Chapter 540: Ch 540 – Yino must be cursing me behind my back again!

“Have you seen enough?”

As she spoke, she gently raised her hand to tuck a silver strand of hair behind her ear. Her movements were elegant and natural. She had the grace of a Silver Dragon princess, but her flirtatious smile and the way she licked her lips carried the wild charm of a purple flood dragon. What attracted Yino’s gaze even more was that when Hua licked her lips, he could see silver-purple spirit patterns on her tongue as well.

Yino’s heart tightened and his lip twitched. He looked at the woman warily and cupped his hands. “I have been disrespectful…”

“Sit.”

Hua smiled flirtatiously and gestured toward the chair across the table. In this situation, dead memories began to resurface. Yino felt a headache coming on. He wondered what kind of bad luck he had lately. First, he was interrogated by Chaerin, then he was controlled and tortured by Changli in both the Illusion Realm and reality. Now that he had finally survived all that, the Silve Princess from the Liu family was inviting him for a private meeting.

He had met three crazy smart women in a row. In comparison, his past struggles with Jinyue felt like child’s play. The silver dragon woman before him was the type who would eat someone alive for the sake of her clan’s interests.

“There is no need to be so tense. I won’t eat you.”

“Besides, since you enjoy looking at my beautiful legs and feet, I don’t mind getting to know you better.”

Seeing how stiff Yino was, Hua offered a gentle yet seductive word of comfort. Yino sat down obediently. He felt that her attack power was simply too high. While Chaerin and Changli were also calculating, Hua showed off her stats

from the first meeting. She used small tricks to accurately target Yino’s preferences, which tested his self-control.

Compared to this silver princess from the Liu mansion, Nina supported by the He mansion was not even in the same league in terms of maturity or presence.

Damn it… I almost want to defect.

“I wonder why your highness sought me out,” Yino said seriously, pushing away his frivolous thoughts. Beautiful women were like roses with thorns. Yino already had a hard time handling a single fox demon, so he didn’t think he could outplay Hua right now.

“I have heard about everything you did in the Jiangnan Region recently.”

Hua lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before showing an appreciative smile. “Yino, you broke the Heavenly Mandate for Ruoning by yourself and helped her awaken the Innate Liuli Holy Body. Now that the lovers are together, it is truly worth celebrating.”

“So, you are now a guest and benefactor of the Liu mansion. I have come personally today to thank you on behalf of the Liu family head.”

“It was just luck. You overpraise me, your ladyship,” Yino replied humbly. Shang Hua laughed at his words.

“So, are you interested in working for me? I won’t treat you poorly.”

This time, Yino did not take the bait easily. He shook his head with a look of helplessness. “The National Advisor has been kind to me. I cannot betray my loyalty. I am sorry.”

“In my view, there is no conflict between the two.”

When the conversation turned to business, the seductiveness in Hua’s eyes faded. She returned to her usual cold demeanor. She propped her chin on her hand and said calmly, “Working with me does not interfere with your relationship with Lady Changli. It might even bring you more opportunities.”

“Could it be…”

“Does Lady Changli forbid you from working with the Liu mansion? Or did she warn you to be careful of a woman named Shang Hua? She shouldn’t have said such things, right?” She stroked her long hair while looking at him with curiosity.

“She did not,” Yino replied. He raised an eyebrow and re-evaluated her goal.

Hua smiled. “If I am not mistaken, she only warned you not to be deceived by the Divine Gate.”

“Mmm… that’s true.”

“So, you have seen my nature just now. I have two identities; the Silver Dragon clan and the Liu mansion. I have almost nothing to do with the Divine Gate, right?”

As she spoke, Hua leaned forward to emphasize her chest. Her face changed from cold to extremely seductive again. Yino swallowed hard. He didn’t know how she knew his preferences. In the original story, this silver princess was always cold and never acted this flirtatious with the protagonist. In fact, based on her expression when talking about business, Yino could tell her true nature was cold. Her current flirtatious behavior was just a tool to cater to men and recruit Yino as a pawn.

If Yino didn’t know her true personality, he might have actually thought she was a loose woman. Her every move gave men the illusion that if they agreed to her deal, they would be rewarded in bed that very night.

“Tell me about it. If it is something I can do, I am willing to cooperate,” Yino said seriously while looking into her eyes. He stopped looking at her chest. For a moment, Hua was stunned by his gentlemanly behavior. A flash of displeasure crossed her eyes, but she quickly smiled again.

“Don’t you think the current Empress is too immature? Her actions are incompetent and her governance is foolish.”

Yino froze. This topic was about high-level politics. A small fry at his level shouldn’t touch it. Furthermore, Nina was Changli’s disciple. Yino was currently relying on Changli. Hua’s words were basically asking him to seek death. Thinking of this, Yino wanted to stand up and leave.

However, before he could react, the silver beauty moved her chair back and stood up. She no longer wore a seductive expression. Her cold laugh carried a hint of loneliness. Her legs in white silk moved gracefully beneath her slit dress. When she reached Yino’s back, she pressed her hands onto his shoulders and leaned down.

Yino held his breath. The unique fragrance from Hua was intoxicating. Just imagining her chest pressing against his shoulders made his heart waver.

“I know what you are thinking. You think you cannot betray Nina because she is Lady Changli’s disciple. But I think you are being too naive.”

She leaned forward and brought her flawless face close to Yino’s ear. Her breath carried a sweet scent as she whispered into his ear. “Do you really think the National Advisor supports Nina because of some master-disciple bond? What does Nina know about ruling a country? People say Nina is the Empress, but the one truly holding power is Lady Changli. But… do you really think the National Advisor enjoys holding that power?”

“…”
