Dawn’s faint light, the soft rays seep through the sheer bed curtains, casting a hazy glow over that exceptionally beautiful face.
Her delicate cheeks blushed pink, like dawn clouds rising, her eyes shimring, carrying a bashful reluctance to speak.
Chen Mo’s gaze slightly lost focus.
After all, he was well-accustod to the ways of the world.
Cold elegance, mature charm, youthful vigor, heroic spirit... He had seen all sorts of stunning beauties, but when it ca to being enchanting, Gu Manzhi was in a class of her own.
That special temperant, a mixture of allure and innocence, was like poppy, seductive and obviously dangerous, yet irresistibly addictive.
Gu Manzhi nestled in Chen Mo’s embrace, her acute spiritual sense as a Sixth-rank Mage allowed her to clearly feel his breathing grow heavy, muscles tense, Qi-blood pumping like wildly beating drums.
"Hmm?"
"This is..."
Suddenly, she noticed a change, her pretty face instantly flushed red.
She nearly forgot, she herself possessed the Innate Extre Yin Body, and hadn’t consciously restrained her aura.
A robust martial cultivator, plus the morning buff, how could he keep under control?
"My constitution hasn’t fully matured, this could be detrintal to him... Moreover, this is too fast..."
"But pushing him away now, wouldn’t that be too cruel?"
Gu Manzhi’s heart was in turmoil.
At that mont, she recalled a secret manual from Yu’er, containing so techniques that seed to achieve the effect without going that far...
Her teeth lightly biting her red lips, her eyes determined, seemingly making a firm decision.
Chen Mo felt quite awkward at the mont.
Xiao Chen pointed at the demoness before him, ready to act at any mont.
"Right, I have the Supre Heart-Cleansing Mantra, definitely can suppress it!"
"Bright as it appears, elusive as it is, wisdom clear and mind serene... Huh?!"
His chant abruptly stopped.
Under Chen Mo’s incredulous gaze, Gu Manzhi sat up, tied up her hair, and slowly leaned forward.
...
Yu’er opened her blurry sleepy eyes.
Last night was her first real sleep, rather than just being on standby as usual.
The mysterious aura emitted by Chen Mo during his breathing exercises made her feel exceptionally comfortable, her Divine Soul and body more harmonious, her control improved significantly.
She propped herself up, rubbed her eyes, and seeing this scene, curiosity flickered in her eyes.
What are they doing?
After watching closely for a while, she couldn’t help but cuddle up closer.
?!
Chen Mo: Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ノノ
...
It was broad daylight.
After expending both essence and energy, Chen Mo left the Imperial Music Bureau.
Gu Manzhi cald her breathing, her cheeks still flushed with red, the shadow on the ground suddenly twisted, and a figure wrapped in a grey robe suddenly appeared.
"Chen Mo left?"
"..."
"Lucky I ran fast last night, or he’d have discovered ."
"..."
"Hey, why aren’t you speaking?"
"..."
Seeing the robed figure approaching, Gu Manzhi tensed, swallowed sothing with a gulp.
The robed figure curiously asked, "What are you eating? Give so, I haven’t had breakfast yet."
Gu Manzhi’s face flushed red, her eyes glaring at him full of murderous intent.
"Ye Henshui, I’ll kill you sooner or later!"
The robed figure, a bit confused, scratched his head, "Such morning temper... Hm? What’s that sll..."
"Scram!"
...
...
...
Chengran Street, Jinxiu Workshop.
The mistress had just seen off a few ladies when a tall figure walked in.
"I’m here for clothes."
The man was wrapped in a black robe, wearing a hood, his whole person obscured in shadows, his voice deep and raspy.
"Young master, you’ve co."
The mistress recognized him at a glance.
After all, not many n visit here, especially one so tall and heroic, standing out like a crane among chickens.
"Make five of each item on the blueprint."
The man placed a stack of papers on the table.
The proprietress picked them up and glanced at them, her expression gradually becoming grave.
"Young Master, did you design these undergarnts?"
The man silently acknowledged.
The proprietress took a deep breath, growing more astonished as she looked.
As a big shot in the QQ underwear industry, she was confident in her craftsmanship, unrivaled even by the Clothing Bureau.
But these drafts before her nearly overturned her understanding... Bold innovations, perfectly placed cut-outs, and ultimate utilization of fabric, it was like a dinsion-reducing strike!
If these undergarnts were to spread, they would surely create a craze among the noble ladies in the city!
It was hard to believe that these were the works of a man.
"How long will it take to have the goods ready?" The man in the black robe asked.
"These are slightly more complex, about seven days should suffice," the proprietress answered.
"Alright."
The man in the black robe snapped his fingers, and a stack of fabrics appeared out of thin air.
The proprietress was shocked, feeling the man before her beco even more mysterious.
As he turned to leave and reached the door, the proprietress ca to her senses and said urgently:
"Young Master, may I have your na?"
"I’m just an unknown designer."
The man in the black robe did not turn back, and casually said, "You can call — Whip Woman Hero."
"Whip Woman Hero?"
The proprietress stared dumbly at his receding figure.
A premonition faintly arose in her heart that this na would soon be widely known among the secluded chambers!
...
In the following days, Chen Mo did not rush to the governnt office.
Although his Divine Soul had recovered and even greatly progressed, since the Empress had told him to rest, he could not waste the paid leave.
Every day, he took leisurely walks, practiced martial arts, listened to songs at the brothel, and casually strolled and dined with Shen Zhixia... His days were exceptionally idle and enriching.
It’s worth ntioning that the little girl Qing’er seed like a changed person, being unusually enthusiastic towards him, constantly calling him "Our Young Master Chen," which was almost sickeningly sweet.
On the fifth day.
The appointnt from the Eastern Royal Palace finally arrived.
In the Zhou Family case, Shen Shuqiu’s contributions were indispensable, naturally leading to his promotion to Deputy Thousand Households, placing one foot into the Qilin Pavilion.
As for Chen Mo, being the main contributor, he was formally appointed as Hundred Households.
The salary he would receive was that of a Deputy Thousand Households, compensating for the shortcomings in his position’s elevation.
But the problem was—
"I’m from Gui Water Bureau, why should I serve as Hundred Households of the Ding Fire Departnt?!"
Chen Mo looked at the appointnt letter, his teeth itching in irritation.
Needless to say, it was definitely arranged by the Busty Empress!
"With Chu Zhuo’s death and Shen Shuqiu’s promotion, there’s a rise and fall in power, and the Empress Faction’s control in the Sky Scale Guard has declined."
"So they want to use this thod to sideline ?"
Chen Mo’s eyes narrowed.
He made up his mind that next ti he saw the Empress, he would definitely scrutinize her fiercely with the Golden Eyes of Truth!
"Wait a second..."
"Doesn’t this make the direct superior of Li Yuan?"
"Sothing to do for the General, nothing to do against the General... cough cough, it seems the situation might not be so bad after all."
...
Huai Zhen Fang, Sky Scale Guard Station.
Dense rows of black-clad assistant officers lined up in the training ground, like a dark cloud pressing down, creating a suffocating atmosphere.
When Chen Mo walked in, all eyes instantly focused on him.
Recently, Tiandu City had been turbulent, shaking the political structures, with nurous important figures involved.
Although not quite clear on what exactly happened, everyone knew one thing—
Chen Mo was the man stirring up the storm!
"Ah, isn’t this Hundred Households Chen?"
"Late on the first day of your promotion, you might get fined~"
A man in a pink martial robe swayed his hips as he walked over, his face peachy, his eyes carrying a coquettish look, his tender voice giving everyone goosebumps.
Bing Fire Departnt Hundred Households, Qiu Longgang.
"We’re colleagues now, we must cooperate well and look after each other~"
Qiu Longgang said, even throwing a flirtatious wink.
Chen Mo completely ignored him and walked into the governnt office.
Qiu Longgang’s expression froze, his cheeks covered with a layer of frost, he huffed indignantly and followed with a swaying waist.
