The first time in history

In desperation, Qian Mingduo, Lu Ran and Xiu'er pretended to be tourists and went straight to Huanglong. They left their identity cards near the privately-run copper mine of Moyilou.

But now this brand name is hanging on Qian Mingduo's waist again.

At this time, he was leisurely walking into a bamboo forest.

Bamboo forest at dusk. The afterglow falls and the bamboo shadows sway.

The wind blows, and the leaves rustle. In the silence, it seems like a story is waiting to happen.

At this time, Lu Ran, sitting in his study, was looking at a small piece of paper, on which was written: Tonight at dusk, I will be waiting for you in the bamboo forest west of the city. The signature was just one word: Liu.

Deep in the bamboo forest, there is a small courtyard surrounded by a fence of dead bamboo. The courtyard is quiet and simple, and a house made of green bamboo stands quietly, blending into the surrounding environment.

Qian Mingduo stood at the door of the bamboo house, looking at the half-open door, and suddenly he had a strange feeling, a feeling beyond common sense and cognition.

"Your Highness." A pleasant voice came from the bamboo house, "Since you are here, why don't you go in?"

Qian Mingduo gently pushed open the door, and the bamboo floor made a slight sound when he stepped on it. The scene inside the house came into view.

There was nothing in the room except for a slightly fluttering soft curtain on the left hand side. The curtain was woven from bamboo threads as thin as hair.

A slender figure lying on her side is vaguely visible behind the soft curtain.

"Mr. Liu?" Qian Mingduo asked slowly.

"Your Highness, aren't you surprised at all?" The woman's voice was soft and seemed to be smiling.

"The owner of Mo Yi Tower is mysterious and unpredictable. Now it seems that the body of a woman has a unique charm." Qian Mingduo said with a faint smile.

The woman nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness is indeed extraordinary. He is calm in the face of adversity."

Qian Mingduo looked calmly at the figure behind the soft curtain, "Do I have to talk to you through this soft curtain?"

"I am ugly and I am afraid I might scare Your Highness." The woman chuckled.

"A woman with a nice voice must not be ugly." Qian Mingduo raised his lips slightly, "Why did you lie to me, sir?"

The woman paused for a moment and said softly, "Your Highness, you are joking. How dare I lie to you? I have heard that you are very wise and I feel ashamed of myself."

Qian Mingduo's eyes sparkled as he said, "Sir, you are too modest. Moyilou...Mr. Liu. Everyone in the martial arts world knows him. But it's hard to catch up with his wisdom and find his elegance. It's Ruichen's good fortune to meet him today!"

"Your Highness is not only handsome and elegant, but also worthy of respect." The woman smiled and said, "You are not stingy with your words when you praise me. I am just a little bit smart and my appearance is just ordinary. How dare I accept such praise from Your Highness?"

Qian Mingduo touched his nose, smiled crookedly, and said, "Sir, do you think it's interesting for us to flatter each other like this?"

“Ha, ha, ha…” The woman covered her mouth and laughed, “Your Highness is humorous, I am just speaking the truth. Your demeanor and temperament are indeed heart-moving, and I am deeply impressed.”

"Since you are moved, why don't you be frank with me?" Qian Mingduo lifted the soft curtain and his eyes widened in surprise.

Qian Mingduo had seen many women, some beautiful and some ugly, but the woman in front of him still caught his eye.

She was wearing a pure black soft silk robe, and her black hair fell casually on her shoulders like a waterfall, without any decoration or other color.

She lay on her side, raised her jade hand and placed it on the side of her cheek, lazy and elegant. She just smiled at Ruichen, her smile was like a blooming peony, delicate and soft.

There was a vague ambiguity in her eyes, like a silent call, but also like a coldness that kept people at a distance.

Qian Mingduo's eyes fell on her bare feet, which were clean, white and delicate.

"I just found out today." Qian Mingduo said softly, "Women with nice voices are not only good-looking, but also have nice feet."

"Your Highness, why don't you look at the bright side?" Mr. Liu said softly.

"How could that be! I only see the best-looking and most beautiful places." Qian Mingduo also imitated the woman, supporting his chin with his hand, lying on his side opposite her, and looking straight at her.

"Why does Your Highness want to learn from me?" the woman said quietly.

"If I were a lustful man at this moment, I wonder what you would think?" Qian Mingduo said with a smile.

The woman slowly blinked a few times, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said softly: "I will let Your Highness do whatever you want."

Qian Mingduo didn't expect her to answer him like this. He looked at the woman with some doubt and said, "Is it so easy to give in?"

"My legs can't move. Your Highness, what else do you think I can do?" the woman said calmly.

Qian Mingduo sat up suddenly, turned around to look at the woman who was still looking at him indifferently, and asked softly: "Sir, why can't your legs move?"

"I was riding a horse at full speed and fell off. Since then, my legs have been unable to move." The woman's expression was indifferent, as if she was telling someone else's story.

“Why not treat it?”

The woman didn't say anything, but just shook her head slightly.

Qian Mingduo closed his eyes and sighed softly. The owner of Moyi Tower was rich enough to rival a country. If he could be cured, he would have been cured long ago.

"Since you are so frank, Ruichen will not lie to you." Qian Mingduo lay on his side in front of the woman again and whispered, "Faced with such a beauty, I wanted to do something shameful. But... at this moment... I cannot defile you!"

Qian Mingduo paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he asked, "I want to know your name?"

"Liu Jingxue!" the woman said quietly.

"How old are you?" Qian Mingduo asked a bit aggressively.

"Twenty-nine." The woman said quietly.

"Sister Jingxue." Qian Mingduo nodded and said, "I'm sorry!" After he finished speaking, he turned over and sat up, one hand gently wrapped around Liu Jingxue's back, and the other hand reached to her knees. With a little force, he held her firmly in his arms.

Liu Jingxue subconsciously put her arms around Qian Mingduo's neck, as if she knew Ruichen was going to do this. She didn't struggle or resist, and didn't say a word.

Qian Mingduo had just walked into the courtyard with Liu Jingxue in his arms when he saw four black-robed women surrounding him. Four shining swords were pointed at him.

At this moment, Qing'er and Zi'er, who had been secretly protecting Ruichen, quickly rushed out of the bamboo forest and rushed towards the four black-robed women desperately, and the two sides clashed instantly.

"Stop!" Qian Mingduo shouted loudly.

After they stopped, Qing'er and Zi'er quickly stood beside Qian Mingduo and stared at the four women in black robes vigilantly.

"Qing'er, Zi'er." Qian Mingduo said softly, "You two should step back."

"Yes!" Qing'er and Zi'er were stunned, they looked at each other, and then quickly rushed into the bamboo forest.

"Ladies." Qian Mingduo smiled and said, "I won't hurt Mr. Liu. I just want the imperial physician to treat her leg disease. Can the four ladies please move aside?"

The four black-robed women ignored Qian Mingduo and stared at him with vigilance and anger.

"I am the owner of Moyi Tower!" Liu Jingxue said softly in Qian Mingduo's arms.
