I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1925 - 1927: What, Afraid to Come In?

Chapter 1925: Chapter 1927: What, Afraid to Come In?
"The construction blueprint of Emperor Yu."
Cai Xiao couldn’t help but be a bit surprised after hearing this: "You actually know about Emperor Yu?"
"Don’t bother with unnecessary matters. I only want to know whether you have it or not."
Seeing your serious expression, Cai Xiao also put aside other thoughts. She didn’t answer immediately but stared at you. After a while, Cai Xiao suddenly asked, "Who are you really? I want to know your true identity."
"Even if you know, it won’t do you any good." You were reluctant to tell Cai Xiao.
"I must know!" Cai Xiao’s attitude was very firm, "I really want to know what kind of man is able to stir my desire. I can tell you the truth, since birth, this is the first time I’ve been so intimately involved with a man. The construction blueprint of Emperor Yu is part of my dowry, even the King of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, can’t obtain it from me. Why should you?"
"The King of Jingzhou?" You couldn’t help but chuckle, "Just an old decrepit man who’s nearing his end. Does he deserve the title of ’King’? It doesn’t hurt to tell you, my name is Li Muyun."
"Li Muyun?" Cai Xiao was suddenly taken aback, "So it’s you!"
"Wow, I didn’t expect that even a lady like you knows my name."
"The name of the Beast of Xuzhou, like thunder to the ear, who wouldn’t know?" Cai Xiao never thought that the man in front of her, whom she did not dislike, was the one who fought against Cao Cao. She just couldn’t understand your reason for seeking Emperor Yu.
"Alright, it’s getting late. I don’t wish to disturb your rest. Please tell me about Emperor Yu’s blueprint." With that, you left the soft couch, stood before Cai Xiao, and cupped your hand out of courtesy.
Cai Xiao looked at you and suddenly giggled softly, "You’re certainly the extraordinary man the rumors speak of. I’ve heard you have seven beautiful wives; are they all of equal standing?"
Though you didn’t want to waste time, seeing that you needed help, you nodded patiently.
Clearly not wanting to let you go, and Cai Xiao being used to solitude, she naturally seized this fleeting opportunity: "I’m curious how you manage the relationships among these seven women."
"No need to manage, their relationship is very harmonious."
"Impossible, women are much more narrow-minded than you men think."
You shrugged, leaving it without a comment.
Cai Xiao was silent for a moment, staring directly at you: "You, do you really want Emperor Yu’s construction blueprint?"
You didn’t answer Cai Xiao’s question directly, just looked at her, your pupils showing a firm determination.
Nodding slowly, Cai Xiao stood up, "Follow me."
As Cai Xiao led you out of the room, the guards at the door didn’t react at all, as if you were just air to them. You found this rather surprising and asked the elegantly walking, snake-like Cai Xiao, "I see there are often strange men aboard this ship."
Cai Xiao suddenly stopped, slightly turned her head, and her beautiful profile made you feel a flutter in your heart. She gracefully raised her jade-like fingers, pointing at the water below, "Beneath the water, there must be two male corpses now, manservants given to me by officials along the way."
You frowned slightly but remained silent, waiting for Cai Xiao to explain. The corridor was dimly lit, illuminated by the flickering torches in soldiers’ hands. Cai Xiao leaned slightly on the rail, her seductive figure half-revealed, subtly compelling.
Cai Xiao’s smooth long hair was let down, and she tucked it behind her ear, revealing a delicate, jade-like ear. She parted her red lips: "So far, at least thirty handsome men have been thrown into the river off this ship. You know, these handsome men were all arranged by Liu Biao through officials along the route."
"That’s intriguing, I’ve never heard of any man willingly wearing a green hat in this world."
"Green hat?" Cai Xiao seemed intrigued by the new term.
You snapped back, "It’s a new term, don’t mind it."
"Indeed, a ’green hat’, huh. That old man would be kind-hearted if that were true. For years, he’s wished for my death at every moment, and now near his end, he certainly wouldn’t let me live in this world." Cai Xiao casually spoke a line, revealing hidden secrets to you, and in the process, complicating your once simple thoughts.
Seeing the frown on your face, Cai Xiao giggled and continued walking.
Her long robe fluttered, revealing her bewitching figure beneath. You finally understood why Cai Xiao had Cai Mao train a thousand female guards, as this woman was the source of temptation, leaving men defenseless before her.
Cai Xiao took you down to the fourth layer, winding through a complex terrain. After taking a circuitous route, Cai Xiao stopped in front of a room and pushed the door open. You didn’t follow her inside, partly fearing losing control, and partly wary of traps. You couldn’t trust merely Cai Xiao’s words, knowing that any woman like her was extremely dangerous.
After entering, Cai Xiao’s voice, unclear yet inviting, emerged, "What, afraid to come in?"
You chuckled, "Indeed, I’m afraid I can’t resist Madame’s allure and might find myself thrown into the river, becoming a grievance spirit in the water."
Cai Xiao released an enticing laugh from within, soon the room lit up. From the entrance, the room appeared much smaller than those above, yet seemed spacious for a bedroom, with exquisite internal decorations.
"This is merely a lady’s chamber. I didn’t expect the renowned Master of Xuzhou, a man who battles millions, to hesitate stepping into a lady’s chamber, truly a joke on you." Cai Xiao seemed intent on luring you in, but the more she did, the less likely you were to fall for it.
"I think I’d rather not, as there’s a difference between men and women. If Madame genuinely wishes to associate with me, let Emperor Yu be the condition. Anything I can do for you, I certainly won’t refuse." You put on a serious expression, knowing you couldn’t be careless at this moment. Despite not fearing a trap, Cai Xiao’s actions were too enigmatic, unlike those of a normal woman.
Cai Xiao let out another light laugh, this time with less charm and more bitterness in it.
"Tsk, you women are really troublesome!" It’s rare for someone with your temperament to be this patient, but you’re not one to linger, so you stride in decisively, addressing Cai Xiao, "Lady Cai, Miss Cai, if you have something to say, just speak plainly, stop beating around the bush!"
