Noticing Kong Tiande's naked gaze, Xia Younan felt sick in her heart, but she forced herself to suppress it. She pretended to look at him casually, then lowered her head shyly and smiled.

This smile was like a hundred flowers blooming. Kong Tiande felt his heart beating faster than ever before. His nose felt hot and two strands of blood came out of his nose.

"General." Seeing this, the lackey beside him quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his food, and teased him lewdly, "Look at how impatient the general is. He has already entered our house, are you still afraid that you can't eat?"

Kong Tiande ignored him and stood up from the stool and almost ran towards Xia Younan.

Seeing this, the old troupe leader hurriedly knelt down with the other members of the troupe and saluted, "Greetings, General Kong."

"Greetings, General Kong~" Xia Younan also wanted to kneel down.

"Hurry up, my beauty." Kong Tiande quickly helped her up, stared at her beautiful face, and asked gently, "My beauty, are you the legendary Miss Bailing?"

Xia Younan nodded slightly, "General, you are too kind. I am Bai Ling."

Kong Tiande nodded and praised repeatedly: "Great, great! What a wonderful person! People say that Miss Bailing is beautiful and has a sweet voice. Seeing her today, she is indeed a million times more beautiful than the legend says. Miss Bailing, even if Chang'e came down to earth, she might not be as beautiful as you, right?"

Xia Younan smiled and blushed, "General, you are exaggerating. I am not very pretty, and I really don't deserve your praise."

"Good, good, you are beautiful, well-educated, modest and kind, a beauty unparalleled in the world!" Kong Tiande couldn't help but praise her again, and then waved his hand, "Go, sing a song for this general, and this general will reward you handsomely!"

"Yes." Xia Younan bent his knees and walked towards the stage with the old owner and others.

Kong Tiande sat back on his tiger-skin chair, staring at the stage intently.

Following the sound of a gong, the troupe's band began playing music, and the troupe members appeared on stage in their unique theatrical costumes.

Kong Tiande had absolutely no interest in other people's performances. He didn't understand opera at all and just thought their babbling was very noisy.

It was not until Xia Younan appeared on the scene that his eyes began to light up again.

He saw the beauty on the stage in a bright red costume embroidered with peonies. She swung her wide sleeves lightly and walked slowly with lotus steps. Her petite figure was like a willow swaying in the breeze, extremely graceful. Kong Tiande felt itchy to behold her.

Her naturally charming almond-shaped eyes were rolling with watery waves, and her bright red lips opened and closed slightly, making sweet melodies like silver bells.

Kong Tiande still couldn't understand what she was singing. He just stared at her blankly, and the whole world seemed to stand still.

Not only him, but everyone in the yard was intoxicated and immersed in the sights and sounds.

I don’t know how long it took, but with another gong sounded by the old boss, the play finally came to an end.

The actors left the stage, and Kong Tiande ran to Xia Younan impatiently, saying with a wry smile: "Miss Bailing, you sing really beautifully. I also want to learn to sing opera. Why don't you stay for a few days and teach me?"

"Ah? But we still have to go back to Yanggu City. The owner said that there are other people who have booked the entire theater to watch the opera." Xia Younan pretended to be embarrassed.

Kong Tiande waved his hand and suggested, "Then let your troupe leader take his people back first and choose a female role to replace you."

"This..." Xia Younan looked at the old boss hesitantly, as if waiting for his decision.

Kong Tiande frowned impatiently, fearing that Xia Younan would leave, so he simply ordered the people in the troupe to leave:

"Alright, this general wants Miss Bailing to stay in the mansion for a few days, and you are not qualified to refuse. Now, take the reward and go back quickly. When you leave the city, just use the token you used when you left."

Upon hearing this, the old troupe owner looked at Xia Younan and asked, and when Xia Younan nodded at him, he pretended to be polite and thanked Kong Tiande profusely, took a considerable amount of reward money, and led the troupe away.

"Miss Bailing~" Kong Tiande called Xia Younan in an obscene manner, "Go back to your room and take off your makeup, dress up nicely, and come to my room tonight to teach me how to sing opera, okay?"

Xia Younan was secretly delighted, thinking that the opportunity had come!

"I obey your command. Thank you for your kindness, General." She bowed to Kong Tiande softly and walked away with her slender waist.

"What a natural beauty!" Looking at her charming back, Kong Tiande couldn't help but sigh.

The sun sank into the west, and the light veil of night unconsciously covered everything near and far. The moon emitted a dim light, and the timid stars hid without a trace.

Xia Younan put on light makeup, put on Miss Bailing's pink silk dress, tied her hair into a flowing bun, and lightly inserted a hidden golden hairpin into it.

Just as she finished getting ready and dressed, Kong Tiande sent someone to invite her.

Xia Younan sneered, opened the door and followed the servant out of the room.

On the way, she saw the two girls from the daytime lying pitifully at the window of the room, looking out, with tears stains all over their faces.

Kong Tiande was rubbing his hands anxiously in the room at this time. When he heard the knock on the door, he ran over hurriedly and opened the door.

The beautiful woman at the door changed into light clothes, but she was beautiful in a different way, which amazed him again.

"General... Ouch~" Before Xia Younan could finish her words, Kong Tiande anxiously dragged her into the house, then turned around and slammed the door shut.

"General, you..." Xia Younan pretended to be afraid and stepped back.

Kong Tiande swallowed his saliva like a hungry wolf and said with a malicious smile: "Miss Bailing, this general likes you, how about you and this general be husband and wife?"

Xia Younan opened her big innocent eyes and blushed, "General, what are you talking about? Didn't you want me to teach you how to sing opera?"

Kong Tiande laughed, the fat on his face trembling, "Yes, if you follow me, you can teach me opera every day. Miss Bailing, I really like you. I fell in love with you at first sight. I beg you to help me."

As he spoke, his fat, greasy hands reached out to grab Xia Younan's jade hands.

"Oh, General~" Xia Younan said coquettishly, turned her body away, and played hard to get with him.

When Kong Tianci saw her shy and timid look, blood started flowing from his nose and he became even more impatient to pester her.

"Bai Ling, my sweetheart, please fulfill my wish. You are so beautiful and I love you so much. As long as you follow me, I will ensure that you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."

"But, don't you already have a wife?" Xia Younan pouted her lips sadly, which made her look even more charming.

"Divorce! Divorce immediately, I want you to be my legal wife!" Faced with such beauty, Kong Tiande had completely lost his mind, his mind filled with the words "To die under the peony flowers, to be a romantic ghost"

"Hmm..." Xia Younan pretended to think about it for a while, then nodded, "Okay then, Bailing is willing to follow the general."

"Hey! Good! Good!" Kong Tiande was overjoyed and said yes repeatedly. He pulled her arm and pulled her to the bed. "Then Miss Bailing, let's have the bridal chamber first and hold the wedding tomorrow. This general really can't help it."

Xia Younan's eyes rolled, and when he was pulled, he deliberately kicked over a stool beside the table, making a "bang" sound.

"General!" As soon as the voice fell, the door was pushed open with great force, and a dozen guards holding swords rushed in from outside.
