But facing “The Number One Bed in the World,” Ye Fan didn’t mind giving it a try!
“Alright then!”
With a devilishly charming smile, Ye Fan wrapped his arms around Chu Lanwei, lightly tapped his ankle on the ground, and his body shot out dozens of meters away, landing precisely on a huge rock amidst the wildflowers!
“Young Master Ye, what are the conditions to be your woman?” As Chu Lanwei spoke seductively, the sleeve of her dress slipped down her shoulder, revealing her fair collarbone and half of a smooth shoulder.
With alluring eyes, a delicate figure, plus the twisting slender waist under the sheer dress… combined with her red lips and white teeth in a ready-to-taste pose, Chu Lanwei was one beckoning gesture away from hooking Ye Fan’s soul completely!
Such temptation was lethal for a man!
Purity of a young girl, the charm of maturity, plus desire…
To say Ye Fan wasn’t moved would be a lie!
“Princess Consort, haven’t we strayed from the topic? Patriarch Xia said you came to Flower Capital to seek my treatment. Let me take your pulse first!” Although Ye Fan’s heart was agitated, with the Inheritance’s suppression, everything was still within a controllable range.
They say beautiful women are a source of trouble!
As “The Number One Bed in the World,” Chu Lanwei indeed held an absolute allure over thousands of men, but Ye Fan still needed to clarify what exactly she came for!
If it was just for treatment, Chu Lanwei wouldn’t have made such a huge sacrifice.
Ever since he stepped into the Xia Family’s courtyard, Chu Lanwei had been constantly displaying her charm!
Does she really think I’m a man who acts solely based on desire?
While speaking, Ye Fan grabbed Chu Lanwei’s wrist, his powerful Perception seeping into her skin, carefully feeling her pulse and the Vitality Force within her body!
Hmm?
All the data is too normal!
Furthermore, Ye Fan even discovered a very intense concentration of Vitality Force in Chu Lanwei’s body!
That kind of Vitality Force, different from what’s inside a normal creature, was at least ten times denser… Ye Fan merely touched it and felt that Vitality Force enter his body through his arm.
In an instant, Ye Fan felt as though he had become years younger!
Is it really so extraordinary?
Is the Princess Consort, like Qiu Wan, also harboring a special physique within her body?
One that can extend life?
With Devil’s Pupil active, Ye Fan sensed her again, and other than that special bundle of Vitality Force, he truly found no other ailment in Chu Lanwei’s body.
“Young Master Ye, are you done looking? You’ve hurt me!”
Chu Lanwei coquettishly complained, her body swaying as if the earth itself shook.
Ye Fan couldn’t help but gasp!
This really isn’t my fault, Chu Lanwei is just too enchanting!
Every frown and smile carries immense allure!
“Princess Consort, I’ve just checked, and there’s nothing wrong with your health. Why would you need any treatment?” Ye Fan looked at Chu Lanwei with a half-smile, already guessing that Chu Lanwei’s adventure to the Flower Capital to find him, and even going so far as to livestream their fooling around, likely meant she was seeking a cure not for a physical ailment, but for an ailment of the heart!
Because Chu Lanwei’s late husband, Zhao Cheng, a prince of the Great Xia Royal Family, had unexpectedly perished during an outing just three years after their marriage.
Although the news from the outside world was that it was a sudden heart attack, Tianji Pavilion had already relayed a message that the prince’s death was not due to illness, but assassination!
Moreover, it wasn’t just Prince Zhao Cheng who was assassinated, his children born from his former wife, both sons and daughters, had been successively meeting their ends over the years.
Simply put, other than Chu Lanwei, the legitimate lineage of Zhao Cheng has been completely wiped out, leaving no one behind.
Annihilated!
Over the past few years, Chu Lanwei had been secretly investigating the truth behind these incidents, seeking to avenge her late husband… But as a vulnerable woman, despite having the support of Zhao Cheng’s old subordinates, she was limited in what she could do as time passed and support waned!
So, did Chu Lanwei want to enlist me to avenge her late husband?
Chu Lanwei lifted her head from Ye Fan’s embrace and looked at him with a hint of melancholy, “Young Master Ye, you are so clever, you must already know why I came to Flower Capital to find you, right?”
Sometimes, being too beautiful and too famous is not a good thing for a woman!
Take Chu Lanwei, for instance, known as ‘The Number One Bed in the World,’ countless men dreamed of climbing into her bed!
Nobles, Martial Arts Experts, even common street soldiers…
While Zhao Cheng was alive, protected by him as a prince, Chu Lanwei could live in peace.
But after Zhao Cheng’s death, Chu Lanwei was like a dazzling treasure that everyone wanted to possess and defile.
Against ordinary riffraff and the Princess Consort’s capable old subordinates, she could easily deal with them, what with her status still intact.
But she was powerless against high-ranking big shots, like Prince Jin, revered as the greatest Virtuous King in Great Xia. His influence in Great Xia was tremendous, considered by the outside world as a representation of the royal family’s iron-blooded hawkish faction, even more sharply in focus than the current ruler.
Thus, Chu Lanwei needed to find a man she could rely on! Her gaze soon settled on Ye Fan, who had seemed foolish five years earlier. From his activities at the Southwest Border to the rumors circulating in the Xuanwu Region, Chu Lanwei was convinced that, even if Ye Fan was in a state of folly, he would one day rise again as a peerless genius.
“This Princess Consort flatters me too much. This is the first time we’ve met, how could I understand what the Princess Consort is thinking?” Seeing that Chu Lanwei wanted to draw closer again, Ye Fan involuntarily took two steps back, maintaining a distance between them.
Alas!
Chu Lanwei cast a resentful glance at Ye Fan, this little nemesis… was she really expected to speak first?
Chu Lanwei was not simply a trophy wife to have been married to Prince Zhao Cheng. She was very clear on one fact: in this contest with Ye Fan, whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage.
But under the current circumstances, Chu Lanwei had no choice but to open her mouth.
“Young Master Ye, Xiao Lan has come to ask you to seek revenge for the Zhao family… Xiao Lan is willing to serve you like an ox or horse!” After sighing deeply, Chu Lanwei bowed solemnly to Ye Fan and spoke.
Ye Fan smiled faintly. So, Chu Lanwei had finally lowered her head?
But she seemed to think that her beauty alone was sufficient to compel him to offend those in Capital, which greatly underestimated him.
Ye Fan remained silent, just waiting quietly.
With no other option, Chu Lanwei continued, this little nemesis of hers, truly wouldn’t act without a guarantee!
“As a condition, Xiao Lan is willing to be your woman! Moreover, I have something left by Zhao Cheng, a treasure I want to give to you! And thirdly,” Chu Lanwei paused, “should Young Master Ye agree to help, all the forces and old subordinates previously under Zhao Cheng in Great Xia will be at your disposal…”
Despite feeling somewhat bashful, Chu Lanwei articulated the three conditions clearly and handed a wooden box to Ye Fan.
Upon opening it, Ye Fan’s eyes sharpened instantly, “A Heavenly Palace Map Fragment?”
So Zhao Cheng also had a piece of the Immortal Palace map, and it was bigger than any Ye Fan had previously acquired!
It appeared that the Heavenly Palace Map Fragment owned by the Ye Family was no secret after all. The major families of Great Xia were probably all collecting these fragments!
Just the map fragment alone was enough to warrant Ye Fan’s action. Yet, he didn’t rush to agree, “But I heard that the prince died from a heart attack, so why talk of revenge?”
Pouting at Ye Fan, Chu Lanwei chided, “Young Master Ye, you really are wicked! Knowing everything already, you just wait for others to say it… Zhao Cheng didn’t die from a sudden heart attack; he was assassinated! And the one who assassinated Zhao Cheng was none other than his own brother, known as the Virtuous King, Prince Jin… Furthermore, Young Master Ye might not be aware that Prince Jin is the mastermind behind the extermination of the Ye Family. Knowing this, would Young Master Ye be willing to help?”
