Yu Shuhuai suddenly sent an invitation, saying that he wanted to hold a poetry gathering at his mansion.

　　Such a cultured event would never have invited Lu Huai'an in the past.

　　He glanced at the invitation in his hand and asked me, 'Zhao Qingluo, do you want to go?' These days, Lu Huai'an has treated me exceptionally well, much better than Qin Zeng.

　　It's only fair that I let him meet his unrequited love.

　　So I nodded and said, 'Let's go.' Yu Shuhuai, being talented in poetry, naturally had an exquisite and elegant interior in his mansion.

　　I walked with Lu Huai'an along the corridor paved with white jade, and when we sat down, my eyes immediately caught sight of Qin Zeng.

　　He was staring at Lu Huai'an with an inexplicably cold gaze.

　　In fact, during these days, as I mingled among these noble sons, I discovered that their actions were much more absurd than Lu Huai'an's.

　　They only disguised it with a facade of refined elegance and eventually, Lu Huai'an became the most infamous one.

　　After three rounds of drinking, Qin Zeng suddenly stood up and clapped his hands, laughing, 'Today, everyone seems to be in high spirits.

　　Qin and the Third Prince have prepared a battle between beasts for your entertainment.

　　We invite you all to watch.' A huge iron cage covered with black cloth was pushed forward.

　　When it was revealed, there were three ferocious wolves with red eyes and drooling mouths inside.

　　'These three wolves have been given a love potion, they are extremely violent.

　　Shall we bet on how long she can hold up?' Qin Zeng's gaze shifted, and a frail girl, barely clothed, was pushed forward, her eyes filled with fear and despair.

　　Just as she was about to be pushed into the cage, Lu Huai'an suddenly stood up, rushing forward and kicking away the person restraining her.

　　The courtyard was filled with incense, and the air was hazy.

　　There were exquisite delicacies on the table, and the noble sons present were all dressed in luxurious attire, with beautiful maids serving by their sides.

　　Only Lu Huai'an stood in the courtyard, dressed in red, his stunning peach blossom eyes locked onto Qin Zeng, exuding a chilling aura.

　　'What's the matter, Lord Lu? Have you taken a liking to this girl and want to buy her back for five thousand gold coins?' Laughter echoed around them.

　　'It was my wife who took a liking to her and asked me to bring her back as a companion,' Lu Huai'an replied, his arms holding the girl as he walked towards me and placed her by my side.

　　Seeing her trembling from the cold, her lips pale, I quickly held her hand, sending warmth little by little.

　　'Wife?' Qin Zeng suddenly burst into laughter, 'Lu Huai'an, do you know that this "wife" by your side used to be a fighter in the beast battles as well? She has experienced this, but with thirty times the number of wolves, and still survived.' 'Lu Huai'an, let me ask you again, is this consort that you bought for five thousand gold coins happy?' As I saw Lu Huai'an sitting beside me, his eyes reddening as if blood would drip out, veins pulsating on his hand, I had to reach out and hold him, rubbing his hand with my fingers to comfort him.

　　Locking eyes with Qin Zeng, who was obviously enjoying the show, I nodded to him and gestured to continue.

　　He squinted his eyes.

　　'Go on, describe in detail how you locked me and the thirty wolves together, and how I killed them.' The smile on Qin Zeng's face disappeared in an instant.

　　Of course, he remembers it well.

　　Even after he took away all my weapons, I still managed to tear apart several evil wolves and bite open their throats, letting their scorching hot blood drench me.

　　When they leisurely entered, all they saw were scattered fur, blood, and flesh all over the ground.

　　It was hilarious.

　　I didn't kill them because I couldn't change the course of history.

　　Killing a few beasts is no longer possible, considering how much modern technology has advanced over the years.

　　I spit out the fragments of bones from my mouth and looked at the pale-faced Qin Zheng and his cronies, asking expressionlessly, "What else do you want?" After that incident, Qin Zheng was probably scared, and he didn't do anything to me for a long time.

　　Not long after, he sold me to Lu Huai'an through a gambling bet.
