"Pretty boy, who are you again?"
Seeing yet another person blocking her path, Wu Qingmeng immediately erupted!
Having been born with a golden key, it was the first time she encountered so many people daring to disrespect her!
What was worse, this newcomer had the audacity to issue commands to her!
Just as her words left her lips, a voice tinged with urgency echoed from within the carriage!
"Dreamer, do not speak disrespectfully to the young master!"
At this proclamation, those surrounding the carriage were taken aback!
Especially Die Ke, who had just concealed himself, was drenched in cold sweat!
Initially, upon seeing the imposing figure emerge from the carriage, he thought a formidable force had come to challenge the Cao family!
However, it turned out to be a mere facade!
Not only did they lack the strength to contend with the Cao family, but judging by the titles, they even had to bow to them!
"Impossible! We cannot linger here!"
"Indeed, we cannot even remain in Lingxiao City!"
"If not…"
Muttering to himself, Die Ke began surveying the terrain, preparing to seize an opportunity to escape!
In truth, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would undoubtedly suffer greatly this time!
This little girl, Wu Qingmeng, would not be able to save him!
Yet, the moment the person inside the carriage spoke, the situation shifted entirely!
"Since the celestial being inside the carriage is acquainted with me, why not step out and greet me?"
Cao Wenbin's interest in the occupant stemmed from the fact that just moments ago, the "Record of the Ten Thousand Beauties" in his mind had inexplicably flipped open!
And it had come to rest on the twenty-second page!
It was evident that a renowned beauty was seated within!
Logically speaking, having made such an invitation, the person inside should have come out to pay their respects!
Yet, unexpectedly…
"Young master, there are many prying eyes outside; it would be better for you to enter!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Wenbin cast a glance at the right rear of the carriage, then, under Die Ke's horrified gaze, he wickedly slipped inside!
For him, subduing the destined one was indeed crucial!
However, it paled in comparison to enhancing his own strength!
After all, at any time, one must forge oneself to be resilient!
…
In stark contrast to the dimming twilight outside, the interior of the carriage was ablaze with light!
As his eyes adjusted to the brilliance, Cao Wenbin finally discerned the appearance of the speaker!
He beheld a woman reclining lazily, seemingly unfazed even as Cao Wenbin sat at her feet!
Draped in a black gauzy dress, much of her nearly flawless figure was concealed!
Her hair cascaded like a waterfall, her skin as fair as snow!
Adorning her lovely legs, clad in flesh-toned stockings, was an exquisite anklet made of unknown gems!
"Indeed, she deserves her place in the Record of the Ten Thousand Beauties; her appearance is beyond reproach!"
"Upon closer inspection, she seems even more beautiful than Die Yunyu!"
"Could it be that the beauties listed in the Record only become more alluring as one progresses through the pages?"
With this thought, Cao Wenbin suddenly felt "excited"!
If the twenty-second page looked like this, the first page must be a celestial being!
As Cao Wenbin sank into his reverie, the woman, still lying on her side, finally stirred!
Yet she still made no move to sit up!
Instead, she placed her elegantly stockinged legs into Cao Wenbin's lap!
"Young master, I am Pei Luoxue, the empress of the Tianwu Dynasty. I cradled you in my arms when you were born!"
As she spoke, her delicate foot playfully wiggled!
"What a scandalous display!"
To be honest, even if this woman had not enticed him, Cao Wenbin, yearning for rewards, would have undoubtedly made a move once the opportunity arose!
However, her voluntary cooperation spared him considerable effort!
Thus, his large hands instinctively…
Of course, if his hands were in motion, his mouth would not remain idle!
"So it is Aunt Pei! My apologies for the oversight!"
"By the way, Aunt Pei, your manner of greeting is rather unique!"
"While others extend a hand, you extend a leg!"
Truly, she was a woman who had borne children and ascended to the empress's throne!
Pei Luoxue's composure was not ordinary!
Faced with such teasing, she not only remained unashamed but also smiled and retorted: "Does this mean the young master is not pleased?"
"If so, I shall withdraw!"
As she spoke, she feigned a movement to withdraw her legs!
Although Cao Wenbin was fully aware of her theatrics, he could not help but exclaim, "Don't!"
Indeed, the moment he uttered those words, Pei Luoxue immediately halted her movements!
"I know no one can resist my legs!"
At that moment, a look of triumph filled Pei Luoxue's face!
But soon, her expression froze!
For Cao Wenbin was attempting to breach her defenses!
"Don't!"
Now it was Pei Luoxue's turn to lose her composure!
She had indeed been tempting Cao Wenbin with the intention of seeking his assistance!
Yet, she had her limits!
Being toyed with was one thing; after all, she would not lose any flesh!
However, as an empress, she absolutely could not…
