Chapter 96: Five Years (1) (Seeking Subscriptions!)
After Shishu Qian left, Liu Yu and the other four did not linger for long. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the four of them summoned their escape light and returned to the cold iron mine.
Liu Yu also returned to his residence in Southern City. Upon entering, he paused for a moment and instructed the guards to bring the dancers and singers given to him by Chai Wenzheng.
Although Chai Wenzheng was just a mere echo in front of the cultivators, relatively speaking, under such a barbaric and backward system, he was the ruler of tens of thousands of ordinary lives in Cold Moon City.
The two dancers and singers were both virgins, selected from tens of thousands of people in the city. They were among the best, with unparalleled looks, figures, and temperaments.
These were the women that countless ordinary men dreamed of, wanting to reproduce with them and unleash their most primal desires.
Yet, for a cultivator like Liu Yu, they were merely playthings that he could summon and dismiss at will.
Before long, the guards brought the two women to the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake and then bowed to leave.
"Servant girl Liu Bing'er and Shi Yan, greeting the immortal master!"
Both women were draped in cloaks, which they removed before bowing, revealing their beautiful figures and faces.
They both wore slightly transparent gauzy dresses, through which their snow-white skin and elegant curves could be faintly seen.
The woman on the left, named Liu Bing'er, lived up to her name, possessing a cold and alluring temperament along with an exquisite beauty. Her brows were like smoke, and her eyes sparkled with brilliance, perfectly complemented by her light blue gauzy dress.
The woman on the right, called Shi Yan, was no less perfect. Her long, narrow eyes seemed to hold autumn waters, and her ruby-red lips had a captivating charm. She wore a pink gauzy dress that accentuated her prominent bosom.
Both were in the prime of their youth, beautifully adorned, with colorful ribbons binding their hair, and accessories adorning their hair and wrists.
"You two shall call me Young Master from now on."
"Who among you can play the guqin?"
Liu Yu's gaze swept over the graceful forms of the two before he spoke slowly. This was the first time he had seen them.
"Yes, Young Master!" "This servant is skilled at the guqin."
Liu Bing'er raised her delicately crafted chin and said, her voice clear and gentle.
Liu Yu took out a guqin from the loft and placed it in the center of the pavilion, then sat down in a Grand Scholar Chair, leaning back against the backrest.
"Play a tune of 'High Mountains and Flowing Water' for me to listen to."
Liu Bing'er immediately responded softly, kneeling before the strings, her white fingers beginning to move rhythmically.
Liu Yu had been feeling good lately with everything going smoothly, and he closed his eyes, listening intently to the melodies.
The path of cultivation requires balance, and appropriate relaxation is beneficial to cultivation.
Just as he was deeply immersed in the music, a soft body like jade gently settled onto his lap and leaned against him.
Without opening his eyes, Liu Yu knew who it was. Although he needed to maintain his primordial yang body to improve his chances of foundation establishment, it did not prevent him from indulging in some "interesting" activities first.
Liu Yu inhaled a fragrant scent like orchids, his left arm moving to embrace the soft figure tightly, savoring the beauty of the moment.
After a quarter of an hour, Shi Yan's breathing grew more rapid, her cheeks flushed and her eyes hazy, as if veiled in a layer of mist, while Liu Bing'er's guqin playing began to falter.
Liu Yu opened his eyes, his pupils dark beneath his lashes, exuding a sense of calm and depth.
With a flick of his magical power, he pushed the woman in his arms two meters away and said lightly, "Alright, you may leave now!"
Although the pleasures of a tender embrace were enticing, they were not what Liu Yu desired. One could enjoy them, but not become overly infatuated with beauty, lest it become a weakness.
