Chapter 136 Bodhisattva Lowers His Eyebrows, Vajra Gazes Wrathfully (6) "Feng Tan, in..."

Chapter 136

The military tents were arrayed like stars, arranged in a well-ordered and imposing formation. The main tent stood in the center, with a banner bearing the character "Commander" hanging high above it; its red background and gold patterns fluttered in the wind, as if about to pierce the clouds. The tent entrance was draped with a black felt curtain, studded with bronze animal heads, exuding an imposing aura. On either side, guards in gleaming armor stood solemnly, halberds in hand, their eyes like those of hawks, scanning the surroundings.

The layout of the tent subtly reflects military strategy. In the center is a tiger-skin command desk, upon which rests a bronze candlestick, a sand table map, and a brush with wolf-hair and vermilion ink, seemingly awaiting a stroke of the pen to determine the course of battle. Behind the desk, a screen depicts a landscape of mountains and rivers, with the movement of troops and horses faintly visible amidst the overlapping peaks; the varying shades of ink reveal the subtlety of strategic planning. To the left and right are arrayed swords, spears, and halberds, their cold gleaming sharp, all bound with red tassels.

Zhu Qi lifted the curtain and entered. The military tent was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. He bowed to the person at the head of the table and said, "Master, the matter you entrusted to me has been completed."

Xiao Yinshi looked up from the scroll, glanced at Zhu Qi lightly, and asked, "How is she?"

Zhu Qi said, "Reporting to Master, after Feng Tan drugged me, he talked with Bai Xiangsheng in the room for a while, and then rode away. They should be arriving soon."

The candlelight cast a faint glow, and Xiao Yinshi's face was cold and stern in the dim light. His superior jawline was even more clearly defined in the lamplight. He closed the old book in his hand. "In the beginning of chaos, Yin and Yang were separated. The principles of mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements are the pivot of the creation of heaven and earth, and the root of the cycle of all things. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are not merely physical substances, but manifestations of the energy of the universe. With the laws of mutual generation and restraint, they weave an invisible net that covers the universe and governs the rise and fall, prosperity and decline, life and death of all things."

Zhu Qi may seem carefree and nonchalant on the surface, but he is actually quite perceptive; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stay by Xiao Yinshi's side for so many years. "Master, what exactly are you trying to do? Do you... want to... grant her her wish?"

But his master was never that kind of person. He would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. Feng Tan was the only one who repeatedly escaped Xiao Yinshi's grasp. He became greedy, and the stronger his greed, the stronger his obsession. Xiao Yinshi had no reason to grant Feng Tan's wish. If he were to grant her wish, it should be for his own sake.

However, Xiao Yinshi's recent actions have been strange. He has gathered the Luosha Army and stationed them on the border of Dahuang, holding back his actions. Strategists all over the world are speculating that this newly enthroned emperor is going to take the opportunity to expand his territory. But Zhu Qi knows that his master does not care about the world. He holds great power but seems to be tired of it. Only when he is with Feng Tan does he show a little bit of human warmth.

"To fulfill her wish?" Xiao Yinshi's lips curled into a sarcastic smile as he looked down at Zhu Qi with a half-smile. "I used myself as bait to lure Feng Tan into the game. It wasn't just to fulfill her wish, but also to fulfill mine."

Using himself as bait... Zhu Qi had a bad feeling. What was his master planning to do?

Zhu Qi suddenly knelt on one knee, his expression changing slightly, and said, "Master, there are too many ways to discipline a woman who is not obedient. To risk your life for her is... utterly foolish!"

This was the first time he had spoken disrespectfully to Xiao Yinshi. After saying these words with trepidation, he lowered his head and awaited Xiao Yinshi's judgment.

“Foolish…” Xiao Yinshi pursed his lips, his expression unchanged. “She is naturally unruly and unteachable, and she possesses a dazzling aura that cannot be contained by prison.”

Zhu Qi crawled two steps closer to Xiao Yinshi, who was seated above. "That's because Master wasn't ruthless enough. Master could cripple her lightness skill once, and he could cripple her a second time. She showed no mercy when she severed Master's tendons!"

Xiao Yinshi was ruthless in every way. He showed no mercy to Feng Tan, cutting off all her escape routes, crippling her lightness skill, raping her, and imprisoning her. This was no different from breaking the wings of a bird that yearns for freedom the most.

That's why Feng Tan's counterattack came so fiercely and intensely.

Xiao Yinshi stood up from his desk, the dragon totem on his back extending its sharp claws. "She can't escape, and neither can I. Even if I'm an outsider, I'm doomed. So let's change the game. This time, I'll be in her trap."

He also wanted to be an Arslan.

As for how he got the position and how underhanded the methods were, Xiao Yinshi didn't care.

After capturing Feng Tan, instead of taking her back to Huachao, he mobilized 200,000 troops to the border of Dahuang, and set a trap for the King of Chu with sniper rifles in the brothel of pleasure... A flash of inspiration struck Zhu Qi, and he suddenly looked up at Xiao Yinshi and said, "Master, you are going to... Absolutely not!"

Zhu Qi slammed his head against the ground with a loud thud. "Master, absolutely not! Absolutely not! His Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy, admired by all the court officials. Now that his tendons and veins are severed, he must not risk his life alone!"

Xiao Yinshi remained unmoved, saying, "My mind is made up."

The wind blew up the royal tent, revealing a verdant landscape outside. The boots of soldiers patrolling the camp were vaguely visible. A closer look revealed a group of elite soldiers carrying a slender figure as they strode towards them.

They approached Sun Cheng, and the soldier in charge saluted and said, "This lad has trespassed into the military camp, claiming he has important military intelligence to deliver to His Majesty. We are unsure what to do, so we have specially invited Lord Sun to take a look."

Sun Cheng looked at this "uninvited guest" and sighed, "Let her in."

Feng Tan was pushed into the royal tent with her hands and feet bound. Just then, Zhu Qi walked out from inside. After the two looked at each other for a moment, Feng Tan raised an eyebrow. Why was he glaring at her so fiercely?

Also, shouldn't he be unconscious right now? He woke up so quickly.

Xiao Yinshi walked down to Feng Tan from the head of the table. The candlelight in the tent illuminated his face, which already had a murderous aura, making his features even more sharp. His thick eyebrows and high nose bridge made his dark eyes appear even more profound.

Xiao Yinshi stopped in front of Feng Tan, looking at her indifferent face despite being bound by hemp rope. He spoke in a cold voice, with his usual mockery, "Chen Shiyi gave you a chance but you didn't escape. Bai Xiangsheng told you how to leave the high-rise but you didn't take the path. Instead, you stubbornly returned to me. What, are you so sure I would let you kill me?"

He knows everything, he knows everything.

What exactly is Xiao Yinshi plotting?

“Of course you won’t,” Feng Tan raised her eyes, unmoved by Xiao Yinshi’s voice. Though bound by ropes, her steely resolve remained undiminished. “Xiao Yinshi, would you kill me?”

Xiao Yinshi lowered his head and approached Feng Tan. The person in front of him seemed no different from when they first met, but many things were different. From a dashing young official to a reserved and shrewd hunter, she had grown up very quickly.

The man's eyes were still full of aggression, mixed with a secret admiration. His fingers uncontrollably touched Feng Tan's cheek. "Why wouldn't you? You know how much I want to kill you."

Perhaps it was because Xiao Yinshi always had the ability to turn the ambiguous atmosphere into lust when facing Feng Tan. The fingers covering Feng Tan's cheek suddenly grabbed her neck, choking her and making her raise her head sharply. He then lowered his head and leaned closer, saying, "Every time, I want to kill you."

The aggression was too strong. Feng Tan turned her head to avoid his burning gaze, her voice turning cold as she said, "Since I dared to come to you, I have enough leverage to ensure my safety. Can we talk in a normal way?"

This was another insult calling him a scoundrel. A darker glint flashed in Xiao Yinshi's dark eyes. He loosened his grip on Feng Tan's neck, a cool smile playing on his lips. "Feng Tan, what kind of bargaining chips do you have?"

The restraint in Feng Tan's throat disappeared, and she twisted her neck uncomfortably, saying, "You sent people to interrogate Bai Xiangsheng because of the Chu King's army deployment map in her possession, and now the deployment map is in my hands."

Feng Tan deduced Xiao Yinshi's purpose from the clues. Since he had gathered a large army here, he must be taking advantage of the internal strife in Dahuang to gain a share of the spoils. The only thing Feng Tan couldn't understand was that if he wanted to expand his territory, the best way would have been to sit back and watch the tigers fight, but he didn't choose that. Instead, he turned his fire on Feng Tingxiao.

Xiao Yinshi's indifferent voice rang out, "What do you want?"

Feng Tan said, "After defeating the King of Chu, the legitimate army of Dahuang will inevitably attack your army. I want your army to refrain from encroaching on Dahuang's territory and from harming Dahuang's people."

Xiao Yinshi's eyes were deep and calm. He looked at Feng Tan for a long while, then said with a playful tone, "You're asking for too much. Since the Luosha Army has invaded Dahuang, how can they retreat without a fight?"

Feng Tan said, "So there's nothing to discuss again?"

“Yes,” something deep in Xiao Yinshi’s eyes surfaced, and the shadow of his tall figure slowly enveloped Feng Tan completely as he said in a low, deliberate voice, “Let’s have a few good ones.”

The candlelight flickered and then distant cannon fire roared. The Rakshasa Army had already set out. Feng Tan looked at him in disbelief.

She took a step back, her body completely disappearing into the shadow cast by Xiao Yinshi. After a few moments of silence, she stammered, "You men, no matter what, only think about... low-class things?"

Suppressing her surging emotions, she looked at Xiao Yinshi's indifferent face and couldn't understand how he could say such a thing with such a stern expression.

Xiao Yinshi's eyelashes were lowered, and his whole body exuded a coldness like a thin blade. "Rape is a sexual behavior that is mainly about suppression. I enjoyed it during the process and also gave you a lot of sexual pleasure. But I want to try to see if it would be more enjoyable if you took the initiative in the sexual behavior."

Feng Tan's face flushed red and then turned pale. He meant that violent sex was pleasurable for both parties, but what he wanted was far from enough. He wanted her to take the initiative and have sex with him several times. At this moment, what he wanted was the pleasure of those few ounces of flesh.

As long as you're willing to lose face, you can get what you want... but Feng Tan simply can't bring herself to lose face.

Seeing her troubled expression, Xiao Yinshi turned and walked back to his high seat. Despite the incredibly shameless request, Xiao Yinshi seemed to have no sense of shame whatsoever, letting the woman be tied up and left to hang in the center of the tent, a faint cold light flashing in his eyes, as he quietly waited for her to make a decision.

Feng Tan was lured by Xiao Yinshi. A conflicted look flashed across her fair and delicate face, but she gradually calmed down. Although her upper body was bound, her legs and feet could move freely.

Feng Tan stepped onto the high seat and stood in front of Xiao Yinshi. Her upper body, which was still bound, bent slightly, and her eyes were filled with a sense of conquest. She looked down at Xiao Yinshi's handsome face and spoke in a cold voice, with a sense of conquest permeating her large and clear eyes, "I will take the initiative."

Ultimately, it's a cheap deal. She doesn't care about her virginity anyway. She'll just take the initiative and treat this man like a male prostitute in a brothel.

She suddenly became affectionate, but Xiao Yinshi's cold gaze fell on Feng Tan's face like a knife. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, untying the ropes binding her.

The hemp rope came loose, and Feng Tan stretched her wrists and arms, which were sore from being tied up, and turned her head to look to the side.

A white porcelain teacup sits quietly on the table, the tea leaves inside resembling a slowly unfolding landscape painting, serene yet vibrant. The Longjing tea leaves, like newly sprouted willow leaves in early spring, are slender and flat, with a vibrant green color and finely serrated edges—clearly a top-quality product.

Having frequented brothels many times, Feng Tan knew quite a bit about how to flirt with men, but she had never actually done it herself. She picked up the half-finished tea leaves that Xiao Yinshi had drunk, tilted her head back and put them in her mouth, then hooked her fingers around his shoulder and lowered her head to pour the tea into his mouth.

The ambiguity continued from there. Tea was passed over, but their lips never parted. When Feng Tan kissed Xiao Yin with her eyes closed, she could clearly feel the change in his buttocks.

She shifted uncomfortably in his arms, only to be held captive by the man's strong arms. Their lips, which had been engaged, became passive as Xiao Yinshi invaded her mouth, relentlessly conquering and attacking her lips.

Still unable to adapt to such a domineering kiss, Feng Tan's breathing gradually became difficult. Just as she could no longer bear it, Xiao Yinshi pulled away from her mouth, looked up at Feng Tan's heavy breathing, frowned, and commented, "Still not very useful."

Anger surged in her chest, and Feng Tan's eyes held a sharp edge, as if she wanted to pierce through Xiao Yinshi. Then she heard him say, "Continue."

The two stared at each other silently.

Feng Tan thought it was simple, but when she actually did it, she realized how difficult it was.

Xiao Yinshi narrowed his eyes and said, "If that's all you've got, our deal won't go through."

Feng Tan's expression was gentle and calm, but her words carried a sharp edge as she spoke to Xiao Yinshi: "My abilities depend on who I'm facing."

In other words, she could do anything if it were Arslan.

Xiao Yinshi naturally thought of this, his unfathomable eyes swirling with emotion as he stared at Feng Tan for a long time before saying, "Feng Tan, you have guts to provoke me at a time like this."

Feng Tan loosened Xiao Yinshi's belt and said, "You flatter me."
