Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

The pimp's residence.

Inside Zhao Sanjin's house, wisps of steam rose.

He was burning incense and taking a bath.

A moment later, they were to head to the Tanmei Pavilion, where they could not afford to be impolite in front of the courtesan.

"Knock knock!"

A knock came at the door.

"Who is it?" Zhao Sanjin asked impatiently.

Lin Mo, disguised as a male servant, stood outside the door with a bucket of hot water, fawningly saying, "Master Zhao, I'll add some more hot water for you."

"The door isn't latched, come in."

Lin Mo pushed open the door and entered, carrying a bucket of water. He walked around the screen and came to the bathtub.

Zhao Sanjin lay on his back in the hot bathtub, a steaming white towel covering his face, his hand resting on the edge of the tub, tapping it lightly and casually.

It was clear that he was in a very good mood.

However, his happiness was short-lived, as Lin Mo delivered a karate chop to his neck.

Zhao Sanjin's hand, which had been resting on the edge of the wooden tub, fell limply back into the hot water. His head lolled to the side, and he slid weakly into the bathtub.

Lin Mo grabbed the person, tied them up, gagged them, and then tied them tightly with strips of cloth. After making sure everything was secure, he stuffed them under the wooden bed frame.

Then, he activated the [Thousand-Faced Human Skin] transformation, transforming into Zhao Sanjin's appearance. He opened the wardrobe, took out a simple new outfit that Zhao Sanjin had specially prepared for tonight, and put it on.

I had just changed my clothes when a soft knock came at the door.

A woman's urging voice came from outside the door: "Zhao Sanjin, it's time. The young lady requests your presence at Tanmei Xiaozhu."

Lin Mo immediately went out and bowed to the maid who had summoned him, saying with a flattering gesture, "Please lead the way, young lady."

The maid didn't say much, just told him to keep up, and then turned around and led the way. Lin Mo didn't dare to hesitate and followed closely behind.

Passing through the winding flower corridor of the courtyard, we arrived at a quiet little courtyard.

A couplet hangs prominently above the hanging flower gate of the small courtyard.

First line: With eyes lightly closed, I observe the dusty dreams.

Second line: Quietly leaning against the cloud-covered couch, she becomes Guanyin.

Plaque: Tanmei Xiaozhu

"This couplet is quite fitting for her nickname, 'Sleeping Guanyin'."

Lin Mo muttered a curse to himself as he followed the maid into the room.

As soon as Lin Mo stepped into the courtyard, he immediately sensed something.

A vast spiritual sense roared out from inside the house, making no attempt to conceal itself and locking onto Lin Mo with overwhelming force. It then penetrated his clothes, thoroughly stripping him naked inside and out!

"Spiritual awareness!"

Lin Mo reacted instantly and immediately suppressed his spiritual sense, preventing anyone from detecting anything.

Inside the main room, the fragrance of perfume mingled with the cool scent of incense, and wisps of smoke curled around the beams and pillars, creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere that made it difficult to distinguish reality from illusion.

Before the brocade canopy bed, on the table, lay a complete set of exquisite perfumery tools. In the upper left corner of the table, there was an unlit jade cup decorated with lotus flowers. The jade was translucent, like crystal glass.

Su Tanyin sat upright at the desk, without heavy makeup. A simple white silk dress loosely covered her figure, and her black hair was loosely tied up with a simple jade hairpin, with the rest of her black hair flowing like a waterfall.

Her clear, cold eyes were gently closed, her long eyelashes were thick and slender, and her gaze was quietly lowered. She was focused on pinching her delicate, fair fingers, without a trace of flirtatious charm, only a sense of compassionate coldness, like a white jade Guanyin sitting quietly before the Buddha, untouched by the world's hustle and bustle.

"Is fate unclear? Is someone obscuring the secrets of heaven?"

Suddenly, Su Tanyin's fingertips paused, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Don't talk nonsense. Who would expend their magical power to cover up the secrets of heaven for a mere pimp?"

Suddenly, another voice arose from Su Tanyin's body. The voice was rough and deep, clearly a man's voice.

Lin Mo, who was waiting outside, did not dare to use his spiritual sense. However, martial artists have amazing hearing. He paid attention to the subtle sounds inside the house and became suspicious when he heard a man's voice.

There was someone else hiding inside Su Tanyin's house?

Who is this person?

What was he planning to do, hiding inside the house?

From inside the room, Su Tanyin asked, "Does this person meet the requirements?"

"My fate is unclear, but I do meet some of the criteria. However, I am quite ugly and short. I am nowhere near as wise and powerful as I once was."

Upon hearing this, Su Tanyin shook her head slightly and uttered the Buddhist saying: "All phenomena are illusory."

"Alright, alright, you weren't even born when I was chanting scriptures. Stop sitting here meditating and arguing with me about Buddhist principles." The man urged impatiently, "Hurry up and let him in to enter the dream. We'll find out if it works once we try."

Lin Mo, who was outside the house, suddenly felt a chill.

"Damn it! Zhao Sanjin has been set up!"

and many more.

It seems not.

Zhao Sanjin's destiny is crystal clear and there is no way it could be abnormal.

However, one's own destiny is not within the realm of fate and cannot be ascertained.

It seems that Su Tanyin is waiting for someone with a special destiny in the Qunyu Pavilion.

Did I accidentally stumble upon this situation by chance?

"Damn it! How did I end up walking into the line of fire?"

Lin Mo wanted to enter dreams to practice magic, cultivate a spiritual body, and thus have the aptitude to cultivate immortality.

It seems that fate likes to play tricks on people, constantly creating trouble for them.

He secretly mocked himself, saying that those who achieve great things throughout history have such a protagonist's luck; even if they don't go looking for trouble, trouble will come to them on its own.

They come, the security.

The maid came out and invited him in.

Lin Mo composed himself and followed the maid into the room. After passing the carved landscape screen made of sandalwood, he finally saw the true face of the Sleeping Guanyin.

His assessment of this courtesan was summed up in just four words.

Greatness lies in tolerance!

She sat motionless, her posture elegant and serene, majestic and full-figured, exuding a heavy, oppressive beauty. With each gentle breath, her body undulated softly, revealing an undercurrent of emotion.

The majestic snow-capped peaks stretched high, supporting the soft, smoky silk dress, the hemline gently curving out a warm arc, revealing nothing but a breathtakingly enchanting allure.

The towering, undulating mountains contrast sharply with her slender waist, which can be encircled by a single hand. Her figure is plump at the top and slender at the bottom, with graceful and delicate curves, and every inch of her body is perfectly proportioned.

Unexpectedly, beneath the serene and aloof Guanyin face lies an alluring and magnificent figure.

Lin Mo entered the room, his gaze fixed intently on me, undisguised, almost spitting fire.

"You old pervert!"

Lin Mo cursed inwardly. The Thousand-Faced Human Skin was so good at impersonating others that it was hard to spot any flaws. It was so well disguised that even the temperament and personality were perfectly imitated.

"It's Zhao Sanjin who's lecherous, I'm not a lecher... Hmm! So big, looks delicious."

Su Tanyin met Lin Mo's burning gaze, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.

Although she worked in a brothel, all the guests who came and went treated her with utmost respect and courtesy, afraid of offending her.

That bastard has some nerve.

Su Tanyin was so angry that her breathing became slightly disordered and rapid, and her clothes billowed up high.

Within his mind, the man also looked down on Lin Mo, saying with disdain, "With looks like that, he deserves to be a pimp for life."

Adding fuel to the fire, Su Tanyin was so angry that her chest ached. She gritted her teeth and retorted with her spiritual sense, "I hope he is the destined person you have been searching for!"

The man scoffed, "I wish it weren't!"

"Please sit down." Su Tanyin did not continue to entangle with the man's spiritual senses and coldly invited Lin Mo to sit down.

Lin Mo sat down cross-legged on the futon.

Su Tanyin lit the prepared fragrant incense: "This incense is called Prajna, and it has the effect of calming the mind and aiding sleep."

Before the words were finished, wisps of smoke rose, instantly releasing a pleasant aroma that was initially refreshing but gradually became somewhat drowsy.

Lin Mo felt dizzy and drowsy. He tried to shake his head to clear his mind.

"Do not worry, this incense is non-toxic. Entering the realm of Prajna, life is but a dream. Gains and losses depend on one's own destiny and cannot be forced."

"Is there any guarantee that the technique will be successfully refined?"

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

"Look this way," Su Tanyin replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

Following her guidance, Lin Mo looked up at Su Tanyin's fingertips.

Su Tanyin's slender, jade-like fingertips emitted a spark that ignited the glass jade cup on the corner of the table.

The lights were lit, instantly drawing Lin Mo's attention.

Lin Mo felt an immense attraction to the brightly lit area, drawing him closer and closer.

And the flames grew larger and larger, until they filled the entire world.

The next moment, Lin Mo suddenly realized that the flames hadn't gotten bigger.

Instead, he was shrinking, his body shrunk to the size of an ant, stepping into the light.

Turning his head, he saw a person lying on the prayer mat behind him—it was himself.

"So this is the [Deceitful Dream-Stealing Technique]!"

Lin Mo's true spirit detached from his physical body, transformed into a stream of light, and entered the world of the crystal jade lamp!
