"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times, showing how happy he was.

With his polite manners, Long Chen made a strong impression on Wang Yun, who came from a prestigious family. Additionally, Long Chen’s unique talent, "Dragon and Phoenix Among Men," further increased Wang Yun’s liking for him.

However, Long Chen’s surprise meeting with Wang Yun made him feel somewhat uneasy, as Wang Yun’s reputation in this parallel world was substantial. Wang Yun held a high position and considerable power, and Long Chen had to be careful not to offend him.

Wang Yun was also pleased with Long Chen’s abilities. He was delighted to see this young man, as most other outsiders he had met in the game had relatively low achievements. Wang Yun had even stopped personally meeting newcomers, but Long Chen’s remarkable achievements had piqued his interest.

Currently, Wang Yun was actively recruiting capable individuals to help him in the fight against the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yu Province. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion began, Wang Yun was appointed as the Governor of Yu Province by the Eastern Han government. He wanted to quickly suppress the Yellow Turbans in his territory and bring stability to Yu Province. Wang Yun had gathered a group of talented advisors but lacked military leaders.

With all these factors in mind, Long Chen considered Wang Yun’s offer. Wang Yun was not only offering substantial resources but also his favor, which would be invaluable in the turbulent times of the Three Kingdoms. Furthermore, offending Wang Yun, who held a prominent position and considerable power, would not be wise.

After some contemplation, Long Chen said, "I am willing to stay in Yu Province and help you in pacifying the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lord Wang Yun."

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!" Wang Yun was clearly thrilled. Long Chen’s well-mannered response and his extraordinary talent made Wang Yun like him even more.

Additionally, Wang Yun was searching for talented individuals to join him in suppressing the Yellow Turbans in Yu Province, and Long Chen’s remarkable achievements made him a prime candidate.

Long Chen had agreed to Wang Yun’s request. The promise of resources and military support had enticed him. Long Chen knew that in a chaotic era like this, a lack of resources and support could be detrimental to any leader’s efforts. Having resources for sustenance and military provisions was crucial for leading an effective force.

Moreover, Long Chen had another consideration: Wang Yun himself. At this point, offending Wang Yun was not an option. As a prominent figure in the Eastern Han government, Wang Yun held significant power and authority.

Lastly, Long Chen thought about the political situation in this parallel world. He realized that it was not the same as the historical account he knew. In this world, the events and personalities could be quite different. Given this, Long Chen believed that he needed to adapt and use the opportunities presented to him.

The last factor that pushed him to accept Wang Yun’s proposal was that Long Chen didn’t have many other options. His small force of around a thousand men would not make a significant impact if he decided to go north to join larger factions like Liu Bei, Sun Jian, or Cao Cao. He would simply be a small fish in a big pond.

After careful consideration, Long Chen replied, "Lord Wang Yun, I am willing to assist you in pacifying the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Yu Province."

Wang Yun was delighted with Long Chen’s response and smiled. "Excellent! If you can help me suppress the Yellow Turbans in Yu Province, I will recommend you to the court and ensure that you receive the rewards you deserve."

"Thank you, Lord. Your generosity is deeply appreciated," Long Chen said with gratitude.

Wang Yun, recognizing Long Chen’s potential, saw an opportunity to gain a valuable ally. "You are a guest of honor in my home today. I’ll introduce you to my adopted daughter."

Wang Yun then ordered his servants to summon his adopted daughter, Diaochan, to perform a dance in the hall.

Long Chen couldn’t believe his luck. He had heard of Diaochan, one of the Four Beauties of ancient China, and he was about to meet her in person. He asked Wang Yun, "May I know the name of your adopted daughter?"

Wang Yun replied, "She is named Diaochan. I found her while selecting entertainers outside. Feeling pity for her, I brought her into my home for training. Later, I adopted her as my daughter. She is no different from my biological daughter. Her dancing skills are extraordinary, and you will witness them shortly."

Before long.

Several dancers gracefully entered the hall, dressed in pale white silk dresses, with voluptuous figures and exquisite beauty, making them top-tier entertainers. Long Chen’s companions, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, had never seen such beautiful women before and were captivated, unable to take their eyes off these beauties.

Long Chen scanned the group and, although they were all top-tier beauties, they didn’t quite match his imagination of Diaochan.

"Which one of them is Diaochan?" Long Chen asked in a hushed voice.

"She hasn’t appeared yet," Wang Yun replied.

Just then, a fragrant breeze filled the hall, permeating the entire space with a delicate fragrance. A white figure stepped into the center of the group of women, resembling a queen among a garden of flowers.

Long Chen was taken aback, losing himself in the breathtaking presence of the woman. It wasn’t just her physical beauty that captivated him; it was her ethereal and vulnerable aura that stirred a strong protective instinct within him.

She seemed like a celestial being, as beautiful as the moon goddess Chang’e descending to the mortal realm.

Beauty beyond that of mortal women...

In that moment, Long Chen had only one thought: This woman is mine!

He was so entranced that when he finally snapped out of his daze, the dance had already concluded, and the women had left.

Long Chen’s starry eyes were locked onto the woman who had been in the center of the group. He didn’t blink, as if he had been ensnared by her captivating presence.

Sensing Long Chen’s intense gaze, Diaochan met his eyes with a subtle glance.

What a pair of captivating eyes they were!

They were like clear and cold spring water, unfathomably deep, bright and captivating.

A single glance and a smile from her could charm all living creatures; the beauties of the harem would pale in comparison.

Everything happened in a flash, but it left an indelible impression on Long Chen.

"I must take my leave," Diaochan said with a graceful bow and exited the hall.

As she turned away, two faint blushes appeared on her snow-white cheeks.

What an attractive young man! He truly exudes an extraordinary aura.

No wonder my foster father had me perform for him. He must be an esteemed guest.

In just one glance, Long Chen’s Charisma rating of 100 deeply affected Diaochan. Additionally, Diaochan was in the prime of her youth and had some knowledge of romantic affairs, which only heightened her admiration.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, standing behind Long Chen, exchanged knowing glances.

"Long Chen, I wonder how my daughter’s dance performance was," Wang Yun asked as he took a sip of tea.

"Exquisite, truly exquisite!"

It’s been said that heroes are vulnerable to the charms of beautiful women, and it was true.

Now Long Chen understood why in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, two warlords, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, would become enemies due to a woman. Lu Bu even went so far as to commit patricide for the sake of Diaochan. At that time, Diaochan had already lost her looks due to the abuse she suffered from Dong Zhuo, but Lu Bu, not bearing a grudge, treated her with utmost tenderness.

Initially, Long Chen had dismissed such actions, wondering how a man could act this way for a woman. However, today he experienced the true meaning of "bewitching beauty."

During the conversation with Wang Yun, Long Chen was distracted, and it wasn’t until nightfall that he took his leave.

"Don’t forget to come to my tent tomorrow to discuss our strategy against the Yellow Turbans!" Wang Yun reminded as Long Chen was leaving.

"I won’t forget," Long Chen replied with a bow.

On his way back, Zhou Tai teased, "Lord, have you taken a liking to that woman? Should I help you bring her back?"

"Nonsense!" Long Chen replied with a smirk.

As night descended, Long Chen lay in his room, deep in thought. Today, he had finally seen the woman he most wanted to meet, Diaochan.

Excitement coursed through his mind, and he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Wang Yun had been quite generous to him, gifting him a spacious and luxurious mansion with an array of servants. Whether there were Wang Yun’s informants among them was uncertain.

Now, Long Chen commanded a total of 4,200 soldiers, making him a small warlord. Compared to the native NPC warlords, he was still far behind, but compared to other game players, he was a giant, surpassing 99% of them.

In the game "Great Lord," the native NPCs were the strongest in the early game, and game players would gradually catch up in the late game.

"Let’s check the state chat room for any valuable information."

Long Chen opened the state chat room to see if there was any noteworthy information.

The first message on the chat was highlighted in green: "Congratulations to the alliance ’Wind Rules the World’ in Yuzhou for their victory in this battle, becoming the first alliance to defeat the Little Fang faction in Yuzhou!"
