Chapter 45

When Yueyang walked through the courtyard gate, a clear voice rang out.

"Master, you're back!"

As the voice faded, Yu Long's charming face, which was equally lovely whether she was smiling or frowning, appeared before him.

Seeing Yueyang return, Yu Long ran down the steps with quick, small steps, came up to Yueyang, and affectionately took his arm, saying happily, "Master, you're finally back! Sister has prepared several dishes that you like, just waiting for you to come back and eat!" After saying this, Yu Long pulled Yueyang's hand and led him into the main room.

Upon entering the room, Yueyang saw that the table in the middle was set with five or six exquisite dishes, which immediately made his appetite soar. Yu Ling, dressed in a simple dress, was setting the tableware.

Yueyang couldn't help but praise, "Ling'er is so virtuous and capable. Ever since you came, I've gained a lot of weight!"

Hearing Yueyang's praise, even Yu Ling, with her gentle and virtuous nature, couldn't help but feel delighted. She straightened her body, smoothed her hair, and turned to Yueyang with a charming smile, her feminine grace and beauty evident. At that moment, Yueyang felt as if the world had brightened, and he was momentarily stunned.

Seeing Yueyang staring at her in a daze, Yu Ling's face gradually turned a charming shade of red, and even her white, delicate ears turned red. She didn't know where to put her hands, which were crossed and clasped together.

Seeing Yueyang only staring at her sister, Yu Long, who was standing to the side, became unhappy. She stretched out her small hand and waved it in front of Yueyang, pouting, "Hey... snap out of it!"

"Cough, cough... well... it's time to eat!"

Yueyang, who had come to his senses, blushed. Seeing the jealous expression on Yu Long's face, he couldn't help but smile and gently pinched her tender cheek, pretending to be angry, "I was just looking. Do you have to meddle in everything, you little girl?"

Yu Long pouted, "Why are you so mean? You can look, but I can't say anything?"

Seeing Yu Long's cute and charming appearance, Yueyang felt a surge of warmth. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, then gently kissed her face, feeling the softness and the delicate fragrance of jasmine.

Yu Long, suddenly embraced by Yueyang, stiffened for a moment, then softened. She let out a soft moan and collapsed into Yueyang's arms, her eyes tightly closed, as if all her strength had been drained.

Holding the soft and fragrant figure in his arms, and thinking of what the old lady had said, Yueyang's heart grew even hotter. Seeing Yu Ling's flushed and alluring face, he couldn't resist leaning down and capturing her red lips with his own.

Yu Ling, watching Master actually do such an indecent act right in front of her, was stunned. Her heart raced like a deer, and she forgot to speak. After a while, she heard Yueyang's voice.

"Ling'er, go and close the courtyard gate and the door here!"

"What? Oh..." Yu Ling, who was still in a daze, seemed to come to her senses. She ran out like she was in a trance, quickly closing the courtyard gate, and then ran back to tightly shut the room door. When she returned to the room, she found that Master had already laid Yu Long on the large bed.

Seeing Yu Ling come in, Yueyang stood up and walked over to her, then lifted her up and placed her next to Yu Long. Yu Ling, who had already given her heart to Yueyang, was as dazed as her sister, overwhelmed by Yueyang's bold actions and the strong, pleasant male scent.

Looking at the identical, beautiful sisters, Yueyang whispered to them, "Ling'er, Long'er, Master will take you tonight, is that okay?"

Hearing Yueyang's words, Yu Ling, too shy to open her eyes, managed to open them slightly and gave a soft "Mm" before closing them again.

Seeing the shy and charming twins, Yueyang couldn't tell who was the elder and who was the younger. Their waists were equally delicate. In the end, Yueyang couldn't resist and pounced on them.

After a long time, the red candle on the table burst into its final brilliant flame, and the room fell into darkness and silence. Occasionally, a low, soft murmur could be heard in the darkness.

As the sky gradually brightened, Yueyang slowly opened his eyes. He saw a lock of hair and the warm, fragrant body of Yu Ling and Yu Long, who were hugging his arms tightly, their rosy faces showing sweet and content smiles.

Thinking of the sweet and wild events of the night before, Yueyang felt a wave of warmth and tenderness. He looked at the sisters in his arms, smelling the strong and delicate fragrance of jasmine, and deeply understood that from last night, their fates were now closely tied to his. He was their sky and earth; his happiness was their happiness, and his sorrow was their sorrow. They were so pure and kind, and all he could do was strive to make them happy and protect them from the chaos to come.

Perhaps because Yueyang moved a bit, Yu Ling slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Yueyang's gentle gaze, the shy Yu Ling immediately closed her eyes and buried her face in his bare chest, too embarrassed to look.

Seeing Yu Ling's bashful behavior, Yueyang couldn't help but laugh, "Ling'er, it's done. You're mine now. What are you still shy about? And Long'er, since you're awake, stop pretending to sleep and let go of my hand. You've been pressing on it all night, and it's numb!"

"Hmph... I won't let go. Who told you to be so bad, making me... " Yu Long, too shy to continue, buried her head deeply in her lover's chest.

"Alright, it's morning. We should get up," Yueyang patted Yu Long's shoulder, signaling her to get up.

Yu Long shook her head, pouting, "No! Master, stay with us a bit longer."

Yu Ling, though silent, tightened her grip on Yueyang's arm.

Newly transformed into wives, women are always clingy. At that moment, they wanted to stick to their lover forever.

Faced with the passionate and beautiful sisters, Yueyang couldn't help but feel a desire to stay in bed all day. He thought to himself, "No wonder they say that the land of tenderness is the grave of heroes. How can ordinary men resist such tenderness?"

However, although Yueyang was reluctant to get out of the warm bed, he knew he had to go to the border soon and had many things to do. He couldn't be too immersed in love. He reached out and slapped Yu Long's firm, tender buttocks, making a crisp "slap" sound, and laughed, "Alright, stop fooling around. Long'er, get dressed and open the drawer by the bed to get the two wooden boxes!"

"Hmph... Bad Master!"

Yu Long bit Yueyang's chest lightly with her teeth, then reluctantly sat up and slowly put on her scattered clothes.

After a while, Yu Long, now dressed, got out of bed. Just as she was about to walk to the wardrobe, she suddenly frowned, stumbled, and swayed. Fortunately, she quickly grabbed the wardrobe to avoid falling, but she couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ouch..."

Yueyang, seeing this, became worried and asked, "Long'er, what's wrong?"

Yu Long, gritting her teeth, glared at him but didn't speak. She opened the wardrobe, took out two brocade boxes, and slowly walked to the bed and sat down.

Yueyang was about to ask again but was pinched on the waist by Yu Ling, who pouted, "Isn't it because of what you did last night? How can you still ask?"

Yueyang realized what she meant and quickly changed the subject, opening one of the brocade boxes and laughing, "Ling'er, Long'er, look what this is."

The two women opened their eyes and saw a pearl necklace lying quietly in the box. While pearl necklaces were not uncommon, the pearls in this one were large, pure, and of uniform size, making it particularly valuable.

Women are always powerless against beautiful accessories. Yu Long was the first to exclaim, "Wow, so beautiful! Master, this pearl necklace is really pretty!"

Yueyang smiled, "This necklace isn't an ordinary one. These pearls are the finest of the southern pearls, known as sandalwood pearls. Smell them; can you detect a sandalwood scent?"

Yu Ling, who was lying in Yueyang's arms, took a deep breath and her face showed surprise, "Wow, this scent is really nice. Could it have a calming effect?"

Yueyang, somewhat proud, said, "Of course. I spent a lot of money on this necklace!"

Recently, Yueyang had bought a large amount of salt from the modern world. He not only monopolized the market in Yingzhou but also sold it to surrounding regions, earning a lot of money. A few days ago, he had someone in Taiyuan buy some precious antiques and treasures, planning to sell them in the modern world. This necklace was one of his favorite items, which he had intended to give as a gift, and it came in handy today.
