Chapter 170: Beautiful Woman, Enchantress! (1/2)
Meng Yan Lou.
“The Ye Family have already agreed. Ye Shuiyao must have been compelled to agree to this matter. Three quarters of an hour ago, Feng Ling and Feng Chaoyang returned home, they must have already reached an agreement with Long Yin. Princess, shall we get ourselves involved in this matter?”
Shui Mengchan went silent for a long time, her brows slightly knitted before her pretty lips gently moved, “There’s no need. Our agreement with Ye Wuchen is to protect the safety of his family members, we must not let them know of us or interfere with their actions.”
Ling-er nodded her head, dropped her hands to her sides and waited for further instructions.
“Actually… Kui Shui Nation’s abnormal behavior must certainly be related to the Northern Empire Clan. They clearly know that we intended to manipulate Tian Long Nation, yet still they let this kind of situation to happen.”
Ling-er said, “Both sides were fully aware of this matter, yet they cannot interrogate each other. Else, the Northern Empire Clan would have surely evade the topic by saying that they haven’t taken control of the Kui Shui Nation, that all was decided solely by the Kui Shui Nation, and unrelated to them. They will never know the extent of our infiltration in Tian Long Nation, similarly we don’t know their level of infiltration in Kui Shui Nation. Princess, what should we do now?”
“The ruler of the Kui Shui Nation will never do such silly thing as to give in. Since the Northern Empire Clan has such boldness, our Southern Empire Clan will certainly match them.” Shui Mengchan thought for a while, then said, “Give order to Shui to have her send a message to my father, tell him that there are changes in the situation. If the Gale Nation will start the war with Tian Long Nation, we must certainly warn the Gale Nation, or maybe eliminate Long Yin in advance.”
“Yes!”

At nightfall, the moon was high above the sky, quiet and calm without wind.
“Brother, how much longer until we reach the destination?” Ning Xue asked as she shrank back into the quilt. Although they were quite a ways from the Ye residence, as long as she was with her brother, it always felt like home.
“We shall reach the destination the day after tomorrow.” Ye Wuchen said while he was standing beside the bed, looking to the south. Today was the nineteenth day of leaving Tian Long City, he always keep track of this.
“When we reach that place and when brother gets the thing you need, can we head home after that?”
“That’s how it should be.” Ye Wuchen smiled and said. He half-closed his eyes and silently pondered. Once they headed home, where shall he go? He needed extreme places just like the volcano wherein one would immediately melt upon approach. That would be the hottest place in the entire Heavenly Star Continent. Where would there be densely packed elements of water, wind, thunder and earth?
“Ah…”
A soft voice cried in surprise and then something that sounded like panting came before something collapsed. Ye Wuchen was woken up from his pondering, “You two must sleep early, I’ll go and check it out.”
After pulling the tent open, Ye Wuchen discovered that it was Meng Zhi’s tent that had collapsed. Meng Zhi bent at the waist and with clumsy hands, she was trying to erect the tent again. Under the moonlight, her bent body transformed into very beautiful curves. Seeing Ye Wuchen come out, her face exposed a pinkish shade that was not easily detected. She stopped what she was doing, bewildered as she stood there on the spot.
Ye Wuchen helplessly smiled, with great interest he said, “The beautiful and graceful Fairy Meng, let me handle this kind of things for you.”
He did not wait for Meng Zhi to respond as he headed straight ahead and tidily erected the tent. Meng Zhi observed his movements, her gaze followed his every action. Her face was still covered by the white veil, only when she first met Xue Feiyan did she expose her real face. Once she calmed herself down, she realized that she made the wrong choice, but it was too late. She was not able to understand was though she never exposed her true face in front strangers before, how could she have easily exposed herself when she was incited. What was she thinking that time?
Ye Wuchen turned around and said, “Fairy Meng, in the future when you kick your own quilt, do not do it so vigorously. In that crazy way of kicking, the tent will fall apart… Oh? No, judging by the spot where it collapsed, it looked like you had accidentally knocked against it when you headed out, it’s very late at night, where do you intend to go?”
Meng Zhi bit her lips and refused to talk. A red shade was bloomed on her face, as she lightly snorted and said, “Do you really need to know where I intended to go?”
For so many days, with him calling her “fairy”, though she had protested so many times, she was still ignored. As time went by, she did not care anymore.
“Fine, indeed I have no rights to know about what you were intending to do, but you must not forget the twenty million taels of silver that you owe me.”
“……”
“Oh, right, where is Beautiful Woman? Why haven’t we seen her?” Ye Wuchen glanced around in suspicion. Beautiful Woman obviously referred to Xue Feiyan. Because there were only two tents, Xue Feiyan had begged to share his bed numerous times but to no avail. Eventually she was distressed and was compelled to sleep with Meng Zhi. Although Meng Zhi was extremely unwilling, she had no choice because the owner of her temporary shelter was Ye Wuchen.
He worried that Meng Zhi might leave, yet he did not care whether Xue Feiyan just voluntarily departed. In the midst of their interaction these past few days, Xue Feiyan had never mentioned the Xue Ji Sword. Instead she demonstrated her distinctive character of being an enchantress in front of Ye Wuchen and when he finally could not resist his sexual urge because of her seduction, she would run away laughing at him, causing him to gnash his teeth with hatred every time. He gradually became doubtful of his original suspicions.
