"Can I take a look, Sister Dou'er?" Yang Dou asked.
"Really, are you giving me spirit stones?"
In recent days, she had been cultivating in the palace's back garden. Her energy pouch contained quite a bit of spiritual power. But if she could have spirit stones, that would be even better.
"Sister Dou'er, who are we kidding? We can't fool each other, right?" Chen Anlin smiled slightly.
"Alright, then I’ll definitely tempt you," Yang Dou said, glancing around before waving him over. "Come to my place."
Sister Dou'er's bedroom!!!
Chen Anlin's heart raced. Sister Dou'er was becoming bolder, bringing him to her private quarters. He remembered visiting Yang Dou's place when they were younger, but after growing up, he hadn't gone back.
He was genuinely looking forward to it.
After a moment, they arrived at the familiar location. However, the entrance to Yang Dou's residence was now adorned with artificial hills and flowing water. As the top aide of the Empress, her residence was very close to the Empress's quarters. The environment here was tranquil and undisturbed.
Since the Empress took power, she had reformed the inner palace. The number of eunuchs and palace maids had significantly decreased, making the deep palace increasingly quiet. On his way here, Chen Anlin hadn’t encountered a single person.
Once inside, Yang Dou looked at Chen Anlin with a glimmer in her eyes that hinted at something more.
"Sister Dou'er, what are you planning to do?" Chen Anlin swallowed hard.
Yang Dou was truly bold for tempting him like this!
"Just watch."
In the next moment, it seemed she had made up her mind as she removed her outer garment, revealing an alluring little belly wrap.
Chen Anlin thought to himself:
"Alright, alright, so this is how you want to play it? Who can keep up with this?"
"I concede."
Chen Anlin was quite straightforward.
Did he just give up like that? Yang Dou felt a surge of amusement, thinking he could endure more.
"Sister Dou, can you let me take a look?" Suddenly, Chen Anlin said shyly.
"What are you talking about? Seriously, if you keep babbling nonsense, I might get angry!" Yang Dou lowered her head, claiming it was impossible, but her tone had an undertone that could easily be misinterpreted.
Chen Anlin scratched his head, feeling amused. The key was that when Yang Dou spoke, she had forgotten to put on her clothes, creating an almost theatrical atmosphere. Her figure was exquisite, and her pitiful demeanor stirred something deep within him.
"Sister Dou, just for a moment! I just want to take a quick look! It’s not like there’s anyone outside, right?" Chen Anlin whispered.
Since Yang Dou didn’t seem to oppose the idea, he took the opportunity to press on.
"Well... okay then." Yang Dou bit her lip and nodded, deciding to agree.
Chen Anlin thought to himself: Goodness, she really agreed.
A moment later, Chen Anlin emerged feeling refreshed.
An hour later, he sat in a carriage heading back to Wanjian Villa. As night fell, he instinctively sniffed his fingertips.
The scent of Sister Dou lingered.
Earlier, she had truly satisfied him by allowing him to see two parts of her. Although she quickly put on her clothes afterward, he had asked to help her dress.
Thus, the unintentional touches left a lingering fragrance on his fingertips even now.
Two days later, in the evening, the fog hung thick in the air.
In recent days, the weather had not been favorable during his trips to Wanjian Villa. It had rained yesterday, leaving the ground slick and muddy.
Now, the carriage had gotten stuck in a quagmire.
With no other choice, he had to get out of the carriage and push it.
Splash, splash.
At that moment, the sky opened up, pouring down heavy rain. Countless raindrops hit his face, causing the horses to feel restless and uneasy. Chen Anlin pushed against the horses, finally managing to pull the carriage out of the mud when suddenly, Yuxianzi whispered, "There's something going on."
In truth, even without Yuxianzi's warning, Chen Anlin had already sensed a murderous intent behind him. With his level of cultivation, he was able to keenly detect danger in perilous situations.
However, he did not move; he was waiting for the enemy to strike.
Bang!!
A flash of sword light aimed for his sword arm.
Chen Anlin let out a soft grunt but remained still, merely turning his head to look. In the next moment, the shield jade on his body activated defensively, blocking the attack.
The assailant was a swordsman clad in black; judging by his build, he was clearly a young man. The key point was that this young man possessed considerable fortune—he actually had a layer of luck!
Chen Anlin chuckled; he had unexpectedly encountered a child of destiny sent to deal with him.
Hmm??
Seeing his attack thwarted by a strange barrier, the black-clad man momentarily froze. Once he regained his senses, he decisively withdrew.
Chen Anlin drew forth a yellow gleam. Previously entrusted to the Empress for refinement, it now contained spirit crystal iron ore; this sword was truly a treasure of heavenly rank.
Whoosh!
The sword light flashed as it pointed directly at the opponent's legs. He had no intention of killing him outright; he needed to know who had sent this assassin after him.
