What did she think? She thought... thought...

  Business is business, who would be in love with him?!

  Sigh, my head hurts so much, the more I think about it these past few days, the more my head hurts. Why always give her difficult problems? What is there to think about? She wants to get benefits from him, to monopolize his West Desert's rare and exotic fragrances and medicines, and her body is also monopolized. The carefree journey on the Spring River is out of reach, and she is afraid... afraid that something will secretly creep into her heart, like that purple Acacia forest, quiet yet strongly rooting into the soil, tightly entwined.

  Don't think! Don't think!

  " owner, why are you slapping yourself? Don't hit, don't hit! Oh dear! Did the little maids add the human-shaped poisonous ginseng tomato we received this morning into the incense and fumigate the owner's boudoir? We clearly instructed that the poisonous ginseng tomato is spirited and needs to be carefully looked after—" Jin Chai Ke suddenly exclaimed again. "Right, Lan Qi'er went to 'Fei Xia Lou' with you today, and she's still in the owner's boudoir. It's dangerous, inhaling too much can be fatal!" Saving people upstairs is urgent!

  Grabbing the person, Hua Duo Mei sighed irritably. "I'm fine. Lan Qi'er is also fine."

  After slapping her cheeks red, she even pinched them.

  To sober up, her eyes became experienced, and she refocused her attention on the man and woman who came to "seek medical treatment" in the hall. "Let's deal with this pair first. Have someone prepare the 'Dragon Charm Incense'. It might be useful later."

  The "mysterious great hero" visiting "Fei Xia Lou" today, if his title were to be spread, both the underworld and the righteous would have to give him some face. However, despite his great reputation, his male organ was no longer useful to look at. This hidden ailment became the great hero's most painful wound. After seeking help in vain, and through the repeated efforts of Aunt Shuang's connections, he finally gritted his teeth and brought his newly married young wife to experience it.

  In the first-floor Xia Room, figures intertwined behind the gauze curtain.

  Three Jin Chai Ke closely instructed and cared for them, while the remaining ones either sat or leaned around. The intoxicating fragrance wafted. The scent was something the beauties in "Fei Xia Lou" were already accustomed to, but it allowed the "sickly" person behind the gauze curtain to gradually relax his thoughts and stop being so tense.

  They looked, they touched, they kissed. Their eyes observed the passion, their fingers entertained themselves, and their lips tasted the rich fragrance. Every step proceeded relatively smoothly.

  Under the guidance and timely assistance of Jin Chai Ke, the woman, using the posture that best allowed the man to last, became one with him.

  "...Be careful, slowly, we can't rush. Come, this little sister, follow big sister to twist your water snake waist and shake your peach buttocks... Yes, very good, continue to ride with this strength, don't stop, hehehe... Great hero, don't be afraid either. Remember the breathing and exhaling method taught just now. The sister rides her, and you let her ride you. Don't think too much, adjusting your breath is the most important thing!"

  "Yes, first seek 'the pillar of heaven' to last, and then seek to reach the ultimate beauty of union. Men need to nourish yang, and women need to nourish yin. Yin and yang will be in harmony for eternal youth. Harvesting essence and replenishing the brain can prolong life. This is the strongest manifestation of 'Fei Xia Lou's' secret techniques—"

  Jin Chai Ke soothed and explained, but unexpectedly, the great hero was still nervous and still couldn't hold on!

  "I... ah... no... I'm about to fail..." The man lying flat held his wife's waist. The pillar couldn't hold for long before it wanted to collapse.

  The woman hadn't truly enjoyed herself yet!

  It collapsed just like that, did he have any man's decency?!

  "Want to leave? Not so easy!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Hua Duo Mei shouted in a clear and sweet voice. She picked up the five golden needles that had been heated with "Dragon Charm Incense" and prepared beside her, and pushed through the layers of gauze curtains.

  Jin Chai Ke temporarily helped the embarrassed and slightly startled noble female guest down and covered her bare body with a thin towel for warmth. Before the great hero could react, Hua Duo Mei pressed his lower abdomen and inserted the golden needles into his Dantian. The last needle was inserted into the lumbar vertebrae on the man's back with the help of the other four Jin Chai Ke, who subdued and manipulated him, successfully injecting the medicine.

  This consecutive needle insertion technique, especially the last one at the lumbar vertebrae, was precisely the famous and notorious "One Strike Technique" of "Fei Xia Lou". Now, with the addition of "Dragon Charm Incense", how could it not be successful?

  "I, I feel... wait... wait..." The great hero frowned in pain. He had never felt so uncomfortable even when practicing martial arts to the point of going mad. Being forced to "grow up" was not fun at all!

  "Inside Fei Xia Lou's purple gauze curtains, men have no say!" The Jin Chai Ke quickly covered his mouth with their fragrant hands, preventing him from crying out and scaring his beloved wife.

  This side, as expected, did not disappoint the women. The secret techniques of "Fei Xia Lou" combined with "Dragon Charm Incense" were truly like adding wings to a tiger, making it indestructible. The male yang, which had been lifeless, instantly revived and slowly grew stronger. However, to transform it into a proud dragon escaping into the sky, a little more effort was still needed.

  Removing the golden needles, Hua Duo Mei took out a small bottle from her怀 and handed it to the noble female guest.

  "Rub this honey oil into your palms, warm it up, and then rub your man's treasure to help him."

  "Ah? I... but..." The noble female guest was surprised and uncertain, her face flushed red. She dared not reach out to take it, her eyes shifting between the bottle of honey oil and the man being held down by several Jin Chai Ke.

  One of the Jin Chai Ke chuckled encouragingly. "That honey oil is very precious! Don't be shy, no one is allowed to be shy today. Our women's 'sexual' happiness depends on ourselves! Otherwise, let our owner take action, and let the owner's jade hand rub your man with honey oil, and the little sister will watch carefully from the side, and then use the same method to make your man fly like a dragon."

  Suddenly, all eyes seemed to focus.

  Hua Duo Mei's heart trembled violently, and a strange buzzing sound echoed in her ears. Her blood seemed to rush to her forehead.

  Her head felt swollen, heavy, and numb, and her temples felt a slight pain.

  What was wrong with her?

  Was she hesitating?

  What made her hesitate and be astonished?

  " owner, hurry! Don't lose the opportunity! If you don't help rub it soon, the 'Dragon Charm Incense' will wear off, and he'll go soft again!"

  Rub... what should she rub?

  Her misty eyes blinked confusedly, finally landing on the man's erect part. Subconsciously, she glanced at the small bottle of honey oil in her hand, then at her own lubricated fingers, and then her gaze returned to the man's crotch.

  Suddenly, panic cut through her heart like a sharp blade.

  She choked, almost losing her breath.

  " owner, why are you acting silly?"

  "Alas, I said it, that human-shaped poisonous ginseng tomato is not easy to deal with. Don't bring it into the building, it's very evil! Look, the owner has been possessed by evil!"

  She was indeed "possessed" by evil, no longer like herself.

  Evil, get lost!

  "I'll leave it to you all. I... I have a stomachache, I need to go to the latrine!" Hurriedly making an excuse, she threw down the honey oil bottle and ran out without looking back.

  The beauties in the Xia Room raised their eyebrows and looked at each other. "You look at me, I look at you."

  "It seems the stomachache is really severe." Someone stated authoritatively.

  "Yes, yes!" They all nodded.

  "Then who will take over to rub and knead the great hero?" Don't let the effort be in vain!

  Just as several Jin Chai Ke extended their delicate hands, intending to draw straws according to the old rule to decide who would "substitute", the noble female guest finally mustered up her courage to fight for her own happiness—

  "...I... I'll do it..." Picking up the honey oil small bottle and holding it against her chest, the great hero's little tender wife was extremely shy.

  It was not that she couldn't do it, but that it was not within Hua Duo Mei's purview.

  But why "not do it"?

  She lowered her eyes, staring blankly at her own hands. Her ten fair fingers moved. She looked at them so carefully, as if those hands had never been hers.

  Touching the man's burning primal yang, and holding and stroking it with her hands, was also one of "Fei Xia Lou's" secret techniques. How many such scenes had she seen in the building before? She had learned and done it.

  She learned it thoroughly and did it well.

  The man was held in her soft palm, and the stern contours of his face would blur at this time. He would sometimes tilt his head and let out hoarse moans, and sometimes lock his lustful deep eyes on her, as if silently begging, begging her lips and her little tongue to caress him in the same way as those soft hands... The man's dark hair was slightly sweaty, his skin flushed red, appearing both painful and extremely joyful, making her feel proud and accomplished, and she felt both pity and love for him, because a fierce beast was willing to lie at her mercy, longing for her touch...

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  Suddenly, her heart was struck fiercely.

  She let out a low gasp and realized that only one man's face kept appearing in her mind!

  He was her first man, and her second, third, and fourth men were still nowhere in sight!

  She had only experienced carefree joy with one man, serving him with all the secret techniques she had learned, using him as practice. She had seen countless couples making love, even men with men, one with many, and hundreds of pairs in chaotic battles, but the only one she had truly experienced was him.

  Only him.

  So, was she trapped?

  So, her hands only wanted to touch him, her lips only wanted to kiss him, and her body only became wet and soft in his arms? Is that it? Is that it?

  Hua Duo Mei, you're finished!

  "I don't... I don't..." She wanted to argue, to refute the almost mocking voice in her heart, but her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak with conviction.

  She had jumped into the Spring River, but she couldn't be carefree?

  So, you're finished!

  No, no! Don't think about it! Don't think about it! She shook her head and flicked her hands in annoyance. The silver chains between her ankles brushed against the chestnut wood floor. For three years, she had been accustomed to the crisp, subtle sound, but now it made her heart feel sour and blocked, and she didn't know what was wrong with her.

  Lazily climbing back to the third floor, the entire row of sunshades in the corridor had already tilted down. She walked past in a daze, the gentle autumn sun filtering through the carved window openings dappling her body, following her as she moved.

  Entering her own fragrant boudoir, her shoulders suddenly trembled. The purple gauze curtains were gently fluttering, and the scent of jasmine was flowing. The straw curtain on the rooftop seemed to have been lifted, making the room feel cool.

  "Lan Qi'er?" She thought the beautiful girl who had accompanied her to "Fei Xia Lou" today was on the rooftop looking at the clouds. "It's already late autumn, it's very cold outside. Did you put on an extra layer of clothing? Come in quickly, sister will make tea for you—" As she called out lightly, her bare feet stepped onto the rooftop. She looked up, and her breathing suddenly stopped.

  Outside the rooftop, a slender and elegant figure stood motionlessly.

  Lan Qi'er's eyes, which hadn't focused on anyone for a long, long time, now finally had a destination in their pupils. They were dimly, dreamily fixed on the stranger standing in the wind, not blinking for a moment.

  The man was dressed in light gray, his eyes and hair unusually dark. His black jade-like pupils were also staring intently at Lan Qi'er, as if he had searched with all his might but couldn't find her. Suddenly, the person he had been longing for appeared before him, but he dared not touch or speak, for fear that it was just an illusion born of excessive longing.

  Her heart "thumped" and trembled. The silent yet surging gazes of the man and woman before her made Hua Duo Mei unable to react for a moment, as if disturbing them was a great sin. It wasn't until the man extended a hand towards Lan Qi'er, palm up, waiting for her to walk towards him, that Hua Duo Mei suddenly came back to her senses.

  "Lan Qi'er!" She rushed forward and stood in front of the girl who was foolishly reaching for the large hand, raising her clean chin like a hen protecting her chick, her eyes filled with vigilance.

  The man in gray slightly furrowed his brows. "Let her come over."

  "Who are you?"

  "Let her come over. She needs me." He said proudly, as if he couldn't be bothered to say more.

  Hua Duo Mei was furious.

  "You trespassed into my 'Fei Xia Lou', acting like a petty thief! Thieves at least have some shame and know to avoid the owner. You, on the other hand, are openly committing indecent acts and bullying people right in front of the owner? She needs you? Humph, why not say you need her?"

  The man's face turned even uglier, his pupils flickering, and his gaze once again fell on the girl behind her.

  Despite trying to steady herself and maintain her composure with anger, Hua Duo Mei was actually very frightened internally. She thought, her "Fei Xia Lou" was always full of lively girls, even if they didn't need "medical treatment and instruction," the seventy-two beauties could always find excuses to entertain themselves and make the whole building noisy. Yet this man, able to avoid everyone's eyes and climb onto the rooftop, had even more covert means than when Lei Sa Lang broke into her boudoir back then. Clearly, his abilities were superior to hers. If he insisted on taking Lan Qi'er, if he forced his way... Secretly, she pinched the golden needle heated with bewitching incense in her hair, planning to resort to dirty tricks if she couldn't resist him.

  "Lie Er Zhen!" A powerful shout suddenly cut in.

  Hearing that loud shout, the familiar voice made Hua Duo Mei's heart settle.

  A fourth person entered the small rooftop.

  Lei Sa Lang rushed in, his movements too large and his force too strong, resulting in the destruction of both straw curtains.

  As soon as he arrived, he pulled the two girls behind him, his sturdy body standing like a small mountain in front of Hua Duo Mei and her sister.

  "How long are you going to pester her?" he asked, his voice steady despite his shock and anger.

  "I'm taking her away." It was clear to everyone present who "her" referred to.

  "Impossible," Lei Sa Lang replied decisively.

  The man pretending to be "Lie Er Zhen" looked stubborn, a faint smile playing on his lips. He said no more, his light gray figure suddenly flew down and disappeared from the rooftop.

  Lei Sa Lang's deep gaze had not yet retracted when a sound of falling came from behind him.

  He turned his head at the sound and saw Hua Duo Mei, who had collapsed on the ground, her beautiful face slightly flushed with excitement, her bright eyes staring at Lan Qi'er.

  "What's wrong?" He stiffened and turned back.

  "Lan Qi'er spoke... I, I heard her speak..." She had never known that soft, hoarse voice could be so moving.

  Lei Sa Lang was also quite shocked. His deep-eyed, high-nosed face flashed with surprise.

  He quickly looked at his sister, but when Lan Qi'er moved her lips to speak again, the name that came out of her small mouth made his eyebrows furrow and his temples twitch.

  "Lie Er Zhen..."

  Lan Qi'er gazed at the direction where the man in gray had left, whispering.

  The disturbance of the day finally subsided. In the end, they had to bring out the "Calming Incense" that hadn't been used for a long time and burn it before Lan Qi'er could close her eyes and sleep.

  Lei Sa Lang leaned against the outside of his sister's sleeping chamber, accompanied by the gentle breeze and bright moon of "Lang Ping Shui Xie". He stopped at the door, subconsciously listening to the singing from inside the chamber. The melody was low, gentle, and warm, reminding him of the chirping of orioles on a gentle West Desert night, and a strange warmth spread through his chest.

  After wiping away the tears of the person who had finally fallen asleep, Hua Duo Mei instructed the maids to take turns looking after her before getting up and stepping out of the sleeping chamber. As soon as she stepped out, her gaze met Lei Sa Lang's, who was waiting outside.

  "Lan Qi'er is asleep," she said faintly.

  "Mm," he responded softly.

  She pursed her lips, looking as if she had something to say, but in the end, she remained silent and walked towards her own elegant room. The man followed, walking alongside her.

  Her gauze sleeves swayed as she moved, and were suddenly caught by something. She paused, lowered her head to look, and dully realized that her small hand was being held by his large palm.

  The man was holding her hand...

  Oh... so pure, it doesn't quite fit her personality!

  She was an unparalleled beauty, a hundred flowers, and shouldn't be associated with the word "pure"! But her heart felt soft and warm, and she didn't want to break free...

  "Are your legs okay now?" Lei Sa Lang asked casually, holding her hand, his steps so slow they could be called leisurely.

  "No... I'm fine." Speaking of this, Hua Duo Mei really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

  That confrontation this afternoon, her legs had gone weak!

  At first, she was too tense and on guard. After the crisis was averted, she suddenly heard Lan Qi'er speak for the first time, and she collapsed on the ground. In the end, she had to be carried by the man.

  As soon as something happened, she gave a few instructions to Aunt Shuang, and then she and he brought Lan Qi'er back to the water pavilion... Hmm... Well, actually, he carried the weak-legged her and the tearful Lan Qi'er back in his arms.

  Grinding her teeth, she felt she should explain a little, to maintain the dignity of a " owner". She said, "That's Great Master Lei Sa Lang's 'precious darling'. Of course, I was afraid Lan Qi'er would be snatched away! If something really happened, and you, Great Master, were to pursue it, this owner would have to bear the responsibility. Nine of my heads wouldn't be enough for you to chop off! I—" Her body was gently pulled over, her waist was embraced, and her lips were kissed.

  After the kiss, his rough fingers gently stroked her warm cheek. The man's gaze was somewhat strange.

  Hua Duo Mei looked back at him, her heart beating faster, and leaned softly against his chest, her posture naturally seductive, without needing to deliberately pose. Her lips parted slightly, as if about to say something, but he preempted her with a question.

  "I heard there was a distinguished guest visiting 'Fei Xia Lou' today?"

  Her delicate eyebrows slightly raised.

  "Yes, a pair of a man and a woman came to seek guidance..." She paused, and then as if she suddenly realized, the slightly upturned corner of her mouth let out a faint哼. "I was still wondering, why did Great Master Lei Sa Lang not lead his group of tall and strong subordinates to do business this morning, but instead had time to break into my 'Fei Xia Lou'? Hehe, I suppose you were afraid I would corrupt your precious sister, and have the twelve Jin Chai Ke take Lan Qi'er to observe and learn together?" She patted his chest with her small hand. "Don't be afraid, don't be surprised. I wouldn't treat Lan Qi'er so badly. If I were to have her observe, I would take her to peep at the 'Liu Hong Yuan's' annual hundred-person bed-fighting battle! We have a good relationship with the madam there, so peeking at a few rounds wouldn't be a problem."

  This woman habitually spoke half-jokingly and half-seriously. Some were true, some were false, and the true ones were not necessarily true, and the false ones were not necessarily false. If time were rewound three years ago, Lei Sa Lang might have been provoked to anger, but things were different now. He gradually began to grasp some of her veiled thoughts and peer deeper.

  "I didn't know Lan Qi'er was also here when I came to 'Fei Xia Lou'," he whispered.

  "Then you came looking for me?" She tilted her head in confusion.

  Little did she know, the man suddenly pursed his lips and remained silent. His dark, deep pupils were still strange. She guessed it was the moonlight, the starlight, and the purple Acacia forest. They always made the night at the water pavilion gentle and strange, dyeing his dark complexion with a hint of dark red.

  Lei Sa Lang admitted to himself that he had indeed come for her.

  This afternoon, when he and his subordinates passed the stone sculpture pavilion by the willow bank again, they happened to encounter the younger sister of the Hua family and the four young maids she had recently taken in. It was only after Hua Yu Hong informed him that he learned that "Fei Xia Lou" had distinguished guests visiting today.

  He knew what "Fei Xia Lou" lived on, and he had heard of the bold methods of the seventy-two beauties. He also understood that as the owner, her actions and thoughts were shocking and could not be treated as an ordinary woman.

  She and he had promised each other that her body would only belong to him, until their business cooperation ended.

  He had always trusted her and never doubted her.

  But trust was trust. Every time he heard that men and women came to seek medical treatment, it was one thing to see the live performances, but the thought that she sometimes had to teach and escort them made him feel stifled and impulsive, wanting to rush over and cover her alluring eyes.

  It couldn't go on like this. He had to find a way to solve it completely!

  Hua Duo Mei couldn't guess his change of heart.

  With one hand resting on his chest, she clearly felt the firm muscles beneath his clothes. Her fingertips moved slightly, recalling her rejection of other male bodies in "Fei Xia Lou" today... Alas, this was definitely not a good thing, but she seemed to be losing control. Something was quietly changing, and she couldn't stop it.

  He didn't explain, and she didn't want to ask further, as there were more puzzling matters at hand.

  Breathing calmly, she deliberately lowered her tone and said, "That man named Lie Er Zhen, you and your subordinates mentioned him a few days ago at the stone sculpture pavilion. He is now the leader of your West Desert tribe, isn't he?"

  Lei Sa Lang had expected her to ask sooner. Hearing her finally ask, he was actually quite pleased.

  She didn't seem to care much about him.

  Apart from the business dealings of spices and medicines, she had never asked much about him. However, he was also inexplicably stimulated by her detachment. He thought her outwardly wanton and charming appearance was enough to hide her cold heart, and the more she acted that way, the more he was provoked to tease her.

  Heaven knows, every time he saw Lan Qi'er and her so close, his throat would feel sour. He couldn't figure out if it was because his sister was being taken away by her, so he felt upset; or if it was because Lan Qi'er received her genuine care, so he was sadly jealous of his own sister?

  He nodded. "Yes. Lie Er Zhen is the Wolf Lord of the West Desert."

  "And the previous Wolf Lord was you?" The conversation he had with his subordinates that day had been lingering in her mind. How could she not think about it?

  Her thick, bushy eyebrows raised slightly. "Yes."

  "Then... can you satisfy this owner's strong curiosity? Why didn't Great Master Lei Sa Lang continue to be your majestic Wolf Lord, but instead handed over the position?"

  Here it comes again.

  She asked a serious question in a joking tone, as if afraid of revealing how serious she was.

  She was always like this.

  Lei Sa Lang did not answer immediately. Instead, he cupped her neck with one hand, tilting her beautiful face up to his, forcing her to face him directly.

  "Before satisfying the owner's curiosity, please satisfy my curiosity first."

  "Mm?" Hua Duo Mei hummed softly in confusion.

  "Why are you suddenly curious about my affairs?"

  Her clear eyes widened slightly, her pupils sparkling. She seemed to be trying hard to think of an answer. Only when her earlobes had already warmed her cheeks did she reluctantly utter,

  "It's not that I'm curious about you, I... I'm doing it for Lan Qi'er."

  Lei Sa Lang narrowed his eyes, remained silent, waiting for her to finish speaking.

  "I've thought about it carefully. Perhaps Lan Qi'er should go with Lie Er Zhen and live with that man."

  The woman's delicate lips pursed, and she said, exhaling like orchids.
