The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

The two stared at each other for a long time, remaining silent.

"How are you?"

Cao Yuan broke the silence by speaking first.

The snow woman's expression was somewhat complicated.

She left Jinghu Medical Clinic several months ago, intending to go to South Korea to find Cao Yuan.

When passing through Handan in the State of Zhao, I met Sister Yafei and stayed at Feixue Pavilion for a few days.

Then I learned from Sister Yafei that Cao Yuan now has a large number of wives and concubines in South Korea.

After several investigations and verifications, she was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

Hesitant and uncertain, he temporarily went into semi-seclusion at Sister Yafei's place.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Cao Yuan here today.

Is it really fate?

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

The unfamiliar words made Cao Yuan realize that Xue Nu had become somewhat distant from him.

At that moment, a dashing woman called out to the Snow Maiden from inside the pavilion.

The Snow Woman responded, then said to Cao Yuan, "Do you want to come in?"

Cao Yuan nodded and followed Xue Nu inside.

Upon entering the pavilion, Cao Yuan saw Consort Ya.

Back then, outside Handan city, Ya Fei's heroic spirit left a deep impression on him.

"Hehe, it's you. Are you here to see Xue'er?"

When Ya Fei saw Cao Yuan following behind Zi Nu, her expression was ambiguous, as if she were smiling but not smiling.

For her, it didn't matter whether Cao Yuan had many wives and concubines, as long as Cao Yuan was strong enough.

Unfortunately, Xue'er didn't think that way, and her conflicted thoughts gave her a headache.

Either accept it, or cut ties.

It's really troublesome that they neither acknowledge it nor stop doing it.

"Yes, Sister Yafei."

Cao Yuan seized the opportunity and continued speaking in accordance with Ya Fei's words.

"Really? I don't believe it."

Ya Fei raised an eyebrow, looking at Cao Yuan and Xue'er with amusement.

"Hehe, Sister Yafei is joking."

Cao Yuan coughed twice and continued, "Of course, I'm also here to see Sister Ya Fei."

He had already sensed that the bronze treasure box was in a room on the second floor of this attic.

If the Snow Woman weren't here, he would naturally take it without any qualms.

but now……

"Find me?"

Ya Fei immediately said, "I won't interfere in your affairs. You two can discuss it yourselves."

She didn't want to get involved in the affairs between Cao Yuan and Xue Nu, lest she end up pleasing neither side.

"...Sister Yafei, may I speak to you in private?"

Cao Yuan glanced at Zi Nu, who was kneeling beside him as if she were an outsider, and said softly to Ya Fei.

Ya Fei waved her hand and refused, saying, "There's no need. Let's talk here."

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuan stopped insisting and continued, "I would like to borrow Sister Ya Fei's bronze treasure box."

Ya Fei's pupils contracted slightly as she stared at Cao Yuan and said in a deep voice, "How did you know?"

Even within the royal family, the number of people who know that she is in charge of the bronze box, including herself, would be no more than three.

Cao Yuan smiled faintly and said, "I could feel it."

Consort Ya sneered, "The treasure box belongs to our royal family. Why should we lend it to you?"

"Just because..."

Cao Yuan slightly raised his hand and waved it gently. Ya Fei's face changed drastically, and her body trembled involuntarily, unable to move an inch.

Cao Yuan continued, "With my abilities, Your Highness Ya Fei should understand what I mean, right?"

Ya Fei gritted her teeth. "It seems the rumors circulating in the martial arts world about your great battle with Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin Yang School a few months ago at the top of the Qin Palace are true. I didn't expect a Celestial Realm expert to be so terrifying."

She was already at the peak of the Grandmaster level, just one step away from becoming a Great Grandmaster. But even so, she was powerless to resist Cao Yuan's suppression of the power of heaven and earth.

The snow woman, who had remained indifferent until now, finally began to get a little anxious.

"Cao Yuan, don't hurt Sister Ya Fei!"

Cao Yuan immediately released the pressure he had been putting on Ya Fei and laughed, "Don't worry, Xue'er, how could I possibly hurt our Ya Fei?"

Ya Fei gave a soft hum and remained silent.

She almost lost her composure under Cao Yuan's restraint.

While it doesn't reach the level of shame of incontinence, it's not much better.

This feeling is just too awful.

"You go!"

Ya Fei took a deep breath and gave the order to leave.

She has been guarding the bronze box for over a decade, so naturally she wouldn't easily entrust it to someone else.

Cao Yuan shook his head. "Then there's nothing we can do."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up and walked step by step towards the second floor.

"How dare you!" Ya Fei roared. "Stop right there!"

Xue looked at Cao Yuan with a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Cao Yuan, don't do this. That thing belongs to Sister Ya Fei. You can't take it."

Cao Yuan glanced back at her and said softly, "If I don't take it, would you be willing to come back with me?"

Snow Goddess's expression stiffened. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "What's the point of me going back with you? You don't need another woman like me."

"I am not short of women, but I am missing a girl named Yuki-onna."

Cao Yuan walked up to Xue Nu, looked at her affectionately, and said, "After we go back this time, let's be together forever, okay?"

The Snow Maiden softened. She glanced at the anxious Ya Fei and finally nodded.

She actually wanted to continue being with Cao Yuan, but ultimately she couldn't find a reason that could convince herself.

Now that she has it, she naturally no longer refuses.

"I'll go back with you, but don't take anything from Sister Yafei anymore."

Cao Yuan laughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't try to take it from you. This time, I'll negotiate with your sister Ya Fei."

Snow Maiden paused for a moment, and Ya Fei was equally stunned.

Negotiation? What does that mean?

Cao Yuan sat back down in front of Ya Fei.

"Your Highness, are you curious about how I broke through to the Celestial Realm?"

Ya Fei's expression changed.

"Have you already solved it...?"

Cao Yuan nodded: "That's right. I have already unlocked the other treasure boxes and gained power, thus breaking through to the Celestial Realm. I wonder if Your Highness Yafei would be willing to cooperate with me?"

After a moment of contemplation, Consort Ya said, "Cooperation is possible, but the treasure box must be returned to me afterward. It is a symbol of our Zhao royal family and cannot be lost."

For the royal family, what's in the box isn't important; what matters is the box itself.

After listening to this, the Snow Woman wore a completely speechless expression.

Did Cao Yuan trick her again?

Five days later, Xue Nu and Ya Fei moved into Cao Yuan's residence.

The addition of two more stunning beauties to the Cao family's inner quarters has made the place even more lively.

On the same day, the Moon Goddess and Ya Fei arrived in Xinzheng, intending to meet Cao Yuan.

Chapter 163 Taking Down Yanfei and Yueshen

Upon returning to Xinzheng that very night, Cao Yuan and Xue Nu spent the night in passionate lovemaking.

It finally stopped the next morning.

Before Cao Yuan could even take a nap, he heard Li Wu say that the two beauties of the Yin-Yang School, Yan Fei and Yue Shen, were looking for him.

Cao Yuan reluctantly got out of bed.

At this moment, Yanfei and Yueshen came to his door together. He didn't need to think much to know that they must have come for Zhao Ji again.

To his slight surprise, Donghuang Taiyi did not come.

It seems things aren't going well in Xianyang.

News of the power struggle between King Ying Zheng of Qin and Lü Buwei this year had already spread throughout the seven states; it would have been difficult for him not to know.

Main hall.

Yanfei and Yueshen took their seats as guests.

Inside the hall, besides the two of them, there were only Cao Yuan and Zhao Ji.

Cao Yuan smiled and said, "You two have come from afar, you must be tired from your journey. Please have some tea."
