Fairy, please don't do this!

Xiao Yuan took out a completely black token from his pocket and infused it with his true essence.

hum-

The runes on the tower gate lit up one by one, and the gate burst open with a roar.

The four filed in.

The interior of the tower is much larger than its exterior, forming its own little world.

However, the scene before him made Xiao Yuan's heart sink.

Deep within the tower, the Xuanming Mosquito, which should have been bound by several chains and sealed on the altar, was nowhere to be found, leaving only broken chains scattered on the ground.

The tower door, which had been opened from the outside, was still perfectly sealed.

This shows that the demonic mosquito did not break the seal on its own, but rather someone opened the Demon-Suppressing Tower from the outside and released it.

"How is this possible?" Xiao Yuan's face turned ashen: "I only have one pass, which I have always kept personally and has never left my side."

Gu Jinzhao did not rush to reply, but instead slowly walked towards the altar.

He crouched down and reached out to pick up a broken piece of chain.

The chains were dark gold in color and cold to the touch; the demon-suppressing runes on their surface had faded and lost their luster.

The break was not clean and showed obvious signs of corrosion.

Gu Jinzhao handed the chain to the calico cat and whispered, "Little Li, sniff it and see if you can smell anything."

The calico cat lowered its head and sniffed before replying, "Besides a faint demonic aura, there's also an unpleasant bloody smell mixed in."

Luo Yirao also carefully examined the other side, her slender white fingers tracing a mark on the tower wall.

It was a dark red handprint, the fingerprints were blurry, yet it exuded a faint aura of bloodlust.

She seemed to have noticed something and whispered, "Look here."

The others immediately went forward to check.

Gu Jinzhao's gaze fell on the dark red handprint, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes: "The one who can break this level of seal must be at least a fourth-grade Golden Core realm demonic cultivator."

"This person is proficient in blood-fiend techniques and has considerable knowledge of sealing techniques, so he is very likely from the Blood River Sect."

He needed Xiao Yuan's cooperation to investigate the matter of the Blood Lotus Daoist, so he could only proceed step by step, first letting people know of his existence.

Jing Shu interjected, "If he's going to enter the tower, he must leave a trace."

"Has the Marquis ever parted from his pass?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan frowned and thought carefully.

After a long silence, his expression suddenly changed: "Three months ago, the spiritual patterns on the token became slightly dim due to the passage of time."

"I will temporarily hand over the token to my deputy, Wang Ben, and have him go to a master of array formations in the city to repair it, in order to prevent any accidents."

"This all happened in no more than half a day..."

Chapter 320, The Vicious Beauty: "Let's Cultivate Together!" (3K)

Inside a guest room at the Tian Ce Prefecture government office in the western border region.

The lamplight before him flickered dimly, and Gu Jinzhao was deep in thought, staring at a list, his brow furrowed.

Today's trip to the Blackwater Pool Demon-Suppressing Tower confirmed that the Xuanming Mosquito Demon had been released, but the clues went cold with Deputy General Wang Ben.

When Wang Ben was summoned for questioning, he remained calm and composed, clearly recounting the events leading up to the order to return the goods, including the time, place, and even who was around at the time.

Gu Jinzhao used a wisp of his divine soul power to investigate and confirmed that he was not lying, nor did he find any demonic seed in his spiritual platform.

Therefore, it can be determined that Wang Ben is not an incarnation of the Blood Lotus Daoist.

Therefore, Gu Jinzhao had no choice but to re-examine the seal of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Because the seal was not forcibly broken from the outside, but was gradually eroded and disintegrated from the inside by the Blood Lotus Daoist's clone using a secret method.

This requires the caster to understand the sealing formation and be able to approach the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Therefore, Xiao Yuan has ordered people to quickly retrieve the list of all personnel who have entered the Demon Suppression Tower for inspection and maintenance in recent years and begin to investigate them one by one.

Just as I was pondering this, there was a knock on the door.

"Today, it is me."

A familiar and pleasant female voice came through the phone.

Luo Yirao?

What brings you here so late?

Is she trying to win his favor again?

Thinking this, Gu Jinzhao got up and opened the door: "Aunt Luo, is there something you need to see me about?"

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

Luo Yirao gave him a charmingly reproachful look and slowly walked into the room.

"Naturally."

Gu Jinzhao smiled, closed the door, and poured her a cup of tea.

The femme fatale before them must have dressed up carefully.

The official robe she wore during the day had been replaced by a dark red long skirt, which clearly outlined her mature and voluptuous curves.

Her beautiful and alluring face was lightly made up, her lips were rosy red, and her eyes sparkled with moisture.

Her long hair was styled into an elegant woman's bun, with a red jade hairpin inserted at an angle. A few strands of hair fell beside her cheeks, adding a touch of charm to her captivating mature and alluring style.

Luo Yirao sat down, picked up her teacup, took an elegant sip, and then asked, "Is there any progress in the case?"

Gu Jinzhao shook his head: "I still have no clue."

Luo Yirao comforted her, "Take your time, there's no rush."

After saying that, she took out a jade slip from her sleeve and placed it on the table.

Gu Jinchao asked in confusion, "What is this?"

The jade slip is black and white, flowing with a mysterious Yin-Yang Daoist rhythm.

Luo Yirao parted her red lips slightly and said, "The Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture is a dual cultivation technique, divided into two volumes."

"The first volume, 'Nourishing the Elixir,' focuses on harmonizing Yin and Yang, strengthening the foundation, and cultivating the vital energy. It can balance the Yin and Yang energies within the body, solidify the foundation of the Dao, and remove hidden injuries."

"The second volume, 'The Chapter on Harmony,' focuses on the union of two people, helping men and women to jointly pursue the Great Dao."

Gu Jinzhao was taken aback: "Why did Aunt Luo give me the dual cultivation technique?"

Luo Yirao's gaze fell on Gu Jinzhao's face, her expression showing concern: "Didn't the Zen Master use the [Zen Sound Questioning the Heart] technique on you before, which damaged your soul and damaged your foundation?"

"Using this method, combined with the Seven-Colored Lotus, I believe you will recover quickly."

Gu Jinzhao shook his head: "I wasn't injured, I was just faking it."

“You can cultivate even without injury,” Luo Yirao said softly. “The Cangmo Hunting Ceremony is imminent, and you bear a heavy responsibility.”

"If you can study the first volume of this scripture, it will help you accelerate your cultivation and stabilize your realm, allowing you to make a name for yourself during the hunting season."

Gu Jinchao was somewhat troubled: "But this is a dual cultivation technique, how can I cultivate it alone?"

Luo Yirao said meaningfully, "With so many women in your family, can't they help you?"

According to what Gu Jinzhao revealed after getting drunk at the Luo residence, influenced by the "Heavenly Mother Sacred Heart Technique," this little rascal, although a womanizer, has never had any intimate relations with the women in the Gu household.

If that's the case, then naturally one cannot practice the "Yin Yang Harmony Scripture".

Gu Jinzhao looked at the jade slip on the table, his expression somewhat embarrassed: "My relationship with them hasn't reached that point yet, so I can't cultivate this technique."

Luo Yirao feigned surprise and said, "I didn't expect that you, you little rascal, who are usually so clumsy, would be so polite in this kind of thing."

Gu Jinzhao handed over the jade slip: "Aunt Luo, you should take this 'Yin Yang Harmony Scripture' back."

"I've already given it to you, how can I take it back?"

Luo Yirao's smile became even more beautiful and alluring: "Besides, they can't cultivate with you, but your aunt can."

At this point, she slowly stood up and leaned forward, saying, "Don't you still have feelings for Aunt Jinzhao?"

"Tonight, you can do whatever you want."

Gu Jinzhao's expression stiffened slightly: "How can this be?"

"My previous thoughts about Aunt Luo were all due to the poisonous blood of the dragon in the Dragon Transformation Pool."

"And now that I'm not poisoned, how could I dare to have any improper thoughts about Aunt Luo?"

Luo Yirao hooked her arm around his neck, pulled him close, and asked in a soft, fragrant breath, "Really not?"

"That night, you little rascal, weren't you playing hard to get, and then letting your aunt help you combine your yang fire?"

Her warm, fragrant breath brushed against my face, bringing a touch of enchantment.

Gu Jinzhao explained, "At that time, I was simply blinded by the True Yang Fire, which is why I did something that transgressed the rules. Please don't blame me, Aunt Luo."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yirao was taken aback at first, and then couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Her full breasts, encased in her clothes, rose and fell, like ripe, round fruits swaying in the night breeze, quite alluring.

Gu Jinzhao's mouth was a little dry from being shaken, and he couldn't help but ask, "What is Aunt Luo laughing at?"

"What are you thinking about, child?"

Luo Yirao stretched out her slender finger and gently tapped his forehead, her eyes filled with a hint of reproach, her charming expression seemingly overflowing from the corner of her eyes.

She released his neck, smiling gently, and said, "Who said I was going to write the next volume and go to the brothel with you, you little rascal?"

Gu Jinzhao was slightly taken aback: "What does this mean?"

Luo Yirao slowly explained, "The first volume, 'Nourishing the Elixir,' is an independent cultivation method and does not require dual cultivation."

"It only requires two people to practice together and use a specific method to guide the Yin and Yang energies to mutually verify and harmonize each other in order to achieve the best results."

"The most intimate thing we did during the process was just kissing."

Gu Jinchao subconsciously asked, "So, what does Aunt Luo mean?"

"What my aunt meant was, 'We shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders.'"

"Anyway, we were so intimate that night, kissing doesn't mean anything."

Luo Yirao rested her chin on her hand and smiled sweetly, "With my cultivation at the third-grade Nascent Soul realm, even without studying the lower volume, I can still make your cultivation progress by leaps and bounds."

Why did she bring the "Yin Yang He He Jing" (Scripture of Yin and Yang Harmony)?

Naturally, it was for the purpose of cultivating with Gu Jinzhao.

During this time, their relationship naturally grew closer.

Based on the feelings and ambiguity of the past few days, coupled with the silent erosion of the "Heavenly Mother Sacred Heart Technique", Gu Jinzhao is bound to gradually fall into it.

This was the second step in her plan to control Gu Jinzhao.

Of course, she clearly defined the boundaries.

Only the first volume is edited; at most, kissing is allowed.

Gu Jinzhao couldn't help but ask, "But this still damages Aunt Luo's reputation."

Luo Yirao rolled her eyes coquettishly: "You little rascal, when you were touching and hugging your auntie before, why didn't you think of this?"

"Now you're starting to pretend to be a gentleman..."

That's what she said, but she could tell that Gu Jinzhao cared about her, "Aunt Luo," more and more, unlike before when he kept his distance from her.

Gu Jinzhao hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed: "In that case, I'll trouble Aunt Luo."

He could see perfectly well that Luo Yirao wanted to use the "Yin Yang He He Jing" to win him over.

Therefore, this opportunity was given to her.

Miaotan's understanding of the "Emptiness and Form Zen Sutra" has improved, making it the perfect opportunity to target this venomous beauty.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yirao's beautiful lips curved into a slightly alluring smile.

This little rascal clearly has feelings for her, but he doesn't dare to do anything reckless because of her status as an elder.
