Long Ming’s expression was dark. Xiao Ying’s appearance should have made him happy, but the violent tendencies within him were jumping instead.
This little vixen! Even though she had been disfigured, she was still so good at seducing men!
As the dance became more intense, Xiao Ying’s slender waist twirled even more agilely. She used her eyes to charm Long Ming, who was sitting at the host seat. She winked and curled her finger at him from time to him, and in response, Long Ming’s eyes darkened.
Seeing Long Ming’s darkening expression, Xiao Ying thought that he wanted her to change her target and please the other guests. She twisted her figure as she glanced at the other extinguished guests in the hall.
When she saw a certain man, her heart thumped rapidly. She instantly lost the beat, but it was fortunate that she was greatly experienced, so she managed to readjust her emotions quickly.
Careless people probably wouldn’t be able to see her slip up, but Long Ming and Qiao Yanze could tell.
The expressions of the two men instantly became slightly strange. Qiao Yanze stared at Xiao Ying’s face. She had a face veil and had put on makeup, so he couldn’t see her face properly. But her vixen-like eyes made him suspicious.
She really looked like Xiao Ying, no matter if it was her eyes or figure.
However, he had never seen Xiao Ying like this before. In his mind, Xiao Ying was innocent and shy. Although she had vixen-like eyes, she was untainted. Her eyes were bright and innocent and never so seductive looking.
However, on another thought, she was a cultivated assassin. It was natural for her to have many faces. They would definitely research their targets thoroughly. For a well-known playboy like him, he would have seen every sort of woman and would definitely only like the innocent and nice ones.
That was why she had disguised herself as that kind of a woman. Staring at the dancing woman, Qiao Yanze wasn’t attracted by her at all. All he could think of was Cen Xi.
If the woman dancing was Xiao Ying, did that mean Cen Xi was alive as well?
Suddenly, he thought of the figure hanging at the city gates. Could it be?!
Qiao Yanze suppressed his urge to go and find out the truth at the city gates as he stared intently at the dancing woman.
When Xiao Ying saw Qiao Yanze amongst the guests, she felt complicated. Qiao Yanze was the first man she had feelings for. For him, she even dared to go against Master Ba’s orders once.
After she remained luckily alive after Master Ba pushed her into the sea, she had suffered drastically. Her feelings for her had long disappeared with time.
When she finally saw him again, she only felt surprised and nostalgic. Her heart no longer fluttered or moved with him anymore.
She also knew that Qiao Yanze was the man that Xiao Xi liked. She understood that he hated her. But she couldn’t accept him killing her sister together with her.
While this was going on, Long Ming stared straight at Xiao Ying. Seeing her glance at Qiao Yanze from time to time, while Qiao Yanze also stared at Xiao Ying intently, his expression instantly turned ugly.
Once Xiao Ying was done dancing, Sachs was almost drooling.
“Your Majesty, can you get this beauty to take off her face veil? If she’s to my liking, I will be willing to work with you! How about you take 70% and I take 30%?”
Long Ming glanced at Xiao Ying, thinking that he would be able to see panic and nervousness in her eyes. But there wasn’t any. Her coy eyes even glanced towards Sachs.
This woman was born promiscuous.
Before Long Ming could say anything, Xiao Ying had taken off her face veil.
Seeing her properly, Sachs sucked in a cold breath.
Xiao Ying’s facial shape and features were extremely beautiful after makeup. She had put on a rose red color on her lips, while she drew a beautiful rose on the side of her injured face. The color was complementary to her lip color and no one would be able to tell that she had been injured if they didn’t know before.
Sachs was in a daze at the sight before him. Good lord, this woman was suffocatingly beautiful.
“Your Majesty, I just need a word from you. Can you give this beauty to me?” Sachs couldn’t wait to swallow Xiao Ying already.
Long Ming glanced at Xiao Ying. He was shocked by her beauty when she took off her face veil as well. He never thought that she would be able to make her ugly face look so beautiful.
However, he chuckled coldly in his mind after. She was a master of seduction, so she naturally knew how to show her best sides.
He took a sip of alcohol as his blue eyes turned redder. He squeezed out a word from his throat. “Sure!”
When he said it, he kept staring at Xiao Ying. He thought that he would see disappointment or sadness in her eyes, but there weren’t. Instead, she remained smiling. “I’ll go down to freshen myself while I wait.”
Long Ming almost lost control and kicked the table away.
…
Xiao Ying was brought to a room that received a guest.
Within five minutes after she arrived at the room, Sachs rushed over hurriedly, hugging into Xiao Ying like a hungry wolf.
Staring at the beautiful red rose on her face, he sniffed her smittenly as a flower-like fragrance filled his senses. He hugged Xiao Ying’s waist tightly. “Beauty, you smell so good!”
Sachs buried his face in the crook of Xiao Ying’s neck and slowly grew weaker after a while.
Xiao Ying pushed the man away. She kicked him several times, before taking out a cigarette and lighter from his pockets.
As she sat by the window and lit a cigarette, the man called out to her occasionally, immersed in his beautiful dream.
In her many years in the organization, Master Ba has asked her to seduce countless men. She had only managed to keep her body clean and untouched not because men didn’t touch her, but because she had her own secret. She had created a fragrance that was able to make men dream, living out their fantasies.
Tonight, when Long Ming asked her to go dance in the hall, she had already guessed that he might give her away to someone. She must put on makeup for the performance, so the castle’s butler had brought her to the dressing room. She saw several fragrances on the table, so she mixed the fragrances and applied it on the rose on her face.
As Xiao Ying was smoking, she didn’t know a tall figure was standing outside of the door. The figure’s expression was terribly dark as he heard Sachs’ voice.
Long Ming came over, after being unable to control himself. He thought that he would save her and let her off as long as she cried for help. But she didn’t. Instead, she had pleased the man inside rather well.
…
After his dream, Sachs fell into deep sleep. Xiao Ying had smoked several cigarettes before she threw the cigarette butts into a bag and went out with it.
She had just thrown the bag into a rubbish bin outside when someone grabbed her wrist hard.
“Yー” Xiao Ying looked up at the man that had grabbed her. Seeing the man’s handsome but cold face, Xiao Ying furrowed her eyebrows. “Young Master Qiao, what are you doing?”
Seeing that Xiao Ying had regained her senses, Qiao Yanze’s expression turned colder. “You still remember me? If you’re alive, is Cen Xi still alive?”
Xiao Ying threw Qiao Yanze’s hand away as her expression hardened. “You still dare mention my sister? Why did you implicate her into our matters? Are you very unhappy that we’re still alive? Let me tell you, Qiao Yanze, back then, apart from me, my substitute had hurt you as well!”
