Chapter 48: Chapter 46 Turning the Tables
“Princely Heir, the lady is waiting for you in the top-floor room.”
After leading Cheng Guang to the Jade Pavilion, Hong Zhu said a sentence and then led him to the room.
Upon arrival at the room, Hong Zhu halted her steps, no longer moving forward, and respectfully invited Cheng Guang to enter.
Cheng Guang nodded and pushed the door open to enter.
Behind him, Lin Cheng hesitated for a mont, not moving forward; he stood beside Hong Zhu and waited quietly, his eyes involuntarily sizing up the maiden.
After a quick scan, he couldn’t help but snort with a sneer and diverted his gaze.
All for show.
Inside the room.
As soon as Cheng Guang stepped in, a fresh yet not overwhelming fragrance assaulted his senses.
Behind the red curtains and white gauze, steam rose, and a figure could be faintly seen bathing within, not clearly visible.
At the sa ti, the air seed to be filled with a pinkish hue of ambiguous atmosphere, stirring up the body’s most primal desires in anyone within this environnt.
Cheng Guang’s expression remained unchanged as he glanced around, looking at the sowhat disheveled luxurious dresses on the floor, then again at the figure behind the red curtains and white gauze, feigning tenderness and seductiveness, almost losing his composure.
She clearly knew he was about to arrive and, just before he did, stripped clean and jumped into the bath, all to seduce him.
It would have been fine if it ended there, but she even added so powder with CQ drug effects to the scented candles.
She really must be afraid that I wouldn’t find her interesting.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Guang couldn’t help but laugh silently, yet he was not affected in the slightest.
His Charm Eyes granted him immunity to all forms of ntal allure, and it seed they also gave him a certain resistance to drugs of the CQ variety; he wasn’t easily influenced by them.
Otherwise, Cheng Guang would be standing at attention by now.
Cheng Guang was in no hurry; he sat down at a nearby table, poured himself a bowl of tea, and while sipping it, looked intriguingly towards the inner area.
He planned to just watch; after all, there was no harm in looking.
Besides, he was curious how long Bai Shuxuan would bathe inside.
While Cheng Guang was feasting his eyes, the Bai Shuxuan bathing inside was suffering.
In fact, Cheng Guang wrongly accused Bai Shuxuan on one thing.
Bai Shuxuan did intend to seduce Cheng Guang and even planned to use so CQ drugs to aid her efforts, but she did not expect him to arrive so quickly.
Her original plan was to take a bath to look neat and spirited, presenting herself in a better form to Cheng Guang.
Yet she had no anticipation that just after shedding her clothes, without much ti passing, Cheng Guang would rush over.
Bai Shuxuan felt awkward.
While a Green Hill fox clan’s Saintess is skilled in the art of allure, she is not adept at seducing with her body in such a direct manner.
She had intended to finish bathing quickly, but she hadn’t expected Cheng Guang to keep staring at her persistently.
As if it didn’t cost anything.
His gaze had not left her body for a mont since the beginning.
Left with no other plan, Bai Shuxuan decided to go along with it since, in her eyes, Cheng Guang had a hidden ailnt.
Even if he looked, he could not do anything about it.
Consider it a spectacle for the eunuch.
Although Bai Shuxuan felt sowhat disgusted inside, she had no choice but to force herself to endure it.
All this was for her own goal.
After all, Cheng Guang might not live much longer.
Strange glints of light flashed in Bai Shuxuan’s beautiful eyes.
Ti slowly passed by.
It was Bai Shuxuan who started to feel the strain first.
She had been bathing for quite so ti, and Cheng Guang showed no intention of speaking, not even a hint of movent from behind.
If not for Bai Shuxuan continuously sensing soone’s presence behind her, she might have thought she was performing this pair of mandarin ducks playing in water for the air.
Bai Shuxuan subtly turned her head and glanced behind her to see Cheng Guang, his gaze unswervingly fixed on her body, bright and intense as if he could penetrate the thick steam and see her body clearly, occasionally nodding subtly.
This rendered Bai Shuxuan speechless.
The thick steam around her was specially set by her, and normally, no one could see through it; they would only see a silhouette.
Cheng Guang, a man of little cultivation, being able to see clearly was truly a ghostly event.
However, although Bai Shuxuan knew that Cheng Guang couldn’t see much, noticing his indifferent deanor made her abandon much of her plotting and she slowly began to dress.
She thought to herself, indeed Cheng Guang’s body must be ruined, even the Green Hill dicine was of little use to him, otherwise how could he be so calm as he was now.
Bai Shuxuan rose, left the water, and began to dress behind the thick mist.
Right at that mont.
Outside the red canopy and white gauze, Cheng Guang suddenly let out a cough.
Bai Shuxuan’s movents slightly stalled.
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing, continue,” he said.
Cheng Guang’s voice ca from outside, earnest, his eyes widening at the sa ti.
Bai Shuxuan felt a bit strange inside, inexplicably feeling as though her whole body had been clearly seen, and she quickly grabbed a dress from nearby and draped it over herself.
After so rustling, Bai Shuxuan was fully dressed, she lifted the red canopy and ca out, her beautiful face adorned with a charming smile.
Having just bathed, a ravishing rosy hue adorned her fair cheeks, her skin glowed like jade, supple, and lushly moist.
Her black hair casually draped over her shoulders, and as Bai Shuxuan approached, a pleasant fragrance wafted towards him.
“Princely Heir, I have co to see you.”
Bai Shuxuan’s robe was loose, revealing even bolder glimpses of skin than when they first t.
Bai Shuxuan feigned composure as she saluted with a smile on her face. After inquiring about his well-being, she slowly sat down.
Cheng Guang humd in response.
His gaze scrutinized Bai Shuxuan, not the least bit embarrassed, and he smiled back at her.
“Miss Bai, to not see you for a day feels like an eternity.”
“You seem like a different person today compared to yesterday.”
Cheng Guang’s words caused Bai Shuxuan’s jade-like face to stiffen slightly, her red lips pursed, casting him a reproachful yet charming glance, then she looked at Cheng Guang pitifully, her eyes seemingly shimring with tears.
“Princely Heir, why did you say those words last night…”
“Does Shuxuan really not gain your favor at all?”
As she spoke, Bai Shuxuan gently touched the corner of her eye, her eyes rapidly reddening.
Seeing this, Cheng Guang couldn’t help but admire Bai Shuxuan’s acting skills in silence, thinking these tears were ready to fall at her command.
Unabashed, he gazed straight at Bai Shuxuan, teasingly smiling.
“So, what shall we do?”
“How would you like to compensate you?”
Cheng Guang’s counter-question unexpectedly caught Bai Shuxuan off guard.
Fortunate for her, Bai Shuxuan was also not low-skilled, and imdiately replied in a soft voice, “Princely Heir, you can compensate however you wish.”
After speaking, she even affected a shy bite of her red lip, giving the impression of a reluctant yet inviting deanor.
To tell the truth, even though Cheng Guang knew Bai Shuxuan was acting, he could not help but feel a flicker in his heart.
At the sa ti.
In just that short span of ti, Cheng Guang noticed many pink glimrs erging from Bai Shuxuan’s body, drifting towards him inadvertently and rging into his being.
Cheng Guang distinctly felt layers of pink light accumulating on his Primordial Spirit.
But those layers of pink light, upon the flicker of the Charm Eyes Divine Power Marks, abruptly vanished without a trace.
All of this happened without Cheng Guang’s conscious control; it was the instinctual protective action of the Divine Power Marks.
Noting this change in his body, Cheng Guang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt confident that his Charm Eyes Divine Power was indeed effective against Bai Shuxuan’s techniques.
Thoughts churned in Cheng Guang’s mind, a flash of insight crossing his thoughts.
He already had a plan about how to investigate and draw out the assassins.
Since Bai Shuxuan was still unaware that her identity had been exposed to him, and since he was completely immune to her seductive techniques,
this ant that,
he could use her own sches against her.
Cheng Guang smiled faintly, the look in his eyes when he observed Bai Shuxuan carried an indiscernible depth.
