Chapter 40 Honey Reaps the Reward
"what……"
Tian Mi gasped in surprise, her face turning pale with fright.
She hadn't expected Cao Yuan to be so direct.
Before she could even use her seductive arts, Cao Yuan could no longer contain himself.
Ultimately, she overestimated Cao Yuan's patience.
They thought Cao Yuan was like those reserved Confucian gentlemen, or even like the legendary Liu Xiahui, who was upright enough and unmoved by temptation.
But to everyone's surprise, Cao Yuan was so lacking in martial ethics.
"Sir, please don't..."
Tian Mi tried her best to maintain a smile, but her hands were not slow. She secretly used her internal strength to try to push Cao Yuan away.
But the next moment, Tian Mi's expression changed.
Cao Yuan chuckled and grabbed Tian Mi's fair wrist, pressing it onto the table.
"Didn't Miss Tian Mi want to have a romantic affair with me? Why do you want to back out now?"
Tian Mi's heart sank slightly, and her originally charming and flirtatious eyes gradually turned sharp.
"Have you practiced cultivation?"
Cao Yuan looked down at the little vixen he had pinned down and chuckled, "What a nuisance, you figured it out."
Tian Mi narrowed her beautiful eyes and stared at the man pressing her down.
"What do you want? This is a farm's outpost!"
She tried to struggle, but found that Cao Yuan's hand was like iron, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free.
"Hehe, is Miss Tian Mi admitting that she comes from a farming family?"
Tian Mi suddenly looked pitiful and said in a soft, coquettish tone, "Sir, Mi'er is timid, please don't frighten Mi'er anymore, okay..."
"Good... my ass!"
Cao Yuan gave a light shout, instantly breaking Tian Mi's seductive spell on him.
"Forehead……"
A trickle of blood appeared on Tian Mi's delicate lips.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief as she looked at Cao Yuan.
Combined with the alluring techniques employed by the "Blooming Flowers" fragrance, even a second-rate peak expert would fall victim to it when caught off guard.
But Cao Yuan actually...
"Who exactly are you?!"
Tian Mi said in a low voice.
Cao Yuan chuckled lightly: "You dare to show off your petty skills in front of me?"
"As for who I am? Heh, what do you think?"
His spiritual power was already strong, and after absorbing the spiritual energy from the bronze treasure box and breaking through to the first-class realm, it became even stronger and more resilient, not much weaker than Jing Ni.
How could she be seduced by Tian Mi's allure?
Even though Tian Mi's seductive skills are indeed very powerful.
As Tian Mi gazed up at Cao Yuan's handsome face, her heart raced for some reason, and she unconsciously felt a surge of affection for him.
Oh no… Tian Mi thought to herself, this is bad.
The allure of seduction backfired.
Originally, Cao Yuan should have developed feelings for her, admired her, and obeyed her every word.
However, after the backlash, the caster will develop feelings of goodwill and affection for the victim.
"Miss Tian Mi doesn't look too well."
Cao Yuan said with a hint of sarcasm, but in his mind he was pondering how to deal with Tian Mi.
Killing is out of the question.
It's not worth being so harsh over such a small conflict.
Do more harm than good.
But we can't let Tian Mi off the hook easily.
This woman keeps flirting with him, does she really think he's made of clay?
Besides, even clay figures have a bit of temper.
Tian Mi's originally alluring gaze now darted away, avoiding Cao Yuan's eyes.
"Mr. Cao Yuan, it was just a small misunderstanding between us. Mi'er knows she was wrong, Mi'er apologizes to you, and Mi'er promises that she will never be disrespectful to you again."
Cao Yuan scoffed, "If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?"
Police... Tian Mi was a little confused. What are police?
"Then, what do you want to do?"
Tian Mi bit her lip lightly, a sense of foreboding creeping over her.
Cao Yuan suddenly released his grip on Tian Mi's hands.
He laughed and said, "Miss Tian Mi has stirred up my temper."
"Please, Miss Tian Mi, do me a favor and help me put out the fire."
Tian Mi's little head was a bit fuzzy.
She rubbed her snow-white wrist, slowly realizing what Cao Yuan wanted to do.
She managed a weak smile.
"What is the master saying? Mi'er doesn't quite understand."
Cao Yuan's face turned cold.
He quickly changed his mind and threatened Tian Mi, saying, "Do you know who I am? You should know that what you've done today is enough to bring you to your doom."
"I'm already being merciful by asking you to help me put out a fire and sleep with me."
Tian Mi was slightly taken aback.
She used so many methods just to find out who Cao Yuan was and what his background was.
But she only wanted to get information out of him and didn't want to get herself into trouble because of it.
As for whether or not to seduce Cao Yuan, that depends on whether Cao Yuan has that value.
Otherwise, she might as well have married Wu Kuang, who had just returned to his farming family.
"Then, may I ask who you are, sir?"
Cao Yuan sat imposingly on the table, fabricating lies without batting an eye.
"The lover of the Queen Dowager of Zhao in Qin, and now the adoptive father of the King of Qin, will soon be enfeoffed as Marquis of Changxin."
"...Are you Lü Buwei?"
Tian Mi's eyes widened.
Apart from the fact that the Marquis of Changxin doesn't match, other details such as the Empress Dowager Zhao's lover and the King of Qin's adoptive father match up in rumors and some intelligence reports.
Cao Yuan coughed twice.
He almost forgot about Lü Buwei, the originator of the "shared girlfriend, shared father" phenomenon, and the prequel to Lao Ai.
At this moment, Tian Mi's mind also came to a realization.
"No, you're not Lü Buwei; the age doesn't match at all."
Cao Yuan chuckled and said, "Of course I am not Lü Buwei, but in the near future, my status will not be lower than Lü Buwei's."
To be honest, he was actually a little envious of Lao Ai.
He can be considered the grandmaster of the gigolo world.
It's important to understand that not everyone can simply choose to live off a woman.
For example, when faced with the many temptations of beautiful female customers, he went through a lot of struggle before having the idea of living off a woman.
Unfortunately, he inexplicably traveled to the Qin Dynasty, and his draft plan to live off a woman was stillborn.
"real?"
Tian Mi looked at Cao Yuan with some suspicion.
Let's set aside whether this is true or not.
Taking all these events together, she felt that Cao Yuan's survival without being executed along with his entire family by the King of Qin was absolutely a stroke of incredible luck.
Cao Yuan calmly replied, "My trip abroad was to temporarily avoid the limelight. Now that the Empress Dowager has taken care of the matter, I will be returning to China in a few days."
He changed the subject: "Whether it's true or not, does it even matter?"
"...Aren't you afraid that the King of Qin will exterminate your entire clan if he finds out?"
"Heh, so you believe it now?"
Tian Mi narrowed her beautiful eyes, her gaze sparkling with wisdom.
"This morning I received intelligence that a member of the Luo Wang organization died in a locksmith shop in the city. If I'm not mistaken, they were there to kill you, weren't they?"
Cao Yuan paused for a moment, then laughed heartily: "You figured it out."
Women who are good at imagining things are generally more likely to conceive.
Tian Mi said with an incredulous look, "You're really capable."
Cao Yuan smiled and said, "Same here. Isn't Miss Tian Mi also trying to climb the social ladder by relying on men? We're just like any other."
They're all just trying to live off women, so no one should laugh at the other.
However, compared to Tian Mi, who genuinely wants to live off a man and marry into "high society,"
He's just joking when he says he lives off women.
Even if he has to live off a woman, he has to force himself to do so.
