People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 80, The Tide Demoness (Seeking monthly votes!!)

"Isn't this my Imperial Physician? Why didn't you go to Zilan Pavilion today?"

The swaying enchantress walked up to Xu Qing with a dangerous smile on her face, and suddenly lashed her leather whip onto the ground.

The sound of the whip hitting the ground sent a shiver down Xu Qing's spine.

How can this be real? I went to Zilan Pavilion, but I didn't do anything.

Xu Qing looked at the marks left on the expensive carpet and nervously swallowed.

"Madam is too kind. There is a reason for me to go to Zilan Pavilion; I have no choice but to go."

"Oh? There's a reason for that? Tell me what the reason is."

The succubus reached out and pinched Xu Qing's chin, her slender fingers tracing across Xu Qing's cheek.

Feeling the sharp nails slicing across his face, Xu Qing knew that if his next answer didn't satisfy the Tide Demoness, he would face more than just being whipped.

Under the gaze of the Tide Demoness, a sorrowful expression appeared on Xu Qing's face.

“When I was young, I studied Confucianism, but my teacher passed away a month ago, and his wife followed him. I am far away in Xinzheng and cannot go to see him.”

“My master and his wife loved me the most when they were alive, so before they passed away they specially left me their belongings and instructed their children and grandchildren to make sure they passed them on to me.”

"However, my fellow disciples and the descendants of my master were all guarding his tomb, but they had to disobey his last wishes, so they entrusted it to a close merchant to pass on to me."

"The merchant asked me to meet him at Zilan Pavilion, but since my master and mistress's belongings were still in his possession, I didn't think too much about it and went to Zilan Pavilion."

As Xu Qing spoke, she also used her internal energy to stimulate the acupoints at the corners of her eyes, causing her eyes to redden and tears to well up.

Now it's time to put on a good acting show. If he can't fool the trendy vixen, he'll definitely get whipped.

It is said that a woman's tears are a man's stimulant, and vice versa.

Seeing Xu Qing's "genuine emotions," a hint of heartache flashed in Chao Nu Yao's eyes.

"Is that so? It seems I really misunderstood you." The Tide Demoness looked at Xu Qing with some pity and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Xu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His acting skills were undeniable; even in later generations, he would definitely win an award.

Seeing the relief flash in Xu Qing's eyes, the Tide Demoness revealed a wicked smile, leaned forward, and whispered in Xu Qing's ear.
"The matter of going to Zilan Pavilion is over, but what about your affair with that Zi Nu?"

Xu Qing was stunned. Looking at the smile on Chao Nu Yao's face, he immediately realized that he had been tricked.

Seeing Xu Qing's stunned expression, Chao Nu Yao's lips curled up, and her eyes gleamed.

"Well? Have you come up with a reason this time?" The succubus's fingers traced across Xu Qing's neck.

Isn't this another way of doing things? Isn't this a valid point?
Xu Qing was a little anxious. He hadn't expected the Tide Demoness to be so rational, and he hadn't been fooled by her. But Xu Qing was no pushover either.

Xu Qing's face immediately showed melancholy and vicissitudes. He no longer looked like a handsome young man, but clearly a man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and was full of stories.

"That's how the world is; if people want to survive, they have no other choice but to do this."

Xu Qing's voice was low and his eyes were full of sadness, like a fighter who tried his best to resist the world but ultimately had to bow his head.

Looking at Xu Qing like this, Chao Nu Yao felt as if something in her heart had been touched. It seemed that she had also resisted entering the Han King's Palace in the same way, but in the end she could only bow to fate.

Perhaps thinking of the past, Chao Nuyao slowly removed her hand from Xu Qing's neck, her beautiful eyes filled with a complex and tender feeling.

"Yes, in this vortex called power, who can remain unscathed?"

The "Trendy Fairy" seemed to be speaking to Xu Qing, but also seemed to be speaking to herself.

Xu Qing has now entered the imperial court and is being used by King Han An as a pawn to check and balance the court. He will inevitably have to give up his weaknesses, otherwise his fate will probably not be better than that of the Ninth Prince Han Fei, who was ostracized and forced to leave Xinzheng.

She was once a carefree young girl in Nanyang, protected by her parents. However, with the passing of her aunt, the fertile fiefdom of Nanyang instantly became a tempting target for everyone.

In order to protect Nanyang and, more importantly, to preserve the family's wealth, Xueyibao cooperated with Ji Wuye, and she became a victim of this power transaction, being sent to the Han King's Palace.

She still remembers the scene when she first entered the Han King's palace, the Han King's greedy eyes as if he were looking at prey, the scheming and fighting among the concubines in the harem, and the endless oppression and loneliness.
It was in this inhuman Han royal palace that she gradually transformed from an innocent girl into the Azure Tide Demoness, one of the Four Fiends of the Night.

Xu Qing's words resonated with her, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Xu Qing.

Seeing the trendy woman like this, Xu Qing felt at ease. When it comes to acting skills, he has never been afraid of anyone.

The Tide Demoness looked at Xu Qing and reached out to untie the silk ribbons binding Xu Qing's body, but her hand stopped just as she was about to untie the ribbons binding Xu Qing's limbs.

Xu Qing looked at the Tide Demoness with a puzzled expression, only to see that the tenderness in the Tide Demoness's eyes had disappeared, replaced by a playful smile.

"Madam." Xu Qing was extremely frustrated. Perhaps the Tide Demoness never intended to let him go from the beginning, and that she was just toying with him.

Just like wildcats hunting prey, they often like to torment their prey first, making them experience hope and despair repeatedly, before finally devouring them in one bite.

"What you said is correct, but the lesson still needs to be learned."

The sassy woman's sharp nails sliced ​​open Xu Qing's belt, instantly loosening his wide official robes, and her slender jade fingers flicked them down.

"Madam, it's still daytime," Xu Qing reminded her.

"King Han has no time to come to the inner palace right now. Qin has sent troops to attack Han, and he is currently discussing countermeasures with his court officials."

The succubus winked at Xu Qing, then lightly lashed the leather whip across Xu Qing's strong body. With a tug on the silk, Xu Qing was pulled to the ground.

Just as Xu Qing thought, no matter what reason Xu Qing gave, she would not let Xu Qing go.

Although Xu Qing's words touched a soft spot in her heart, making a mistake is a mistake, and one should be punished.

Xu Qing looked at the Tide Demoness with a lifeless expression, watching the black leather whip swaying in front of him, and a chill ran down his spine.

The trendy woman smiled slightly at Xu Qing, and slowly took off her high-heeled boots, revealing her small feet covered in black stockings.

Delicate little feet stepped on the blanket.

The succubus tilted her head slightly to the left, her eyes filled with a triumphant smile, and the two teardrops at the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned, making her even more charming and alluring.

"The incense in the incense burner is about to burn out."

As she spoke, the swaying woman walked toward the magnificent incense burner.
The small, purplish-gold incense burner emitted wisps of incense that rose and swirled upwards like clouds of smoke, surrounding the Tide Fairy and adding a touch of mysterious ambiance.

Under Xu Qing's gaze, Chao Nu Yao slightly lifted the lid of the incense burner with her slender jade hands, her waist bending down and her full peach-shaped breasts forming an alluring curve.

The thin veil draped over her shoulders fell down her slender waist, revealing her fair back, through which several black ribbons ran.

Her short skirt swayed slightly, and her jade-like legs, encased in red-trimmed black stockings, were crossed and stretched straight.

Her delicate, small feet were slightly raised, with black tulle piled around her feet.

The white smoke, which should have been like the ethereal mist of a fairy descending, now surrounded the alluring female demon, Chao Nu Yao, making her appear both bewitching and holy, like a fallen fairy.

A hazy, mysterious allure kept stimulating Xu Qing's senses. His eyes were filled with amazement, and his blood surged within him.

Xu Qing felt that if he could still hold back, he wouldn't be a real man. So he tried to break free of the silk ribbons, preparing to emulate the Monkey King's three battles with the White Bone Demon.

However, this silk was much stronger than ordinary cloth, and Xu Qing couldn't break free by force alone.

The succubus's smile deepened as she looked at the lustful Xu Qing.

Everyone else thought Xu Qing was a virtuous and indifferent gentleman who saved lives, but only she knew that Xu Qing was clearly a complete lecher.

The best way to deal with such a person is to provoke their emotions, so that they can only see but not have.

Seeing Xu Qing struggling anxiously, the Tide Demon felt it wasn't enough, so she pulled off the hairpin on her head, gathered her hair with both hands, and tied it into two ponytails with thin rope.

"Imperial Physician, what do you think of my actions?"

The trendy woman had her back to Xu Qing, her hair swaying slightly.

Hearing the rough breathing behind her, the smile in the woman's eyes deepened.

Xu Qing's visit to the brothel didn't bother her much. The only thing that upset her was Xu Qing's flirting with Zi Nu, the brothel owner. How could she allow other women to touch her prey?
"Alright, let's just give him a little punishment. We can't let him really break us."

As Chao Nu Yao spoke, she was about to get up to untie Xu Qing, but the next moment a pair of large hands appeared on her waist.

Looking back, she was met with Xu Qing's handsome face.

"What are you doing"

"How could I refuse such a kind invitation from Madam?"

Listening to the commotion inside the palace, the maid remained calm. Having guarded the palace for Xu Qing and her mistress for so long, her resistance had long since increased.

"Didn't you know beforehand that the Imperial Physician could withstand several lashes?"

P.S.: This humble adopted son is online again, begging for monthly votes. Adoptive fathers, please lend me your lucky fingers.
