Chapter 1110 - 924: Rumors in the Wind

Secretly leaving the official residence was easy, but secretly finding the lover's new address was not, because he left in haste, without disguise, only wrapped in a cloak. Shi Chun feared being recognized and couldn't openly inquire.

The location given on the Mother-child Talisman, the rough area he knew, after finding the corresponding area, he checked each house one by one.

After finding the place, he dared not go through the front door; as he sneaked towards the back door, the Mother-child Talisman lit up again, saying a door was left for him at the back so he didn't need to climb over the wall.

The timing of the message was really perfect.

When he arrived at the back door, it was indeed half-open; he tried pushing the door and entered, closing it behind him.

He looked back, the courtyard was dimly lit, quite elegant, yet he didn't know which house the person was in. He considered using magic to explore but was afraid of alarming others.

Suddenly, a moaning flute sound arose, a tender and sweet tune, so he followed the sound.

Apart from the flute sound, the journey was silent, not a soul in sight, he found the source of the flute, light and shadow dancing on a window.

He climbed the steps, peeked through the door crack, the Red-clothed Woman on the rocking chair had her clothes half-open, her white flesh half-exposed in the light, legs crossed barefoot, blowing the flute, looking so leisurely and charming.

He gently pushed the door open and entered, causing the lights to flicker even more.

The Red-clothed Woman glanced with bright eyes, smiling, her fingers lightly rising and falling, the flute sound continued uninterrupted.

Shi Chun closed the door, walked up to her, looking down at her. The flute sound was pleasant, but he wasn't appreciating the sound, just scanning the Red-clothed Woman's body, eyes landing on her half-exposed white chest.

In the past, during their encounters, she always appeared proper, always some feigned resistance, this meeting with her bosom half-exposed, Shi Chun saw for the first time, his mind was already wandering.

He kept watching, walked to the back of the rocking chair, reached in, slid his hand inside her loose neckline, playing, stopping the flute sound.

The Red-clothed Woman flicked his hand away with the flute, stood up to leave, only to be embraced from behind and held in Shi Chun's arms, whispering in her ear: "Why have you suddenly arrived?"

The Red-clothed Woman retorted: "Why, can't I come to see you?"

Shi Chun: "Such words." He glanced around and asked: "It seems there's no one in this house, are you alone?"

The Red-clothed Woman: "Temporarily rented. Oh..." She turned, arms circled Shi Chun's neck, looked up: "Buy this house for me, convenient for our secret meets."

Shi Chun calculated, this location with such a big house wasn't cheap, at least several billion, spent on a brothel would allow countless secret meets, even changing different styles, so he hesitated: "Secret meetings don't have to be here, when you come just tell me, I'll arrange for you to come to my Commander Mansion."

The Red-clothed Woman shook her head, "Too many people around, no need, seeing here makes it feel right."

Shi Chun thought about it, considering her background, finally nodded: "Alright, will arrange later, now let's arrange for you first..."

Saying this, he forcibly undressed her, once again they were deep in affection amidst mist and rain...

After calming down, the naked Red-clothed Woman still clung to Shi Chun, hands twisting a tuft of hair, like a pen tip brushing off the sweat from Shi Chun's cheeks, she also talked about serious matters: "My uncle wanted me to ask you, what's the deal with rumors that the Phoenix Clan supports you in becoming Heavenly Domain Domain Master? And what's up with that guy Chai Wenwu under your command taking people to West Niu?"

"Oh, the Phoenix Clan rumor was spread by me..." As he did with Miao Dingyi, Shi Chun explained.

The Red-clothed Woman pondered, then said: "I see, then is what you have the 'Beidou Refusal Array'?"

Shi Chun replied, patting her butt: "How should I know what array it is, during the Battle of Great Pardon when killing Qiankun Sect disciple Zhe Yuren, I grabbed some treasures from him, one of which was this array, I don't even know the name of that treasure."

The Red-clothed Woman responded with a meaningful "oh", somewhat skeptical of his answer because she had long since discovered the secret that let him sneak in and out of the 'Beidou Refusal Array'.

Or rather, once the theft of the Beidou Refusal Array was reported, she first suspected him.

Hence she probed: "Why not take out that array for me to have a look, maybe I could discern something."

Shi Chun sighed: "Don't mention it, good things can't be flaunted, the Battle of Great Pardon had several pieces of treasure armor borrowed and not returned, that big array appeared on Yanfu Continent, then was borrowed and still hasn't returned, I really don't know when it'll be given back."

The Red-clothed Woman: "Who borrowed it?"

"Can't say, dare not say." Shi Chun chuckled bitterly, flipped over and pressed her beneath him, kissed her lips and face several times before changing the subject: "Ruo Jun, help me with something."

The Red-clothed Woman caressed his face, "Tell me."

Shi Chun: "The way my Dingnan Prefecture introduced population was a bit tricky, future taxation will be quite a problem, could you use your uncle's connections to help bring in some strong tax-paying industries?"

The Red-clothed Woman smiled, "I'll try."

Shi Chun pointed a finger at her nose, making her nose resemble a pig's, "Don't just try, do your best."

The Red-clothed Woman's bright eyes blinked, countered: "Have you done your best?"

Shi Chun was momentarily puzzled, "What?"

The Red-clothed Woman flipped over, pressed him beneath her, whispered ambiguously in his ear: "You do your best, and I will too..." Saying this, she kissed his lips, moved her nimble tongue, and went down kissing all the way...

Inside the city's official residence, Feng Chi, who had been persistently invited several times, finally arrived at the secluded garden where Feng Xi stayed.

When Feng Xi saw this woman finally willing to show up, he, as the dignified Phoenix Clan leader, had never been treated so coldly, yet with the greater matter in mind, he brought some anger: "Have you contacted Shi Chun, when exactly will he return?"
