"What?" She mumbled.

  A low laugh rumbled slowly from Le Salang's broad chest. His large palm wandered back and forth over the woman's fair, blushing clear skin, his hot lips kissed every inch of that beautiful face, then buried his face in her trimmed ear-length hair.

  "Landlord, you invited me to bathe together, that's a great show of good will, and you obediently drank the medicine, such rare docility. Of course I should reward you with a sweet treat." He wrapped his arms around her, pressing their abdomens tightly together to let her feel that the sweet treat she wanted had long been burning hot for her.

  She asked for a reward, of course he would give it, and he was more than willing to do so.

  Raindrops outside the building still fell haphazardly, tick-tocking irregularly. Inside the building, behind the purple gauze curtain, the tub began to surge violently. With the rippling passion, water spilled and soaked the entire floor...

  Half an hour later.

  The man and woman, who had splashed half the tub's water out, had moved to a soft mat covered with ice silk brocade. After one round of lovemaking, neither of them fell asleep. Hua Duomei lay lazily on her side in the man's arms, her snow-white back pressed against his chest and abdomen, her fingers stroking the thick male arm wrapped around her waist.

  "...Le Salang, I know I'm very willful, I've caused a lot of trouble. You must be tired being with me, always having to clean up my mess after me."

  Inside the purple gauze curtain, where the scent of love still lingered thickly, her murmur carried a quiet smile, drifting out slowly. The tall, strong body behind her could not help tensing slightly.

  Hua Duomei chuckled, and finally turned in his arms, to face that angular face directly.

  Looking closely into the depths of his dark, abyssal pupils, her heart trembled, and she said: "The matter of Lü Yun, you actually helped a great deal in secret, I know that. The Moshe people hate her to the bone, they've always wanted to take her from you... She really wasn't good in the past, it's all because of her extreme temperament. It's understandable that the Moshe people want to get rid of her." She paused, moistening her lips: "But I just want her to join the Feixia Building sect, let her try our family's secret art. Who knows if it will really work wonders. Once she can settle into her female body, no longer wavering between being neither man nor woman, both man and woman, her temperament will definitely become much more stable." She smiled and blinked her eyes. This lazy,娇柔 look easily makes people mistake that the mighty Landlord is actually shy.

  Le Salang's thick eyebrows lifted almost imperceptibly, because that beautiful face looked more and more like a shy one. His face remained impassive, but his eyes sparkled with pleasure, as he heard her continue—

  "You don't like me being close to Lü Yun, you're afraid she hasn't changed her bad habits and will stir up trouble again. You were angry at my willful act, yet you still gave in to me in the end. You not only made the Moshe people back off, but also promised to help them find their clansmen who were abducted to Jin Island, in exchange for letting Lü Yun stay... I know all of this."

  This big man couldn't stand up to her, and she knew he had given in secretly and helped her. No matter how ruthless and unscrupulous Hua Duomei was, she couldn't bear to fight with him anymore.

  "If that bitch makes any wrong move, I won't go easy on her. Besides, the Moshe people haven't given up on her, they're still secretly watching her like tigers. What happens next depends on whether this Eighth Princess behaves herself." He spoke gruffly, and suddenly turned over and pinned her under him. "Landlord, you've always been used to having your own way, your willfulness is outrageous. Even if you know I'm not happy in my heart, you don't care, don't you?"

  That was just angry words she said at the beginning! How could she not care about him?

  Pinned under him, Hua Duomei intentionally lowered her stance, softly and amorously kneading his hair. She bit her lip, moistened it, bit it again, until her little mouth was as red and tender as spring cherry blossoms, then she exhaled like orchid and said: "Le Salang, do you remember the words you angrily questioned me that day? You said I caused trouble and kept provoking just to manipulate you, to make my heart go up and down, unstable. You also said I treated you as a toy to play with between my fingers, enjoyed it to the full, just to prove how capable I am, that I can control a man completely... Le Salang, that's not how it is. That day, my heart was very messy, very painful. When you held Danhua and walked away big steps, and didn't come back to the building for several days in a row, it hurt even more..."

  Le Salang stared at her without blinking, his left chest stirred because she suddenly brought up this matter. His broad chest pressed against her rounded breasts, he saw the redness rise from under her skin, spreading in a seductive manner. Her face was red, her snow-white ears were red, her fragrant shoulders and breasts were all soaked in this spring red... She was really shy!

  His mood suddenly turned great again. After waiting a moment, seeing that she actually bit her lip and said nothing, he narrowed his eyes, straightened her hot face, and would never allow her to dodge.

  "So?" If this woman dared to stop halfway through her speech, he would make her... make her not step out of the Landlord's boudoir for ten whole days!

  He heard her almost inaudible sigh, then those red lips moved and spoke.

  "So... back then you also left a word, saying that my ultimate goal was to test you, to see if you could keep your promise when you were extremely angry, and never leave me again." If she didn't make it clear, she would feel bad in her heart. But to say it clearly, she had to muster great courage, and had to temporarily throw the face of her Landlord identity out beyond the clouds. Taking a deep breath, she fixed her gaze directly on that stubborn, tense face that seemed equally as nervous as hers.

  "Lord Le Salang, maybe you're right, maybe I really did test you with the matter of Danhua and Barlow. Maybe I'm too timid but love to put on a tough front. I say I don't care about you, thinking that if I do this, my heart really won't care, at least... won't care that much, that much. But no matter what I do, you've always monopolized my heart. So barbaric, so unreasonable. I'm so miserable, I can only care more and more. It's truly miserable, so infuriating!"

  Her annoyed last words were cut off by the man's heavy kiss. Le Salang held her tightly, his heavy force as if he couldn't wait to swallow her whole.

  "Who's miserable? Are you more miserable than me? Is that right? When it comes to being barbaric and unreasonable, isn't that the Landlord's usual specialty? With each question, his ten fingers, lips and tongue became more aggressive, attacking her body.

  The naked man and woman were deeply entangled, their most intimate parts fitting together wildly. Both bodies were barbaric, unreasonable, both hearts were completely defeated by the other.

  "Duomei... if you really don't care, I will definitely make you so miserable that you have to care... He had already given his heart, how could he be content if his Landlord didn't jump into the abyss with him together!

  This night, the Landlord really had a miserable time.

  Her man had too much accumulated resentment against her. When she finally found the courage to open up her secret feelings, the man made outrageous demands, showed no mercy in extracting compensation. The result of such thorough compensation was that the Landlord kept sleeping and sleeping, fainted until afternoon before barely waking up...

  After waking up, the Landlord was shocked beyond measure. She never thought that last night the man had completely broken through her jade chamber secret art, made her so miserable. Only now did she deeply understand that a man with resentment in his heart is the most dangerous, even the jade chamber secret art can hardly handle him...

  Autumn comes, winter comes, winter goes, spring arrives.

  No matter what season it is, the style of Nanyang always carries the faint lazy scent of summer.

  In late spring, Le Salang and the Feng family ships delivered three large shiploads of goods to the Central Plains again. His Landlord naturally went along with him. He was afraid of leaving her alone on the Nanyang great island, with no him by his side to restrain her, by that time she would really be like a wild horse breaking free from the reins running onto the steppe, disappearing without a trace, or do something appalling enough to make him turn white overnight in anger.

  Being able to return to the dreamland of Jiangnan, to reunite with relatives and old friends, of course Hua Duomei was overjoyed, she had to go along! Besides, this trip back to the Central Plains had another purpose. She planned to send Lü Yun, who had achieved some small success in cultivating the secret art, to Feixia Building in Jiangnan, invite the Twelve Golden Hairpin Guests to train her in turns, let the twenty-four silver zither ladies lead her to improve again and again, let the thirty famous jade celestial maidens practice together with her. Anyway, after throwing her into Feixia Building, whether she can hold on depends on her own ability.

  Hearing that Lü Yun was going to be exiled to Jiangnan, the happiest person was Le Salang. These past few months have been a real ordeal for this big man. For his Landlord's willful request, he kept Lü Yun behind, but he could never fully rest easy, always having the bad feeling of nurturing a tiger that will bring calamity, a thorn in his back. Especially that bitch doesn't take him seriously at all. What he hates the most is that she would silently sneak into the Landlord's boudoir, stand outside the purple gauze curtain without saying a word, just specifically come ruin his good things!

  She and he got along extremely badly, but she could get along peacefully with his Landlord, Danhua, even the twelve little servant girls, and it got better and better. Sometimes when he saw how she got along with his Landlord, his throat would get tight, and he would be so annoyed his teeth itched! So, sending that bitch to Feixia Building in Jiangnan, letting her taste the means of the seventy-two sisters, especially letting the man-eating Twelve Golden Hairpin Guests train her properly... hahaha, just thinking of her falling into the tight net laid by the Golden Hairpin Guests, the resentment that had been pent up in his heart blew away with the wind. That truly is, heaven has a road she won't take, hell has no gate she barges in anyway! Perfect!
