Chapter 646 - Lady Xuan

Huangfu Fengchen was lounging on his chair in his study, holding a yellow book. He was staring at the book, but his mind was elsewhere. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Just then, someone knocked urgently on his door.

“Come in,” Huangfu Fengchen replied and stood up. He had a bad feeling.

The one who entered was the strongest youth of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Yu. Huangfu Yu was panting as he stammered, “Patriarch! Someone brought word that Lady Xuan was calling for you, so I ran here immediately ...”

Huangfu Fengchen frowned when he heard who it was, but he soon calmed down. “I understand.”

He then walked past Huangfu Yu and approached the place where “Lady Xuan” was waiting. Once he left, Huangfu Yu’s stare turned cold.

“Huangfu Fengchen, let me see how haughty you can be with Lady Xuan’s arrival!”

Huangfu Yu revealed a lecherous expression when he recalled Ladu Xuan. “Lady Xuan from the main branch family is very pretty. Who in the Divine Martial Empire can compare to her? She’s not young anymore, but she showed some interest in me ...”

Huangfu Fengchen entered a beautiful courtyard. A lake with an island was in the center. There was a house in the middle of the island, and it was the most luxurious one they had in the Huangfu family. It was where Huangfu Fengchen used to live with his wife, but ever since Lady Xuan had appeared, Huangfu Fengchen had moved out and conceded the residence to her.

Like a swallow, he glided effortlessly across the clear lake and entered the house. He quietly made his way through the hallways and stopped in front of an elegant room.

The sound of running water could be heard from inside.

“Lady Xuan, it’s me, Huangfu Fengchen. May I know your purpose for summoning me?”

It was unheard of for someone to “summon” Huangfu Fengchen. Even the Martial Overlord didn't have the right to do that.

“Come in ...” A beguiling voice came from inside the room. A strange numbing sensation ran through Huangfu Fengchen’s body. Lady Xuan was not an easy opponent.

Huangfu Fengchen hesitated. There’s the sound of running water. I hope she’s not taking a bath in the middle of the day.

He opened the door lightly and entered. It was an elegant room with traditional decorations. The wooden furniture was placed neatly. This was where his wife used to live, so he was familiar with the place. There was a white, translucent curtain between the door and the room, but it was bright enough that Huangfu Fengchen could see through it.

Huangfu Fengchen noticed that something was wrong as soon as he entered the room. It was too fragrant, and he couldn’t dispel it from his nostrils no matter how hard he tried.

In the middle of the room was a large, wooden tub. Because of the white curtain, Huangfu Fengchen couldn’t get a good look, but he knew Lady Xuan was inside it. The overpowering fragrance came from her.

Huangfu Fengchen knew how dangerous she was.

He immediately turned back and stammered, “Lady Xuan! I didn’t know you were bathing! Please forgive me! I will leave now.”

He hastened his steps to exit the room.

“Wait ...” A voice came from inside the tub.

“Do you have any orders?” Huangfu Fengchen had a bad feeling.

“Don’t ... Don’t you want to come in?” Her voice penetrated deep into his bones.

Huangfu Fengchen wasn’t a virgin, so he knew what she meant. Lady Xuan was pretty and looked like she was in her twenties, but she was actually older than him.

Huangfu Fengchen knew what she wanted; her behavior was clear enough. He was a handsome man and Lady Xuan wanted him.

She was in the bathtub waiting for him.

Huangfu Fengchen was aware that the Huangfu family would be more prosperous if he hooked up with her.

Lady Xuan was very influential, to the point that even Huangfu Fengchen couldn’t decline her most of the time.

She also never expected him to refuse.

Huangfu Fengchen had a wife, and he was adamant on being loyal even if it meant facing unforeseen problems. “Lady Xuan, you must be toying with me. You are of noble status while I’m only the insignificant branch head. I would never dare to sully you. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now.”

Huangfu Fengchen never took another glance into the room.

Lady Xuan remained quiet.

Huangfu Fengchen became nervous when a dangerous aura wrapped around him. He even started trembling a little. He hadn’t felt this weak ever since he reached the Third Earthly Martial Stage.

“Fine. Leave.” Lady Xuan’s voice was no longer beguiling but instead cold. Huangfu Fengchen knew he was in trouble. Lady Xuan was a noble, and it was an insult to turn down her advances.

There was nothing else he could do. He readied himself as he closed the door lightly and left.

“Huangfu Fengchen ... Good ... I was still trying to find a reason to deal with you, but to think you dare to humiliate me. Don’t blame me for what happens next ...”

Lady Xuan revealed a cold smile as she sat in her bathtub.

“Huangfu Yu, enter,” she suddenly said out loud.

Huangfu Yu had been eavesdropping outside and was shocked. He nervously entered the room and stared at Lady Xuan without any reservation.

Lady Xuan was pleased with his reaction, and her voice changed back. “Huangfu Yu, do you think I’m pretty?”

“Yes! Lady Xuan, you are the most beautiful person I’ve ever met! No one is as pretty as you! I’ve never seen anyone as bewitching as you!” Huangfu Yu was so nervous that he stammered a lot.

Lady Xuan’s melodious laugh rang out from inside the bathtub, causing Huangfu Yu to get bewitched by her.

“Huangfu Yu, do you want to become the patriarch of the Huangfu family?” Lady Xuan suddenly asked.

“Pa ... Patriarch?” Huangfu Yu was so stunned that he thought he had misheard.

“Let me ask you again. Do you wish to be the patriarch of the Huangfu family?”

Huangfu Yu forced himself to calm down.

Lady Xuan is from the main branch, and she’s stronger than Huangfu Fengchen. She could easily kill him and make me into the patriarch. Huangfu Fengchen looked weird just now, so he must’ve angered her. This is a good chance! Huangfu Fengchen, you are dead!

Huangfu Yu was excited. “La ... Lady Xuan! I want to become the patriarch! Can you turn me into one?”

Lady Xuan chuckled. “Of course I can. Come, enter the bathtub, and I will make a patriarch out of you ...”
