50: Ao Ye teaches you how to flirt with girls

Great Chu Kingdom, Royal City.

The Eastern Land had now entered the severe winter months.

People on the streets wore thick padded jackets, their hands tucked into their sleeves, and every breath they exhaled formed a large cloud of mist.

The Royal City in winter was a scene of a thousand miles of ice and ten thousand miles of falling snow.

The cold air enveloped the entire Royal Palace, and the snow-covered landscape was astonishing.

Although the cold wind was biting, the red walls and green tiles of the Royal Palace appeared even more striking against the snow.

East of the Royal Palace, the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.

Beneath the entire palace was an artificial underground furnace, so despite the biting cold outside, it remained as warm as spring inside.

Yang Yun lay quietly on Xiao Feng's lap, while Xiao Xiang occasionally fed him a mouthful of milk.

“Hmm…”

Yang Yun savored it, “Delicious, what kind of milk is this? It tastes good.”

Xiao Xiang smiled, and with a handkerchief she carried close to her, wiped the corners of Yang Yun’s mouth.

“Your Highness, this was tribute from the Huluan Tribe in the North to His Majesty. The Empress just sent a box over.”

“To let Your Highness also have a taste.”

Yang Yun nodded and took another large gulp.

“My Imperial Concubine is thoughtful.”

“What is the Huluan Tribe?” Yang Yun asked, looking at Xiao Xiang in confusion.

“Your Highness, the Huluan Tribe is a subordinate tribe of our Great Chu, active on the Huluan Great Grasslands in the North.”

“Oh….”

Yang Yun smiled at Xiao Xiang, pulling her delicate hand, “Xiang’er, they say women have long hair and short insight.”

“But I see you girls are all quite clever, knowing and understanding everything.”

The three girls couldn't hide their smiles. Xiao Feng stopped her work and laughed, “Your Highness, the three of us are first-class maids from the Imperial Music Bureau. Poetry, prose, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting—none of it is a challenge for us.”

“Is that so?” Yang Yun feigned surprise, looking at the three girls, “Then I wonder if you are proficient in… that aspect of things, haha.”

After speaking, he even touched Xiao Xiang’s thigh.

The three girls' faces flushed at Yang Yun’s actions. Xiao Xiang shyly replied, “I wonder… what aspect Your Highness is referring to?”

Yang Yun laughed heartily, leaping up from the couch, “You’ll find out soon enough.”

................

Three incense sticks later, Yang Yun lay on the couch with a look of enjoyment, seemingly very satisfied with himself. The three girls also looked at Yang Yun with admiration.

【Ding】

【Checked in at the Yuanshen Sect in the Eastern Xuan Realm】

【Reward: One year of lifespan】

“Holy crap!”

Yang Yun couldn't help but exclaim, looking at the one year of lifespan. The System usually only gave one month; today, the sun must have risen from the west for it to be a whole year.

The three girls looked at Yang Yun in confusion. Seeing him lying beside them, giggling foolishly, Xiao Xiang boldly leaned closer.

“Your Highness, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Hearing this, Yang Yun quickly snapped back to reality. Looking at Xiao Xiang leaning beside him, he couldn't help but pull the beauty into his arms.

“Nothing, I’m doing great.”

Seeing this, Xiao Qing and Xiao Feng also quickly leaned onto Yang Yun, “Your Highness~”

“Oh, come on, come on, everyone, come over, come over.”

Yang Yun’s smile was wide, and with open arms, he welcomed all comers.

............

Outside the hall, snow continued to fall heavily. The ground was like a white carpet, pristine and flawless, making one hesitant to step on it.

Ao Ye finished Cultivating and came to stroll in the East Palace courtyard. Seeing a palace maid looking down, searching for something, he immediately ran over.

“Hey, Yan’er, what are you looking for? Tell me, I’ll help you find it.”

The palace maid looked up slightly, “It’s Little Hei. My key is missing. If I can’t find it, I’ll have to sleep outside tonight.”

“Perfect!” Ao Ye slapped his thigh, looking at the palace maid with a sly grin, “Yan’er, how can I bear to see you sleep on the street? I sleep in a spacious king-sized room. How about…”

“No!” The palace maid flatly refused Ao Ye, “Little Hei, I didn’t think you were this kind of person. I’m going to tell Steward Li that you’re molesting me.”

“Oh, Yan’er, look at this heavy snow, how cold it is outside,” Ao Ye said earnestly.

“Besides, isn’t there a saying?”

“If we share the snow today, it counts as growing old together in this life.”

Li Yan’s face flushed slightly, and she looked at Ao Ye somewhat shyly.

“So romantic, aren’t you afraid of dying?”

Ao Ye laughed, “Hey, Yan’er, I’m not great at other things, but when it comes to which man understands women the most, I dare say I’m second to none.”

“Hmph,” Li Yan rolled her eyes at Ao Ye, “Little Hei, if you had said that to me a year ago, maybe I would have been moved. But I’m no longer a thirty-six-year-old girl; I’m thirty-seven this year.”

“So, you might as well give up.”

With that, Li Yan ignored Ao Ye and continued to search for her key, head down.

She had expected Ao Ye to turn and leave, but he continued to pester her, following closely behind Li Yan.

“Yan’er, I’m telling you, I won’t look down on you. Forget thirty-seven, even three hundred and seventy, I’d still be willing.”

Li Yan saw Ao Ye still pestering her and even uttering such Heaven-Defying words, and she instantly became furious.

“Little Heizi!”

“I’m talking to you nicely, and you really think I’m easy to talk to, don’t you?”

“Am I giving you too much leeway? Ever since you entered the palace, you’ve been pestering me. I told you I don’t like you, can’t you just leave me alone?”

Ao Ye stared blankly at Li Yan, momentarily at a loss. Before he could react, Li Yan continued to shout.

“Little Heizi, why don’t you go take a piss and look at yourself? You look like a lump of coal, with two chicken feet growing on your head, and you still want to pursue me? Who gave you the courage?”

“I…” Ao Ye was speechless for a moment.

He then turned and left. Before leaving, Ao Ye picked up a key, used his Primordial Spirit power, and silently placed it in Li Yan’s bag.

After walking a distance, he looked back at Li Yan’s figure, “Yan’er, if you miss me, do you know how much you’ll lose?”

Actually, Ao Ye just wanted to have fun; he didn't truly love Li Yan.

This was only possible in the East Palace; if he were outside, he would have simply taken her by force.

Li Yan bent down, searching for a long time, but still couldn't find it.

“Sigh, never mind. I’ll go to Eunuch Liang tomorrow to get a new one.”

Then she looked at Ao Ye’s retreating back, “Was I a bit too harsh just now? Actually, Little Hei has no flaws except for being lecherous,” Li Yan mumbled to herself.

“Never mind, I hope he finds happiness.”

“Huh?”

Li Yan felt her waist pouch and found the key she was looking for inside. “How did it get in my bag? That’s really strange.”

........

Ao Ye didn’t take Li Yan’s words to heart at all. This was nothing; three hundred years ago, the setbacks he experienced in the East Sea Dragon Palace were much greater, so he had long grown accustomed to it.

This also cultivated Ao Ye’s shameless, fearless, and unblushing spirit. As long as it didn’t involve substantial harm, he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

“Never mind, I’ll go outside and find some fun.”

With that, Ao Ye’s figure flickered, and he soared towards the direction of the brothel.

Yang Yun naturally knew Ao Ye had left, but feeling Ao Ye’s aura linger at the Myriad Flowers Pavilion, he relaxed and continued to enjoy himself with the three girls.
