Chapter 74 The Bloodthirsty Admiral Who Keeps a Beauty in a Golden House 3
Reading Settings
Chu Yuan, “!”
Waaah, this is so unfair!
However, no one cared about her grievances. The young actress even brought the lychees in the blink of an eye. When she handed them to Chu Yuan, she felt a little regretful, saying, "A rider gallops through the dust, bringing smiles to the imperial concubine's face, but no one knows it's lychees that have arrived. These are precious things."
Chu Yuan and the little actress shared the same idea.
So after she took it, she quickly peeled off the skin, ate the meat, and spat out the pit, all in one go.
The young actor, "..."
Huo Jin, “…”
After a moment of stunned silence, the young actress suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "How dare you! Miss Iris, don't think that just because you're a concubine of the Imperial Concubine and appointed by the Emperor, we won't dare to do anything to you!"
Chu Yuan glared at the little actor. Is this guy related to Baba? He talks too much nonsense!
She held a lychee peel in her hand and looked at Huo Jin: "Admiral Huo, do you really want to kill me?"
"No." Huo Jin's voice remained as languid as ever, his dark eyes slightly narrowed.
In the sunlight, his skin was so white it was almost transparent, crystal clear and flawless. His eyebrows were even more delicate and refined than a woman's, slanting upwards towards his temples. His red lips curved upwards, softening his cold and hard features. He was androgynous, and his beauty was mesmerizing.
Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment.
The young actor coughed unhappily to the side.
Honestly, every woman sent here is captivated by his admiral, without exception!
Many of them, even when they were no longer breathing, would still open their eyes wide for one last look.
The phrase "dying with eyes wide open" probably doesn't exist in the dictionary of a young actress.
Chu Yuan only looked at Huo Jin, "Well... Admiral Huo, you seem to be in good spirits this early in the morning. How about this, Iris happens to know some riding and archery skills, why don't Iris accompany Admiral Huo for a match?"
While eating lychees, Chu Yuan took the opportunity to buy and eat the "Talent Enhancement Water".
The original owner had gone hunting with his father when he was young and knew a little about archery. After working for so many years, he was quite strong and should be able to give it a try.
Hearing her say that, Huo Jin became interested. "You can shoot arrows? You want to compete with this admiral?"
It was as if they were mocking Chu Yuan for overestimating herself.
Chu Yuan smiled slightly and gave him an affirmative answer.
Of course, compared to being unilaterally tortured and killed by him, this sole initiative is also extremely precious.
Huo Jin smiled and waved to Chu Yuan, her peach blossom eyes sparkling, her clear pupils seemingly filled with shattered light, but her gaze lacked any warmth. "Come here."
Chu Yuan did as she was told and walked over. As she got closer to Huo Jin, she found her breathtakingly beautiful.
For a moment, I felt like he wasn't so weird after all.
Being good-looking is not a crime.
"How do you want to compete?" Huo Jin remained seated, his shapely legs crossed, his back leaning back, exuding a roguish, lazy, and somewhat playful arrogance.
Chu Yuan pointed to the fruit plate, "Same game, shoot lychees. Whoever shoots the most wins."
Huo Jin immediately spoke up, instructing the young actress to hang the lychees up with silk thread.
It's right in the courtyard.
Chu Yuan took a deep breath. Huo Jin was too smart. She hadn't even said anything, yet he already knew her intentions.
Hanging it up is much more difficult than shooting it from a still object.
Huo Jin walked over and blew on the swaying lychees, making them shake even more violently. A stunning smile appeared on her exquisite features. "Iris, what if you win, or what if you lose?"
Everyone knows he kills without blinking an eye, but besides killing, he also has a hobby of gambling.
The bigger the bet, the more excited they get.
Chu Yuan's voice was calm, "If we win, I'll stay. If we lose, I'll carry lychees on my head for Admiral Huo every day, even if I'm riddled with bullets, I won't utter a sound!"
She won't lose.
You can look down on yourself, but you can't look down on the system's items.
But sometimes, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Chu Yuan confidently drew her bow and shot two arrows at once. The last arrow was quite good, hitting the bullseye from a hundred paces away. One arrow pierced through the peach tree in the yard, and the other pierced through the yard wall.
The problem is, not a single lychee was shot down!
Chu Yuan, "..."
Holding the bow and arrows, Huo Jin watched with admiration, "Miss Iris, what excellent skills you have!"
Chu Yuan, "..."
She blushed with shame, lowered her head, and wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.
They racked their brains to come up with ways to make up for it.
At this moment, Huo Jin stretched and tossed the bow and arrows to the young actor. "Not bad, after stretching my limbs, I'm finally a little sleepy. I'm going to sleep now."
So his outburst this morning was because he couldn't sleep?
The young actress, clutching her bow, glanced at Chu Yuan and asked, "Lord Eunuch, what about her?"
"Keep her here. She has a strong grip. When I wake up, I'll have her give me a bath."
Chu Yuan, "..."
Her feelings were complicated and hard to put into words, but oh well, it was good that she was able to stay intact.
While scrubbing your back, you might just finish the task before you know it...
Knowing that Huo Jin was sleeping, Chu Yuan, who had been woken up and was feeling bored, began to wander around the Huo residence.
The Huo mansion was very large, but the number of servants was pitifully small. So, although the little actress scolded her for not wandering around, Chu Yuan still stubbornly wandered around and finally arrived at the foot of a corner tower that was taller than the other buildings.
Above the entrance, a plaque displays three characters written in a flowing, dragon-and-phoenix style: "Zhaixing Pavilion".
The door was wide open, and the inside was empty. Chu Yuan subconsciously wanted to go in and take a look, but then she heard the sound of chains coming from the second floor.
Immediately afterwards, a female voice spoke up, "Who are you? New here?"
Chu Yuan subconsciously looked up and saw a face as radiant as spring blossoms, very pale, a sickly paleness. "And who are you?"
