After lunch, Ye Tianlong, accompanied by his two bodyguards, Yuzhu and Xin Xiya, left the Eastern Governor's Office and headed towards Xihua Gate. He was there to find a deserter from his ranks—a high-ranking deserter—at the location given to him by a subordinate that morning.

Both Yuzhu and Xin Xiya were dressed as men. The petite Yuzhu resembled Ye Tianlong's page, while the voluptuous Xin Xiya looked like a handsome attendant.

"Where can an attendant be more attractive and popular with women than their master? Bringing Xin Xiya along was a huge mistake!"

The men, annoyed by the flirtatious glances directed at them, muttered incessantly, causing the two already striking women beside him to giggle. The men's anger was simple: the lustful glances of young women were directed at the imposter Xin Xiya, while some men with homosexual tendencies were drooling over the handsome page; no one paid him any attention.

For this man, the fact that beautiful young women wouldn't even glance at him was utterly unbearable.

Yu Zhu leaned closer to her master and whispered, "Young Master! It's all your fault for making us dress like this. Look at the way people are looking at us, it's so boring!"

Before Ye Tianlong could reply, Cynthia on the other side went even further, moving closer to Ye Tianlong and making a provocative gesture to those who were giving her disapproving looks, completely forgetting that she was dressed as a man.

Seeing the pity and confusion in their eyes, Ye Tianlong couldn't help but laugh. He suddenly strutted around with one arm around each woman, openly flaunting his presence in the marketplace, leaving behind a trail of broken glasses.

Only when they reached the alley entrance did Ye Tianlong release his arms from the two women. Yu Zhu, her pretty face flushed, stood behind him, using the act of adjusting her clothes to hide her embarrassment. She was both delighted and afraid of her master's audacity, because she never knew what this man would do next. But it was precisely this that created a strange sense of excitement.

Cynthia, who had never understood the true meaning of relationships between men and women, didn't seem uncomfortable at all. She stood gracefully beside Ye Tianlong, believing that whatever the man beside her did was perfectly acceptable.

Only when he was embracing the two women did Ye Tianlong truly appreciate Cynthia's fullness and softness, something he had never experienced with any other woman. He immediately recalled the flawless body Cynthia had displayed before him that day.

"When we get back, I'll find a chance to get my hands on Cynthia and see what the leader of the goddess warriors is like in bed

," Ye Tianlong thought to himself, glancing at Cynthia's radiant face. The goddess warrior leader beside him was completely unaware of her master's lustful thoughts, continuing to dutifully follow behind Ye Tianlong.

"Is this the alley?"

Ye Tianlong, regaining his composure, looked at the narrow road ahead and murmured to himself. He glanced at the road sign again; yes, this was "Wanghu Alley."

The alley was quiet and secluded, lined with verdant cypress trees. Following the flagstone path, Ye Tianlong and his companions walked to the end of the alley.

Suddenly, the view opened up before them. A small, exquisite shop stood before them, its signboard bearing the powerful characters "Linhu Ju" (Lakeside Residence).

"Linhu Ju" was small and somewhat old, but impeccably clean, suggesting the owner's refined taste.

Moreover, "Linhu Ju" faced the most famous "Jade Belt Lake" in the imperial capital, Esnia, so a winding corridor and elegant pavilion were built near the lake, complete with a comfortable seat. One could imagine that as night fell, guests would gather in the pavilion outside the shop, enjoying leisurely drinks with a few close friends, watching the moonlight, like a jade plate, and its shimmering reflection in the lake, bathed in the silvery glow of the sky—the ambiance would be truly enchanting.

It was already past noon, yet all seven seats in the shop were still full. What struck Ye Tianlong and his companions as odd was the quiet demeanor of everyone; everyone spoke in hushed tones, as if afraid to spoil the atmosphere.

Ye Tianlong immediately recognized the person he was looking for. This wasn't because of any particular skill, nor did he know the person beforehand; it was simply because the person's presence was exceptionally striking, suggesting that this person would be the center of attention in any situation.

Ye Tianlong gave Yu Zhu and Xin Xiya a wink, and the three of them entered the refreshing "Lakeside Residence."

"Excuse me, gentlemen, we are full!"

A lovely-looking waitress greeted them with a gentle voice.

"This shop has only female waitresses!" The quick-eyed man had already taken in the entire shop in a glance, and couldn't help but feel curious.

The shop was elegantly decorated, with a distinctly feminine atmosphere, and two female waitresses were moving about. There are female waitresses in hotels in the Fast Empire, but it's extremely rare for all of them to be women.

"Could this be a brothel?" The well-traveled man naturally assumed such a place. However, he quickly dismissed the idea, because from her tightly pressed eyebrows, prominent nose, and the way she walked, he knew the woman before him was a virgin.

"We're here to see him!" Yu Zhu pointed to the man sitting on the armchair in the corridor.

The waitress glanced at the handsome man and gave him a bright smile.

"So you're friends of Young Master Qingji!"

Ye Tianlong walked to Qingji's table and sat down opposite him without any hesitation.

"Aren't you bored drinking alone?"

Sitting next to Qing Ji, Ye Tianlong realized just how handsome this guy was. With sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips, and large ears, his face was as handsome as jade, enough to rival the likes of Yuna and Zhu Dejun. Moreover, Qing Ji exuded a faint scholarly air, perfectly blending gentleness and strength.

"May I ask who you are...?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Qing Ji's bright eyes. This man, whose appearance wasn't handsome but was quite pleasing to the eye, seemed completely unfamiliar. Why did his tone sound so familiar? Moreover, his sharp eyes immediately recognized the two people standing behind Ye Tianlong. Although dressed as men, they were both extremely beautiful women, and their skills were quite high. Who could be a man with two such attendants?

Ye Tianlong naturally picked up a wine cup, poured some wine to rinse it, and then casually splashed the wine into the lake.

"Hey, hey, this wine is very precious!" Qing Ji said with a pained expression before he could stop him.

"Oh, really?" Ye Tianlong nonchalantly poured himself a glass of wine. "What good wine could a little shop like this have?" He then downed the wine in one gulp.

"Excellent wine!" A sweet, mellow flavor washed over him, fragrant and smooth—a wine Ye Tianlong had never tasted before. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Qing Ji shook his head, sighed, grabbed the wine jug, added some to his own glass, and held onto it tightly, seemingly determined not to give Ye Tianlong another chance.

"Who are you? I don't think I've ever seen you before," Qing Ji began to dismiss him.

Ye Tianlong licked his lips, seemingly savoring the wine he had just tasted. His eyes fixed on Qing Ji, he said, "You took sick leave, yet you're here enjoying yourself. You're quite something!"

Qing Ji was taken aback, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes as he stared at Ye Tianlong. "You are…"

Ye Tianlong seized the opportunity to snatch the wine jug from his hand, poured himself another cup, and then smiled, "Now you know who I am, right?"

Qing Ji finally connected the rumored figure with the person before him.

"You're the newly arrived Eastern Governor?"

"That's right, I am Ye Tianlong!" Ye Tianlong calmly picked up his cup, took a sip, let the fragrant liquid swirl in his mouth a few times, and then slowly swallowed. This time, he was going to properly savor this wine he had never tasted before.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself, finding a place like this!"

Qing Ji couldn't fathom Ye Tianlong's intentions. Was he here to interrogate him?

He looked at Ye Tianlong and asked in a deep voice, "May I ask what brings you here, sir?"

"Naturally, I've come to invite you, my patient, to take up a post in the Eastern Governor's Office!" Ye Tianlong replied with a smile.

Qingji's gaze shifted to the lake, and he said softly, "Please forgive me, sir, I am truly ill. I only came here to clear my head."

"Is that so?" Ye Tianlong finished his wine in one gulp, then looked at the empty glass and said, "Regardless of what you think, I truly wish to ask you to return and lend me a hand in managing Esnia."

"There are plenty of talented individuals out there, why does sir need me?" Qingji looked at Ye Tianlong and said, "I am a dissolute man, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Ha, I'm never afraid of trouble!"

Ye Tianlong looked directly into Qingji's eyes and said sincerely, "Because I am also a dissolute man. Don't you know what they think of me? A lecherous rogue general! Come, be my deputy! We can show those guys what kind of things two dissolute men can do."

"How interesting, two dissolute men!" Qingji laughed, and he said, half-jokingly, "You know what? I don't like you. Because I'm jealous of you. How could a man like you win the favor of Miss Yu Fengwu!"

"Because when it comes to pursuing women, I'm better than you!" Ye Tianlong said shamelessly. He had already obtained the necessary information from Liu Qin'er, so he didn't show any particular expression to Qing Ji's words, which left the handsome man in front of him unsure of his opponent's background.

"Hahaha! How interesting!" Qing Ji laughed loudly, "What makes you better than me? Are you more handsome? Richer? More skilled? Or better at poetry and songs?"

Ye Tianlong smiled and shook his head at each of his claims.

After Qingji finished speaking, Ye Tianlong slowly said, "I pursue women with superior methods, not some bullshit conditions!"

Qingji was taken aback, staring at Ye Tianlong for a long time before exhaling and saying, "You are even more surprising than those rumors! However, I'm starting to like you." He gestured to a waitress in the distance, then lowered his voice and said, "Do you know why I like to stay here?"

Ye Tianlong smiled and said, "Of course, it's because of the wine here. Now I like it here too."

Qingji shook his head, then turned to the waitress who approached him and gave her a smile that made her swoon. "Please bring us another pot of wine and a plate of pastries."

The waitress smiled and left. Only then did Qingji turn to Ye Tianlong and say, "Have you noticed that there aren't any usual snacks to go with the wine on everyone's tables?"

After Qingji's reminder, Ye Tianlong realized that it was indeed the case. Not only did his table lack the usual snacks, but the other tables also lacked the common snacks found in ordinary taverns. Instead, they only had small and exquisite pastries.

"Because the owner here only sells homemade pastries and homemade wine," Qingji explained, noticing the confusion in Ye Tianlong's eyes. "And other guests aren't allowed to bring their own food and drinks."

"What a unique owner!"

"Yes, the owner is very unique!" A strange look flashed in Qingji's eyes. "If you don't make a reservation, you simply can't find a seat here!"

"Is it that popular?" Ye Tianlong asked, somewhat skeptical.

"Of course, because the pastries here are exceptionally delicious!" Qingji picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly.

"Really?" Ye Tianlong also promptly popped the last piece of pastry into his mouth. The small pastry melted in his mouth, filling it with a delicate fragrance, sweet but not cloying; its deliciousness amazed him.

"The owner only makes four baskets of pastries and supplies two jars of homemade wine each day. Once they're sold out, he closes the shop. Guests can sit here, but there's no one to serve them, and no food or drinks are provided."

"Such an owner is truly interesting!" Ye Tianlong said with a touch of longing. His curiosity about Qingji had been piqued. What kind of person would come up with such a rule?

"Oh, she's here!" Qingji said cheerfully.

Ye Tianlong turned his head and saw a woman dressed as a waitress carrying a tray of food. Her two long braids swayed rhythmically as she walked, which was truly captivating. However, upon seeing her appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It was a rather ordinary and unadorned face. In Ye Tianlong's words, her eyes were eyes, her nose was a nose, and there was nothing outstanding about her. If she walked down the street, no one would give her a second glance; she would simply be lost in the crowd. The only bright spot about this woman was the vitality and complexion of a young girl.

Could this waitress be the shop owner? What puzzled Ye Tianlong even more was that he noticed Qingji beside him staring intently at this woman, as if she were the most beautiful woman in the world. What was going on?

"Young Master Qingji, here's what you wanted!" The shop owner put down the food and said with a smile.

Ye Tianlong suddenly noticed that this woman was exceptionally beautiful when she smiled. Perhaps it was because her appearance was so ordinary that the contrast was so striking, instantly captivating anyone who saw her. This man, accustomed to beautiful women, was surprised to learn the power of a smile.

Qing Ji, who had been so eloquent and charming in front of Ye Tianlong, seemed to lose his composure, appearing somewhat strained as he said to the shop owner, "Thank you, Miss Wanzhen!"

"Ah, I see!" Ye Tianlong exclaimed, inwardly amazed. He smiled at Wanzhen and said, "I never imagined someone like Miss Wanzhen would be the owner of this shop!"

"Please forgive my poor eyesight, young master, I don't think I've ever seen this before," Wanzhen smiled gently. Even a man accustomed to stunning beauties couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart, because this smile, though ordinary, was the most captivating. It didn't evoke a sense of awe or concern about worthyness. Moreover, her attitude was as if she were talking to a neighbor, making people feel incredibly relaxed and at ease.

"Yes, this is my first time here!" Ye Tianlong answered honestly.

"I see, young master, you misunderstand!"

Wanzhen explained with a smile, "This shop is run by my father. He had to go out today, so I'm temporarily helping out."

At this moment, Qingji, who had regained his composure, said from the side, "Miss Wanzhen, Xiaoyu said you're looking for a book, is that true?"

Wanzhen turned to look at another waitress before saying, "Xiaoyu, really, so talkative."

"Then it's true!" Qingji said eagerly.

Wanzhen's face showed a thoughtful expression, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes, my father is also looking for this book, and this trip was also because of it."

"Oh, what kind of important book is it?" Qingji quickly asked.

"Actually, it's nothing much, you might even laugh if I told you," Wanzhen replied with a smile, "It's a lost cookbook, because someone said it was found in Qingzhou City, so my father wanted to go and see it."

After saying this, Wanzhen glanced at Ye Tianlong, who was looking at her with a presumptuous gaze. She felt that the man in front of her had an unusual domineering aura, which made her feel scared. Because of her unremarkable appearance, she had never been observed so openly by a man before. His gaze seemed to see right through her, making her feel, for a moment, as if she were standing naked before him.

A strange thought welled up in Wanzhen's mind: the farther away from this man, the better. This thought surprised even herself; why did she feel this way about a man she had just met?

Watching Wanzhen flee as if running away, Ye Tianlong couldn't help but chuckle. This woman was truly interesting; she actually ran away after being stared at.

Qingji, however, stared intently at Wanzhen's retreating figure, and after a long while, said to Ye Tianlong, "The reason I've been staying here all this time is because of this Miss Wanzhen!"

"What?" Although Ye Tianlong knew what was going on, he still feigned surprise. "There are plenty of women like her! With your talent, Young Master Qingji, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?"

Qingji shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "She rejected me!"

"What?"

This time, Ye Tianlong was genuinely surprised. Wanzhen would reject a fine young man like Qingji? Logically speaking, she should be throwing herself at him, yet Wanzhen is pushing such a man away—that's so strange!

Qingji continued, "Do you know? Wanzhen is the first woman since Miss Yu Fengwu to refuse my offer to marry her. Someone as talented and handsome as me, how could she be rejected! Hehe, the more she refuses, the more I want her, so I've been keeping her waiting here."

Ye Tianlong couldn't help but laugh three times inwardly, thinking, "What an idiot! He has such a good appearance, but when a woman says no, she often means yes." But thinking about it, it was a close call. This guy actually confessed his love to Yu Fengwu. Liu Qin'er hadn't made that clear; she only said Qingji was once Yu Fengwu's admirer. "

When I get back, I must interrogate that hateful woman properly. How dare she withhold information? I'll make her confess and beg for mercy!" Ye Tianlong secretly made this decision.

But now, he felt a pang of sympathy for this loser, so he said enthusiastically, "You could think of other ways, like trying to persuade Wanzhen through her father?"

Qingji glared at Ye Tianlong and said unhappily, "My lord, you're mistaken. I'm respecting Miss Wanzhen's own choice. Things like this require her consent!"

The man, having been rebuffed, chuckled dryly, then suddenly remembered the two women standing behind him. He didn't want them to look down on him, so he quickly nodded, "Exactly, exactly! One must respect the woman one loves!"

Qingji's spirits lifted, and he said, "Does my lord think so too?"

Ye Tianlong nodded vigorously, "That's right! I hate those who don't respect women the most. If I ever encounter one, I'll teach them a lesson!"

Qingji suddenly seemed to have encountered ... As if finding a kindred spirit, Qingji took Ye Tianlong's hand and said, "So you share the same thoughts as me, sir! How rare! I believe that women are born to be loved and respected by men, which is why I despise those self-important guys who only know how to toy with women."

Ye Tianlong nodded repeatedly, saying, "Young Master Qingji is absolutely right. Only when women are respected and loved by men will they become more and more beautiful and charming!"

Qingji exclaimed, "Well said! I am truly fortunate to have met a kindred spirit like you, sir!" He paused, then added, "No wonder you have won Miss Yu Fengwu's favor, sir. I truly admire your insight!" His tone had completely changed, unaware that their understanding of respect was quite different. Ye Tianlong respected and loved the beautiful woman he loved, while Qingji extended this respect to a broader sense.

The two men talked more and more congenially, as if they had known each other for a long time. This made Yuzhu, standing behind Ye Tianlong, both amused and annoyed; she really didn't know that two grown men would discuss such things together. To be honest, Ye Tianlong and Qing Ji's thoughts were completely different from the prevailing social norms at the time; even as women themselves, they had never considered these issues.

Qing Ji poured Ye Tianlong a cup of wine and said, "Lord Ye might find it strange that I would think of marrying Miss Wanzhen?"

Ye Tianlong picked up his cup, took a sip, and smiled, "Not at all. Every woman has her lovable qualities; it's just a matter of whether you've discovered them!"

Qing Ji sighed again, "Lord Ye is indeed extraordinary, able to utter such insightful remarks, which have enlightened me!" Then he picked up his cup and said, "Come, let me toast you, sir!"

After setting down his cup, Qing Ji sincerely said, "Lord Ye, don't let Miss Wanzhen's plain appearance fool you; she has superb culinary skills, a kind heart, and a gentle nature—truly a model for women!" He leaned closer and whispered, "Don't be fooled by the fact that we only offer these snacks; Miss Wanzhen's dishes are truly..." "Unparalleled in the world!"

Hearing this, the man, who had a great love for food, looked longingly at it and said, "If that's really the case, when can I taste Miss Wanzhen's cooking?"

Qingji said very proudly, "Miss Wanzhen has never cooked for anyone else except me. I think I'm the only one in the world who has tasted it once. Your chances are slim!"

Ye Tianlong thought to himself, "What are you so smug about? It's only once! I'll use some tricks to make that little Wanzhen cook for me every day. You'll be so happy then!" Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed inwardly, "Goodness, if that's the case, wouldn't I be able to get Wanzhen? That kid will be so angry he'll jump up and down!"

Countless thoughts raced through his mind, but he kept praising Qingji's ability, which made Qingji very happy.

After a pot of fine wine, the two became very good friends. Qingji agreed to serve as Ye Tianlong's deputy general and take care of his daily security affairs.

With their mission accomplished, the two men shifted their conversation to how to pursue women, exchanging tips and experiences.

It was truly unexpected that these two, who had just been seriously discussing how to respect women, were now arguing endlessly about who was the real expert at pursuing women. Yu Zhu, standing behind Ye Tianlong, was at a loss for words. She could only think to herself, "Are all men this strange?"

After arguing for a long time, neither would concede, and Qing Ji couldn't help but shout, "If you're really that good, why don't you try winning over Miss Wanzhen and let me see!"

"What?" Ye Tianlong's mouth gaped open wide enough to swallow two eggs.

"How was it?" Qingji, satisfied with his achievement, continued, "Do you dare to bet with me that if you can win over Miss Wanzhen within a month, then I'll acknowledge you as my boss, and I'll follow your lead without fail. If you can't, then you'll acknowledge me as your boss, hehe, and give me your position as the Eastern Governor, how about it?"

"Hey, Qingji, have you lost your mind?" Ye Tianlong also shouted rudely.

"It's alright," Qingji waved his hand magnanimously, glanced at Wanzhen who was busy in the shop, and said in a low voice, "Anyway, this is a fair competition. If you can win Wanzhen's heart, then I will wish her well, because you are also a man who knows how to cherish women. This is much better than Wanzhen falling into the hands of some other scoundrel. To be honest, if Wanzhen is won over by some clueless men, I will really be heartbroken."

Ye Tianlong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, "You rascal, you must be saying this because you think you don't have much of a chance, right?"

Qingji gave a wry smile. He said, "My lord, you're truly remarkable. I've tried everything, but I just can't win over Miss Wanzhen's heart. However, let me make it clear first, you can't use any forceful methods, or I'll turn on you!"

He had indeed seen no hope, so he wanted to see what kind of man could move Wanzhen's heart. He also thought that if Wanzhen really got Ye Tianlong's heart, he would have a good chance to experience her exquisite skills if he followed Ye Tianlong. That way, even if he couldn't have Wanzhen, if he could taste her cooking, he would have achieved most of his goal.

"Turn on me if you want? I'm not afraid of you!" he thought to himself, but then he realized that using force would be too shameful.

Ye Tianlong glared at him and shouted, "Would I be such a shameless person?" Yuzhu behind him thought to herself, "I don't think so." She knew her master; the methods he used on her and Liu Qin'er could also be considered a form of forceful coercion! They were simply enjoying the pleasure this man brought them.

Ye Tianlong, somewhat tempted, chuckled and tentatively asked Qing Ji, "Why don't you try to win her heart by catering to her tastes?"

Qing Ji laughed and said, "Of course I know those tricks! Let me tell you, I've already collected many of Wan Zhen's favorite recipes and presented them to her. So now I can enjoy more treatment than others. You know, no one else can drink such fine wine. The wine we're drinking now is Sanqing wine, brewed by Wan Zhen herself."

"I see!" Ye Tianlong immediately agreed to Qing Ji's suggestion. If a woman has a preference, there's always a way to win her over. And even just to enjoy these delicious foods and wines for free, it was worth the effort to win over Wan Zhen. Plus, being able to subdue a master like Qing Ji made it a worthwhile deal.
