Seeing the three n in front of her, ShuRan frowned, because she knew exactly who they were.
BaoLan, Yun, and LiuWei.
Especially LiuWei. He made her uncomfortable, a chill crawling up her spine, as if a venomous snake were staring her down.
After the three finished speaking, they exchanged looks. Then Yun spoke first. "Young lady Cao, may I have the honor of inviting you to admire the moon together tonight and discuss music?"
"Huh!" BaoLan cut in, interrupting Yun. "Discuss music? What a joke. What the hell do you know about music?"
"You..." Yun ground his teeth.
BaoLan ignored him and smiled at ShuRan. "Young lady Cao, the kingdom is currently lacking an Elder position. If you’re interested, we can discuss it tonight."
"Idiot!" Yun snapped. "Do you think an Elder position is sothing you can decide?"
"Why not?" BaoLan laughed. "As long as Young lady Cao accepts my feelings, I have a hundred ways to make sure she sits firmly in that Elder seat."
"Fuck! I’d sooner believe a sow can climb a tree than the crap you just said."
"What do you an? Yun, don’t think that..."
"Young masters..." At this mont, Cao ShuRan’s voice rang out. "Sorry to interrupt your conversation, however... today I only wish to admire the moon alone and find inspiration for my writing. Please forgive ."
After saying that, she walked past Yun and BaoLan.
They didn’t dare stop her. After all, their cultivation was only qi refining, while Cao ShuRan had already reached foundation establishnt.
They didn’t dare be disrespectful to a foundation establishnt expert. What’s more, she was also a tier 3 Herbalist.
You could say Cao ShuRan was an extrely terrifying existence. Even the king of this kingdom would have to greet her gently with a "Young lady Cao."
That alone showed just how high her status was.
However, LiuWei stepped in front of Cao ShuRan at this mont. His gaze was gloomy and cold, carrying a greed that made her uncomfortable.
"Young lady Cao, I am LiuWei. I don’t want to bother you. I only want to ask you one thing," LiuWei said softly.
Cao ShuRan paused slightly, indicating he could speak.
LiuWei smiled and asked, "Young lady Cao, tomorrow, will you enter the Weapon Tower?"
Cao ShuRan thought for a mont, then nodded, and left without saying anything else.
LiuWei stared after her back. His pupils narrowed into diamond slits like a snake’s eyes. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his gaze locking onto ShuRan’s hot figure as if he wanted to devour her whole.
ShuRan sensed LiuWei’s gaze, but she didn’t care. To a foundation establishnt cultivator like her, LiuWei, BaoLan, and Yun were nothing but tiny ants, not worth ntioning.
What mattered was that today she wanted to see whether the fated man destined for her would appear, just as Tianji Pavilion had predicted.
When she passed the seventh floor, ShuRan suddenly stopped. Her eyes drifted toward Ri Guang’s room, and a sensation rose within her, sothing she had never felt before.
’Strange, it feels like... sothing is pulling at . Even...’ ShuRan pressed her lips together, feeling her body heat up slightly, her heartbeat speeding up, and even that place was already a little wet.
’What’s happening?’ she thought. ’Why do I feel like this? Could it be...’
At that mont, the cultivation technique inside her body suddenly began circulating on its own. A few strands of spiritual power suddenly followed the moonlight and rged into her body.
"Mm!" ShuRan let out a tiny moan.
Hearing it, Xiao Hua jolted and hurriedly asked, "Young lady, are you okay?"
"No! I... I’m fine." ShuRan flinched, hurriedly hiding her emotions and forcing herself to calm down, her eyes still fixed on Ri Guang’s room.
She turned her head to Xiao Hua and said, "Xiao Hua, investigate whose room that is."
"Ah! Yes!" After hearing that, Xiao Hua gave orders to the lower-ranking maids, then went with ShuRan up to the eighth floor and stopped.
Although the eighth floor wasn’t the highest floor, it was the best place to admire the moon. It was said the two floors above were reserved for the Pavilion Master of Wangyue Pavilion.
Of course, no one knew who that was, and no one had ever t the Pavilion Master of Wangyue Pavilion. However, people had heard that person’s voice and guessed it was probably an old man.
ShuRan sat down by the balcony, her eyes gazing at the moon hanging in the night sky like a shining jade bead.
...
At the sa ti, Ri Guang was letting Lan Yue and Qingya dress him when he sensed his cultivation technique suddenly begin circulating on its own.
Especially the moon in his dantian. It didn’t spin nonstop like it did when he absorbed spiritual power from Qingya, but instead released an even stronger halo.
Along with that ca an urge to search for sothing, leaving him even more confused.
But the feeling didn’t last. It vanished after only a few seconds. Ri Guang frowned toward the door, but then didn’t bother with it.
Knock! Knock!
Knocking sounded, followed by a girl’s voice: "Sorry, I am the maid of the First Talented Lady, Cao ShuRan. May I ask who is in the room? What is your na? My lady has no ill intentions. She only wishes to befriend the person in this room."
Hearing that, Ri Guang looked at Qingya and Lan Yue with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Qingya wanted to open the door, but Ri Guang didn’t feel at ease. He gently took her hand and said, "I’ll do it. My cultivation is higher. If we et bad people, I can handle it."
After all, Qingya’s beauty had been exposed. Many people had seen it, so of course there would be those with ill intentions who ca.
Warmth rose in Qingya’s heart. She nodded lightly, her gaze toward him turning even gentler.
Ri Guang took a deep breath, then walked to the door. When he opened it, a young girl with black hair styled into two small buns stood there. She wore a pink dress, her features delicate and cute.
Seeing Ri Guang, her eyes imdiately lit up.
"You are... you are the owner of this room?" she asked softly.
Ri Guang nodded. "I am. Are you looking for ?"
"Ah! Yes!" Xiao Hua stamred. "No! Not , it’s my lady."
"Your lady?" Ri Guang frowned. "Cao ShuRan?"
"That’s right!" Xiao Hua bowed her head slightly. Her cheeks reddened, and she kept stealing shy glances at him.
Ri Guang didn’t find her reaction strange. After all, the System had said the cultivation technique ’Sun-Moon Co-Illumination’ could attract the opposite sex. So he thought the girl had also been bewitched by his technique.
Xiao Hua smiled. "Young master, my lady wants to drink tea and admire the moon with you. Can you agree?"
As she spoke, she looked at Ri Guang with sparkling eyes full of anticipation.
Ri Guang frowned, intending to refuse, but Lan Yue’s voice entered his consciousness.
’My husband, agree to her!’
’But...’ Ri Guang communicated through his consciousness: ’I don’t know her. She suddenly invited like this. Sothing about it feels off.’
’My husband, don’t worry. Here, I am the strongest. If you are in danger, I will save you imdiately,’ Lan Yue said confidently.
Hearing that, Ri Guang felt a bit more at ease. He looked at Xiao Hua and said softly, "Then... please lead the way."
Xiao Hua was delighted and imdiately led Ri Guang away.
....
ShuRan took a sip of tea, carefully thinking about what had just happened, carefully recalling that strange feeling earlier.
At this mont, she held a brush. The brush danced across the paper as she kept writing words that would make others feel embarrassed onto the scroll.
The more ShuRan wrote, the redder her face beca, as if it were about to catch fire. She pressed her lips together, her breathing a little fast, yet her hand kept writing without stopping.
It had only been a fleeting sensation, yet she described it in ticulous detail. The paper was packed with dense writing, enough to make anyone dizzy just from looking.
ShuRan clenched her teeth. The more she rembered that feeling, the itchier she beca. Her hand unconsciously reached toward the most hidden place. Her jade-like finger, refined as if carved by a master craftsman, gently touched that secret land.
"Mm..." A soft moan escaped, like a breeze brushing wind chis, a tiny sound yet enough to make the heart of anyone who heard it tremble.
ShuRan’s cheeks flushed. The redness spread across her entire face, making her even more alluring.
Her hazy eyes stared into the distance, moist as if she were about to cry. Her mind was filled with nothing but the sensation she had just felt.
It... was strange.
Very strange.
She had never felt anything like it before.
The hand holding the brush danced across the paper, writing nonstop, as if no matter how much she wrote, it still wouldn’t satisfy her.
Her other hand rubbed that dark land. A small area of her silk underwear was soaked through, but the wet patch kept spreading.
"Ha... ha..." ShuRan panted, pressing her lips together as her fingers gripped the calligraphy brush tightly. Her large breasts rose and fell with each breath.
"Young lady!"
"AGH!!" ShuRan scread in shock, and even Xiao Hua, who had spoken, was frightened.
Because she had been too focused on that, she hadn’t noticed her surroundings and hadn’t sensed soone approaching.
Xiao Hua fell onto the ground, panicking. "Young lady, what’s wrong? Don’t scare ! Wuwuwu..."
ShuRan panted, looking at Xiao Hua. There was a hint of annoyance in her eyes because her pleasure had been interrupted.
She said irritably, "Don’t be scared. I was just startled. What is it?"
Xiao Hua let out a breath of relief, hurriedly wiped away her tears, then said, "Young lady, I invited that person over."
"That person?" Cao ShuRan frowned. Her tone had lost much of its patience. "Who?"
"The man destined for you."
Cao ShuRan: "..."
