Indulging in Carnal Desire
chapter-235

“Ha?” Tuoba Hui showed a bewildered expression, “King Brother, what are you looking at this servant girl for?”

“She…” Hu Luoyan immediately opened his mouth, just about to reveal Chu Jiao’s real identity to his brother. However, upon seeing Chu Jiao lift her head and cast him a deadly glare, he shut his mouth and altered his words, “…She’s a servant of the princess, so she must know about the princess’s whereabouts. Benwang needs to properly interrogate her.”

“Oh. Is that so?” Tuoba Hui nodded his head in understanding. Even though he was libidinous, he still put his duties above his lust. Since his king brother was missing his dear princess, he must be feeling very anxious right now, and he didn’t want to add fuel to the fire, “Then, I’ll leave you to your interrogation. I’ll go and supervise the troops.”

“En.”

After finally shoo-ing the irksome presence away, Hu Luoyan hesitantly walked forward and supported the half-kneeling girl up.

“You… I…”

The atmosphere was slightly delicate, and he didn’t know how to start speaking.

“That’s right! Brother, if you’re going to interrogate her, make sure not to kill her in the process!” Upon reaching the entrance, Tuoba Hui suddenly turned his head and casually added this while thinking to himself, ‘It would be such a pity if such a beautiful girl were to die so suddenly. If nothing were to happen to her after his brother’s interrogation, perhaps he might even be able to marry her.’

“…” Hu Luoyan didn’t even need to think twice to know what this horny brat was thinking, saying through gritted teeth, “Just scram, quickly!”

“Alright, alright, alright, I’m leaving. I’m leaving!”

Seeing his brother’s temper finally flare up, Tuoba Hui immediately drew back his tail and slipped away in befuddlement, leaving behind a gloomy Hu Luoyan.

If it weren’t for Chu Jiao secretly signaling to him to not reveal her identity, Hu Luoyan would have beaten this rascal to death on the spot! If he was going to hit on a girl, how dare he hit on his girl! That unruly brat!

“Pft!”

Seeing the two brothers’ interaction, Chu Jiao couldn’t hold herself back from breaking into a fit of laughter. Tuoba Hui was such a burly person, so seeing him terrified was simply too amusing for words.

“Cough.” Hu Luoyan originally thought that the young girl would be furious upon learning his real identity, but seeing the current situation, he felt slightly relieved, and it was a bit easier to push words out of his mouth.

“D-… Do you already know?”

He had overheard a few words being exchanged between them before he had stepped in. Throughout the whole journey, everybody had acted as a witness to the princess’s great wit, so Hu Luoyan wasn’t convinced that she still didn’t know who he truly was.

“Know?”

Chu Jiao innocently raised a brow, “Know what?”

She took her time approaching the man, step by step, whereas Hu Luoyan withdrew, step by step.

“Is it knowing that the General Tuoba, who was escorting me this entire time, was a phony?”

“Or, is it knowing that His Majesty has the habit of picking pure flowers?”

“Is it knowing that the man that I am about to marry is a frivolous lecher?”

“Or, is it knowing that the majestic Xianbei Khan was the type of someone who did not take responsibility for his actions!?”

Chu Jiao’s waist was still a bit sore at this point in time, and the more she spoke, the more rage she felt surging in herself, angrily jabbing the man’s chest every time she uttered a question, making Hu Luoyan feel increasingly guilty with each poke.

“Princess… No… Ah Jiao… Let me explain…”

Right now, he didn’t have the heart to ask Chu Jiao why she and Bi Luo had switched identities, only having this thought, ‘As long as she wasn’t angry, he would be fine with whatever happens.’

“Hehe,” Even though it was a rare sight to behold for Chu Jiao to see him so downcast, she did not give him the least bit of face, “Your Majesty is godly and valiant, proficient in making wise decisions. Why do you need to give an explanation to a little girl like me?”

“Of course, it’s because you’re different.”

Hu Luoyan promptly replied, expressing his feelings. At this moment, there was no one else around them, and with his beloved being upset, naturally, he had to coax her troubled heart. What was the harm in getting off his high horse?

“Oh? I’m different?” Chu Jiao hammered her still aching waist in a disgruntled manner, deliberately making it more difficult for him, “Where specifically am I different?”

“You are the Khatun that I, Tuoba Yan, am to be officially wedded to. Xianbei’s most respected queen, but more impor… more importantly… you are the woman I love.”

Having never uttered words of love before, Hu Luoyan’s neck turned taut, his face already turning completely scarlet from the new experience.

With these words, Chu Jiao seemed to have finally been appeased, her furrowed brows unfurling at the next second. After giving a irked humph, she finally forgave the man for leaving last night without any notice, allowing him to lovingly pull her into an embrace as his palm gently kneaded her waist.

However, before an intimate atmosphere could even form from thin air, someone rudely interrupted their serene moment. Tuoba Hui, who had planned to slip away and ride his horse for a lap after settling the troop, had unknowingly returned to the stables, and before he could even step foot inside, he heard Hu Luoyan bare his inner feelings out in the open.

“What!?”

“Brother! You don’t have to get depressed even if you can’t find the princess! How could a mere maid match up to you!!”

Tuoba Hui felt incomparably shocked. What kind of seductive powers did this servant girl have?! How was she able to charm his brother into taking her as his wife in a blink of an eye!?

She was actually able to tempt both of them brothers with just an encounter!

She was simply the reincarnation of Daji ¹Daji was the favorite consort of King Zhou of Shang, the last king of the Shang dynasty in Ancient China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daji! A bewitching consort who brought calamity to the kingdom!

This simply won’t do! It didn’t matter if there was one less gorgeous girl that he couldn’t play with. His innocent brother couldn’t be harmed by such an alluring woman!

Kill her. Kill her. She must be killed! Such a dangerous woman should not exist!
