Chapter 390

It seemed that warlords like Cao Cao were already beginning to stir.

For instance, he had started putting effort into intelligence gathering.

This could already be seen from Cao Cao’s actions just now!

It was clearly an attempt to probe him, and he even had designs on his Red Blood Dragon Cavalry!

Soon.

When all the warlords were seated.

Yuan Shao, who was not the host, stood up and, usurping the host's role, was the first to have the warlords raise their cups to drink together.

Furthermore, he clapped his hands, and a troupe of dancers appeared, actually beginning to sing and dance right in front of the warlords.

Seeing this scene, Su Li could only say a few words: how truly decadent!

But he liked it too.

This troupe of dancers was quite attractive, and watching them sing and dance was still very pleasant.

Su Li’s eyes wandered over these dancers.

He didn't care much for the beauty of these NPC beauties, because Zhao Yu and Linglong were also beauties—beauties of a higher level than these dancers—and Su Li was already accustomed to such things.

What he was more interested in was the special nature of this group of dancers.

From time to time, they displayed a sense of charm; this charm was not only captivating but also faintly carried an air of boosting morale.

If Su Li was not mistaken, this group of NPC dancers was very likely a special unit type or special talent.

If he could take them back to his barracks, he might even enjoy some kind of special bonus.

"I didn't expect Lord Su to also love such romantic pastimes."

At this moment, seeing Su Li staring fixedly at the dancers on the stage, Yuan Shao said with some hidden meaning.

He was quite interested in this "Outsider" lord; being able to become a Prefect as an Outsider, his ability was definitely evident.

Upon hearing this, Su Li suddenly stood up, looked at Yuan Shao, and cupped his hands: "I do indeed enjoy these romantic pastimes, but unfortunately, I have no dancers by my side. If Lord Yuan is willing to part with them and gift these women to me, I would be eternally grateful."

""

As soon as these words fell, the other dozen or so warlords fell silent, and all of them looked at Su Li in unison.

They had never seen such a shameless person; to actually ask Yuan Shao for women directly on the stage—was that even allowed?

At this moment, Yuan Shao also regretted engaging with Su Li.

He had only wanted to tease this Outsider warlord to liven up the atmosphere, but who knew Su Li would be so bold as to ask him for the special dancers he had carefully cultivated.

One had to know that he hadn't even enjoyed these dancers himself yet.

The purpose of cultivating them was to boost morale on the battlefield.

"Lord Yuan’s righteous name is spread far and wide, and you come from a family of four generations of high officials. A mere few dancers..."

Su Li’s eyes flickered, and he used a goading tactic.

People like Yuan Shao cared most about their reputation; as long as you goaded them, anything was negotiable.

Sure enough, although Yuan Shao already had resentment toward Su Li in his heart, he could only smile on the surface: "Very well. I wonder which ones Lord Su has taken a fancy to?"

Originally, Yuan Shao thought Su Li only fancied one dancer and wanted to take her back to do things all men understood.

As a result, he never expected.

"This one, this one, and these as well..."

Su Li pointed at the dancers on the stage one by one.

Yuan Shao’s face turned ugly. This Outsider warlord’s appetite was too big, wasn't it? There were forty dancers in total, and he wanted more than half?!!

Wasn't he afraid of exhausting himself!

"With so many dancers, I fear Lord Su will not be able to handle them..."

Yuan Shao was bleeding inside. Although at their level, in this chaotic world, giving away twenty or thirty women wouldn't be a big deal, these were dancers he had carefully cultivated.

Not only were they all virgins, but each also possessed special skills that could boost the morale of troops before battle.

"I am also thinking of you, my lords. Now that Dong Zhuo occupies Luoyang and has stationed troops at Hulao, with a great enemy before us, how can we indulge in pleasure? We would surely be criticized by the people of the world!"

"If you hand these dancers over to me, the world will only curse me alone. Let me bear this infamy alone."

Su Li straightened his body, looking sanctimonious, which was truly punchable.

Shameless...

Truly shameless!

The warlords present were all ambitious heroes of their time, and their faces were all thick, but they had never seen such a shameless person!

How could they not see Su Li’s true intention? It was just for these dancers with special effects.

However, what Su Li said did have some truth to it; now was not the time for indulgence.

"You all go with Lord Su later."

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth. Since this Outsider warlord had spoken to the extent of being criticized by the world, whether out of concern for his reputation or to avoid being criticized, he had no choice but to give these carefully cultivated dancers to Su Li.

"My lord, you must not..."

At this time, a strategist beside Yuan Shao stood up.

It was Xu You, who was at Yuan Shao’s side, and he immediately wanted to remind Yuan Shao not to give away a troupe of dancers just for the sake of his reputation.

Although these dancers were only a small part of Yuan Shao’s forces, they were indeed not easy to cultivate, and each was a special talent.

As a result, before Xu You could finish speaking, Su Li bowed deeply and walked up: "Lord Yuan is righteous and worthy of being from a family of four generations of high officials. I will repay Lord Yuan’s kindness in the future!"

Su Li bowed to thank Yuan Shao, even saying he would repay the kindness. Even if Xu You wanted to say something, there was no room for reversal...

Otherwise, going back on his word would be even more disgraceful.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao could only wave his hand. Even for him, it was heartbreaking to give away special talents that had been so hard to cultivate.

He then ordered the remaining dancers to leave, not daring to let them continue to provide entertainment, fearing other warlords would come to ask for them too.

As for the thirty dancers, upon hearing that Su Li had asked Yuan Shao for them, they felt some fear, afraid that Su Li would take them back for other purposes...

After all, in this world, one could imagine what the consequences would be after a woman was given away.

However, they lacked martial strength, and facing the choice of the warlords, they had no other way but to obey.

Fortunately, upon closer inspection, Su Li was quite handsome and heroic; if he really had some purpose, they could accept it in their hearts.

Su Li led the thirty dancers away directly, not caring what Yuan Shao or the other warlords thought of him.

Anyway, in this world, what mattered was strength.

As long as his strength was sufficient, doing anything was fine.

On this point, Cao Cao, who loved other men's wives, could be said to call him an expert.

At this moment, Cao Cao’s pair of thieving eyes were spinning, looking at Su Li and then at the group of dancers, seemingly muttering something to himself.

"This Outsider Su Li is truly a man's man; even I, Cao Mengde, have to admire him. It's a pity these dancers haven't been 'opened'... otherwise..."
