"Hehehe... I never expected Brother Bear to see things so clearly!"
However, at that moment, a charming laugh suddenly rang out from outside the cave.
Everyone looked in the direction of the cave entrance and saw a woman in red slowly walking in. She had a graceful figure, a gentle smile, and exuded an alluring charm.
Upon seeing the woman's sudden appearance, the others reacted with surprise, wariness, or a dazed look as they were captivated by her. Only the burly leader laughed heartily, exclaiming, "The Lady Hongyu has arrived! We are so sorry for not welcoming you sooner! We are so sorry for not welcoming you sooner!"
Lady Hongyu?
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, the burly man stood up and explained, "Let me introduce you all. This is Consort Hongyu of our Tianyu Dynasty! Thanks to Consort Hongyu's colorless poison smoke, we were able to so easily take such a big piece of meat as Yunxiao Escort Agency!"
Hearing this, Hongyu covered her mouth and smiled: "It's all thanks to Brother Xiong's courage. If it were anyone else, how would they dare to take action against the Yunxiao Escort Agency!"
"Hahaha! If we're going to be bandits and afraid of this and that, we might as well be pimps in the city! But with such a big shipment, we can certainly enjoy ourselves in the city for a while!"
The burly man laughed twice, picked up his wine bowl, and said, "Quick! Serve wine to Lady Hongyu! I want to offer her a proper toast!"
Immediately, one of the underlings stood up, picked up a bowl of wine, and was about to step forward.
But Hongyu chuckled and waved her hand, then turned and walked to the side of the head seat. She hooked her arm around the burly man's wrist and smiled softly, "This humble servant... just wants to drink Brother Xiong's bowl!"
"Uh... Hahahaha!"
Faced with Hongyu's blatant provocation, the burly man didn't hesitate either. He laughed twice and reached out to hook Hongyu's slender waist.
Hongyu easily dodged the attack, but instead, she hooked the wine bowl in his hand and brought it to his nose for a gentle sniff.
As the saying goes, wine and women can intoxicate, but I wonder if tonight the wine is more intoxicating, or the person is more intoxicated?
"Yo—"
Seeing this, the underlings below started to jeer and make strange noises.
The burly man swallowed hard, his eyes flashing with a desperate desire as he looked at the beauty so close to him.
"It's rare for Your Highness to be in such a refined mood, so we'll naturally keep you company to the very end, until we're all drunk! Whether it's wine or people, let's get them all drunk!"
"Hahaha……"
Faced with everyone's ridicule, Hongyu was not annoyed. She simply put down her wine bowl without drinking, raised her eyes, and smiled: "Before drinking, I have a small request. I wonder if Brother Xiong can grant it?"
"Yes, yes!" The burly man patted his chest. "The Empress has helped us brothers so much; at least half of that shipment belongs to her!"
The big man was clearly somewhat bewildered by Hongyu's charm and began to make random promises.
Fortunately, he remained somewhat clear-headed and only made half of the promise.
If he gives it all away, I wonder if his underlings will just come up and chop him up with knives.
"Hehehe... Big brother is so generous, it truly makes me very happy!"
"Plop..."
The burly man swallowed again.
He thought to himself that the emperor's taste was indeed excellent. With such a woman by his side, he would probably trade half the country for her!
"But... I don't want money..."
"No money? What do you want if you don't want money?" The burly man chuckled. "You don't want a person, do you?"
"Yo—"
My little brother started stirring things up again!
Hongyu smiled faintly, gazed at him intently for a long while, and finally leaned forward, sniffing at the burly man like a predatory beast, before finally saying, "This servant... wants to eat Brother Xiong..."
"Hahaha!"
"The boss is in luck!"
"A beauty like Her Majesty is probably one of a kind in the entire Tianyu Dynasty. Tonight, the Chief will surely be the dragon among men!"
"Isn't she a dragon among men! Her Highness is a Noble Consort, a woman even Emperor Tianyu covets!"
"Your Majesty, is it...Your Majesty..."
As he spoke, his voice gradually fell silent.
The expressions on everyone's faces slowly froze.
The burly man hadn't even realized what was happening; his mind was still racing, fantasizing about how he would utterly annihilate his opponent that night...
As the sounds below gradually subsided, the burly man finally snapped out of his daydream.
"What's going on? Why is everyone so quiet?"
The burly man was stunned for a moment, just in time to see Hongyu's charming lips curving slightly, a smile that was not quite a smile.
"Um...I...Ah! What...what is that!"
Just as the burly man was about to speak, he suddenly felt as if something had wrapped around his body, rendering him unable to move.
Looking down, I was terrified!
The woman's feet were no longer visible under her skirt, but a thick snake tail covered in red scales emerged from below and bound her tightly!
Hongyu leaned forward again, a scarlet snake tongue that had just subsided protruding from her rosy lips. She beckoned it to the burly man before pulling it back into her mouth.
"Indeed... Brother Xiong, you're much better than wine!"
"A...a monster!"
Only then did the crowd below finally scream in terror!
They've been bandits for so many years, robbing and plundering ordinary people. Where have they ever seen a real monster?
Upon seeing Hongyu's true form, they were all terrified and had no will to resist. They turned and ran away!
"Hongyu! What are you up to, you stinking snake?"
At this moment, Lingmu's voice came from outside the cave, followed by a series of "whoosh" sounds. The underlings who had just run out screamed and ran back into the cave!
Some of the slower runners already had sticky spider silk clinging to their backs.
