108: Chapter 108 The... lecher

Early in the morning, the Dining Hall of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion was steaming with heat.

Chen Shanzhi sat at the table, a white bun in his hand, but his gaze kept drifting toward Chen Rou beside him.

About what happened last night...

The slippery, cloud-like sensation seemed to still linger in his palms even now.

"Shan'er, why are you just staring at the bun? Is the dough too thick for your liking?"

Chen Rou picked up some pickled vegetables with her chopsticks and placed them in Chen Shanzhi's bowl.

Her expression was normal and her tone gentle, as if nothing had happened.

Today, she wore a pale green long dress with the collar fastened tightly, appearing even more conservative than usual.

But Chen Shanzhi felt that the faint fragrance emanating from her was even stronger than usual.

"No... I'm not complaining. The buns are great—big and white."

Chen Shanzhi replied absentmindedly and took a big bite.

Only after biting did he realize his words were a bit ambiguous.

He stole a glance at Chen Rou and saw her gracefully sipping her porridge.

A faint smile played at the corners of her eyes and brows, seemingly not taking his words the wrong way at all.

Chen Shanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed his aunt really didn't mind.

After finishing breakfast, Chen Shanzhi wiped his mouth and stood up to take his leave.

"Aunt, I have plans with some friends today. I'm going out for a bit."

Chen Rou set down her porridge bowl, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and slightly raised her beautiful eyes.

"Come back early. I'll have the cook stew some mutton for you tonight."

"Okay." Chen Shanzhi waved his hand and strode out of the Dining Hall.

The carriage traveled along the bluestone road and soon came to a steady stop in front of the Yihong Pavilion.

Just as Chen Shanzhi stepped into the hall, the madam approached him with a swaying gait.

"Oh, my Heir Apparent!

You've finally remembered our Miss Youyou!"

The powder on the madam's face flaked off as she smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Miss Youyou gave orders early this morning: if the Heir Apparent comes, show him straight to the Heaven No. 1 Room.

She has been waiting for you for quite a while."

Chen Shanzhi raised an eyebrow.

She had people waiting downstairs in advance?

That little enchantress Jiang Yingrao must have something urgent.

He didn't waste any time and headed upstairs, familiar with the way.

*Creak—*

Pushing open the door to the Heaven No. 1 Room, an extremely elegant and exotic fragrance wafted toward him.

Inside the room, a screen was half-drawn.

Jiang Yingrao, dressed in an off-the-shoulder fiery red dress, rested her chin on one hand while looking out the window.

Her waterfall-like black hair wasn't tied up, cascading loosely over her smooth shoulders.

The neckline of her red dress was cut very low, revealing her exquisite collarbones.

Further down... were curves that would make any man's nose bleed with just one glance.

Beneath the red skirt, two long, ivory-white legs were crossed.

Most eye-catching were her delicate little feet.

Bare of shoes or socks, her ten translucent toes curled slightly, appearing and disappearing beneath the red dress.

Hearing the door open, Jiang Yingrao's slender body trembled slightly as she abruptly turned her head.

The moment she saw it was Chen Shanzhi, the anxiety in her eyes vanished instantly.

But immediately after, her face changed like a mask; her expression soured, and her gaze turned icy.

"Oh, I was wondering who it was. So it's the Great Heir Apparent Chen."

Jiang Yingrao parted her red lips, her voice sultry yet tinged with jealousy: "Oh, I was wondering who it was. So it's the Heir Apparent.

What a rare guest! What brings the Heir Apparent to my place today?"

Chen Shanzhi stood there, stroking his chin.

This expression, this tone... it was very familiar.

Why did it feel like she was being jealous?

Although he didn't know why, when a girl says such things, she usually just wants to be coaxed.

Chen Shanzhi chuckled. "Who said that? I've missed Courtesan Alias dearly these past few days.

See? As soon as I got some time off, I came straight to Miss Youyou."

With a thick-skinned grin, Chen Shanzhi walked over and tried to sit beside her.

"Get lost."

Jiang Yingrao snorted coldly.

Just as Chen Shanzhi's backside was about to touch the couch, her long leg, hidden under the red dress, suddenly shot up.

*Thud.*

Her delicate, translucent foot pressed directly against Chen Shanzhi's chest.

Jiang Yingrao sneered, her seductive fox-like eyes fixed on Chen Shanzhi. "I heard that the Four Seas Academy had a reform in its martial arts curriculum, and now students can enter and leave the academy freely.

I also heard that the Heir Apparent teamed up with several beauties and has been having a grand old time every day.

I suppose you've long since forgotten this lowly courtesan."

As she spoke, her fair sole pressed lightly against Chen Shanzhi's chest.

Although she hadn't activated her True Essence, the warmth felt through his clothes made Chen Shanzhi's heart stir.

Hearing her words, Chen Shanzhi was taken aback. He hadn't expected Jiang Yingrao to be so well-informed.

It seemed that in the game, some of the White Lotus Sect's secret influences weren't shown to the players.

But that was just a passing thought. Seeing her clearly dressed up after hearing her words...

...he knew this little enchantress was just being dramatic again.

You can't always indulge this kind of behavior.

Chen Shanzhi reached out and grabbed her foot.

Jiang Yingrao's body stiffened slightly, her beautiful eyes narrowing as she instinctively tried to pull back.

She had only intended to vent some of her frustration.

She hadn't expected Chen Shanzhi to be so bold.

Before she could react, Chen Shanzhi lifted his hand.

Then, for some reason, Jiang Yingrao's face suddenly flushed red. She gritted her teeth and said, "Chen Shanzhi, let go of me! You rogue..."

"A rogue? Since you've said so, wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't do something a rogue would do?"

Chen Shanzhi followed through, lowering his head slightly.

...

Jiang Yingrao felt as if she had been hit by the Ten-Fragrance Tendon-Weakening Powder; her entire body felt weak.

The True Essence in her Twelve Mysterious Apertures became somewhat chaotic at this moment.

"You... you bastard!"

Jiang Yingrao was overwhelmed with shame and anger. Her face was flushed as she prepared to curse Chen Shanzhi.

But she saw Chen Shanzhi use the Spirit Sparrow Steps to instantly appear before her.

Before Jiang Yingrao could react, Chen Shanzhi pulled her directly into his embrace.

Then he lowered his head and kissed those bright red lips.

Jiang Yingrao pushed against Chen Shanzhi's chest with her hands, but he didn't budge an inch.

She was a bit angry and was about to circulate the True Essence in her body.

But then, a stream of True Essence mixed with the aura of the Yang Parasite passed from Chen Shanzhi's mouth into hers.

Instantly, Jiang Yingrao's mind went blank. Her whole body trembled, and she went limp.

Her clenched teeth were easily pried open.

Her entire mouth was occupied by Chen Shanzhi.

"Mmh... you... you... mmh... scoun... drel."

Jiang Yingrao's expression was dazed as she mumbled incoherent words through her muffled voice.
