That mother-in-law chuckled. “Thy beauty stuns even the ol’ aide.”Bashfully, that lady stabbed her long finger into her “mother in law’s” forehead. “Wipe that smirk off your darn face!”The “husband” jumped in and rolled his eye. In a soft, harsh tone, he muttered, “Rabbit!”“Is it easy for me, huh?!” That “lady Zhong” grumbled bitterly. “The real woman refuses to dress up and made me, a real man, put on makeup and even sacrifice my cherished Lady Yun’s embroidery! And yet! Yet, none of you are grateful!”“Fine, fine. You did great. A natural-born talent in acting with unlimited seductive vibes emitting from you.” Meng Fuyao nestled over with a smile, admiring her “daughter in-law’s” acting.The “daughter-in-law” immediately leaned on Meng Fuya sensually and with his feminine fingers, he gently touched her and whispered, “A good person…”Suddenly, someone grabbed his collar from the back. The daughter-in-law turned back with much displeasure and reprimanded harshly, “Tie Cheng can you stop spoiling the mood every ti-”The “father-in-law,” which was Zhangsun Wuji, stared straight into his eyes with a smile. Zhangsun Wuji’s expressions were gentle, but his intentions were clearly written in his eyes: If you continue touching her, I will let Lord Yuan Bao serve you day and night…The daughter-in-law retreated and dragged his feet away, dejected. “Abandoned once used, huh…”The Aurora Spring festival lasted for seven days. Even though the Eldest Princess and the Third Prince ordered that none of the knights were allowed to leave the camp, the Amethyst Cape Knights and some of the high ranking Iron Guards could not help but sneak out, seduced by the bustling streets and excitement in the air and well, to enjoy the festival with the “civilians”.Naturally, the civilians they were going to enjoy the festival with were ladies.However, compared to the lawless Amethyst Cape Knights, the Iron Guards were much better. They usually only engaged with the prostitutes and especially after the deaths of many Amethyst Cape Knights at the Li Family’s place, they no longer dared to touch civilians. As per usual, the Amethyst Cape Knights and Iron Guards operated in their own territories and always minded their own business.The Eldest Princess and the Third Prince were afraid that the two would fight and would engage in unproductive rivalry. Thus, an order was given for that, and the two parties coexisted in peace.But something went wrong today.According to tradition, every Aurora Spring, the most popular courtesans from surrounding towns would make their way over to the city and perform their arts in hopes of gaining more recognition and having better deals. It was no different this time round. Beauties arrived, especially the one titled “Sensual Cloud.” But what did it mean by sensual cloud? Apparently, after attaining this skill, the body of this lady would be warm and soft like clouds and for the man who would come into contact with this body, one can only imagine what pleasure, what sensation they would experience!Actually, the desires of the lower half would always supersede the upper body. Playing the zither, reciting poems and painting were but secondary. When it came to the real charm, these skills could not hold a candle to Sensual Cloud. And so, the skilled courtesans in the city paled in comparison and could only watch on as everyone showered their attention on Sensual Cloud.This time round, Sensual Cloud chose a vastly different place to entertain her customers in comparison to the normal courtesan. She chose to be located Qixing River inside the city, one of the most renowned rivers in the city. Normally, there would be a couple of courtesans in boats, waiting for customers, and Sensual Cloud decided to do the same and chose this river. Derailing from her usual choice of a lavishly adorned boat, she instead opted for a small boat with red lanterns. And so, on the calm, beautiful water, she drifted comfortably, stirring up their customers with not just her beauty, but this feeling of serenity.Music played on cheerily as countless of men waited impatiently on the shore, waiting for the arrival of that beauty. Apparently, Sensual Cloud was not a normal courtesan that could be bought by any one; She was one with status, class, and popularity, and their clients must personally be picked by them.According to this lady:Even a chicken has personality!A small boat drifted in the midst of everyone’s expectations and stopped ten meters away from the shore.Everyone waited eagerly and anxiously. Amongst this crowd, there was one Amethyst Cape Knight leader and one Iron Guard leader. They gave each other a glance of disgust and turned away.There remained no movement from the small boat. The silence was, to the crowd, a dangling carrot that enticed them, yet remained so out of reach. Just before some exploded in frustration, the red lantern suddenly lit up, and a lady in simple clothes stood below the lantern.A soft, flowy dress that elevated the charm she had.The red lantern softened that lady’s features, shrouding it in obscurity. Even so, her celestial aura peeked through, enticing those who caught a glimpse of her.From the view of the crowd, they only saw her porcelain, smooth, pale hand. With her fingers from both hands crossed, her gracefully disposition made her a magnolia ¹ that bloomed only during dawn.The corner of her white dress resembled a white lotus, swaying gently to the breeze at the beginning of spring.The most beautiful of all was that beautiful contours. The simple dress and makeup could not hide the allure that came from within. Every curve at absolute perfection, as though a master craftsman personally carved every detail of her.From faraway, her seductive figure took the crowd’s breath away.Really… Sensual Cloud…But that lady did not utter a word and instead, entered the cabin. The gazes of the crowd could not help but follow her.The atmosphere quietened down, and then, the sound of the pipa resounded in the air.That piece was like a sudden bolt, as the strings rattled, dispersing the hazy clouds that hung over all pain and loss!The sound of each note seemed to call upon the seas and the five continent. They could feel the music in one’s veins, and the music thumped against one’s chest, bringing them the majestic view of the continent, the excitement of soaring high in the sky. All things magical and breathtaking – the sunrise, the mist, the breeze – seemed to one by one unfold itself in front of their eyes. The moon that hung high above the sky as they were transported to the bustling city of a dream.Everyone entered a dreamy state.The masterpiece of a century.Never once did they experience such a fusion between such thrill and serenity in one song. Each twist was natural, linking the song together perfectly. Putting the skills aside, just the fact that this song managed to illustrate three different atmospheres already made it a masterpiece.And how beautiful would the player of this piece be at the moment?Everyone was intoxicated with their fantasies of the charming lady and pipa, thinking about her body and curves. A fire burned in them, turning their last bit of logic into ashes, leaving only that seductive figure in their minds.The song ended, and a maid came out. With a flower on her finger, she smiled. “Great sirs, if I may ask, who would be willing to enjoy the night… with my lady?”Her last words in the sentence made the men’s lower half tighten up.The lady tossed the flower overboard and announced, “Whoever gets this flower, gets the prize.”That magnolia floated comfortably down the river.Immediately, ten figures flew up from the shore.The bodies of the men collided into each other. Then, the sound of weapons clashing could be heard.Half way through, someone yelled, “What the f*ck are you Iron Guards joining in the fun for?”“Ugly ass Amethyst Cape Knights, why can’t I come when you can!?”“This is the southern part of the city! Our territory!”“Who ever said that the Qixing river belongs to the southern part?”“My ass! Get out!”“You get out!”There were people continuously landing in the water. Even in the water, they still continued their brawl. The Amethyst Cape Knights and the Iron Guards had already held a grudge against each other for a very long time. It was due to the orders of the Eldest Princess and the Third Prince that they stopped themselves. Now that they both had strong desires to get the lady and that the Qixing river ran through both the Southern and Northern city. Since they weren’t breaking any rules, they decided that they were just going to beat the other party up!They continued to fight with one another even as they got onto the shore. They were both respected leaders in their army that hated each other. Furthermore, with such a pretty lady as a prize, how could they let go of this chance? If they let go of this chance, they would lose face!Their martial arts were on equal levels. The Amethyst Cape Knight leader rushed over to snatch the flower first, and the Iron Guard leader quickly followed suit. Exchanging a few moves, the two got the flower in their hands.Half each.The Amethyst Cape Knights yelled anxiously, “My half is larger! Me!”That boat drifted towards the north a little. Looking at the position of the boat and comparing it to the boundary given by the Third Prince, the Iron Guard exclaimed excitedly, “Now the boat is in the North! Me!”Just as he finished his sentence, that boat floated back towards the south. The Iron Guard’s claim made the Amethyst Cape Knight enraged as he blasted away. “You shameless, blind piece of sh*t!”“Assh*le! It was in my territory just now!”“You are looking for death, aren’t you?”“You muddle-headed fool!”“I will kill you right now!”“Next year, at this date, it will be your death anniversary!”Ping!Bam!“Murder-”With the exception of the fighting guard and knight, the rest of the civilians had already fled the scene.The boat swayed and rowed away. Of course, those barbaric killers were unable to notice, and even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to catch up.In the boat, the lady smiled as she served wine to the man sitting opposite her.“Your pipa skills enticed me.”That man leaned back against the pillow as his long fingers teased the strings. In the dimly lit room, his skin was smooth like jade.He looked up with a smile, gracefully, and seductively.
