Traveling Back Early: Forcing the Young Empress to Sign a Lifetime Servitude Contract

215: Chapter 215 Don’t wear it in front of outsiders”Th-this... isn’t this inappropriate?”

Fu Yue thought she had misheard him.

Seeing Chen Qingxuan’s current warmth and friendliness, she was truly a bit overwhelmed by the unexpected favor; he seemed nothing like the beast who had previously made her grit her teeth in rage.

Yet, he had clearly... done that kind of thing to her.

Even if there really was a misunderstanding between them, it wasn’t something that could be erased just like that.

This was her hundreds of years of purity, defiled by the man before her.

However, facing Chen Qingxuan’s hospitality now, she didn’t raise too many defenses. She just gripped the black silk stockings in her hand and said, ”No need. Just teach me how to wear them... I can do it myself.”

Because she didn’t know the purpose of this item, Fu Yue naturally didn’t feel any shame.

Chen Qingxuan didn’t actually want to get his hands on her; he just wanted to build some rapport, or rather, alleviate the terrible impression from before. ”Alright then. First, sit on the stool and pull up your skirt. Since this garment can relieve leg fatigue, it naturally must be worn on the legs...”

Chen Qingxuan began to give instructions with a straight face.

Although Fu Yue already felt something was off when she learned where it was worn, at this point, without concrete evidence to prove it was inappropriate, she had no room to back out.

Before long.

A pair of exquisite black silk stockings was fitted onto a pair of even more beautiful jade-like legs.

As the black silk tightly wrapped around Fu Yue’s rounded and straight beautiful legs, the two fit together perfectly, surpassing all the beautiful scenery in the world.

Gulp~

Chen Qingxuan swallowed hard as he watched.

Of course, he didn’t have any lewd intentions.

The reason he took out the black silk stockings as a gift was considering Fu Yue’s background; no matter what Heaven And Earth Treasure he brought out, he feared it wouldn’t pique her interest;

Naturally, he wouldn’t be able to leave a lasting impression of friendship.

Therefore, he took an unconventional path, choosing to gift this otherworldly object, the black silk stockings.

”This... this garment is so strange!”

Fu Yue spoke while biting her lip.

As she spoke, her two jade-like hands tugged at the hem of her skirt, attempting to cover her beautiful legs, her fair face also flushed with a lingering blush.

Although she didn’t know the purpose of the black silk stockings, or rather, didn’t know what they represented, as a normal person... seeing the image of them worn on her legs still gave her some realization.

Fortunately, Chen Qingxuan remained serious and didn’t show any inappropriate expressions, so she didn’t suspect anything.

”Ahem!” Chen Qingxuan cleared his throat and said solemnly, ”Is it strange? Is it because you’ve never worn them before, so you’re a bit unaccustomed to it for a moment? Actually, many women are like this, but once you get used to wearing them, you’ll definitely fall in love with them.”

”Is that so?”

Fu Yue blinked her long eyelashes in disbelief.

To be honest, she couldn’t tell if Chen Qingxuan’s words were the truth or a lie.

After all, this wasn’t a product of the Three Thousand Divine Provinces.

”Could I possibly lie to you?” Seeing that she was being somewhat fooled, Chen Qingxuan pressed his advantage. ”Don’t you find that after putting them on, they’re not only good-looking but also more comfortable compared to other clothes?”

”Comfortable?”

Fu Yue lowered her eyes to look at her beautiful legs in black silk.

The next moment, she nodded undeniably. ”There really is that feeling. The texture is different from any clothes I’ve worn before. They must be very precious, right?”

”Whether they’re precious or not depends on the person,” Chen Qingxuan said with a smile. ”If it were anyone else, I certainly wouldn’t be willing to give them away. But since it’s you, an old acquaintance, if they get dirty in the future, don’t wash them. Just bring them to me to exchange for new ones.”

”Hmph!”

Fu Yue gave a light, smiling snort.

At this moment, her attitude toward Chen Qingxuan had changed significantly. ”I didn’t realize you were so silver-tongued. You must bully women quite often, don’t you?”

”Sigh!”

Chen Qingxuan shook his head with feigned shame, taking the opportunity to say, ”I don’t remember if I’ve bullied others, but as for you... I am indeed very ashamed. I failed to recognize you immediately and instead misunderstood you as an enemy, behaving toward you in a way that even I cannot forgive.”

”I...”

Fu Yue’s face turned red instantly.

After all, she had hardly ever had contact with men, let alone the experience she had with Chen Qingxuan.

But now, she didn’t fly into a rage like before. She just averted her gaze in shame and said, ”Don’t mention this matter again... Let’s just act like it never happened... like it never happened at all... I’ll accept this gift.”

Toward the end, one of her jade-like hands rested on her thigh.

The silky touch of the black silk surged from her fingertips to her heart, making her look up at Chen Qingxuan.

On the other hand, Chen Qingxuan was overjoyed, but on the surface, he still feigned a heavy heart. ”Xiao Yue, you’re still as kind as you were when you were little. But even if you can forgive me... I can’t forgive myself... Sigh, I really deserve to die!”

”You...”

Hearing this, Fu Yue hesitated to speak.

Seeing Chen Qingxuan’s guilty look made her feel a bit dazed; she couldn’t tell at all that he was acting.

After all, even though her talent for Cultivation was high, her habit of rarely dealing with people meant she naturally didn’t understand the complexity of the human heart or malicious intentions.

This was also why she had come forward on behalf of the Fu Clan to arrange this Hundred States Tournament—mainly to learn about things other than Cultivation.

Unfortunately... she met Chen Qingxuan as soon as she left her seclusion.

Thus, in the next moment, Fu Yue completely lost her usual rationality. ”Did we really know each other before? Why don’t I remember you at all?”

”I should be the one asking you that, Xiao Yue,” Chen Qingxuan said righteously. ”We clearly used to be so close, how can you not remember me at all?”

”I...”

Fu Yue bit her lip.

Meeting Chen Qingxuan’s questioning gaze, she guiltily softened her voice. ”I’m sorry. Perhaps it’s because I’ve been focused on my Cultivation for these past few hundred years, and we met so rarely... that I forgot you.”

”It’s fine, I don’t blame you,”

Chen Qingxuan said shamelessly.

”By the way, since we’ve known each other since childhood... which power do you actually come from?”

”Have you ever heard of a powerhouse surnamed Zi?”

”Zi?”

”Correct. I am her Disciple.”

Chen Qingxuan continued his bluffing. ”But there are some things I can’t tell you in detail right now. If you suspect I’m lying to you, you can ask your father... but your father probably won’t tell you much either, as he wouldn’t want you to get involved in trouble too early.”

”Mm!”

Fu Yue nodded solemnly.

And so, the two who were previously at each other’s throats successfully turned their hostility into friendship.

Only then did Chen Qingxuan dare to let Fu Yue out of the Void Between Nothingness.

Just before leaving, Chen Qingxuan still reminded her, ”Xiao Yue, take off the black silk stockings first... don’t wear them in front of outsiders in the future.”

”Ah?”
