With Li Zheng's words, the dancer finally stayed.
The dancer stopped seducing Lin Zao and instead knelt obediently beside the table, pouring wine and serving food to her without daring to overstep her bounds.
Seeing that she was honest, Lin Zao let her be.
The banquet then returned to normal, with everyone eating and drinking as usual, and accepting all advances from the beautiful women.
Having witnessed Lin Zao's previous actions, they wouldn't be foolish enough to anger the prefect.
Besides, they wouldn't have a jealous wife like Lin Zao.
If they had a wife like that, she would have been divorced long ago. How dare she interfere in the men's affairs? She probably doesn't know who's in charge.
The atmosphere suddenly became even more lively. Some of the guests were probably drunk and started to grope the dancers next to them.
Although the dancers wanted to avoid it, they dared not refuse since the prefect, who was sitting at the head of the table, had not spoken.
This time was different from the previous times, when they only had to dance and pour drinks, and didn't need to do anything else.
However, this time, perhaps because they performed a striptease and were dressed scantily, the male guests, slightly intoxicated, couldn't help but reveal their true colors.
Even so, they could not hide, because their indentures were in the hands of the prefect. Their life or death depended on the prefect's word. In order to survive, they had no choice but to endure it.
In this day and age, if they leave the prefect's house, they might have an even harder time.
Although Lin Zao disapproved of this scene, everyone has their own way of living, and since they chose to stay, it meant they had accepted their fate.
She couldn't give them a choice either.
As the scene became increasingly unbearable to watch, with even Huang Xiaohu clinging to a beautiful woman, Lin Zao's expression turned somewhat grim.
The man in black next to her, however, did not make any move, remaining seated with an indifferent expression, unmoved.
The dancers wanted to get closer to him, after all, he was handsome and had a captivating aura. Unfortunately, they hadn't even taken a few steps before they were frightened away by the black-clad young master's murderous gaze.
Being alive is more important than good looks.
Fortunately, these people still had some bottom line and did not do anything improper in front of everyone.
The prefect declared, "It is late today. If you heroes like these beauties, feel free to take them back and enjoy them."
The evening banquet thus came to an end.
Most of the men left with their arms around the dancers beside them; it was obvious what was going to happen.
Huang Xiaohu originally wanted to leave with the beauty beside him, but seeing Lin Zao looking at him coldly, he reluctantly let the beauty leave.
More important than a beautiful woman are her thighs.
Lin Zao, with Huang Xiaohu in tow, followed the men in black toward their residence.
Having had no chance to speak along the way, Lin Zao planned to first check on the prefect's movements that evening, and then find an opportunity to talk to the man in black.
After Lin Zao returned to her room, she closed the door tightly and prepared to change into night clothes to sneak into the prefect's residence at night.
Just as she took off her coat, there was a soft knock on the door.
Lin Zao paused, quickly put her clothes back on, and waited for a while before opening the door.
Standing outside the door was the very same beautiful woman who had almost been dragged away earlier.
Lin Zao's face darkened:
What are you doing here?
The beauty was frightened by Lin Zao's dark expression and stammered, "It was...it was the prefect who ordered me to come and serve the young master, and he told me to keep to myself..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zao finally understood what Li Zheng meant earlier.
