Free Web NovelThe sky was clear for miles.
The buildings in the Inner City each had their own unique characteristics. For example, the Fengyue Small Building was like an exquisite porcelain vase, while the Wanchun Court was a garden full of spring colors all year round, with a hundred flowers vying for beauty.
From the hollowing out structure, one could vaguely see various beautiful flowers suspended in mid-air.
Just thinking about working in such a high-class and tasteful place, even the servant ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) boy who emptied the night soil proudly raised his head.
"Guest, you... oh, Li Shaoxia."
The servant boy lowered his proud chest, a standard fawning, sycophantic expression on his face, showing excellent professional quality:
"Our master is waiting for you upstairs, please, please, please."
"Thanks."
"No, you're shortening my lifespan. It's my honor to lead the way for you..."
The servant boy quickly slapped himself, looking somewhat terrified.
In his experience, when a guest said words like 'thanks,' it usually meant dissatisfaction.
"...Let's go, let's go."
Li Mo glanced at the side, a scene similar to the original Fengyue Small Building—using beautiful women as instruments.
He said no more, handed the servant boy a silver note, and had him lead the way up.
Perhaps having heard the news, he was met with many gazes from the workers of Wanchun Court as he passed.
If the owner changed, where would they go?
Could this, one of Dijin's top two restaurants, still support them in the future?
The Peony Flower Room on the top floor.
Pushing the door open, the mess of cups and plates from yesterday was gone, replaced with fruits and vegetables.
A beautiful middle-aged woman sat alone, observing the young man who entered.
She couldn't be described as merely having 'fading charm,' because the seductive and mature charm on her face was just right. A cinnabar mole at the corner of her lips was the finishing touch of danger and allure.
A truly wicked bad woman!
"Little Li Langjun, what a skillful move. Several sirs have written to me, a bunch of big men bullying a solitary weak woman like me. How can that be considered heroic conduct?"
After the beautiful woman finished speaking, she took a puff from her pipe, and smoke slowly flowed from her vermilion lips, blurring her face.
The smoke wasn't acrid; instead, it carried a faint scent of roses.
The kind with thorns and poison.
【Name: Luo Ji (Alias: Su Yao)】
【Age: 39】
【Root Bone: Poison Flower Charm Body.】
【Realm: Law Body Late Stage.】
【Tianming: Gold with Gray.】
【Evaluation: Rain Listening Pavilion's Fifth Heavenly Killer, Dijin Branch Master, Tenth on the Baihua List. Entered Dijin fifteen years ago, married a wealthy merchant, then slowly poisoned him over years, inherited his property, renamed it Wanchun Court, and became an important part of the Rain Listening Pavilion's intelligence network. Beneath her pomegranate skirt are withered bones; within her charming demeanor is a thorny, deadly poison...】
【Recent Encounter: Received letters from high-ranking court officials, ordering her to give up her property, intending to cooperate with Yin Mianmian to control the instigator, Li Mo, as a subordinate...】
...
Li Mo leaned back slightly.
He only instinctively felt something was wrong, so he used the Tianming Divine Eye to check.
He didn't expect to see something so extraordinary.
Now, was he supposed to just say nothing... that he didn't want this Wanchun Court, that it was all drunken nonsense, and would they let him leave?
Clearly not.
Law Body Late Stage. A fight now would truly be unwinnable. Even whether he could escape into the Small World depended on whether the opponent hadn't kept her attention on him... How should he respond?
"Stop showing off your petty tricks, Su Yao."
Li Mo plopped down opposite her, raised his hand to pour tea, and maintained an Ice Cube's calm and indifferent demeanor.
Qingyuan Sect's best male lead quietly came online. ƒrēewebnovel.com
The switch was seamless, making even veteran actors sweat.
"Or rather... Luo Ji?"
?
Luo Ji's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled and said:
"Little Li Langjun is joking. Am I perhaps similar to a woman you admire? But I don't know anyone named..."
Li Mo shook his head and said, "This poison is useless against me."
As his words fell.
The atmosphere in the hall instantly solidified, with only the sound of string and wind instruments and flowing zither music remaining.
Li Mo found that the beautiful woman opposite him had suddenly disappeared.
And in the silent space, brilliant flowers bloomed, beautiful and fragrant, making people unconsciously want to sink into the sea of flowers and sleep forever... The sweet abyss was endless, and vines climbed up Li Mo's limbs, then formed flower buds.
...
Li Mo frowned slightly, seemingly displeased, but made no move, as if allowing the other party to act freely.
Luo Ji, who had merged into her Outer Scenery, narrowed her eyes slightly.
The other party's meaning was that he wasn't afraid of her poison and already had a trump card.
"Under the heavens, what method can allow a Guan Shen Realm cultivator to resist my Outer Scenery?"
If someone had told Luo Ji this before, she would have scoffed.
But the person before her was now the most dazzling youth of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a top-tier talent.
Moreover, if he hadn't come prepared, how could he have blurted out her identity?
She dared not make a big move now.
This was Dijin, and it was near the Imperial City.
If exposed, she wouldn't die, but she'd lose a layer of skin.
But... whoosh—
The first flower bud on the vines wrapped around Li Mo finally bloomed.
This poison didn't poison the body but attacked the heart.
It used the deepest evil thoughts in a person's heart to make them fall into a slumber in a sea of flowers.
What evil thoughts did God Hammer Little Overlord, Wang Qi Dou Hun, hide in his heart?
The flower fully bloomed. freewebnσvel.cѳm
The scene within was of a young Li Mo throwing a firecracker into an outhouse, and the Old Teacher inside letting out a sharp shriek... Luo Ji: "?"
This was his deepest evil thought?
What the hell is this!
But soon, Luo Ji breathed a sigh of relief.
Whoosh—
Another flower bloomed.
"He really still has..."
Luo Ji's cold smile hadn't returned to her face before it froze.
The young Li in the scene was rubbing a slender, smooth, snowy foot, and the owner of the snowy foot was Han Xianzi.
This seemed to trigger a chain reaction.
Flower after flower bloomed.
The face on each flower was that flawless jade-like countenance of a Heavenly Immortal.
Honestly speaking.
When this slightly blurred face appeared on the flowers, all the myriad splendors faded in comparison, unable to match it.
Luo Ji: "..."
After a moment of silence.
Li Mo's heart gradually grew tense, but then he suddenly felt his whole body relax.
After opening his eyes, he found that the Peony Pavilion had returned to normal, and Luo Ji opposite him was looking at him with an expression of deep thought and disbelief.
"Right? I just said..."
"I believe you already have a plan."
Luo Ji narrowed her eyes, her hoarse voice still full of danger: "Little Li Langjun, oh Little Li Langjun, I've truly witnessed your skill. No wonder you can make even high-ranking court officials support you. Thank you for the lesson."
This must be some kind of trick! And Li Mo must have done it on purpose!
Whose deepest evil thoughts are throwing firecrackers to blow up an outhouse, rubbing Han Xianzi's little feet, and wanting to bite her ear?
She couldn't even bear to look at the rest!
The more she looked, the more she felt that what she saw was only what he wanted her to see!
Wang Qi Dou Hun is truly wicked!
