Very Soft and Tempting...

Translator: CinderTL

Xu Sanyan gave a light smile, "Madam, is there something important that brings you here at this hour?"

Madam Wu glanced around, gently biting her lip, "Won't Fourth Master invite me to sit?"

Xu Sanyan looked around; the chairs and tables were all broken, only the bed was intact. He then said, "If Madam doesn't mind, please have a seat on the bed."

Madam Wu lowered her eyes and murmured in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "Hmm."

"Don't call me Madam anymore. My name is... Xiao Tian, Fourth Master can call me by my maiden name," Madam Wu said softly.

Xu Sanyan was taken aback; the name was quite charming.

"Or you can call me Ru Yue," Madam Wu added, seemingly noticing his hesitation.

"Ru Yue, what brings you here so late at night?" Xu Sanyan played along, teasing her on purpose.

Madam Wu glanced at him sideways, thinking, "We're both from the bandit's den, why pretend to be a gentleman?"

But she continued to play her part, her expression somber, "My husband died unexpectedly, leaving me and our child to fend for ourselves. I'm at a loss on how to protect this vast estate. I hope Fourth Master can guide me."

Xu Sanyan slowly walked towards her, and they sat together on the bed, "Simple, just find another reliable man, isn't that right?"

Madam Wu lowered her head, her eyes stealing glances, and whispered, "Where can I find such a man?"

Xu Sanyan gently wrapped his arm around her full waist, and Madam Wu shivered slightly.

"I think Old Liu is a good choice, he's Wu Jue's sworn brother, perhaps he's reliable," Xu Sanyan suggested.

Madam Wu didn't resist, "He's too old..."

Xu Sanyan gently untied the belt at her waist, "Then who do you think is suitable?"

Madam Wu sighed inwardly, in these times, where could one find someone truly worthy of entrusting a lifetime to?

Back then, she had no choice but to submit to Wu Jue, having no other options.

If she could choose, who would want to live an uncertain life in a bandit's den?

Madam Wu harbored bitterness she dared not show, her face flushed as she helped Xu Sanyan undress.

"I think, he's far away yet right in front of me..."

A dark cloud covered the bright moon outside, plunging the room into darkness, with only the sounds of intimacy echoing.

…

Early the next morning.

Xu Sanyan opened his eyes, glanced at the still sleeping Madam Wu, and felt satisfied with a pat. It was a different feeling from Tang Huanhuan.

She's the type who knows to change positions with just a tap, very accommodating.

He dressed and got up without disturbing her, walking out alone.

At that moment, an old voice came from the courtyard, "Fourth Master, is the boss dead?"

Xu Sanyan squinted and saw that it was Old Liu, Wu Jue's sworn brother.

"Yes," Xu Sanyan admitted without hiding. He would find out sooner or later.

Old Liu had suspected it yesterday because Wu Jue would never bring bandits here; this place was not only his retreat but also where his only son lived.

"And the bandit camp..." Old Liu wanted to inquire about the situation there.

Xu Sanyan smiled, "It's disbanded. If you're interested, you can go and reassemble the crew."

Old Liu's eyes flashed with coldness, "Haha... Since Brother Wu has met with misfortune, then this vast estate should be inherited by his son, surely Fourth Master has no objections?"

Xu Sanyan asked curiously, "What does that have to do with you?"

Old Liu shook his head, his tone neither friendly nor hostile, "I am Wu Jue's sworn brother, Wu Peng is my nephew, naturally it concerns me. But you..."

"When does Fourth Master plan to leave?" Old Liu stated his purpose.

Xu Sanyan chuckled and shook his head, the old man wanted to drive him away to seize Wu Jue's inheritance alone.

With that, Xu Sanyan didn't wish to waste words. He slightly bent his legs, then shot forward like an arrow, his fingers like knives slicing through the air with sharp whistles.

Old Liu's face turned serious. Despite his age, his skills were decent. He shielded his chest with both palms and subtly moved his toes, ready to block Xu Sanyan's arms and with a kick, render him incapable of fathering children.

Boom—

A muffled sound was heard as Old Liu was forced back seven or eight steps before he could stabilize, his face full of shock.

"Inner Qi Realm!"

He himself was over seventy and only at the initial stage of the Inner Qi Realm. This lad looked no more than twenty, yet he had already caught up. What extraordinary talent!

"Old man, good eyes," Xu Sanyan complimented politely, then attacked again like a swimming dragon, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Xu Sanyan was young and strong, while Old Liu was half buried in the ground, and hadn't practiced in years. In a head-on clash, he was no match. Thus, even without his long knife, Xu Sanyan wasn't worried.

"Wait..."

Old Liu exclaimed, "I'll let it go."

Xu Sanyan acted as if he didn't hear. After scheming against him, he still wanted to live?

With another "boom," they clashed once more. Xu Sanyan recovered instantly, while Old Liu was half a beat slower and took a punch to the chest.

"Pfft..."

A mouthful of blood sprayed out as Old Liu fell to the ground, tremblingly pointing at Xu Sanyan, his face full of hatred, "You..."

Xu Sanyan was quick, striking his palm on Old Liu's crown, "Take your words down to Wu Jue, and tell him for me, his wife is very soft."

At that moment, Madam Wu appeared at the door, disheveled, looking at Old Liu's body in the courtyard, a hint of sorrow in her heart.

Old Liu had taken care of Wu Peng for many years; there was some affection. But now that he was dead, it was too late for anything.

Xu Sanyan turned to look at Madam Wu, the murderous aura around him not yet dissipated, making her heart tremble, fearing he might kill her in his rampage.

Fortunately, Xu Sanyan quickly regained his composure and even chuckled lightly, "Madam, can you handle the body?"

Madam Wu nodded repeatedly, "Fourth Master, rest assured, leave it to me."

"That's good."

Xu Sanyan went back into the room to pick up his long knife and walked out. Big Yellow Tooth popped out from somewhere.

"Fourth Master is mighty!"

Xu Sanyan ignored him and walked straight out the door. He wanted to check Jingzhai Hall for any treasures.

On the main street, early in the morning, many vendors were already out hawking their goods, creating a lively scene.

Big Yellow Tooth scurried to buy a few buns and handed them over, "Fourth Master, have a bite."

Xu Sanyan took them, eating as he walked, inquiring about the location of Jingzhai Hall and headed straight there.

Jingzhai Hall was located in the south of the city, a three-story pavilion, ornately decorated and quite majestic.

"Tsk, how much would it cost to build a place like this?" Big Yellow Tooth looked up.

Xu Sanyan stepped over the threshold.
