"Master, are you watching me?" Lin Qingcheng asked to an empty room.
She was in the house master quarters of the House of Paradise. It was a place that even her most senior disciples could not enter, let alone servants. But with her master, she could never be sure.
She looked around furtively and then down at herself. She wore nothing but the form-fitting Golden Serpent Robe. It stuck to her like a layer of second skin. Her every curve was on display, even the bumps on her nipples.
Her fingers glided against the cool, metallic surface. Following her spiritual will, the Golden Serpent Robe opened from the front and she was able to take it off. Peel was a more accurate word and it took far longer than ordinary clothes. When it was finally off, she felt chilly and vulnerable.
She looked around again, half expecting her master's shadow to pop out of the corner. Seeing nothing, she put the robe inside her spatial bag and stepped in front of a full-length mirror. Her naked figure was reflected.
Lin Qingcheng was not too tall but not too short either. According to the sensibilities of the people of her hometown, she was just right. She was not skinny but definitely not fat. She had developed a bit of muscle tone from practicing martial arts and cultivating every day. However, she was far from the lithe muscular figure of Xu Lanyi.
She patted her flat stomach and then tilted her waist to examine her small but round buttocks. They were perfectly bouncy and shapely. At this angle, her breasts were also on display. They were a little on the small side but she liked them. They were the perfect size for her master's hands and fit snugly into his palm.
Thinking about him, she felt a flash of heat in her lower stomach and she couldn't help but blush. She quickly banished his face from her thoughts and returned to her task. She opened her spatial bag and took out a few sets of clothes. They were all made of light silk and the finest fabrics. Each item was intimate. Aside from being colorful, they were thin and semi-transparent.
As the madam of a brothel, she was witness to countless types of daring outfits. Some were for displaying a woman's beauty in public while others were for enticing men's hearts and wallets in private. From her disciples, she had developed a hobby of collecting sensual clothes that attracted her fancy.
For today, she had chosen ten outfits to try. All of them put together had a price of several thousand taels of gold. It was an expensive hobby but she was lucky that she could afford it.
She raised the first piece to examine it. It was a thin nightgown with embroidered lace patterns. It was beautiful. She couldn't resist and quickly put it on.
It fit her perfectly. The thin fabric hung from her body, hugging her curves. She liked it a lot and she wondered how her master would react if he saw her right now.
"Mmm, very nice!" Chen Wentian praised, his shadow appearing in a corner of the room.
"Eee! Master!" Lin Qingcheng covered her chest which was completely exposed due to the see-through gown.
"Haha! Don't be shy now, weren't you just thinking about showing it off to me?"
She pouted but couldn't deny it so she stomped the floor, "Hmph, I knew you were peeping."
"Heh, actually, I wish I was peeping. But we'll have to save this show for later. A few evildoers have finally shown themselves and are up to no good."
"Oh, no!" Lin Qingcheng was momentarily stunned, "What do we do?"
"I… don't do anything." Chen Wentian replied, "According to our enemies, this shadow doesn't exist. So, I can't show my face. It will be up to you, Ziyun, and the rest to take care of the problem, like we talked about."
"Yes, master. You can rely on me!" Lin Qingcheng said spiritedly as she scrambled to put on her normal clothes, almost tripping over her shoes in the process.
"Don't forget the Golden Serpent Robe." He reminded.
"Oh yeah!"
Chen Wentian shook his head and left the room. Melting in the shadows, he slipped through the cracks in the wall panels. He quickly crossed to the other side of the House of Paradise and entered the special room that had only one occupant.
Wu Qianyu was also naked. Her whole body was covered in sweat. She was taking a break from the cultivation of pain to practice her sword arts. With only a sword in hand, her figure flashed and shifted around the room.
She was tall compared to Lin Qingcheng. She was also full-figured with breasts capable of feeding a nursery and hips capable of bearing one. Her beauty came not from cute innocence but worldly maturity. She was the type of woman that every man desired to marry and have children with.
Chen Wentian wanted to keep watching her like this but there pressing matters at hand.
"Qianyu." He called out softly to not startle her.
"Master," Wu Qianyu landed gracefully. She took a large towel out of her spatial bag and wrapped it around herself. "Master, is anything the matter?"
"Mm, outside forces have started to move. I have picked out their possible targets."
"Hmph, they have finally decided to act. Finally, after so many months pretending to be harmless mice, they have finally decided to be bloodthirsty rats."
Chen Wentian chuckled, "Go on, show me the progress you've made on our enemies. There are plenty of them to suffer under your tortuous sword."
Wu Qianyu dried her hair and smiled thinly. There was a sharp glint in her eyes as if whoever crossed her path today would suffer a fate worse than death. Her whole body gave off a powerful aura.
He shuddered and briefly wondered if he had pushed her too hard this time around. But he didn't have the time to ponder that question because Wu Qianyu dressed quickly. She wore her usual white battle robe and the Purple Jade Sword was still drawn, ready to see blood.
"Master, where to?"
"South gate."
"Yes!" Wu Qianyu said and rushed out.
