What imperial henchmen? Please call me Your Majesty!

I was in too much of a hurry just now, and my reaction was just a subconscious assumption that the other party was an assassin who came to kill me.

Looking at her now, I noticed that she was wearing a black, sheer gauze dress over a purple embroidered white crane bodice, which partially covered her waist, and purple shorts. Her long, beautiful legs looked somewhat hazy and alluring under the black gauze dress.

This doesn't seem like the style of an assassin; it's more like... a woman in her boudoir, choosing what to wear to stay cool...

isn't it?

Are you kidding me?

Looking around, he realized it was indeed his own place. He hadn't been so exhausted or confused from investigating things last night that he had barged into someone's room.

Seeing that the other party was about to attack again, he quickly raised his hand to stop them:

"Wait! Young lady, don't make false accusations! This is clearly my home!"

"You little thief! How dare you spout nonsense! You're asking for death!"

The woman was so angry that she wouldn't listen to a single word.

It rushed over again.

Having no other choice, Su Mu raised his sword and clashed with his opponent, accurately parrying each of the falling blades, the two short swords clashing continuously.

Seeing that her knife couldn't hurt her, the woman continued to approach and began to use her fists and feet.

One step forward, one straight elbow strike!

As the force of the punch carried a fragrant breeze, Su Mu realized the opponent's strength.

At least at the third realm, and the martial arts skills of a third-realm warrior are even more powerful than his.

Although he has the cultivation techniques given to him by his master, he has only barely entered the first realm.

Sometimes, in a direct confrontation, you have to use some techniques; if you really fight, you simply can't win.

Of course, there are other ways to compensate for a lack of power system, such as the power of talismans.

The woman's eyes widened as he swiftly disappeared, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

Instead of continuing the attack, he immediately swung his hand back, but the knife he was holding missed again. At that moment, his heart was in his throat.

How is that possible!

How could this be...?

Su Mu deactivated his invisibility, feeling relieved that it had been a close call.

The bet is whether the opponent will stop once they see me disappear. If they don't, this elbow strike will definitely land.

Seeing that the opponent had a weakness, he did not linger there to fight, but immediately ran towards the door.

When the woman saw the figure flash by, she realized she had been tricked and rushed forward as well.

As soon as Su Mu opened the door, he felt a tightness at the back of his collar, and a force pulling him back.

Su Mu, who was pulled back into the house, could only break free using some kung fu skills and maintain a certain distance.

His gaze was fixed on the other person.

I noticed she seemed a little hesitant.

He guessed that his invisibility earlier had made her wary, making her suspect that he was a master, stronger than her, and that he was toying with her.

Therefore, they dared not approach rashly.

Su Mu looked helpless.

But they dared not let their guard down.

"Master's wife, why did you bring a man into the house?"

Another female voice came from behind.

The woman, who had been tense, immediately realized something and looked towards the door.

A little girl walked in through the door and looked inside with a puzzled expression.

Su Mu looked at the little girl and then remembered where he had seen her before.

Isn't this the same pair of chivalrous women from Qingzhou City?

No wonder it felt familiar.

I never expected to end up in Beijing.

The young girl glanced at her master's wife, then at Su Mu, and a look of disdain appeared on her face.

However, they are also sensible and understand the bigger picture.

Awkwardly walking back:

"Master's wife, please continue. I won't tell Master."

They slowly retreated, closing the door behind them.

"Jinwei, come back!"

Upon hearing that she had been misunderstood, the woman immediately shouted.

Knowing he couldn't win, Su Mu came up with an idea and put down his knife:

"Young lady, forced love is never sweet. If you are truly thirsty, there's no need to take my virginity. There should be suitable men in the capital to keep you company."

"you!"

The woman turned to look at Su Mu, her eyes seemingly blazing with fire.

He was clearly a thief who broke into the room.

How come it's now that I'm the one who forcibly took a man from the people?

Bai Jinwei pushed the door open again and looked at them speechlessly:

"Master's wife, I don't care what you do, but you can't just make me watch from the sidelines, can you? I'm still young, it's really not suitable for me to watch these things. Do you want me to join in? That's not a good idea, is it? Or are you planning to let me learn in advance, Master's wife?"

"Shut up!"

The woman was clearly furious; she yelled at her and then looked at Su Mu:

"Didn't you realize? This man is a womanizer!"

"Huh? A womanizer?"

Bai Jinwei looked at Su Mu. He didn't look quite like him, and he seemed familiar. It was as if she had run into him somewhere before.

Su Mu quickly stopped him:

"Wait! Young lady, don't accuse me without evidence. I really have the right to arrest you."

He was a constable of the underworld, yet he was mistaken for a womanizer in his own home. Who could he complain to?

Of course, if things really escalate, I might be able to prove my innocence.

The rental agreement is still with me.

If it really escalates, it will become a big deal.

At most, it's just that his reputation isn't very good.

"Oh, I remember now, aren't you that corrupt official of the imperial court...?"

A dog...a corrupt official??

Su Mu looked at Bai Jinwei with suspicion. Was this girl's mouth sweetened with honey?

Do you really think you're too afraid to take action against me?

The woman actually felt it was familiar, but once she heard it said that way, she understood the situation.

He quickly went to Bai Jinwei's side, covered her mouth with his hand, and looked at Su Mu:

"I'm sorry, I failed to discipline them properly."

Unexpectedly, Bai Jinwei, despite her young age, was quite stubborn and raised her hand to pull down:

"It was clearly you who said that, Master's wife."

"Shut up!"

The woman raised her hand and tapped her on the head.

Bai Jinwei then behaved herself.

In the capital, these wandering knights-errant generally wouldn't provoke the government officials, otherwise it would be very troublesome, especially knowing that he was also a member of the imperial court, they wouldn't dare to continue.

If we kill them.

It would be difficult for them to escape the capital.

Su Mu seemed to understand something, and nodded as if suddenly realizing something:

"I see! You called me a womanizer, but you two are the real thieves!"

Bai Jinwei didn't like hearing this, and looked at Su Mu:

"What are you saying! You're the thief! And a corrupt official at that!"

"This is my house. I don't know either of you. And you're saying you're not thieves?"

"Bullshit! We've lived here for almost a year, how did it become your home?"

"Words are no proof; show me the evidence! I have the homeowner's signature and the official seal of the government office. How could this be fake?"

At this moment, the woman gradually realized what was going on. The house was indeed originally unoccupied, but it had been rented out, which led to today's misunderstanding.

Bai Jinwei was momentarily speechless, because she knew that no one had lived in this place before, and they had secretly moved in without expecting anything from it.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Seeing that she was speechless, Su Mu felt a little smug, but he felt it was a bit dishonorable to win against a little girl.

"Even so, you can't do this."

"What did I do wrong? I slept in my own place, is that a mistake?"

Su Mu, not one to back down, looked at her and said with a smile:

"Of course, if you really have nowhere to go, it's not impossible to squeeze in here, but you'll have to pay some rent for this place."

Should we squeeze in a little more?

Women are generally sensible; this guy definitely has ill intentions.

Besides, is it appropriate for three people to sleep huddled together?

If this guy secretly gave them something to do at night and then went berserk, they might not be able to explain themselves even if they were in the right.

The thought of lying there, completely powerless, with Jinwei possibly lying on top of her filled her with dread.

"No way! We'll just move out."

Bai Jinwei didn't understand any of this, but after looking around and then at her master's wife:

"Well, we don't seem to have enough money to stay somewhere else."

Su Mu didn't dare to think too much about it; he just wanted to force them to leave.

They're not strong enough to handle them. If they're really crammed into one bed, they might as well sleep outside.

Two would be fine, though.

The woman's expression was somewhat complicated. She looked at Su Mu, then around, until she finally turned her gaze to Bai Jinwei.

He pursed his lips, and finally made a major decision:

"We can discuss this properly."

?

Su Mu looked at her.

Hey Hey hey!

Hey lady, you wouldn't actually want to sleep with me, would you?

Everyone knows that women of a certain age are like wolves and tigers.

She has more energy than an unmarried girl!

Every man is afraid...
