179 Family Head Ye, This Is the thod
Ye Danqing’s eyelashes trembled slightly. After a while, he opened his eyes.
The first thing she saw was the morning light. It was as if she was in a woman’s boudoir. The furnishings were exquisite and elegant. The table, chair, and dressing table in front of her also had an elegant style. The light purple curtains hung down and gently swayed.
There were a few exquisite golden bells hanging on the curtains, and the tassels shone with a faint luster.
Warm sunlight seeped in through the carved window lattices. The shadows of the bamboo swayed outside, and the rustling sound could be heard. It reflected the brilliance of a few orchid-potted plants inside, making it lively.
Incense was burning in the beast-head furnace on the ground, and a faint wisp of green smoke rose in spirals. The air was filled with the sa light and elegant fragrance. It was not a strong incense that overwheld the host, but an invisible dissipating sll that lingered at the tip of the nose all the ti, even with a slight scholarly sll.
The floor was covered with a carpet. The furry carpet was exquisitely made and looked very comfortable.
Just from the feeling that the decorations gave off, one could imagine how beautiful and elegant the owner of this place was.
It was the end of sumr and the beginning of autumn. The jade carriage beneath her was slightly cold, causing Ye Danqing’s mind to suddenly beco a little clearer.
The Family Head of the Xuanyin family was at a loss at first. Then, she felt as if she had been tied up tightly.
She lowered her head and saw that she was tied up with a red rope of moderate thickness. The technique of the binding seed to be very skilled. It wrapped around her curvaceous body from front to back. It did not seem very strong, but in fact, the more she struggled, the tighter it beca. The rope itself was also very extraordinary, so it should be a magic tool.
She subconsciously struggled for a while before stopping, because she felt that sothing was wrong.
How could one bla her? This... this rope was specially used to humiliate people, and she was only wearing a small piece of clothing!
Ye Danqing furrowed her brows, and a blush of embarrassnt appeared on her fair and beautiful face. She gently bit his lips, and then her eyes widened. She recalled that she had been ambushed by the City Lord of City of Ten Thousand Swords city, Duan Lanruo, and was knocked unconscious after being drugged.
The room in front of him was naturally Duan Lanruo’s bedroom.
However, there was no one in the room. It was very quiet. Ye Danqing moved her body and realized that her cultivation was also restricted by the rope. She rembered hearing her daughter’s voice before she fell unconscious. Her heart sank.
“Cike…” Ye Danqing murmured and frowned. “What is Duan Lanruo trying to do?”
As a mber of the higher-ups of the Sword Pavilion and the City Lord of the City of Ten Thousand Swords, she represented the attitude of a person in power. Attacking the Family Head of the Xuanyin family was basically a declaration of war.
Because of the matter with Cike, the Xuanyin family had to hand over the Skyring Sword and temporarily ease their relationship with the Sword Pavilion. Originally, this would be a great thing for the Sword Pavilion, but what was Duan Lanruo trying to do with this?
Just as she was thinking about this, the closed door creaked.
The wooden door was pushed open, and the woman who walked into the room was wearing a purple robe with wide sleeves. The square neckline with dark patterns revealed a large area of white skin. Her long black hair was tied into a high bun, and her expression had a trace of laziness. The corners of her eyes and the tip of her eyebrows had the charm of a mature woman.
She was no different from the Duan Lanruo that Ye Danqing saw before she fainted. She seed to be very calm and did not seem to be proud of capturing the leader of another major force, neither did she look like she was plotting sothing.
The way Duan Lanruo looked at her was very strange.
Her eyes swept across her face, from her chest, waist, legs, and back to her face. Then, Duan Lanruo suddenly smiled.
It was not mockery, but satisfaction.
Ye Danqing could not help but tighten her legs. She felt very strange in her heart, an indescribable strangeness.
She was clearly a woman of the sa cultivation level as Duan Lanruo, and her status was even lower, but why was there a trace of strangeness in her eyes that wasn’t the ‘condescending’ look she had when looking at prisoners?
“Mother!”
The young girl’s clear and lodious voice suddenly ca from behind Duan Lanruo.
Ye Danqing was taken aback. Then, she saw her daughter walk past Duan Lanruo and run over. With a face full of worry, she whispered, “Mother, are you alright?”
Ye Cike reached out to help her mother up. When she saw the red rope on her body, she couldn’t help but feel agitated. This rope… What was going on with the City Lord?
She held back the strange feeling in her heart and turned back. “City Lord Duan, you said you wouldn’t do anything to my mother.”
Duan Lanruo walked over leisurely and sat on a chair by the bed. She smiled sweetly and then said with a serious tone, “Naturally, I won’t. As a woman, I have always respected the Xuanyin family.”
Many female cultivators admired the Xuanyin family, which was made up entirely of won and yet stood at the peak of the cultivation world. It wasn’t just their strength. In the beginning, the Xuanyin family wasn’t even a strong family yet. They relied on their will and tenacious efforts to obtain their position.
“Is this your so-called respect?” Ye Danqing was so angry that she laughed. She looked at Duan Lanruo and the ropes on her body.
“It’s just a small asure,” Duan Lanruo said. “It’ll allow the Family Head Ye to talk to calmly.”
She emphasized the words ‘calmly’, which made Ye Danqing’s expression even more rigid.
The City Lord stretched out her hand and fiddled with the knots. Her slightly cold fingertips brushed across the woman’s skin, causing her to tremble slightly.
Duan Lanruo looked at Ye Danqing’s embarrassed and angry expression as she bit her lip and blushed. She also looked at the confused expression in Ye Danqing’s eyes as she looked at the ropes. She laughed in her heart.
This dazed expression was actually the sa as when Ye Cike was toyed with by Ah Yue that day, like a young girl who was ignorant of the world.
It was no wonder he had laid his hands on that vixen, Hu Jiuniang. It turned out that the combination of a mature beautiful woman’s appearance and the pureness in her heart was so alluring.
After all, Ye Danqing had been in a high position for many years. She took a deep breath and said calmly, “What exactly do you want to do?”
Cike was in her hands, so she could not act rashly.
Duan Lanruo retracted her hand and did not reply. She rely smiled and said, “Family Head Ye, when you talked to Cike earlier, did you check if she was a virgin?”
Ye Danqing’s expression changed. A cold light appeared in her eyes, and her whole body tensed up as if she was ready to attack at any ti. Her expression was so severe that it was unknown how angry she was.
She did not even have such a big reaction when she was under control, but when it ca to Ye Cike, she was like a mother leopard protecting her cub, exuding a dangerous aura. It was clear that all mothers in the world were the sa.
Duan Lanruo felt the sa way and felt closer to the Family Head Ye, but she did not show it on her face. “Family Head Ye, be at ease. I’ve said it before, I like this child, Cike, very much. I didn’t do anything to her, nor do I want to do anything to her. No matter how cruel the City Lord’s thods may be, I’m still a woman. I won’t use Cike as a threat.”
Her expression was serious and her tone was gentle. Ye Danqing was startled, but she didn’t relax her body. She asked vigilantly, “Then why did you ntion this?”
“Family Head Ye,” Duan Lanruo said. “You’re only concerned about your daughter’s innocence. Why don’t you check her current physical condition?”
She placed Ye Cike’s hand in Ye Danqing’s.
As her spiritual energy circulated, her ridians were unprecedentedly healthy.
“How is that possible?” Ye Danqing was stunned.
“How is it impossible?” the City Lord of Ten Thousand Swords replied calmly. “With yin and yang complenting each other, won’t the problem that has plagued the Xuanyin family for thousands of years be solved?”
“But Cike is clearly a virgin.” Ye Danqing looked at her daughter. The young girl’s face was slightly flushed.
Duan Lanruo slowly took out a milky-white porcelain bottle from her sleeve. With a hint of slyness in her eyes, she smiled and said, “Family Head Ye, this is the thod.”
