"Greetings, Your Highness."
Gao Xuan remained composed and lowered his head, offering a slight smile in greeting.
"No need for formalities, Senior Eunuch."
A hint of interest appeared in Noble Consort Wan's eyes.
She hadn't expected this newcomer, Senior Eunuch Gao, to be quite handsome. What surprised her even more was that Gao Xuan could resist the temptation of her just having finished bathing.
However, his cultivation only reached the late stage of the Ling Sea Realm, but his mental fortitude far surpassed ordinary people.
This person was somewhat intriguing, which explained why the Emperor valued him.
The corners of Noble Consort Wan's mouth curled up slightly, her enchanting eyes adding to her extraordinary beauty.
"Am I beautiful?"
Noble Consort Wan's voice carried a hint of laziness, her smile like blooming flowers. Her eyes were filled with a gentle and alluring charm that swayed people's hearts.
Xiaoniuzi, a mere young eunuch who had never even touched a palace maid's hand, had never experienced anything like this.
His face turned red, his body trembling, his throat rolling as he struggled to swallow his saliva.
"Yes, beautiful."
His eyes showed a mixture of panic and desire, unable to resist his overwhelming longing.
Especially as Noble Consort Wan's fingers touched his skin, he could feel the warmth of her fingertips. Everything seemed so beautiful, captivating his soul and rendering him unable to extricate himself.
At this moment, with just a word from her, he would willingly offer his own life.
Gao Xuan sighed inwardly, shaking his head slightly. This poor kid was doomed.
"Of course, I am beautiful," Noble Consort Wan said, her eyes filled with charm and her smile like tinkling bells.
"But as a servant like you, do you have the qualifications to look at me with such eyes?"
She maintained her smiling expression, her voice soft and charming, but her words sent shivers down everyone's spines.
Only Xiaoniuzi, seemingly enchanted, still had a look of fanaticism on his face.
"If Your Highness doesn't like it, Xiaoniuzi will gouge out his own eyes!"
With that, Xiaoniuzi suddenly reached out, fiercely grabbing his own eyes, and pulled with force, ripping out his own eyeballs.
Two horrifying empty sockets appeared on his face, blood gushing out, but his smile became even more fanatical.
This bloody and cruel scene made everyone feel nauseous, their internal organs churning, followed by an overwhelming sense of cold fear that made their bodies tremble.
"Very good."
Noble Consort Wan's coquettish smile grew even deeper, as if she was appreciating her own masterpiece.
After she let go of his chin, her eyes casually swept over Gao Xuan before she turned and walked towards the soft bed, her figure graceful and enchanting like a water snake.
Immediately after, Xiaoniuzi, whose sanity had returned, let out a scream of agony. He still held his own eyes in his hands, trembling in pain, and then collapsed, howling in agony.
"Hmph, a worthless fool. All of you, look at him. A servant must act like a servant! Otherwise, this will be the consequence!"
The middle-aged palace maid by Noble Consort Wan's side stepped forward, her voice cold.
Gao Xuan knew that everything Noble Consort Wan had just done was to establish her dominance over him, including the hidden meaning behind the words of this old maid.
Unfortunately, Xiaoniuzi had become the hapless chicken slaughtered to amuse the monkey today.
It was all because of him, and Gao Xuan wanted to spare this poor soul. He stepped forward with a cold expression and ordered, "Take him away, don't stain the eyes of Noble Consort."
"Yes."
Several young eunuchs on the side hurriedly dragged the howling Xiaoniuzi away, also taking care to pick up his two eyeballs.
They were only thinking that Xiaoniuzi's life was surely forfeit, so at least his body could remain intact for the burial.
By a twist of fate, this gave Xiaoniuzi a glimmer of hope for his eyes to be restored.
Taking advantage of the distraction, Gao Xuan flicked his finger, and a pill flew into Xiaoniuzi's mouth.
As an ordinary person, he had more than enough ability to heal him.
After Noble Consort Wan reclined on the soft bed, her legs crossed, eating the fruit handed to her by a palace maid, she chuckled, "Senior Eunuch Gao, do you find me cruel?"
Gao Xuan remained composed and calm, his face unchanged, as he respectfully replied, "Xiaoniuzi acted insolently, tarnishing Your Highness's noble body. He brought it upon himself."
"Hmph."
Noble Consort Wan covered her face and chuckled softly. "I am pleased that you can think this way."
"Most of the servants in this palace are nothing more than empty vessels. Very few catch my eye, and you are one of them."
Gao Xuan clasped his hands and said, "I am grateful for Your Highness's favor."
"In that case, would you mind personally massaging my feet, Senior Eunuch?" Noble Consort Wan gazed at Gao Xuan with a seductive look in her eyes.
What a vixen!
Gao Xuan cursed inwardly. It seemed that this woman wouldn't be satisfied unless she captivated him. So, he decided to use her own tricks against her.
He feigned delight and respectfully replied, "Since Your Highness has given the order, how could I dare to be disrespectful?"
"Please come forward, Senior Eunuch."
Noble Consort Wan giggled coquettishly, her breasts rising and falling, as she extended her perfect jade foot. It was crystal clear and translucent, fair with a hint of rosy red, its arch perfectly curved, delicate and enticing enough to be held in one's hand.
Gao Xuan approached, half crouching at the side of the soft bed, and reached out to hold Noble Consort Wan's foot. It was smooth and cold at first touch, but soon warmth enveloped his hand. It felt like tender jade, making him unable to resist the desire to caress and play with it.
"How does it feel, Senior Eunuch?"
Noble Consort Wan's smile grew even more enchanting, her body leaning forward. Her foxy eyes seemed to speak, exuding allure with every frown and smile.
At such close proximity, Gao Xuan could clearly feel the intoxicating fragrance of her breath as she spoke. Her bewitching voice had a magical quality that seduced his mind.
Gao Xuan smiled and exclaimed, "Such a foot should only exist in heaven."
As he gently kneaded her foot, he quietly activated the Devouring Demon Technique.
No one noticed the faint black mist swirling around his fingertips.
As Gao Xuan continued to knead, an unusual expression gradually appeared on Noble Consort Wan's face. Her cheeks blushed like peach blossoms, her eyes became misty, and her body softened. Even her snow-white neck turned red and heated.
Gao Xuan applied more force, causing Noble Consort Wan to let out a soft and boneless moan.
"Mmm~"
This sound sent shivers down Gao Xuan's spine, and his little brother immediately protested! He almost broke his composure.
However, Noble Consort Wan was completely unaware that something was amiss. She only felt that Gao Xuan's technique was extremely pleasurable, bringing a sense of indescribable delight to both her body and soul.
Her hands moved over her body, eagerly wanting to remove her clothes.
Gao Xuan smiled faintly, appreciating the sight, but inwardly sighing that Noble Consort Wan was still too inexperienced.
To use her seductive skills in front of him was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. The Devouring Demon Technique he possessed was of ancestral level!
"Your Highness?"
The palace maid beside them noticed that Noble Consort Wan's state was not right. If this continued, it was likely that her charm would be exposed prematurely, so she spoke up to remind her.
Seeing this, Gao Xuan quietly ceased his demonic technique.
Noble Consort Wan naturally regained her clarity. Her fair shoulders were exposed, and fine beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She believed that it was her own intense display of seductive skills that had led to this, unaware of anything unusual.
Gao Xuan pretended to be completely enchanted, his drool almost spilling out.
Seeing Gao Xuan's appearance, Noble Consort Wan coldly snorted, a strong sense of disgust evident in her eyes.
Although she cultivated seductive techniques, she detested the sight of men being infatuated after being seduced.
She, the esteemed Noble Consort, the only daughter of the Wan family, possessed a noble status and prominent family background. How many people in the world were worthy of her?
These insignificant toads dared to dream of eating swan meat. They didn't know their place.
If it weren't for Gao Xuan still being useful to her, she would have beheaded him long ago.
After a while, Noble Consort Wan adjusted her state of mind and regained her seductive and gentle demeanor. She lightly raised Gao Xuan's chin with the tip of her foot.
"Senior Eunuch Gao's technique is indeed superior to those eunuchs and maidservants."
Gao Xuan hurriedly smiled foolishly and said, "If Your Highness enjoys it, this servant will come to serve you every day."
While acting foolish, he also took the opportunity to steal a glance from the corner of his eye.
He remembered that this woman was only wearing a robe.
Unfortunately, before he could get a clear look, Noble Consort Wan lowered her foot and chuckled, "Senior Eunuch, there's no need for that. I only require your service at the appropriate times. Would you be willing?"
Gao Xuan quickly replied, "I am willing! It is an honor for this servant to serve Your Highness."
