Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

"Hmm!"

The touch on his lips was soft and warm, domineeringly silencing all the words Lin Mo wanted to say.

His brain froze for a fraction of a second, but his body reacted instinctively, his hands already firmly encircling that fragile waist.

In the blink of an eye.

A familiar memory exploded in Lin Mo's mind.

Wait a minute, this situation, including Chu Mengyao's expression and state at this moment...

How come she looks exactly the same as Jiang Zhiwei after she took the "Hehuan Pill"?

Could it be...?

Lin Mo suddenly exerted force and forcibly separated the two again.

As he moved, a strand of crystalline liquid stretched ambiguously between their lips before finally breaking.

"Chu Mengyao! Wake up!"

Lin Mo grabbed her still burning shoulders and shook her hard.

"Did you steal the bottle of pills from my clothes?!"

"Medicine..."

Startled by his sudden movement, a hint of confusion flashed in Chu Mengyao's dazed eyes.

She tilted her head, her disheveled hair brushing against Lin Mo's arm, causing a ticklish sensation.

She seemed to be thinking hard, and after a few seconds, she nodded heavily.

"yes……"

Her voice was soft, sweet, and carried a hint of pride, as if she were trying to take credit.

"Delicious...sweet..."

As she spoke, she stuck out her pink tongue and unconsciously licked her lips.

"As sweet as your lips..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Mengyao snuggled into Lin Mo's arms again, like a clingy cat.

The target was aimed at his lips again, clearly.

Lin Mo was completely dumbfounded.

I'm sorry!

It really is that thing!

He and Jiang Zhiwei refined this bottle of Hehuan Pill together, and because he was afraid that something might happen if it was left in the Hundred Herbs Garden, he kept it with him at all times.

After all, it doesn't take up much space.

But who would have thought that Chu Mengyao, this curious little girl, would actually dig it out and eat it like candy!

If I had known, I would have thrown it in the system space!

Now look what's happened; there's no way to clear my name now, even if I jumped into the Yellow River.

Looking at Chu Mengyao, who was completely controlled by the drug and had transformed from an ice queen into a gluttonous enchantress, alarm bells rang in Lin Mo's mind.

He knew better than anyone how potent this elixir was.

This is something that can't be overcome by willpower alone.

If the medicinal effects are not relieved in time, it can cause minor problems such as disordered meridians and reversed flow of qi and blood, or even... death from body explosion!

No, absolutely not!

Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda!

Lin Mo stared at those alluring red lips that were getting closer and closer, their breath sweet as orchids. He struggled internally for three seconds before finally gritting his teeth.

Today is the day to sacrifice one's life for righteousness!

Lin Mo stopped dodging, grabbed Chu Mengyao by the waist, and took the initiative, pulling her into his arms.

"Um……"

This time, it was Chu Mengyao's turn to let out a satisfied nasal sound.

The sound of splashing water echoed in the huge bathtub, and the warm water rippled in circles.

Her soaked clothes clung tightly to her shapely curves.

The scorching body heat transmitted through the thin fabric, as if it were igniting Lin Mo as well.

Lin Mo looked down at the woman in his arms, her eyes glazed over and filled only with instinct, and felt as if he had taken advantage of her.

But... saving lives is the priority!

"Military strategist of Chu, don't blame me afterwards..."

A soft sigh dissipated into the rising steam.

Looking at the woman in his arms, who was already delirious and only had instinctive desire left, Lin Mo threw his last bit of hesitation to the back of his mind.

He pressed Chu Mengyao's soft body against the cool, smooth jade pool wall.

"Waaah..."

The extreme sensations of scalding heat and icy cold caused her to let out a soft whimper.

The splashing sound of water rang out again, but it was even more intense than before.

The rippling water dampened the clothes on the edge of the pool and blurred the intertwined shadows of the two people.

Deep within the fog, only shattered moonlight and suppressed gasps remained.

……

The next morning.

A ray of sunlight shone through the window, illuminating the luxuriously warm jade bed.

Chu Mengyao lay on her side, fast asleep.

Her long, flowing black hair covered half of the jade bed, and she was only loosely covered by a thin quilt.

In the sunlight, her bare shoulders and back were as smooth as jade.

The ambiguous red marks, like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, silently tell of the madness and intensity of last night.

Lin Mo, who was standing to the side, had already woken up.

He leaned against the headboard, feeling waves of soreness in his lower back.

The intensity of last night's battle left even seasoned veteran Lin Mo feeling lingering fear.

From the bathtub to the carpet, and now to this huge bed that I can roll around in several times...

Almost every corner of this room bears traces of their "intense discussions".

This was an arduous and protracted battle of attack and counterattack, and also a thrilling "Battle to Defend the Core Area of ​​Zhenbei City".

He looked at Chu Mengyao sleeping peacefully beside him, savoring the many details of the battle.

A soft footstep sounded outside the door.

Listen to this light yet slightly hurried rhythm...

Is it Angelica dahurica?

Lin Mo jolted awake and instantly regained full health.

Oh no! Another chaotic scene is about to unfold!

He grabbed his clothes and haphazardly put them on, almost putting his shoes on backwards.

Then, he rushed to the door and, before the other person could knock, pulled the door open from the inside.

"Forest……"

Just as Bai Zhi raised her hand, the door suddenly opened.

Lin Mo's somewhat panicked face appeared before her without warning.

"what!"

Bai Zhi was startled and instinctively took a step back.

"How could you...?"

"Why are you here?"

Lin Mo spoke first, his words coming out as fast as if he were reciting a menu, trying to interrupt her train of thought with his imposing manner and forcefully take control of the conversation.

This tactic worked. Bai Zhi was taken aback by his question, and her words were interrupted.

"Oh, last night I led people to search the city lord's mansion and sorted out the household registers and files from various government offices stored in the mansion's treasury."

Bai Zhi held up a stack of files in her hand.

"I remember that the Chu military advisor used these things to appease the people and rectify the bureaucracy."

"But I sent people to the Hanshan Army's camp early this morning to ask, and they said they hadn't seen Military Advisor Chu return, and they didn't know where she went."

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat at the mention of the name "Chu Mengyao".

His hand trembled as he took the file, and his movement was so forceful that he almost dropped it.

"Oh, I know that!"

"She...she's busy, extremely busy!"

Lin Mo tucked the scroll into his pocket.

"She's conducting a deep strategic review! Yes, a review! I'll personally hand these files to her later! Personally!"

"Oh, I see..."

Bai Zhi nodded, but still felt something was off.

Just then.

"Hmm~"

A lazy, nasal moan came from the room.

That was a sound that the woman made unconsciously from deep in her throat when she had just woken up.

It was very light, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet courtyard.

"Huh? What's that sound?"

Bai Zhi had sharp ears, and she looked at the room behind Lin Mo with suspicion.

That voice... it sounds a bit like...

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat!

He immediately stepped forward, his tall figure forming a solid wall that completely blocked Bai Zhi's view.

At the same time, he grabbed her arm and pulled her outside.

"A sound? What sound? A rat! There are so many rats in this mansion!"

Lin Mo dragged Bai Zhi into the courtyard while forcibly changing the subject.

"Oh, by the way! I built a super awesome barracks, it's full of Gundams!"

"Come on, come on, I'll show you!"
