He knows himself best When he has made love to a woman, he will certainly be e he can do without for now

If he just did her and left, he will absolutely feel guilty about it in the future

Unless of course, if she is in the flesh trade That will be a different case altogether

He found it difficult to reject her on the spot and used a delaying tactic instead Suppressing his own ed the topic and srateful to you, but I have a question that I hope you can enlighten me!”

Hearing her explanation, Xiang Shaolong is filled with a yearning to take pay a visit to the place In this period of the Warring States, Qi is considered one of the bigger states with rich cultures and tradition Since he is passing by, it will be a pity to give it ahis life is more critical He lost theabout it

Yun Niang leaned onto hienerous, paying us 200 gold ingots for two shows When we arrive, you must remember to collect this payment from him”

Xiang Shaolong was flabbergasted It is an astronomical amount in these ancient ti away their nation’s wealth The saes for five hundred soldiers

Yun Niang coaxed, “I have told you everything; you have yet to tellto show your thanks”

Since there is no way he can avoid the situation, Xiang Shaolong decided to cast aside all his reservations Snaking his hand to hug her thin waist, he was about to pull her into an embrace when the shi+p suddenly braked to a stop Mo at a much slower pace

Fro believed that this Mister Tan has an unusual relationshi+p with Yun Niang

Men are really s He initially regarded Yun Niang’s passion as hisher excited and horny as ain heat, he knew that his ‘love rival’ has appeared, evoking pangs of jealousy With a sour taste in his mouth, he inquired: “Who is Mister Tan?”

An elated Yun Niang has forgotten all about her plans to seduce Xiang Shaolong She ’s Residence, Mister Tan is the most talented man in terms of poetry andas well He didto see our perfor (Fei)!” Finishi+ng her sentence, she exited his roo completely

The shi+ps slowed down to a snail’s pace

When the shi+ps coh for hi’s body shook uncontrollably He has just seen a friend that he has missed for many years

When the friend happened to lay his eyes on Xiang Shaolong, he was stunned as well, and his body shook uncontrollably in response

All the jealousy in his heart has effortlessly vanished and he wondered how many other courtesans as his playboy friend tried aside fro Shaolong went to the shi+p’s hall, wanting to check out Xiao Yuetan’s situation

At the entrance of the shi+p’s hall, he can see Xiao Yuetan introducing his three followers to Feng Fei They are all i Fro can tell that they are very knowledgeable
