The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 17

After dinner, night had fallen, but we couldn't go to sleep right away, so we suggested that everyone take a walk by the lake.

There were some lanterns along the lake for illumination. The group walked along the lake embankment, chatting idly. However, Ru Feng remained silent, which puzzled the others, as Ru Feng's voice was usually heard in such conversations. Yu Jue quickly asked, "Ru Feng, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

With a slender finger pointing towards the brightly lit boats on the lake, Ru Feng blinked and asked innocently, "Do you know what those are?"

Yu Xuan tapped her head and scolded, "Don't ask so many questions, little kid!"

Ru Feng smiled slyly: "Don't think I don't understand. Isn't that the legendary pleasure boat? Hehe, a man's paradise."

Everyone was shocked. Yu Jue hurriedly asked, "How did you know?" In his heart, Ru Feng had always been a child. His homosexual remarks today had already given him a headache, and he didn't expect this to happen again.

Ru Feng chuckled: "I've even been to brothels, what's so surprising about that?"

After a long silence, Yu Jue finally managed to squeeze out, "You're only sixteen." The thought of the naive Ru Feng falling into the hands of a courtesan filled Yu Jue with a strange mix of emotions. Yu Xuan wore a gloomy expression, Yun Tianze was deep in thought, Rong Yiying remained expressionless, and only Xiao Qing looked at Ru Feng with surprise.

Ru Feng curled his lip, unconvinced: "Don't think I don't know. You rich kids must already have maids before you're even sixteen. What's wrong with me going to a brothel?" Although Ru Feng didn't ask about the three of them's backgrounds, he knew they must be people of high social standing and wealth.

Apart from Rong Yiying and Xiaoqing, the other three people's expressions changed. After a long while, Yujue said, "Rufeng, no matter what, it's never good to go to a brothel. You shouldn't go next time, lest the old general finds out, and then you'll be in trouble."

Ru Feng laughed and said, "Grandpa already knew about this. Hehe, I really miss Xiao Yan'er now. I wonder how she is doing?"

"Who is Xiaoyan'er?" This was Yuxuan's wooden voice.

"She's the most beautiful courtesan at Feixianyuan, the largest brothel in Yuezhou City. Let me tell you, she's very gentle and knowledgeable. Alas, it's a pity I don't have any money, otherwise I would have redeemed her long ago. You don't know that Bai Shaojun has fallen for Xiaoyan'er, so I'm relatively at ease now because Bai Shaojun is protecting her for the time being. When I have money in the future, I'll go and redeem Xiaoyan'er." Rufeng was making her own plans, unaware of the feelings in the hearts of the others.

The crowd felt a bit conflicted. Ru Feng's pure image in their hearts had almost completely vanished. They never expected that Ru Feng, at such a young age, would already have some kind of connection with a courtesan.

Yu Xuan and Yu Jue were furious, feeling that Ru Feng's behavior had ruined Ru Feng's innocence.

"It must be that courtesan who corrupted Rufeng," the two brothers thought simultaneously.

Yu Jue earnestly instructed, "Ru Feng, you must not go there again next time." How did the old general discipline Ru Feng? Logically speaking, if the old general found out that Ru Feng went to such a place, he should have been furious. How come Ru Feng dared to say it now?

Unexpectedly, Ru Feng added, "Alas, it's a pity I have to practice martial arts. My master said I can't lose my virginity before I'm twenty. Otherwise, I should have gone to a brothel tonight. Maybe I could have met one or two beautiful women. You know, I'm so handsome. If I just stood there in a brothel, everyone would flock to me." He looked smug.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but laugh again!

Chapter 34 Doubt

"Ru Feng, no matter what, you must never go to that brothel again." Even though he knew Ru Feng hadn't done anything wrong, Yu Jue still felt it was necessary to emphasize this to him again.

Ru Feng pursed her lips and replied perfunctorily, "Alright, alright, I've heard you. We should go back to sleep now."

"Shorty, you better remember this: if we find out you went to that place again, you'd better watch out for your legs!" Yu Xuan pinched Ru Feng's cheek fiercely.

Ugh, what does this have to do with them? Ru Feng secretly rolled her eyes, pretending not to hear.

"What? Trying to pretend you didn't hear me?" Yu Xuan put his arm around Ru Feng's thin shoulder and pinched Ru Feng's chin with his other hand.

Ru Feng hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, I heard you, Brother Xuan, let go quickly."

After lingering for a while, Yu Xuan finally let go and said, "Ru Feng is too young and hasn't developed yet. You really can't go to that place anymore. Look at your thin body, you look like a child."

Ru Feng felt relieved, as long as he didn't think about women.

"But Ru Feng's skin is really good, even better than a woman's, so smooth and tender, like the tofu we ate today." Yu Xuan suddenly changed the subject, making Ru Feng's little heart tremble again.

These words drew everyone's attention to Ru Feng's face. In the candlelight, his face appeared exceptionally soft, radiating a faint glow, and his eyes held a touch of allure.

Ru Feng was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Brother Xuan is so annoying! Everyone else has better skin and they get criticized, but your rough skin is so rough it feels prickly to the touch. Why don't you talk about Tian Ze? He's more like a woman than any of us."

All eyes turned to Yun Tianze, who smiled knowingly: "Ru Feng, you touched me all over that day, don't you know whether I'm a man or a woman?"

Everyone's gaze turned to Ru Feng, who smiled knowingly, full of reminiscence: "Yes, that skin, that feel, sigh, even though I've never touched a woman, I know that's top-notch."

Xiaoqing became anxious: "Young Master Rufeng, don't talk nonsense. My young master is a respectable man."

"That's right, but Ru Feng, it's been so long, why haven't you taken a bath in the academy's public bathhouse? Is your body so shameful?" Yun Tianze's casual remark made Ru Feng tremble.

Yu Xuan's eyes also showed a hint of doubt: "That's right, Ru Feng has never been shirtless, he always smells nice, and his skin is so good."

"Stop teasing Ru Feng, didn't you see his Adam's apple?" Yu Jue quickly tried to smooth things over when he saw Ru Feng trembling with anger.

"Waaah..." Ru Feng covered her face with her wide sleeves and cried to Yu Jue, "You all know my body is ugly, yet you still want to see it. Isn't that exposing me to everyone in public? My heart is so fragile. Who will be responsible if it causes irreparable damage?"

Yu Xuan impatiently pulled Ru Feng away from Yu Jue and said, "Alright, alright, stop playing the victim. How could Ru Feng be a woman? What woman in the world would be so bold?"

Ru Feng gave him a coquettish look: "You're so annoying, I was just having a good time talking." Her coquettish manner was so charming that it gave everyone goosebumps.

Yun Tianze quickly said, "Alright, alright, Ru Feng, stop doing that. It's disgusting." He then shrank his neck and pretended to feel nauseous.

The group chatted and laughed, and soon returned to Yun Tianze's villa.

Although it was called a separate courtyard, it was actually larger than a typical family's house. Ru Feng and the others moved into the west wing, one room for each of them.

After having someone fill the bathtub with water, Ru Feng hurriedly bolted the door, tied up her hair, and removed her fake Adam's apple. This Adam's apple had a drawback: it became useless when it got wet, so it had to be protected very carefully.

She took off her clothes, revealing her naked body, and then took off the small clothes her master had given her separately. Those were her magic weapons to flatten her chest, even though it was a sacrifice for herself.

Ru Feng found it troublesome to think about. In the academy, there were men everywhere, and only some of the servants were women, but they were all middle-aged women, which made it very inconvenient for her to take a bath, especially during her period. It was like being a thief. She had worked so hard to learn martial arts back then, and now she finally knew its greatest advantage: she could sneak off to the back mountain to take a bath without being discovered.

Like now, I can just take a shower without any worries, but it makes me happy for half a day.

After taking a comfortable bath, Ru Feng asked someone to carry the bathtub out, and then she wanted to go to sleep. Usually, she had to be careful when sleeping at the academy, because who knew if Yu Xuan would suddenly come and pull back her blanket.

Lying in bed, thinking about what happened tonight, Ru Feng was a little confused. How did it end up talking about whether she was a woman or not? Thinking about this, Ru Feng couldn't fall asleep. She got up, sat on the dressing table, and looked at the bronze mirror. Although the reflection was yellow and a little blurry, it was still clear.

The mirror reflected the image of a beautiful woman, with thick, arched eyebrows, large, dark eyes like ink jade, a straight nose, and naturally red lips with an alluring curve. She touched her face, frowned slightly, and stopped looking in the mirror.

She sighed inwardly. Although she had consciously practiced her manners before, as she got older, some of her feminine characteristics would only become more and more obvious. Sometimes, she would unintentionally reveal a soft and charming demeanor that she found hard to hide.

After thinking about it, I realized that someone might become suspicious tonight, so I decided to investigate.

After searching all their rooms, they finally found them in Yun Tianze's room.

"Oh, everyone's together and they didn't even call me!" Ru Feng thought to himself, then quickly used his lightness skill to fly onto the roof and listen carefully.

"Should we call Rufeng over?" Yuxuan's voice wasn't very loud because it was late at night. If Rufeng hadn't had such good hearing, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear him.

"No, let's not. Isn't he going to sleep? Besides, he's still so young; it's not good to let him drink." That was Yu Jue's voice.

"Brother is really something. He treats Rufeng better than he treats me. When I was sixteen, you even invited me out for drinks."

"What, are you jealous?"

"Why would I be jealous? Humph, if I didn't know Rufeng was a guy, I would have thought you liked him."

Everyone burst into laughter.

“However,” Rong Yiying’s voice was deep and he spoke slowly, “don’t you think Ru Feng really does seem a bit like a girl? People who have studied martial arts sometimes have a more acute sense of things. I think Ru Feng really does seem a bit like a woman.”

Startled, she became even more cautious. She knew that her martial arts skills were the highest among everyone here, otherwise Rong Yiying would have discovered her long ago. But she still had to be careful, especially at this time.

Yu Xuan laughed heartily: "Haha, you're making it sound so real. That guy is so rude, how could he possibly be a girl?"

Yun Tianze chuckled: "Why don't we just give it a try?"

"Don't go too far, or Ru Feng will get angry." This was Yu Jue's voice reminding him.

Yu Xuan's interest was piqued, and he said excitedly, "Can't we test him a little? It's just for fun. That guy is usually so arrogant, we should teach him a lesson."

So, a bunch of heads huddled together, talking quietly about something, but even if Ru Feng tried his best to hear, it was all blurry and unclear.

"Damn it, what kind of method did they come up with?" Ru Feng thought bitterly. Since he couldn't hear it anymore, he might as well go back and think of a solution.

With that thought in mind, Ru Feng carefully left.

That night, Ru Feng, like everyone else at the academy, slept in her specially made pajamas, which were unique in that they could conceal her figure. She knew that tomorrow would be the day those people began testing her.

When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. We'll see.

!

Chapter 35 Testing

The next day, there were no classes, so Ru Feng woke up a little later than usual.

After putting on his blue robe and fastening his belt, Ru Feng opened the door. To his surprise, two pretty young women were already waiting at the door with their heads bowed. They were holding a basin of water and some salt. When they saw Ru Feng come out, they hurriedly said in unison, "Young Master Ru Feng!"

"What's going on?" Ru Feng scratched her head and asked in confusion. She had lived here for sixteen years, and except for when she was a child, she had always taken care of herself. When had anyone ever served her?

“Young Master Rufeng, our young master specifically instructed us, the two sisters, to serve you. Now, please wash up, Young Master Rufeng,” said one of the girls, dressed in a light purple dress.

"Huh? I didn't see you guys last night. What are your names?" Ru Feng asked in surprise, stroking his chin.

"Young Master Huifeng, this servant's name is Xiaohe." The girl, dressed in a lotus-colored dress and with her hair in two buns, bowed and replied, two blushes rising on her cheeks.

"My name is Xia Xia," another girl dressed similarly, but in orange, replied crisply, her eyelids lowered as she nervously avoided Ru Feng's gaze.

Ru Feng smiled and said, "Hehe, ladies, you don't need to stand on ceremony in front of me. Just refer to yourselves as 'I'. Come on, raise your heads and let me get to know you properly."

Ru Feng's actions resembled those of a street ruffian preparing to harass a respectable woman; because he spoke with a smile, his tone was somewhat frivolous.

The two women looked up, and Ru Feng was surprised to see that they were smiling at him. Their skin was fair and delicate, their faces were beautiful, their lips were slightly rosy, and their porcelain-like faces were flushed. Most importantly, they were twins!

You know, they are beautiful to begin with, and when there are two equally beautiful people, that beauty is magnified by a factor of two!

Ru Feng's interest was immediately piqued, and she asked with a smile, "Sisters, which one of you is the older sister and which one is the younger sister?"

Xia replied, "This servant... oh... I am the elder sister."

“Then this must be the younger sister,” Ru Feng said, turning to Xiao He. “Speaking of which, it seems the younger sister is a bit shy. Look at her face, so fair and rosy, she’s truly a beauty!”

Ru Feng reached out and touched Xiao He's face, and said with a smile, "Xiao He, please don't be offended. I was just momentarily captivated. Please forgive my abruptness."

Xiao He hurriedly shook her head, her fair neck seemingly flushed crimson.

"Oh dear, I completely forgot to invite my two sisters in. You've worked so hard, it's really my fault for making you tired." Ru Feng suddenly realized, patted her head, and hurriedly reached out to pick up the basin of water. The two sisters refused, but they couldn't resist Ru Feng's skillful movements, so they had no choice but to follow her into the house empty-handed.
