"My sister is completely under that guy's thumb. She has to come see him first thing in the morning," the boy complained. He couldn't understand why his usually aloof sister would act this way towards a man.

This pair of siblings are naturally Chu Chuyan and Chu Youzhao, no, they should be called sisters.

"You didn't get the address wrong, did you? Why hasn't it arrived yet?" Chu Chuyan asked, somewhat displeased.

Seeing her sister's resentful, petty demeanor, Chu Youzhao felt extremely uncomfortable: "I've already sent people to investigate. His current baron's mansion was formerly Lord Ding's residence; it should be over there."

Chu Chuyan hummed in agreement, her pace quickening unconsciously. Chu Youzhao pouted, but eventually jogged after her.

Finally arriving at a courtyard, Chu Chuyan looked at the large characters "Phoenix Baron's Mansion" on the plaque above the gate and was momentarily dazed. Back in Mingyue City, everyone said he was just a live-in son-in-law relying on the Chu family, but now he had become a baron.

Although the title of baron is the lowest in the peerage system, it is a threshold. Now he can be considered a proper nobleman and enjoy many benefits and social statuses that commoners cannot enjoy.

I wonder how my father and mother will react when they find out he has become a baron.

Chu Chuyan's lips curled up slightly, as if she had thought of something interesting.

Chu Youzhao, who had been observing her closely, couldn't help but purse her lips. Was a mere baron really that happy?

At this moment, Chu Chuyan changed her anxious state from when she arrived. She stood still at the door, straightened her clothes and hair, and resumed her usual aloof and icy beauty: "Go knock on the door."

Chu Youzhao rolled her eyes. She was so eager just now, but now she's acting all ladylike. You care about saving face, but I don't?

However, remembering the fear of being dominated by her older sister when she was a child, she still pouted and ran to knock on the door: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you there? My sister and I have come to see you. Hmm, this door doesn't seem to be closed."

Upon hearing her voice from afar, a couple playing a game inside the house instantly scattered in panic.

Zuan sat up straight instantly. The sudden stimulation made him unable to hold back any longer. His meridians throbbed, and he felt like a volcano erupting.

Qiu Honglei, who had been teasing him with a charming smile, was caught off guard and completely dumbfounded.

Zuan was also dumbfounded. Bright Moon City was a bustling metropolis with a large number of wealthy merchants. The people there were used to grand occasions. Even so, Qiu Honglei had been so infatuated with her during her year-long stay at the Immortal Abode that other famous courtesans paled in comparison.

Although Qiu Honglei exudes femininity in every gesture and flirtatiously moves about, she is never seen to be truly intimate with anyone. This makes people feel that she has a special kind of purity about her.

The perfect combination of the two styles is what made so many high-ranking officials and nobles in Mingyue City flock to her, and some even thought she was a fairy descended from heaven.

Her already alluring and beautiful face has a fatal attraction for men, and now with these embellishments, the scene is truly visually striking. She is not just a fairy descended to earth, but a fairy who has completely fallen into the mortal world.

He instinctively pulled out a handkerchief and gave it to her: "Here, wipe your hands."

Qiu Honglei took the handkerchief and wiped her cheeks with a resentful look. She didn't understand why she had been so bewitched to help him with this. Logically speaking, although she had a good impression of him, things shouldn't have developed so quickly.

Could it be that he saved her from the brink of death yesterday, and then risked having her family wiped out to help save her master, and she wanted to repay him out of gratitude?

That's not right. If it were any other man, he might at most say that he would repay her kindness in his next life, but he would never fulfill that promise in this life.

It's all because that guy is too shameless. I was just making a joke casually. After all, I've been in a place like Shenxianju for over a year, and I've become quite casual about jokes because of what I've seen and heard. Who knew that he would actually take it seriously?

She didn't know why, but she was bewitched and let the other person lead her hand. At first, she was a little shy, but gradually she also fell in love and only thought about how to please her beloved...

The room had been filled with an ambiguous pink atmosphere, so she hadn't thought much of it. But now that she had been suddenly awakened by an outsider, she was so ashamed that she wished she could disappear into the ground. It wasn't that she regretted it, but she was mainly worried about leaving the other person with a contemptuous impression.

"What do we do now?" Qiu Honglei asked with some resentment. No matter how she wiped it, she couldn't get it clean.

"Let's hide inside first," Zu'an hurriedly pointed to the screen in the inner room.

Qiu Honglei really didn't want to appear in front of outsiders in this state, so she hummed in agreement and went back inside.

Zu An hurriedly straightened his clothes and went out to greet him.

"Oh, so you're here. Why didn't you come out to see us for so long?" Upon seeing him, Chu Youzhao was immediately displeased. She hadn't seen anyone along the way and thought she had come to the wrong place. Her older sister would strangle her if she did.

"Haha, I was just thinking about something and got a little lost in thought," Zu An said guiltily, then looked at Chu Chuyan beside him, "Chuyan, you're here too."

"Yes, I came to see your new place. I haven't been here before." Chu Chuyan smiled slightly, then suddenly looked at his cheek. "Hey, why is your face so red?"

"Maybe it's too hot, haha." Zuan casually fanned himself to brush it off.

"Is it hot today?" Chu Youzhao asked with a puzzled look.

Zuan ignored her, thinking it best not to let them into the house, lest they discover Qiu Honglei later.

But how can you stop them? If they come to your house and you don't invite them in to sit down, something's definitely fishy going on.
