Chapter 104: Just an Old Friend Returning

At this moment, in Miao Dong's eyes, Hong Yao already had a strange face. But her graceful figure still reminded him of someone—his former wife, the fox demon woman who had accompanied him for many years in poverty.

It was just that back then, after they had been together for a long time, when the passion between men and women faded, and when he was focused on fame and fortune, he couldn't see any of his wife's merits, only seeing her as a chicken rib, tasteless to eat, so he thought of using his wife to trade for a future.

Now, he was already famous and wealthy, with many wives and concubines at home, and he was even raising all kinds of beauties here.

But when he browsed through the flowers, he realized that among those warblers and swallows, not a single one possessed the grace and charm Hong Yao had back then.

So, when he saw the woman whose figure was so similar to his wife's, he chose her without hesitation.

Lin Qingyue also used a disguise talisman on herself; she wasn't afraid of being recognized, she just made herself ugly to avoid dealing with those disgusting men.

The women who were not chosen were to be sent back to their residences. Lin Qingyue just made a wrong turn and avoided the guards who were escorting them, and then returned to Qionglou again.

But she didn't go to the place upstairs where the nobles were having fun, but went below Qionglou.

When she came earlier, she had noticed.

Besides going up, the stairs also extended downward. And in that direction, there was very strong resentment.

What secret was hidden under Qionglou? Lin Qingyue naturally had to explore it!

Inside Qionglou.

"Take off the veil."

Young Master Li stared lustfully at Dongfang Qi: Such a wonderful figure, even the hands were so beautiful, I don't know what kind of enchanting and seductive face he has!

Thinking about it, his heart began to itch.

As a result, the next moment, the veil fell, revealing a face with a collapsed nose, crooked mouth, and full of freckles.

The smile on Young Master Li's face collapsed, leaving only disappointment: "How could it be so ugly? Clearly, your eyes, eyebrows... no, just now looking from afar, the eyes were quite beautiful, how did they become ordinary when walking up close?"

Looking at his temperament again... the temperament is also wrong, there is no noble temperament at all. He is just an ordinary brute!

Young Master Li was very angry: "Lord Miao, what kind of goods are these, how did you choose them?"

Lord Miao hurriedly said: "Young Master, don't be angry, maybe the people below were clumsy and didn't pay attention for a moment."

While speaking, he was preparing to drive Dongfang Qi away.

Dongfang Qi also turned around and prepared to leave, but heard a voice from behind: "Wait!"

Young Master Li stood up and slowly walked behind him to look carefully: "Looking from the front, it's not much. But your back... is very similar to a classmate of mine."

"Oh? Which one?" Miao Dong asked.

If it were elsewhere, Young Master Li might not have said it, but he knew that everything that happened here would not be spread out, so he spoke without taboo:

"It looks exactly like the Crown Prince!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the four seats were shocked, and even Dongfang Qi frowned secretly.

Young Master Li said triumphantly: "I was fortunate enough to be selected as a companion to the Crown Prince when I was young, accompanying the Crown Prince to study. The Crown Prince was graceful and elegant, like an immortal descending to the world, which is truly admirable. It's a pity he didn't have a penchant for the same sex, otherwise, I would definitely have recommended myself to be his pillow companion!"

Dongfang Qi: "..."

This Monarch wants to gouge out your eyes, and then let Xiao Hui bite you to death!

Lin Qingyue and Hong Yao were also on the stage, with white silk cloth covering their eyes in a fake manner.

Hearing Li Duo's words and noticing Dongfang Qi's reaction, Lin Qingyue immediately guessed that it must be an acquaintance.

Now there was still a veil covering him, but once the distance was close, he would definitely be recognized.

So, Lin Qingyue quickly pulled out a disguise talisman. When Dongfang Qi walked past her, she struck it into his back and whispered a reminder: "The effective time of this talisman is two hours; within this time, no one will see through your true face."

Dongfang Qi felt relieved secretly upon hearing this, thinking: How could a meal for them take more than two hours?

The disguise talisman was originally prepared by Lin Qingyue specifically for Hong Yao, fearing she would be recognized by Miao Dong.

Before, at Doctor Wang's place, Hong Yao could still use some demon arts. But in Qionglou, there was a very powerful formation, and Hong Yao's demon power was suppressed and could not be used.

However, these had no effect on Lin Qingyue at all—she wasn't a demon.

Dongfang Qi was selected and brought before Young Master Li. And Miao Dong, Lord Zhou, and the other noble guests also chose the women they liked to accompany them for drinks.

It was a coincidence that Miao Dong chose Hong Yao at a glance.

"Young Master Li, this is the best red jade I have cultivated in the past two years. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a rare treasure passed down through the ages. The defective products of the same batch, I put them on the market in Donglin, and they were quickly snapped up, in short supply. If it can be mass-produced, it will definitely make a lot of money!"

Young Master Li said: "These are truly treasures, treasures! However, making money is secondary right now. As long as you have power, why worry about not having money? The most important thing now is to win over my brother-in-law, Prince Li. Only in this way, when he ascends to a high position in the future, can you people follow and rise to heaven."

"Of course, jade must continue to be cultivated. Control the output every year, don't produce too much at once. No matter how good something is, once it floods, it won't be worth anything."

"Only by controlling the output can the white jade that was originally worth one tael of silver transform into a red blood treasure jade that is hard to find for a thousand gold!"

Miao Dong said: "Yes! Young Master has a long-term vision, we have been taught!"

Young Master Li said: "Alright, put these red jades away. I will take them when I leave, my brother-in-law will definitely like them."

Miao Dong waved his hand and had people send the red jade down.

"The jade has been seen, next, Young Master, enjoy yourself!"

Miao Dong gave a wink, the sound of silk and bamboo music rose, and the dancers swung their water sleeves and danced gracefully.

And he also sat back in his seat, staring at Hong Yao beside him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your figure is just like an old friend returning."

"Where is that old friend now?" Hong Yao asked.

"Old friend..." He thought of the fox demon who suddenly appeared and wanted to assassinate him not long ago, and smiled slightly, "Old friend, there will always be a day to meet again."

He had already made full preparations, as long as she appeared again, he would never let her leave again.

"Come, beauty, drink." He personally poured a glass of wine for Hong Yao, his eyes also becoming exceptionally gentle, "Serve me well, I will definitely treat you well."

Hong Yao didn't drink, her slender fingers holding the celadon wine cup, and she attentively sent it to the man's lips: "The slave will feed you wine, my lord, please drink."

Miao Dong's eyes narrowed, and he drank the nectar and jade liquid from the beauty's hand slowly.

Next, Hong Yao kept feeding him wine.

Being close, she saw the protective Buddha plaque hanging on his neck. With this thing, she had no way to harm him.

But if he were to be drunk, and then find a way to coax him to take off the Buddha plaque himself, then even without using demon arts, Hong Yao could kill him!

On the other side, Young Master Li had another teenager beside him. He hugged the teenager and drank cup after cup of wine, but his eyes kept glancing at Dongfang Qi's back.
