After dealing with Jia Ren, Lin Mo stood up.

He looked at Fengniang on the soft couch again. The shyness and panic of a young man on his face had long since faded, leaving only calm.

"Fengniang, this tea tastes quite good today."

"I've remembered this favor, and I'll definitely repay it when I have the chance."

"Then I'll be waiting."

Feng Niang gave him a flirtatious wink, her voice so sweet it could make one's bones go weak.

"Remember, your sister's door is always open for you."

"You must... come visit us often."

Lin Mo coughed lightly, not daring to respond to the vixen's words.

Goodbye.

He turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

As Fengniang watched him leave, the alluring expression on her face gradually faded, replaced by deep contemplation.

Green Bamboo from the corner walked over, her eyes still filled with resentment.

"Master, are we just going to let him go like that?"

"Otherwise what?"

Fengniang picked up the slender water pipe again, took a puff, and the smoke blurred her charming face.

"You think you can beat him?"

Qingzhu's face flushed red instantly, and in the end, she lowered her head.

From that lightning-fast move, she knew that the gap between her and this man was as vast as an insurmountable chasm.

"This man is far more terrifying than we thought."

Feng Niang's red lips curled into a meaningful smile.

"He not only has the strength to subdue you instantly, but also the composure to remain unmoved when faced with temptation and deadly traps."

"It seems that the stagnant waters of Blackwind City are truly about to be boiled by him."

She paused, a piercing glint flashing in her narrow, alluring eyes.

"Relay my message."

"From today onwards, all of Chifeng Hall's businesses will provide the Dingbei Prefecture with the greatest convenience."

"in addition……"

"Send our best people to the capital to investigate that 'Dingtai Tea House.' I need to know who's behind it."

"Yes, Master."

Qingzhu responded respectfully.

……

Dingbei Prefecture, Tianxin Pavilion.

This is Lin Mo's private courtyard, and also the most central area of ​​the entire Dingbei Prefecture.

The night is dark.

In the master bedroom's bathroom, a huge bathtub carved from white jade is filled with steaming hot spring water.

The room was filled with the sweet scent of rose petals and the rising steam created a hazy atmosphere.

Liu Yiyi was leaning lazily against the pool.

Her snow-white arms rested on the smooth edge of the pool, and her face, which could captivate all beings, was flushed and translucent from the steam.

Her long, jet-black hair was loosely tied up with a wooden hairpin, with a few playful strands hanging down, glistening with water droplets, clinging to her slender neck, adding to her breathtaking allure.

Beneath the water's surface lies a breathtakingly beautiful landscape, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden.

She was so exhausted after dealing with the mountain of accounts piled up at the business today that she was practically falling apart.

Back in his own yard, he waited and waited, but the scoundrel who had promised to "reward" him never showed up.

Liu Yiyi was holding back a lot of anger.

You, Lin Mo, you broke your promise!

I'm so busy I barely have time to breathe, but you've vanished without a trace!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, so she decided to take the initiative and went directly to Lin Mo's Tianxin Pavilion.

But there was no one at Tianxin Pavilion.

Just as Liu Yiyi was about to leave in a huff, she discovered this beautiful large bathhouse.

Of all the places in Dingbei Prefecture, Lin Mo's place is the most luxurious. The water in the bath is drawn from hot springs and is kept at a constant temperature all year round.

snort!

If you won't treat me, then I'll treat myself!

Use your land, soak in your hot spring water!

So, Liu Yiyi undressed and completely immersed herself in this warmth and fragrance.

Mmm, that feels so good.

It just feels a bit... empty.

Just as Liu Yiyi was taking a bath and mentally making notes about Lin Mo, the door creaked open.

Lin Mo is back.

He had just returned from the Pleasure House, and the shadow of "Ding Tai Tea House" was still lingering in his mind, making him somewhat agitated.

But as soon as you enter, you smell a fragrance that is a mixture of roses and a woman's delicate scent.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a soft "splashing" sound of water.

Lin Mo paused in his steps.

Thief?

No, what thief would be so romantic as to come to his own room to take a bath?

He tiptoed around a screen painted with landscape paintings.

The next second, Lin Mo froze on the spot.

In the bath, beauties, as fair as jade, floated amidst the rising steam.

In the hazy light and shadow, his perfect figure, which he had just measured with his own hands not long ago, was more alluring than ever, hidden by the bright red petals.

Hearing the noise, Liu Yiyi slowly opened her clear, bright eyes.

Seeing Lin Mo standing dumbfounded at the door, she was not flustered at all. Instead, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile that could captivate all beings.

She stretched out her slender finger, dipped it in the warm pool water, and flicked it gently in Lin Mo's direction.

"My husband, you finally decided to come back?"

Her voice was soft and seductive, with a hint of languor and complaint.

Lin Mo felt his throat instantly dry.

"Mother...wife, what are you doing here?"

"What? You're not welcome?"

Liu Yiyi deliberately stretched her body in the water, causing even bigger ripples on the surface, and stared intently at Lin Mo with her alluring eyes.

"I'm exhausted today and want to ask my husband for a 'reward,' but he's nowhere to be found."

"There's no other way, I'll just have to come and get it myself."

Lin Mo awkwardly touched his nose, knowing he was in the wrong, and quickly changed the subject.

"Um...is the water temperature alright?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Mo wanted to slap himself.

What kind of nonsense question is that!

Liu Yiyi burst out laughing at his silly appearance, her eyes shimmering with laughter.

"good."

"It's a bit lonely soaking alone."

She beckoned to Lin Mo with her finger, her eyes like water, exuding natural charm.

"Husband, would you like to... come down and join me?"

boom!

Lin Mo felt like the strings in his brain were about to snap because of this troublemaker!

Unlike Feng Niang's aggressive and glamorous style, Liu Yiyi's subtle and gentle teasing is truly deadly.

OK OK.

It seems there's no escaping this romantic entanglement today!

"Since my wife has so kindly extended the invitation, then I, as her husband... shall accept!"

As he spoke, Lin Mo walked to the edge of the bathtub and made a move to untie his belt.

But at that moment, Liu Yiyi suddenly frowned and sniffed the air with her pert little nose.

"Um?"

"What's wrong, my wife?"

Lin Mo froze in place.

Liu Yiyi slowly stood up from the bath.

Water droplets rolled down her flawless skin, a sight that could drive even a saint mad.

Barefoot, she walked step by step to Lin Mo, her body enveloped in a hazy mist of moisture.

She leaned closer to Lin Mo and sniffed him carefully, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.

"What...smells like on you?"

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.

broken.

It was the smell of hookah tobacco and that unique spice scent emanating from Feng Niang!

"Huh? Really? I don't think so?"

Lin Mo raised his sleeve and sniffed it, looking completely innocent.

"Is it because you've been soaking in the water for too long, and your nose is acting up?"

Stop pretending!

Liu Yiyi stretched out her jade-like finger and poked Lin Mo's chest hard, her eyes sharpening.

That finger was damp and cool, yet it felt as if it were burning.

"This smell... so fragrant and pungent, with a hint of world-weariness. Tell me! Where have you been?"

In Liu Yiyi's voice, jealousy was no longer concealed.

Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine and immediately raised his hands in surrender.

"My lady, please calm down and let me explain!"

He made no attempt to conceal anything, recounting the entire process of being invited by Ziyuan to meet Fengniang at Chifeng Hall, and how he extracted the shocking secret of "Dingtai Tea House" from Prefect Jia Ren.

Of course, he wisely kept silent about his flirtatious interactions with Feng Niang.

Even so, when she heard the words "Feng Niang," "cheongsam," and "soft couch," Liu Yiyi's face visibly turned cold.

She crossed her arms, her perfect curves taut in the steam, and let out a cold snort.

"Feng Niang?"

"The most beautiful woman in Blackwind City, the owner of the Pleasure Pavilion, is indeed very lucky."

"My husband, you must have had a truly eye-opening and visually stunning trip, didn't you?"

Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated by these sarcastic remarks.

Just as he was about to speak, Liu Yiyi suddenly caught a detail in his words, and her expression changed drastically!
