Intoxicated Life Dreaming Death is their routine gathering spot, used only on rare occasions throughout the year, and tonight is one of those rare occasions.
Inside the private room at this moment are Extravagance's most beautiful dancing girls, princesses, and young misters...
Intoxicated Life Dreaming Death space is vast, blending luxury, freshness, the aloof, and warmth in perfect harmony. It is a place of extravagance, opposition but also unity, profusion of colors, open display, independent and unconventional, uninhibited and arrogant.
Everyone is intoxicated by this glamorous and decadent atmosphere, except for one young man in dark blue military attire sitting alone right opposite the entrance, in the most conspicuous position in the room.
Laxity hangs from his shoulder; a few gold Morning Glory Flowers on the shoulder of his uniform shimmer under the light.
Those few Morning Glory Flowers symbolize a status most people in the empire can only aspire to.
His shirt is well-buttoned, revealing not a single extra inch of skin. He leans lazily on the soft sofa, legs on the black fragrant wooden coffee table in front of him.
Long fingers hold a tall glass, his beautiful lips curling in a faint, elusive smile. The face that captivates many flickers lights and darks under dimmed light, bewitchingly mysterious, wickedly indifferent, and cold.
His whole body exudes a supreme seduction in uniform, noble and ascetic. In that ordinary uniform, he looks unusually charming.
Not only the woman but even men find it hard to resist, watching him breathlessly.
However, he was not accompanied by any woman. Everyone was too cautious to approach him.
Feng Nongtang sighed: "Mr. Chen, your charm might prove too much for Baron Herman. Just look, every lady's eyes in this room are stuck on you. How are we to enjoy the rest of the night?"
Kang Chen, the youngest marshal the empire ever had, not to mention his prestigious family background.
Just as a person, he is already an unreachable figure.
In an empire that values military merits over family background, he has managed to climb to this position in just seven years, demonstrating his extraordinary abilities.
Draining the red wine in his glass, Kang Chen glanced at Baron Herman who was affectionately hugging a handsome young man.
He has heard that this baron is an openly homosexual man who adores any handsome men.
Kang Chen squinted his eyes, the corner of his mouth hooked almost imperceptibly as he said, "Well, he is welcome to try."
His voice is like a piece of the most expensive and supple silk, low and elegant, richer than the decades-old red wine in his hand. Just hearing his voice is enough to make a person's body go limp.
Huo Er, the guard standing behind him, standing half a foot forward, his immature face clear, seemed oblivious to the licentiousness and extravagance around him.
Even though he was in the midst of all this, he still seemed like a rock standing on a snow-covered plateau, untouched by the wind and impervious to the rain.
A chill ran down Baron Herman's spine as he quickly said, "Although I like men... I am not seeking death."
The consequences of provoking Kang Chen were more than he could bear, even though... such an exceptional man stirred feelings he could not ignore.
However, he dared only to entertain that thought privately.
Kang Chen asked Feng Nongtang, "What about Liancheng?"
He hadn't forgotten, what he came for tonight!
Feng Nongtang shook his head: "He hasn't arrived yet. Mr. Ya has a new interest lately, someone he really cherishes. I'm curious to know, what kind of woman can make Mr. Ya so protective..."
