The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

Chapter 67 A Beauty's Affection

The Snow Woman walked in, having changed out of her dance costume and now wearing only a simple blue dress, as if the radiant, peerless dancer from before was not her at all.

How was my dancing tonight?

The Snow Maiden stretched out her hands and placed them on Cao Yuan's shoulders. Her pair of beautiful, deep blue eyes gazed at Cao Yuan with deep affection, completely ignoring Jing Ni and Li Wu standing to the side.

"I danced for you, are you happy?"

Cao Yuan was caught off guard and almost strained his back.

Unexpectedly, the snow woman suddenly confessed her feelings to him.

He's busy with important business!

Don't you know that Mr. Cao shouldn't be near women while he's working?

"Happy, very happy."

Cao Yuan then embraced Xue Nu's slender waist and said affectionately, "You danced so well."

The Snow Maiden half-closed her beautiful eyes and gently exhaled a delicate orchid fragrance towards Cao Yuan.

"How good is it?"

Cao Yuan immediately retrieved the information from his memory.

In order to pick up girls, he shamelessly became a plagiarist.

"Graceful as a startled swan, lithe as a swimming dragon, radiant as autumn chrysanthemums, flourishing as spring pines. Bright as a light cloud veiling the moon, drifting like swirling snow in a flowing wind."

Li Wu pouted, her beautiful face full of sourness, so sour it was unbearable.

Jing Ni remained expressionless, but she felt a little resentful inside.

She is clearly the rightful wife, even if it's just a facade.

But Xiao Mengjiang is different.

Xiao Mengjiang said with a look of delight and longing, "Aman is so talented. I wish he could write a poem for me."

Lying on the ground, Yan Chunjun's heart shattered as he watched the woman he had just treated like his own possession now speaking so tenderly to Cao Yuan.

As for Jueying, he didn't experience any emotional fluctuations at all; if he did, he was racking his brains trying to figure out how to escape.

As for whether Yan Chunjun is alive or dead, he can no longer care.

He was an assassin from the Luo Wang organization, not a member of Yan Chun Jun's family.

The snow maiden's fair and delicate face was filled with happiness and bliss.

"Really? Can I dance for you again sometime?"

"Great, excellent."

Cao Yuan gently patted Xue Nu's back and whispered in her ear, "Wait until I take care of him."

The Snow Maiden obediently released her jade-like hands from Cao Yuan's neck.

"Ok, I will wait for you."

Cao Yuan glanced at the controlled Jueying and Yan Chunjun lying on the ground.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Jingni, kill him. Don't defile this place."

"what……"

Jueying immediately wanted to fight to the death.

He had barely moved when

The sword in Jingni's hand instantly turned into a blur, and in the blink of an eye, it crippled Jueying and shattered Jueying's heart meridian.

If Cao Yuan hadn't insisted on not getting dirty, Jing Ni could have been even faster, leaving Jueying speechless.

When Yan Chunjun saw that Jueying had died so swiftly and cleanly, his body trembled like a leaf, and he turned pale with fright.

Cao Yuan was very satisfied with this example of making an example of someone.

"Yan Chun Jun, let's go to your residence together. Remember not to do anything that might make me misunderstand, understand?"

Yan Chunjun, covered in sweat, replied, "Understood, understood."

I will never dare to have those little thoughts again.

Even if his secret room contained traps and mechanisms.

But even Jueying could easily dodge and break those traps, let alone Cao Yuan and the others.

"You should be happier. Don't be so afraid. Smile more. It's not good if people can tell."

Cao Yuan squatted down and patted Yan Chunjun's chubby face: "Don't make things difficult for me, understand?"

"Know, know."

Yan Chunjun pounded his head like garlic, almost banging his head on the ground, calling Cao Yuan "Grandpa" twice.

But a sense of resentment was growing within him.

If he gets the chance, he will definitely take revenge!

Most of the nobles in Feixue Pavilion had not yet left, but instead took the opportunity to build connections.

But after a short while, the nobles inside the pavilion fell silent.

Everyone stared in astonishment at Yan Chun Jun, who had just emerged, and Cao Yuan and Xue Nu behind him. As for Jing Ni Li Wu and Xiao Meng Jiang, who were disguised as maids, no one paid them any attention.

Cao Yuan said loudly, "Thanks to Lord Yanchun's appreciation, Feixue Pavilion is closed today. If you are willing, you can come with me and Miss Xue Nu to the Lord's residence."

The nobles suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Cao Yuan with envy and jealousy.

No wonder Lord Yanchun only stayed inside for a short while before coming out; it turns out he wanted to bring the person to his residence.

Although they despised Cao Yuan, at this moment they wished they were Cao Yuan, that they could find a stunning beauty to offer themselves to, gain the favor of Lord Yanchun, and rise to the top in Yandu.

Even if this stunningly beautiful woman is his wife.

Cao Yuan bowed and took his leave, riding in the same carriage with Lord Yanchun amidst the disdain and envy of the nobles.

Soon after, they arrived at Lord Yanchun's residence.

If the Yan King's Palace is the grandest and most magnificent palace in Yandu, then the second largest is the residence of Lord Yanchun, which covers hundreds of acres and is comparable to a comprehensive university.

Cao Yuan followed Lord Yanchun as they wandered through the mansion, encountering several groups of formidable sentries and a multitude of traps and mechanisms along the way.

These arrangements alone are enough to deter most experts below the half-step grandmaster level.

After another short while, they arrived at a room that was neither too big nor too small.

The room was clean and tidy, a secret chamber carefully crafted by Lord Yanchun to store the bronze treasure box.

If you're not paying attention, you'd just think it's a regular guest room.

With trembling hands, Yan Chunjun opened the hidden mechanism inside the room, and a secret door slowly slid out from the ground, leading directly to the underground treasure vault.

Cao Yuan glanced at Yan Chunjun, took out the small pill that Li Wu had given him, and stuffed it into Yan Chunjun's mouth.

"If you don't get the antidote in half a quarter of an hour, you will die. Go in first."

Yan Chunjun was on the verge of tears, never expecting Cao Yuan to be so wary, which completely dashed his hopes.

Cao Yuan, Xue Nu Jing Ni, and the others successfully entered the secret chamber without anything happening.

"You're quite good; you know how to read the situation."

Cao Yuan saw the bronze treasure box in the center of the secret chamber and patted Yan Chunjun on the shoulder with a smile.

"Sir, where is the antidote?"

Yan Chunjun asked anxiously.

Cao Yuan said earnestly, "Your Majesty, you must know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If you want the antidote, you have to pay for it."

Yan Chunjun breathed a sigh of relief.

"How much would you like, sir?"

Cao Yuan chuckled and said, "Not much, not much, just six thousand gold coins will do."

"Six thousand?"

Yan Chunjun raised his voice, staring at Cao Yuan in shock, his eyes filled with bewilderment.

How could Cao Yuan, a newcomer from out of town, know how much money he had?

"Were you acting under someone's orders?"

Yan Chunjun stared at Cao Yuan in horror, a terrifying answer forming in his mind.

Cao Yuan smiled faintly and said, "It's not that I was instructed by someone; it was just a pleasant cooperation."

He only asked for this price because he saw the information Yan Dan provided.

It was less than he expected.

However, I should be able to successfully cultivate immunity to all poisons.

"...Yan Dan!"

Yan Chunjun gritted his teeth and said, "If you can spare my life, I am willing to offer up all my assets, at least 20,000 gold coins."

Cao Yuan was momentarily moved, but only momentarily.

It would definitely take a long time for Lord Yanchun to raise those 20,000 gold coins by selling off various family assets.

He didn't have time to linger here; he understood the principle that delay could lead to unforeseen problems.

This is ultimately Yan Chunjun's territory.

"Twenty thousand gold coins, that's a lot of money. But give me those six thousand gold notes first."

Without saying a word, Yan Chunjun opened a hidden box in the secret room, which was filled with various exquisite gold notes.

"There are fifty-six in total. They can be exchanged at any of the seven kingdoms' royal families' Iron Blood Alliance. I'll make up for the missing ones tomorrow."

"That's a lot of money..."

Cao Yuan counted the gold notes and handed them to Jing Ni, who was holding the bronze treasure box.
