Chapter 559: You can't enjoy it now, I want to enjoy it! (Seeking subscriptions)

Her snow-white skin was revealed in the low-cut design, showing a large expanse of spring scenery. Her golden curly hair was coiled into a complex bun, adorned with pearl hair accessories.

She performed a standard noble salute to Li Chen, the deep cleavage on her chest appearing and disappearing.

Second Lady Sophia was wearing a pale pink gauze dress, her slender waist and full hips forming a startling contrast.

She had the typical face of an Eternal Day beauty: a high, straight nose, emerald eyes, and full red lips like rose petals.

When she leaned over to pour wine for Li Chen, the snow-white at her neckline was dazzling.

"A toast to the distinguished guests from afar." Guinevere raised her glass, her voice as sweet as honey.

She deliberately lingered by Li Chen's side, the scent of her expensive perfume lingering.

Sophia was not to be outdone: "My lord from the Profound Heaven Sect, you must taste the specialty delicacies of our Eternal Day."

Li Chen seemed very interested in these two women of high-ranking Eternal Day surnames.

Alfred narrowed his eyes to observe this scene, not only not jealous but secretly smug.

He had long since made up his mind to use his two most favored wives as bait tonight to make this foreigner lower his guard.

You just keep looking, kid; you can't eat it anyway. But later, I'll be able to eat the ones by your side.

This is Alfred's thought: the more you look, the harder I will exert myself later.

"I wonder what Young Master Li does in the Profound Heaven Sect?" Alfred asked casually, while cutting the roast venison on his plate.

Li Chen sipped his red wine and smiled faintly: "Just doing some small business."

A trace of contempt flashed in Alfred's eyes, thinking to himself that he was indeed just a merchant.

He feigned enthusiasm and said: "The Profound Heaven Sect is a good place! My uncle went there the year before last and brought back many novelties."

He changed the subject: "However, in our Eternal Day, the status of merchants is not high. Young Master Li is able to marry so many beauties; your business must be very large?"

This remark was clearly testing Li Chen's background.

Xuan Ji frowned as she listened from the side, the dinner knife in her hand trembling slightly.

Li Chen, however, didn't care at all and instead followed his words: "It is indeed not small. I can have a say in the business of the entire Profound Heaven Sect."

Alfred almost laughed out loud, thinking that this Easterner didn't even draft his lies when bragging.

He pretended to be admiring and raised his glass: "That is truly remarkable! Come, a toast to Young Master Li's 'big business'!"

By the time the banquet was halfway through, Alfred's eyes were already moving over Hua Rumeng and the others without any concealment.

Especially when Lady Liu leaned over to pick up a dropped handkerchief, his greedy gaze almost pierced through her gauze dress.

Alfred suddenly suggested: "Young Master Li, why not let the ladies go to the back garden to enjoy the moon? We men can chat about some business matters."

"Young Master Li's business in the Eternal Day Empire must have encountered many troubles, right? As long as I, Alfred, step in, they can all be solved easily!"

Merchants from the Profound Heaven Sect face many difficulties trying to do business in the Eternal Day Empire, even for the business giants of the Profound Heaven Empire, it is unavoidable. Of course, for Alfred, who is a member of the Holy Clan, these are just a matter of a single word.

Now Alfred's meaning is, of course, to tell Li Chen that this is an opportunity I am giving you; don't be ungrateful!

At this moment, he had already arranged plenty of manpower in the back garden. As long as these beauties by Li Chen's side entered the back garden, not a single one would be able to run away tonight.

"Very well." Li Chen nodded slightly. As he spoke, a purple crystal token slipped from his sleeve and fell to the ground with a crisp "clink."

The maid serving on the side wanted to bend down to pick it up for Li Chen, but as soon as she saw the pendant on the ground, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Ah? The highest-level purple crystal token of the Holy See, my heavens!"

She withdrew the palm that wanted to pick up the pendant on the ground, not daring to touch that sacred object with her "dirty" palms at all, and just knelt down piously. ===== CHAPTER 560 =====
