Liu Xuande would never be a succubus of the Eastern Han Dynasty!

Her long black hair was loosely tied into a bun, with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally into it. The beads on the hairpin glowed faintly in the moonlight, trembling gently with her breathing, and a faint fragrance lingered on her body.

"..."

At this time, Jia Xu was leaning against a mulberry tree, his slender fingers casually fiddling with a mulberry leaf. His nails were dyed with bright red nail polish, a dazzling red. His fingertips gently stroked the surface of the leaf, seemingly nonchalantly, but also as if he was calculating something.

She lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes covering her thoughts. The moonlight made her skin look even whiter, but it couldn't hide the cunning and joy hidden in her eyes.

She snorted softly, and the corners of her lips rose slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, as if the silence of the night was a corner of the chess game in her hands.

She looked up, gazing at the waning moon in the night sky, her eyes moving and charming, but her gaze was also looking at a corner where no one cared, watching the snowflakes dancing alone under the moon, beautiful but lonely.

Her fingers suddenly stopped and she squeezed gently, causing the mulberry leaves to break into pieces in her palm and the juice wet her fingertips.

Jia Xu looked down, frowning slightly, and suddenly remembered some unhappy past events. Then he chuckled softly, his laughter was crisp but with a hint of self-mockery.

She threw the broken leaves into the wind with light and agile movements, and twisted her waist slightly under her skirt, showing her sexy charm.

"In this world, even mulberry trees are more affectionate than humans..."

The voice was as soft as honey, but with a hint of coolness in it.

She turned around, her fingertips gently stroking the rough bark of the mulberry tree, her nails scratching shallow marks on the trunk. A complex light flashed in her eyes, charming yet intelligent, and wise yet lonely. She was like a fox under the moon, confusing others and seeming unpredictable.

"came back?"

Jia Xu seemed to have noticed Liu Bei's movements. His voice was light and his eyes looked lazy.

She did not turn around, but just slightly tilted her body, looking at Liu Bei with her phoenix eyes out of the corner of her eyes, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, revealing a hint of teasing.

That gorgeous face looked even more charming in the moonlight, and the snowflakes falling on her shoulders made her look like a person in a painting.

"Ah."

Liu Bei walked over slowly. Noticing that her autumn clothes were soaked by the snow, he frowned and asked, "How long have you been waiting?"

His voice was as gentle as jade, like a spring breeze, bringing a reassuring warmth.

"It's been a few hours."

Jia Xu yawned lazily, as if feeling cold. He subconsciously hugged his arms, his slender fingers clenching his fur coat, and the curve of his chest became more obvious with every movement.

She tilted her head and looked at Liu Bei, a trace of fatigue flashed in her eyes, her lips slightly parted, and a puff of white mist came out, her tone lazy:

"Your mother has gone to bed. Master Lu had something to do, so he left first. He said he would come back to say goodbye tomorrow morning." Her voice was soft and a little casual, as if she was speaking nonchalantly, but there was a hint of loneliness in it.

"……Um."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, his black eyes as deep as ink. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand, his movements gentle but firm.

"Woo!"

Jia Xu only felt a warm feeling coming from her side, her face flushed slightly. Just as she was about to complain, she found that the thin fur coat on her body had been taken off and replaced by a thick men's fur coat. The warmth instantly enveloped her.

She was stunned for a moment, a hint of intention flashed in Ruifeng's eyes, then she lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if touched by this sudden tenderness.

"Wenhe, the weather is getting colder, so you should pay more attention to keeping warm."

Liu Bei stretched out his hand again. His palm was broad and warm, with distinct knuckles. He gently rubbed Jia Xu's black hair.

Then, with a smile that warmed everyone's heart, he said softly, "The great work is not yet complete, and the ambitions in your heart have not yet been realized. Until then, I hope you will neither overwork yourself nor get sick from the cold. Do you understand?"

His voice was low and soft, his peach blossom eyes were full of sincerity, and snowflakes covered his shoulders, making him look even more gentle like jade.

"..."

Jia Xu had been watching him out of the corner of his eye. After hearing these words, his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a soft look flashed in Ruifeng's eyes.

Like a fox with its fur stroked, she stretched her waist slightly, and the outline under her skirt looked even more seductive in the moonlight.

She replied softly, "I know...I know."

Her voice was as soft as marshmallow, with a rare bit of cuteness, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, with a natural charm.

At the same time, Jia Xu turned around, and his white and tender fingers flexibly hooked Liu Bei's collar, and the red nail polish on his nails flashed red among the snow.

She gently pulled the latter closer to her arms, her movements firm and natural, and then opened the paper umbrella with a "pop".

The umbrella was as bright as blood, covering the two of them perfectly, as if carving out an independent little world in this world called snow.

Under the umbrella, they only had each other in their eyes. The moonlight was trapped outside, and snowflakes fell on the umbrella, making a tiny rustling sound.

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth curled up slightly, and his auspicious eyes were full of smiling light, as if hiding countless little tricks.

She suddenly leaned closer again, her nose almost touching Liu Bei's face, sniffed, and whispered: "...wine, and the scent of a woman... well, at least two."

Her voice was soft but with a hint of teasing, her eyes were moving and she was charming.

She paused, her tone gradually turning sad: "So Lord Xuande left us to meet these two wild women, hehe."

Although Jia Xu is very low-key in her daily life, she is a beautiful woman after all. In the current atmosphere, it is really hard not to feel sorry for her when she shows such a wronged expression.

"What are you talking about, Wenhe?"

Liu Bei suddenly stretched out his hands, pulled Jia Xu's face into a smile, and said: "They both have their own abilities and talents. If we want to achieve great things in the future, we must have them both."

"Oh?"

Jia Xu didn't seem uncomfortable or unhappy when his face was pulled. Instead, he asked with great interest: "To be praised so highly by Lord Xuande, I'm really curious about what these two sisters look like..."

"Cough cough cough."

Liu Bei coughed awkwardly and corrected himself: "In fact, I just became sworn brothers with them."

"?"

Hearing this, even Jia Xu was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Did Lord Xuande become sworn brothers with them?"

"Yes, it is."

"But I am your sister, am I not?"

"...That's just a bunch of nonsense you made up."

"When you're out in the world, your identity is entirely up to you," Jia Xu said somewhat displeasedly. "This is an identity I earned through my own efforts. How can it be just something I made up?"

"..."

Chapter 15: Wenhe's body is yours to search

It is well known that the two sexes have completely different thinking patterns.

Girls are usually more emotional. When thinking about a problem, they often don't think about who is right or wrong, but mainly look at "attitude".

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, they are just sisters. No one will compete with you for the position of elder sister."

Well, probably. Maybe only Senior Sister Gongsun would care more?

When Jia Xu heard this, Ruifeng's eyes flashed with interest. Then she gently hooked Liu Bei's collar with her fingertips stained with bright red nail polish and pulled him towards her. The softness of her breasts rubbed against his chest through the thin fur coat, her movements light and seductive.

Her red lips came close to the tip of his ear, her breath was as sweet as orchid, and she whispered, "That's good."

Her voice was as soft as honey, with a hint of sourness, and her eyes were misty, pitiful and alluring, like a neglected little fox.

"It has been more than a few months since I met Lord Xuande in Luoyang. Now, recalling the past, I feel a surge of joy."

Jia Xu's voice was soft and a little lazy. His slender fingers kept sliding across his collar, and his fingertips gently pressed on his collarbone, causing a tingling sensation.

Liu Bei reached out to take the red umbrella, glancing sideways at her movements. He said rather speechlessly, "Wenhe, given the relationship between you and me, there's absolutely no need for such polite words, right? Just say what you want to say."

"Oh? But what exactly is the relationship between us?"

Jia Xu placed his fingers on her fair chin, his charming face full of curiosity.

She tilted her head, slightly opened her red lips, twisted her waist slightly, and the outline of her hips was faintly visible under her skirt. Her movements were extremely seductive.

She deliberately said in an ambiguous tone: "Is it a sister-brother relationship?"

"…They are siblings, not sibling love."

Jia Xu chuckled softly, his voice soft and playful: "Is that so? But that's just my side of the story. No matter how nice it sounds, it won't count in the end."

It turns out you still know!

Liu Bei said helplessly, "You were the one who said you wanted to be my sister, and now you're the one who says you don't want to be my sister. Wenhe, what do you want to say?"

His voice was low, and there was a hint of inquiry in his peach blossom eyes.

"What Xu wants to say is actually very simple..."

Jia Xu leaned his head gently on Liu Bei's shoulder, stretched out his slender fingers, and once again drew circles on his slightly thin chest with his fingertips, his movements active and intimate.

The softness of her chest pressed against his chest, and the surprising elasticity was felt through the fur coat. The warm touch made Liu Bei's throat tighten.

"Lord Xuande, what is your ambition?" she asked.

"Let the world be at peace." Liu Bei said solemnly.

"I wonder if you've noticed that the commotion you've been making is a bit too mild."

Jia Xu reached out to take a snowflake and squeezed it gently, but the snowflake melted in his palm, flowed down the stream and fell on the snow.

"Our actions are like this snowflake. Even at the cost of our lives, we can only slightly move the world, but in the end, we will still melt away."

Jia Xu suddenly grabbed Liu Bei's collar, scratching a shallow mark on the fabric with his nails, then took a few steps back and leaned his back against the trunk of the mulberry tree, assuming a "tree hole" posture.

She twisted her waist, the softness of her breasts pressed even closer to his chest, the curve of her hips wrapped around his waist, the movements were explicit and seductive.

She then whispered:

"...Mr. Xuande's actions in Yangzhou have been praised by the world, some even calling you a young hero... However, these are merely superficial appearances and are completely unreliable."

"You are but an outsider. Even if you have left a deep impression in Yangzhou, even if you marry Miss Mo and Miss Lu in the future, you will still be an outsider."

"Your understanding of Wu County and Jiujiang County is extremely limited, not to mention the entire Yangzhou."

"Since ancient times, our country has had countless heroes, but how many of them have a good beginning and a good end?"

Jia Xu gazed into Liu Bei's peach-blossom eyes, his tone slightly cold: "The current situation is only supported by the charisma of Lord Xuande. But if you are ever slandered or the emperor becomes suspicious of you, then all these so-called heroic deeds will be wiped out."

Liu Bei blinked and asked, "Then, what can we do?"

"Instead of putting your life in the hands of others, it is better to hold it firmly in your own hands."

Jia Xu replied in a slightly ruthless tone: "To some extent, the plague can also become an extremely effective control tool."

"...?"

Liu Bei was no fool. He quickly understood her hidden meaning and said in astonishment, "Are you trying to use the antidote to threaten and control key figures?"

This is an unreasonable move.

Indeed, with Liu Bei's skills, he could have spread the plague ghost poison to the heads of various families without anyone noticing, but the problem was...

This trick can only work temporarily. Who knows, they might just kill their relatives for the sake of justice and force a new head of the family? What should I do then? Will I poison another one?

But there are so many aristocratic families in the world.

It is definitely impossible to kill them all. Instead, it will push the originally loose families to unite, which will be counterproductive.

"No."

Jia Xu shook his head slightly, with some contempt in his eyes, as if saying: Don’t you think I am too pure?

"The plague ghosts are a bunch of creatures who don't know what life and death are. They are highly contagious and don't need food," Jia Xu said coldly. "Lord Xuande can use this to build an invincible army."

"..."

Zombie Army, what are you doing?

Liu Bei's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shook his head and rejected it: "No, this plan is too hurtful to others."

"But it won't hurt Wenhe."

Jia Xu's expression immediately changed to a grin: "It was just a joke, Lord Xuande, don't take it seriously."

"is it?"

Liu Bei knew Jia Xu wouldn't do anything without a purpose, so he stared at her suspiciously. "That reminds me. Before leaving Yangzhou, you seemed to be sneaking around the pharmacy for several days... Did you steal the formula and the antidote together?"

"...hehehe."
