The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

Cao Yuan gazed at the Snow Maiden on the stage, her beauty as radiant as the moon reflected in a window, and was filled with admiration.

"You really enjoy watching beautiful women dance, don't you, my little man?"

Li Wu gently placed her hand on Cao Yuan's shoulder, and said with a half-smile, "How about I dance for you in the middle of the night? I can dance too."

Cao Yuan turned his head to look at Li Wu's beautiful face and chuckled, "Can you not wear clothes?"

Li Wu narrowed her beautiful eyes, her alluring gaze carrying a hint of playfulness, and exhaled a delicate fragrance as she gently patted Cao Yuan's face.

Do you want me to go without clothes?

Cao Yuan sensed a hint of danger.

But he still said from the bottom of his heart, "I really want to."

"Humph!"

Li Wu's charming smile vanished instantly, replaced by a cold expression.

"Then you should think about it carefully!"

Cao Yuan looked regretful; he knew Li Wu wouldn't agree.

Then Cao Yuan continued to appreciate the Snow Woman's artistic dance.

after awhile.

"You...do you really want to see me dance naked?"

Seeing that Cao Yuan was watching the Snow Maiden dance with great interest, Li Wu asked with a hint of jealousy.

Cao Yuan replied without hesitation, "You can take your time taking off your clothes. You don't have to come up here and not put on any clothes."

After saying that, Cao Yuan immediately sobered up.

Without realizing it, he blurted out his little scheme.

Li Wu will probably beat herself to death now.

"...Okay, I'll take it off slowly and dance for you, okay?"

Li Wu bit her lip, her alluring gaze falling on Cao Yuan's face, yet it was like a knife, cutting him deeply.

Even without looking at it, Cao Yuan could feel the chill.

However, as the saying goes, the bold get rich while the timid starve.

"Okay, once you get the treasure box, come to my room in the middle of the night."

After Li Wu gave a soft hum, she seemed to remember something, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she looked at Cao Yuan, who was watching the Snow Maiden dance with complete concentration, with a smile on her face.

You like watching striptease, huh? Just you wait!

After the Snow Maiden finished her dance, she gracefully departed, amidst cheers from the entire audience.

Yan Chunjun's eyes gleamed with a sinister light, but he made no move.

In the past, he would have already resorted to coercion and bribery to snatch the person away.

He glanced at Yan Dan beside him, and just as he was trying to come up with a reason, he suddenly remembered that when Xue Nu was dancing earlier, she wasn't wearing anything on her wrist.

"Jueying, did you not deliver the 'One Touch of Red' that I asked you to give to Miss Xue Nu?"

Yan Chunjun suddenly shouted.

Jueying bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have given it to Cao Yuan, the owner of Feixue Pavilion, and asked him to pass it on to Miss Xue Nu."

This is a common tactic they use.

Yan Chunjun immediately seized the opportunity to launch an attack.

"Very well, very well! I never expected there would be people in Yandu who dared to embezzle my things!"

"Men, seize Cao Yuan and throw him in jail!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuan calmly walked out.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my oversight. Your Majesty might as well go to the elegant room at the back and put it on Miss Xue Nu yourself. I think Miss Xue Nu will be very happy."

Cao Yuan's words caused a stir among the nobles in the pavilion.

Unexpectedly, Cao Yuan, who was deeply in love with Xue Nu, actually sent her into the tiger's den.

Even though many of them were scoundrels who had committed numerous evil deeds such as bullying men and women and forcing innocent women into prostitution, it did not prevent them from despising Cao Yuan.

At least for this moment, they felt that they had done the right thing by exploiting the people and committing all sorts of evil deeds.

Who made those common folk, all of whom were "spineless" like Cao Yuan?

Yan Chunjun laughed heartily.

"I see, Boss Cao, you're incredibly kind and thoughtful! I'll reward you with a hundred gold coins!"

Jueying immediately took out an exquisitely crafted gold note and presented it with both hands.

Cao Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and simply put it in his pocket.

Yan Dan remained silent throughout, watching as Yan Chunjun gradually entered the trap set by Cao Yuan.

"It's getting late, Dan is going back to the manor. Uncle, I'll take my leave."

After Yan Dan finished speaking, he left, which, in Yan Chun Jun's eyes, was the dejected departure of a loser.

"Your Majesty, this way please."

Cao Yuan glanced at Jueying, who was following Yan Chunjun, and said with a smile.

Yan Chunjun patted his big belly, looking as happy as a 200-kilogram seal.

"Good, good, Cao Yuan, you're very good."

Lord Yanchun, already impatient, followed Cao Yuan away with his large belly, causing the nobles inside and outside the pavilion to sigh with regret, but no one dared to say anything, only muttering to themselves that all the good cabbages had been eaten by pigs.

The heavy curtains fell, and the door was slowly closed.

Where is the Snow Woman?

Just as Lord Yanchun was feeling pleased, Cao Yuan smiled faintly and said, "What snow maiden? What nonsense are you spouting, Your Majesty?"

"Ok?"

Yan Chunjun's face darkened, but before he could get angry, Jueying behind him stammered, "Jing, Jing, Lord Jingni?"

Jingni looked coldly at Jueying, her hand holding the Jingni Sword firmly, the tip of the sword pressed against Jueying's throat.

No one knows how Jing Ni came to be.

Even though she didn't say a word, no one doubted that she could kill everyone in an instant.

Lord Yanchun was horrified and exclaimed, "Who are you?! Why are you trying to assassinate me?!"

Cao Yuan's lips curled slightly. "The owner of Feixue Pavilion, has Your Majesty lost your memory?"

Yan Chunjun calmed down and forced a tough stance, saying, "My men are everywhere inside and outside the pavilion, and there are over a hundred city guards. If you dare to harm me, everyone will pay with their lives!"

"is it?"

Cao Yuan waved his hand lightly, "Li Wu, give him some poison to taste."

Only then did Jueying and Yanchunjun realize that there was a seductive woman holding a black cat in the dark corner of the room.

"Little Black, go scratch him."

Li Wu glanced at Yan Chunjun with disgust, not wanting to touch him at all, and directly smeared the poison she had just prepared on the black cat's paw.

"Meow~"

The black cat leaped out of Li Wu's arms, took a running start, and pounced directly on Yan Chun Jun.

"what……"

Before Yan Chunjun could even scream, Cao Yuan flicked his finger and struck Yan Chunjun's acupoint to silence him.

Yan Chunjun was scratched by the cat and rolled on the ground.

"Hehehe..." Li Wu smiled and said to Xiao Hei, "Come back."

"Whoosh!"

The black cat darted back into Li Wu's arms.

Yan Chunjun was still rolling around on the ground, his body feeling as if it were being torn apart by thousands of ants.

A moment later, the poison's effects wore off.

Yan Chunjun lay on the ground, covered in sweat, panting heavily, as if he were completely exhausted.

Cao Yuan released Yan Chunjun's speech acupoint.

"Your Majesty, how is it?"

Yan Chunjun looked at Cao Yuan in fear.

"You, you, what do you want? You want money? I can give it to you!"

Cao Yuan shook his finger.

"No, I don't lack money. I just want to ask Your Majesty about one thing."

"Wh-what? I'll give you whatever you want."

Yan Chunjun tried hard to hide his fear.

Cao Yuan calmly asked, "I heard that the Prince of Yan once bestowed a bronze treasure box upon you. Is that true?"

"This one……"

"Hmm? Li Wu, again..."

"It's true! It's true!"

Yan Chunjun knelt on the ground and hurriedly said, "It's in my residence, in a secret room. Only I know how to open it."

Cao Yuan gave Yan Chunjun a deep look, then snapped his fingers: "Very good, let's go get the treasure box together tonight, shall we?"

Yan Chunjun, on the verge of tears, said, "Fine..."
