The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

Fortunately, he had retrieved a cultivation method that made him immune to all poisons from the honey pot, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome.

But now...

"Madam, what do you mean...?"

Cao Yuan pretended his hand trembled, and the ceramic cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, as if three hundred axemen were about to rush in and chop him into mincemeat.

Lady Mingzhu's eyes were alluring and sparkling, carrying a hint of mockery and control, as if she could easily see through Cao Yuan's heart, making him involuntarily fall for her.

"It doesn't mean anything, I just fed the master some good food..."

She stood before Cao Yuan, her voice soft and alluring, stirring his heart, yet each word piercing his soul, as if she wanted to fully express the pleasure before ecstasy, as if she wanted to sink into depravity with Cao Yuan.

Cao Yuan swallowed hard as he looked at the trendy woman in a long purple dress, with a voluptuous waist and hips, narrow and alluring eyes, and a languid yet deadly aura.

Damn, this great white shark truly lives up to its reputation as a femme fatale—alluring, seductive, and dangerous.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this day and had practiced immunity to all poisons in advance.

So all he can say now is that the Tide Demoness's poison still needs further refinement.

"Ah..." Cao Yuan feigned surprise and asked, "What does Madam mean by this?"

Lady Mingzhu looked at the handsome Cao Yuan, her eyes filled with allure, and said seductively, "Little man, do I have to spell it out for you?"

"Then let me make it clear to you. Now, experience the excruciating sensation of ten thousand ants gnawing at your bones!"

Lady Mingzhu looked at Cao Yuan, her eyes sparkling with charm, and she laughed sweetly, her laughter soft and alluring, captivating the heart.

Cao Yuan suddenly smelled an extremely pleasant incense fragrance.

Holy crap... so direct?

How am I supposed to keep up this act?

After a dozen or so breaths.

Inside the hall.

Cao Yuan and Madam Mingzhu stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Silence... Silence.

"...You, you're not poisoned?"

Madam Mingzhu asked incredulously.

Her poison was carefully concocted by her; it was colorless and odorless, making it difficult for even top-tier experts to detect. Once poisoned, anyone who smelled her specially made incense would experience a depletion of internal energy and feel the excruciating pain of being devoured by a thousand ants.

Cao Yuan scratched his head, feigning ignorance, and asked, "Am I poisoned?"

Madam Mingzhu's pretty face darkened.

I seriously doubt that Han Yu's praise of Cao Yuan was genuine!

This guy looks like a complete idiot, a simpleton, a blockhead.

But if not, then...

"Are you making a fool of me?!"

"Madam, you misunderstand. I did not mean to tease you."

Cao Yuan suppressed a laugh and said with a serious expression.

How could Madam Mingzhu believe Cao Yuan's clumsy acting skills?

Her face darkened, and she said coldly, "Do you really think I can't do anything to you? You're courting death!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuan chuckled and said, "Is that so?"

Madam Mingzhu wanted to control him, so naturally he wouldn't surrender easily.

"Although I don't know why you weren't poisoned just now, or what methods you used, it doesn't matter. I have plenty of ways to deal with you!"

Cao Yuan smiled and said, "Oh? Is that so? Then I'll wait and see."

Madam Mingzhu curled her pink lips into a charming smile.

"It seems you have some skill, sir..."

Madam Mingzhu suddenly made her move, her killing intent palpable, choosing to drop the pretense.

She had just broken through to the first-class realm not long ago and hadn't had a chance to fully demonstrate her abilities yet, so she decided to test the waters with Cao Yuan today.

Cao Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

Unexpectedly, Madam Mingzhu possessed first-rate strength.

This is quite different from what we see in the anime.

However, he was not flustered, because he was at the peak of the half-step Grandmaster realm, only a hair's breadth away from the Grandmaster realm. Even if Madam Mingzhu was a Grandmaster expert, she could not do anything to him.

Confucius said, “A gentleman who is not dignified will not command respect.”

Cao Yuan used his words to convey his power, throwing a punch in mid-air to meet Madam Mingzhu's attack.

"boom……"

A muffled sound echoed from inside the hall.

Lady Mingzhu was knocked back several feet, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of her lips. She looked at Cao Yuan with surprise and uncertainty.

"Who exactly are you?"

Cao Yuan said calmly, "Who I am is not important. What is important is why you want to harm me today, Madam?"

Madam Mingzhu spat out a mouthful of blood.

Of course, she wouldn't tell Cao Yuan, in order to prevent him from spreading the fact that she knew how to use poison, so as not to arouse suspicion from Han Yu, Han Fei, and others, and thus make Han Wang'an, who was under his control, aware of it.

"Do you think that just because you are stronger than me, you can do anything to me?"

Madam Mingzhu wiped the bloodstains from the corner of her mouth and sneered disdainfully.

"Ok?"

Cao Yuan raised an eyebrow.

Lady Mingzhu grabbed her clothes with her delicate hand and tore them open in an instant, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin underneath.

Madam Mingzhu casually threw the torn purple dress on the ground and drew three scratch marks, each more than three inches long, on her chest with her fingernails.

She stared at Cao Yuan with a cold and aloof expression.

"I admit I am no match for you, but can you defeat me, and can you defeat the thousands of royal guards in the palace?"

Cao Yuan blinked.

At this moment, Madam Mingzhu was wearing a black tight-fitting lingerie that outlined her exquisite curves. Her shoulders and neck were covered with openwork lace, and large areas of her snow-white skin were exposed to the air, appearing and disappearing in the light and shadow, making her incredibly alluring and arousing.

Good grief, I never expected to encounter false accusations here.

A whole host of relevant modern cases immediately flashed through his mind.

Even if it can be proven that Chao Nv Yao took the initiative, it won't help.

After all, putting aside the facts, isn't he completely without fault?

"Heh, speechless now? Scared?"

Madam Mingzhu laughed again, looking completely in control.

She strode up to Cao Yuan with her long legs and an overwhelming aura. The alluring charm emanating from her very being, mixed with a faint fragrance, was like a gentle yet deadly net, seemingly capable of silently binding Cao Yuan to her intoxicatingly tender embrace.

Outside, the sun sets in the west.

The golden sunlight made Lady Mingzhu's figure even more alluring.

Cao Yuan suddenly smiled.

He carefully admired Madam Mingzhu's stunning beauty and graceful figure.

Lady Mingzhu's black hair cascaded down her back, with a few strands clinging to her fair neck, making the skin around her swan-like neck appear even whiter and more delicate.

And then there's the alluring curve of her figure, barely contained by the black strapless top, with the crisscrossing black straps creating an irresistible arc around her waist.

Everything about her speaks volumes about her allure, captivating the eye and making it impossible to look away.

After all, what decent woman would wear sexy lingerie under her clothes?

He felt that if we were to talk about which beauty in Qin's Time was the most alluring, Lady Mingzhu would be second to none; no one would dare to claim the top spot, as her charm was unmatched.

Madam Mingzhu tilted her head slightly, her eyes upturned, her narrow phoenix eyes showing a hint of doubt, but more so a captivating charm in her gaze.

As if remembering something, she slightly curved her lips into an alluring smile, with a hint of playfulness. Although she didn't say a word, her charming expression was like countless tiny, ticklish hands reaching out, making one's heart itch with desire.

"Sir, are you laughing at me? Do you really think you can leave the palace unscathed today?"

Lady Mingzhu stretched her delicate body slightly, her allure was natural, and every frown and smile was full of captivating charm, as if she had Cao Yuan completely under her control.

"Hehe, you're right, Madam. I was indeed laughing at you."

Lady Mingzhu asked with great interest, "What are you laughing at me for? My despicable methods? Or my shamelessness?"

Cao Yuan said seriously, "No, I was not mocking you, Madam, but rather smiling and admiring you."

"Oh? What do you admire about me?"

"Of course I admire the lady..." Cao Yuan teased, "She's so alluring~"

Madam Mingzhu paused for a moment, then said angrily, "What did you say?"

Cao Yuan stared at Madam Mingzhu's captivating, narrow phoenix eyes and said in a flirtatious tone, "I say, you're so seductive, you vixen~"

Madam Mingzhu was initially furious, but then she realized something and looked at Cao Yuan in shock, even forgetting that Cao Yuan had scolded her.

"you you……"

She pointed at Cao Yuan, speechless for a moment.

Cao Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Are you wondering how I knew you were the Azure Tide Sorceress of the Night?"

Madam Mingzhu couldn't respond and could only nod in silence. The alluring charm in her phoenix eyes vanished, replaced by wariness and vigilance.

The fact that she was the Tide Demoness was a top secret even within the Nightfall. Only her cousin Bai Yifei and General Ji Wuye knew about it. As for Emerald Tiger and the Straw-Cloaked Man, they only knew that there was a ruthless general from the Nightfall in the palace, and they might guess that it was her.

Therefore, how could she not be shocked and wary that Cao Yuan, an outsider who had just arrived in Xinzheng, could so easily reveal her identity in the night?
