Fairy, please don't do this!

Gu Jinzhao was silent for a few moments: "I like them all."

Luo Yirao tapped his brow with her slender, white finger and said coquettishly, "So my Jinzhao is a womanizer after all."

Gu Jinzhao looked somewhat awkward: "I just... can't control my feelings."

Luo Yirao gently raised her delicate hand and touched his cheek: "Besides them?"

A few strands of black hair fell down, resting on the tip of his nose, bringing a slight itch and a faint fragrance.

Gu Jinzhao's gaze grew increasingly unfocused, and he subconsciously asked, "Besides them, who else?"

Luo Yirao looked at him with a half-smile: "Isn't that Aunt Ruo who dotes on you to the bone?"

Gu Jinzhao tried to explain in a flustered manner: "Don't talk nonsense. She's my aunt. How could I have feelings for her?"

"It was just a casual question, don't take it seriously today."

A glint flashed in Luo Yirao's eyes, but she did not press the matter further.

The other party's answer perfectly matched the information she had obtained through her previous secret investigation.

Gu Jinzhao grew up in Qingyun City and was childhood sweethearts with Mu Yiren.

Later, following the orders of his master Wan Qingsong, he guided his junior sister Lin Qingci into the sect, and the two became close.

After arriving in Yujing City, he and his subordinate Jiang Tinglan went through many life-and-death situations together.

It's not hard to see from this that the three women all have somewhat ambiguous relationships with Gu Jinzhao.

As for why Si Ruoyu was mentioned last, it's because Gu Jinzhao was sent away from Yujing City when he was five years old and never experienced much maternal love.

These children often have a special longing for mature women who exude maternal love.

As it happens, Si Ruoyu is just that kind of woman.

"You must be tired after a busy day at the yamen. You should get some rest."

Luo Yirao gently placed his head back on the pillow and pulled the corner of the blanket over his body: "Auntie will leave after you fall asleep."

Gu Jinzhao gave a soft "hmm," slowly closed his eyes, and soon his even breathing could be heard.

Luo Yirao's gaze lingered on that peaceful sleeping face for a long time before she slowly got up, left the side room, and returned to her own room.

A gauze lamp on the sandalwood table casts a soft glow, illuminating a figure reading a book at the desk.

It was a woman.

She wore a simple, elegant moon-white dress, without any elaborate patterns, yet it accentuated a more voluptuous and alluring figure than Luo Yirao's.

Just sitting there, he exudes a sense of peace and compassion, which can soothe people's anxiety and unease, making people want to get closer to him.

However, she wore a pure white, jade-like ice sculpture mask on her face.

The mask covered her entire face, revealing only a pair of deep, unfathomable eyes.

The woman spoke, her voice soft and pleasant: "You have gained Gu Jinzhao's trust. What do you plan to do next?"

Luo Yirao sat down gracefully, picked up a glass of wine, a faint smile on her lips, and gently swirled the amber liquid in the glass: "Naturally, I will make him believe in me step by step and rely on me."

"From familial love to romantic love, then to a deep and infatuated infatuation, and finally he made me the only one in his heart..."

The woman said calmly, "The women surrounding Gu Jinzhao are all exceptionally beautiful and have outstanding temperaments."

Luo Yirao took a sip of the wine, her beautiful red lips glistening with a captivating luster: "I believe that with my methods, I can snatch him away and hold him firmly in my grasp."

At this point, she put down her wine glass: "Then he made him kill these women, one by one, who could control his emotions."

"In this way, no one will be able to shake my position in his heart..."

The woman remained silent for a moment before reminding him, "His relationship with Xiao Qingyi is not simple."

Luo Yirao smiled upon hearing this.

That smile was beautiful and captivating, yet it was like a snake flicking its tongue, sending chills down one's spine.

“Xiao Qingyi took everything from me before, so now I will take away the man she trusts most.”

She narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold smile curving her lips: "Then, we can use him to drag this woman down from her pedestal..."

Back then, she should have entered the palace as empress, killed Emperor Yong'an, and then, while the Prince of Zhenbei and the Underworld Cult were locked in a fierce battle, supported another prince to seize power.

In this way, she became the Empress Dowager, who controlled the entire Cangyue Dynasty and held absolute power.

This was the initial plan of the Heavenly Mother Sect.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.

Xiao Qingyi's appearance ruined everything.

The woman glanced at her, her red lips parted slightly: "The reason the plan failed back then was because of Xuan Ye!"

"And now, although Xuan Ye has fallen, there is still Tantai Xuanji!"

Luo Yirao said meaningfully, "I believe the Heavenly Mother can manipulate this woman at will..."

Chapter 246, Yuechu'e: Has the Master of the Luo Manor Keeping Male Concubines? (3K)

The next morning, as dawn broke.

Gu Jinchao got up from the bed, washed up with the help of a maid, and was about to change his clothes.

At that moment, a slender and voluptuous figure walked in gracefully.

Luo Yirao held a stack of neatly arranged new clothes in her hands and gently placed them on the table. She said softly, "I personally made a few clothes for you. Try them on today and see if they fit."

Gu Jinzhao was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "I'm going to the Military Supervisor's Office in a little while, so I need to wear my official robes."

Luo Yirao smiled and said, "These are originally official robes, made of fire-resistant brocade and Xuanling satin from the treasury."

"The Fire-resistant Brocade is not afraid of fire, and the Mysterious Spirit Satin brings coolness in summer. It is also engraved with protective spiritual patterns."

"Whether working in the government office or going out to capture demons, it is just right."

As she spoke, she unfolded a purple tiger-patterned robe and prepared to put it on him.

Gu Jinzhao quickly stepped back: "No need to trouble Aunt Luo, I can do it myself."

"This robe has complicated ties, and it takes quite a bit of effort to put it on without help."

Luo Yirao stepped forward again, draping the robe over his shoulders and carefully wrapping it around him.

Even through the thin inner garment, the soft, warm touch was clearly perceptible.

Especially her proud and full breasts, which appeared even more majestic and rounded as she raised her hand, almost touching his chest.

"Actually, these things can be left to the maids."

The fragrance of orchids lingered around Gu Jinzhao's nose, and his gaze involuntarily fell on the beautiful woman in front of him.

Her jet-black hair was styled into a simple bun, with only a plain jade hairpin inserted at an angle.

Her beautiful, jade-like cheeks, unadorned, lacked some of their allure but gained a touch of gentle grace.

A dark red nightgown accentuated her alluring figure with its prominent curves, the front of which was half-open, revealing her full breasts covered by a purple strapless bra and large expanses of dazzlingly white skin.

Luo Yirao tilted her head slightly, parted her red lips, and let her warm breath brush against his chin and neck: "They're clumsy, I can't trust them."

Gu Jinzhao stiffened slightly: "It's just too much trouble for Aunt Luo."

"Don't use the word 'trouble' again in the future."

"Auntie doesn't like it."

Luo Yirao seemed unaware of his unusual behavior and had already dressed him in a purple tiger-patterned robe, smoothing out the shoulder seams.

Then she stepped forward, bowed slightly, and fastened the intricate jade belt around his waist and the hidden buttons on his side.

The soft pressure became clearer, and her slender, white fingers occasionally brushed against her waist, bringing a slight tingling sensation.

Only after the last hidden clasp was fastened and the jade belt was adjusted to be straight did Luo Yirao take a step back, creating some distance between them.

She looked him up and down. The young man in front of her was wearing a brand-new purple tiger-patterned robe. The black robe was covered with purple patterns and outlined with gold thread, which made his figure look even more upright and tall. His handsome face revealed a bit of a fierce air.

"It fits perfectly, no need to alter it."

"You can wear this purple tiger-striped robe to your shift in a little while."

Gu Jinzhao responded softly, "Thank you, Aunt Luo."

"I've already said, there's no need to be so polite."

Luo Yirao gave him a half-scolding look, then clapped her hands lightly.

Several maids filed in, bringing out one exquisite breakfast dish after another.

"Let's have breakfast first."

Since this venomous beauty was so proactive, Gu Jinchao naturally didn't refuse.

Just like last night, Luo Yirao sat beside him and personally served him a bowl of fragrant porridge, saying, "The Cangmo Hunting Ceremony will be held in less than half a year."

"Your name is among those ten spots."

"What are your plans for today?"

Gu Jinzhao picked up a spoon, took a bite, and asked with a hint of doubt, "What are your plans?"

Luo Yirao said softly, "The demons sent by the Demon Court are all outstanding individuals from their respective races, and their strength is extraordinary."

"Especially the two pure-blooded offspring of the Azure Dragon and Golden Roc royal families, they are incredibly powerful, enough to rival the Dao Child and Zen Child of the Dao and Zen Realms."

Gu Jinzhao raised his eyes and asked, "Does Aunt Luo mean that I should take advantage of these six months to improve my strength as quickly as possible?"

Luo Yirao nodded slightly: "Each of the four prefectures of the Demon Suppression Division has a Dragon Transformation Pool, which is a division of a blessed land left over from ancient times."

"Most suitable for those who cultivate both divine and martial arts, it can help you temper your soul and body."

“If you have no other plans, I will take you inside to cultivate after you finish your duties each day.”

Gu Jinzhao pondered for a moment before replying, "Then I will follow Aunt Luo's arrangements."

The Dragon Transformation Pool is indeed a treasure trove for cultivation.

At least for him now, it's an excellent place to improve his strength.

During the day, one can capture demons and offer them as sacrifices; at night, one can enter the Dragon Transformation Pool to cultivate.

With such a combination, one's cultivation will naturally advance by leaps and bounds.

Furthermore, they could use the Dragon Pool evolution as an excuse to avoid the fierce battle between Mu Yiren and Yu Fengzhi.

This is a good choice before Xiao Ai leaves.

……

After finishing his breakfast, Gu Jinzhao went to the military supervisor's residence.

Luo Yirao did not go along because she was on leave, but came to Jinlu Pavilion alone.

With a personal welcome from the female manager, she went straight to the private room on the third floor, reserved for VIPs, and browsed the newly arrived silks and satins on the rack.

Just then, a beaded curtain rustled softly in an area separated by a carved sandalwood screen across the way, and a noblewoman in a deep blue palace dress gracefully walked out.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her demeanor was elegant and noble.

It was none other than Yue Chu'e, the head of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce.

The two beautiful women exchanged a glance, both slightly taken aback.

Yuechu'e was the first to react, her eyes sparkling: "What a rare guest!"

"I wonder what wind blew today that brought Lord Luo to Jinlu Pavilion?"

A smile bloomed on Luo Yirao's beautiful face as she nodded slightly: "It's been a long time. Lady E's charm is even greater than before."

She wasn't just being polite.

The woman before me, Yuechu, had a charming smile and graceful figure, more alluring than ever before, like a flower nourished by rain, her beauty beyond compare.

"Since I have a day off today and nothing to do, I thought I'd come here to buy some clothes."

Luo Yirao withdrew her gaze, browsing the clothes on the rack as she said, "I have already tried those ice silk stockings before. They are not only comfortable to wear, but they also make the legs look longer and more toned."

"I've heard that Jinlu Pavilion has recently released several new dresses, which are very popular among the ladies in the capital. I'd also like to take a look and see if there are any that catch my eye."

Upon hearing this, Yuechu'e's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of doubt arose in her heart.
