Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World

Chapter 69: Please Invite Him To My Bedroom

Black eyes like crystal obsidian, the lips painted with rosiest red. With light brown hairs cascading behind her back, and exquisite dress flowing around her body like multicolored streams.

With her slender arms and snow white legs, her curvy body was like a beautiful statue, sculpted perfectly.

A sword adorned in her hands, with a beautiful scabbard protecting its lean body.

Jia Hao couldn't help but get mesmerized when he looked at Xu Chenlan for the first time.

' Haah, No matter what, beauties are simply everywhere. Be in modern times or ancient times.' Jia Hao couldn't help but sigh.

" Mr. Tong Xiao, Youg Master Xue Yu, and Young Lord Jia Hao, I welcome to this humble girl's abode. I hope the testing method of mine didn't offend you."

" Haha, It's alright, Lady Xu. Such things are common in places like this. I also remembered making poems for Lady Cha years ago. Good old days." Tong Xiao sighed.

" It looks like Mr. Tong is a regular visitor. I wonder how many courtesans smitten over you across the years?" Jia Hao couldn't help but laugh lightly.

" I won't deny. Alas, I am getting old…So I would just spend the rest of my day leisurely."

Jia Hao looked at Tong Xiao and realized he was also stuck at the Ninth stage of the Body Strengthening Realm. Meanwhile, Xue Yu is already at the peak of the Early stage of the Profound Awakening Realm.

" Sister Xu, I guess you forgot about me, hm?" Xue Yu looked at Xu Chenlan and chuckled.

" How can I, Third Young Master Xue?" Xu Chenlan smiled. " If I had forgotten, I wouldn't have invited you."

" Invite? Does that mean he didn't write any poems to come here?" Jia Hao's expression turned odd.

" I apologize, Young Master Jia. But two of them are my esteemed guests. So, they came here without any test." Xu Chenlan glanced at Jia Hao and smiled lightly.

" I apologize if that had offended you, Young Master Jia."

" Is that so?" Jia Hao sighed. " Well, I don't really mind it though. Miss Xu can remain assured."

Saying that, Jia Hao activated his Sage's Divine Eyes and glanced at Xu Chenlan.

[ Name: Xu Chenlan]

[ Age: 23]

[ Remark: Once a proud daughter of the Xu Family now reduced to a mere courtesan. However, That didn't take her talent away. Bearing a pure blue qi, she is a skilled martial artist who reached Mid stage of the Profound Awakening Realm]

[ Recent Future Point: Two days later, she commits suicide by drinking poison due to force violation and marriage proposal by her enemy]

' Ayoo?'

Jia Hao became alarmed when he saw the future point. Without any hesitation, he activated his seed of desire, peeking into the heart of Xu Chenlan.

Sorrow, grief, hatred, and disappointment, everything was like a swirl of tempest, swirling in her heart like a dark storm. Although she appeared to be calm and graceful outside, she was already about to be crushed by her own emotions.

' However, she didn't commit suicide out of nowhere. It's clearly stated that she was assaulted by her enemy, leading her to consume poison.'

' So, Can I say today is perhaps the last performance of her?'

" What is it, Young Master Jia? Do you wish to speak anything?"

Jia Hao came back to his senses when he heard the voice of Xu Chenlan. " It's nothing, Miss Xu. I am simply eager to watch your performance."

" Since Young Master Jia insists, This humble girl shall comply."

Suddenly, two rows of four maidens, a total of eight, entered the room carrying various musical instruments.

Jia Hao had to admit that although they looked pale in comparison to Xu Chenlan, each of them could be considered mortal beauty on their own.

Surrounding Xu Chenlan like eight petals of a flower, the maids slowly started to play the music.

Various musical instruments started to play at once as Xu Chenlan's body moved gracefully. Her flowing dress was like a sweep of multicolored radiance, accompanying the gracefulness of her moves.

The music starts with a joyous tone as if a girl is enjoying her childhood. Xu Chenlan's eyes were closed as her lips curled up, giving a smile of satisfaction.

Suddenly, the music took a sharp note, with Xu Chenlan unsheathing her sword. It was like a flash of silver light, making Jia Hao awe before her.

The jade handle and the silver body of the sword looked like a treasured sword of legend, moving gracefully in the hands of Xu Chenlan.

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes gentle, sometimes sharp, Her sword portrayed different forms according to different tunes.

Jia Hao sighed as he could feel the emotions conveyed by Xu Chenlan. She fell from her grace, yet she didn't resign to her fate.

She fought and fought, till her hands became numb, till her feet trembled from the fatigue. The sword trembled as if it was about to fall from her hand, yet it didn't.

She posed gracefully in the end, hiding her face partially by her sword.

Such grace, such emotions, it truly gave a question to every viewer.

Can fate truly can't be changed?

Tong Xiao couldn't help but applause. " Haha, Good! Good! This old man never thought he was going to see such a performance. As expected of White Crane's disciple. You didn't let her down."

Jia Hao could see the subtle change in Xu Chenlan's face, but it returned to normal in a moment. Sheathing her sword, she cupped her fist and bowed.

" I am glad that Elder Tong gave such a high evaluation of my performance. However, I still a long way to go before I reach the stage my master reached."

" Sister Xu, You are truly talented with both beauty and talent. I truly wish to take you away from here. However… I simply can't."

" Third Young Master Xue, I am glad that you care about this poor girl. However, this woman is already sealed in this golden cage, unable to ever go out."

" Haah, I hope heaven bless you, Lady Xu. And all of your worries melt like bubbles in the water."

Tong Xiao got up as he finished his tea. " Today is truly a good day. I guess I will make another good work before I die."

Xue Yu, and the maids kept looking at Jia Hao as he was simply drinking his wine, with his eyes closed. Xu Chenlan also looked at Jia Hao for a brief moment before looking back at Xue Yu.

" Third Young Master, please wait a moment. I wish to give you something."

Saying that, a maid carried out a book, whose pages already become yellowed. Xue Yu's eyes sparkled when he saw that.

" This…Is this the Notes of Hundred Birds written by Lady White Crane?"

" Brother Xue is wise."

" But this…This is too precious for you. She must have gifted you this. I can't take it." Xue Yu held the book as he looked at Xu Chenlan.

" Please keep it, Brother Xue. Perhaps in the future…it will be useless to keep it with me." Xu Chenlan looked at the night sky outside the window as she smiled lightly.

" Very well, I shall keep it safely." Xue Yu nodded. However, before turning around, he couldn't help but look at Jia Hao, who remained silent at this point.

" Hmph, I guess some people don't have eyes to appreciate the beauty." Xue Yu couldn't help but spit lightly.

" I do know how to admire beauty, Brother Xue. Just like I am admiring yours." Jia Hao looked at Xue Yu and spoke with an amused smile.

The gaze, and the smile alarmed Xue Yu, making him rub his face. " Hmph! What a pervert! Eyeing on a young man, you should go to hell!"

" Sister Xu, you better kick him out of here."

" It's alright, Young Master. I believe Young Lord Jia wishes to speak with me something." Xu Chenlan smiled. " Besides, It's already late. You should return."

" Take care of you, Sister Xu."

Snorting at Jia Hao, Xue Yu turned around and left.

" Fate…How abstract and mysterious."

Jia Hao spoke as his index finger rubbed te rim of the glass. Xu Chenlan smiled. " Indeed, How can a person go against what heaven's have decided for us?"

" Others can't and won't. Doesn't mean you can't, Lady Xu." Jia Hao smiled lightly.

" Grief, sorrow, guilt, disappointment…It's true that a person faces such things quite often in their lives. However, does that mean one should end their lives?"

" Perhaps it's better to die an honorable death than living like a…" Xu Chenlan didn't finish her sentence.

" Well, In that case…Why not now? Why don't you die right now?" Jia Hao looked at Xu Chenlan.

" Is it because deep in your heart, there is still a sliver of hope? A hope that allows you to hone your skill and live every day, even if it's burdening you?"

" If there is still hope, Why not clench it? Why not still fight to the bitter end, to show who is powerful? Who is it? The mysterious fate? Or your willpower?"

Suddenly, Xu Chenlan was shocked as she looked at Jia Hao, looking deep into his eyes.

Turning around, she walked towards her boudoir.

" Bring Young Lord into my bedroom."

" Haah????"
