Chapter 64 Demoness (2)
Perhaps, it was because he had drunken wine, under the influence of alcohol, Li Youde coldly humped, “Provoking me? Alright, Lady Chen, don’t regret it!”
He stepped across the screen. Behind it was a large bathtub. Chen Hui was sitting in the bathtub. All her hair was wrapped on the top of her head, revealing her long white neck. The rising water vapor moistened her few strands of hair. Some were glued on her chin and some on her temples, making her look particularly alluring. Her whole body was submerged in the water. Only her head was revealed. Under the dim candlelight, the scenery under the water couldn’t be seen clearly.
Chen Hui was surprised, “Lord, you really came in?” She didn’t seem to panic at all.
In contrast, Li Youde was the one who was not calm enough. He made his gaze fell on Chen Hui’s face as much as he could and humphed coldly, “I think that if you go three days without a beating, you will scale the roof to ripe the tiles. Do you have to insist on letting me punish you for you to be more well-behaved?”
- Three days without a beating and a child will scale the roof to rip the tiles: spare the rod, spoil the child.
“Lord, what are you saying? This Lady Chen doesn’t understand,” Chen Hui said aggrievedly, “Didn’t this Lady Chen always have been honest and knowing this Lady Chen’s place? Did you have the wrong person?”
“Have the wrong person? In this whole Li residence, who else is such a troublemaker except for you?” Li Youde said angrily.
Chen Hui pondered for a while and admitted her mistake, “What lord is saying is somewhat reasonable. Then…this Lady Chen would accept the punishment frankly.”
She suddenly stood up from the bathtub. The water around her body splashed and many of the drops landed on Li Youde.
However, at this moment he didn’t have the mind to blame Chen Hui for this. When he saw her sudden movement and the white body emerging from the water, his heart shrank in fright. He hurriedly closed his eyes and stepped aside and happened to hit the screen. The screen was firm and fine, but he tripped, staggered and fell on his bum on the slippery ground. However, he still controlled his gaze and didn’t look at Chen Hui.
Chen Hui covered her mouth with a smile, but she didn’t dare to make a sound. Look at him, what eunuch? He was pure and innocent like a little scholar. He was worthy of being a paper tiger. He didn’t disappoint her at all.
When she heard Li Youde come in, she had put on her clothes and then carefully sank into the tub. She suddenly stood up to frighten Li Youde. Who knew that the effect was so good that she wanted to sing a hallelujah loudly? It was a pity that she couldn’t.
“Lord…lady?”
Such a big movement naturally attracted Xiao Tiao’s attention and she asked hesitantly.
“Everything is fine, Xiao Tiao,” Chen Hui held in her laughter and answered.
Xiao Tiao retreated after having a clear view of things. She really didn’t have the courage to bother about the matter of these two masters. She couldn’t make sense of what she was looking at.
“Lord, this Lady Chen is not severe floods and fierce beasts. Do you have to be so scared?” Chen Hui said aggrievedly.
Li Youde stood up while holding the screen and almost turned his back to Chen’s Hui. He was short of breath and his voice trembled with anger, “Are you still a woman? Do you still have any shame?! Quickly put on your clothes!”
Chen Hui pretended to be puzzled, “Lord, what are you talking about? Isn’t this Lady Chen dressed well?”
Li Youde paused for a few seconds and then slowly turned his gaze. Chen Hui was indeed wearing the middle layer of clothes, but it was completely drenched and pressed tightly to her body. Although, nothing could be seen, the curve of her body was undoubtedly revealed.
As a modern person who wore bikinis, this was of course nothing to Chen Hui. The clothes were not thin and she also wore a self-made bra inside. She wouldn’t even have protruding nipples. She didn’t even feel a tiny bit of embarrassment.
However, Li Youde turned his gaze away unconsciously and scolded her angrily in his heart.
This temptress!
However, his line of sight moved back after a while. He knew that she did it on purpose. So, how could he lose to her?
He pretended to scan Chen Hui from the head to the toe and sneered, “What? Do you have to recommend yourself as a pillow mat every other day?”
Chen Hui stepped on the steps inside the bathtub, sat on the edge. She put both feet out of the bathtub and placed them gently on the wooden steps outside, which were used to go up and down easily. Her white toes became brighter with the warm water. And Li Youde, who unconsciously moved his sight along with her movement was also scalded by the bright light and suddenly bounced away his sight.
“Hasn’t lord rejected this Lady Chen before? This Lady Chen naturally doesn’t dare to mention it again,” Chen Hui sighed. He always used similar words to scare her, but in the end, it was he, the paper tiger who was scared. How could he not learn his lesson? “But if lord wants, then this Lady Chen naturally…”
Chen Hui hadn’t put her hand on her waist yet when Li Youde coldly snorted, “You think I haven’t seen anything before? Alright, go change these wet clothes and go sleep. Don’t get ill and waist my good medicine!” Having said that, he turned and walked away with big anxious steps.
Chen Hui laughed silently behind the screen. Seeing his uncomfortable appearance was really fun.
“Right, I will leave the capital with the army in half a month. I will warn your first. When I am away, don’t cause trouble and don’t hook up with your little lover!”
Li Youde’s voice came from behind the door and then the footsteps of him leaving could be heard.
Chen Hui was stunned and didn’t get angry about Li Youde saying that she will ‘hook up with her little lover’. Instead, she thought about what he said about leaving the capital with the army.
She only knew about the invasion of the Xi Tribe on the recent war. The army probably went there. But Li Youde is a eunuch, what could he do going there? Delivering takeaway from thousand miles?
Chen Hui suddenly remembered that in some dynasties, eunuchs were sent to supervise the army. In the dynasty where the centralization of power had reached its peak, the civil and military officials were outsiders to the emperor and the eunuchs were his slaves. For such an important matter as war, naturally he had to send his own people to look over it in order to be at ease.
The war is merciless. Although, Li Youde could be sure that he was far behind the front line, but who knew whether there would be unexpected circumstances? Historically, hadn’t there also been emperors who went to lead the troops into battle personally and had been taken captive? She wondered whether Li Youde would encounter danger on this trip. However, Li Youde was not a good person after all. He would probably slip away first when he sees signs of danger. Instead of worrying whether he would be safe, it was better to worry about whether he would cause trouble…
