They only felt that this senior brother before them was truly like an immortal and a demon at once, possessing a bewitching charm that seized the heart.
The serene expression on the elder sister, Lu Fuyao's face, instantly collapsed. A faint blush crept onto her cheeks as she couldn't help but lower her head.
The younger sister, Lu Tingni, was no better off.
The two of them had grown up within their family since childhood and rarely went out—how could they ever have seen a man like Chu Ge before?
Especially when their eyes met his and he gave that single wink, the sisters felt as if, in that instant, their very souls had been knocked out of their bodies, completely beyond their own control.
"Cough, cough."
Only when Shui Qianrou let out a light cough did the two of them snap back to their senses as if waking from a dream.
Yet they no longer dared to look at Chu Ge again. Even the lively and bold Lu Tingni buried her head low at this moment, looking uncharacteristically well-behaved.
Shui Qianrou shot Chu Ge a somewhat plaintive glance.
It was as if she were saying, "Look at what you've done to my two disciples. Stop radiating your charm already."
Chu Ge naturally returned the look with a smile.
It wasn't that he didn't know his smile carried a certain unique allure, but to treat someone he already held goodwill toward with cold indifference—Chu Ge admitted he simply couldn't do it.
What's more, the two sisters were both stunning and extraordinary, rare beauties in this world. Given one or two more years of growth, they would surely become shockingly radiant existences. Chu Ge didn't mind leaving the imprint of himself in their hearts at all.
This world did not follow the rule of monogamy—only the strong were qualified to possess everything.
Chu Ge wasn't a strong one yet, but in the future, he certainly would be!
Power, authority, beauties—Chu Ge had no intention of giving up any of them.
He wanted it all!
Since he had already come to another world, naturally he would follow his own heart.
What he liked, Chu Ge would not let go.
Those who liked him, he also would not concede to others.
Mutual affection was, of course, the best, but even a forcibly plucked melon—though it might not be sweet—could still quench one's thirst.
Besides, whether it was sweet or not, one had to take a bite to truly know the taste, didn't one?
Not only the Lu sisters before him, even Elder Shui Qianrou seated at the head—when Chu Ge looked at her, she still exuded abundant charm. He imagined she must surely be a tender, juicy, heart-meltingly sweet melon as well.
After Chu Ge smiled at her, Shui Qianrou noticed his gaze begin to roam over her.
She was first stunned, then a playful thought arose in her mind.
Without much deliberation, the slender waist she held upright tightened ever so subtly, and the chain reaction of that movement naturally caused those two full curves to stand even more proudly.
Chu Ge took everything in with his eyes and silently thought, "Martial Aunt Shui truly has the heart of a Bodhisattva!"
Still, although the scenery was beautiful, Chu Ge did not indulge himself excessively. Compared to merely looking, he much preferred to personally measure the grandeur of those mountains and the might of those rolling waves.
Seeing that Chu Ge knew where to draw the line, Shui Qianrou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She had only acted on a moment of playful impulse, wanting to see his reaction.
Only after the movement did she realize her two disciples were still beside her, and a trace of regret rose in her heart.
Though she appeared on the surface to be a mature and endlessly charming beauty, in truth she was a genuine untouched maiden.
In her entire life, she had never been intimate with any man. A rash, heat-of-the-moment action like today's was a first for her.
Fortunately, Chu Ge knew restraint—otherwise, even she would have found it hard to hold herself together.
A sense of shame welled up in her heart, yet at the same time, an irrepressible hint of secret joy also emerged.
Even a young prodigy like Chu Ge could not help being captivated by her—wasn't that precisely proof of her own charm?
Thinking this way, a pleasant warmth surged in Shui Qianrou's heart.
The brief, delicate atmosphere of ambiguity quickly faded, and the group began to converse.
Despite facing two young beauties and one mature beauty all at the same time, Chu Ge showed not the slightest stage fright.
Guiding the conversation with ease, silvery, bell-like laughter soon rang out from within the pavilion.
From time to time, he would make the three women laugh so hard they nearly bent at the waist, while Chu Ge himself enjoyed a most satisfying feast for the eyes.
By noon, Shui Qianrou even personally prepared an entire table of spiritual dishes.
From technique to ingredients, from color to aroma to taste—everything was of the highest quality. Chu Ge truly hadn't expected that not only was Shui Qianrou extraordinary in alchemy, her culinary skills were also superb.
Throughout the meal, the four of them were in excellent spirits—host and guests alike delighted to the fullest.
