Chapter 141

After a moment of silence, he spoke: "I will ask you just one question."

"What?"

"How many men have you had?"

The woman's laughter ceased, then the fragrant curtains parted, and a graceful figure in a light, sheer robe emerged, swaying her body.

Under the lamp light, the exquisite body beneath the thin gauze was hazy, as if shrouded in a layer of white mist.

Dong Shiniang walked up to Jiang Sishui, draped her two arms over his shoulders, her crystal-clear, wave-like eyes holding a trace of drunken confusion, and smiled infatuatedly.

Her rosy, full lips pressed to Jiang Sishui's ear, she gently parted her red lips and breathed like orchids: "Take me."

Those two short words were like a single spark igniting an explosion.

The moon reached the zenith of the sky, then began to set eastward.

Unknowingly, the sky gradually brightened.

With soft jade and warm fragrance in his embrace, Jiang Sishui fell silent for a long while, then sighed lightly: "I didn't expect you to still be..."

"I am still a maiden; that surprises you greatly, doesn't it?" Dong Shiniang leaned against his chest, eyes closed, and chuckled softly.

"I thought that in a place like the Liuhe Gang... and your sect leader is a man, and you are so seductive, it is truly..."

"So, you got the better deal. You must treat me well from now on."

"Rest assured, I treat you all equally and will never abandon you."

Jiang Sishui understood that a woman who had just given herself was at her most sensitive and vulnerable moment.

So, knowing that Dong Shiniang was seizing the opportunity to claim her due rights, he made the promise without hesitation.

Having received the answer she wanted, Dong Shiniang's hanging heart finally settled completely.

Like a drifting leaf finding its root, she could no longer hold herself up; she buried her head deeper into Jiang Sishui's chest and murmured low: "I'm sleepy..."

Before Jiang Sishui could answer, she had already fallen asleep.

..... 0

And with this night, the fire in Jiang Sishui's heart was finally extinguished.

Or perhaps, it was precisely because of Dong Shiniang's existence that it had kept flaring up repeatedly.

Now that his wish was granted, he was naturally content and satisfied.

Turning his head to look at the woman beside him, Jiang Sishui smiled slightly.

Both were first times; perhaps due to her older age, one Dong Shiniang was worth about five Wang Yuyans!

This made Jiang Sishui unable to help but feel relieved; the "Body of Invincibility" had come at the perfect time.

Otherwise, just with the ladies here at the Mandala Shanzhuang, one round would almost exhaust him, let alone the countless beauties in the Central Region.

Indeed, the system was reliable.

After accompanying Dong Shiniang for another half hour, Jiang Sishui quietly left again, returned to Wang Yuyan's boudoir, and embraced the young girl into sleep.

Having rushed back and forth all night, he was now exhausted.

At dawn, only when the maid came to call for breakfast did he slowly wake up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Wang Yuyan slightly narrowing her phoenix eyes, gazing quietly at him.

Seeing Jiang Sishui awake, the young girl's eyebrows curved: "Jiang Lang, you are awake."

Jiang Lang?

Noticing the change in Wang Yuyan's address, Jiang Sishui leaned his head forward, pressing his forehead against hers, and smiled slightly: "Breakfast is ready; can you get up?"

Wang Yuyan's eyes shifted, and she coquettishly said: "I want Jiang Lang to carry me on his back."

"Very well, I will do as you wish." Jiang Sishui laughed heartily and picked her up.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Sishui brought breakfast for Dong Shiniang again.

As for Wang Yuyan, she had been called away by Bai Feifei and others, the "experienced ones."

After all, the Classic of the Plain Girl was truly too profound and extensive; they also wanted to know if Wang Yuyan, as a martial arts prodigy, had any unique insights on it.

Because she had slept late, Dong Shiniang had not yet risen at this hour.

Jiang Sishui entered the room, approached the bed, and as soon as he reached out and touched her body, Dong Shiniang suddenly woke up, her internal Qi instinctively beginning to circulate!

This was an instinctive reaction cultivated from years of living as if walking on thin ice.

After clearly seeing Jiang Sishui's face, the memories of last night rushed into her mind all at once; Dong Shiniang's heart relaxed, and she smiled: "It is you."

Jiang Sishui leaned down and kissed her forehead lightly: "From now on, living here, there will be no danger, nor will anyone make you do dangerous things; you can rest assured and sleep a peaceful 'three-two-three' sleep."

A peaceful sleep...

Dong Shiniang was stunned for a moment, her heart warmed; her green-fingered index finger traced across Jiang Sishui's chest, carrying a hint of teasing, and she said in a delicate voice: "It seems I did not follow the wrong person."

Looking at Dong Shiniang, whose every frown and smile carried charming allure, Jiang Sishui almost lost his self-control.

Suddenly remembering something, he said: "From now on, once you leave the Mandala Shanzhuang, you can no longer wear that kind of clothing. Your husband also has a large family and estate; I am not short of money for a few scraps of fabric."

Hearing this, Dong Shiniang was stunned, looked down at her belly, and smiled with her eyes: "Good~ I will listen to you."

Jiang Sishui smiled in satisfaction.

"I brought you breakfast; do you want to eat it now?"

"Mm, I am hungry too."

"It is time to replenish your strength."

"... You brute!"

……

After her meal, Thirteenth Lady Dong went straight to catch up on sleep, while Jiang Sishui continued on his way.

Today, the one accompanying Jiang Sishui was A Bi, and at Shi Hongying's insistent request, after a slight hesitation, he brought her along as well.

Right under his nose, he wasn't afraid Shi Hongying would run off.

Jiang Sishui rode together with A Bi on one horse, one arm around A Bi's slender waist, the other holding a small, delicate object.

After examining it carefully for a long while, he said, "This is the body of a wine-goblet cup."

Shi Hongying nodded and said in an uncertain tone, "It should be."

Jiang Sishui handed the goblet body back and asked, "Your brother wanted to give this thing to the King of Abeila?"

"I heard this object is of great importance, tied to a huge secret. The Xueyueshen Sect takes it very seriously, so they specially sent Hei Hei Qiling, the chief of the Four Great Protectors, to come meet and escort it," Shi Hongying said, pushing it back as she spoke.

Jiang Sishui was stunned: "You don't want it?"

"I don't want it—it's yours!"

"Why?"

"Since this thing is so important, it's a hot potato. I don't want it! Once I give it to you, the ones who want it won't come looking for me, and my brother won't come bother me either."

Hearing Shi Hongying's rather unfeeling words, Jiang Sishui found it amusing: "So I've basically been your human shield? What if I can't beat those people either?"

"Aren't you not even afraid of the King of Abeila?"

"Maybe I was just bragging?"

Shi Hongying gave a "tch" of disbelief, not buying his nonsense at all.

How much weight Jiang Sishui could throw around—could she still not know?

"If you can't beat them, then just hand the thing over to them. Alright, take me back."

"Back? Where to?"

"Mantuo Shanzhuang."

"……You came out just to tell me this?"

"That's right! You've already made enemies of the Xueyueshen Sect—I can't just leave you in the dark, can I?"

Jiang Sishui understood.

So he sent Shi Hongying back again.

As long as it wasn't back to Liuhe Gang, anything was fine.

"Heavenly Sword…"

Jiang Sishui narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced down at the sword at his waist, and silently began calculating.

When passing through a town, he paid a professional at a shop to fashion the goblet body into an ornament—exquisite, yet not concealing its original appearance.

"A Bi, let me put it on you."
