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

While Jiang Mo was pondering this, Hu Yu'er had already summoned the manager of the guest rooms to prepare rooms for Jiang Mo and the others.

But after inquiring about the situation here, her delicate brows furrowed slightly:

"There are only four guest rooms left? This year's guests are definitely more than ever before. Well, that makes sense, it's his 50th birthday after all..."

Hu Yu'er muttered to herself, as if trying to comfort herself, or perhaps explaining something to someone else.

Before she could make a decision on the room assignments, a vulgar voice interrupted uninvited: "That's easy, just one room for each person!"

Chapter 41 I see, you're just seeing lust in the eyes of the lewd.

Ok?

Liu Yi?

What does this fatso want by showing up uninvited?

Did you go out of your way to fawn over your goddess? Ha, ever since ancient times, simps have never had a good end. Someone as stupid and wicked as you deserves to die a horrible death!

Jiang Mo raised his eyes slightly and saw a burly figure approaching.

The fact that Hu Yuer bowed and called him "Lord Liu" confirmed his suspicions, and an overwhelming sense of disgust surged within him.

Admittedly, Liu Yi was still in the army at this time and did not yet become as bloated and conceited as he would later become.

Even just looking at his appearance, his rather robust physique paired with a bright silver armor truly gave him a rather heroic and extraordinary aura.

But Jiang Mo is not the kind of person who judges people by their appearance.

Speaking of appearance, Wushuang Gui was rather frightening. Even as a child, he didn't look cute at all, but Jiang Mo never disliked him.

No matter how hard Liu Yi tried to disguise himself, the sneaky look in his eyes was hard to hide.

Not to mention Jiang Mo, who knew what this guy would do later, even Yan Lingji, who had no contact with him at all, couldn't help but frown slightly and silently take a step back to create distance.

If she hadn't wanted to avoid being impolite, she would definitely have looked disgusted.

If they persist in their harassment, they will be immediately sentenced to be burned at the stake, just as they would be treated in the village for those who approach with ill intentions.

Apart from the hidden witch whose expression was unreadable, Wei remained calm and composed.

They've clearly gotten used to this kind of pretense.

Liu Yi, a rough-around-the-edges guy with a military background, was completely oblivious to the slight disdain emanating from the crowd. He pressed his way forward and, without a second thought, began to speak:

"Four people, four rooms, isn't that just right?"

As he spoke, his eyes were quite mischievous. First, he glanced at Yan Lingji, but after Jiang Mo subtly covered his eyes, he swept over Wei, who was smiling charmingly beside him, before finally belatedly landing on Hu Yuer.

Lustful and greedy, cruel and vicious.

No wonder Hu Yu'er, who will later become Mrs. Hu, always looked down on Liu Yi.

If it were Jiang Mo, he would probably have kicked this guy into the street like a dog long ago.

The room arrangement at this moment also revealed a perfunctory feeling, mostly because they wanted to get rid of Jiang Mo and the others for Hu Yu'er as soon as possible, so that he would have a chance to pester them.

Before Jiang Mo could even refute her, Hu Yu'er shook her head:

"Thank you for your kindness in helping me, Lord Liu. However, there are many people coming to celebrate my father's birthday, and the guest rooms are in short supply. We should leave some rooms available in case of unforeseen circumstances."

In fact, there aren't enough rooms.

Crown Prince Tianze holds a prestigious position, allowing him to reside in the rear courtyard rooms to avoid disturbing the Baiyue crown prince with other guests. However, it is impossible to arrange for all his entourage to stay in the rear courtyard rooms.

We should always leave some space for the other person in the guest room.

"We didn't expect so many guests these past few days. It's an oversight on the part of the resort. Please forgive us for the poor hospitality. Would it be alright if we arranged for two people to share a room?"

With an apologetic tone, Hu Yu'er looked at Jiang Mo and the others.

The guest rooms here are as spacious as the entire resort; even four people wouldn't feel cramped, let alone two.

For Jiang Mo and his companions, who had endured hardships and slept outdoors all the way, this was nothing short of a luxury.

Therefore, Jiang Mo did not think much about it and immediately nodded in agreement: "It is we who have troubled your manor. So, as Miss says, we will share a room for two people."

With that, Jiang Mo pulled Yan Lingji along and headed towards a room.

Hu Yu'er, who had been relieved to see the other party nod in agreement, was suddenly stunned. She even forgot the original plan and stared wide-eyed at Jiang Mo's actions.

Four people can live in one room and it doesn't feel crowded.

Then why arrange two rooms?

Hu Yuer naturally considered the differences between men and women, so she didn't say much about how to allocate rooms. However, she didn't expect that Jiang Mo, who had always acted very well-behaved, would do something so impolite.

Wei wasn't surprised; in fact, she seemed to realize something.

Her smile grew even brighter, her fingers twirling the blood-stained strands of hair at the tips, tilting her head to carefully observe Yan Lingji's reaction.

In the past, Yan Lingji never felt anything was wrong with sneaking into Jiang Mo's bed all the time.

But recently, thanks to Wei's enthusiastic explanations, this little girl has finally begun to understand what the so-called difference between men and women really means. Now, being dragged by Jiang Mo to share a room, her slightly flushed face shows a rare hint of panic.

He couldn't help but turn back to look at Wei, his eyes revealing a questioning look.

Her blood-stained lips parted, and Wei silently uttered a teasing word: "The thing we do for sex, huh?"

"Ha, they are indeed a bunch of uncivilized Baiyue barbarians, utterly ignorant of manners!"

Seemingly determined to maintain his unpleasant persona, this guy overstepped his bounds and started shouting even though the matter had absolutely nothing to do with Liu Yi and Hu Yu'er, the hostess, hadn't even voiced her objections:

"To engage in lewd acts in broad daylight is truly shameless!"

This guy even deliberately raised his voice, causing the other people in the guest room area to subconsciously look over, their eyes all focusing on Jiang Mo and Yan Lingji.

The Eight Trigrams are a natural part of human nature.

The topic of daytime debauchery, in particular, is naturally very attractive, and seeing the appearances of Yan Lingji and Jiang Mo, it's even more impossible to look away.

Jiang Mo had originally been too lazy to pay attention to Liu Yi, but at this moment he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

It was just a dungeon, and Jiang Mo never really cared about what outsiders thought of him. But he couldn't ignore the way others pointed fingers at Yan Lingji.

Looking up at Liu Yi, Jiang Mo saw a deep look of jealousy in his eyes.

Clearly, this person, whose behavior was quite vulgar, was not standing up to uphold any etiquette, but simply out of envy, jealousy, and hatred that Jiang Mo and Yan Lingji were sharing a room.

"Forgive my ignorance, but I don't know what this uncle means by the phrase 'daytime debauchery'?"

The advantage of being young is evident at this moment. Jiang Mo stared wide-eyed at Liu Yi, his face showing a very innocent and naive look.

He really does seem like a naive and ignorant young man from the Baiyue region.

Yan Lingji, standing next to her, had a similar expression.

However, her performance lacked any acting skills; she genuinely didn't know what "promiscuity in broad daylight" meant.

Yan Ling Ji hasn't learned the specific details yet!

"Heh, you don't even know this? Do I have to teach you? Well, that's... cough, a very shameless thing."

Liu Yi revealed a lewd smile, intending to flirt with him.

Of course, he wasn't trying to flirt with Jiang Mo, but rather with Yan Lingji, who looked completely innocent and bewildered beside him. However, he stopped mid-sentence, noticing the obvious disgust in Hu Yu'er's gaze, and quickly composed himself, swallowing back the vulgar words.

"I don't understand."

After saying that decisively, Jiang Mo then adopted a very sincere attitude and slapped Liu Yi back across the face:

"However, I once heard a saying from the Central Plains: 'The benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.'"

"My senior sister and I are traveling together, so it's only natural that we should look after each other. This is nothing out of the ordinary. But this uncle saw shamelessness in this ordinary thing. Could it be that he's thinking about nothing but shameless things?"

"Lord Liu, could it be that you see lust in the eyes of the lewd?"

A soft chuckle came from Hu Yu'er beside her.

Chapter 42 Incompetent in both literature and martial arts, yet dares to bark and howl even as a roadside dog.

"you……!"

Already rendered speechless by Jiang Mo's rebuttal, Liu Yi was further enraged by the merciless ridicule of her goddess, her face turning pale and then flushed with anger.

His eyes widened in anger as he pointed at Jiang Mo, his hands trembling with rage.

A high-ranking South Korean general was actually slapped in the face by a teenager from the Baiyue region who used ancient Central Plains language. The slap was quite loud.

This drew disdainful looks from many people behind him when they looked at Liu Yi.

Unfortunately, Liu Yi, a rough and uncultured man from a military background, was truly quite uneducated. He had to ponder for a long time to understand the meaning of the saying "the benevolent see benevolence, the wise see wisdom" from the Book of Changes.

Trying to defeat the opponent in terms of cultural heritage is like throwing an egg against a rock.

So Liu Yi roared and unleashed the fierce aura he had honed over many years in the military, scaring the little brat in front of him so much that he wet himself.

But he only managed to utter one word.

The next second, Liu Yi met Jiang Mo's exceptionally dark and deep eyes, and his aura immediately froze.

A chill ran down Liu Yi's spine.

Despite being fully armed and clad in heavy armor, Liu Yi felt no sense of security whatsoever from the thick armor he wore.

In a daze, he felt as if he had become a flying insect on a spider web.

They had already fallen into the ruthless hunter's deadly trap, unable to struggle even slightly, and could only await the tragic end of being completely devoured...

Whoosh~

The crisp sound of the blade being drawn startled many of the onlookers behind, who instinctively retreated and scattered like birds and beasts.

Hu Yu'er, who had no martial arts skills, was also terrified and turned pale.

However, he forced himself to remain calm, raised his hand to call out to the guards in the manor not far away, and prepared to control the situation and prevent it from escalating further.

Jiang Mo remained calm even as he faced the blade head-on.

Without changing his expression, he gently squeezed Yan Lingji's small hand, indicating that it wasn't her turn to perform yet, and then calmly stepped closer to Liu Yi.

In Jiang Mo's eyes, Liu Yi, who had drawn his knife, did not exude any imposing presence. Instead, this action revealed his cowardice and the fact that he needed the courage provided by the blade in his hand to stand firm when facing Jiang Mo, a young man.

If it were just this seemingly strong but actually weak thing, it wouldn't be a threat to Jiang Mo at all.
