtly twisted her cheek slightly, enjoying Li Shengyuan's gentle caress.

And just as she was enjoying this peaceful moment, Li Shengyuan's voice came to her ears, and just a few words made her body tremble violently.

"Clouds want… clothes…"

Her gaze became hazy with Li Shengyuan's poem, gradually becoming enchanted by it.

"Flowers want faces…"
