Chapter 30: The Most Shameless Seduction in History

  "Miss, what's this?!" Looking at Qilin in men's clothing, Lüzhú was very puzzled.

  Qilin smoothed her hair, and after some effort, finally managed to tie it all up. She patted her clothes, smiled slightly at the green bamboo, and said, "How's that? Doesn't your family's young lady also count as a handsome man?"

  Through these days of interaction, Qilin's attitude towards Lüzhú has also become more casual, and Lüzhú seems to have adapted to Qilin's casual approach. The master-slave relationship between the two has gradually eased.

  Green bamboo looked up and down at Qilin, very well, the snow-white men's clothing made her look more spirited, red lips and white teeth, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, if she didn't know she was a girl, she would really think this was a handsome young man. Green bamboo nodded "It is indeed more handsome, but... compared to Yu Mu Gongzi, it's slightly inferior."

  It won't kill you if you don't add the words at the end. Qilin gave Lüzhú a speechless white eye, anyway this is an arduous and magnificent task."I'm out of here."

  Very reluctantly but without hesitation, she pushed open the door and faced the wind blowing towards her. Qilin couldn't help but shiver, and she slapped herself in the face to wake herself up before stepping out.

  Unfortunately, heaven gave her a good start but let her neglect the length of her clothes. So when she started to take her third step, her foot stepped on her clothes and then she fell down in front of Green Bamboo in a grand manner.

  This is a terrible start.

  After tidying up everything, Qilin finally stood clean and spotless in the Peony Garden after falling countless times, patting off the mud on her body with a slow and steady pace.

  When she saw the astonishment in Peony's eyes, Qilin knew that her trick had worked. How could someone who had seen so many lilies not even know this? Fortunately, she was living in the complex 21st century, and Qilin entered Peony's inner room.

  She glanced at Qiao'er beside her and inadvertently caught sight of the red mark on Qiao'er's neck. Qi Lin subconsciously pulled at her own collar and said, "Miss Peony, I don't know if the medicine I gave you was effective."

  As she spoke, she touched Peony's ankle and found that Peony was taken aback, her cheeks slightly red. Qilin smiled faintly, "The wound on your foot can't be taken lightly, you must be careful."

  "Thank you." Facing the girl Qilin, Mudan was gentle, but seeing Qilin dressed in men's clothing, so delicate and charming, Mudan actually felt a little shy, slightly raised the corner of her mouth, nodded and said "It still hurts, I don't know if it's because of recent...".

  Seeing Peony lower her head, seemingly somewhat sorrowful, Qilin slightly revealed concern and asked "What's wrong?"

  "It doesn't matter."

  "Miss Peony has been having foot pain lately, I'm afraid it's a relapse of her old illness." Gently stroking Miss Peony's ankle, Qiao'er showed a worried face "But fortunately, Red Snow's medicine is working and it's not that severe anymore."

  Uh? Qilin was stunned, what is this singing about.

  "In that case, I'll help you with a massage."

  "Massage?"

  Peony and Qiao'er looked at Qi Lin in confusion, Qi Lin suddenly realized that this term was unfamiliar to this era, awkwardly smiled, "Cough cough, Green Bamboo, hurry up and help Peony miss to the bed."

  Although she wanted to call out to Chaoer, Qilin gave up.

  When Peony lay on the bed, Qilin gently helped her take off her socks, carefully took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom and placed it on Peony's jade feet, then lightly massaged, thinking in her heart how to make Peony completely surrender without hurting Xiao'er.

  Seeing Qilin being so meticulous and gentle, Qiao'er didn't understand what she wanted to do either. However, upon seeing Peony's gaze, Qiao'er pulled on Lüzhú's hand and whispered, "I've asked the kitchen to prepare some pastries, would you like to go with me to get them, Green Bamboo sister?"

  Green bamboo hesitated for a moment, thinking it was nothing, and followed along.

  After they left, Qilin's heart began to beat restlessly, although on the surface she was calm, but she knew danger was approaching. Wanting to find some topics to chat about, she discovered that all the topics she thought of were from the 21st century.

  Her hand suddenly felt warm, and when she looked up, she met Peony's shy eyes. Looking again at the jade-like hands rubbing back and forth on her own hand, Qilin abruptly withdrew her hand, stood up in an instant, turned around and left.

  Hurriedly walking out of the Peony Garden, she happened to see Bu Yao and Long Yan not far away, and Bu Yao also saw her. That gaze was like asking if she had succeeded or not. Qi Lin's heart felt guilty as she lowered her head.

  When I looked up again, don't already have Long Ye walking far away. I thought Bai Yu must have deliberately brought Long Ye here, but unexpectedly ran into myself who had run out, this is embarrassing.

  Just when I wanted to know how to get back, I saw Qiao'er and Lüzhú bringing some pastries over. Qi Lin ran over to take the pastries from them, saying "Lüzhú, aren't you still unfamiliar with the surroundings? Let Qiao'er take you around."

  Green bamboo looked at Qilin in surprise. She was very familiar with the environment here, but it was Qilin who often got lost. Just as she was about to say something, Qiao'er pulled her along.

  "Green Bamboo sister, don't be polite." Hurriedly pulling Green Bamboo away, she of course knew what to do, but hadn't expected Qilin to act like this, and Cui'er's disdain for Qilin increased by a few points.

  After adjusting her mood, Qilin turned around and walked to Peony's door. Just as she was about to open the door, it automatically opened. Peony's slightly pale face was obvious at a glance. Qilin frowned slightly, hadn't they just been apart for a short while?

  Seeing Qilin seemingly taken aback, Peony took a step back and looked at Qilin with confusion, saying "I thought... you left."

  "I just think that Qiao and the others are too slow, so I came out to take a look." Qi Lin smiled gently, pulled over Peony's hand, and slightly frowned "Why is it so cold? Did you catch a chill?"

  The peony slightly lowered its eyelids and said softly, "Don't be like that. I've always been this way. Come in quickly, don't catch a chill."

  Following Peony in, I suddenly felt like I had arrived in hell. But still trying to calm myself down, I smiled and said "Miss Peony, so you love eating flower cakes."

  "The cake is light and refreshing, I don't like greasy things." Peony smiled slightly, picked up a cake, but was held back by Qilin's gentle grasp.

  Don't you dislike greasy and heavy flavors? Although she thought so, Qilin didn't say "How can we let the injured person move?" Although I'm a woman, I also know how to cherish and appreciate.

  Even she herself felt sick listening to it, but looking at the person in front of her, she actually blushed and seemed to be enjoying this action.

  It's all right, just think of yourself as a man, and with a beautiful woman, you can be happy like this.

  Thinking of this, Qilin carefully cut a small piece of cake and sent it to Peony's mouth. As she watched the pink lips slightly open, Qilin mischievously withdrew her hand and quickly put the cake into her own mouth. The faint floral scent immediately spread in her mouth, and Qilin licked the remaining crumbs on her fingers.

  "Peony flower." Although she didn't know if peony flowers could be made into cakes, Qilin still spoke nonsense because the listener's mind was not on pastries at all. "No, I ate a peony."

  "Hmph." Mudan covered her face and laughed, "How annoying. I'm still sitting here just fine, this is the signature pastry of Drunken Flower Pavilion, made with the tea flowers from Yu Mu Gongzi's Bamboo Idler Residence, not even a peony flower."

  As expected, after a careful taste, I can indeed taste a hint of tea flavor. Qilin nodded in agreement. While thinking about what to do next, a close-up shot of a pastry appeared in front of her, and Qilin was taken aback, just in time to see Mudan's playful gaze.

  Good, die with a gentleman? No, die with a beauty.

  She slightly opened her mouth, but just as Peony was about to withdraw her hand, she grasped Peony's tender wrist and took the two fingers' worth of pastry into her mouth. Qi Lin didn't immediately let go, instead sticking out her tongue to twirl around Peony's fingertips.

  "Who are you?" Peony had never met such a bold person before. The soft sensation transmitted from the fingertips made her blush instantly, but she also struggled to take out "Ah Xue, what is this?"

  "Uh?" Letting go of Mudan's hand, Qilin licked the edge of her lips and said with a feigned apology, "Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. I've offended Miss Mudan. Ah Xue is truly guilty..."

  Before Zilin could finish speaking, her mouth was already covered by Mudan's sweet fingers. Looking up at Mudan's eyes that were almost brimming with tears, Zilin smiled slightly and grasped Mudan's hand, saying "Since Miss Mudan doesn't like it, Ah Xue won't do it again in the future. Sorry, I'll leave now."

  Before Peony could react, Qilin quickly turned around and walked towards the door. However, before she could open it, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist. Qilin never expected that Peony would hug her from behind like this.

  It was rare for her to be tightly hugged from behind, but being hugged by a woman from behind was a first. Suppressing the heart that was about to jump out and the goosebumps all over her body, Qilin softly asked "What's wrong?"

  "I love peonies, and Peony loves Ah Xue."

  This sentence was like a gust of cold wind in the depths of winter, creeping from Qilin's toes to her forehead, making her shiver uncontrollably.

  Just as he was about to say something, Peony rushed to Qilin's front, quickly printed a kiss on the corner of Qilin's mouth, then opened the door and pushed Qilin out who had not reacted yet, slammed the door shut and pressed her pounding heart.

  When the real cold wind poured in from the collar, Qilin really shuddered and only then reacted, with her pupils staring like a bell, tightly covering her mouth.

  She was kissed by someone, and it was a woman!

  "Tomorrow at sunset, peonies will be here waiting for you with a feast."

  The gentle voice of Peony slowly came through the door gap, Qi Lin was stunned, looked at the back door, and awkwardly twitched the corner of her mouth. Who said that ancient people were low-key and introverted?

  With a melancholy heart, I walked on the road back home, gazing up at the sunset red on the horizon. A few birds flapped their wings and flew away, and she too yearned to become a bird flying towards the free sky, not controlled by anyone, or... be able to not do these things that she hated.

  "What's going on?"

  Suddenly, she heard the bird's panicked chirping. Qilin raised her eyes again and saw a bird falling straight from the sky to the treetop, then dropping down. Qilin quickly walked over, picked up the dead bird, its small body still warm, but couldn't find any wounds.

  Helpless sighs, in this era, even flying can be secretly calculated by others.

  Suddenly a blackness appeared before her eyes, Qilin had just gotten up to see who it was but was pressed on the acupoints from behind, and only smelled a faint tea fragrance.

  The man smiled slightly, pulled out a silk handkerchief from Qilin's arms, folded it in half and gently covered Qilin's eyes. He lightly tapped Qilin's abdomen twice and took Qilin's icy hand.

  "The sunset is so beautiful, how can we waste it?" she said, and then took Qi Lin's hand and walked along a small path.

  While Zilin can walk, she cannot struggle, but it seems like she can speak, or else she would be asking for help?

  "Girl, just give up. As long as you speak, I'll kill you." Although the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in a faint smile, his words also carried a faint murderous intent. "Just like that bird from earlier, even if it's in the sky, I can still kill it."

  It turns out that's how it is. Qilin raised the corner of her mouth and said, "I've never thought that someone who doesn't dare to let me see his true face is very formidable."

  She thought that the person would make excuses or take some action after hearing her, but Qilin waited for half a day without getting any response. Just when she thought the mysterious person had left, she suddenly felt a tightness around her waist, and before she knew it, she was being swept off her feet and carried away in someone's arms.

  "Look, you don't know how to seduce people at all, I'll teach you." He whispered in Qilin's ear, and saw that Qilin's ears suddenly turned red. He had long known that Qilin was most sensitive about her ears, so he couldn't help but tease her a bit.

  Huh? What does it mean? Just as Zilin was about to ask for clarification, the whistling wind rushing past her ear stopped her.

  Damn it, qinggong.
