Chapter 146.1 : Cursed Fate (Part 1)
Seeing Chu Ge stop and sink into thought, Yuan Jue instead began to enjoy serving him.
Yuan Jue was naturally delighted at heart. Although Chu Ge did not say anything, this was clearly a sign of his approval. This made Yuan Jue—who had long placed Chu Ge above herself—unspeakably happy. She felt that Chu Ge's recognition was more blissful and gratifying than anything else under heaven.
However, as time passed, Chu Ge began to feel that Yuan Jue's massage was gradually moving further inward. Naturally, a bit of heat stirred within him.
At this moment, Yuan Jue's face also flushed red. She had only intended to knead Chu Ge's legs thoroughly, inside and out, but had not expected to provoke such a reaction from him. Worse still, she had just accidentally brushed against it with her movements.
That single touch was no small matter—it was as if she had enraged him. Even through the covering, Yuan Jue could see its furious stirring.
She was at a loss for what to do, but after a moment's thought, another idea arose.
'Since sooner or later it will come to this anyway… the young master must be uncomfortable right now. Perhaps I should just…'
As she thought on, Yuan Jue secretly lifted her gaze to glance at Chu Ge. Seeing that he was still wearing the expression of someone resting with eyes closed, she did not know where she found the courage, but she slowly moved from his side to directly in front of him.
Her cold and beautiful face was now even redder.
Born into a noble family, she naturally understood matters between men and women. She had even overheard maidservants discussing ways to serve their master and win his favor. Some of those blush-inducing topics had been hazily remembered by her.
In the past, she had regarded such shameful things as useless. But now, they seemed to have found their moment…
She even felt a trace of gratitude toward those particularly bold maidservants who had discussed such matters among themselves. If not for them, she truly would not know what to do at this moment…
Her jade-like hands slowly undid the sash at Chu Ge's waist as Yuan Jue softly said, "Young master… Jue'er will serve you…"
The tremor in her voice was unmistakable.
Through the slits of his eyelids, Chu Ge saw that Yuan Jue's face was already flushed crimson. He naturally understood that this cold and beautiful woman must be so embarrassed she wished she could burrow into the ground.
Yet even so, she was still willing to devote herself fully to fulfilling her duties as a maid.
Chu Ge also wanted to spare her some of that awkwardness. Thus, he let out a light hum, pretending to remain asleep, allowing Yuan Jue to act as she wished.
Seeing that Chu Ge did not react too strongly to her actions, Yuan Jue finally relaxed, and only then did she have the leisure to look more closely at what was before her.
This glance alone made her heart leap in shock.
'You're joking… this… how could it be like this…'
Recalling what the maidservants had said and comparing it to what she now saw before her, the gap was simply far too great.
Yuan Jue felt utterly incredulous.
She silently examined it, estimated for a moment, then raised her hand to measure against her own throat. Fortunately, she was a cultivator—had it been an ordinary person, she feared…
'The young master truly is… outstanding in every respect, a peerless figure of this age!'
Her heart was filled with a tangled mix of astonishment, embarrassment, and other emotions.
