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

Zi Nu, who was trying to maintain a calm expression by pursing her lips slightly, suddenly felt an urge to cover her face and run away when she looked at the door that was so close to her.

Maybe we should just give up.

Although doing this would be a bit unfair to Nongyu, the Fire Rain Agate was most likely stolen by that fox, so it shouldn't be lost.

It's alright to delay for a while, until Jiang Mo finishes his cultivation, before continuing the search.

Zi Nu knew that Jiang Mo was in meditation, because Jiang Mo had specifically mentioned this during the meal, saying that he needed to make some preparations for the evening's actions and reminding everyone not to disturb him unless it was important.

That's why Zi Nu can't just knock on the door and come in openly now.

Be patient and wait for Jiang Mo to finish circulating his energy.

This seems to be the best option.

But when she thought about what the white fox had stolen from her house, Zi Nu's face couldn't help but flush red.

How could those shameful clothes be brought out in front of Jiang Mo?

We must take this opportunity to get it back!

At this moment, Zi Nu only regretted that her will had been so weak before, and that she had been instigated by the sisters in the Xuan Zhong to buy that shameful little garment.

They really shot themselves in the foot!

As Zi Nu reached out to push open the door, preparing to sneak in, she couldn't help but hesitate about whether to change into night clothes, so that if Jiang Mo caught her, she could pretend to be a thief.

But after thinking about it, she gave up the idea.

Jiang Mo was no ordinary person, and Zi Nu wasn't entirely confident she wouldn't alert him. Wearing her usual clothes would allow her to find a way to explain.

However, if one is dressed in the dark, and a misunderstanding arises, it would be difficult to explain.

Having made up her mind, Zi Nu did not hesitate any longer.

With her slender, jade-like fingers gently resting on the door, Zi Nu did not use brute force to push it open. Instead, she subtly used her internal energy to gently move the inner bolt aside.

She was, of course, extremely familiar with Zilan Pavilion.

Slipping through doors and picking locks requires absolutely no tools and won't alert anyone.

The door slid open silently, leaving a crack.

Zi Nu held her breath and slipped into the room. The door, which she had just opened a crack, immediately closed behind her, returning to its state as if no one had ever touched or pushed it open.

Thump, thump...

Zi Nu should have been used to sneaking into the house, but at this moment she felt her heart pounding very hard.

Perhaps it was because this time they had sneaked in right in front of someone, and that person was Jiang Mo…

Not daring to make any rash moves, Zi Nu cautiously peeked out and glanced quickly and carefully at the bed through the screen.

Jiang Mo, with his handsome face, sat quietly on the bed, his palms facing upwards, his expression serene.

It seems that he is indeed in the best of his ability, and is in a state of complete focus.

Seeing this, Zi Nu breathed a sigh of relief, but she became even more careful in her actions, not wanting to disturb Jiang Mo who was practicing his internal energy.

With a slight turn of her beautiful eyes, she quickly locked onto the target she was looking for.

The white fox that had been stealing from all over the place lately was now lying by Jiang Mo's bed, curling itself into a fluffy white ball of fur, looking utterly harmless and adorable.

Many of the girls from Zilan Pavilion, including Zi Nu, were deceived by this appearance.

When Jiang Mo brought this little guy back here, the girls in the pavilion were overjoyed. After all, although some of the sisters in the pavilion had kept pets like raccoons for entertainment, how could they compare to this white fox as a spirit beast?

Whether it's the feel of the fur or its understanding nature, it's far inferior.

He easily won the favor of the girls.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly well-behaved and sensible white fox was actually a petty thief who liked to steal people's things, and he always targeted girls' cosmetics, jewelry and clothing.

I don't know who taught him this vulgar habit.

If it weren't for the white fox fur that was found at the scene of the crime, Zi Nu and the others probably wouldn't have suspected the little guy by now.

Once I catch it, I'll definitely grab its head and give it a good rub.

Let's teach this little guy a lesson!

With her eyes fixed on the fluffy white fox, Zi Nu secretly hardened her heart and tiptoed toward Jiang Mo's bedside.

She had already moved as quietly as possible.

Halfway through the journey, the white fox, which had been curled up and fast asleep, became alert and its ears immediately perked up.

Amber's eyes then opened.

Before its gaze could even lock onto Zi Nu, the white fox, which had been looking languid, nimbly leaped up, intending to turn in mid-air towards Zi Nu.

But before that, a soft ribbon had inexplicably wrapped around the white fox's claws.

The other end of the ribbon was held in Zi Nu's palm.

Zi Nu had come prepared. She did not want to harm the white fox, so her usual Crimson Serpent Sword was not convenient to use. Instead, she took a silk scarf and hid it in her sleeve.

With the infusion of internal energy, it also becomes extremely agile.

Not only did it entangle the white fox's claws, but it also wrapped a loop around the fox's mouth to prevent the fox from screaming and disturbing Jiang Mo.

With a flick of her silk scarf, she was about to pull the white fox back.

Just as Zi Nu was about to succeed in capturing the little guy in her arms, she suddenly heard a soft ripping sound.

That was the sound of a silk scarf being torn.

Clearly, this white fox has always had a good diet. Even though Zi Nu infused the silk scarf in her hand with internal energy, it was still somewhat too heavy to use for tug-of-war.

not good!

Upon hearing the sound, Zi Nu immediately exclaimed in surprise. She quickly stepped forward, stretched out her arms wrapped in tight sleeves, and prepared to catch the white fox before it fell to the ground.

So as not to disturb Jiang Mo, who was practicing his internal energy.

Zi Nu was also confused by her concern. She was in a hurry to catch the falling white fox and tried her best to lighten her body to reduce the sound of her footsteps when she landed. With so many thoughts, it was inevitable that she would make a mistake.

No one noticed the cunning glint in the white fox's eyes.

Zi Nu had calculated the distance perfectly; with just one more step, she could reach out and catch the white fox who was about to fall. However, as she took that step, she felt a strange, hard sensation under her feet.

Moreover, judging from the feel of the sole of the foot, the thing was round.

The surface is polished to an extremely smooth finish.

what?

Zi Nu had just seen clearly that there should have been no obstruction on the ground where she was stepping forward, but she never expected that she would suddenly step on this round object.

Suddenly, his foot slipped, and he lost his balance as he lunged forward.

Amidst the dizzying chaos, a dazzling light flashed briefly in Zi Nu's vision, but its distinctive material still allowed her to discern what it was.

Fire Rain Agate, the fire rain agate on Nongyu's body.

It was also one of the important targets of Zi Nu's sneak in. She knew that the treasure must have been secretly hidden by the white fox, but she never expected that it would appear under her feet.

What I didn't expect was that I hadn't noticed it at all before.

Regarding this, a certain Dongjun, who wished to remain anonymous, shared a lot in common with Zi Nu at this moment. If one had to say something, it would certainly be:

Beware of vixens.

You never know when you'll be bewitched by them.

But the exact timing of when she fell under the illusion wasn't Zi Nu's main concern at the moment. She didn't even have time to apologize to Nong Yu for stepping on the Fire Rain Agate; her mind was preoccupied with only one thought:

Oh no, this is going to disturb Jiang Mo.

No, what if he's at a crucial moment in his cultivation? If I fall, wouldn't I ruin his chances? If his training goes wrong, that would be extremely bad...

In a flash, Zi Nu, who was about to fall to the ground, gritted her teeth and struggled again.

Her slender, toned waist twisted, and she flung out the half-finished silk scarf in her hand after infusing it with her inner energy, hoping to use it to stabilize her body.

It was like performing the most breathtaking dance.

Just as Zi Nu was about to fall to the ground, she actually spun around and stood up, leaving Bai Hu, who had been squatting beside her with his little paws tucked in, completely stunned.

puff~

A soft sound came, still quite noticeable in the quiet room, but much gentler than a person falling to the ground with a thud.

Even if Jiang Mo had some idea, he wouldn't have been so startled.

This prevented the internal energy from going astray due to surprise.

With that thought in mind, Zi Nu finally breathed a sigh of relief. She reached out and pressed her hand to her buttocks, preparing to stand up.

But as soon as his palm landed, he immediately withdrew it as if he had touched a flame.

What, what, what's going on?

How did I end up sitting on Jiang Mo's lap? And that hard spot I accidentally pressed earlier...?

When Zi Nu came to her senses and realized where she had landed, she blushed deeply with embarrassment.

For a moment, she didn't care about the possibility of disturbing Jiang Mo, and quickly sat up straight to get off him.

But just as her buttocks left Jiang Mo's thighs, Zi Nu felt a tearing pain in her ankle.

She couldn't help but groan, unable to stand up straight, and fell backward again, landing directly in Jiang Mo's arms.

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

Even though Zi Nu is quite skilled, she is not immune to spraining her ankles, especially when she is about to fall to the ground and she insists on twisting her body to exert force, which makes it even easier for her to injure herself.

Gravity will punish anyone who dares to challenge it.

Thus, due to the influence of gravity, Zi Nu unexpectedly fell into Jiang Mo's arms. Her tall and slender back pressed against his chest, and her soft, pert buttocks were involuntarily squeezed and deformed when she sat heavily on his lap.

The white foxes watching were clearly stunned.

It saw a good show, but it wasn't at all what it had imagined.

It was clearly sent to keep an eye on the male owner to prevent any unscrupulous people from taking advantage of the situation, but somehow it backfired.

If the lady of the house finds out about this...
