Chapter 628: She can rise to the top with him! (Please subscribe, please monthly
As cultivators, Lu Mumu and Lian Xing also occasionally had drinks and banquets, and they were quite confident in their own alcohol tolerance.
Seeing that Commandant Cheng hadn't returned for a long time, they thought perhaps he was still busy with military affairs. Since it was a warm invitation from Madam Cheng, having a meal and waiting a while wouldn't hurt, so they half-heartedly agreed.
Ren Ling, as a tavern owner, naturally had a massive capacity for alcohol. She chatted and laughed, constantly urging them to drink.
That "Forget-Sorrow Drunk," when first tasted, was indeed sweet and mellow, like nectar, carrying a rich fruity aroma without a trace of spicy irritation.
Lu Mumu and Lian Xing only thought it was ordinary fruit wine, so they relaxed and confidently raised their cups to drink, drinking several more cups without realizing it.
However, this wine had a powerful after-effect. The intoxication rose quietly, and by the time they noticed, they were already dizzy and their limbs were weak.
How could two inexperienced young girls be a match for Ren Ling, an old hand at the drinking table? In less than an hour, their cheeks were flushed, their eyes blurred, and they were slumped on the table, muttering "Good wine," "Another cup," clearly already out of their minds and at the mercy of others.
Just at this moment, Li Chen returned to the residence after handling military affairs.
As soon as he entered the living room, he saw the two mature beauties, Tuoba Anyu and Ren Ling, smiling at each other, while at the table, the two young beauties with different temperaments but equal beauty, Lu Mumu and Lian Xing, were already slumped over, looking drunk and charming.
Li Chen was slightly startled and looked at Tuoba Anyu, asking with his eyes what was going on.
Tuoba Anyu pursed her lips and smiled, pulled him aside, and briefly explained the origins and intentions of the two girls in a low voice. Finally, her eyes shifted, she glanced at the two young girls who were almost unconscious, and asked with a light laugh: "Husband, what do you think should be done?"
Her tone carried a hint of teasing and a clear implication.
Li Chen looked at the two drunk, defenseless young beauties before him—one cold as the moon, one ethereal and refined; both were beauties of the human world.
He had felt that life at the border was a bit dull these past few days, and now that delicacies had delivered themselves to his door, how could he let them go? A smile curled his lips, and he said in a low voice:
"Since Madam has arranged it so warmly, I would be remiss to refuse. Naturally, I shall board the carriage first and buy the ticket later."
Tuoba Anyu and Ren Ling looked at each other and smiled, both wearing expressions that said, "As expected."
Ren Ling even nudged Tuoba Anyu with her arm, lowering her voice to tease: "You, you spoil your husband every day, letting him wreak havoc on these fresh young girls outside. I really don't know what you, the legitimate wife, are thinking."
Tuoba Anyu only smiled brightly and replied meaningfully: "As long as he likes it."
She thought to herself, I can't tell you that he isn't an ordinary commandant, but the current Son of Heaven, and taking a few beauties is the most normal thing in the world.
That night, the red curtains were warm, and the spring scenery was boundless.
The next morning, Lian Xing woke up first, feeling her whole body sore. When she saw the face of the man sleeping beside her and her own situation, she was instantly shocked, her beautiful eyes widening, her cheeks turning bright red.
She had actually become Commandant Cheng's woman?! Her heart was first filled with panic and shyness, but then a secret joy surged up.
She had already been enamored with Li Chen, and now that things had turned out this way by accident, it didn't seem bad at all.
At least, from now on, she wouldn't have to return to the Jiaofang Division to welcome guests, and could safely be his woman.
As for the Jiaofang Division, the procuress had long guessed from various signs that this "Commandant Cheng" had an unfathomable background. Not only did she not dare to pursue the matter, but she had already sent people to bring many supplies, trying hard to please Lian Xing.
She was hoping that when Li Chen's identity was revealed in the future, she could rise to the top with him.
Although Lian Xing vaguely felt that Li Chen's identity was not as simple as an ordinary commandant, out of admiration and her current sense of belonging, she didn't dwell on it much.
As for Lu Mumu, after waking up, she fell into a state of great confusion and embarrassment.
