The doors to the second floor opened. A sweet, fair, and graceful figure slowly walked out, stopping just behind the pearl curtains.
Even though her face was covered by a veil, her extraordinarily beautiful features could still be vaguely seen, providing just enough to trigger the endless fantasies of all who saw her.
A strange tranquility fell upon the main hall.
Those who frequented such establishments naturally saw their fair share of beauties. However, this woman before them was completely different.
Beneath her simple yet elegant brows were a pair of clear yet mysterious eyes. All those who saw them felt a powerful urge to cherish and protect the one they belonged to.
A faint smile graced her soft lips, which were tender and beautiful. They seemed to sparkle like the morning dew, giving off a unique charm that left one’s mouth dry.
As her tender gaze landed upon each one of them, it made each of them feel unique and special, as if her affections were reserved for them alone.
These thoughts swept across the minds of everyone in the Immortal Abode, from the aged elders to those who were barely of age, and their collective breathing began to hasten.
“Gulp~”
The sounds of saliva being swallowed came from everywhere in the Immortal Abode, and no one was sure who started it first.
All those who had been invited were respected figures in Brightmoon City. This sort of shameful act reflexively made their faces flush red, but no one seemed to think it inappropriate. On the contrary, this was a perfectly normal reaction to seeing such an exceptional beauty in the flesh.
What formidable charm! Observing from her second-floor private room, where the door was always shut, Pei Mianman clicked her tongue quietly. As a woman herself, she was skilled in this field as well, so she wasn’t too affected.
She sneered as she took in the utterly captivated expressions of all the men present. “Nothing more than a group of dirty lechers.”
A thought struck her, and she turned her gaze in a certain direction. Surprisingly, she noticed that Zu An’s eyes were still clear. Apparently, he wasn’t as shameful as the others.
At least there’s still something good in this fellow. The corners of Pei Mianman’s lips curved upwards ever-so-slightly into a smile so enchanting that not even a flower-covered field could compare with it. It was just a pity that no one could see it.
If she’d had an inkling of what was going through Zu An’s might right at this moment, she might not have been so quick to praise him like this.
Zu An came from a different world, after all. He was used to seeing female celebrities on TV, and could swipe through the updates of countless beauties on TikTok. There was also the 2D world, which was full of perfect women who didn’t really exist. After all this exposure, his concept of beauty naturally exceeded that of the men of this world by a fair margin.
Moreover, his wife was Brightmoon City’s number one beauty. Even if this Qiu Honglei was pretty, there was no way she would be prettier than her.
There was also big sis empress, the gorgeous principal, Shang Liuyu, and many others. Any one of them was a match for her, and he was already close to all of them. He was already numb to all but the most exceptional beauties.
This woman’s bearing and seductiveness made him subconsciously think of Pei Mianman. The two of them actually shared some traits, with one of them being more flirtatious, while the other’s seductiveness carried a hint of innocence.
However, there was no denying that Pei Mianman’s chest was far more developed than hers!
Zu An carefully sized up Qiu Honglei’s chest. Even though it was majestic, it still lacked sauce.
If Pei Mianman had known what was inside his head, she would have been torn between laughing and punching him in the face.
On the surface, Qiu Honglei looked like she was looking at everyone, but in reality, half of her attention was on Zu An. When she saw how quickly his expression had cleared, she couldn’t help but feel amazed.
After all, she had tremendous confidence in her own charm. Just look at everyone else’s reactions!
As expected, this fellow is different. She reminded herself to be more careful when dealing with him in the future.
She was none other than the woman who had been observing Zu An with her senior from their private room. After getting changed, she had decided to come out to appease and distract the crowd, and defuse the life-and-death battle that was on the verge of taking place.
While she was still praising Zu An for being an upright gentleman, she suddenly noticed that his eyes were staring wantonly at her chest.
This fellow is really…
She was momentarily stumped. She had just been praising him a second ago, and yet, in a flash, she immediately regretted doing so.
Despite all the passionate stares that were trained on her, she was able to remain calm and composed, her heart not even fluttering once.
Yet, for some reason, this fellow’s gaze seemed to pierce right through her, making her feel as if she wasn’t wearing any clothes. She subconsciously pulled her clothes tighter around her body.
Her skills of seduction had long been practiced to perfection, and even an unintentional movement such as this worked to tug at the hearts of men, emphasizing the breathtaking nature of her graceful curves.
Her movements did not escape the eyes of the other men. Cries of alarm rang out from around the Immortal Abode.
Out of all of them, Wei Suo’s performance was the most disappointing. His body trembled uncontrollably. He looked around guiltily, then heaved a huge sigh of relief when he realized that nobody had noticed.
Despite this, he still backed away slowly, withdrawing from the crowd while covering the front of his pants with his hands.
His heart weighed heavily with shame and regret. What was wrong with him these days? He had never imagined his body would be so weak! He decided that he was going to head to the local pharmacy to buy some six-flavored foxglove pills for supplementation.[1]
Instead of the zealousness shown by the rest of the crowd, Zu An was full of disdain. So many madams in those period dramas cover their faces with veils, but those veils are all thin to the point of being almost transparent. Why do they even bother?
Who would have thought that the girl in front of him would also use the same trick? That veil didn’t cover shit!
Did she wear it just to add a hint of mystery and enticement?
You might as well just make your clothes a bit more transparent, then!
His disdainful expression didn’t escape Qiu Honglei’s eyes, which showed just a flash of irritation.
You have successfully trolled Qiu Honglei for 33 Rage points!
When he saw the Rage points, Zu An was stunned. What was going on? How did I end up provoking her? After all, the two of them didn’t know each other at all! Furthermore, he was buried in a sea of people. Shouldn’t it be hard for her to notice me even from where she’s standing?
He looked up with a puzzled expression, but Qiu Honglei had already turned her gaze away.
“I have humbly prepared a song for everyone. I hope everyone can offer me your kind opinion.”
As she said these words, the corners of her lips curved slightly upwards, forming a faintly discernible smile. Her voice was soft and velvety, carrying subtle undercurrents of nuance.
The same feeling arose in the hearts of everyone present. My soul truly belongs with this gorgeous woman!
Xie Daoyun couldn’t help but sigh in admiration as well. “I’ve always thought highly of myself, but in terms of temperament and charm, she’s completely out of my league.”
Xie Xiu was quick to console her. “Big sister, you’re going about it wrong. You are the glorious daughter of a city lord, and a well-known talent. No matter how pretty and charming she is, these are nothing more than cheap brothel tricks. How can she compare to you?”
