There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

Not to mention compared to these distinguished guests, even their servants were more refined and proper than this man.

Everyone assumed he was just some ignorant servant.

I didn't realize that this place is not for ordinary people to enter easily. Even if you have something to say, you should ask the young lady in the pavilion to inform her. Trying to barge in like a fool might offend a distinguished person, and even if your master's enjoyment is disturbed, he won't let you off easily.

The guests who noticed Jiang Mo entering all cast amused glances at him.

I want to see which official has failed in managing his subordinates.

Many people, burning with jealousy, were eager to see what tragic end awaited the handsome young man before them.

Jiang Mo turned his head and calmly said to the girl beside him, "Please inform her for me."

"I hope Miss Zi Nu would do me the honor of meeting me alone."

Upon hearing this, everyone who was waiting for a good show was taken aback.

Even guests who were originally so engrossed in the beauty beside them that they had no time to pay attention to others couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

All eyes turned to Jiang Mo.

The once noisy and bustling hall fell into a subtle silence for a moment, and the guests who were embracing the beauties did not make any sarcastic remarks in order to maintain their composure.

But the look in her eyes as she gazed at Jiang Mo was clearly filled with disdain.

Where did this brat come from? He's really overestimating himself.

Don't they know that since the opening of Zilan Pavilion, countless people have coveted Zi Nu, the owner of this place, openly spending lavishly and secretly launching nighttime attacks and poisoning her?

Various methods have emerged one after another.

But only those who invite trouble will succeed; how can anyone possibly get what they want? Let alone spending the night together, they haven't even been given the honor of a single glimpse.

At most, they would be guests of exceptionally high status, who would receive a personal greeting from Miss Zi Nu.

But it was nothing more than business dealings, with only a brief chat.

For these distinguished guests who frequented Zilan Pavilion, being able to exchange a single word with Zi Nu was a refined affair worth boasting about for many days.

This kid in front of me is just an unknown nobody who has never seen anyone before, yet he dares to spout such arrogant words and invite Zi Nu to meet him.

Why hasn't anyone come and dragged this kid out yet!

"Young master, I said you could call me Butterfly~"

A sweet, soft voice rang out, and the onlookers realized that the girl named Cai Die in the pavilion had been following behind Jiang Mo, but had been blocked by his tall and strong body.

At this moment, she smiled and stepped forward, as swaying gently in the breeze like a willow, as if she wanted to lean against Jiang Mo's chest.

"Please have some self-respect, young lady."

Jiang Mo, his face cold, slightly stumbled to dodge. Cai Die, having missed her target, wasn't annoyed; instead, she chuckled sweetly, "Young Master, you're quite the joker. We're already here, and you're still telling me to have some self-respect~"

"Miss Butterfly, please convey this message."

Jiang Mo had no choice but to call out the other person's name and emphasize what he had just said.

His gaze shifted slightly, as if if Cai Die continued to pester him without informing him, he would prepare to seek help from other girls from Zi Lan Xuan.

Seeing that the sisters' eyes had lit up, Cai Die quickly walked upstairs.

She spoke with a graceful figure and a plaintive tone:

"I was the one who arrived first, so why is everyone so concerned about Sister Zi Nu?"

"Fine, I'll let you give up."

Clearly, Cai Die didn't think Zi Nu would deign to meet Jiang Mo. The girls in Zi Lan Xuan knew more about Zi Nu's situation than the guests.

Ordinary wealth, fame, power, and status couldn't sway their older sister.

The aloof and handsome young master Jiang in front of me is quite good-looking.

It made Cai Die want to savor the other's taste.

However, if one hopes to win over Zi Nu with this, it is still wishful thinking. There are plenty of handsome young men in Xinzheng City, but when has Zi Nu ever given a second glance to those pampered princes and nobles?

It was just fulfilling my duties.

Thinking this, Cai Die climbed the steps to find Zi Nu and tell her, wondering how she could lure that icy handsome guy into bed later.

It was a bit cold, but it had its own unique charm.

Besides, even the most aloof handsome guy will always have a hot spot down there.

Jiang Mo's gaze swept over the glamorous scene of women in the hall, but he remained standing motionless with his head bowed, exuding an aura that was completely out of place with the enchanting atmosphere around him.

There was nothing Jiang Mo could do; although he had seen many beautiful women, he was still somewhat unaccustomed to this kind of scene.

Who says the ancients were conservative?

Jiang Mo observed that they were playing quite skillfully.

Fortunately, Cai Die didn't keep Jiang Mo waiting for long. Soon, her pretty face fell as she walked down the stairs. It was clear that she was in a bad mood; she even stopped swaying her hips as she walked.

She exudes a suffocating aura that says, "I'm in a bad mood, so don't talk to me if you have eyes."

Sure enough, Zi Nu was nowhere to be seen beside him.

Someone started it, and soft laughter began to echo through the hall, quickly spreading to those around them and creating a wave of cheerful chatter.

Ha, you got cocky kid, now you've really embarrassed yourself!

It's bad enough that she embarrassed herself, but she also caused Cai Die to be scolded by Zi Nu, which made the beauty frown and look sullen. She was truly guilty of a heinous crime.

Hey guys, get this kid out of here right now!

But then, Cai Die scrutinized Jiang Mo from head to toe, as if trying to find something unusual about him. Only after meeting his gaze did she put away her somewhat annoyed expression.

"Young master, please follow me."

She stepped forward to Jiang Mo, bowed, and her expression and posture were not only much more serious than before, but also showed a clear sense of respect.

The surrounding guests, who were expecting a good show, were momentarily stunned.

Only when the two disappeared into the second-floor room did the incredulous crowd come to their senses and realize what the scene they had just witnessed meant:

Zi Nu actually agreed to meet the other party in person?

What's going on? Is the city of Xinzheng about to undergo a major upheaval?

For a time, the Purple Orchid Pavilion was in an uproar.

Jiang Mo did hear the faint commotion behind him, but he didn't pay much attention to it, focusing all his attention on Zi Nu in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, the subtle yet palpable pressure became increasingly apparent.

It feels like I was facing those strong women in a past life.

"Young master specifically requested to see me. Is there something important to discuss? If you simply wish to seek pleasure, I can introduce you to some of the ladies in the pavilion."

Zi Nu, who had been kneeling before the table, rose and bowed, speaking with a light laugh.

His words implied a test.

If anyone else specifically asked to meet her, Zi Nu would naturally not agree. But this person was different; she had personally witnessed him addressing Young Master Han Fei as a brother.

Perhaps his presence here represents the wishes of Prince Han Fei.

"My name is Jiang Mo. I have long heard that Miss Zi Nu is the most outstanding flower among all the beauties in Zi Lan Pavilion. Seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved."

When Jiang Mo needed something from someone, he naturally started by saying some nice things.

Then, she spoke slowly and deliberately: "I am new to Xinzheng and have no fixed abode. I would like to ask Miss Zi Nu to do me the favor of letting me stay here for a while..."

"Young master, this isn't an inn."

Zi Nu was somewhat surprised, and even thought Jiang Mo was joking for a moment, but seeing the unchanging expression on his face, she realized he seemed to be serious.

Taken aback, she couldn't help but let a playful smile appear on her lips.

"I know that this request is a bit abrupt, and I also know that the expenses here will certainly be considerable, but I have my own reasons."

The reason is actually quite simple.

Zilanxuan is not only an intelligence organization, but also the world center in the story of Tianxing Jiuge. Staying here makes it easier for Jiang Mo to keep track of the movements of all parties.

Moreover, with Wei Zhuang as a bodyguard, it's quite safe.

However, these reasons were not easy to state directly, so Jiang Mo vaguely glossed over them with a single sentence. Before Zi Nu could question him, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Let's take this as payment for the room first. What do you think, Miss Zi Nu?"

Upon seeing the valuable items that were clearly for royal use, a knowing look flashed in Zi Nu's eyes, and she immediately felt that she understood the other party's intentions.

Is he truly a representative of Prince Han Fei?

Chapter 81 Death is a Cool Summer Night

Lying on the spacious and comfortable bed in the Zilanxuan guest room, smelling the fine incense lingering in his nose, Jiang Mo quickly took the opportunity of sleeping to enter the dungeon.

[Four months remaining until the dungeon ends]

The reminder from the old book still dutifully reminded Jiang Mo of the expected end time of the dungeon, even though he felt that there was no need to remind him anymore.

The dungeon should have ended long ago.

The story should have ended when Jiang Mo secretly replaced the sachet containing the Eternal Bond Gu with another one and hid it next to Yan Lingji; it should have ended when he used the opportunity he had created by hiding in the secret location of the witch's ritual to help Wushuang Gui break out of the village to help Yan Lingji.

Unfortunately, the Book of the Past did not give him the power to end the copy himself.

Aside from not having reached the final time limit, it seems that only death can end the instance, but Jiang Mo can't even commit suicide.

Not to mention the Gu's instinctive survival behavior of breaking out of its cocoon and transforming into feathers.

The fact that Jiang Mo had just devoured and refined the Chunxi Gecko was enough to prevent him from successfully committing suicide. In fact, his severed arm grew back in less than half a day.

That extraordinary vitality was Jiang Mo's reliance when facing Tian Ze.

However, after successfully sending Yan Lingji away from the "Abyss," this became an obstacle for Jiang Mo to forcibly leave the instance, forcing him to continue this story that was not yet over.

But what's the point of continuing?

Jiang Mo, his mind hazy and his consciousness scattered, forced himself to look around, but all he could see were endless venomous insects and ferocious beasts. All he could do was struggle and barely cling to life.

But this moment of clarity quickly vanished.
