We battled fiercely for three hundred rounds, and in the end, I used a move called 'Flood Dragon Leaves the Sea' to beat that enchantress until she was in shambles and begging for mercy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Platoon Leader exclaimed in admiration, \"I have long heard that Brother Qin's staff technique is exquisite and possesses the bearing of a grandmaster; it truly lives up to its reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about you, Brother Zhang? Did you have your fill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Platoon Leader took a porcelain bottle from his bosom, shook his head, and said, \"I, incompetent as I am, prepared three Dragon-Tiger Pills, intending to charge into that dragon's pool and tiger's den to test the depths. I never expected that after using just one, the other party would be utterly routed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shou clapped his hands, \"Brother Zhang’s attainments in the way of elixirs are comparable to the Head Physician of the Imperial Hospital; I am impressed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two looked at each other and burst into loud laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battle beans, refreshing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were also in high spirits, their faces full of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The salary of the Heavenly Qilin Guard was quite substantial; an ordinary bailiff earned seven taels of silver a month, and that was not even counting other gray income... but even so, it was nowhere near enough in a money-pit like the Music Conservatory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls they had booked last night were all of the \"Flower Hibiscus\" and \"Flower Beauty\" level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were any other time, they would probably have to save for several months to afford it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is comfortable following Platoon Leader Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Following him to run errands, not only do we pick up great merit, but there are also girls to play with... to have such a leader, what more could one ask for!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few men from the Ding Fire Division shook their heads and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Platoon Leader Li was very reliable in his work, he was rigid, did not know how to be flexible, and his temper was far too explosive...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, he wouldn't take them to brothels!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's already this hour, why hasn't Platoon Leader Chen come out yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we are any later, we will miss the morning roll call.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, \"slapping\" sounds could be vaguely heard from inside the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the frequency of the \"slapping\" sounds grew higher and higher, like a sudden storm; just listening to it was suffocating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shou and that Platoon Leader exchanged a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, there’s an even greater expert inside?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Platoon Leader hasn't finished yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From last night... busy until now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at each other in dismay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shou had received a stern warning from Chen Mo and knew how exaggerated his assets were; he couldn't help but worry whether Miss Yu'er, a delicate woman, could withstand such lashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn't be retired from service because of this, would she?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for a long time, the door opened, and two figures walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Platoon Leader, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shou was just about to go up to greet them when his expression suddenly froze, as if he had seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li, Platoon Leader Li-Li-Li?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo was followed by a woman wearing a blue and white bodice skirt, with a green silk sash tied around her waist, outlining a slender waistline, while her heavy chest looked even fuller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her snow-white, delicate face was flushed with pink, and her originally sharp brows and eyes looked like a pool of spring water, rippling with light as she glanced around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked as if...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been nourished?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire courtyard fell into a dead silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone lost their composure, their mouths hanging wide open, staring blankly at the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan had not expected them all to be waiting outside, and for a moment she was flustered, but she couldn't run back into the room, so she had to turn sideways and hide behind Chen Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn't this just burying one's head in the sand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her shy appearance, like a little bride, the bailiffs of the Ding Fire Division collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this still the cold-faced, selfless Platoon Leader from their memories!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered, \"Platoon Leader Li, your persona seems to have collapsed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan lowered her head, her ears burning red, and pinched his waist hard, \"It's all your fault!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder Platoon Leader Li wanted to follow along; so she was after the boss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Offering herself to the tiger, she's a real hero!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, didn't Platoon Leader Chen fight two with one last night...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Mo, whose spiritual sense had surged, heard these whispers clearly; he frowned and said coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you all muttering about? Platoon Leader Li drank too much last night and slept in an empty room by herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone keep your mouths shut tight! If even a single word of gossip spreads, watch out, I'll skin you alive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone responded with an expression that said, \"Don't worry, we understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of thing only got darker the more it was described, so Chen Mo felt helpless and didn't explain further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group walked out of the Elegant Abode toward the alley entrance, with disheveled guests walking out of the houses on both sides from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan's face flushed red, and she was struggling to hold it together, but she didn't dare to speed up her pace; her legs were still weak... she could only lower her head and follow closely behind Chen Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Qin Shou silently gave a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss is truly a master at taming tigers...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the bedroom, \"Yu'er\" was doing stretching exercises, constantly adapting to the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she only had the shell, while the inside was a paper puppet possessed by a wandering soul; wanting to be exactly the same as the original owner was unrealistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as long as Gu Manzhi kept pouring in energy, or controlled it herself, she could probably achieve seventy percent similarity; those not too familiar with the original wouldn't see the flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Minister Xu family had been raided, with some dead and others exiled. Apart from the few female relatives who were also sent to the Music Conservatory, there were no acquaintances left in this capital...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gu Manzhi was in no mood to consider these things; she sat on the bed hugging her legs, her breathtaking face resting on her knees, her autumn-water eyes shimmering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First I was slapped on the chest, then I was spanked on the bottom; I've almost been bullied all over by him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That girl just now was very strong, at least a sixth-rank martial artist; there aren't many young experts surnamed Li...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And he wasn't this promiscuous before; he never used to go to tea parties...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking of her previous actions, Gu Manzhi sighed; he must have had a change of heart after being heartbroken by her, so she couldn't blame him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Whoosh—*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a gust of wind, a figure wrapped in a gray robe flashed into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Manzhi didn't even lift her head and said, \"Ye Henshui, why haven't you gotten lost yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed person shrugged and said, \"The last mission failed, my identity was exposed, and the Master is very dissatisfied with you. From now on, I am fully responsible for the affairs in the Heavenly Capital... Tsk, can you stop trying to scare me with the Brilliant Thunder Curse? Come, come, just strike me dead, then none of us have to live!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Manzhi held a jade talisman in her hand, her eyes cold, \"You think I don't dare?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed person naturally understood her temper; if truly pushed, she would do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helpless, he could only soften his tone and say, \"Fine, you can continue to stay here... but you have to tell me, what do you plan to do next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Manzhi said indifferently, \"Chen Mo is now a favorite by the Imperial Consort's side; if we want to deal with Yu Youhan, we still have to start with Chen Mo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed person became interested upon hearing this, \"Oh? Tell me more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Manzhi's mouth curled slightly, her eyes flickering, \"I have decided... to turn Chen Mo, and pull him over to our side!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed person was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, \"He has a noble status, lives in luxury, and is a Battalion Commander of the Heavenly Qilin Guard; why would he mingle with a bunch of outlaws like us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have my own plans, don't you worry about it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Manzhi had already decided to \"seduce\" Chen Mo with all her might!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it wouldn't be with the paper puppet technique, but she would go in person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Chen Mo, you know nothing of the power of the Extreme Yin Maiden Body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, if you dare to make a move on him in secret, don't blame the heavenly thunder for being blind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Manzhi left these cold words behind and got up to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed person was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a feeling that this Saintess Gu would capsize in the gutter again...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked to the bedside and sat down, watching \"Yu'er\" doing jumping jacks \"hey-ho, hey-ho,\" and when she pressed her palm onto the mattress, she was suddenly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?
