After a night of snow, the wind and snow have stopped, and vendors from all over the city have come out to set up their stalls. Everyone has started a busy new day, and a layer of moisture has gradually filled the streets of Cloud City.
Zuan sent a soldier to retrieve the horses he had previously stored at the inn outside the city, while he himself walked to the Jade Mansion.
Although much of the snow on the ground has melted, it is clearly not suitable for horseback riding now.
He soon arrived at the Yu residence. Having learned from his previous experience, the guards at the entrance of the Yu residence did not stop him this time.
Upon entering, a beautiful maid quickly greeted him: "Is this Young Master Zu? I am here to greet you on the orders of Madam. Madam is currently dressing up, so please wait a moment."
"It's alright, I did arrive a bit too early," Zu An returned the greeting, quickly sizing up the other woman. She was beautiful, with a full figure, and slightly older than the average maid, exuding a mature aura. "Are you Madam Yu's personal maid?"
“Young master, there’s no need to be so polite. Just call me Xingnu.” The maid smiled and said, “I do indeed serve the madam.”
"Why didn't I see you last time I came?" With nothing else to do, Zu'an started chatting casually, thinking it was always good to find out more relevant information.
“Last time, Madam sent me to do some errands, so I didn’t get to see the young master,” Xingnu replied.
"I see." Zu An wasn't so presumptuous as to ask what she was doing, but he secretly wondered why he hadn't seen her outside Mingyue City or in the capital. It seemed that her duties were different from those of ordinary maids.
The two walked towards the inner hall, along which many young maids hid to the side, ostensibly doing chores, but their eyes would occasionally peek in their direction.
"Look, look! This is the person the lady wants to see."
"It's been so long since Madam has seen a man from outside the family, yet she's made an exception and seen him repeatedly."
"He is indeed handsome; no wonder the madam let him in."
"Pah, who is Madam? How could she be as infatuated as you?"
"That's right. So do you think Madam will arrange for a maid to serve her in bed later?"
Do you want to go?
"If it's this young master, then it's not impossible."
...
With Zu An's current cultivation level, even though these maids spoke softly, how could they escape his ears?
Hearing these whispers, he couldn't help but cry out in disbelief. It seemed that the Jade Mansion was far too yin-dominant, with even the maids showing signs of spring fever.
At this moment, Xingnu, who was leading the way, blushed slightly on her neck. She then secretly glared at the talkative maids, which scared them into immediately shutting their mouths and pretending to concentrate on their work.
Zuan narrowed his eyes slightly. He could hear such a soft sound; this Star Slave's cultivation level was not low.
After a while, the two arrived at a courtyard. Xingnu stood at the door and bowed slightly to the inside: "Madam, Young Master Zu has arrived."
"Let him in."
Yu Yanluo's unique voice rang out, soft and melodious, and her voice alone could evoke all sorts of fantasies.
"Please come in, young master. If you need anything, just call out to the outside." Xingnu placed his hand on his waist, curtsied, and then slowly withdrew.
Zuan pushed open the door and went in, a familiar warmth greeted him.
"Are you feeling hot again?" A soft laugh rang out, and Zu An looked in the direction of the voice.
He was initially disappointed to see that the other person wasn't in bed today.
However, her eyes were soon drawn to Yu Yanluo, who was wearing a snow-white top, a fire-fox vest draped over her shoulders, and a bright red skirt, which made her even more radiant and beautiful.
Her beautiful hair was meticulously styled into a cloud-like bun, adorned with a pretty phoenix hairpin. The tassels on the hairpin swayed gently, enough to make any man's heart flutter.
Zu An had just been tormented by Pei Mianman all night and was still in a state of sanity. After a slight daze, he looked at her with clear eyes and said, "Greetings, Madam."
Yu Yanluo looked somewhat surprised; she had even dressed up specially for today.
However, she didn't take offense and said with a smile, "You've come so early, you probably haven't eaten yet, why don't we eat together?"
Zuan then noticed several small dishes, various local snacks, and two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the small table next to him.
"Thank you, Madam. I am indeed quite hungry." He didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly at the table. After a long night of hard work, he was indeed very exhausted.
Seeing his natural demeanor and open-minded manner, Yu Yanluo's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation.
She also came to the opposite side and slowly sat down, reaching out to smooth her skirt forward, revealing the breathtaking curve of her buttocks.
“Young master, there’s no need for such formalities.” Yu Yanluo smiled slightly. “These are the most authentic delicacies from Yunzhong County. Since you have come from afar, I can do my best to show you hospitality.”
"Oh, I haven't eaten this before." Looking at the dazzling array of food in front of him, Zu'an didn't know where to start.
Seeing this, Yu Yanluo introduced the dishes to him: "This is called Aimanke, it's delicious when dipped in milk tea and broth; this is called Samusa, it's baked until golden brown with flour and sesame seeds on the outside, and the inside is the freshest lamb; this is called rice sausage... this is called Western Region Soul-Severing Slice."
"Western Region Soul-Severing Pastry?" Zu An was taken aback, looking at the pastry wrapped with various nuts and candied fruits.
Yu Yanluo pursed her lips: "This wasn't originally called that. It's just that it looks beautiful, but it's actually much heavier than it appears. Many people would pay far more than expected for even just a small piece, so everyone calls it the Western Region Soul-Severing Cut. Over time, people have forgotten its original name."
"Such a thing exists?" Zu An asked with a strange expression, recalling something similar from his past life.
