Chapter 70 Don't Look at Them

Learn how to please and win your favor.

As soon as he finished speaking, the outside room fell silent.

Shen You was taken aback by his unexpected answer.

In an instant, a thin blush spread across the tips of her ears.

What kind of place is Xianleju?

Elephant Maiden's Pavilion.

It's a place where men sell their bodies.

What legitimate skills could he possibly learn from the young master of the Elephant Maiden Pavilion?

Shen You didn't know how much of his words were true or false, but any woman would find it hard to remain calm after hearing such words.

She coughed lightly, turned her gaze slightly, and avoided looking at him again.

From behind the beaded curtain came Ye Mingyu's annoyed voice. Realizing she shouldn't stay there any longer, she stood up and said, "Let's go back."

After saying that, she opened the door.

However, before he could take a step, his wrist was gripped by a strong force.

Chu Xiao followed closely behind her and whispered, "Your veil."

Shen You realized what was happening and instinctively raised her hand to cover her face, but a large hand beat her to it.

He shielded her with one hand and placed the veil on her head with the other.

The veil hung down, completely obscuring the girl's facial features.

Chu Xiao took her hand and led her out of the upper room.

But before she even came down the stairs, the proprietress of Xianleju had already come over.

With a perfectly timed smile, she reminded her, "Young lady, shouldn't you settle your bill?"

After all, we were seated in a private room and had even ordered four handsome young men. Although we hadn't even gotten close to them, we still had to pay.

They, Xianleju, don't do business at a loss.

Shen You paused slightly, and before she could take out her money, the man beside her had already tossed a small gold coin into the proprietress's hand.

The proprietress's eyes lit up instantly. "Thank you so much, esteemed guest!"

The next moment, Chu Xiao's voice rang out in a chilling and sinister tone, "Today, Xianleju will pretend that these two young ladies never came."

"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

The proprietress was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood, and smiled obsequiously, "I understand, I understand! I absolutely won't reveal a single word."

Chu Xiao was somewhat satisfied then, and asked in a cold voice, "Is there any other way out of Xianle Residence?"

"Yes! Of course!" The proprietress, having received the small gold coin, practically worshipped the two men as gods of wealth. She quickly led them to a hidden wooden door at the corner of the third floor. "Distinguished guests, this is the back alley of Xianleju. There's no one around at this hour, so please rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao didn't say anything more and led Shen You down the stairs.

Xianleju back alley—

It was late at night, and the place was indeed sparsely populated; even the candlelight was dim.

As the cold winter wind blew, the two lanterns hanging by the door swayed slightly, causing the two figures, one tall and one short, on the ground to sway along with them.

Chu Xiao didn't say a word, but simply took her hand and led her out of the back alley, directly into the carriage parked at the alley entrance.

Even after they were seated in the warm car, he still didn't let go of her.

Shen You lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the two people's tightly clasped hands.

The man's hands were large, one hand enough to cover both of hers. On the back of his tanned hands were slightly protruding blue veins, which would become more prominent with the slightest pressure.

He possesses the rugged charm and charisma that only a mature man can have.

For some reason, Shen You suddenly remembered the young master's hand playing the zither in the upper room of Xianle Residence.

It was very thin and frail, looking pale and weak.

She blinked, suddenly realizing that someone like Chu Xiao was more to her liking.

The girl hadn't uttered a word since then, her lips pursed and eyes lowered, a gesture she often made.

Chu Xiao's eyes darkened, assuming she was unhappy because he had interrupted her amusement.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he took her hand and stroked it against his cheek, whispering, "Chen You, I can learn anything you like."

"Don't look at them, look at me more, okay?"

His voice was extremely low, a humble plea.

When Shen You met his gaze, she realized that, without her noticing, the man's dark, narrow eyes had become as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.

It's as if one glance at him would draw you into his intense emotions.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said softly, "It's different."

How could he compare himself to the young master in this elephant brothel?

But before she could finish speaking and was about to say something more, her chin was lifted up.

Immediately afterwards, a hot kiss landed on her.

Gently, yet with an undeniable force, he pried open her teeth and plunged in, sweeping through her lips inch by inch.

He took her lips and tongue into his mouth, licking and teasing them.

The wheels rolled along, heading towards the Duke's Mansion. Turning into Changning Ward, the number of people on the streets decreased.

The outside world suddenly became quiet, making the kissing sounds inside the car all the more noticeable.

The intimate sound of water could be faintly heard, and hot breaths were exchanged.

The girl's already rosy lips became even more alluring, moist and fragrant with the faint scent of osmanthus, spreading passionately in this small space.

Shen You's eyes were glazed over from his kisses, and she could hardly breathe. When she noticed that his hand, which had been on her waist, was gradually becoming more and more unrestrained, she managed to gather her thoughts and hold it down.

A very soft hum escaped from their intertwined lips, "...This is...outside..."

“Yes,” Chu Xiao’s voice was hoarse, “I know.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage stopped.

Mu Geng's voice came from outside, "My lord, we have arrived."

Before Shen You could react, someone pulled down the hood of his cloak, completely covering his face.

Immediately afterwards, she was picked up horizontally and carried in someone's arms.

"Chu Xiao!"

She lowered her voice and cried out softly, startled by his sudden action.

But Chu Xiao didn't answer. He carried her off the carriage and straight into the Duke's mansion.

It wasn't until she peeked through the gap in the brim of his hat that Shen You realized he hadn't taken her back to the Marquis of Chengde's residence, but instead to the Duke of Zhenguo's residence.

The servants inside and outside the gate all knelt down to pay their respects. When Uncle Chen saw his master returning with a girl in his arms, he immediately realized what was going on and sternly warned the people on duty not to reveal this matter.

In the Shenfeng Courtyard—

Chu Xiao carried the person straight into the main room and slammed the door shut with his foot.

Shen You trembled in his arms, then felt his arms tighten around her.

The chill of the night outside gradually faded, and a warm feeling enveloped her. The change in temperature told her that she had entered the room. Just as she was about to take off her cloak and hat, she sank directly into the soft bedding.

“Chu…”

Before the word "Xiao" could be uttered, the man's kiss landed again.

This time, the kiss was unrestrained, deep and entwined, with a force that seemed to want to devour her whole.

As he kissed her, he said in a low, hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I scared you..."

He was apologizing for closing the door earlier, but the force of his kiss left her almost no time to think.

The man was breathing heavily, his kisses deep and heavy. He kissed her little by little down the girl's light blue collar, his high nose bridge brushing against her skin. Her soft, white skin was all in his mouth.

Shen You couldn't resist, biting her lip and letting out a sound. Tears quickly welled up in her eyes, and her face turned red as she grabbed the fabric of his clothes on his shoulder, her fingertips turning white from the force.

"...Chu Xiao..."

His kiss returned to her lips, hot and warm, as he softly replied, "I'm here."

"Chu Xiao is here."

The girl's clothes were in a terrible state, and her large hands, which were used to holding knives and guns for many years, slowly crept in along the loose hem of her clothes.

When the rough callus touched that tender skin, both of them trembled.

Shen You barely managed to hold onto the last shred of consciousness, "I have to go back..."

She said she "had to" go back, not that she "wanted" to go back.

The fabric of her dress was slightly lifted by that mischievous large hand, and the tie at her waist was hooked, causing her slightly damp undergarment to suddenly come loose.

Her delicate, snow-white breasts trembled slightly as they pressed against his tall, heavy body that pressed down upon her.

A subtle fragrance filled the bedside room.

His voice was hoarse and brimming with anger, filled with extreme grievance and longing, "Chen You."

"Please have pity on me, okay?"

Shen You's heart was pounding so hard that she had no time to pay attention to the clothes that were being pulled off her fair arms.

Her acquiescence fueled his growing excitement, and the force of his kisses and tongues intensified.

Shoulders, collarbone, down...

He lingered for a long time in each place.

The man was like a hot stove in this long winter night, his body so hot that it seemed to melt her.

The room was heated by underfloor heating, and the window was slightly ajar for ventilation.

However, the night breeze seeping in through the cracks did nothing to dispel the damp, sticky heat inside.

The girl's slender waist was firmly pinched and kneaded, easily leaving red marks.

Shen You was trembling all over, especially his legs.

"...Chu Xiao..."

She called out to him helplessly, her voice losing its usual cool and elegant tone and becoming charming.

They tried to get him up, but his flailing hands were forcefully pulled down and pinned to the bedding.

Her fair and delicate wrists and slender waist left creases on the brocade quilt.

The tears that had been hanging on the girl's eyelashes finally fell, wetting the pink rim around her eyes and slipping into her hair.

Sweet juice dripped down, leaving a trail of traces.

Shen You felt her mind was completely enveloped by the ultimate pleasure, and like a floating duckweed, she barely managed to stretch out two delicate fingers and tightly grasp his wide sleeve.

The room was brightly lit, illuminating everything clearly.

The man's hot breath finally approached her lips, kissing her again and again, his tall, taut body enveloping her.

"Chen You, are you comfortable?"

If you're comfortable, could you please not look at other people?

Shen You was completely speechless; the messy bedding on the bed was a testament to what had just happened.

She looked like a fish pulled from the water, drenched in sweat, completely exhausted, her body still trembling.

He pursed the tears that fell from the corners of his eyes into his lips. Chu Xiao's breathing was frighteningly heavy, but he didn't continue.

He just kept kissing her, as if trying to ease some impending urge through intimate kissing.

The light and shadow in Shen You's eyes were all blurry, and red plum blossoms adorned the area below his shoulders.

Like a beautiful flower blooming in the snow.

She moved her fingers, her voice hoarse, "Chu Xiao, I'm so tired..."

He leaned in and pulled her into his arms, his warm breath brushing against her neck as he affectionately nuzzled her cheek. "If you're tired, go to sleep first. I'll take you back to the Marquis's residence later."

Shen You knew he would keep his word, and finally, unable to resist the drowsiness that followed his restlessness, he slowly closed his eyes.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I vaguely heard him speak.

"Shen You, today is just a trial."

"If you want, I have many other ways to please you."
