"hum" Zheng Li nodded in agreement

Even though Zheng Li showed no expression. Feng Yuan have an idea of what is in his son's mind.

To Feng Yuan, this son of his is like a volcano, you never know when it'll blow up. It takes too much to reach his bottom line, but when you do, he won't measure his actions. He suffers from the same problem as his father.

they both have a strong desire. An intense sense of lust.

Feng Yuan have a lust for power and everything that comes with it. As for his son, Zheng Li has a much peculiar kind of desire, he can't be sure, but as his father. Feng Yuan can read more into his thoughts than others.

But Feng Yuan doesn't blame nor judge him, it's in the blood.

In fact, he feels pride in it. His only preoccupation was his daughter.

While using her to his means was ultimately useful, it was still a disappointment to have such simple minded thick-headed daughter. A person can't be like that, but she's his daughter nonetheless so he decided to use her commonly, a Marriage for family benefit. Nobody loses.

But heavens never cease to amaze.

Now, when he thinks about his daughter, The image of the needy, prudish thing, turning into a cold bloodthirsty beast in front of him, killing, and taunting. Feng Yuan felt his blood boil as the image passes through his mind. He was angry. true

His plans were demolished, he was despised and humiliated but eventually, he composed himself. Once he calmed down an absurd amount of joy, traveled through his body. Monsters, we're all monsters, all three of us. Daughter, father, and son.

Exhilaration, pride, even happiness! His daughter didn't fail him either!

The Cheng family, with such beastly front line, how can it's future be any less than great?!

Cheng Feng Yuan had a sardonic smile on his face

I'll make sure these two serve the clan well!

Zhi Rui got out of her room, not long after, her new maid, come to greet her With a pouch and a box.

"Young lady, the master just came from the palace and sent these for the Young lady. The maid bowed.

Zhi Rui didn't take the things from her, she looked at her face. she had a healthy glow, even a slight blush, most will not notice it, but Zhi Rui is well acquainted with this kind of expression. It was the same glow she saw when the servants got out of a certain perverted elder's quarters on the light sect.

Zhi Rui started to though.

So her new maid was already 'contacted' by father, that change some things. But still, we didn't even speak half a word after I saved her life, and she's already sucking up to father and putting the knife on my back, such a proactive girl. Such a good example is worth following.

Zhi Rui smiled, "I didn't have time to ask, what is your name?

"Zhun Xuying, young lady." The maid answered.

"What a beautiful name. why don't you put the box in my room, then come to the entrance I'll be waiting."

"As young lady commands." Zhun Xuying gave the pouch to Zhi Rui curtsied and went away.

Reaching the entrance gate, Zhi Rui saw Zheng Li mounting a horse. ready to go out.

Zheng Li looked at his sister, he couldn't help but be stumped again. such a beautiful woman.

Today she was wearing a tight black with shades of red pants and a blouse that went until the waist, fully outlining her figure.

He didn't say anything, but the fire in his heart is getting stronger each time he saw her.

"Elder brother is going back?"

"hm." He nodded. and it ended there, her personal maid appeared then she went away, after saying goodbye.

"Wait. you're not taking a guard with you ?"

Zhir Rui looked back at him, "No need, I'll meet one right now."

Zheng Li remembered the woman he delivered the letter and felt relieved.

without saying anything he went away. he didn't want to, but he needs to cool down, otherwise, he might commit a mistake

----------

Master and servant both walked towards a more isolated part of the city.

It was three in the afternoon, so the streets were quiet, and the wind was hot.

Zhun Xuying was around thirty years and has never eating regularly.

She was sweating and breathing hard, After all, she was completely human.

Zhi Rui didn't mind it, she would observe her from time to time. but she never stopped to rest.

Soon, they reached a small tavern, Zhi Rui looked at the tables inside and found her.

Golden, feline eyes, short messy golden hair, leather armor with an overskirt. she wasn't voluptuous, but you could see her fitness.

Zhi Rui went in her direction

Zhun Xuying was confused but followed along.

face to face, Zhi Rui stared the woman on her eyes, without blinking.

"I didn't ask your name yet." Zhi Rui said the same phrase she used on her maid.

"That's because you send your man to deliver your words. if you had come yourself, I would've told you myself. My name is Hilda, don't question it, it's a tribal name."

Zhi Rui smiled

"I didn't plan on coming myself either as you know from the letter.

But men made plans then heavens laugh."

At the end of the sentence, Zhi Rui eyes went to Zhun Xuying.

Hilda noticed but didn't comment.

" I was holed up in the bedroom for a week, I want to go to a nicer place."

Zhi Rui extended her hand to Hilda. "let's go?"

Hilda looked at the fair hand, the girls voice still resonating in her mind.

"Yes, as long as you pay." She reached out and their hands linked.

Feeling the smooth but firm hand, Zhi Rui chuckled.

---------

Zhun Xuying hadn't even rested when they moved again.

And yet when she reached their new destination, her mind shook her up from surprise, it was as if the ground under her was falling.

"Eh-uhm Y-young lady, are you sure? if you happened to be sighted here, Your image will be severely affected."

Zhi Rui smiled gently at her, then answered.

Don't worry, few people know of my appearance, and few would believe if they were told the righteous young lady of the general's house went to a brothel.

Finished speaking, she looked at Hilda, seeing no reaction.

She directly went to the woman receiving them at the door.

looked seriously at the woman's eyes and said

"I want a particular room, you don't need to bring courtesans only wine and food."

she gave a smile to the woman.

"I'll have some fun today."
