From a slave to the Great Qian Martial Saint

"Manager Chen, what brings you here to the second gate today?"

"I just happened to run into the Second Master outside the mansion. I'm here to fetch something for him."

As he spoke, Chen Shi went straight into the second gate.

It was just past noon, and everyone was feeling drowsy and tired, so the courtyards were all quiet.

Chen Shi let out a soft sigh, calmed himself down a bit, and walked towards Gu Chengze's courtyard.

As they approached the courtyard gate, Tingyu came over from the side without saying a word. When she brushed past Chen Shi, she gave him a slight nod.

Chen Shi understood, but frowned secretly before stepping into the courtyard.

There were already few people in Gu Chengze's courtyard, and now there wasn't a single person in sight. Apart from those who had sneaked out to be lazy, everyone else had been sent away by Xiao Fengxiao.

After confirming that no one was around, Chen Shi went to Xiao Fengxiao's room.

They went in without knocking or announcing themselves.

He walked through the outer room to the door of the inner room, hesitated slightly, and then reached out to lift the curtain.

Xiao Fengxiao was lying on the couch, turned to the side, as if asleep.

Chen Shi stood there, his face solemn, and hesitated for a moment.

"What are you still standing there for?"

Just as he was struggling internally, Xiao Fengxiao's voice suddenly came.

It turns out she wasn't asleep.

That makes sense; how could she possibly fall asleep at a time like this?

Chen Shi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and stepped into the inner room.

Upon hearing Chen Shi enter, Xiao Fengxiao turned around and looked at him with her phoenix eyes, which resembled two pools of autumn water.

"I've met a mistress..."

"Pfft, at a time like this, you're still giving me all this nonsense."

Xiao Fengxiao couldn't help but chuckle, looking Chen Shi up and down, and biting her lip lightly as if she were being coquettish.

"I was so worried when I heard you were injured."

"I'm fine now."

"Yes, I know, that's why I asked you to come over today."

Xiao Fengxiao spoke softly, unlike her usual self, and whispered.

"I'm a person of my word. Since I promised to grant your wish, I will definitely do it."

"Yes."

"Bullshit! What are you being so reserved for? You're not at all like your usual charming self."

Xiao Fengxiao spat lightly, half reproachfully and half teasingly.

Chen Shi stood there silently, his palms constantly damp with a fine sheen of sweat.

"Look how nervous you are. Okay, go ahead and help me calm down. I wasn't feeling well this morning. Don't worry, I've got everything arranged. We have plenty of time today."

As she spoke, Xiao Fengxiao lay flat on her back and lifted the blanket over herself.

Her sheer nightgown partially concealed her figure, revealing that she had been prepared all along.

Chen Shi was startled and took several deep breaths to calm himself down before slowly extending his hand.

As before, I helped Xiao Fengxiao to smooth her meridians and press her acupoints.

Xiao Fengxiao had obviously gotten used to it and closed her eyes with peace of mind.

After a short while, Xiao Fengxiao suddenly frowned.

Gradually, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper until they were completely knotted together, and suddenly he opened his eyes with a soft moan.

Her once piercing phoenix eyes were now filled with spring-like passion.

Chen Shi knew that the medicine Ting Yu had given him had worked.

At the same time, he was extremely nervous, knowing that the moment that followed would determine his life or death.

"Chen Shi, let your wish come true."

Xiao Fengxiao parted her lips slightly, her breath carrying a pinkish spring-like quality.

Chen Shi stood still, without moving.

"Chen Shi, hurry up!"

Xiao Fengxiao called out again, his voice growing increasingly urgent.

Once the drug takes effect, it is extremely potent, precisely to give the victim no time to think or react.

As she spoke, Xiao Fengxiao reached out to pull Chen Shi.

"Second Madam, please forgive me."

Chen Shi's expression suddenly hardened, and he grabbed Xiao Fengxiao's delicate hand.

……

In early March, the afternoon sun was shining brightly, and the cat on the wall kept meowing, sounding like a child crying.

A full hour later, Chen Shi finally came out of Xiao Fengxiao's room, lowered his head, and quickly left the courtyard.

Only after leaving the courtyard did he finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, no one saw it.

I straightened my clothes, calmed my agitated emotions, and pretended nothing had happened as I stepped out of the second gate.

There was no one outside the second gate at this time.

The servants who used to work there either went off to slack off elsewhere or were assigned other tasks.

That would be even better.

Chen Shi was completely relieved. He hummed a little tune and slowly returned to his duty room.

You seem to be in a good mood.

After taking only a few steps, a voice suddenly rang out. Gu Chengze walked out from behind an archway, staring at Chen Shi with a sinister look on his face.

Chen Shi's heart skipped a beat; he had almost forgotten that the wolf was still waiting for him.

"Keep up."

Gu Chengze gave a soft shout and turned to walk forward.

Chen Shi lowered his head and followed at a leisurely pace.

A moment later, Gu Chengze pushed open the door to a quiet, deserted house and entered.

Chen Shi followed him inside and closed the door again.

Gu Chengze found a place to sit down, staring coldly at Chen Shi, and after a long while asked a question.

"Did you get it done?"

"Reporting back to Second Master, it's done!"

Chen Shi lowered his head and said something somewhat guiltily.

Gu Chengze didn't speak again, but stared at Chen Shi like a jackal until after a long while, he suddenly asked a question.

"How are you feeling?"

"this……"

Chen Shi wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and said with difficulty.

"I'm so nervous I can't eat."

"What a hypocrite! He got a good deal but then complained!"

Gu Chengze snorted coldly, then asked again.

"How is Xiao Fengxiao feeling?"

"that……"

Chen Shi grew increasingly apprehensive, and after a moment of hesitation, he stammered out his answer.

"Second Madam seems to still be enjoying herself."

"Great! That's exactly what I wanted – leaving you wanting more!"

Gu Chengze slapped his thigh, his face beaming with joy.

Lost in thought for a while, he looked at Chen Shi again with a cold gaze.

"Strike while the iron is hot! This time, it's your turn to invite that bitch Xiao Fengxiao out!"

"I……"

Chen Shi opened his eyes wide, his face filled with astonishment.

"Now that I have completed this task, I do not understand why you still need to invite Second Madam."

"I haven't caught that bitch Xiao Fengxiao red-handed yet, how can I consider it done!"

Gu Chengze gave a rebuke, then a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao Fengxiao is very shrewd. If she takes the initiative, she will definitely have all sorts of plans. Even if I know in advance, I won't be able to catch her in the act. Only if you take the initiative to invite her out, catching her off guard, can I capture her in one fell swoop!"

"And then what happens after you get it?"

"Once I have her, she'll be completely at my mercy. Not only will her assets belong to me, but I can even make her go with Feng..."

Halfway through his sentence, Gu Chengze suddenly stopped, glaring fiercely at Chen Shi.

"Just focus on your job, why are you asking so many questions!"

"Yes, yes, I was just curious and asked casually."

"Curiosity killed the cat. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask! Alright, you don't need to be too nervous. As long as you help me complete this task, I'll give you your indenture and Cui Nong's indenture together."

Gu Chengze smiled again, then gave the order in a deep voice.

"There's no time to lose. We can't wait until that bitch Xiao Fengxiao's anger subsides. Tomorrow night, you're going to take her out!"
