Chapter 65 - Almost

Ye Chenfeng returned to the villa at noon.As he just stepped into the villa’s lobby, a fragrance peculiar to a young girl rushed into his nostrils, followed by Tang Xin throwing herself into his embrace.

Although Tang Xin was only twenty years old, her body had developed quite well, even surpassing her peers by several grades.

From this, one could predict that this little dame would be a disaster that could bring calamity to a nation.

“Chenfeng brother, you’re finally back, huh?” Tang Xin raised her head to look at Ye Chenfeng, her body unconsciously tightening against Ye Chenfeng’s embrace.

This made Ye Chenfeng feel overwhelmed.

He hadn’t even settled Zhao Wanting’s matter!

He absolutely must not provoke Tang Xin any further.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng not speaking, Tang Xin pouted and said, “Chenfeng brother, did you forget what you promised me last time?

You said that next time you came back, you’d agree to any request I made.

Xin’er wants to be your little woman.”

As she spoke the last sentence, Tang Xin’s pale cheeks flushed red, her moist lips slightly parted, looking like she was ripe for the picking.

“Xin’er, haven’t I already told you?

If you haven’t found someone you like by the time you’re twenty-five, then I’ll let you be my little woman.

We cannot break our promise,” Ye Chenfeng released Tang Xin, truly afraid that if things continued this way, he wouldn’t be able to control himself and would end up taking drastic measures with this little girl.

“Chenfeng brother, you’re lying; you clearly said you’d agree to anything I asked for,” Tang Xin persisted, her face reddening with reluctance.

“I did say that, but Xin’er, that request is definitely not okay,” Ye Chenfeng gently pinched Tang Xin’s tender nose, then said, “Xin’er, I have some things to handle right now.

I’ll keep you company later.

Don’t disturb me for a while.”

Having said that, Ye Chenfeng no longer paid attention to Tang Xin’s aggrieved expression and headed straight upstairs.

He was truly afraid of spending any more time with this little girl.

After all, our comrade Ye Chenfeng was a pure man with no issues regarding his sexual orientation!

Entering the second-floor bedroom, Ye Chenfeng took the palm-sized Illusory Tree Root out of the bag in his hand.

During his five days with the Zhaos, he had spent hours each day studying the Illusory Tree Root.

According to ancient texts he had seen in his previous life, the Illusory Tree Root could either be consumed directly or ground into powder for soaking in a bath.

Merely looking at it was useless; one had to put it into action!

Of course, he dismissed the idea of consuming it directly.

The notion of grinding the Illusory Tree Root into powder for a bath was barely acceptable to him.

Ye Chenfeng found an iron basin and placed the Illusory Tree Root inside, then promptly pounded it into powder with his fist.

Moving to the second-floor bathroom, he filled a bathtub with hot water and poured the powdered Illusory Tree Root into it, turning the clear water a brownish hue in the blink of an eye.

“To hell with it!

How can I know if it works without trying?” Ye Chenfeng, eyes closed and teeth clenched, stripped off his clothes in an instant and stepped into the bathtub.

After being fully submerged in the brownish water, Ye Chenfeng didn’t feel anything, and muttered discontentedly to himself, “It seems the records in the ancient book were just bluffs?”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Ye Chenfeng started to feel an itch all over his skin, as if countless ants were feasting on him.

The discomfort was unbearable, and no matter how much he scratched, there was no sign of relief.

As time went by, the sensation became more intense, and the water in the bathtub, originally brownish, started to fade, indicating the medicinal strength of the Illusory Tree Root was penetrating Ye Chenfeng’s skin.

Ye Chenfeng’s face flushed red, a burning heat within him as if he had taken some drug that incited desire.

He couldn’t help but roar from his throat, “Ah—”

Downstairs, Tang Xin, who was feeling gloomy, heard Ye Chenfeng’s shout and quickly ran upstairs.

She reached the bathroom door and knocked hard, asking anxiously, “Chenfeng brother, Chenfeng brother, what’s wrong?

What’s wrong with you?”

However, there was no response from the bathroom.

Tang Xin grew even more anxious and burst through the bathroom door, just to see Ye Chenfeng with his eyes tightly shut and a pained expression on his face, as if he had fallen into unconsciousness. Thɪs chapter is updated by NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet

Tang Xin walked up to the bathtub and shook Ye Chenfeng’s arm, saying, “Chenfeng brother, Chenfeng brother wake up!

Please wake up!”

“Hm?” Ye Chenfeng made a low sound from his throat, his eyes cracking open ever so slightly, his gaze losing its clarity.

With a splash— Tang Xin was abruptly pulled into the bathtub by Ye Chenfeng.

Just as the next step was about to take place, Ye Chenfeng suddenly regained his clarity, after all, his willpower was extraordinary.

Gently kissing Tang Xin on the forehead, Ye Chenfeng said, “Xin’er, I am sorry, just now I…”

“Chenfeng brother, Xin’er is willing to offer myself to you, I belong to only you in this lifetime,” Tang Xin’s cheeks still flushed.

Feeling Tang Xin’s deep affection, Ye Chenfeng thought, “Could it be that this life I, Ye Chenfeng, am really going to be an emperor?”

Tang Xin’s profound affection, Zhao Wanting’s fact of a done deal, made it impossible for Ye Chenfeng to bear parting with any one of these women.

“Xin’er, I can let you be my woman, but I still hope you can consider it,” Ye Chenfeng relented, but he didn’t plan to take Tang Xin then and there.

What if she regretted it later?

“Chenfeng brother, Xin’er doesn’t need to consider anymore.

I really don’t need to consider anymore,” Tang Xin said with a dazed look in her eyes.

Ye Chenfeng gently patted Tang Xin’s head and said with a resigned smile, “Alright, Xin’er be good.

Let’s just let things take their course!”
