People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

She thought it was in that farmhouse courtyard after the rain.

Seeing Cao Ze looking in their direction, Jing Ni coughed lightly and said, "Keep your voice down. You don't want him to know, do you?"

Li Wu felt that Jing Ni's words sounded familiar, as if some bad guy had also said to her, "You didn't want to do this or that, did you?"

"Oh, go on."

She was now even more curious about how Cao Ze had come up with his idea for her, and her heart was pounding with anxiety.

Jingni briefly explained the whole story.

“At that time, I was already planning to defect from Luo Wang. I told him about you, and he thought we could win you over. He said we could make more friends and fewer enemies. So, that rainy night, we took you with us.”

Li Wu's heart was pounding, and her chest was heaving.

No wonder Cao Ze always teased her about his concubine; it turns out Jing Ni had already told Cao Ze that she wanted to find a nobleman to be her concubine to escape the net. Really…

Li Wu's pretty face was already quite red in the firelight.

"Is there anything else? How can he be so sure he can convince me?"

Li Wu composed herself, still wanting to know whether Cao Ze had ever liked her or not.

Jingni recalled and said, "He told me that if he couldn't convince you, he should prepare to sleep... um, you know what I mean."

Li Wu was so distraught that she couldn't utter a single word. This guy is just too shameless!

She really did believe that this guy slept with her because he liked her!

Jingni looked at Li Wu with some trepidation, feeling that she shouldn't have listened to Li Wu's honesty.

After inspecting the bed, Cao Ze made a plan in his mind. He was unaware that Jing Ni and Li Wu had already exposed his secrets and said a lot of inappropriate things to Li Wu.

"What are you talking about?"

When Li Wu saw Cao Ze's smiling face, she was furious. He still wanted to seduce her?

Do you think I can be seduced? Pshaw!

Cao Ze was somewhat puzzled when he saw Li Wu stand up and leave with a dark expression.

"What's up with her?"

Jingni's eyes darted around as she said, "She must be tired."

Cao Ze glanced at the sky, which had just begun to darken, and said, "You slept all afternoon and are already tired so quickly? You're too weak."

He didn't take it to heart. Women, who knows what they're thinking all day?

He immediately picked up Xiao Yan'er from Jing Ni's arms, and seeing that Xiao Yan'er was sleeping soundly, he chuckled and kissed her, saying to Jing Ni, "Madam, it seems that Xiao Yan'er won't wake up for a while, so we..."

Jingni smiled helplessly and said, "Li Wu was absolutely right when she said you're no different from an animal. Aren't you going to the Empress's side?"

"I don't want to go today. That woman is too picky. I'm afraid you'll go hungry tonight."

Cao Ze held Xiao Yan'er and walked around the room. The more he looked at Xiao Yan'er, the more he felt that she was as pretty as Jing Ni.

I can't help but sigh. They say daughters resemble their fathers and sons resemble their mothers, but why doesn't that apply to him?

Having been influenced by Cao Ze for a long time, Jing Ni easily understood what Cao Ze meant, but she still couldn't help but feel her heart pounding and her pretty face slightly flushed.

Is this a hint about what she's having for dinner tonight?

Back in the next room, Li Wu scratched her hair with both hands, making her beautiful hair very messy.

That damned Cao Ze! What does he take me for?!

Did you really think you could convince her by sleeping with her? Make her willingly risk her life for you?

Li Wu sat by the candle table, one hand supporting her cheek, the other tapping the candle table repeatedly, looking sadly at the bare trees outside the window.

I thought I had found love.

Who would have thought I was just being delusional...

Baldness...

Winter days are short. Xiao Yan'er woke up halfway through the day, was fed by Jing Ni, and then it was already dark.

Cao Ze helped Jing Ni remove her outer clothes and chuckled, "My lady, it's time to feed your husband, isn't it?"

A dozen or so breaths later.

While in bed, Jingni pondered Cao Zetian's reasons for not going to the brothel before dark, and after a moment's thought, quietly extended her Nine Yin White Bone Claw downwards.

She needs to seize the opportunity first and then face the challenges ahead.

Cao Ze took a deep breath. "Ni'er, let's talk this out. This is absolutely unacceptable."

Jingni said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'll be gentler."

Cao Ze lowered his head slightly, watching Jing Ni slowly crawl into the quilt.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, he suddenly realized that he had been captured.

hiss~

The giant salamander tonight is something else; it actually put on this show for me.

We need to cooperate properly.

Jing Ni's cultivation level is higher than Li Wu's.

Even after spending half an incense stick's time in bed, I was still completely at ease.

With the Nine Yin White Bone Claw in hand, he resolutely implements policies.

Combined with the technique of escape, it allows for comprehensive planning and consideration.

Cao Ze dispatched hundreds of millions of heavenly soldiers and generals.

The corpses of those killed by Jing Ni were scattered all over the field, and blood flowed like rivers, creating a desolate scene.

Once the dust had settled, Jingni emerged from her bed.

She wanted to let out a long sigh of relief, only to realize that her pretty face had a bunch of unspeakable things on it.

She gave Cao Ze a reproachful look, which only enhanced her charm.

Cao Ze was overjoyed, "Madam has finally seen the light!"

Jingni wiped her mouth and said, "Isn't this what you wanted?"

Cao Ze was taken aback. Had he said that?

Never mind, that's not important.

Cao Ze happily cuddled Jing Ni and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Li Wu, who had been eavesdropping next door, went to sleep with a little lingering doubt after realizing there was no further movement.

The next day, Cao Ze got up early.

He has now learned the importance of self-control.

We cannot indulge ourselves all the time.

As a master who specializes in cultivating the Qi of the liver and kidneys and controls the Water element of the five internal organs.

If he can't distinguish between "what he can and what he can't," then he'll truly become like Pigsy from Journey to the West.

We absolutely must not let Pigsy control him.

For three consecutive days, Cao Ze spent all his time cultivating, except for the daily good deed he had to do at the Empress's place.

I rarely even go to Feixue Pavilion.

He had a premonition that he would open the fifth legitimate channel in the next few days.

On the fourth day, after he had taken a nap, he was returning to Qingping Residence from the palace when he was unexpectedly stopped by Tian Mi, that honey pot.

Chapter 133 Beautiful Inside and Out

Wearing a fluffy little fur hat, Tian Mi smiled at Cao Ze and said, "Sir, you haven't been to the Hundred Schools Forum for several days, have you?"

Cao Ze glanced at Tian Mi, unsure why she was blocking him.

He laughed and said, "I've been cultivating these past few days and haven't had time to go."

Tian Mi stroked the silver hookah with its wooden handle hanging at her waist, then slowly took it in her hand, subtly inhaled two puffs of the specially blended cigarette, and slowly exhaled.

Cao Ze narrowed his eyes. Did this woman really think he hadn't noticed something was wrong with the cigarette smoke before?

As if sensing Cao Ze's wariness, Tian Mi gently shook her water pipe and chuckled, "Does the master think that Mi'er has ulterior motives?"

She did indeed make poisonous cigarettes, but the poison was for emergencies and to kill someone; she wasn't foolish enough to use it to harm Cao Ze now.

"Of course not, Miss Tian Mi looks beautiful inside and out."

Cao Ze familiarly sent Tian Mi a "beautiful inside and out" card, because he's a sucker for good looks.

Tian Mi smiled and said, "Then you've guessed wrong, sir. This tobacco was indeed made by me with ulterior motives, and it was specially prepared for you. Do you like it, sir?"

Cao Ze thought to himself, "What a brilliant strategy of retreating to advance."

He took a light sniff of the incense in the air. To be honest, the incense Tian Mi made was even better than that from Fei Xue Ge. Not only could it make people feel happy, but it could also make people lower their guard without them even realizing it.

"very nice."

Cao Ze let out a long breath and said, "I wonder what brings Miss Tian Mi here?"

Tian Mi took another puff of her cigarette with a satisfied expression. It seemed that the tobacco she had used this time was of good quality, which had made Cao Ze lower his guard.

She smiled and said, "My chivalrous leader would like to invite you to Feixue Pavilion for a chat. I hope you will do me the honor and give me face."

When she learned that the leader of the Xia Kui wanted to have a private meeting with Cao Ze, she began to make plans.

He planned to take advantage of Cao Ze's growing favor with the Xia Kui to elevate his own status within the Farmer's Clan.

So she told Xia Kui that she knew Cao Ze and that they had some connection.

That's how he got the opportunity, and Xia Kui arranged for him to personally invite Cao Ze.

Based on her knowledge that Cao Ze frequently visited the palace, she successfully located Cao Ze, who had never appeared on the Hundred Schools Forum.

Cao Ze smiled faintly: "Confucius said, 'A gentleman helps others achieve their goals.' Since Miss Tian Mi has sincerely invited me, I will naturally go."
