When the familiar sound of the door closing echoed, Wang Laowu's drooping mouth curled up into a triumphant smile.
Having lived for sixty years, Wang Laowu was like a sly old fox in reading people's expressions and understanding their thoughts. He had accurately deciphered Chu Qingyi's inner turmoil, and his earlier actions were meant to make her feel guilty and change her attitude towards him.
A fairy is indeed a fairy, even her thoughts are so pure...
As soon as Wang Laowu thought of Chu Qingyi's extremely charming appearance, he became uncontrollably excited.
The first step towards getting close to Fairy Qingyi had been successful, and it was worth all his efforts in the past few days.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Wang Ye, who had already sobered up, quickly prepared himself and set off for the city's Ministry of Justice.
The incident with the demonic beast yesterday was just one of many troublesome cases. In addition, there were many other demonic beasts causing trouble, waiting for him to handle. There was no time to waste.
Feeling the abundant heavenly energy within him, Wang Ye let out a loud breath and silently recited a mantra in his heart, urging the Qi to flow through specific meridians. He saw the heavenly energy beneath his feet leaking out and condensing into a wheel shape, swirling and creating a gust of wind beneath his feet, causing the ground to ripple.
Wang Ye, who had the deepest understanding of swordsmanship, could have used his original immortal weapon, the Tianxuan Sword, to fly at incredible speeds, saving time and providing convenience for tracking down demonic beasts. It was an indispensable treasure.
However, Chief Officer had specifically instructed him not to be too ostentatious within the city, in order to avoid public opinion. This made Wang Ye give up the idea of flying with his sword and rely on his legs to travel honestly.
But the Wang family's old mansion was far from the city centre, and it was still early in the morning when most ordinary people were still asleep in their homes. He could confidently release and condense the immortal energy into a wheel to speed up his journey. Even if someone happened to see him along the way, he would have enough time to retract the energy back into his body.
He confidently activated the wheel beneath his feet and set off towards the Office on the morning dew.
"Yingying, who is this handsome young man? He just achieved a great feat yesterday, but today he couldn't stay at home and enjoy the spring night with his wife. Why did he come so early?" The voice was so charming that Wang Ye immediately knew it was the wife of Chief Officer.
After all, besides her, he couldn't think of anyone else who would dare to flirt with him in broad daylight at the Ministry of Justice.
"Madam is joking. As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm. I, Wang, have just arrived at the Ministry of Justice and have limited experience. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I'll be ridiculed by everyone." Wang Ye spoke respectfully, his words filled with humility.
Others might not know, but he had witnessed the woman's power. With just one glance, she could recognize the demonic beast that had already taken human form among ordinary people, and then she single-handedly captured it and imprisoned it in the underground dungeon of the Ministry of Justice.
When Wang Ye heard about this, he was shocked to the point of dropping his jaw. After all, most demonic beasts that had taken human form had already surpassed the Yin-Yang Convergence realm. Could it be that this woman... possessed such terrifying strength?!
No, that couldn't be possible.
Although he was surprised to learn that Ruanruan was the mysterious number one Shadow Blade within the Ministry of Justice, based on his observations, her strength was at most at the late stage of Three Flowers Gathering Peak. Although it only took one opportunity to break into a new realm, that opportunity was like an insurmountable obstacle. Many cultivators were blocked outside for half their lives, unable to make progress.
But how did she defeat a demonic beast equivalent to the Yin-Yang Convergence realm? Could it be that she was hiding her true strength?!
Amidst Wang Ye's shock, his main feeling was one of confusion.
Later, he happened to learn from Xu Zhengfeng that the demonic beast had only accidentally consumed the Transformation Grass, and it was incredibly lucky to have transformed into a human form. Its actual strength was only equivalent to a cultivator at the Yellow Court Foundation Building realm. It was a piece of cake for Ruanruan to capture it.
Transformation Grass... Wang Ye had also come across information about this herb during his cultivation at the Heavenly Master's Sect. Ordinary demonic beasts, without the need to reach a certain cultivation level, could acquire the ability to transform into humans after consuming it. They could switch freely between their original form and a human form, making them quite elusive.
That little demonic beast had also relied on this ability to cause trouble multiple times in human towns. Once it was discovered, it could transform into a human and perfectly hide among ordinary people, causing a headache for everyone.
But Ruanruan could see through the tricks of this little demonic beast at a glance; she truly had some skills.
Since then, Wang Ye had treated Ruanruan with three parts respect, not only because she was the wife of Chief Officer, but also because he recognized her strength.
However, Ruanruan had a rather strange personality. She often openly flirted with them, the Shadow Blades, and even when the Chief Officer saw it, he didn't mind at all.
"Ah, Young Master Wang, you truly possess humility and courtesy. It's no wonder my daughter is always thinking of you..." Ruanruan's soft, radiant eyes were filled with admiration as she occasionally appraised Wang Ye from head to toe.
"What did you say?"
Due to Ruanruan intentionally lowering her voice, Wang Ye did not hear the second half of her words.
"I said, Young Master Wang, you woke up so early, could it be... could it be that you missed someone so much that you wanted to see them sooner, which is why you came so early."
After saying that, Ruanruan suddenly leaned closer. Her tall figure stood a few inches taller than an ordinary woman. The tip of her nose happened to touch Wang Ye's chin. Her slender jade hands had their nails painted in a bewitching red colour. Her fingertips circled and wandered on his chest, while her other hand grasped the collar of his clothes, leaving him with nowhere to escape.
Wang Ye felt a gust of fragrance surrounding him, entering his nostrils and making his head dizzy and enchanted.
A tingling sensation spread through his chest, making his mind restless. Wang Ye, who had never experienced such teasing from a woman, quickly surrendered. Two blushes appeared on his handsome face, and his two large hands, unable to find a place to rest, could only awkwardly stay behind him, revealing a foolish expression.
"Sob, sob, why can't the young master even speak? Could it be that I'm not pleasing to the young master's eyes?"
Seeing his innocent appearance, Ruanruan found it incredibly adorable and, feeling a sudden impulse, thought that it would be fun to play with Wang Ye during their idle time.
She pretended to be aggrieved, on the verge of tears, while secretly activating her enchanting voice. Her voice, more seductive than before, sent shivers down the spine.
Wang Ye had never been exposed to seductive arts before. He felt a buzzing in his head, his breathing became rapid, and his consciousness became hazy. A wicked fire rose in his lower abdomen, as if thousands of ants were lightly biting him from within. He was compelled by an evil force to seek intimate contact with the opposite sex, and the object beneath his hips started moving uncontrollably.
In a daze, he seemed to see a smug smile at the corner of Ruanruan's mouth. Realizing that something was amiss, he secretly activated the heavenly Qi within him, silently reciting a mind-clearing mantra, doing his best to remain conscious.
He repeated the mind-clearing mantra a few times, suppressing the wicked fire within him, and the lust in his eyes subsided.
However, it seemed that Ruanruan was still immersed in the pleasure of teasing him. Wang Ye didn't bother to expose her and instead followed her lead, pretending to be infatuated as he looked at her.
It must be said that time had not left a trace on Ruanruan's body. Instead, it added a unique charm, emanating an enchanting aura of a mature woman from head to toe.
Her figure was wrapped in a dark red velvet dress, accentuating her alluring curves. The open collar exposed a patch of snow-white, smooth and slender swan-like neck adorned with a specially crafted black necklace. A clear and translucent sapphire pendant hung between it, shining with a captivating brilliance in the sunlight.
The necklace was neither long nor short, hanging perfectly at her collarbone, accentuating her diverse allure.
With a V-shaped neckline, her undulating and voluptuous bosom was partially exposed, even more formidable and full of vitality under the tight wrap of the dress, resembling two beasts trapped in a cage, roaring to break free.
Wang Ye couldn't help but marvel. Compared to Chu Qingyi's assets, these were excessively fierce. Most men would likely be unable to conquer them.
Huh?
Why does Ruanruan seem... not to be wearing an undergarment?
Ordinary women, after reaching adulthood, would sew their own undergarments under their mother's guidance. They were private items that covered their breasts. Adult women would even use specially designed undergarments as a way to express their affection, enhancing marital relationships.
But at this moment, Ruanruan...
Two full and prominent bulges were clearly visible in the centre of her bosom, resembling jade beads. They stood upright, even more conspicuous under the restraint of her dress.
Between her legs, the dress outlined a distinct triangular region, like a small hill rising. Upon closer inspection, one might even notice an unknown liquid moistening the area, darker in colour than the surroundings.
Looking at her current appearance, her meticulously arranged hair was now casually scattered, even somewhat messy, reaching her waist.
Her captivating foxy face displayed two suspicious blushes, seemingly the result of unsubsided passion. Even her beautiful eyes shimmered like rippling waves, revealing a strong sense of spring, emanating an indescribable soft and seductive charm.
Although Wang Ye had never engaged in sexual activities with a woman, he could easily guess what Ruanruan had experienced moments ago, considering how she had repeatedly teased him these past few days. He suddenly had a plan in mind.
"Um... Madam, I really want... I really want to devour you..."
Wang Ye feigned a state of being mesmerized by her seduction technique, his eyes hazy as he gazed foolishly at her, murmuring softly.
Unaware of the trickery, Ruanruan thought her charm had reached a new level. She took pride in herself while preparing to awaken Wang Ye, fearing he might truly do something disrespectful to her.
Although she often amused herself by flirting with the young men in the office, it was always just for fun and never led to any serious intentions. Besides, if she had any ill intentions, her husband would not easily overlook them.
Therefore, whenever she saw these young boys blushing with embarrassment, her little scheme was satisfied, and she would promptly withdraw her charm to bring them back to their senses.
"I heard that there have been frequent cases of male deaths in the Cui Xian Tower lately. The coroners from the government did not find any fatal wounds after examining the bodies, and there are many suspicions about the cause of death, possibly involving demonic beasts. Currently, the other Shadow Blades are occupied with their own missions, so I'm assigning this case to you."
As usual, Ruanruan stopped using her charm after achieving her goal. Her words returned to normal, and even her coquettish demeanour diminished. She succinctly explained the task at hand.
Xu Zhengfeng, as the Chief Officer, not only had to deal with various administrative tasks but also represented the office in meetings. Therefore, the responsibility of assigning tasks fell to Ruanruan, who would assign the cases to the available Shadow Blades upon receiving reports.
Having said that, Ruanruan didn't linger and turned to walk back into the house.
But before she could take a few steps, a strong hand forcefully pulled her back.
Caught off guard, Ruanruan was still bewildered by the situation when she was abruptly pulled back, and the momentum caused her to stumble backward.
With a dazed expression, Ruanruan had yet to understand the situation before she fell into the arms of Wang Ye behind her.
"My lady... You look truly beautiful..."
A magnetic voice murmured in her ear as warm breath brushed against her earlobe. She involuntarily closed her eyes, feeling a slight electric current coursing through her body, causing her to tremble uncontrollably, with every hair on her body standing on end.
Ruanruan's already sensitive body instantly reacted, and a surge of heat flowed from her lower region.
At the age of thirty, one becomes a wolf, and at forty, a tiger. Ruanruan's body was naturally sensitive, and since experiencing intimate relations, her desires had only grown stronger. Coupled with her practice of charm techniques, she had become addicted to affairs between men and women. If it weren't for Xu Zhengfeng's exceptional skills in bed, she might truly have succumbed to her loneliness and sought out new men.
This sensitivity made Ruanruan's body even more vulnerable to teasing. Once a man started to provoke her, it was like a flood that couldn't be contained. Furthermore, she had engaged in several encounters with Xu Zhengfeng earlier in the morning. Just when she was getting into the mood, she received an unexpected notification about an urgent case. The intense passion between the couple was suddenly doused, leaving her frustrated. Although Ruanruan wanted to continue, Xu Zhengfeng, who always valued official matters, left her on the bed and prepared to tidy himself up and leave. Even her secret use of charm had no effect, so she had no choice but to give up reluctantly.
Feeling unsatisfied, Ruanruan was in a melancholic state. Rarely lacking a desire to stay in bed, she woke up early and prepared to go out for some fresh air. Unexpectedly, she ran into Wang Ye on the way, leading to the previous scene.
"My lady... I want... I want you..."
Intentionally swallowing a mouthful of saliva near her ear, Wang Ye then slightly parted his thin lips and gently bit her delicate earlobe.
Ruanruan couldn't withstand such stimulation. Her gaze gradually became hazy, and desire sparked in her eyes. Her lower body became even more aroused, and her nectar flowed. The unsatisfied desire from earlier reignited, spreading through every cell in her body.
Wang Ye sensed her body growing weak and instinctively leaned on him. A triumphant smirk appeared on his lips.
Finally, this woman experienced what it was like to be flirted with.
"Ruanruan, you're always teasing Young Master Wang. When will you change your ways?"
Just as Ruanruan was lost in a trance of desire, a commanding and upright voice suddenly sounded, as if thunder exploded in her ears.
The person who arrived was none other than Xu Zhengfeng, the head of the Ministry of Justice.
He had heard about his wife's habit of teasing the younger colleagues in the office when she had nothing to do, and he had even witnessed it a few times. However, knowing Ruanruan's playful nature, he never took it to heart and even teased her about it.
So, when he saw her intimately involved with Wang Ye, he thought it was just another one of Ruanruan's new tricks. Along with his helplessness, he was also afraid that Wang Ye might not be able to handle the situation and embarrass himself. Thus, he spoke up to awaken Ruanruan.
"Please don't take it to heart, Young Master Wang. It's just the way the ladies are, it was only a joke."
Afraid that she might make Xu Zhengfeng angry, Ruanruan quickly apologized to Wang Ye, gesturing for him not to take it seriously.
"I dare not be upset. Being teased by a woman like Mrs. Xu is truly an honour for me."
Wang Ye arched his fist in Xu Zhengfeng's direction, his face full of smiles. He didn't resemble his earlier appearance when his desires had disturbed his rationality. He was clearly sober now!
Ruanruan immediately realized that the rascal had been pretending all along; he hadn't been affected by any enchantment!
Understanding the truth of the situation, Ruanruan glanced at him with a hint of reproach in her eyes.
"Husband, I was just bored and wanted to test if there was any progress in my enchantment techniques with Young Master Wang. It's not that serious," Ruanruan slowly approached Xu Zhengfeng, her graceful steps filled with charm. "Moreover, Young Master Wang is so magnanimous. I believe he wouldn't bother with a little woman like me, right, Young Master Wang?"
Sensing the threatening gaze directed at him by Ruanruan, Wang Ye could only laugh and nod repeatedly. He wouldn't be foolish enough to expose everything that had just happened. If Xu Zhengfeng learned that his wife not only had failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice, but also got taken advantage of by a junior, he would feel as if a green field covered his head. In a fit of anger, Xu Zhengfeng might even drive him out of the Ministry of Justice.
"You… even if Young Master Wang doesn't mind, you should still change this bad habit of yours. Otherwise, one day, you'll scare away everyone in the Ministry of Justice," Xu Zhengfeng, with his typical loving husband demeanour, though his words were unrelenting, the overflowing affection in his eyes said it all.
"Look at how you're talking. I can still be considered charming. How come from with your words, it sounds like I'm a terrifying old lady?" Ruanruan coquettishly complained, her angry appearance resembling that of a young girl who had just fallen in love.
The couple was completely engrossed in their own world, paying no attention to the presence of Wang Ye.
Sensible Wang Ye didn't want to play the role of a third wheel, so after bowing to Xu Zhengfeng, he left on his own.
The scene of the couple's affectionate display reminded him involuntarily of Chu Qingyi, her smile and affectionate gaze as she looked at him.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye's face was filled with a happy smile, and even his steps became much lighter.
"Cui Xian Building, huh... That really is a magical place..."
