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

The room was filled with noise and chaos.

The two incense sticks slowly burned out.

Li Ji could no longer distinguish between a dream and reality.

Half-drunk and half-awake, she stared blankly at Cao Ze in front of her.

Cao Ze gave a wry smile.

He never imagined that one day he would be outmaneuvered by a little girl.

And he was even used as a horse.

There's nowhere to reason with them.

Isn't it said that anything related to being drunk is fake and impossible?

At least in a world where cultivation is possible, this is utter nonsense.

Because what he's saying now is nonsense.

……

Li Ji watched Cao Ze in silence.

She longed to dismount and find a quiet, secluded place.

But the various pains emanating from her body made her afraid to move at all.

The headache she felt after waking up from her drunken stupor left her with only one question on her mind.

Why is Cao Ze still able to stand tall and proud...?

Cao Ze patted Li Ji's small hand that was pressed against his chest and said helplessly, "Have you had enough fun? Get down now."

Li Ji suddenly gasped and whispered, "Don't get agitated!"

Cao Zemu was stunned. Was he excited?

Who's getting all worked up? Who is it?!

Li Ji's eyes were misty; her originally large, watery eyes were now half-closed as she endured the pain.

She is trying to adapt.

"Wait a moment."

Li Ji exhaled the scent of orchids and wine, looking helpless and pitiful.

"I feel really bad right now..."

Cao Ze remained motionless, briefly recalling what had just happened.

He was forcibly pushed by Li Ji.

Because he was worried that he might lose control of his strength while drunk and accidentally hurt Li Ji, he did not resist and could only let Li Ji do as she pleased.

Well, that's not important.

The important thing is that they were only focused on exchanging feelings and didn't seem to say anything else besides singing together.

Cao Ze breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that he hadn't talked nonsense while drunk and that Li Ji hadn't tried to extract information from him.

Li Ji recovered somewhat.

Her beautiful eyes were half-closed, and she said softly, "Mr. Cao Ze..."

Cao Ze immediately flashed an innocent smile and said, "Don't worry, I know. Let's just pretend nothing happened."

He's very familiar with this tactic.

Li Ji paused slightly, her beautiful eyes widened, and she stared motionlessly at Cao Ze before her.

They seemed shocked by Cao Ze's shamelessness.

"No, that's not what I meant."

"I want to know, will the Zhao Kingdom send troops to aid Puyang?"

At this moment, Li Ji stared intently into Cao Ze's eyes.

Based on the previous events and her drunken conversation with Cao Ze, she was now 70% certain that this was a well-intentioned scam targeting her.

But she needed to be absolutely certain before she could proceed; she was afraid of what might happen...

Cao Ze knew that he couldn't show any weakness at this time.

He calmly met Li Ji's eyes, and sure enough, if you looked closely at the girl's pupils, they weren't pure black, but rather had a hint of brownish-red.

But what captivated him was Li Ji's slightly sharp gaze at that moment, which was extremely mesmerizing.

For a moment, he even considered telling the truth and not wanting to deceive such a kind and righteous girl.

“Of course,” Cao Ze said slowly but firmly, “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Princess Yafei or Prince Zhao.”

After a long silence, Li Ji finally managed to dismount.

She stumbled, bracing herself on the wooden board with one hand, and half-knelt, half-sat beside Cao Ze.

She looked up slightly and saw that the 'saddle' she had just been sitting on, which was extremely angry and ferocious, was stained with streaks of dark red blood.

Is it bleeding? No wonder it hurts so much.

Cao Ze glanced at his younger brother's blood-covered appearance and sighed deeply.

Liji's bleeding is a bit heavy.

You need to eat more millet, red date, and goji berry porridge...

Li Ji pulled her clothes over her shoulder and gently covered her slender, fair body.

"It's probably late noon now. Sister Yafei and Xue Nu could wake up at any time. Let's just consider what happened between us as an accident."

She lightly wiped her thighs, which were still stained with blood, with a silk cloth and said to herself.

In truth, she brought this accident upon herself.

Even knowing the consequences, she still chose to try, because time waits for no one.

Cao Ze sighed softly. He knew that Li Ji had been 'coveting' him for a long time; otherwise, she wouldn't have pushed him away without thinking back then.

It's true what they say: a moment of pleasure after drinking, but a nightmare when you wake up.

Li Ji kept her head down, afraid to see Cao Ze's little brother, stained with her blood and grimacing with rage.

"Get up quickly, get dressed, and leave without being noticed."

Cao Ze let out a breath of stale air, "Alright then~"

As the saying goes, what you fear most is what will come to pass.

As Cao Ze stood up to get dressed, the door to the elegant room of 'Sui Feng Jian' was pushed open, and a voice followed.

"Liji, why have you been staying here? I've been looking for you for a while now. I still need to find your dance costume and jewelry this afternoon..."

Li Ji's rosy complexion immediately turned pale.

Cao Ze was speechless.

He didn't expect it to happen so coincidentally.

What's even more remarkable is that Ya Fei is a top-notch dancer who has practiced Handan dance steps for many years. When she walks, she is as silent as a Persian cat, so he doesn't notice anyone approaching.

Ya Fei lightly covered her nose and lips; the pervasive smell of alcohol in the room made her brows furrow slightly.

When she saw Li Ji, who was only wearing her undergarments, and Cao Ze, who hadn't had time to get dressed, she stared blankly at the scene before her, subconsciously thinking that she was still asleep.

What are the aftereffects of staying up all night?

No way, all her kung fu training was for nothing?

Ya Fei patted her head, trying to clear her mind.

She re-examined the past, her gaze shifting slightly downwards.

When she saw Cao Ze's blood-stained, furious, and ferocious brother, her originally cool and composed face gradually turned red and hot.

Ya Fei slightly opened her bright red lips, as if a scream was brewing.

Cao Ze was so conflicted that he wondered whether he should shut Ya Fei up first or get dressed first.

In her haste, Li Ji had only taken a few steps when her physical discomfort caused her to stumble and fall at Ya Fei's feet, her delicate hands tightly embracing Ya Fei's long legs.

She said in a plaintive voice, "Sister Yafei, I'm sorry, please let me explain."

Ya Fei suppressed the urge to scream and glared angrily at Cao Ze.

"You stand still!"

Then, with a complicated look in his eyes, he said to Li Ji, "Come with me!"

Ignoring her pain, Li Ji quickly got up and, dragging her tired body, followed Ya Fei into the side room inside the house.

After being tormented by Ya Fei, Cao Ze, who was originally a pillar of strength, has become a docile little brother again.

"What's going on...?"

Cao Ze muttered a complaint, thankfully Ya Fei didn't scream or launch a sonic attack.

Otherwise, he would have to quickly find Jing Ni Li Wu for treatment.

Inside the side room, Consort Ya, with her beautiful but cold face, looked coldly at Li Ji kneeling on the ground.

"Tell me, what exactly happened!"

Although she longed for matters between men and women and even secretly ordered various kinds of silk underwear to try on, it was ultimately just a minor quirk.

I never expected to see a man naked today.

Not to mention, there was a place with a hideous face and blood on it.

If it were any other time, if Cao Ze and Xue Nu were indoors...

She might even be able to feign composure and has a good chance of making a joke at Cao Ze's expense.

But it was Li Ji who saw Cao Ze's bloodstained assets.

She was completely blown away by what she had never seen before.
