Chapter 001: Matters Under the Moon

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Oh! The young man rolled his eyes and shook his head, saying: "Isn't that wrong? I heard that a young lady was driven out of your residence a few days ago. It is said that you brought her home for only three to five days before sending her away. That young lady had hoped to enjoy a life of comfort in your family, but when she was expelled, she was only wearing a single garment and didn't even take a single copper coin with her. Later, in her shame and anger, she jumped into the East China Sea. Is this matter not true? Then... could it be that the one who jumped into the sea was not your concubine?"

"Young Master Xia, you truly are a person of high status who forgets many things!" The young man chuckled and said, "Indeed, Young Master Xia, you have six concubines, yet you do not know which room this beauty belongs to?"

His actions were almost identical to those of the brocade-clad youth: swift, decisive, and ruthless, directly targeting the enemy's vital points without any semblance of showmanship

Unbeknownst to her, Young Master Xia's large hand began to slip into the girl's collar, preparing to caress the pair of ample spheres

The young man in splendid attire wore a pained expression and sighed, "Young Master Xia, are you really going to fight?"

Ah! Young Master Xia exclaimed: "You... you are the Fifth Young Master of the Han family, Han Mo?"

Young Master Xia's face turned pale, and he suddenly knelt down on the ground, weeping uncontrollably: "I dare not, heroes, I was wrong, spare my life..." He took out all the banknotes and silver coins from his bosom and threw them on the ground, trembling as he said: "You... you can take all of this, there... there is more for me to turn back to, please spare my life..."

You... you are talking nonsense! Young Master Xia glared and said: "I have not yet taken a wife, so how could there be a concubine?"

The young girl looked up and threw a flirtatious glance at Han Mo, sweetly saying: "Young Master Han, Tao Hong is willing to offer herself. If you have some free time, do come to the Fragrant Pavilion to support Tao Hong!"

Xia Gong and the librarian were left speechless, and the voluptuous young woman also turned pale.

The young girl lowered her head, feeling very shy, and stole a glance at the young master, saying: "Young master, I... I followed you because I saw your graceful demeanor and outstanding appearance. So... so I came along. Young master... you wouldn't look down on me, would you?"

Young master! The young girl gazed affectionately at the young master

As soon as the words fell, Young Master Xia saw the two individuals before him part ways, like two leopards, and they lunged at the burly man first. Their movements were swift and their strikes ruthless. Although the young master in brocade was significantly shorter than the burly man, his right hand was shaped like a knife. Before the burly man could react, he struck fiercely at the carotid artery on the side of the burly man's neck. The burly man didn't even have time to scream; his massive body slumped down like a pile of mud. Their movements were swift and their strikes ruthless.

The young girl beside them turned pale upon hearing this, looking at Young Master Xia in terror

"You two little brats, disturbing my good fortune, are seeking death. This place is remote; even if I were to kill you and throw your bodies into the lake to feed the fish, I doubt anyone would know. " Young Master Xia sneered, "If you are sensible, kneel down and give me a hundred loud kowtows, and I might spare you!"

He walked up to the voluptuous young woman and said softly, "Miss, this is a bad seed; do not be deceived by him. If we had not arrived today, your innocence would likely have been tarnished by him." As he spoke, he also cast several lingering glances at the young woman's ample bosom.

Piaoxiang Courtyard, the largest spring house in Donghai City

Hearing the soft voice of the young lady, Young Master Xia immediately coughed lightly, trying to make his expression appear dignified and elegant. Although this was a difficult task for his rather unsightly face, he still slightly nodded and said, "Indeed, the moon is so bright, just like... just like your fair little hands, my lady!" At this point, he gracefully took the young lady's hand, looking utterly enchanted, and continued, "To encounter you in the city tonight, and to invite you to leave the city and come to this tranquil Changchun Lake for a conversation, is truly a stroke of fortune in three lifetimes!"

The young man in splendid attire turned around and asked, "Han Qing, what do you say?"

At this moment, it was the late spring of March. Although it was a time when all things were awakening, the lake water was still chilling to the bone at this hour of night. When Young Master Xia heard that he was to enter the water, his face turned even paler, and he waved his hand, saying: "No... I dare not, the water is cold; if I go in, I will lose my life...!" He suddenly caught sight of the right hand of the brocade-clad youth, which was propping up his chin and was faintly glowing. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the light did not come from any treasure worn on the youth's fingers, but rather from three of the youth's fingers on his right hand, which were golden in color and shimmered faintly with golden light under the moonlight.

Young Master Xia sneered, "So you are here to cause trouble. Has anyone ever jumped into the sea at my residence?" Suddenly, he whistled, and from the reeds on both sides, four tall and robust men emerged.

Walking in front is a youth of about seventeen or eighteen years old. He is dressed in a silver-gray brocade robe, which accentuates his handsome and tall figure, exuding an air of elegance. His eyes are bright, resembling the stars in the night sky, while his skin bears the unique bronze hue of coastal dwellers, healthy and vibrant. Although his face still shows a hint of youthfulness due to his age of less than twenty, the sharpness and brilliance in his eyes, combined with the gentle smile at the corners of his mouth, convey a sense of maturity that surpasses his actual age.

Young Master Xia's face was filled with fear as he stared blankly at the finger that shone with golden light, murmuring: "I have heard that in the Donghai Prefecture, the first family, the Han family, has a Fifth Young Master who was born with three fingers on his right hand that are like gold. It is said that he is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth. I never expected... I never expected to encounter the Fifth Young Master. Fifth... Fifth Young Master, please... spare my life!"

At that moment, a commotion was heard from the reeds, and soon two individuals emerged from within.

Piaoxiang Courtyard! Han Mo and Han Qing exchanged a glance, then immediately lowered their heads and left Changchun Lake at the fastest speed, prompting Tao Hong to stamp her feet in frustration: "You stubborn one, if you won't go to Piaoxiang Courtyard, I can just go to your residence!"

The young man in splendid attire rested his chin on his right hand and chuckled, "Young Master Xia, you are too polite. This is worth several hundred taels of silver. If we were to take it, wouldn’t that be akin to robbery? Since you are unwilling to fight, let it be. The reason I came here today was to see if anyone was swimming in Changchun Lake, but unfortunately, there is not a single person. It is truly disappointing. Young Master Xia, why don’t you go for a swim and let me have a look?"

"If you don't strike, then bow your head!" Young Master Xia said with a tone of deep resentment.

"How could this be?" Young Master Xia immediately said: "The first time I saw you, I was captivated by your elegant and extraordinary demeanor. You are the fairy in my heart... I will treat you well, allowing you to enjoy the riches of the world. I want... I’m sorry, miss, I got too excited, but you can see that I like you!" His voice was sincere and heartfelt, truly moving those who heard it. "I’m sorry, miss, I got too excited, but you can see that I like you!" His voice was sincere and heartfelt, truly moving those who heard it.

Miss! Young Master Xia could not help but embrace the young girl, pulling her into his arms. One hand inadvertently pressed against the girl's ample backside, giving it a gentle yet firm squeeze, revealing a proud smile on his face.

Han Mo clapped and said: "Beautiful, this Young Master Xia is indeed one who knows how to be pragmatic!"

Han Qing smiled and said, "Young Master, since Young Master Xia has said to fight, let us fight!"

The young man in splendid attire chuckled and said, "Did you recognize me?"

Oh! The young man, seeing Young Master Xia about to use his large hand to caress the young girl's delicate chest, exclaimed: "Isn't this Young Master Xia?"

Young Master Xia was disturbed during a good moment, which made him quite displeased. However, upon seeing that the young man was dressed in extremely luxurious attire, clearly not an ordinary youth, and moreover, he seemed to genuinely recognize him, he could not help but release the young lady and asked, "Who are you?"

At the moment when the two strong men fell to the ground, Han Qing had already dealt with the other two strong men.

Han Qing stepped forward, smiling and said: "Miss, our young master saved you; how will you repay him?"

The young girl bowed gracefully and expressed her gratitude, saying: "Thank you, young master, for saving my life"

The young man in splendid attire, Han Mo, said leisurely: "Since you know my name, you should also know that once Han Mo has spoken, his words cannot be taken back"

Young Master Xia's expression was complex, his eyes filled with fear. Suddenly, he stood up and respectfully said, "Fifth Young Master, I was wrong, I will go to the lake right away!" Without further ado, he walked to the edge of the lake, closed his eyes, and murmured in a voice inaudible to others, "Encountering this calamity, I am the one who suffers!" With a graceful leap, he jumped into the icy lake.

Upon hearing this, Young Master Xia in the lake rolled his eyes and nearly fainted.

Beside her stood a short wealthy young man, whose appearance could hardly be described as handsome; in fact, it was somewhat lewd. While the young girl was immersed in the gentle moonlight, his eyes were fixated on the neckline of her dress, from which a fair portion of her delicate neck was visible, even revealing a hint of snowy skin. Given the expression on this young man's face, it was easy to misinterpret his gaze as one of peering at the girl's chest.

Behind him stood a companion of similar age, who was also quite good-looking, but wore a peculiar smile on his face

The young man in splendid attire clapped his hands, adjusted his clothing, and then smiled as he said to Young Master Xia: "Young Master Xia, it is your turn!"

Four burly men chuckled as they rolled up their sleeves and slowly approached.

The moonlight is faint and serene, as tranquil as water. The gentle moonlight spills over the smooth, mirror-like surface of Changchun Lake, shimmering with ripples. Coupled with the soft spring breeze of March, it causes the reeds by the lake to sway gently, creating an indescribable beauty and tranquility

The young man in splendid attire knocked down one person and did not cease his actions. He turned around and lifted a leg, delivering a powerful kick with a resounding "bang" to the waist of another burly man. The burly man felt a sharp pain in his waist, as if his legs had been electrocuted, leaving him completely numb. He collapsed to the ground, groaning.

Under the moon by the lake, with deep affection between us, what a pair of illicit lovers... Oh, no, I mean, what a pair of beautiful lovers.

Amidst the gentle breeze, by the expansive Changchun Lake, a man and a woman stand side by side, gazing up at the bright moon in the sky. The woman, dressed in white, has a face that cannot be described as exceptionally beautiful, yet she exudes a certain alluring charm. Her figure, curvaceous with a prominent bust and a well-defined waist, embodies the ideal that many men fantasize about. With her arms crossed over her ample chest, she softly remarks, "Young Master Xia, look, the moon in the sky is so beautiful"

Tonight, there is going to be a wild battle
