Chapter 139
They led her to the Red Mansion, which was brightly lit that night. The hall was packed with people, all staring at the person on the stage with infatuated expressions.
As soon as she entered, she noticed a burning gaze fixed on her, and the source of that gaze was the stage.
She was seated, and Hongyun stood behind her to protect her safety.
The man on stage had his face half-covered, revealing only the lower half of his face. Just a touch of red lipstick was enough to make people lose their senses.
He was dressed extremely provocatively, with large swathes of skin exposed. His waist was so white and slender that it seemed as if it would break with a gentle twist. The silk draped over his body barely covered his vital parts. With each dance move, the thin veils covering his body would slide down with the movement, leaving much to the imagination.
No one spoke in the audience; only the music filled the air, and everyone stared blankly, their eyes fixed on the screen.
After the dance, the madam entered the stage, stood beside the man, and said with a beaming smile:
"The dance performance is over. Were you satisfied, esteemed guests?"
"Satisfied!! Let's get started! Stop dawdling!!"
"I'll pay any amount of silver! As long as Young Master Yin spends one night with me!!"
The crowd was excited, staring at the man on the stage like hungry wolves, staring at the large expanse of his exposed skin.
The madam's face beamed with joy, and she hurriedly said, "Oh dear, our Young Master Yin isn't someone you can buy with money. The choice is in his hands. Whoever he chooses will have the chance to spend a night with Young Master Yin!"
"Would all of you like to join us?!"
"join!!"
"Young Master Yin, choose me! I'm strong, healthy, and in excellent condition! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!!"
"Choose me! I'm gentle and considerate, I promise I won't tire you out!!"
"Pick me! Pick me!!"
The atmosphere was electric, with everyone vying to get the attention of the person on stage.
Nalan Jingwen watched this scene calmly, showing little interest.
It's really childish.
"Then let our young master Yin choose the woman he likes!"
The man on the stage slightly curved his red lips and glanced at the crowd below, his eyes adding to his allure.
His jade-like fingertips moved slowly, and everyone held their breath, swallowing hard as they watched his movements.
After passing one person after another, my fingertip stopped in one direction.
"Would this young lady be willing to spend the spring night with me?"
Everyone looked in that direction, their expressions angry, wanting to see who was so lucky.
The woman who was pointed at stared blankly, her face flushed red with excitement, and her finger trembled as she pointed at herself.
"me?"
The man nodded. "Would you be willing, Miss?"
"Yes, yes!!"
The woman nodded frantically, as if afraid he would change his mind. She quickly went up on stage and stood next to him, reaching out to put her arm around his waist, but he subtly avoided her.
Nalan Jingwen remained expressionless, calmly observing the scene unfolding before him, finding it utterly uninteresting.
She stood up and prepared to walk outside; the air here was just too stuffy.
Although the man on the stage was smiling, he kept an eye on Nalan Jingwen out of the corner of his eye. When he saw her get up and leave, he did not show any infatuation because of her, nor did he compete for her like the others below the stage.
His eyes darkened slightly, and he exuded a dangerous aura.
The madam standing to the side sensed his displeasure and instinctively wanted to move away, cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
He spoke up promptly, "Miss in red, please wait a moment."
Nalan Jingwen was stopped by the guards at the door. His expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way!"
"Miss, please leave."
Sensing the oppressive atmosphere around him, the madam spoke again, "Miss, please wait a moment. Would you be willing to come up on stage?"
Everyone looked over again, pondering what the madam meant.
Nalan Jingwen turned around, gave the people on the stage a mocking smile, but his eyes were fixed on the man.
She said, word by word, "I don't want to."
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on the man's lips vanished, his face instantly darkened, his eyes flashed with coldness, and his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched as if he were trying his best to suppress something.
The madam's legs trembled, and even the woman on stage sensed something unusual.
After Nalan Jing heard what was said, she ignored the gaze that seemed to pierce through her and left without lingering for a moment. These people couldn't stop her and were easily dealt with by Hongyun.
She really didn't like this kind of probing tactic, and didn't want to interfere; he could do whatever he wanted.
She had only come to see what he was up to this time, but the result was truly disappointing.
She returned to the inn and went to sleep. After traveling for so many days, she was exhausted and soon fell asleep.
In her sleep, she felt a little uncomfortable, as if something was licking her face. She slowly opened her eyes, but everything in front of her was pitch black.
It looked as if a black cloth was covering their eyes, and their hands and feet were bound.
She quickly realized what was going on, but remained calm and composed, as if she had known all along.
"Nalan Yin, have you had enough fun?"
A low chuckle escaped the man's lips as he sat on the woman, reaching out to stroke her slightly disheveled long hair, then moving from her cheek to her collarbone and chest.
"How did my elder sister know it was me?"
He stuck out his tongue and gently licked Nalan Jingwen's face, like a dog licking its beloved toy, then buried his face in her neck, took a deep breath, and sighed.
"Your Majesty smells so good."
Nalan Jingwen felt the wetness on his face, but remained expressionless, and said, "Release me."
Nalan Yin rubbed her cheek against her chest, chuckling softly, "I don't want to let go. Will you stay here with me, Imperial Sister?"
"How long are you going to make trouble?"
“I’m not making a fuss, I’m serious. Everything I said to my elder sister was serious.”
"No fuss? Wasn't tonight's whole thing just nonsense?"
The man on top of him seemed to catch his breath at the mention of this. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you stop me tonight, my elder sister? Did you really want to watch me be taken by another woman?"
"Does my elder sister really not care about me at all?"
Nalan Jingwen remained indifferent and retorted, "You chose this person yourself, so he is the one you like. Why should I stop you?"
Nalan Yin gripped her hand tightly, as if she were trying her best to suppress something.
"What if the woman I choose is a wicked person? Wouldn't you stop me then?"
"Yes."
Nalan Yin fell silent and stopped speaking. In the quiet space, Nalan Jingwen could hear his rapid breathing and fast heartbeat.
After a while, he lay his whole body on top of her, chuckling softly, his laughter tinged with madness.
"My elder sister is truly heartless."
Nalan Jingwen frowned. Only then did she realize that the person on her body was burning hot, which was extremely abnormal.
"Release me first."
Nalan Yin refused, but instead removed the blindfold from her eyes.
What came into view was an almost naked, snow-white and smooth body, with only a few pieces of cloth loosely covering her.
His skin was pale and bloodless, but his face was flushed with an unnatural redness, and his eyes shone with a sickness and madness she had never seen before.
