Moonlit Night

While contemplating, Li Yi's gaze once again fell on the woman to his right. This woman, in stark contrast to the one on her left, wore a uniquely designed breastplate, revealing hints of flesh through its gaps. Her lower half was clad in extremely short shorts, unabashedly showcasing her long, straight legs to everyone. Tall and voluptuous, her wheat-colored skin radiated health. Uniquely, she exuded a wild beauty that could evoke a sense of conquest in any man. These two women, one innocent and the other wild, stood together, creating a breathtaking scene that captivated all onlookers.

Ye Qingma seemed quite taken, but he glanced at Long Aotian and Li Yi, smiling slightly, "If either of you are interested, feel free to choose first." Li Yi shook his head slightly, "Ye Young Master should choose first. A gentleman doesn't covet what others desire. If you're interested, why not take both?"

Ye Qingma laughed heartily and looked again at Long Aotian, "What do you say?" Long Aotian seemed uninterested in the women. He simply nodded, "Ye Young Master, please don't be polite. I have my arrangements already!"

Ye Qingma was slightly surprised by this response but quickly understood, "It seems Aotian has his secrets! Today, I must see the beauty you've kept hidden." Long Aotian smiled, "They surely can't compare to these two ladies. Please, don't be polite on my account."

Ye Qingma nodded, "Alright, if you insist, I won't hold back." With a gesture, the two women attending him respectfully withdrew. The two women in the hall exchanged glances and slowly walked over to sit by Ye Qingma, attentively serving him.

Long Aotian seemed pleased with this arrangement, giving Lan You Rong a brief smile. Her expression was faint, and she said softly, "Young Master Long, Hai Xi is changing and will join shortly." Her look towards Li Yi was somewhat peculiar, "Li Young Master... are you looking to try something new, or..."

Before Li Yi could respond, Long Aotian interjected, "Enough talk, since we're all here, let's stick to the usual customs. Li Young Master, you don't mind, do you?" Li Yi could only smile faintly in agreement.

Lan You Rong's face showed a teasing smile as she gazed deeply at Li Yi before leaving with a chuckle... This meaningful look made Li Yi's scalp tingle; he truly didn't know what troubles Li Yi had stirred up here before. Even after merging memories, details like these remained unknown to him.

As Li Yi pondered, hurried footsteps approached from a side door, which burst open abruptly. A graceful figure rushed in. This woman was different from the others; her eyebrows like new moons, eyes as enchanting as peach blossoms, her small mouth slightly open, bearing a shallow smile. Her blue eyes seemed almost liquid, and her brown hair cascaded over her shoulders, adding an exotic beauty. She wore an exquisite long dress, her face full of anger but incredibly alluring.

Standing there, she glared at Long Aotian before stepping forward, her voice tinged with resentment, "Young Master Long, you've finally remembered me, Hai Xi, today..." Her beautiful face held a trace of anger, enhancing her allure.

Long Aotian, slightly embarrassed, glanced at Ye Qingma and coughed lightly, "Hai Xi, we have guests today, don't make a fuss." Hai Xi huffed, clearly displeased with Long Aotian, but remembering her status, she pouted and sat next to him in silence.

Long Aotian, familiar with her temperament, pretended not to notice and picked up his wine, drinking. As he did, Hai Xi's expression softened, casting a curious glance at him. He laughed, "You little drunkard, always cheered up by wine."

Li Yi was speechless at this display. Long Aotian's taste was indeed unique, not just for Lan You Rong but also for Hai Xi. This made Li Yi silently pray that his own tastes weren't too peculiar, or else he might not be able to handle it.

With Ye Qingma and Long Aotian both accompanied, only Li Yi sat alone, creating an awkward contrast. Long Aotian then said with a light laugh, "Ye Young Master, if it weren't for Li Young Master's company today, we wouldn't have the chance to meet Miss Ruo Yun of Tian Xiang Tower."

Ye Qingma raised an eyebrow, seemingly about to speak, but remained silent. Li Yi's heart skipped a beat, wondering who this Miss Ruo Yun might be. If she wasn't too unusual, he might just accept her.

Just then, a gentle knocking sounded, followed by silence. The faces in the compartment were peculiar, and Li Yi knew he couldn't pretend anymore. He coughed lightly, "Come in."

The side door opened slowly, and a woman walked in with gentle steps, seemingly aware of Li Yi's location. She gazed at him intently, a look of unspoken sorrow in her eyes. Clad in a simple black dress with no additional adornments, her hair casually tied up and her face bare, her unparalleled beauty was mesmerizing. Upon her entrance, she immediately overshadowed the other women in the hall, even the characterful Zhai Haixi paled in comparison.

Ye Qingma's eyes gleamed upon seeing her, while Long Aotian's expression was enigmatic, concealing his thoughts. The other women exhibited envy and jealousy at her appearance. She walked gracefully to Li Yi, gazing at him with a furrowed brow, her expression heartbreakingly poignant.

She stood before Li Yi, her gaze fixed on him for what seemed like an eternity, causing him to feel uneasy. Finally, she took a deep breath, stepped forward, and lightly touched Li Yi's forehead, her voice filled with reproach, "Li Yi! How ruthless of you!"

Li Yi almost fainted at her accusation. He realized that she indeed had a past with Li Yi, something even the others couldn't discern. Her ethereal beauty was unmatched by anyone Li Yi had ever seen, leaving him speechless and overwhelmed.

Li Yi was at a loss for words, unable to articulate his thoughts. His mind was blank, only able to marvel at her astonishing beauty.

While everyone was still stunned by her beauty, the sound of a door being smashed open interrupted the moment. Long Aotian's face showed a flicker of surprise. He casually threw his wine cup, which collided with the flying door, creating a loud noise and scattering fragments across the floor.

The three men in the hall exchanged glances, shocked that someone would dare to disturb them in Wanchao City. Even members of the Mo family wouldn't dare such brazen behavior knowing that the Li and Long families were present.

A burly man with a beard strode in, nearly two meters tall, clad in iron armor, carrying a giant sword as tall as himself. His fierce face bore a sinister smile, his gaze settling on Ruo Yun, gleaming with interest. He arrogantly declared that the leader of his gang wanted her service, threatening to demolish the Tian Xiang Tower if she refused.

His menacing appearance caused the women in the hall to scream and retreat to a corner. Ruo Yun, though startled, did not scream but retreated two steps behind Li Yi.

Ye Qingma, sitting in the middle, looked at the burly man with a faint smile, "Although he seems to be targeting Li Young Master's woman, today I am the host..." He continued with a smile, offering the burly man a chance to leave or face death, not only for himself but also for his leader.

Li Yi rolled his eyes, knowing that Ye Qingma's background and power made his threats no exaggeration. However, the burly man's retort was disdainful, challenging them to survive his wrath.

Ye Qingma chuckled and applauded the man's audacity, expressing his readiness to take action. Long Aotian, on the other hand, suggested they relax and leave the matter to others, casually raising his wine glass to drink.

Li Yi, unsure of Long Aotian's intentions, remained calm, his gaze on the burly man, already smiling faintly...
