Pink dance silks fluttered at her hem, her every sway and turn, coupled with that seductive expression, stirred the most primal fire deep within Ye Jingyu's core…
Ye Jingyu had never imagined a woman could possess such potent allure. Neither the scantily clad Jiu Feng nor the cold, exquisite Hu Yanmeng had shocked him this profoundly. The moment he saw her, Ye Jingyu nearly lost all semblance of reason…
Almost instinctively, Ye Jingyu yearned to stand, to walk towards the woman, to personally lift the veil from her face, to lightly trace the smoothness of her skin, and even more so, to press her down beneath him and thoroughly ravage her form…
Especially upon seeing her faint blue eyes, Ye Jingyu felt his very soul lift free from his body, floating right to where she stood…
Those were eyes that admitted no argument, eyes of absolute, breathtaking beauty, as if a single glance could compel all creation to submit…
In Ye Jingyu’s heart, only the rawest desire remained—the desire to conquer this goddess whom the world itself adored…
Just as Ye Jingyu was about to completely surrender his senses, a pair of shimmering, wide eyes flashed across his mind. They were eyes so clear, so utterly unblemished, so innocent and pure, as if all the filth of the world had been washed clean…
In the briefest blink, the wicked heat within him vanished without a trace, the raging fire in his gaze instantly extinguished. His mind held only Luo Ling'er’s incredibly sweet face and those eyes untouched by a single speck of impurity…
Everything else was merely smoke passing before his eyes…
Seeing Ye Jingyu regain his clarity in such a short span, a flicker of surprise clearly crossed the alluring woman’s eyes, though she betrayed no change on her face…
“This humble one, Yao Yao, greets the Great General Who Guards the Nation…” Yao Yao performed a respectful curtsy to Ye Jingyu…
“There is a woman named Yao Yao, whose single smile can topple cities, whose second smile can ruin nations. To see you today confirms the rumors are true. Might I ask Miss Yao Yao to honor this general by allowing me a glimpse of that peerless countenance whispered about across the land?” Ye Jingyu smiled lightly, though a cold sweat beaded on his back. He had nearly fallen prey to Yao Yao’s enchantment; had he not recalled Luo Ling'er’s image at the last second, he might have been utterly lost in the fantasy Yao Yao had spun…
This woman is a true siren. The Third Young Master said she belongs to the First Young Master, and she commands vast influence behind her. Why has she come seeking me today?
Ye Jingyu thought silently, yet he reigned in his spirit, refusing to be swayed by Yao Yao’s mesmerizing power…
“Since the Great General has asked, how dare this humble woman refuse?” Yao Yao countered with a seductive smile, sweeping her hand, and the veil upon her head drifted down in the breeze, revealing a face so beautiful it invited celestial jealousy…
Her lips were flushed pink, her nose finely sculpted, and those pale blue eyes, even more enchanting than a fox’s, were utterly captivating in every aspect…
Objectively speaking, Yao Yao’s beauty was world-shattering. Even Hu Yanmeng and Jiu Feng combined wouldn't amount to a third of her splendor. Yet, Ye Jingyu’s heart held little room for such admiration now. This wasn't to say he was a paragon of virtue—no man could look upon a woman like Yao Yao and remain unmoved. However, one must assess whether they have the strength to handle such a presence. Most importantly, the image of those profoundly innocent eyes kept surfacing in Ye Jingyu’s mind, those eyes that had captured his entire heart…
It was precisely the light from those pure eyes that illuminated his heart, preventing him from drowning in this world of gilded temptations…
“Heh, I truly never realized such beauty existed in this world. Guards, prepare a seat for Miss Yao Yao…” Ye Jingyu gave a faint smile, though his inner heart remained utterly still, as if the peerless beauty before him were merely an exquisite ornament…
“Thank you, Great General, for the seat…” Seeing Ye Jingyu remain completely unperturbed by her charms, showing no sign of stirring desire, Yao Yao felt a deep shock within her…
Rumor claimed this man was quite lecherous; his entourage of maids and bodyguards were all top-tier beauties. So why did he show no sign of being moved now? Could it be that the women beside him were simply too beautiful?
For the first time, Yao Yao felt a doubt creep into her confidence regarding her own beauty…
“May I ask the purpose of Miss Yao Yao’s visit?” After Yao Yao was seated, Ye Jingyu inquired. He certainly didn’t assume she had come merely because he was handsome…
Yao Yao did not answer immediately, her captivating eyes sweeping toward the few serving maids nearby…
“You all may retire…” This was the General’s Residence, and Ye Jingyu harbored no fear that Yao Yao could harm him. Even though his injuries had not fully healed, his own hidden guards were everywhere; should Yao Yao make any hostile move, she would be struck down instantly…
“Yes…” The maids bowed respectfully to Ye Jingyu and quietly withdrew one by one…
“Very well, Miss Yao Yao, now that we are alone, shall we begin our ‘Unveiled Assembly’?” A roguish smile spread across Ye Jingyu’s face, his eyes flashing with mischievous intent…
“Heh heh, if the General is interested, this humble one will certainly accompany him to the very end…” Yao Yao was not offended by Ye Jingyu’s teasing; instead, she responded with a sultry smile…
“Hahahaha… How could this humble self possibly handle a figure like Miss Yao Yao? It would be best to tell me directly why you have come this time…” Hearing Yao Yao agree so readily, Ye Jingyu knew gaining ground through verbal sparring was impossible. He dispensed with the pleasantries and spoke plainly…
“This time, I was actually entrusted by the First Young Master to probe the General’s secrets…” Yao Yao dropped the joking manner, her expression sobering as she spoke quite directly…
“Oh?” Ye Jingyu blinked, surprised by her bluntness, his eyes filled with confusion. What exactly was this woman planning?
