Free Web NovelChapter 155: Cai Yan’s Emotions Stirred
Jiujiang County.
Long Mansion.
As soon as Long Chen stepped through the vermilion gate, he saw a strange phenomenon in the sky above the back garden.
In the night sky, a colorful phoenix shadow danced gracefully, as if performing a mesmerizing dance.
Its dance was captivating, yet if one sensed carefully, there was a unique feeling of melancholy.
It wasn’t over yet.
A melodious sound of a guqin resonated, truly a tune that could rend one’s heart.
Hearing this melody, Long Chen felt as if he had returned to his past life, sitting with his family at the dinner table, eating home-cooked dishes and chatting about ordinary matters.
Though simple, it was heartwarming...
Coming out of the ancient tune’s lingering atmosphere, Long Chen’s usually calm heart was moved.
A strong sense of curiosity arose within him.
He knew his beloved Chan’er could play some tunes and dance alluringly.
But he had never heard her play such a heart-wrenching tune!
Could it be that my Diao Chan is playing this tune to dispel her boredom because I’ve been busy away from home for so long?
Long Chen pondered in his heart. freēwēbnovel.com
However, as he approached the back garden,
he saw a graceful figure sitting behind the guqin.
The figure was petite, not as tall and captivating as Diao Chan, but exuded a unique youthful charm.
This made Long Chen’s mind race.
The next moment,
he suddenly remembered who this person was!
Wasn’t she Cai Yan, also known as Cai Wenji, whom he had brought back by chance earlier?
Why is she playing a homesick tune in the middle of the night...
"Ahem!"
Long Chen approached and interrupted Cai Wenji’s playing. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
The beauty frowned slightly and looked up to see Long Chen.
Instantly, she became even more furious, thinking that it was because of this man in front of her that she ended up in Yangzhou.
Separated by thousands of miles from her father!
And cut off from her fiancé whom she had never met.
Although she was strongly opposed to this marriage.
The crucial point was being separated from her father, Cai Yong!
"Hmph! What are you doing here?!"
Her tone was full of grievance and anger.
However, to Long Chen, it sounded like a little girl intentionally venting her frustration.
Cai Yan, with her slightly chubby cheeks, looked very cute.
Her arched eyebrows, big bright eyes full of spirit and cuteness, and long, curled eyelashes had a touch of charm.
Along with her cherry-red lips that seemed ready to be kissed, Cai Yan was undoubtedly one of the most delightful young girls in the Three Kingdoms.
At least she could be ranked in the top three.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been favored by the leader of the northern tribes and taken as a concubine!
It’s important to know that during this time, most foreign tribes treated Han women they captured as female slaves and breeding tools.
Some even more cruelly, directly **, killed them, and then ate them to satisfy their hunger!
Truly ruthless!
When Long Chen studied this history in his past life, he made a grand vow in his heart,
If he ever had the chance to come to this era, he would make these brutal and bloodthirsty tribes fear him!!
Completely destroy and conquer them!!
Back to the present,
The Zuoxian King of the Xiongnu held a high status, having had many women, yet such a person,
after capturing Cai Yan, took her as a concubine.
Besides Cai Yan’s proficiency in music and literary talents, her beauty played a significant role.
"Why... why are you staring at me!!?"
Cai Yan stepped back slightly, looking at Long Chen with a worried expression.
Her large, dark eyes stared blankly at Long Chen.
"Staring at you because you are beautiful."
Long Chen said honestly, looking at Cai Yan with sincere eyes.
Cai Yan’s face turned slightly red, her breathing becoming a bit heavier.
This guy, this guy is so bold!!!
Although you are very handsome, you shouldn’t keep staring at me!
Cai Yan mentally complained frantically.
Long Chen took off the white brocade robe he was wearing and gently draped it over Cai Yan’s petite, delicate frame.
The white brocade robe wrapped Cai Yan’s entire body, only revealing her cute, charming, and fair face.
Her big, dark eyes darted around, her face flushed.
Oh my~
She had never been this close to a man before~~
Cai Yan’s heart was beating wildly, like a little deer in a panic.
Long Chen, however, had no other thoughts at the moment.
Considering Cai Yan was only about fifteen years old, he restrained his restless heart.
Forget it, she’s still just a child...
Wait a few more years...
Holding the little girl, he returned to the room and gently covered her with a soft, fragrant quilt.
Leaning close to her ear, he whispered warmly,
"Alright, Yan’er, be good~"
"It’s late, so go to sleep early. Catching a cold wouldn’t be good."
"And, I will take you to find your father, Cai Yong, soon. Don’t be sad or upset anymore!"
Hearing this, Cai Yan felt a strange sensation. The man in front of her seemed like her "mother"~
Too meticulous!
This was almost unheard of in ancient men, influenced by feudal thinking...
However, when Cai Yan heard that she would see her father soon, she nodded repeatedly.
Her flushed face was full of excitement.
Smooch—
Long Chen was stunned, looking at the little girl in front of him.
Goodness, you’re really stirring things up!!!
After Cai Yan kissed Long Chen’s lips, she was also shocked.
She didn’t know why she kissed Long Chen’s lips, and moreover~
Oh my gosh~~~
So embarrassing! So embarrassing!!!
Cai Yan immediately pulled the quilt over her head, turning away.
She didn’t dare to look at Long Chen, nor let Long Chen see her thoroughly red face.
In fact, Cai Yan’s actions were largely influenced by Long Chen’s golden talent 【Dragon Among Men】!
A charm value of 100 was absolutely irresistible to ordinary women, even a famous talented woman like Cai Yan couldn’t resist.
Thus, she acted impulsively...
"Well... you rest early... I’ll... I’ll be going now..."
After saying this, Long Chen left.
Although being kissed by a little girl was a bit strange, it was more of an indescribable feeling.
Enough, enough, better get back to Diao Chan’s residence quickly!
Otherwise, if Chan’er falls asleep, it would be troublesome to handle things later~~
......
......
The next morning.
Long Chen woke up feeling refreshed from Diao Chan’s soft embrace, considerately covering her fair and proud body with a quilt.
After practicing a set of White Tiger Spear techniques in the courtyard, sweating profusely, he returned to his room to bathe.
After handling all matters, he hurried to the prefect’s office.
Upon arrival, he found Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai already waiting for him.
Long Chen asked in surprise:
"Why are you here so early?"
Xi Zhicai replied with a smile:
"Master, it wasn’t my idea to come so early. It’s Brother Fengxiao, he insisted on coming early today."
Guo Jia closed his folding fan, respectfully cupping his hands towards Long Chen:
"General, may I ask what your ambition is?"
After a night of contemplation, Guo Jia had decided to serve Long Chen!
Having observed for some days, he was already thoroughly acquainted with the situation in Jiujiang County.
He was also well aware of Long Chen’s reputation among the common people.
From these details, Guo Jia had already figured out most of Long Chen’s character traits!
This person is destined for greatness!
In the future struggle for dominance, this person will undoubtedly have a significant place.
Better to plan early and become his strategist.
That way, he could also become a veteran figure in the future.
