Simultaneous Transmigration: Freedom Across the Heavens

Si Lili's pleasure boat is a two-story ship; although it is not the largest, it is the most stylish.

The boat is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and the windows are decorated in an antique style. The cabin is filled with a light fragrance, making it elegant and quiet. It is completely different from other noisy painted boats on the river, and you can tell at a glance that the owner has extraordinary taste.

The waiter led Bai Li to the riverbank.

The maid Xiaohe waited on the deck and bowed to Bai Li, saying, "Young master, Miss Lili invites you in."

Bai Li nodded and stepped onto the ship.

This scene, witnessed by onlookers on the shore, immediately caused an uproar.

"Who is that person? And what gives him the right to board Master Si's pleasure boat?"

"Isn't Master Si closing his doors to visitors today?"

Upon seeing this, the clever servants of noble families turned around and ran back to report to their masters; the dull-witted ones remained standing there, asking all sorts of questions.

Xiaohe puffed out her cheeks, glared at the waiter, and held up four fingers to indicate to him: This young lady wants four taels of silver.

The waiter feigned a bitter expression, nodded in agreement, but couldn't contain his joy inside.

Inside the private room of the pleasure boat, Si Lili sat gracefully beside the tea table, dressed in a white coat covered with a layer of black gauze, which made her skin appear as white as snow.

She saw Bai Li enter, his voice clear and melodious, with a touch of magnetism, gentle yet sharp. He pointed to the chair opposite him and said, "Young master, please take a seat."

Wow, a mature, sophisticated voice!

Bai Li looked up and saw that the woman in front of him had eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes like autumn water, and thin lips painted with rouge. Her gentle opening and closing revealed a charming style.

She truly deserves to be called Kyoto's number one courtesan.

Bai Li thought with admiration, then slowly walked to the tea table and sat down opposite Si Lili.

"May I ask your surname, sir?"

Si Lili picked up the teapot, her jade-like fingers gently twirling, and poured a cup of clear tea, pushing it in front of Bai Li with a gentle smile: "This Ye Mingzhan Baihao Yinzhen is a rare and exquisite tea. I went to great lengths to find just two ounces, which I only used to entertain distinguished guests. Please have a taste, young master."

"Bai Li!"

Bai Li responded calmly, picked up his teacup and took a sip. He looked around at the layout of the private room and thought to himself: This girl, she started with zero frames, using such a strong drug. Is she planning to drug me into a stupor and then take me to the secret room?

After finishing the cup in his hand, Bai Li drank three more cups in a row, smacked his lips, and said, "Is there any more? Two more pots, please."

Si Lili's eyes twitched involuntarily, and she cursed inwardly: Does he think this tea leaf is as cheap as cabbage? But why hasn't he poured it out yet?

Suppressing her anger, Si Lili stood up and said with a graceful smile, "Young Master Bai, please wait a moment."

She walked to the cabinet, her face full of heartache, and took out the Baihao Yinzhen tea. She then added twice the usual dose to the tea, saying, "Drink it, drink it all, I'll make you drink yourself to death..."

Bai Li took a sip of the fresh tea, sighed, put down the teacup, and stared intently at Si Lili.

Si Lili looked completely innocent, half-covering her lips with her sleeve, and said, "What's wrong? Does this tea not suit your taste, young master?"

"Miss Si," Bai Li said with a hint of helplessness, "this tea has gone bad!"

"Hehehe... Is that so?" Si Lili laughed awkwardly a few times, trying to cover up her mistake, "Then maybe I bought a fake. That damned swindler, I'll definitely settle the score with him later."

Seeing Bai Li's expression as if he were looking at her like she was a fool, Si Lili couldn't keep up the act any longer. She lowered her arms, her face turning frosty. "Young Master Bai, let's not beat around the bush. Who are you? Where did you get this information from? What's your purpose in contacting me?"

A classic three-question sequence.

Bai Li leaned back in his chair, a half-smile on his face, and said, "With so many questions, which one should I answer first?"

"Alright, please give me a pot of regular tea first. It's a real shame that this Ye Mingzhan Baihao Yinzhen tea has ended up in your hands."

"You..." Si Lili was furious and raised her hand to slam the table.

Bai Li, quick-witted and outspoken, said, "Do you believe that if I shouted 'Li Lisi' right now, how many spies do you think would appear on the riverbank?"

Si Lili's hand ultimately didn't land on the table; it was only an inch away from the table before she abruptly pulled it back.

She bit her lip, stood up angrily, and said something cowardly in the most defiant tone.

"You wait."

Watching Si Lili's busy figure, Bai Li chuckled. Sensing the commotion on the riverbank, he used his magnetic field to propel the painted boat slowly away from the river.

"Hey, why did Master Si's pleasure boat leave?"

"My goodness, that man on the boat hasn't disembarked yet."

Several noble young men immediately ordered their attendants, "Quickly! Prepare the boats and give chase!"

The attendants dared not slack off and immediately searched for a boat to go ashore. As soon as the boat set off from the riverbank, the attendants shouted, "It's leaking! The bottom of the boat is leaking!" Another chaos ensued.

On the pleasure boat, the captain of the guard noticed something amiss, his brow furrowed, and he asked those around him, "What's going on? Who gave the order to set sail?"

"I don't know, no one gave the order."

"There's something fishy about this."

The captain of the guards raised his long sword, looked around, and ordered, "Leave two men to check the cabin; the rest of you, come with me to protect the crew."

They hadn't taken two steps when they felt a buzzing in their heads, their eyes rolled back, and they fell asleep immediately.

Bang bang bang!

The sound of people falling to the ground echoed all over the pleasure boat. Only two innocent-looking maids in the private room were left, yawning from time to time, looking utterly bored.

Si Lili knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world. After serving the new tea, she stared at Bai Li expressionlessly, as if she wanted to kill him with her eyes. As she looked at him, a thought suddenly popped into her mind: this person is quite handsome.

"Pah!" Si Lili cursed inwardly. "What am I thinking?"

Bai Li, holding his teacup, observed her expression and sighed with feigned regret, "Alas, it's a pity to have tea but no music. I've heard that Master Si's zither playing is unparalleled. I wonder if you could play a piece for me?"

"Don't go too far!" Si Lili said coldly, each word distinct.

Bai Li put her hands to her mouth, as if to call out, "Li..."

"Play, play, play, I'll play, okay?!"

Si Lili immediately admitted defeat, hurriedly covered his mouth, and quickly withdrew her hand, her ears turning red.

She was incredibly frustrated and just wanted to sew his mouth shut, but the drug hadn't worked, and with so many people around, it was really difficult to do it.

I will endure it, and wait until the night is deep and quiet. Then I will smash the cup as a signal, and the henchmen on both sides will rush out, swarming forward and smashing that stinking mouth.

Thinking of this, she chuckled, then quickly suppressed her laughter, her face flushing red. She was internally screaming: "Ugh! This is so embarrassing..."

Seeing her like this, Bai Li's smile deepened, and his interest in her grew even stronger. Oh, what a contrast!

Before long, the sound of a zither filled the private room, accompanied by the sounds of clashing swords and galloping horses, exuding a murderous aura, as if thousands of troops were charging in from all directions, making one's heart tighten.

Bai Li looked out the window; the moonlight was bright. "Listen to me," he said, "shout down loudly."

"Stop, try something gentler."

A smug smile appeared on Si Lili's lips. "I'll play it, but what I play is up to me."

With another flick of the fingertips, the music resumed, its sorrow penetrating to the bone, its desolation filling the strings, a sound that could break one's heart.

Bai Li was speechless. This girl was deliberately trying to go against me, wasn't she?

He suddenly stood up and walked straight to Si Lili.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Si Lili was initially startled, but then she remembered that this was her territory. She straightened her back and said defiantly, "Young Master Bai, I have fulfilled all your requests. What more do you want?"

Although her words were firm, she felt a sudden panic in her heart. The man's gaze was too deep, as if he could see through all her pretenses, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
