The two slaves were named Tao and Hua, which together sounded like Peach Blossom. They looked decent enough, though their skin was a bit rough, and their large hands and feet indicated they were used to hard labor.
This was San Chun's first encounter with slaves. Although the people of Niushan Village were poor, each one was a good citizen. Even the wealthiest in the village, Zhang Dahuo from the west, only employed two servants. Using slaves was a common practice in the Seven Kingdoms, but only royal families and nobles were qualified to keep them. It was rare to see a dance troupe with such significant power.
As soon as the two female slaves saw them, their eyes brightened instantly. They respectfully knelt down, waiting for orders. However, their eyes were not innocent at all; they frequently glanced at them, making it feel as if they were undressed.
After a moment of silence, seeing that they did not speak, the two women gently twisted their bodies and slowly crawled closer, their breath lightly brushing against their ears as they softly said, "We are here to serve; do you have any commands, young master?"
San Chun waved her hand, but the female slaves refused to leave, lingering with smiles: "Whatever you desire, we will certainly obey."
Then one of them threw a flirtatious glance that seemed to make her eyes ache.
Finding it amusing, she asked them, "What do you mean by that?"
The two exchanged glances and replied in unison, "What you desire."
What she desired was for them to roll away as far as possible. However, since they were young girls, she had to change her approach: "You may go out as you wish."
Upon hearing those words "as you wish," they took it to heart and considered "go out" as being dismissed entirely.
The two women first expressed overwhelming joy and then quickly began to undress. They stripped off their clothes swiftly as if they were accustomed to it; in the blink of an eye, their upper bodies were bare. Both had astonishing figures; although they were only around fifteen or sixteen years old, they possessed alluring curves that could easily fit in a man's hand. Their waists were so slender that they could be grasped with just one hand, revealing a captivating expanse of fair skin. The two peaks adorned with strawberries swayed slightly with their movements, creating a mesmerizing sight before them.
San Chun sniffed and felt an itch at the tip of her nose; something sticky seemed to be trickling down. She couldn't tell if it was because she had seen too much of something she shouldn't have or what.
In truth, men are naturally inclined to watch women undress; it's an instinctual behavior. Just like cats love fish and bees are drawn to flowers. However, being a woman herself, while she could appreciate the view, she felt no impulse. At moments like this, she regretted not being a man.
Turning her head to look at Qing, he remained composed, covering his eyes with his sleeve and adhering to the principle of not looking at indecent sights.
These two female slaves shared a status similar to those who walked behind carts in chains; perhaps it was their looks that got them assigned to serve in such a manner. Their service mostly involved undressing and sleeping with men of some standing within the caravan—sometimes stewards or guards and occasionally footmen.
San Chun did not expect them to be so casual about it; feeling somewhat flustered, she smiled gently: "Um... there's no need for that right now. Please put your clothes back on; although spring isn't particularly cold, thin clothing can still lead to feeling chilly."
Her gentle appearance was quite deceptive, instantly melting the hearts of the two young girls. After praising them a few more times, she truly regarded them as confidants.
Once the two girls put on their clothes, they resumed their cautious and respectful demeanor from before.
Azure Eyes noticed that the threat was gone and relaxed his sleeves. He wanted to extract some information from the two girls, so he asked, "Who is the owner of this Dance Troupe?"
One girl replied, "It is Shang Family."
Upon hearing these three words, San Chun trembled with excitement. Despite Niushan Village being remote, it had heard of the great name of Shang Family.
The young people in the village, who considered themselves important, often spoke of her. According to this Shang Family, she was from Yue Country, and after its fall, she became a citizen of Chu Country. She was renowned for her beauty, especially for leading a Dance Troupe across the Seven Kingdoms as a woman, which was widely discussed. She was a guest of honor in the palaces of various countries and had once composed a legendary love song with Feng Lingjun of Chu Country in her youth.
In Chu Country, she was highly regarded; many considered her a remarkable woman who embodied both beauty and intelligence. She was generous, proud, graceful in dance, and beloved by every man...
However, this was others' perspective. In Azure Eyes's view, she was one of the most unscrupulous women. He believed that women should be gentle and kind like pearls, understanding and compassionate. As for those who roamed the world, mingling with vice and treating people like livestock for sale, he would never regard them highly; in fact, he would scorn them greatly.
San Chun agreed with his thoughts; any woman he disliked, she would certainly dislike as well. And if he liked a woman, then she would naturally dislike her even more.
Moreover, Azure Wind Antelope was a fact; Dance Troupe was just a pleasant name. Many people in the car were beautiful men and women gathered by Shang Family from various places to be sold or given as playthings to powerful figures across countries. Thus, it could be inferred that Shang Family specifically sent them such a fine carriage—did they consider her and Qing as mere possessions?
Just thinking about possibly being treated as cargo made him feel nauseous. He began to try to get closer to the Female Slaves, hoping to extract some information.
"Two younger sisters, are you going to Ying City on this trip to Chu?"
The term "younger sisters" made the two Female Slaves ecstatic as they exclaimed in unison, "Yes."
"What plans does Shang Family have?"
One Female Slave said, "How would we know what everyone is thinking? However... everyone entering Ying City must be going to see Feng Lingjun."
Feng Lingjun was the top choice among the benefactors they were seeking. San Chun felt a surge of joy and asked a few more questions, mostly about the Shang Family and Feng Lingjun, to which the two Female Slaves answered truthfully.
Qing watched from the side, unable to help but raise an eyebrow. She had initially thought that San Chun was incapable of anything, but it seemed she had underestimated her.
She poked San Chun in the elbow, signaling for the two Female Slaves to leave first.
San Chun agreed on the surface but thought to herself that if she wanted them to leave, why didn't she go herself? After a moment of reflection, she understood; he was probably startled by their earlier actions.
After sending off the two Female Slaves, they discussed what to do next. Just like a Steward, a Dance Troupe does not keep idle people. If they were to eat and drink for free here, it would be difficult to settle that account later.
San Chun racked her brains but couldn't come up with a solution. She asked him, "What should we do?"
"What else can we do? We'll act according to the situation."
Qing yawned and lay down to sleep; it was impressive that she could sleep so soundly in such a cramped space.
San Chun found a corner, closed her eyes, and leaned back. It was already dark, so she decided to wait until morning to figure things out.
