Deep down, he didn't really want to deal with them. After all, he and the emperor would eventually turn against each other. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. With them here, they would be an extra source of help.
However, he didn't want to show it, lest the other party take the opportunity to blackmail him, which would be troublesome.
At this moment, Kong Nanwu said, "In fact, Young Master Zu, there is no need to worry too much. There are quite a few officials in the capital who have connections with us. Everyone can get what they need. It's always better to have more friends than more enemies."
Zu An asked in a deep voice, "I wonder which officials are involved?"
Kong Nanwu shook her head: "Young master, that's a rather abrupt question. How could I possibly tell you their information? Even if someone asked me about you, I wouldn't say anything. Besides, if you don't trust me, don't you trust Sister Xue'er?"
Zu'an then said, "Alright, for Xue'er's sake, I won't hold this against you or report you, but let's not contact each other again."
After saying that, he got up and was about to leave.
Kong Nanwu stood up and blocked his way: "It's not appropriate for Young Master Zu to go out at this time."
"What, you're not letting me leave?" Zuan said calmly.
“That’s not it,” Kong Nanwu smiled faintly. “It’s just that everyone outside knows that you’ve been chosen by Nanxun as her lover. If you go out so soon, busybodies might make up some strange rumors, while smart people will become suspicious, since Nanxun’s charm is well-known.”
Zu An's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that what the other party said was true. Those young masters outside might not have left yet. If they knew that he was leaving so early, they would definitely make all sorts of wild guesses.
Seeing that he was wavering, Kong Nanwu said with a smile, "Young master, you have overcome several obstacles and finally won the heart of the beauty. Let Nanxun serve you well and rest for one night before you leave."
Zuan glanced at Nanxun, speechless for a moment: "If you're going to use your beauty to seduce someone, at least use a real person."
Kong Nanwu smiled and explained, "Young master, there's no need to worry. The form of the Changgui is different from the ghosts described in your human folk paintings. Apart from her extremely yin and cold body and inability to have children, she is not much different from a normal woman."
Zuan: "..."
It has to be said that he was indeed somewhat tempted, after all, he had always been curious about Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian's life-and-death friendship.
But he quickly banished the strange thought from his mind: "What do you take me for!"
Kong Nanwu continued, "Nanxun was once a concubine of the Prince of Qi, and she is no different now. Moreover, she is still a virgin, which is equivalent to the Prince of Qi's concubine serving you. I believe no man could resist such temptation."
Zu An's heart skipped a beat. This woman was a master at manipulating people's hearts, knowing how to arouse a man's most primal desires.
However, he said calmly, "No need. I'll rest here for the night. I don't need anyone to accompany me. You don't need to use your honey trap anymore."
Kong Nanwu sighed: "Does the young master think that I have been doing this again and again to seduce you?"
"Isn't that so?" Zuan remained completely unmoved.
Kong Nanwu sighed: "Young master, you don't know this, but Nanxun's form cannot exist in this world for long. She must constantly absorb the essence of men. This courtesan competition was held for this reason, thinking that at least she could choose someone she liked. In the end, she carefully chose you. But if you are not willing, in order to prevent her soul from being scattered, I can only let her serve other men."
Zuan: "..."
This woman is really amazing. She appealed to his emotions and reasoned with him, making him feel like he was pushing Nanxun into a fire if he didn't sleep with her.
At this moment, Kong Nanwu said, "Originally, if a man's vital energy were drained by her, he would suffer physical damage, and after a few times, he might even be in danger of losing his life. However, the young master's cultivation method is special, and he is not afraid of being entangled by her yin energy. Therefore, I hope that the young master will lend a helping hand to Nanxun. After all, she was a decent person in her past life and does not want to really fall into prostitution and live a life of eking out a living by sleeping with various men."
Zu An frowned and said, "In the end, isn't it because your demon race's cultivation method is too evil!"
At this moment, Nanxun said, "I don't blame Miss at all. On the contrary, I am very grateful to her. If it weren't for her saving me, I would have been annihilated long ago."
Well, even the aggrieved party himself is so grateful, so there's nothing more to say.
At this moment, Kong Nanwu bowed slightly and said, "We won't disturb your rest any longer, young master."
After saying this, without waiting for Zu An to stop him, he left with his maid and considerately closed the door behind him.
Zuan looked annoyed. What do you take me for? Do you think I'd be blinded by beauty?
At this moment, Nanxun whispered, "Young master, let me massage your head."
Zuan was taken aback, wondering which head he wanted to pinch?
However, a pair of soft hands soon landed on his forehead, cool and refreshing, which felt extremely comfortable.
The other person's hands were very gentle, and they seemed to know a lot about massage techniques. In just a few strokes, Zuan's tense body relaxed unconsciously.
"Wow, your technique is really good," Zu'an couldn't help but ask.
"I used to be a secret agent, which honed my skills in serving people," Nan Xun said with a hint of self-pity.
Zuan fell silent for a moment; saying anything more at this point would be futile.
At the same time, I envy that King Qi. With such a beautiful woman by his side and such skillful hands, he must be living a very comfortable life.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say, "Actually, this isn't the first time we've met."
"Hmm?" Nanxun was somewhat surprised. "Young Master, have you seen me before? That's not right. In the early days, I was training in secret and had very little contact with people. After entering the Qi Prince's mansion, I lived even more secluded. Even within the Qi Prince's mansion, there were very few people who had seen my true face."
