Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

Thinking of this, Gu Shenge downed the wine in her glass in one gulp, and then...

"Ugh! This tastes awful!"

As soon as Gu Shenge put it in her mouth and tasted the flavor, she immediately spat it out.

No, it's too awful to drink. It's hard to swallow. Although it has a hint of alcohol, it's very weak, extremely weak. Moreover, it has a bitter taste. Gu Shenge didn't know how else to describe it, but it was just awful!

"Is this wine not to your liking, young master?"

Zi Nu was surprised to see Gu Shenge spit out the wine as soon as it entered his mouth. This was supposed to be the best wine from Zi Lan Xuan.

Gu Shenge nodded, and said with a hint of apology:

"It's true that some of the drinks don't suit my taste. Maybe it's because I've been drinking too much alcohol from my own region, so I don't really feel anything when I drink other kinds of alcohol."

"I see."

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu moved her wine cup back slightly, glanced at Gu Shenge's exquisite attire from the Heavenly Dou Empire, deliberately leaned closer to him, and asked:

"Judging from your appearance and attire, you do not seem to be from Korea. May I ask where you are from? Would you be willing to tell Zi Nu?"

Gu Shenge's nose twitched slightly as she caught a faint, elegant violet scent emanating from Zi Nu—her natural fragrance. Gu Shenge smiled slightly and said:

“We are indeed not from Korea. I come from the Heavenly Dou Empire. Miss Zi Nu can call me Emperor Zhao.”

"No wonder. But where exactly is the Heavenly Dou Empire?"

Her Zilan Pavilion's guests included not only Koreans, but also people from seven other countries, and even occasionally some barbarian tribes, but none of them had ever heard of the Tiandou Empire.

Gu Shenge beckoned to Zi Nu to come closer. Zi Nu had just moved forward a little when a hand as fast as lightning grabbed her slender waist and pulled her into an embrace.

"So fast!" A hint of surprise flashed in Zi Nu's beautiful eyes. She was a top-notch fighter, but she hadn't even had time to react before she was embraced.

"That's better."

Gu Shenge smiled and pulled Zi Nu into his arms, his hands wrapping around her slender waist from behind. It was incredibly soft, and he especially loved the faint scent of violets.

"This guy!"

Zi Nu tried to struggle free, but found that Gu Shenge's hand was as firm and heavy as a thousand-pound lock, and she couldn't break free at all.

Seeing Zi Nu in trouble, Nong Yu, who was playing the zither behind the screen, wanted to help, but Zi Nu stopped her with a look, telling her not to act rashly. Instead, she smiled sweetly at Gu Shenge and said:

"So this is what you like, young master. But, you're squeezing me a little too tight, perhaps you could loosen your grip a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shenge smiled and loosened her grip slightly. Zi Nu felt the hand on her waist loosen a little, but she still couldn't break free.

"Miss Zi Nu, how are you feeling?"

Seeing the playful smile on Gu Shenge's lips, Zi Nu wanted nothing more than to slap him across the face with her red ribbon, but she still forced a smile and said:

"Thank you for your understanding, young master. I'm fine!"

The two clinked glasses again, seemingly laughing and chatting, but their relationship was merely a facade. Zi Nu probed Gu Shenge's background, playing hard to get, while Gu Shenge took full advantage of Zi Nu, leaving the owner of Zi Lan Xuan feeling extremely aggrieved, yet she could only greet him with a smile.

In Xinzheng City, there was a luxurious and imposing mansion. At the main gate, four soldiers stood guard, gripping their sword hilts tightly. Their eyes were sharp, cold, and indifferent. They were battle-hardened soldiers.

The mansion was even more luxurious, with artificial hills, waterside pavilions, lakes and gardens. The houses inside were carved and inlaid with jade, comparable to palaces. The most eye-catching thing was a magnificent nine-story pavilion that resembled a birdcage. You could faintly hear a woman crying inside.

Soldiers patrolled the mansion at all times, and assassins secretly monitored it. This was the residence of Ji Wuye, the great general of the Han Dynasty.

A dark figure leaped across the rooftops without alerting the soldiers, while the assassin watching from the shadows ignored the figure. Clutching his waist, he ran towards a luxurious little palace and soon entered it.

Chapters 171-170: Night Raid on Lady Mingzhu's Palace

Inside the General's Palace, Mo Ya, clutching his burned wound, knelt on one knee before the Emperor, reporting on Gu Shenge's situation to Ji Wuye, who sat in the main seat embracing two beauties.

After a long while, Ji Wuye listened to Mo Ya's report and his expression became somewhat puzzled. He knew Mo Ya's speed and agility. Looking at Mo Ya's burned right waist, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You're saying you got injured even though you saw that person's movements clearly?"

"Yes, General."

Mo Ya answered with his head down. Ji Wuye pondered. Coming to Xinzheng at this time was very suspicious. He was about to rob the military pay. No, he had to find out the origin of that mysterious guy. He was with the Ninth Prince. It seemed he had to invite him over.

"I understand, you may leave now."

Ji Wuye waved for Mo Ya to leave, then continued to indulge in the two beauties in his arms. Xinzheng was his territory. No matter how fast that mysterious guy was, once he mobilized a large army to surround and annihilate him, a barrage of arrows would leave him either dead or crippled.

Mo Ya clutched his side and respectfully withdrew. As he walked out the door, Bai Feng appeared beside him. He looked at Mo Ya's injured waist with horror in his eyes.

"How could someone actually hurt you?! How fast was that person?!"

"I don't know. In the blink of an eye, I was injured. Moreover, the man deliberately didn't hit my abdomen; he just gave me a warning."

As soon as Mo Ya finished speaking, seeing Bai Feng's eager expression, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face, and he instructed him:

"I advise you to give up that idea; I don't want to be your corpse collector."

"I understand. But is your injury serious?"

After hearing Mo Ya's instructions, Bai Feng finally gave up the idea of ​​challenging Gu Shenge to a speed contest.

He looked at Mo Ya's abdomen, which he was clutching, and then, taking advantage of Mo Ya's inattention, reached out and slapped it.

Mo Ya's expression changed instantly. It really hurt! This guy! He's asking for it! He was just about to teach Bai Feng a lesson when he realized he had disappeared. Bai Feng had already jumped onto the roof and run away. But Mo Ya wasn't going to let him go. He clutched his waist and chased after him.

Half an hour later, outside Gu Shenge's private room in Zilan Pavilion, a young man dressed in black with gold decorations, with gray hair tied with a gold headdress, cold and arrogant eyes, and a handsome and unruly face walked in.

He was just about to knock when he heard the door open.

The door to the private room opened, and Gu Shenge walked out, still savoring the moment.

"Ah~ that feels so good."

Gu Shenge looked satisfied, swayed her waist, and patted her back. Although she didn't get in in the end, there would be another chance. She would take it one step at a time and not rush.

He turned his head to Zi Nu, who was slumped on the ground, her purple robes somewhat disheveled, and said:

"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Zi Nu. I will come again next time, and I hope you will host me again next time."

Upon hearing this, Zi Nu's eyes flashed with shame and anger. Here we go again! If she weren't outmatched by Gu Shenge, she would have already whipped him to death with the Crimson Serpent!

He turned his head, looked at Wei Zhuang who was blocking his way, smiled at this disciple of Guigu, and then walked past him.

"Who is he?"

Wei Zhuang watched as Zi Nu slowly rose and straightened her clothes, and asked her a question. Zi Nu looked at Gu Shenge's retreating figure as she went downstairs, her beautiful eyes filled with shame and indignation, and said:

"A nobleman from another country, with an extraordinary background, and also extremely lecherous!"

As she spoke, Zi Nu's grip tightened unconsciously, and her face flushed. Wei Zhuang was surprised when he heard this; he had never seen Zi Nu so angry before. It seemed that the guy had done something very wrong to Zi Nu.

…………

The night sky was as black as ink, filled with countless stars, scattering their light, while the bright moon hung high, casting its cool moonlight.

The Han King's Palace under the night sky.

The palaces are scattered like stars, arranged in an undulating pattern, and are magnificent in scale. Each one was carefully designed and built by skilled craftsmen, with exquisite carvings and jade-like railings, each with its own unique characteristics. Placed in a modern city, each one is a treasure of civilization.

To the east stands a luxurious and elegant palace, faintly shrouded in an eerie purple aura that keeps mosquitoes and snakes at bay.

Inside the palace, the layout is unique, exquisite and luxurious, yet simple. Against the palace walls are sandalwood shelves that resemble medicine cabinets, and each small drawer on the shelf is carefully labeled to prevent people from taking the wrong one.

A delicate, alluring purple incense wafted from the exquisitely crafted interior, enveloping the entire palace. Some of the fragrance drifted out through the half-open windows, intoxicating the mind and spirit, drawing people into its beautiful illusion, making them unable to extricate themselves, and thus turning them into puppets of the palace's master.

A magnificent, semi-transparent purple screen stands in the palace, its surface adorned with exquisitely carved images of alluring beauties.

Behind the screen, a semi-transparent black gauze draped over a spacious bed, and through the gaps in the gauze, one could vaguely see a beautiful, alluring, and enchanting enchantress lying on the bed.

A gentle breeze drifted into the palace through the cracks in the windows, carrying away the alluring fragrance. The sheer curtains swayed in the wind, like the hem of a beautiful woman's skirt, making the enchanting beauty on the bed appear and disappear within the curtains, creating a hazy, mysterious atmosphere that made one want to tear them open and explore.

Behind the sheer curtain, the peerless enchantress rested one hand on her delicate and beautiful face, her alluring, narrow eyes gently closed, as if she were in a daze.

But she was soon awakened.

Suddenly, an extremely dazzling golden light appeared, illuminating the dimly lit palace and coating it with a layer of gold.

The stunningly beautiful enchantress, who had been feigning sleep, suddenly opened her long, alluring eyes. Her voluptuous and seductive body rose from the bed, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes. A purple aura gathered in her palm, emitting a strange fragrance that bewitched the mind, making them unable to extricate themselves from the enchanting environment.

As the golden light faded, Gu Shenge's true form was revealed. When Madam Mingzhu saw him, a hint of surprise flashed in her enchanting eyes. How could there be such a handsome man in this world! Even her cousin was not as good-looking as him.

But Lady Mingzhu was not swayed by male beauty. A smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face, alluring and seductive. Her pink lips parted slightly, and her voice was charming and seductive.

"What brings you to my bedchamber so late at night?"

Suddenly, Gu Shenge's figure disappeared from Madam Mingzhu's sight. She thought to herself that something was wrong and was about to look for his whereabouts when a pair of large hands wrapped around her slender waist and held her tightly in her arms. A gentle voice also came to her ear.

"Madam, there's no need to be nervous. I'm not a bad person and I won't hurt you. I just want to check if you have anything I'm looking for."

Gu Shenge embraced Madam Mingzhu's slender waist and lay down on the bed. Looking at the alluring and enchanting beauty in his arms, his nose twitched slightly. The faint fragrance of a virgin mixed with seductive incense was irresistible.

Madam Mingzhu's narrow phoenix eyes revealed a hint of horror. She had not sensed the presence or movement of the person in front of her at all. If he wanted to kill her, she would probably already be dead.

Chapters 172-171: The Glowing Green King of Han

Gu Shenge released Madam Mingzhu's soft waist. The moment he touched her, the system's power had already invaded her body, carefully examining this stunningly beautiful and alluring enchantress, but found no trace of the chat group.

It seems she wasn't selected as a member of the chat group.

Given the nature of chat groups, the members would inevitably be important figures in the world, and there are very few important people in the Han royal palace.

Lady Mingzhu, Prince Han An, Princess Honglian, Lady Hu, and the Crown Prince are all characters who appear in The Legend of Qin.

After ruling out Madam Mingzhu's suspicion, only a few remain.

Princess Honglian can also be ruled out. When the system sees her again, it's impossible that it wouldn't detect the chat group within her body. Since there was no notification, she probably isn't a member of the chat group.

Seeing Gu Shenge lost in thought, Madam Mingzhu's bewitching eyes flashed with a strange light. She opened her arms and hugged Gu Shenge directly, placing her palms on Gu Shenge's chest. This caused Gu Shenge's expression to change slightly, and her body to tremble. She thought to herself, "This vixen!"

Madam Mingzhu's alluring face drew close to his ear, her rounded lips parted slightly, exhaling a fragrant breath, her voice charming and soft, carrying a bewitching allure.

"What are you thinking about? Can you tell me?"

As she spoke, Madam Mingzhu's slender fingers gently slid across Gu Shenge's chest, her touch soft and slightly provocative.

She truly deserves to be called a femme fatale who brings ruin to the country and its people. Just a moment ago I was wary of her, and now she's starting to seduce people.

Gu Shenge felt the softness of Madam Mingzhu behind him. At the same time, wisps of purple incense gradually enveloped Gu Shenge as Madam Mingzhu moved her fingers. They entered his body with Gu Shenge's breath, but before they could take effect, they were refined by the solar soul power within Gu Shenge's body.
