[Fantasy] The Rogue Landlord (Complete) - Chapter 17

Chapter Two: Bloodshed and Calamity.

Lin Ziyan realized she had gone too far, and smiled sheepishly, sticking out her tongue shyly. Her charm was mixed with a touch of girlish innocence, making her adorably innocent.

Xu Ping, who rarely went shopping, chatted with her while watching the captivating woman's happy expression. He felt a surge of joy, and beyond his physical desires, he naturally developed a fondness for her.

The man was tall and handsome, the woman mature and alluring. Their presence on the street naturally attracted many eyes, especially when Lin Ziyan danced with joy, her ample breasts swaying up and down, making the men's mouths water. This made Xu Ping so angry he wanted to gouge out their eyes.

Although she was radiant and captivatingly beautiful, there were no disturbances from thugs or hooligans. After all, this was the capital city; if a stone fell and killed ten people, at least one would be an official, and two more would have relatives in official positions. So, overall, the security was quite good, and they encountered no harassment along the way.

Watching her happy expression, Xu Ping quickly understood. The surge of true energy within him that day was likely influenced by another senior brother, mentioned by Chen Daozi, who was also proficient in the Battle Dragon Technique. If that were the case, he must have been in the capital at the time, but the other party didn't want to see him, so there was no need to force it. Xu Ping was simply very curious about the extent of his cultivation. As

they walked, the moon hung high in the sky, and the once bustling streets gradually quieted down. The vendors, having worked all day, were packing up, preparing to end their busy day.

Lin Ziyan still felt somewhat unsatisfied, but her body was delicate, and the evening wind was a bit chilly. She shivered unexpectedly from the cold. Seeing this, Xu Ping quickly took off his outer robe and draped it over her shoulders, leaving himself in only a thin garment.

"Your Highness, how can you dress like that? What if you catch a cold?" Lin Ziyan said, hurriedly removing her outer robe, still warm from Xu Ping's body, to put it back on him.

After a night alone together, they had crossed that line, and their intimacy felt natural. Although Lin Ziyan didn't yet know how to face her daughter, she was filled with sweetness and only wanted to cherish the moment.

"Don't call me Your Highness now, just call me husband. It's only right for a husband to care for his wife," Xu Ping said, pressing down on her outer robe as he pulled her into his arms through the thick fabric.

Lin Ziyan was filled with happiness. She leaned her head on Xu Ping's shoulder and obediently followed him. Stealing a glance at him, she blushed at the masculine scent wafting from him, her heart sweeter than honey.

They slowly walked to Anfu Teahouse, which was still open. Lin Ziyan immediately knew what Xu Ping was up to and became shy and fidgety, yet also nervously anticipating the night they would spend together.

"Hehe, heaven is on my side!" Xu Ping's touched expression stemmed from the fact that upon entering the teahouse, he saw Manager Xiao, whom he had met before. Chen Daozi had taken all his money, and he was penniless and couldn't return home. He certainly couldn't take her to the palace; his parents would surely punish him! Taking her to Zuixianglou was outrageous; Lin Ziyan, a respectable woman, would definitely refuse. The guest rooms at the back of the teahouse were the best option.

As soon as Manager Xiao saw Xu Ping, he immediately greeted him solicitously.

Although it was an inn, Xu Ping thought that he could only stay here for one night, and he figured Zhang Qinghe's place wouldn't be too bad.

Xu Ping subtly winked at Lin Ziyan, who was standing to the side and refusing to come forward. Manager Xiao responded with a slightly lecherous expression that only men would understand, and the two began their theatrical conversation:

"Manager, give me two of the best rooms."

"I'm sorry, sir, we only have one left! But that room is excellent, please make do!"

"Can't you see the two of us? Make room for me, I don't care how much it costs." Xu Ping said, pretending to reach for his money.

"I'm really sorry, sir. We really don't have any. It's the time when scholars are going to the capital for the imperial examinations, and all the rooms are full." Manager Xiao also played along, acting as if he really didn't have any, and that no amount of money would help.

"Hmph, I don't believe I can't find a place to stay with my money. Ziyan, let's go, let's find somewhere else!" Xu Ping pretended to be annoyed, walked to the side, grabbed his somewhat embarrassed future mother-in-law, and made as if he wanted to leave.

"Or, let's stay here!" Lin Ziyan spoke with a flushed face, her voice as low as a mosquito's buzz.

"No, it's a lone man and woman, you can endure it, but I don't have that kind of patience." Xu Ping still shook his head, but couldn't help but chuckle to himself, betting that she wouldn't bear to see him go without an outer garment and get cold for so long.

"I believe you." Lin Ziyan looked at Xu Ping affectionately. After all, the capital was indeed full of candidates taking the imperial examinations, and finding a room was difficult at this time.

Xu Ping then put on an expression that said he would listen to her and guarantee she wouldn't be disappointed. As soon as he turned around, he gave Manager Xiao a sly smile.

Manager Xiao immediately arranged the best room. Xu Ping ordered some side dishes and wine to liven things up, and the waiter diligently carried buckets of hot water into the room for the two to bathe. Xu Ping pulled the blushing beauty into the room and opened the door. The spacious room was nothing like a typical teahouse guest room. A large bed in the center of the room was neatly made up, and the marble table and chairs were luxurious yet understated. The entire room was decorated in a warm, light-colored style—in short, suggestive.

Damn it, this is definitely not a guest room; it's definitely the room Zhang Qinghe, that old gay man, used when he was having an affair with another woman's husband. Xu Ping looked around. This level of luxury was definitely not for ordinary guests. The mahogany bed alone could easily fit three or four people. Looking at the suggestive decor, he immediately identified Zhang Qinghe.

"Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen!" The waiter filled the large wooden bucket with hot water, speaking obsequiously to the two. Before leaving, he gave a suggestive smile, closed the door tightly, and blew out the corridor light.

"I'm going to sleep now." Lin Ziyan was acutely aware of what might happen that night. Although she had somewhat accepted the situation, she still felt the pace of things was a bit too fast.

"Don't rush, I've been playing all day, I'm covered in sweat! Let me wash up first!" Xu Ping pretended to be tired, stretched, and slowly took off his clothes and jumped into the wooden tub. Soaking in the hot water, he couldn't help but gasp in comfort.

"Good sister, help me scrub my back!" Xu Ping leaned against the tub, looking at the somewhat bewildered beauty, and said with a grin, "I'm covered in sweat, I'm used to having someone scrub me clean when I take a bath."

"Okay, okay! But you can't do anything reckless!" After hesitating for a while, Lin Ziyan finally made up her mind and went behind Xu Ping, picked up a damp towel, and began to scrub the man's thick back with slightly trembling hands.

"That feels good." Xu Ping let out a groan, like the kind of moan one makes when someone is moving, making Lin Ziyan extremely embarrassed. She kept her head away, not daring to look at Xu Ping's body.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Ziyan only wiped Xu Ping's back that was exposed above the water, not daring to touch any other part of his body. She never dared to look at Xu Ping, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Alright, you should wash up too." Xu Ping's tone was a little disappointed, but he didn't force her. He jumped out of the tub, wrapped a towel around his waist, and patted his wet hair while looking at Lin Ziyan, who was blushing like a young girl. He said gently, "Hurry up and wash, it'll be bad if you wait! The water's still hot!" As he spoke, he sat down on the chair by the bed and started eating snacks and drinking wine.

"Could you turn around?" After playing all day, Lin Ziyan was actually feeling a bit uncomfortable, but with Xu Ping watching, she was too embarrassed to take off her clothes and shower in front of him.

Xu Ping shrugged indifferently, turned his head away with a gentlemanly air, but his eyes were secretly glancing at the beautiful scenery behind him.

Although Xu Ping had his back to her, the thought of a man sitting next to her made Lin Ziyan's small hands tremble slightly. After all, she was about to present her body to this man again. She steadied herself and slowly removed her outer garment and skirt, her movements gentle yet seductive.

Lin Ziyan was left only in her close-fitting bodice and underpants, her fair skin instantly exposed to the air. The small emerald green bodice could barely conceal her large breasts. Covering her private parts, and seeing that Xu Ping didn't turn around, she still hesitated, stepping her jade-like legs into the tub. She submerged herself completely before slowly removing her undergarments, hanging her wet underwear on the side of the tub.

Xu Ping had originally expected to see her proud white breasts and alluring pubic hair, but he hadn't expected the beautiful woman to remove her undergarments only after entering the water. He almost wanted to turn around and give her a serious re-education. However, her clothes were already on the ground, and her underwear was soaking wet. She definitely wouldn't be wearing clothes after washing, and thinking of this, Xu Ping felt a sense of relief.

"Your Highness, I'm finished washing. May I put out the candle?" Lin Ziyan said, her face flushed. While washing, her entire body, except for her head, was submerged in water, so no one could see a glimpse of her skin. But the deep cleavage peeking out from the water was enough to make one want to peek right there.

"Hmm, no problem." Xu Ping immediately blew out the candle, but unfortunately, he couldn't see the alluring sight of this beauty emerging from her bath. He'd already pretended to be innocent for so long; he didn't mind another pee after he'd finished. He'd endured it for now.

"I'm going to sleep now." Lin Ziyan grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself in the darkness. After speaking, she lowered her head, spread out the quilt, and crawled inside, but she went straight to the inside, leaving Xu Ping with a large space.

"I'm sleepy too, let's sleep!" Xu Ping yawned, his hard member still erect, and then slipped into bed.

As soon as he lay down, Xu Ping eagerly reached his arms over the beautiful woman's shoulders and hugged her tightly. The skin felt cool and smooth as ice, and her body seemed to exude a natural fragrance, like an aphrodisiac. He couldn't resist pressing his entire body against hers, his hard member pressing against her buttocks.

"Good sister, the towel is wet, it's not good to put it in bed." Although Xu Ping wanted to forcefully pull off the towel to enjoy the beautiful woman's mature body, he restrained himself, gently blowing warm breath into her ear to entice her.

"Mmm." Lin Ziyan only gave a soft "Mmm," without speaking, but Xu Ping felt her face was burning hot, as if on fire, a stark contrast to the temperature of his shoulders.

However, since the beauty had no objections, he naturally used his lecherous speed, easily untying the towel and tossing it away, leaving the two naked. Xu Ping couldn't wait to press his hot body against the beautiful woman's cool, delicate body. The moment he touched her, Lin Ziyan trembled and instinctively tried to pull away, but Xu Ping quickly pulled his hands away from her, and the two were immediately pressed tightly together.

"Sister, you're so beautiful!" Xu Ping said, licking his future mother-in-law's smooth neck, his hands also reaching forward to grab her full, large breasts, kneading them wantonly.

"Ah...didn't you say you'd behave?" Lin Ziyan had been prepared for this, opening her arms to let Xu Ping play with her proud breasts, but her words were not what she truly felt, her voice trembling slightly.

"I've been more obedient than this." Xu Ping kissed her smooth neck as he rolled over and pinned her beneath him. His breathing was heavy as he surveyed the beautiful woman beneath him. Although he had seen her before, he was once again captivated by her large, full breasts. He couldn't resist reaching out and touching them, kneading the firm mounds of flesh while exclaiming, "So big! They feel so good!"

Lin Ziyan shyly closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling. After

a while, Xu Ping couldn't resist starting to nibble on her full breasts, sucking on her delicate, bright red nipples. His hands roamed over her body, and the room was soon filled with Lin Ziyan's slightly suppressed breathing.

"We... this isn't right!" Lin Ziyan murmured softly, writhing under Xu Ping's caresses, her voice weak and sounding more like an aphrodisiac.

"What's wrong with that? We're mutually attracted!" Xu Ping was almost going berserk. He had imagined his beautiful mother-in-law's amazing figure, but seeing it perfectly now was completely different from seeing it through her clothes. Her breasts alone were enough to drive any man crazy. He fondled her incredibly large breasts while panting, "Good sister, I want to drink your milk!" He

then sucked on her nipple.

"Ah! No... don't do that. It's so itchy..." Lin Ziyan giggled and twisted her body, shyly resisting, but her body showed no resistance.

Xu Ping was too lazy to waste words at this point. Enjoying the beautiful woman before him was the priority. While teasing her body, he observed her expression with his eyes, which had adjusted to the darkness. Her

exquisite face was flushed, and her mouth was involuntarily open. Her small, rosy lips trembled slightly, and her beautiful, aroused eyes were filled with tears, glistening even more in the darkness.

That expression alone was enough to drive anyone wild. The enormous breasts before her, too big to be grasped with both hands, could drive any man insane. Xu Ping couldn't help but spit some saliva onto his already throbbing erection, then knelt down on her lower abdomen, squeezing and thrusting his hands against her breasts. It would be a waste not to play with such massive breasts.

"Ah! This…this…" Lin Ziyan's traditional mind was completely unfamiliar with this. Seeing Xu Ping pinching her breasts and gripping that frighteningly large thing, thrusting back and forth, she opened her eyes and was immediately speechless with embarrassment.

"Hehe, good sister. This is just a little pleasure during lovemaking," Xu Ping said slowly, enjoying the friction with his mouth. Such large breasts that didn't sag and were so elastic were truly rare.

"It's so...so embarrassing." Her breasts were being tightly gripped, and seeing Xu Ping straddling her chest in such an obscene position, Lin Ziyan felt a strange, inexplicable pleasure mixed with embarrassment. Her lower body seemed to be getting increasingly wet.

Xu Ping thrust in and out in this position, his testicles rubbing against her smooth abdomen. This feeling was different from ordinary sex; it had a different kind of pleasure. Unable to resist the wave of pleasure washing over her chest, Lin Ziyan reached out and gently stroked Xu Ping's legs, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, her eyes growing more and more hazy.

Xu Ping continued the breast play for a while, then, feeling it was too dry and not very comfortable, he stopped and lay down beside her, kissing her neck while his hand began to move towards the alluring area between her legs.

"Mmm, stop. It's so itchy!" Lin Ziyan giggled and squirmed, trying to avoid Xu Ping's mischievous tongue sliding down her neck.

"Damn it, this can't be real!" Xu Ping finally managed to part her legs, and when he touched her most alluring spot, although he could feel his beautiful mother-in-law trembling with passion, that area was so wet that even the sheets were soaked.

There couldn't be this much water! Xu Ping froze, pulled his hand away, and saw that besides the glistening fluid, there was also a considerable amount of blood on his hand, a crimson stain.

Ignoring the passionate atmosphere he had painstakingly created, he got up under Lin Ziyan's questioning gaze, turned on the light, and then went back to pull back the covers. Looking at the sheets, he almost fainted. The beautiful woman's crotch was covered in blood, some of it even flowing onto the sheets.

"Damn it, this can't be done like this!" Xu Ping couldn't help but curse.

Lin Ziyan had already closed her beautiful eyes, nervously offering her body to her lover's caresses, somewhat fearfully anticipating Xu Ping's large member invading her. Suddenly, she heard him utter a vulgar curse. Opening her eyes, she saw his body turn cold, and he was now lying

between her legs, staring at her private parts with hatred, looking utterly dejected. Despite feeling incredibly ashamed, Lin Ziyan couldn't help but sit up and look. She realized her period had started unnoticed, and her crotch was covered in menstrual blood. Her face flushed even more than when she had prepared for the invasion. In this era, people considered menstruation a dirty matter, and the man's unabashed gaze was both blissful and worrying, potentially bringing bad luck to Xu Ping.

"Your Highness! This servant… just got my period," Lin Ziyan whispered, looking at Xu Ping still kneeling between her legs, her face filled with shame and unease, wondering if Xu Ping would blame her for this unclean act.

"I know," Xu Ping replied through gritted teeth, watching the beautiful woman's alluring, sexy vulva stained red and slowly oozing blood.

All his scheming and sweet talk throughout the day had finally created this opportunity, only to have it so easily ruined by this thing. Thinking of this, Xu Ping wished she wouldn't bleed; he'd cut his own wrists and bleed himself.

Even though he couldn't do it, watching was still interesting. Xu Ping carefully observed her, secretly marveling at the sheer allure of Lin Ziyan's lower body. Her plump labia were a vibrant red, and although her pubic hair was thick, it didn't look dirty at all, but rather exuded a captivating charm. Even her inner thighs were a fair pink, looking remarkably clean.

"Slave, could you clean me up first?" Seeing Xu Ping still staring intently at her private parts, Lin Ziyan, though already determined to submit, still felt embarrassed by a man staring so directly at her lower body. Her voice was barely audible.

"Hmm." Xu Ping said, sitting up with a face as dejected as if his wife had died or he had lost money.

"I'm sorry, I cannot serve you tonight." Lin Ziyan gently took a towel and wiped her lower body clean. She put on her underpants, which she had already taken off. Seeing Xu Ping's deadpan expression, she found it amusing and gently hugged him from behind. Her breasts pressed against his broad back, and her pretty face was full of apology as she said, "Your Highness, please don't be angry, okay?"

"I...I want to cry!" Xu Ping almost burst into tears. He had waited so many years to finally get this chance. It was as if heaven was against him. Why did he have to have his period at this time? Now the beautiful woman was hugging him apologetically. Didn't she know how stimulating it was to feel those soft breasts pressing against his body?

Damn it, now he finally understood what that scumbag Chen Daozi meant by "bloodshed but no misfortune." "Fuck it! Getting my period at this crucial moment is like getting stabbed when I'm about to ejaculate. You old charlatan, why didn't you just explain yourself clearly!"

Xu Ping cursed furiously. "Chen Daozi, you old bastard, if I catch you now, I'll beat you into a nun! I'll fuck you, I'll fuck you thoroughly!

" "Don't be like this, it's my fault!" Lin Ziyan, seeing Xu Ping's gloomy face, rested her head on his back, her arms tightly wrapped around his broad chest, and said cautiously with remorse, "If I had known I was having my period today, I definitely wouldn't have let you see this filth." "How

could I not do this? I almost wanted to wash my silver spear with blood." Xu Ping, maintaining his deadpan expression, turned his head and pulled the beautiful woman's small hand to his hard, slightly aching penis.

"Is it really that uncomfortable?" The beautiful woman asked shyly, pressing her burning, enormous penis, surprised by its size. Compared to that, her deceased husband was just a child.

"It's more uncomfortable than death." Xu Ping collapsed weakly onto the bed, half-dead, as if all his strength had been drained.

"This..." Lin Ziyan was at a loss, pressing her enormous penis, which infuriated Xu Ping. The old society was terrible; sex education was so inadequate. Didn't they get tired of always using traditional positions for sex? Damn it! They didn't even know how to do oral sex or something; it wasn't difficult.

"Good sister, please use your mouth to relieve me!" Xu Ping thought for a moment and helplessly guided her.

"How? How do I do it?" Lin Ziyan asked blankly, holding the large penis, her large breasts bouncing with her movements. Her mature face was full of innocent curiosity, making Xu Ping almost want to run a red light.

"Just like licking an ice pop," Xu Ping said, settling for second best. Since he couldn't completely possess her, having her serve him with her cherry-like lips couldn't be too much to ask, right? However, the beautiful woman still looked bewildered, unsure of what to do. Her hand, holding his penis, didn't even know the basics of stroking it.

"Master, Master. It's time to get up,"

Xu Ping said helplessly, about to continue his seduction, when someone knocked on the door at that inopportune moment. Qiao'er called anxiously from outside. Damn it

, Xu Ping's face turned black with anger. This was truly excruciating! Chen Daozi, you bastard, talking to you always brings a bunch of trouble. I can't even have sex, and now someone interrupts me when I want to give you oral sex! I'll fuck you!

"Fuck you! I'll fuck you completely!" Xu Ping was so angry he was about to have a brain hemorrhage. Was this even a human life? It was only a few minutes past the hour, and someone was already coming to urge him to his death. Besides, he was at an inn, not at home. Couldn't God just let him off the hook?

Upon hearing Qiao'er's voice, Lin Ziyan hurriedly released her hand from his penis, pulled the covers over herself, and crawled inside. She glanced at Xu Ping apologetically and embarrassedly, then pretended to be asleep.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping felt like he was going crazy. Naked and furious, he jumped off the bed. He landed heavily on a chair, almost breaking it, and shouted irritably, "What is it? Come in and talk!" Qiao'er

then carefully pushed open the door. Only then did Xu Ping realize he had forgotten to lock it. The little witch peeked in and saw a woman lying on the bed. She walked over to Xu Ping with a grin, completely disregarding the man's naked buttocks and erect penis. She subtly made a "done" gesture, her face full of wicked, suggestive laughter.

Xu Ping was in no mood for that. If he were really done, would he have time to open the door? He couldn't help but give her the middle finger, his face contorted with rage.

"Master, it's time to go to the examination hall soon." Xiao Mi then came over carrying a tray with a set of formal crown prince robes on it. She seemed a little unhappy to see Xu Ping naked, and spoke very softly. "

Going to the examination hall, these people don't even check the time! It's not even dawn yet! What are they going to do so early? Go to hell! They could use that time to fuck themselves a few more times, damn it!" Xu Ping didn't intentionally want to get angry at Xiao Mi, he was just really annoyed and couldn't help but vent his frustration.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why it's so early." Xiao Mi's face was full of grievance, but she still went along with Xu Ping.

"I didn't mean to say that."

Looking at Xiaomi's pure and lovely face, her pitiful appearance seemed to have reddened. Xu Ping sighed as well. What was the point of venting his anger on everyone he was inexplicably throwing a tantrum? He helplessly gestured that it was none of her business!

"Oh, so Auntie has her period!" Qiao'er suddenly noticed a red spot on the bed sheet and finally understood what had happened. As soon as she said this, Lin Ziyan's ears, which had been pretending to be asleep, immediately turned red.

Xiaomi knelt down between Xu Ping's legs, took the initiative to grasp Xu Ping's hard penis, glanced at it shyly, and then squatted down to take the head into her mouth. She licked it with her tongue while holding the shaft and began to stroke it up and down.

"Phew, Xiaomi's oral skills are even better now, it feels so good!" Xu Ping gasped and encouraged Xiaomi. Fortunately, he had this considerate little maid, at least she could give him a blowjob.

"Auntie, get up and watch if you want!" Qiao'er had seen Xu Ping making love with other women many times, so she didn't feel ashamed at all. However, she noticed Lin Ziyan shift her body slightly and peek over, and immediately called out mischievously.

Xiao Mi, ignoring the other people watching, continued to vigorously suck and swallow the large penis that was almost too big to hold in one hand. Qiao'er watched with a grin, while also glancing back at Lin Ziyan, whose ears were burning as she hid under the covers listening to the wet sounds.

Half an hour later, as Xiao Mi's movements became deeper, Xu Ping felt he was about to climax. He held Xiao Mi's head and thrust his hips, quickly pumping in and out of her mouth. Caught off guard, Xiao Mi was overwhelmed by the thrusts; each time, Xu Ping roughly hit her throat, and glistening saliva dripped from her mouth, forming bright, thin strands.

A tingling sensation came from the tip of his penis, and Xu Ping quickened his movements, making Xiao Mi's eyes water. After a spasm, he finally released a large amount of semen that had been pent up all night into Xiaomi's mouth. Xiaomi couldn't take it anymore, and the milky white, sticky semen started to flow out from the corners of her mouth. After his pleasure, Xu Ping's legs felt a little weak. He pulled his penis out of her mouth and sat down on a chair, panting heavily.

Looking back, he saw Qiao'er staring at his now slightly limp penis with interest, the head still covered in Xiaomi's saliva and his own remaining semen.

"Damn it, what are you looking at? How many times have you taken advantage of me, you little brat?" Xu Ping couldn't help but shake his penis and laugh and scold Qiao'er. Now that he had vented all the anger he had been holding back all night, his mood improved a lot.

"I'm happy to, it's not like I haven't seen it before!" Qiao'er said indifferently, turning her face away. Relying on Xu Ping and Zhao Ling's doting, she always had this mischievous and playful appearance, so cute that it was impossible to be angry with her.

"Master, let me clean you up." After coughing, Xiao Mi swallowed the semen in her mouth, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and knelt between Xu Ping's legs. She lifted his large penis and carefully cleaned it with her tongue, swallowing everything until there was nothing left on his penis except her own saliva.

"Master, you need to change your clothes." After cleaning herself up, Xiao Mi looked at the slightly brightening sky outside and said with a mixture of happiness and nervousness on her face. As a palace maid, being able to serve her master and have such intimate contact was a great satisfaction for her.

Xu Ping looked at the bulky crown prince robes and felt a headache coming on. He waved his hand and said, "We can wear them when we get there. It's better to wear casual clothes in the market now."

"Exactly!" Ji Qiao'er said playfully from the side, "What if the dignified crown prince goes out in the market without hundreds of attendants? What if he's mistaken for an imposter? Isn't that right, Master?"

"Shut up!" Xu Ping affectionately pinched her little nose. Looking at the delicate and lovely little girl in front of him, he couldn't even get angry.

"Then let me help you put on your clothes first!" Xiao Mi said, picking up the clothes Xu Ping had worn yesterday and helping him put them on one by one.

After the sounds of swallowing, water, and lewd moans behind her subsided, Lin Ziyan felt even more itchy and couldn't help but rub her legs together. When she heard the sound of dressing behind her, she suddenly felt the blanket being pulled back, felt a chill on her body, and was picked up.

Xu Ping chuckled and scooped up his mother-in-law, whose face was flushed, gently kissing her beautiful face. He said tenderly, "Sweetie, I'm going to take care of business now. You rest for a bit, and Qiao'er will take you home after you've had your sleep."

Lin Ziyan almost melted at the tender kiss, but being pulled from the covers and feeling a chill, she came to her senses to see Xiaomi looking at her with envy and jealousy, while Qiao'er wore a playful expression. Following their gaze downwards, she realized her upper body was completely exposed, and the two girls were staring intently at her breasts. She screamed, broke free from Xu Ping's embrace, and hid back under the covers.

"Haha, Qiao'er, you stay here and watch! I'll take your aunt home when she wakes up. Xiaomi, let's go." Xu Ping chuckled and left the room where they had spent the night in an ambiguous atmosphere.

As dawn broke, Xu Ping, dressed in his finest attire, appeared in the Ministry of Personnel's examination hall and sat in the main hall, a large screen blocking the students' view. "

Damn it, this outfit is as cumbersome as armor," Xu Ping cursed, trying to maintain a dignified posture. Although it was the cool of early morning, wearing so many layers was still quite hot.

Seeing Xu Ping sweating, Xiao Mi quickly offered him cool tea and fanned him. Several examiners were also busily introducing the many talented individuals in this year's examinations, their teachers, and other such tedious topics.

Although they all wore serious and upright expressions, it felt like being surrounded by a swarm of incessantly chattering flies. Xu Ping really wanted to grab a swatter and kill them all; just listening to their words, he knew without a doubt that some of them were definitely people with connections!

The proctor, seeing that the time was up, immediately shouted in a voice almost like a rooster, "Candidates, enter!"

The students, who had been waiting outside the examination hall all night, entered in the faint morning light, undergoing inspection as they stood in four neat rows before kneeling and loudly proclaiming, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

"Heh, most of this year's candidates come from prestigious families; they have great potential!" a thin examiner with a goatee remarked. Xu

Ping glanced at him, already planning how to deal with him after the exam. This guy, he really didn't know if he'd gone mad from studying or what. Everyone in the capital knew that the Crown Prince's residence and the Ministry of Rites were at odds, and this idiot actually recommended those stubborn old students? Was he looking for trouble?!

"Not so!" Another middle-aged man, who had been keeping a straight face, jumped out and said with a hint of contempt, "This is the first imperial examination of our dynasty, intended to select talented people. Look at these people, they're all mixed up. A few look talented, but... most of them look wealthy."

Even if he hadn't said it, Xu Ping had noticed that many people were taking the exam alone, but they were accompanied by dozens of attendants, and it seemed that there were more wealthy people among them. However, all the examiners tacitly understood the situation, and none of them dared to speak so bluntly. Xu Ping couldn't help but give him an approving look, and asked with a smile, "Then according to you, it seems that few of these people are useful!"

"Yes!" This guy was absolutely straightforward, completely oblivious to the darkening faces of the others, and continued to speak to himself, "It's not that I'm exaggerating, but there are always injustices on the day of the imperial examinations."

After saying that, he glanced at the others, sneered, and said, "However, sometimes it's necessary to whitewash the situation." As

soon as these words came out, the faces of the others changed rapidly, and some even broke out in a cold sweat.

Xu Ping took it all in. It seemed this guy wasn't completely irrational; his words were quite premeditated. He waved for Xiao Mi to leave, then asked with a somewhat unfriendly expression, "Then tell me, what other shady things are hidden beneath this peaceful facade?"

"This humble subject doesn't know!

" "What's your name?" Xu Ping asked with interest. Was this arguing in front of so many colleagues an attempt to gain favor, or genuine indignation at injustice? Either way, he was a man of courage.

"This humble subject is Li Daonian, without rank or position, merely serving here on orders!"

Li Daonian. Xu Ping looked at this perpetually stern-faced man and felt a strange familiarity. The name seemed familiar. After a moment's thought, he suddenly remembered.

Li Daonian was originally a minor magistrate in Cangzhou. During a drought and crop failure, he led refugees in looting merchants who had hoarded grain. Later, because the incident escalated unintentionally, some wealthy families had everything except their grain looted. They were immediately sent to the capital for questioning, but the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel never punished them, simply ignoring the matter.

"Li Daonian, there seem to be about four hundred students now!" Xu Ping chuckled mischievously and slowly asked, "In your opinion, how can we weed out those charlatans?"

The other proctors, seeing Xu Ping respond, quickly tried to speak, but were silenced by Xu Ping's glare.

Li Daonian pondered for a moment, then sneered, "Have each of them recite the Three Character Classic from memory. Even the most mediocre scholar will understand it. Those who are ignorant will naturally reveal themselves."

"Too simple!" Xu Ping frowned. The Three Character Classic—not to mention these students, many children know how to recite it.

Li Daonian's face was somewhat vicious. He grunted and said seriously, "Your Highness, some children can indeed recite it! However, those people, besides eating, drinking, and having fun, have no time to learn such superficial things. Most of them have prepared materials in advance to cope with the imperial examination. Although the Three Character Classic is easy, it's hard to guarantee that some people can't even recite this."

Xu Ping secretly observed and found that some of the proctors' faces were a bit green, and they were all full of worry. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Approved.

" "Your Majesty, I obey!" Li Daonian respectfully responded and walked away.

"Your Highness, I think it's inappropriate." As soon as he left, a group of proctors immediately jumped out to object. The one with the goatee was the first to attack, looking like he was worried about the country and the people, saying, "This is the first imperial examination of our court. How can it be a joke? This Li Daonian is really too absurd. Which of the more than four hundred candidates is not an outstanding person from all over the country? Isn't this trivial question just wasting time?

" "Oh," Xu Ping said, then leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes to rest, and ignored them.

The proctors, seeing this, knew further words were pointless. They exchanged glances and excused themselves to help. Perhaps they were in such a hurry to retain as many people who had offered bribes as possible!

Xu Ping couldn't help but think about this Li Daonian. He seemed mediocre at best, his only memorable trait being his audacity in allowing refugees to loot, which was why he had offended those high-ranking officials and been sent to the capital. Perhaps the famine was so severe that they hadn't had time to punish him.

But that didn't make sense either. Not punishing him was one thing, but why send him to proctor the exam?

Xu Ping pondered. Perhaps his father considered him a talent and had placed him there. A little thought made sense. Someone like him, always frustrated and unappreciated, wouldn't be of any interest to Ji Long and his ilk, a mere poor county magistrate! So his current situation should be quite innocent; he shouldn't have any messy connections.

Xu Ping chuckled. It seemed Li Daonian wasn't so rigid after all. He'd see if his idea of testing the Three Character Classic would work. If not, then his father had misjudged him.

As soon as Li Daonian announced the Three Character Classic test, the examination hall erupted in commotion. However, most people, aside from their confusion, didn't say much, obediently spreading out their paper and pens and hastily reciting it from memory.

Due to the large number of participants, even though it was just a short recitation, it didn't end until midday.

"Your Highness, sixteen people simply couldn't write it!" Li Daonian said smugly, holding a booklet. "Some people can't even hold a brush properly. It's laughable that such people are selected as candidates from various regions."

His sarcastic remarks made everyone else's faces change. Xu Ping didn't say much, tossing the booklet aside without even glancing at it, his face ashen. He said, "We'll discuss this after the exam. Invite all the successful candidates in."

Li Daonian had expected Xu Ping to make a big deal out of it, but instead, he only said a few words lightly. He felt a little disappointed, but considering that his master's methods were always unpredictable, he kept his composure and went out to summon the candidates.

The remaining three hundred-plus people filed in, knelt to pay their respects, and then fell silent. They all seemed somewhat nervous, but some looked more expectant. Of course, they didn't dare to look up and peek behind the screen; they were all so nervous they barely dared to breathe.
