Two people entered the inner room, their clothing scattered on the floor, trailing all the way to the bedside.
Yu Yao still hadn't seen his majestic body clearly before, but she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and her heart racing half a beat.
The man's bronze skin, eight-pack abs, clear jawline, distinct facial contours, sword-like brows, eyes like stars in the sky, and an overall aura of high-minded aloofness and coldness.
The physique is indeed impressive, not inferior to the male leads she had encountered before.
Her eyes fell on his private area...
Compared with the male leads she had met before, this one is also among the top male leads in her previous lifetimes.
Of course, it doesn't compare to the Demon Emperor and Mo Jin.
Those two aren't human beings, so we can't measure them according to ordinary logic.
It's not even Mo Jue, who is a seven-level snake beast and naturally has stronger abilities...
The Night Beichen from the first dimension was also very strong; that was a fantasy realm, and Night Beichen was naturally a strong man.
Not only is he the emperor, but his martial arts skills are also top-notch; he is naturally powerful.
The worst one is the male lead of the previous dimension - Chen Zhongyuan.
He's rich and has a great physique, but he's just too busy. He's either in a meeting, on his way to a meeting, or busy entertaining.
There's no time to exercise.
In fact, Chen Zhongyuan is not bad. At least he is stronger than ordinary people when compared to them.
But Yu Yao is different; her expectations have been greatly raised by her successive male leads.
That's also why she is so covetous of Xuan Yuan City.
Xuan Yuan City's gaze is becoming increasingly terrifying, like a wolf staring at her with a wicked smile on his lips.
The room soon filled with sounds that made one blush and their heart race.
The sounds spread outside the room, making the maidservants outside blush.
Xiang Ling stood at the door, hearing the crying sounds of the girl inside, and thought something had happened. She wanted to rush in several times.
But she was held firmly by Li Fu, the eunuch.
"Li Fu, don't pull me..."
Xiang Ling was still a young girl of fifteen or sixteen, so she naturally didn't understand these things. Now, she was in a hurry and desperate to get away from Li Fu.
"Oh, Xiang Ling miss, if you rush in now, even your girl can't save you. Don't worry, your girl is fine."
Li Fu doesn't know if this little servant is really dumb or pretending to be, but how could she not know these things?
Instead of letting her go, he tightened his grip on her, preventing her from going in and disturbing them.
"The miss is crying; how could she be fine?"
Xiang Ling's face showed disbelief, but thinking about what Li Fu said, that she couldn't even save her own girl if she rushed in, she became afraid.
The situation outside the house was unknown to Yu Yao.
She narrowed her eyes, her hair dampened, looking both enticing and delicate, like a seductive spirit that can enchant the soul.
Xuan Yuan City's whole body's blood accelerated, his body tensed like a leopard, dangerous and full of alluring power.
He had never imagined that the woman in front of him could be so charming and graceful.
It was beyond his control, making him love her uncontrollably.
It lasted until late at night, when Xuan Yuan City finally let her go and wanted to leave.
But the woman on his body refused to let go of him, clinging to him like an octopus, not allowing him to leave.
"Good girl, it's very late now. It's your first time, and I'm afraid you might not be able to handle it."
The man looked at the damp strands of the woman's hair, kissing her gently and smiling softly with a gentle tone.
He didn't feel anything wrong with it and instead thought it was a sign of his strength. He didn't let the pride in his heart get too out of hand.
Yu Yao looked at the man, her eyes sparkling like ripples of a jade pond, pouting with dissatisfaction, "Don't go..."
"Chuckle..."
The man kissed her on the cheek, "So greedy, but I like it."
He turned over and pressed the woman down again.
The night is enticing, and the scenery is like a painting.
Yu Yao seemed to have transformed into a female demon from a folklore story that absorbs the essence of others, not allowing Xuan Yuan City to leave her even a single step.
The faint scent of flowers in the air blended with an indelible aura, as if it could penetrate through the skin and seep into the five internal organs, causing confusion and distraction, making the heart flutter and the mind sway.
It wasn't until the first light of dawn that Yu Yao finally fell asleep, exhausted.
Xuan Yuan City casually washed her and lay next to her, holding her and falling asleep. Even the early morning audience with the emperor was forgotten.
Li Fu, standing outside the door, wanted to go in several times to remind him, but seeing the prince sleeping soundly, and considering the prince's numerous military victories and his status as the emperor's own brother, he thought that missing one audience was nothing.
As the first rays of dawn break through the early morning, the Azure Palace's glazed tiles glow with a faint golden light. The morning clouds are like a tapestry, yet they can't hide the subtle atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Emperor Xuan Yuan Cuan, dressed in a dragon robe, sat on the golden and jade throne, with a few subtle concerns hidden in his brows.
Today, the atmosphere in the court was unusually heavy, for it was a rare occurrence in history that Qin Wang, known as the War God of Jingguo and one who had never missed an early morning audience, did not appear.
"Gentlemen, who among you knows the reason why Qin Wang did not appear today?"
The voice of Xuan Yuan Cuan was deep and powerful, echoing in the spacious hall, prompting the court officials to whisper and murmur among themselves.
"Qin Wang is usually diligent, and he has never missed an audience unless there's an emergency on the border. Could it be..." A senior minister stroked his beard, deep in thought, hesitating to speak further.
"Could it be that Qin Wang's health is not well?" Another young official took over the conversation, expressing his deep concern.
Chancellor Li Mu Bai was the first to step forward, bowing respectfully and saying: "Your Majesty, Qin Wang is the pillar of our Jingguo and has countless war merits. His absence today is causing us great concern. Could it be that there are urgent news from the border?"
"No, there is no urgent military news from the border."
Xuan Yuan Cuan gently shook his head, his gaze deep and profound. Although he had many speculations in his heart, he didn't want to speculate casually, so he ordered: "Send someone to the Qin Palace, to investigate Qin Wang's condition and report back quickly."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards outside the Golden Throne Hall respectfully responded with a single word and quickly left the palace to head for the Qin Palace.
Shortly after, the guards rushed back.
He stepped into the palace, his expression peculiar, kneeling respectfully in the center of the hall with a bow and said: "Your Majesty, Qin Wang is still sleeping at his palace and has not awakened yet. According to the servants in his residence, the prince spent the night at Miss Yu Yao's Mingxi Pavilion last night."
Upon hearing this, there was an immediate stir in the court.
The Iron-Blooded War God, Qin Wang, was known for never taking a woman's affection. Although he had several concubines in his household, they were like empty vessels, and there was not a single instance of him being close to any of them.
"Yu Yao? Who is this woman?"
Xuan Yuan Cuan's eyebrows furrowed, and his gaze locked onto the guard, a sense of unexplained curiosity and unease rising in his heart.
"Your Majesty, Yu Yao is a dance girl presented by the Western Regions as an offering. She was recently admitted to the Qin Palace."
The guard replied respectfully.
Upon hearing this, the court officials began to whisper among themselves, discussing in confusion.
Some guessed that perhaps Qin Wang had been truly enthralled by beauty, while others worried if his actions had another hidden reason.
After the court was over, Xuan Yuan Cuan turned to the Empress Feng Yi Palace to consult with Empress Chen Wan Zhen on this matter.
Inside the Feng Yi Palace, a faint aroma of flowers mingled with wisps of incense filled the air, washing away all dust and worries.
Empress Chen Wan Zhen was sipping tea at the table, her elegant and simple clothes enhancing her gentle and elegant demeanor like jade.
Seeing the emperor suddenly visit, she was slightly surprised and then quickly stood up to greet with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, why do you have time to come here today?"
Xuan Yuan Cuan waved his hand to dismiss the formality and walked directly towards the empress, his tone laced with concern: "Queen, have you heard about the matter of Qin Wang?"
Upon hearing this, the empress's eyebrows furrowed, clearly having heard something as well: "Your Majesty, my lord Qin has always been self-disciplined, and this behavior is indeed abnormal. What do you think..."
"I am worried about this matter." Xuan Yuan Cuan nodded slightly and sighed, "I heard he spent the night at the concubine's Mingxi Pavilion…"
"She is the dance girl from the Western Regions, you have also met her."
Xuan Yuan Cuan looked at the empress and explained again.
The empress was shocked in her heart and also remembered the woman of Yu Yao. She was grateful that this woman had not entered the palace, otherwise, all the women in the palace might become useless.
Even Qin Wang, who had always been indifferent to women, couldn't resist, let alone Xuan Yuan Zhan who had a penchant for beautiful women.
Although the empress had these thoughts in her heart, she suggested on the surface: "Your Majesty, if you are worried, it might be better to visit the Qin Palace and see the situation for yourself."
Xuan Yuan Cuan thought it made sense and looked at the empress after a moment, and then he left.
