The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 350: Wu Qing and the Phoenix Jade Zither

Walking according to Wu Ning's directions, Jian Shen passed the biggest courtyard and moved towards one of the courtyards which was located quite a bit far from the core.

Just seeing this filled Jian Shen with a few questions and conjectures, but he said nothing and kept walking forward.

Entering the courtyard, the first thing Wu Ning did after putting the umbrella away was to send all of the maids inside it away.

"My sister has been waiting for you in that direction, brother in law."

Pointing towards a certain door, Wu Ning left after saying that there was someone she needed to inform of his arrival.

Not asking anything, Jian Shen walked and slid the door open which led him to the garden.

Looking towards the artificial lake, Jian Shen didn't need any more help and directly walked to the centre of it by using the bridge.

With his destination being the small hut-like thing that was built beside the bridge, Jian Shen walked onto it to find the woman he sensed waiting for him.

Sitting cross-legged at the centre of the wooden structure that was made in the form of a lotus, the calm and ethereal woman seemed to be one with the water due to both her temperament and the clothes she wore.

Dressed in a blue gown which had parts of white colour, the woman exposed everything from her thighs onwards.

In fact, Jian Shen felt that as long as the wind blew a little too strongly he'd manage to see her hidden cave due to how short the gown was at the front.

"Please sit."

Speaking in a gentle tone that got rid of all lustful thoughts inside him, Jian Shen turned vigilant due to realising that he was almost affected by some weird technique.

After all, even if he didn't feel turned on by a woman he just saw, there was no way he'd feel the desire to protect her even if it meant that he'd have to throw his life and everything he held dear.

Not at the very first time he saw them.

So, this could only mean that she was using some technique to fill him with such thoughts.

Still, even though he turned vigilant Jian Shen didn't show any signs of revealing that he realised the woman's intention and sat down with an intoxicated expression as if he was caught in her trap.

Seeing this, the woman with long brown hair smiled a little with both pride and relief.

At the same time, she brought a huge zither out of her spatial ring and held it as she got ready to play whatever it is what she wanted to.

Running her long and slender fingers one time across the strings which seemed to be made out of gold just like the outer body of it, the woman showed a smile which could move the hearts of even buddhist monks.

"Only you deserve to become this Wu Qing's husband. So listen to my music and fall in love with me."

Speaking in the same tone as before which showed the same mysterious power and tampered with Jian Shen's thoughts, Wu Qing once again parted her cherry pink lips.

"It is said that only dragons can hear the sound which comes out of this Phoenix Jade Zither. I hope you'll be able to listen to it."

Gulping to show how anxious she was when hoping for Jian Shen to be capable of listening to the music she was going, Wu Qing looked towards him one last time with her purple eyes after which she closed them and began getting ready to pluck the zither's strings.

Seeing this, Jian Shen began observing the woman closely.

Long brown hair, a voluptuous body just like her sister, violet coloured eyes, a serene temperament which was in disarray right now for some reason.

All in all, she didn't look like someone who would use special charming techniques to take control of anyone the way she tried to do with him.

So what was it that was causing her to do this?

Did her current situation force her into this, or was someone forcing her to do this?

While Jian Shen was thinking such things, Wu Qing finally began strumming the zither.

With a melody that could love one's soul coming out of it, Jian Shen other than feeling calm and relaxed found that something weird was trying to penetrate his conscious and take control of it.

Luckily, due to how strong he was and possessing two strong swords on either side of his waist, Jian Shen had nothing to fear and continued listening to the music which was pleasant to listen to.

At the same time, he couldn't help but grin from sensing two presences approaching him.

One of them was someone he was familiar with, Wu Ning, and the other one was someone he didn't know but gave off an aura that was very close to the pair of sisters.

But, after they reached a certain distance from him the two women stopped and didn't come any closer as if they were afraid that they'd cause trouble for Wu Qing and end up interrupting her due to which they'd fail to take control of Jian Shen.

"Stop. He's obviously not being affected by your charming techniques."
