The Rarest Trophy from Xuzhou
We returned safely to Huiyin.
I handed Lu Ming over to the maids working in the government residence there.
“C-Colonel, sir. Who exactly is this woman?”
“Don’t ask questions. Soak her in hot water for three full days, feed her properly, and help her regain her strength.”
“Understood, sir.”
The maids didn’t know the full story, but since she was a young woman their colonel had brought back, they immediately set about preparing to attend to her every need.
The expensive silk clothes she wore had been torn to shreds after half a month of living wild, stained with blood and filth. Her once snow-white skin was now rough and cracked, covered in countless scrapes and bruises.
They saw the dried blood on her face and her tangled silver hair, so they prepared combs and fragrant herbs.
“Who is the most senior maid here?”
“That would be me, Colonel.”
I slipped some gold into her hand and spoke quietly.
“Wash the girl thoroughly, feed her well, let her sleep deeply, and divide whatever is left among yourselves.”
They flinched in surprise but quickly pocketed the gold and began tending to Lu Ming with renewed focus.
She looked at me once with those empty eyes, then shook her head as if she had already given up on everything.
Once everything was settled, I went back to Yu Fu, picked up one of the bamboo slips, and examined it.
“I’ve seen enough. I plan to leave in three days.”
“Ah, is that so? Will you be returning to the capital, then?”
“No. The Inspector is staying at Xiapi, so I’ll deliver all the inspection reports I’ve written and travel slowly from there.”
That was one reason, but the real one was that Cao Cao’s promised month was nearly over.
I had secured Lu Bu’s daughter, and once the campaign in Xuzhou concluded, the court would begin handing out rewards and promotions.
If I could persuade Gao Shun, the final piece of the puzzle would fall into place.
“Also, thank you for letting me use the government residence all this time. I’ll find other quarters from now on, so Governor Yu may use it freely.”
“How could I? As an Imperial Inspector, you should rightfully use the official quarters…”
Yu Fu looked bewildered, but I had no intention of staying in the noisy government office any longer.
Besides, I had already set my eyes on a fine mansion in Huiyin.
***
“Lord Zhang gave us strict orders to serve the Colonel with the utmost care.”
“So this is the villa.”
It was by far the largest residence in Huiyin.
Zhang Jian, the wealthy merchant who had supported our army, had built it as a summer villa. All the servants inside belonged to his trading company, and they had cleared the entire spacious estate just for me.
“We have also brought the silver-haired young lady. She is currently being dressed in another room, so please wait a moment.”
“I need a bath too.”
“We will prepare a medicinal bath at once.”
The weather was cold, so I asked for hot water to warm my bones.
The moment I spoke, I was led to a bathing chamber filled with steaming water. Maids waited inside to attend me.
As soon as I sank into the tub, the maids began massaging my shoulders, washing my hair, and scrubbing every inch of my body with meticulous care.
“When I’m finished bathing, prepare a wine table. I dislike heated wine, so serve it cold. And make sure it’s the kind that won’t leave a hangover.”
“Yes, Colonel.”
“For the side dishes, any meat dish will do, but if you have rabbit, bring that.”
“Rabbit… you say?”
“Preferably well-prepared and perfectly roasted.”
“Understood. I will obtain some and prepare the table immediately.”
The steward of Zhang Jian’s household hurried off to fulfill my requests.
After a refreshing bath, I changed into fresh clothes and waited leisurely in the room. Soon the door opened and the wine table was brought in, fully laden.
As requested, the wine was served cold. The rabbit meat had been expertly deboned, seasoned, and roasted to a beautiful golden brown.
“My lord, the young lady is entering.”
Clap—clap—clap—
I clapped three times from where I sat. The door opened, and Lu Ming, the silver-haired beauty, stepped inside.
After days of proper medicine and nourishing food, the gaunt body she had gained from living as a fugitive in the wild had filled out again, color returning to her cheeks. She had been thoroughly washed, scented, lightly made up, dressed in fine clothes, and her hair neatly arranged before being brought to me.
Seen like this, she truly was an unrivaled beauty.
Yet her eyes remained unfocused. She avoided my gaze and approached in silence.
“You don’t have to bow.”
“Then sit comfortably.”
Lu Ming refused to perform the ceremonial bows a new bride would give in the bridal chamber or to serve me obediently.
So I simply had her sit and poured her some wine.
She took the cup and stared at it wordlessly.
“This wine… it’s the kind my father loved.”
“Then you must like it too. There’s plenty, so drink as much as you want.”
“And the side dish is rabbit meat…”
“I noticed you seemed to like it when we were in the mountains last time.”
“…”
At that moment her crimson eyes bored into me.
But she had already given up on resisting. She simply emptied the cup in silence and ate the rabbit meat.
Her face showed neither the expression of someone about to cry nor the rage of someone who might kill me in my sleep.
There was only nothingness—an absolute void. She ate and drank like a machine, quietly waiting for whatever fate I had in store for her.
It felt as if I had been handed a perfectly blank sheet of white paper, and now I had to pick up a brush and paint an entire scroll with her.
So I drank and ate in silence with her.
Occasionally I touched her pale hands or feet, but she showed no reaction at all.
After the meal, I called the servants. They came in and cleared away the empty dishes.
We drank a tea meant to cleanse the palate and restore vitality. Soon my body grew pleasantly warm.
“Mmm…”
When I lifted Lu Ming’s light body, she quietly lay down on the bed without a word.
She loosened her own robe sash as if to say do as you please, then turned her gaze away.
Instead of stripping her completely, I only opened the front of her clothes and removed her undergarments. Somehow that felt far more arousing.
She had a petite frame and slender build. Her breasts, modest in size while she lay down, had lost some volume from her hardships, but proper nourishment would soon restore their fullness.
Her narrow waist still bore scars from falls and scrapes during her flight. Her legs were smooth, especially strong and toned.
Because she had trained in swordsmanship, her flexibility was exceptional. When I grabbed one leg and moved it around, it spread open with surprising ease.
After kneading and caressing her, I finally removed the last piece of underwear. Beneath it lay a pure white mound.
“Mmm…”
A neat, hairless slit above her firm little buttocks.
In other words… there was no hair at all.
“So smooth?”
“…It fell out.”
“Hm?”
“After that day… my hair turned white, and all the hair below my eyebrows fell out on its own.”
I had heard that trauma could cause hair loss, but this was the first time I learned it could affect pubic hair as well.
Thanks to that, the area beneath her eyebrows was as smooth as if it had been waxed, without a single strand of down.
This was a first for me, so I lifted her head, drew her close, and kissed her.
Soft, repeated pecks. When I licked her lips, her mouth opened naturally and her tongue came out to meet mine.
Even with those dead eyes, her body reacted instinctively whenever I touched it.
She had been sprinkled with famous spices from the trading company and given heavy makeup; a wonderful fragrance rose from her.
I pulled her tighter, tangled our tongues in a deep kiss, then moved to lick her cheek and gently nibble her earlobe.
Even in her dazed state, I felt her body tremble.
Amused by the reaction, I lifted her small, slender hand and kissed the back of it.
Her fingers twitched helplessly. I could feel the pelvis resting on my knee growing hotter.
I moved lower, kissing her slim waist once, then her pelvis, licking the inside of her knee, and finally taking hold of her smooth leg. I studied her snowy-white foot for a moment before pressing my lips to the top of it.
Chu—
It had simply been a foot kiss because her feet looked cute while I continued kissing downward.
Yet her body shuddered again as she stared vacantly into the air with those lifeless eyes.
Were her feet an erogenous zone? Or was it simply funny how her body kept reacting honestly while her face remained completely expressionless?
“So that’s how it is. No matter how hard you try to hide it with a blank face, your body is honest.”
“…”
“It’s better to feel it while you still can. That way I’ll cherish you and love you even more.”
“…Just do it.”
Lu Ming spoke in a low voice and spread her own legs apart.
“All men are the same. Once they obtain a woman, they throw her down and ravish her.”
Your father was the same way… I almost said, but decided against it. Instead I grabbed her widely spread thighs with both hands and buried my face in her smooth mound.
It was utterly alien—pure white skin without a single blemish or strand of hair, slick and flawless.
In this era, a naturally hairless white pussy without any shaving was an extremely rare treasure.
The small petal-like inner lips were soft, but completely dry.
In times like this, I needed to stimulate her clitoris to make her wet.
I spread her open with my fingers. Inside, the thin membrane-covered passage twitched.
I pressed my nose against her, took a deep breath, then began licking. Her thighs soon started to tremble.
“The rarest treasure I obtained in the land of Xuzhou is this glistening, sparkling virgin pussy of yours, isn’t it?”
“…”
I soaked her with saliva, rubbing her clit to draw out more nectar. I read every twitch of her body with practiced skill. When my own cock strained painfully against my pants, I rose slowly.
I planned to do all sorts of things to this broken girl tonight, but first I wanted to release one load to clear my head.
I rubbed my hardened cock against her now-slick folds a few times, then made up my mind and thrust inside.
It entered surprisingly smoothly, but there was still resistance halfway.
I snapped my hips and drove forward with force. The membrane tore, and I sank all the way to the root.
“Hoo…?”
“…Kh!”
She squeezed her eyes shut and kept her lips tightly pressed together. That single sound barely escaped.
Her body shook violently. Her lower half moved on its own while her legs kicked helplessly in the air.
Inside her pussy was slick and soft, yet the countless folds of her inner walls stimulated me intensely.
I had embraced many women, but this was completely different from the tight squeezing or flooding wetness I had known before.
Her passage was covered in countless wrinkles that caressed me with every movement, as if thousands of tiny tentacles were writhing inside.
“You really live up to your name. What a legendary vessel, Lu Ming.”
At that moment her eyes flew open and met mine.
For the briefest instant, awareness returned to her gaze. She looked at me with contempt and something like resignation, then turned her head away again.
I began to move my hips, savoring the incredible texture of her depths, and started thrusting in earnest.
The bed creaked. Her body grew hotter with every stroke.
