28: Li Xinxue dancing gracefully

Li Xinxue lifted her red lips slightly and put on the gauze dress. The fabric was as light as nothing, and the semi-transparent coverage only added a hint of temptation.

"Husband."

She called out softly, her lotus steps moving lightly as she pressed against his chest, drawing circles with her fingertips. Her voice was so sweet it could drip honey.

"Tonight, you must cherish me well."

Cao Bu's body stiffened, his heart struggling violently.

Staying behind carried the risk of exposure.

Not staying behind left him unwilling.

"Husband, before that, let me dance a dance to liven things up for you, okay?"

Before the words fell, Li Xinxue had already begun to dance gracefully.

The gauze dress fluttered with her movements, her long jade legs appearing and disappearing, her waist as soft as if it had no bones. Every glance back, every spin, carried a fatal temptation.

Cao Bu could finally hold back no longer, suddenly scooping her up by the waist!

"The dance is over, now it's time for serious business!"

This woman was simply more seductive than Su Li.

Today, he had to teach this flirtatious woman a lesson.

"Ah!"

Li Xinxue let out a low cry, and before she could react, she was thrown onto the soft brocade quilt.

The gauze dress on her body was slightly disheveled, and her long black hair spread out across the bed.

Her lips were slightly parted, and her eyes shimmered with a moist luster.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host, inheritance level increased by 2%, obtained 2 lucky draw chances.】

A quarter of an hour later.

A hint of regret flashed in Cao Bu's eyes.

He had specifically studied Gu Yun's strength, and it was only about a quarter of an hour.

If he weren't afraid of being exposed, with his own capital, he could fight at least three hundred more rounds.

"Husband."

Li Xinxue's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes still held a lingering aftertaste.

Cao Bu gently stroked her hair, glanced outside, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He had to find a way to slip away quickly; staying any longer would sooner or later lead to exposure.

Just at this moment.

A Maidservant's report came from outside the door: "Young Lord, Young Mistress, the Second Mistress has sent someone to find you."

Cao Bu's eyes lit up.

Just when he was sleepy, someone brought a pillow!

He immediately said to Li Xinxue beside him: "You rest first, I'll go see what's going on."

"Shall I go with you?" Li Xinxue made a move to get up.

Cao Bu's heart skipped a beat. This was the perfect opportunity to escape, and he couldn't miss it.

He quickly held her down: "We just finished, you rest well, I'll be back in a flash."

Seeing him insist, Li Xinxue didn't force it, saying softly: "Then you must return quickly."

Cao Bu gently kissed her forehead, quickly dressed, and pushed the door open to leave.

Looking at the closed door, Li Xinxue stroked her slightly hot cheeks, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

"Strange, it was clearly still just a quarter of an hour, but why was my husband today even more... than before?"

Her gaze swept across the semi-transparent red gauze dress by the bed, and she suddenly realized.

"So it was because of this dress?"

She whispered to herself, her fingertips gently rubbing the thin fabric: "I've worn similar gauze dresses before, but he was never like this today... Could it be because of this red color?"

Thinking of this, her lips curled up, and she carefully folded and put away the gauze dress.

She had already made up her mind.

She would wear this one again next time!

Inside the main hall of Xiang Xiao Courtyard.

Cao Bu stood up and smiled: "Aunt Bai, let me see you out."

The Maidservant named Aunt Bai quickly waved her hand: "Young Lord, that won't do, this old servant can go by herself."

"It's fine, I just happen to need some fresh air," Cao Bu insisted.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Aunt Bai had to let him see her out.

Arriving outside the courtyard, Cao Bu watched Aunt Bai leave.

After that figure completely disappeared from sight, he immediately looked left and right. Just as he was about to take the opportunity to slip away, his peripheral vision caught Gu Yun walking over from a distance.

Cao Bu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly flashed behind a green stone.

Seeing that Gu Yun was about to enter the courtyard, he thought quickly and transformed into the appearance of Aunt Bai.

"Young Lord." Cao Bu stepped forward a few steps and took the initiative to greet him.

Hearing the voice, Gu Yun turned around, looking at Cao Bu with confusion.

He hadn't sensed a trace of aura when the other party appeared.

After thinking about it, he didn't dwell on it too much.

This Aunt Bai was a Realm Sovereign and part of Second Mistress Leng Yue's maternal family.

He was only a Realm King, so it was normal not to be able to sense the other party's aura.

"Aunt Bai, do you have something to find me for?"

Cao Bu repeated the matter that Aunt Bai had just clarified to him.

"It's about the reception matters in a few days."

"At that time, all the major forces in Sword Province will be present, and even the Immortal Emperor Clan from other provinces will send people."

"The Second Mistress specially asked this old servant to come and ask how the preparations are going?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yun's expression immediately sank.

It was the Second Aunt again!

Did she not trust his ability?

Thinking of the last time, plus this time, his dissatisfaction with Leng Yue added a few more layers.

"Go back and tell the Second Aunt, Aunt Bai, I just came back from the Grand Elder, everything has been arranged properly, tell her not to worry." Gu Yun's tone was cold.

Cao Bu smiled and nodded: "Since that is the case, this old servant will take her leave."

As he turned, he saw through the door crack that Li Xinxue was walking this way.

The corners of his mouth hooked up, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Heaven is truly helping me!

Gu Yun watched Cao Bu leave, and as soon as he turned around, he met Li Xinxue's resentful gaze.

"Why so long?" Li Xinxue said with dissatisfaction.

Seeing that the person had not returned for a long time, she had dressed and come out to look for him, only to see Gu Yun talking to Aunt Bai from afar.

Gu Yun thought Li Xinxue was blaming him for being delayed too long at the Grand Elder's place, so he quickly explained: "This is a major matter. This time, the five great Holy Lands will send people to hold the line, so I naturally have to put in more effort."

Speaking of this, his tone carried a bit of pride.

"The masters of these five Holy Lands were all my father's brothers and subordinates back then."

"Without Father, the forces behind them would not have gone from being third-rate forces to the current Holy Lands."

Gu Yun sighed, his eyes full of admiration for his father, Gu Qingtian.

Li Xinxue didn't doubt him and asked: "Did Aunt Bai come just for this? Didn't you already discuss it with the Grand Elder?"

"Hmph! The Second Aunt doesn't trust me." Gu Yun said coldly: "Superficial concern, but actually surveillance."

Li Xinxue looked at the back of Cao Bu, who had transformed into Aunt Bai, walking away, and her brows locked tightly.

This Second Aunt's hand stretched too far.

If this continues, even if Gu Yun becomes the Clan Chief, he will probably be constrained by her.

"Come in, let's discuss this. We can't let her keep suppressing you."

She pulled Gu Yun back inside.

"Look at the Third Concubine, she's so good, she doesn't leave the house, focuses on Cultivate, and never meddles in other people's business."

"She, on the other hand, manages this and that. I think this Clan Chief position should just be given to her."

Gu Yun said helplessly: "Actually, this matter can't blame her. My mother asked her to assist me in succeeding to the position before she went into seclusion."

"Assist?! I think she's just coveting this Clan Chief position." Li Xinxue interrupted angrily: "If you let her manage things again, I think you shouldn't even be the Clan Chief."

She had already made up her mind that she must not let Leng Yue continue to point fingers!

Yingke Peak.

In a guest room.

Zhao Wei opened her eyes dazedly, looking confused, and gradually became clear-headed.

She wanted to sit up, but as soon as she propped up her body, she fell back.

"What's going on? Why does my body feel like it's falling apart?" Zhao Wei frowned, showing a hint of discomfort.

She felt strange, as if her body had been run over by something, sore and weak.

She tried to use her Divine Sense to check her body, but strangely, everything in her body was normal; she was neither injured nor poisoned.

Turning her head, she saw Lin Xiaotian lying beside her, sleeping like a dead pig.

"Husband? Wake up!" Zhao Wei reached out and pushed him, but Lin Xiaotian had no reaction, and even his Primordial Spirit was drunk and muddled. It was estimated that he wouldn't be able to wake up for a while.

"How much did we drink that night? If I had known, I wouldn't have pushed myself!" Zhao Wei muttered.

At this moment, the door opened, and Lin Rou ran in hurriedly: "Mother! You're finally awake!"

Zhao Wei smiled reluctantly: "Rou'er, how long have I slept?"

She tried to get up again, but her hands and feet were weak, and she almost fell back down.

Lin Rou quickly supported her: "Mother, you've been sleeping for four days."

"Four days?" Zhao Wei rubbed her temples, her head still dizzy: "Then how many days are left until Gu Yun's Succession Ceremony?"

"Six days." Lin Rou replied.

Zhao Wei sighed: "Help me out to get some air. The aftereffects of this Sleepless Drunken Dream are really strong, making my whole body feel like it's falling apart."

Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly paused, her gaze glancing at Lin Xiaotian on the bed, her cheeks slightly flushed.

In reality, Lin Xiaotian's ability in that regard was just average.

But in the dream, he seemed like a different person, tossing her for several hours, and he wouldn't stop no matter how much she begged for mercy.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wei sighed inwardly: If only he were this capable in reality.

Seeing her strange expression, Lin Rou asked curiously: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing!" Zhao Wei shook her head quickly, casting away the messy thoughts in her mind.

"Then I'll help you to the courtyard to rest." Lin Rou said with concern.

Zhao Wei nodded: "Okay."
