People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 303, An Explanation Through Practice
As the final bell rang to signal the start of the court assembly, Xu Qing arrived at Mingzhu Palace.

Pushing open the door of the Hundred Fragrances Hall, Xu Qing walked straight in. The Hundred Fragrances Hall was as dimly lit as ever, and the Tide Demoness was mixing incense in the perfumery.

The trendy enchantress wore a long, black and purple dress that accentuated her curves, making her incredibly alluring. A touch of light makeup on her pretty face, along with a few teardrops at the corners of her eyes, enhanced her captivating charm and alluring beauty.

"You seem to be a little late today?"

Chao Nu Yao slightly raised her head to look at Xu Qing, her narrow eyes carrying a hint of charming smile, her rosy lips moving slightly.

"Han Fei and I entered the palace together. We talked about some things when we passed by the Cold Palace, which caused us to be a little late."

As Xu Qing walked and talked, he quickly reached the back of Chao Nv Yao. He reached out and put his arm around Chao Nv Yao's slender waist, stroking her delicate skin through the cool gauze. He buried his head in Chao Nv Yao's shoulder and said in a tired tone.

"It seems you've talked about a lot of things, which has made you so tired."

Chao Nuyao put down her tools, turned to look at Xu Qing, and stroked Xu Qing's cheek with her slender hand, her charming eyes filled with heartache.

"Yeah, that Han Fei guy is scary."

Before Xu Qing could finish speaking, Chao Nu Yao offered her red lips and bit them.

However, before Xu Qing could enjoy the succubus's initiative, a cloud of purple smoke was exhaled from the succubus's mouth and poured into his mouth.

The purple smoke instantly made Xu Qing feel dizzy, but he quickly regained his senses. He pretended to be in a daze, ready to see what new tricks the Tide Demoness would play on him today.

The seductive woman released Xu Qing's lips, looked at the dazed man in front of her, a triumphant smile on her face, and a cold light flashed in her charming eyes.

"My Imperial Physician, shouldn't you first explain to me why you know martial arts and why you're going to the Qin Kingdom?"

The enchanting woman's voice was soft and alluring, yet it concealed a deep chill.

Xu Qing was pushed down onto the soft couch by the Tide Demoness, who sat on a slightly higher table with her legs crossed, her skirt falling down to reveal her beautiful legs covered in black stockings.

Her straight, slender legs crossed and pressed tightly together, enveloping the mysterious triangle area. A delicate little foot hooked onto a pair of black high heels that seemed ready to slip out of her control at any moment.

Her jade-like feet swayed in front of Xu Qing, constantly swinging the high heel that gleamed with a ghostly light. At the same time, the succubus took out a small black leather whip that Xu Qing hadn't seen in a long time from somewhere.

Seeing this, Xu Qing naturally stopped pretending and snapped out of his daze, saying with a sigh.

"Madam, do you still remember the promise I made to you before?"

Seeing that Xu Qing recovered so quickly, Chao Nu Yao was slightly angry. She originally thought that Bai Yifei was lying to her when he said that Xu Qing knew martial arts and that he was going to Qin State to deceive her and sow discord between her and Xu Qing.

She never expected that this scoundrel would actually know martial arts; no wonder her incense never worked. She had poured her heart out to Xu Qing, but this jerk was still hiding something from her and even wanted to go to the Qin Kingdom.

They went, fine, but they didn't even tell her beforehand? If Bai Yifei hadn't told her, she might have been kept in the dark for a long time.

"What does this have to do with your trip to Qin?" Chao Nu Yao said with a cold snort.

Looking at the angry Chao Nu Yao, Xu Qing felt helpless. He hadn't expected Bai Yifei to come and complain to Chao Nu Yao. Since his brother-in-law hadn't revealed anything about Yan Ling Ji, he decided not to hold a grudge.

“I said that one day I would stand with you openly and honestly, with no one daring to point fingers or object. If I stay in Korea, I will only ever be a royal physician, your subject.”

“I am by nature easygoing, but seeing you trapped in the deep palace while I am powerless to help you, I want to take a chance.”

“Only by going to Qin will I have a chance to advance further. Even if the dangers inside Qin are greater than those in Han, I am willing to take the risk for you, as long as I can rescue you from your identity as the Tide Demon and let you return to the carefree Shu’er.”

"I came to the palace this time to tell you, but I didn't expect you to know beforehand."

Xu Qing spoke sincerely, his gaze towards the Tide Demoness filled with deep affection.

Hearing Xu Qing's words, Chao Nu Yao's eyes softened slightly, her anger subsided, and her tone became gentler. "Xu Lang~, it seems I misunderstood you."

She loved Xu Qing deeply, so much so that she wanted to possess him completely, to have him by her side every single moment. But Xu Qing was willing to risk everything to go to Qin for her sake; what could she say in response?

"It's my fault. I should have explained it to you sooner."

Xu Qing sat up from the soft couch, reached out and pulled Chao Nu Yao into his arms, gently stroking her jade-like back as he spoke.

So what if his brother-in-law complained? In the end, he was still one step ahead!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qing took the small leather whip from the Tide Demon's hand with his other hand. Although the whip couldn't hurt him, it still left a deep impression on him.

Who would be a good person to be stepped on by a succubus with her stockinged little feet and then whipped?
"Xu Lang~ Can't you stay? Stay in Korea. As long as you're by my side, I don't care." Chao Nu Yao nestled in Xu Qing's arms, looking at him sideways as she spoke.

She was afraid that after Xu Qing entered Qin, he wouldn't be able to outmaneuver the people within Qin, and she was even more worried that Xu Qing would leave and never come back.

In the end, the Tide Demoness is just a woman. Even though she has the title of Lady Mingzhu and is one of the Four Fiends of the Night, she is still a woman.

Things between women and men are sometimes very simple, and if they are complicated, it's only later that things become complicated.

At least during the period when they had feelings for each other, they were both simple and pure.

"I will come back. The day I achieve success and fame will be the day I return to take you away," Xu Qing said softly.

Chao Nu Yao nodded slightly, her pretty face nuzzling against Xu Qing's chest. She knew she couldn't keep this man.

Seeing that the swaying demon was calmed down, Xu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He just hoped that Hu Meiren wouldn't be as difficult to coax as the swaying demon.

After calming her sorrowful mood, the enchanting woman's eyes regained their allure. She wrapped her arms around Xu Qing's neck and pushed him back onto the soft couch.

"Then how do you explain your martial arts skills? How many other things are you hiding from me?"

The sassy woman wore a dangerous smile, took off her black high heels, straightened up, and looked down at Xu Qing.

Her delicate little feet landed on Xu Qing's weak spot, and she gently waved the leather whip in her hand.

Looking at the leather whip dangling in front of him, Xu Qing nervously swallowed and quickly said...
"Shu'er, I can explain!"

"An explanation? Then give me a proper explanation!"

The seductive enchantress licked her red lips, a dangerous glint in her alluring eyes, and brought down the leather whip in her hand, snapping Xu Qing's belt in two.

Small feet encased in black stockings slowly pulled down the white clothes and trousers, and the long skirt on the trendy woman fell down as well, pressing down on the clothes and trousers.

Xu Qing watched as the trendy woman's long black dress fell down, revealing a large expanse of her cleavage.

Her ample breasts were restrained by a black lace-trimmed bra, rising and falling with the succubus's movements.

On her fair and flat abdomen, a bright pearl shone against the backdrop of a black triangular bra. Her long, slender legs were bound with red leg rings, and her delicate little feet were dangling.

"actually, I"

Before Xu Qing could finish speaking, everything went black as a black bra covered his eyes. Then he felt a weight pressing down on his waist and abdomen, as if something heavy was pressing down on him.

"Explanation isn't just about words; it's also about actions!"

The trendy girl snorted, a blush rising on her pretty face, her charming eyes softening until they became somewhat unfocused.
