The next day.
Su Xuení had become increasingly proficient in her role as a maid. Previously shy and awkward, she now performed her duties with eagerness and skill, serving tea, delivering water, massaging shoulders, and kneading legs without hesitation.
In private, she even learned techniques from other maids, showing significant improvement.
In the afternoon, Lin Qi'an was lounging in a chair, basking in the sunlight. He didn't need to actively cultivate or seclude himself for decades like others.
The natural spiritual energy of heaven and earth would come to him effortlessly. With all seventy-two spiritual orifices open, this was the so-called Dao Physique!
"Your Highness, are you comfortable?" Su Xuení, dressed in a moon-white long dress, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure, stood behind Lin Qi'an, massaging his shoulders.
Her slender hands felt incredibly soothing, accompanied by a faint fragrance of a young maiden.
"Very comfortable, you've improved a lot."
It wasn't just comfortable; it was an exquisite enjoyment! If it were the typical protagonist, the female lead might be in danger of being coveted by a villain, requiring the hero to save her and tenderly care for her.
After countless trials and tribulations, they would finally be together. Isn't that exhausting?
"By the way, Your Highness, a sister of mine wishes to see you," Su Xuení said softly.
"Who?"
"Saintess Zi Lianyou of Ziyou Holy Land. She seems to have a past with Ling Tian and is here to plead for him."
Lin Qi'an's interest was piqued. He had been pondering how to use the "Soul Devouring Worm" against him, and it seemed this saintess could be useful.
"If you don't want to see her, I can refuse her request," Su Xuení suggested.
Lin Qi'an raised an eyebrow, 'I haven't even spoken yet, and you're already assuming I'll refuse? Is this girl's possessiveness acting up?'
Su Xuení naturally didn't want any other women getting close to the Prince. More women meant more rivals. The first to taste the benefits of the Yang Dragon Dao Physique had to be her, Su Xuení!
"I have nothing better to do, bring her over."
"Ah... you really want to see her, Your Highness."
"What?"
"Nothing, it's just that Ling Tian's crimes are unforgivable, and he holds a grudge against you. There's no need to listen to her pleas."
Lin Qi'an almost laughed out loud. According to the usual plot, you should be Ling Tian's female lead, but now you find him repulsive. Women change so quickly.
He reached out and slapped Su Xuení on the buttocks. Even through her dress, he could feel the elasticity of her flesh. "Go and fetch her, or you'll be punished."
"Yes..." Despite being teased, Su Xuení showed no sign of displeasure, only a blush of shyness on her face.
Outside the courtyard.
Zi Lianyou waited anxiously and finally saw Su Xuení coming out. "Sister Xuení! Did the Prince agree?"
"Thanks to my persuasion, he agreed." Su Xuení smiled slightly.
"Sister Xuení, you're wonderful!" Zi Lianyou happily grabbed Su Xuení's wrist and whispered, "Sister, you never used to be interested in men. Why are you now willing to serve the Prince?"
In the past, Zi Lianyou had been jealous of Su Xuení's beauty, outstanding temperament, and ethereal aura, making her the dream goddess of countless men.
But now, she didn't envy her at all, for Su Xuení had become a gilded cage bird, serving the Prince, perhaps never to find her true love again.
"Don't worry about it... I have my reasons." Su Xuení certainly wouldn't share the secret of the Yang Dragon Dao Physique. Not even with her closest sister, let alone anyone else!
They walked into a courtyard filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. Through the stone archway, Zi Lianyou saw Lin Qi'an reclining on a chair. Her beautiful eyes widened in shock.
Dao aura swirling, golden dragons circling...
'Wait, why can I see such visions? This... this is the legendary… Yang Dragon Dao Physique!'
In ancient times, the feats of the Yang Dragon Emperor were still sung by people today. He had a harem of three thousand, all goddesses of their time.
The most outrageous story was that the Yang Dragon Emperor fell for a woman selling tofu in the city, known as the Tofu Beauty. Later, this woman, who had no cultivation talent, became a quasi-Saint, surpassing countless prodigies!
The Prince has such a physique...
Zi Lian You suddenly turned to look at Su Xuení, her heart filled with a terrifying realization. Could Sister Xuení see these visions too? If so, her willingness to serve the Prince made perfect sense! Which woman wouldn't be tempted by this?
"What's wrong, Lianyou?"
"Nothing..." Zi Lian You forcibly calmed her pounding heart.
Today, despite discovering the Prince's astonishing secret, she couldn't forget her purpose. If only she could touch this legendary physique... No, no! She was here to plead for Brother Ling!
"Ziyou Holy Land's Zi Lianyou greets the Prince."
"No need for formalities." Lin Qi'an looked at the girl in the purple dress with a smile. Unexpectedly, she was also a woman with purple luck!
