12. Who Will Go First

His gaze swept repeatedly over the three women's curvaceous figures.

While the trio's beauty didn't quite match Lin Qingzhu's overwhelming allure, they were still exceptional beauties in their own right, each with her own charm.

Xuan Su was mature and full of grace, Shi Ziyue was cold and aloof, and Xia Zhilan had a detached air.

However, as their statuses had changed, Xuan Su became even more alluring, while the cold aloofness and indifference in the other two had vanished.

Chen Xuan reached out, gently cupping the chins of Shi Ziyue and Xia Zhilan, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "I liked you both better when you were more defiant. How about you return to that?"

"Huh?"

Shi Ziyue and Xia Zhilan blinked in surprise.

[Ding! Shi Ziyue feels astonished, +50 emotion points.]

[Ding! Xia Zhilan feels confused, +50 emotion points.]

What did he mean by that? The two exchanged bewildered glances.

Xuan Su, however, understood Chen Xuan's intent. She knew that both Xia Zhilan and Shi Ziyue harbored feelings for Lin Dong. After today, it would be difficult for them to remain on good terms.

So, she stepped forward and volunteered, "Master, these two young girls know nothing. Let me handle this."

Chen Xuan tilted his head. "There are some things you can't handle."

Xuan Su clenched her hands, full of confidence. "I'm sure I can."

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

"Mm-hmm." Xuan Su bit her lip, nodding resolutely.

She was confident in her looks and figure. How could these two young girls compare to her?

But she also understood that if the two girls were to throw themselves at Chen Xuan willingly, he likely wouldn't refuse.

So, she subtly gave them a meaningful look, hoping they would catch on.

[Ding! Xuan Su feels anxious and flustered, +100 emotion points.]

"Clang!"

Suddenly, Chen Xuan pulled out a rusty long sword and casually placed it on the table.

"Manager Xuan, how about you go over there and perform a sword dance for entertainment?"

A sword dance?

[Ding! Xuan Su feels puzzled, +50 emotion points.]

[Ding! Shi Ziyue feels surprised, +50 emotion points.]

[Ding! Xia Zhilan feels puzzled, +50 emotion points.]

The three women were stunned, especially Xuan Su. She had already mentally prepared herself to offer her body, but Chen Xuan wanted her to take this rusty sword and dance for his amusement instead.

Xuan Su's gaze landed on the sword, and the next moment, she was struck with shock. As the manager of a prestigious auction house, while she wasn't particularly strong, she had a discerning eye.

In an instant, she recognized that the seemingly rusty long sword before her was, in fact, a treasure!

And not just any treasure—this one far surpassed anything she had ever seen.

He wants me to dance with this sword?

[Ding! Xuan Su feels astonished, speechless, and expectant, +150 emotion points.]

[Ding! Xia Zhilan feels uneasy, +50 emotion points.]

[Ding! Shi Ziyue feels surprised, +50 emotion points.]

Chen Xuan was pleased with the surge of emotion points and prepared to extract even more from them.

Reluctantly, Xuan Su took hold of the seemingly ordinary sword, her expression shifting as soon as it touched her hand.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior, this sword… it's no ordinary spiritual treasure, is it?"

She could feel the immense power contained within the sword—it was far beyond any ordinary spiritual weapon.

Chen Xuan sipped his drink and nodded casually. "No, it's not an ordinary treasure."

"Could it be a treasure of the Earth rank?"

"Nope. Try again."

"Is it… a Sky rank treasure?" Xuan Su asked hesitantly, almost not daring to believe it.

Chen Xuan shook his head. "Guess again."

"Gulp…"

Xuan Su swallowed nervously and tentatively asked, "Could it be… one of the legendary Pure Yuan treasures?"

"Correct."

Hearing Chen Xuan's nonchalant response, the three women gasped in unison, their faces filled with shock.

What kind of person was he, to casually pull out a Pure Yuan treasure?

This was the first time the three had ever seen such a fabled item. Even a basic spiritual weapon could fetch an astronomical price at auction in the Great Yan Empire, often leading to fierce competition and even bloodshed.

Anyone who acquired one would treat it like a priceless treasure, hiding it away for fear of someone coveting it.

But here he was, displaying it openly as if it were nothing. Was he that confident in his own power, or did he simply not care?

The three women didn't know, but they did know one thing: their priority was to serve him well.

With that, they split up the tasks—sword dancing, clapping in rhythm, and dancing. Whether or not they were skilled didn't matter; they just needed to keep going and ensure Chen Xuan was satisfied.

Chen Xuan, in turn, raked in several hundred more emotion points from them, profiting nicely.

When he decided it was time to leave, he was stopped by the bold Xuan Su, who grabbed his arm.

Chen Xuan asked, "What is it?"

Xuan Su hesitated for a moment, then shyly nodded. "You're already here…"

Chen Xuan blinked, confused. "Huh?"

Xuan Su, her face flushed, softly said, "Since you've come all this way…"

Oh? She was implying he should give her some personal instruction?

Chen Xuan knew exactly what she meant, but feigned ignorance. "So?"

"I promised my brother-in-law I'd make sure you were satisfied," Xuan Su replied, her face growing even hotter.

Chen Xuan smirked, grabbing her by the chin. "How do you plan to do that? All of you together?"

With that, his gaze swept over Xia Zhilan and Shi Ziyue's bodies. Both of them, clearly nervous, trembled slightly under his gaze.

Xuan Su bit her lip and looked toward the other two.

After a brief hesitation, they both nodded, realizing this was a rare opportunity they couldn't pass up.

Finally, Xuan Su responded, "It would be our honor to serve you."

"'Serve me,' huh?" Chen Xuan chuckled to himself.

Fine. Let's see who can endure the test.

Though his main goal was to get revenge on Lin Dong, Chen Xuan felt he was too close to turn back now.

He pulled the mature and alluring Xuan Su into his arms, his hand gently stroking her soft cheek. "You said it."

"Mm-hmm," the three voices replied in unison.

Chen Xuan flicked his sleeve, clearing the dining table of all the dishes, leaving a smooth surface behind.

The stage was set.

"Xuan Su, who will go first?"
