Cursed Mountains and Seas

Chapter 171 Master catches Zheng Qian red-handed, Zheng Qian disappears

When Shen Yueye speaks normally, her voice is like the song of a nightingale or the sound of a mountain spring.

The sudden switch to this slightly husky, alluring, and seductive fox-like voice made Wang Cheng's bones feel weak all over.

Even his handsome face couldn't help but blush slightly, revealing his long-hidden true identity—a "virgin."

Shen Yueye found it very interesting:
"Huh? When I first came to the palace, I didn't believe the rumors that the Black Peak Banner group said about you bullying men and women and being a lecherous woman."

But you've been the Crown Prince for almost eighteen years, and you're still shy? Have you never even held a girl's hand? Hehehe.

The girl was also an illiterate child.

That's how relationships between men and women work: if you're weak, she's strong; if you're strong, she's weak.

Besides, girls mature much earlier than boys, and they instantly cast aside their shyness and became bolder.

In my mind, I also gave my junior brother a new label: self-disciplined and morally upright.

She couldn't help but like him more and more as she looked at him, her feelings subtly exceeding what a senior sister would normally have for her junior brother.

It is obvious that Shen Yueye, the "Heart Moon Fox," has a completely different style from the Dragon Girl Yan Yunxiao; one is aggressive and fiery, while the other is cold and aloof.

It's said that men love to look at beautiful women, but don't women love to admire handsome men just as much?
Even with Shen Yueye's extremely discerning eye, she had to admit that regardless of appearance, character, family background, talent, achievements, strength, or the relationship between the two parties...
Among all the men of similar age that she knew, her junior brother Wang Cheng stood out from the crowd.

In just over a month, the two of them had experienced more than many people's entire lives, and being with him made them feel exceptionally happy and relaxed.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have dressed so casually and gone to Wang Cheng's bedchamber tonight; it was simply because she subconsciously let her guard down around him.

The Great Zhao Law states: "All men aged sixteen and women aged fourteen and above are permitted to marry." By the time a woman reaches the age of fifteen and comes of age, most of her children are already married.

The Book of Song states: "If a woman is not married by the age of fifteen, her family will be punished."

I'm not a dragon girl or a fox spirit, a real demon with a long lifespan; I'm almost at the age where I should be thinking about settling down.

Shen Yueye is already twenty years old. Perhaps in Wang Cheng's eyes she is still just a little girl, but in an ordinary family, the child would probably already be calling her father and mother.

Her parents had brought this up with her before, but she always brushed it off with grand excuses like, "Your daughter wants to spend two more years with you."

Shen Yuting genuinely felt that there were no talented young men around him who were worthy of his precious daughter, so he let nature take its course.

But at this moment, Shen Yueye's heart began to waver.

If her father asked her the same question again, would she shyly and hesitantly reply, "It's up to my parents to decide"?
"So annoying!"

Putting these worries aside for the time being, and looking at his junior brother's amusingly embarrassed appearance, he felt exceptionally relaxed and happy, and became even more proud of his own charm.

The movements of his hands unconsciously became more and more intense.

She tiptoed, her delicate, magnolia-blossom-like hands hooking around Wang Cheng's chin. Their eyes met, her emerald pupils gleaming with a captivating allure.

"Your Majesty, come and arrest me!"

"If you catch me, I'll not only let you hear the fox howl, but also let you see the fox perform the Western Regions belly dance, and even the Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance, hehehe."

Her father passed down to her a secret Taoist book called "The Record of Listening to the Treasures in the Toad Palace," while her mother also had a secret Taoist book called "The Collection of Swallows Dancing Among Flowers."

Divided into: "Small hills overlapping, gold gleaming and fading; emerald hairpins and golden threads, two mandarin ducks; apricot blossoms, glistening with dew, clusters of fragrant snow."

"Jade tower and bright moon, I remember you forever; Phoenixes face each other, entwined with golden threads; The palace is full of bright moon and white pear blossoms; The bright moon is just at noon last night." and so on, forming a set of fourteen secret and extraordinary techniques.

She usually performs music and dance, and she can even dance Yunmeng's "Sixteen Heavenly Demon Dance".

When cultivation reaches its peak, it becomes two sides of the same coin, called "Bodhisattva" but actually "Heavenly Demon," with every move able to unleash the greatest advantage of the female assassin class, [Bodhisattva Barbarian], killing without a trace.

In short, Shen Yueye has everything that men want.

When her mother taught her personally, she learned very well, but she could never quite master this "beauty-killing" technique.

Now, when facing Wang Cheng, he uses it as naturally as eating and drinking, and all his previous psychological barriers have disappeared.

Wang Cheng's bones had only been half-melted just now, but now his whole body felt completely numb.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful senior sister so close to him, with her plump peacock-like breasts almost touching his chest, and the girl's faint fragrance, he felt as if something hot was about to flow out of his nose.

A cry urging in my heart:

"Who the hell can stand this?"

I am not a womanizer, but the flowers are in full bloom, and it would seem unromantic if I didn't appreciate them.

Seize her! Even if my master breaks my legs later, I, the Great King, must personally capture this vixen and show her why the flowers are so red!

She started all of this.

With a swift grab, Shen Yueye had already transformed into a red fox shadow and slipped out of his arms, leaving behind only a string of silvery laughter.

Wang Cheng was not to be outdone, and he also transformed into a blue dragon shadow and chased after them.

The dragon and fox, [Jiaomu Jiao] and [Xinyue Hu], chased and played around, while the bookworm spirit beside them could only see two figures moving around, its eyes unable to keep up with their speed.

He glanced back at the rich ink and fragrance of the book "The Influence of Sea Power" and sighed in despair, realizing that it was impossible for him to obtain the Daoist energy from it by seducing the author.

"The law decrees: Draw a circle on the ground to imprison yourself!"

A sinister laugh suddenly rang out in the Pear Blossom Palace. Shen Yueye, who was leaping into the air to clear the desk, froze and fell slumped onto the desk.

Wang Cheng, who was right behind her, grabbed her and, mimicking Shen Yueye's actions, lifted up her delicate, white chin.

"Hehe, beauty, I've got you." Shen Yueye was firmly suppressed by the strongest heavenly rules and earthly laws in this palace. Even though she was a fifth-rank [Bodhisattva Barbarian], she couldn't move at all.

Staring with her alluring, harmless fox-like eyes, she protested angrily:
"You cheat!"

Wang Cheng was not ashamed but rather proud, and was very pleased with himself.

"I don't care. Nothing is eternally true. If your methods are unrestrained and you can't cheat, how can you be a good assassin?"

you."

Looking down at his beautiful senior sister lying on the table with her long hair flowing down her shoulders and her clothes disheveled, which made her even more charming, he couldn't help but stare blankly.

Her skin reflected the glow of the sunset, her feet were delicate and graceful; under the lamplight, she was breathtakingly beautiful!
Her chest was exceptionally broad, and when she lay on the table, the delicate straps of her green dress seemed about to snap.

Wang Cheng's self-control seemed as fragile as that suspender strap, so fragile that it could break at any moment.

A classic choice between two equally desirable but not equally desirable options suddenly appeared before him.

"A vixen! What a deadly fox spirit!"

However, just as he couldn't help but get closer and closer, his gaze inadvertently fell on Shen Yueye's smooth, jade-like calf.

He was surprised to see an extremely faint blue cross emblem, and his gaze immediately sharpened.

Shen Yueye had not yet noticed anything amiss, only feeling Wang Cheng's burning gaze on her calves, her fair skin gradually turning red all the way up to her neck.

"Why is my junior brother staring at my legs? Does he like looking at legs?"
If he tries to take advantage of me later, should I agree? Agree? Or agree?

Shen Yueye was not annoyed at all; on the contrary, she felt a little bit of anticipation.

My junior brother is good-looking and young. If he were to take a bite out of me, who knows who would be taking advantage of whom?

At this moment, Wang Cheng suddenly released his senior sister from the "drawing a circle on the ground" restraint and pulled the puzzled girl up from the table.

He held her slender ankle, and with a serious expression pointed to the badge on her calf:

"Senior sister, did you notice this emblem?"

Shen Yueye was secretly pleased with her junior brother's intimate contact, but even with her wide fox eyes, she couldn't see what was on her calf.

Thinking he was teasing her again, she pouted her rosy lips slightly in dissatisfaction.

"There's nothing there, you're a liar."

Wang Cheng thought for a moment, then took out a silver bell anklet from the Luo family's treasury from the money box, tied it to Shen Yueye's ankle, and continued:
"Senior sister, I'll trade this anklet for that thing you can't see. Do you agree?"

The latter nodded with some skepticism.

Instantly, the invisible and intangible emblem landed in Wang Cheng's outstretched palm, allowing Shen Yueye to see what it was.

Rare find: Navigational marker
Saint Vincent was the guardian of navigation. The "Tide Rider" Carlo secretly left behind a very subtle navigational beacon that could locate targets at any time through a simple ritual.

Both of them simultaneously sharpened their gazes:
"That red-haired devil was definitely up to no good!"

But once the conspiracy is exposed, it poses no further threat.

As long as a powerful "Star-Tracing Official" performs a ritual, it's even possible to pinpoint the location of the opposing General Zhenhai and carry out a precise decapitation.

As it happened, they knew a powerful star-gazing official who had fallen from the highest rank of the three ranks.

However, if they don't understand the other party's intentions, they will always feel uneasy, and this matter needs to be considered carefully.

Having resolved this potential problem, Shen Yueye looked at her exceptionally reliable junior brother and felt even sweeter inside. She blurted out:
"Junior brother, what do you think of me?"

Just as I was about to say something, I noticed that one of the sticks of incense sticks in the incense burner next to me suddenly ignited without a flame, and wisps of blue smoke rose up.

Somewhat annoyed, she said, "Who would be looking for you this late?"

When Wang Cheng saw the label on the incense and then looked at his own posture of touching his senior sister's calf, he was terrified.

"It's all over, it's your dad!"

Shen Yueye also exclaimed in surprise:
"ah!!!"

They separated as quickly as if they'd been caught cheating by their fathers.

Two streaks of light flashed by, and the two people in their ambiguous poses immediately returned to the table and sat up straight and properly.

Shen Yueye quickly helped her junior brother straighten his collar, which she had messed up, while Wang Cheng considerately tidied up his senior sister's hair at her temples. Although they were in a hurry, they were perfectly in sync.

Soon, the smoke from the burning incense transformed into a somewhat blurry old face. Who else could it be but their master/father, Shen Yuting?

The old man saw Wang Cheng sitting upright at the table like a primary school student and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation:
"Fugui, I'm already grateful if you don't lie sprawled out when I send you messages. When did you become so respectful to your teacher? This old man is a little unaccustomed to it."

Then I saw Shen Yueye sitting next to me, and I was filled with curiosity:
"Ruyi? Why are you two still up so late? What are you doing together?"

Without even exchanging glances, the two said in unison, "Master/Father, we're playing hide-and-seek!"

Although it was a bit strange that his precious daughter and his closed-door disciple were playing hide-and-seek late at night, at least there was a "lady in green" serving them, so they weren't exactly alone together.

Besides, he had urgent business to attend to and couldn't concern himself with such minor details. He casually asked a question and quickly brushed it off, saying to them in a hurry:

"It's good that you two are together. I need to talk to you both."

Yesterday, Zheng Qian returned to the second largest shipyard in Dazhao, Minzhou, which is under the control of the Zheng family, to visit relatives at the Wuhumen Shipyard in Minzhou. He then suddenly disappeared.
