Chapter 3, Temptation
As he spoke, the innkeeper personally brought the dishes and drinks to the table. While arranging the food and drinks, he said: "Madam San, this is our establishment's signature wine—Yuelai Shao. Please give it a try; I guarantee it won't give you a headache."
Madam San nodded and said, "Boss, today I want to have a good drink with my brother, so please do not let any other idle people disturb us."
Madam San seemed a bit dazed, as if she had not heard Mo Ling's words at all. It was not until Yun Feiyang reached out and nudged her under the table that Madam San suddenly came to her senses and stood up
Yun Feiyang said indignantly: "Heaven is truly unfair; all the good fortune is taken by such people. Just wait and see, I, Yun Feiyang, will one day rise to prominence."
Madam San reached out and took Mo Ling's hand, smiling as she said: "Mo Ling, you are still an unmarried girl, right? It just so happens that Yun Feiyang is also a genuine bachelor. If the two of you come together, it’s hard to say who would benefit from whom. Sister, don’t you think what I said makes sense? Would you like me to help you two get together?"
Yun Feiyang raised his buttocks and sat back down, chuckling as he said: "If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have eaten lunch. The cook at Old Li's house doesn't use any oil in his cooking; he really is stingy to the core for Boss Li"
After waiting for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, footsteps were heard on the stairs outside. Madam San entered with the two young people from earlier, and indeed, they were the Mo siblings. With a radiant smile, Madam San said, "Little Fat Lamb, you are here so early. Come, let me introduce you to these two; they are Mo Ji and Mo Ling, the brother and sister."
When Yun Feiyang said this, he was quite righteous. San Furen, who was used to seeing Yun Feiyang being respectful in front of others and playful behind their backs, couldn't help but be a bit entranced by his expression now. Previously, she only thought this young brother was clever and had a decent appearance. She did not expect him to have such a serious side as well
Yun Feiyang said, "Third Madam, the Mo siblings are indeed quite bold. Just the two of them dare to bring so much money from the Moon Worshipping Kingdom to here, and they are not afraid of being robbed?"
Madam San smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's indulge later; my sister doesn't often treat guests. You must seize this opportunity, for once this village is passed, there will be no such shop left."
Yuelai Inn is the best inn in town, and the owner is a straightforward old man. Due to the recent tensions between the Kingdom of Baiyue and the Empire of Fast, Madam San has been unable to openly trade with merchants from Baiyue. Each time someone comes from that side, they conduct their transactions in a private room at the inn. When Yun Feiyang entered the inn in the afternoon, he did not see Madam San. The owner greeted him politely and gestured upwards. It was not the first time Yun Feiyang had helped Madam San inspect goods, so the owner was already familiar with him. He nodded and walked towards the private room above. In the main hall below, there sat a man and a woman in their early twenties, quietly drinking tea. Although Yun Feiyang did not know them, he could guess that they were the Mo siblings mentioned by Madam San.
Just as Yun Feiyang was still immersed in his delight, a heavy knock landed on his head. Looking up, he saw that he did not know when San Furen had already approached him, and she could clearly see what Yun Feiyang was holding. Two blushes rose on San Furen's face as she said: "You little fat sheep, you haven't even grown all your baby hair and yet you know to look at these things. Do you understand them?"
Mo Ling appeared to be in charge, as it was she who negotiated with Yun Feiyang from beginning to end. Mo Ji and the Third Madam remained as still as two clay statues. Mo Ling placed the magic crystal stone from the table into her bosom and stood up, saying: "Third Madam, Third Madam"
Soon, under the combined efforts of Yun Feiyang and Madam San, one bottle of Yuelai Shao was quickly consumed. Madam San's alcohol tolerance did not seem very high; after just a few drinks, two rosy clouds appeared on her face. Her skin, already fair, now glowed with a charming pink hue, making her look exceptionally alluring. Yun Feiyang couldn't help but steal glances at her several times. This woman resembled a ripe peach, making one unable to resist the urge to take a bite.
Madam San said earnestly: "Feiyang, work hard. Your sister believes that you will definitely succeed"
Yun Feiyang felt that everything was nearly settled, so he stood up and prepared to take his leave. The Third Madam said, "Feiyang, we have known each other for so long, and I have yet to invite you to a meal. Today, taking this opportunity, I would like to treat you to a drink."
Yun Feiyang found a place to sit down, quietly watching the Third Lady stretch her slender waist, her rounded hips raised high, forming a graceful arc, which made his heart race. He thought of the fiery patterns in his embrace, and he reached into his pocket to take out the lining. Noticing that the Third Lady was still intently examining the magic crystal, he quietly unfolded it. Looking at the clean and smooth woman depicted on it, an image of the Third Lady before him, unclothed, flashed through Yun Feiyang's mind.

Mo Ling said with a smile: "Sang Na, where did you find this person? They seem even younger than me. I was just thinking this was a novice, ready to take advantage of the situation. I didn't expect them to be an experienced one, firmly holding the price without budging."
After downing a cup of wine, the third lady finally spoke: "Little Fat Sheep, don’t be fooled by my imposing presence in Seven Heroes Town all day long; the hardships in my heart are known only to me. I ended up with a greedy father, and when I came to the Su family, I was bullied by the senior and junior madams. But I’ve managed to get through it all. In life, one must rely on oneself; heaven cannot determine your fate."
The negotiation process went quite smoothly, so Madam San simply entrusted all authority to Yun Feiyang to handle, while she sat silently beside him. Yun Feiyang was already an experienced hand in this regard, and after some haggling, the magic crystal was successfully traded at a price satisfactory to both parties.
Madam San said: "Do not be deceived by the youth of the Mo siblings; their family is a prominent clan in the Kingdom of Baiyue. They have merely been sent out for training, and who would dare to have designs on them? Even the most reckless little thief would find that Mo Ji could easily handle them. It is said that he is a martial arts genius, having already reached the level of a human-tier warrior at such a young age"
Yun Feiyang did not hold back with the Third Madam, picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat heartily. It seemed that the food at the Li family was indeed lacking in richness. The Third Madam, on the other hand, was unusually silent, drinking her wine in silence. In fact, when the Third Madam and the book entered this room, Yun Feiyang sensed that her emotions were somewhat off. However, he had always regarded the Third Madam as someone noble and untouchable, which made him a bit afraid of her. Since the Third Madam did not take the initiative to speak, he also did not dare to ask.
Madam San was carefully recounting her unspoken grievances while standing up to pour wine for Yun Feiyang. It was summer, and Madam San was already dressed lightly; combined with her full bosom, when she bent down, the deep, snow-white valleys within her attire were fully revealed before Yun Feiyang. Madam San continued to share her story, completely unaware of Yun Feiyang's intense gaze fixed on her bosom. Unfortunately, Yun Feiyang could no longer absorb anything she said, his eyes greedily fixated on the expanse of snow-white before him. Madam San exuded the aura of a mature woman.
Madam San provocatively said: "Little Fat Sheep, are you still a virgin? You must have never seen a woman's body, otherwise..." Madam San paused for a moment, exaggeratedly swaying her impressive bosom in front of Yun Feiyang's eyes, and said: "Let me give you a feast for your eyes?"
Yun Feiyang stood up and greeted the two individuals who had entered. The siblings, the brother was robust and strong, while the sister was delicate and petite, also a beauty in her own right. Mo Ling wasted no time and directly asked Yun Feiyang to present the goods to begin negotiations. Madam San nodded at Yun Feiyang, who then took out a small package containing magic crystals from his pocket. The Mo siblings bent down to examine the quality of the magic crystals. The prices of magic crystals can vary dramatically based on their quality, making the inspection of goods a crucial procedure. Madam San nodded at Yun Feiyang again, and he retrieved the small package of magic crystals from his pocket. The Mo siblings focused on assessing the quality of the magic crystals.

Yun Fei, with a thick skin, confidently stated: "I am almost eighteen years old, how could I not understand this"
Yun Feiyang's eyes were somewhat dizzy from the swaying object before him. The figures of the three ladies were beyond reproach, resembling a tumultuous wave. Yun Feiyang began to stare blankly at that sight, involuntarily swallowing hard.
Mo Ling's face suddenly turned red; she stomped her foot and ran out. Mo Ji cupped his fists towards us and took his leave as well. The Third Madam sent off the Mo siblings and then quietly returned. Yun Feiyang handed the pouch of money left by the Mo siblings to the Third Madam, who took a few gold coins and gave them to Yun Feiyang. Yun Feiyang was not polite and accepted the money, tucking it into his bosom. This had already become an old custom.

Madam San gave Yun Feiyang a sharp rap on the head and said, "You think too highly of yourself. I will have my sister introduce you to someone good. Oh, by the way, remember to go to the Yue Lai Inn this afternoon; the Mo siblings from the Kingdom of Moonlight have arrived. You go and help me take a look; I am not very familiar with magic crystal stones." After saying this, she gracefully left, leaving Yun Feiyang still swallowing his saliva.
The boss respectfully bent down and said, "Madam San, rest assured. I will sit below and ensure that not even a fly can come up." He then respectfully opened the door and walked out
In fact, if Lady San knew that Yun Feiyang's so-called rise to prominence merely meant becoming the head clerk of the Seven Heroes Pawnshop, she would surely find her deep affection and encouragement both laughable and lamentable
Yun Feiyang entered a main room, and to his surprise, the third madam had not yet arrived. The third madam was always punctual when conducting business, and it was unthinkable for her to keep a guest waiting. What could be the reason for her delay today?
