Chapter 136 The Purpose of the Tide Demon
Chapter 136 The Purpose of the Tide Demon
"Madam has been so kind in inviting me, and I would also like to ask her for clarification."
Ying Jing made no attempt to conceal his admiration, but his expression remained calm and indifferent.
Ying Jing didn't mind appreciating the beautiful scenery presented by Lady Mingzhu for a while longer.
But she was, after all, the Lady of a nation. It was one thing for her to invite foreign envoys to the palace for a private meeting, but to dress so alluringly and seductively, as if deliberately trying to seduce them, meant that her purpose was certainly not simple.
Important matters come first!
Before figuring out Lady Mingzhu's true intentions, Ying Jing had little interest in engaging in any pretense with her.
Lady Mingzhu's charming smile faltered slightly. Beautiful women are usually very confident in their own charm, and Lady Mingzhu was even more so, as she was able to manipulate the King of Han at will.
But today, she deliberately created this ambiguous atmosphere and spent a lot of time and effort dressing herself up in such a sexy way, as if all her efforts had been completely wasted.
"Ji Wuye and the Straw-Cloaked Guest are both good-for-nothings. Isn't it said that Lord Changxin is a womanizer?"
Ying Jing's complete disregard for her charm inevitably caused Lady Mingzhu some frustration.
but……
This setback, on the contrary, fueled her competitive spirit.
"I am truly honored that Lord Changxin has accepted the invitation. Why rush to talk about those unhappy things?"
Lady Mingzhu had a perfect figure, almost as tall as Ying Jing, and her long, beautiful legs moved to press against Ying Jing's side.
"How about we do something fun first?"
She picked up the wine glass on the table, poured herself a full glass, and took a small sip.
Strands of wine stains ran down her red lips, down her slender, white neck, and onto her delicate, jade-like collarbone.
With a slight sway, two drops of wine slid down her collarbone, seeping into her full, rounded breasts before disappearing without a trace. Only her thin gauze dress seemed to have become even thinner.
Such a magnificent scene and such warm hospitality are simply irresistible!
In particular, Lady Mingzhu now presented the wine cup she had just drunk from to Ying Jing with both hands.
Her captivating, narrow eyes shimmered with moisture, overflowing with springtime passion, and her exquisite, alluring face was adorned with a smile that could steal one's heart.
"If you don't react to this, you're not a man!"
Madam Mingzhu's heart was full of malice!
She believed she had done her best, even secretly using her inner energy to enhance the allure of the incense.
"You stole my shipment?"
A hint of fervor did indeed rise in Ying Jing's eyes, but he did not reach out to take the wine cup, and the words he spoke were rather cold.
Lady Mingzhu's charm is indeed extraordinary, but Lord Changxin has been indulging in plenty of rich food these days, so it's not enough to cause him to neglect his important business.
A hint of astonishment appeared on her alluring and beautiful face, and Madam Mingzhu felt even more defeated.
She had tried everything she could, but she still failed?
They were so close that she could clearly feel the heat emanating from Ying Jing and the warmth from his breath.
But how can such cold words come out of those warm mouths?
"What do you mean by that, Lord Changxin? I am but a weak woman, how dare I touch your things?"
The situation was quite different from what she had expected, which left Madam Mingzhu somewhat at a loss.
Ying Jing remained unfazed: "Can the Azure Sea Tide Demoness of the Night really be considered a weak woman?"
Pfft!
Suddenly, Lady Mingzhu knelt down in front of Ying Jing, her two long, beautiful legs slanted to the side, her rounded calves glistening dazzlingly in the dim light.
Her beautiful eyes were misty with tears, and her gorgeous face was full of sorrow: "I dare not deceive Lord Changxin. This was all the General's intention. I had no involvement."
Ying Jing almost burst out laughing at this woman!
He only mentioned the Azure Sea Tide Demoness, so he simply turned the tables and made Ji Wuye take the blame, right?
Considering Madam Mingzhu's actions, which showed absolutely no hesitation, she had probably already prepared to sell Ji Wuye.
"Do you think Ji Wuye is stupid, or do you think I'm foolish and can be easily fooled?"
Lady Mingzhu remained defiant: "At most, I only have some influence in the Korean harem. Even if I wanted to, I would not be able to. I am indeed a great general..."
Ying Jing interrupted her rambling with a cold laugh; he had no patience to listen to this woman's nonsense.
"If you don't have that ability, what about your cousin?"
"Or do I need to be more specific? Your cousin, Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei."
Madam Mingzhu could no longer maintain her composure.
Her relationship with Bai Yifei was a complete secret, unknown even to Ji Wuye and the King of Han.
I never imagined that Lord Changxin would even know this?
However, it is no longer important how Changxin-jun found out about this secret. The key is how to make him not pursue the matter of that shipment and how to achieve her goal.
Madam Mingzhu slowly stood up, no longer trying to display any alluring charm.
Although she was still only draped in a thin veil, she inexplicably exuded an air of elegance and nobility.
“Since Lord Changxin knows about the relationship between my cousin and me, he should understand that we are a more suitable partner than Ji Wuye.”
With her red lips slightly parted, Madam Mingzhu's voice was still alluring, but it had lost some of its charm.
Now that she's laid her cards on the table, she no longer needs to pretend or suppress her feelings.
Besides, since the alluring personality approach doesn't work, maybe Changxin just likes this kind of pretentious attitude?
"They robbed my goods, and then they talk about cooperation?"
Ying Jing scoffed, "Although Lady Mingzhu is beautiful, she shouldn't be too optimistic."
Lady Mingzhu's eyes lit up immediately: "Does Lord Changxin also think I am beautiful?"
Ying Jing: "..."
Let's get down to business, don't go off-topic!
"Hasn't the General already made up for Lord Changxin's losses?"
Lady Mingzhu seemed to see a glimmer of hope in her seduction, and her expression became even more dignified, but her jade-like hands had already hooked around Ying Jing's neck.
"If Lord Changxin is still not satisfied, we can make some further compensation."
Her dignified expression was juxtaposed with alluring gestures, combining nobility with seduction.
It must be said that no one can match the skill of Madam Mingzhu, such a peerless beauty, in this regard.
"Ji Wuye has compensated me with 100,000 gold coins. If you can also offer 100,000 gold coins, I will not pursue this matter further."
The compensation of 100,000 gold coins was not a problem, but Lady Mingzhu was clearly not satisfied with just letting the matter drop.
Wouldn't that have been a waste of time?
The soft, rounded figure sat down on Ying Jing's lap, sitting upright with a dignified and serious expression.
But her head was almost buried in Ying Jing's chest, as if she were listening to his heartbeat.
"Does Lord Changxin really believe that Ji Wuye is of one mind with you?"
"Do you know that the General has his eye on the Baiyue treasure that the Net is currently transporting?"
