Fairy, please don't do this!

Jiang Tinglan snorted coldly, picked up the calico cat that was dozing after eating, and got up to leave.

It was obvious that Lady Dugu had intentionally seduced Gu Jinzhao.

It would be impossible to say that Dugu Wang did not give instructions in this matter.

After all, Gu Jinzhao is so young, yet he has already become the chief of the Demon Suppression Division. It's hard to believe he has no one behind him.

And if he can take advantage of this opportunity to get on board, he might just rise in rank from a lowly seventh-rank county magistrate.

Besides, Jiang Tinglan had already noticed that.

Not only was Lady Dugu dressed like a vixen, but she also stole a few glances at Gu Jinchao while they were having their meal, clearly attracted by his incomparably handsome face.

Jiang Tinglan left her seat, but Gu Jinzhao brazenly sized up the beautiful woman in front of him, a strange glint in his eyes.

Lady Dugu felt somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze, but her eyes were full of alluring charm: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Gu Jinchao picked up his wine glass and took a sip: "I just feel that it's the dead of winter now, and Madam is dressed so lightly. Aren't you cold?"

Lady Dugu pursed her lips: "These are secret-recipe medicinal wines. After drinking them, they can dispel cold and warm you up, so you won't feel cold."

At this point, her cheeks flushed, as if she was a little embarrassed to say it: "Moreover... it also has the effects of nourishing qi and blood, warming the kidneys and raising yang."

Gu Jinzhao's expression was somewhat strange: "Warm the kidneys and raise yang?"

Lady Dugu gave a soft "hmm" and glanced at him with alluring eyes: "This is prepared for you, sir."

"But unexpectedly, guests arrived tonight, so..."

Gu Jinzhao realized what was happening.

This refers to Dugu Wang, who, in middle age, is no longer able to work hard!

And what about her?

At the prime of his life, he can suck up dirt just by sitting down?

"In that case, it seems I, Gu, have benefited from this!"

Gu Jinzhao put down his wine cup and asked casually, "I just don't know if this medicinal wine is effective for cultivators?"

“Of course it will work!” Madam Dugu picked up the wine pot and poured him more wine. “It’s just that even if you don’t drink this medicinal wine, you are still strong and healthy, with plenty of yang energy…”

Before she could finish speaking, she met Gu Jinzhao's ambiguous gaze, and her heart skipped a beat, causing her to drop the wine pot.

The amber-colored warm wine was spilled all over the tiger-striped robe on his right leg, soaking him from the middle of his thigh down to his knee.

Chapter 111, "She's a pure stunner, but not even half as alluring as my wife!" (2.4K)

"I'm sorry, sir!"

Lady Dugu didn't even call for her maid, but hurriedly squatted down.

Her dark green silk skirt spread out like a lotus leaf. She looked up at Gu Jinchao, her pretty face flushed with apology: "Let me wipe it for you, my lord!"

After saying that, she took out a silk handkerchief from her sleeve and gently covered his thigh. Her fingertips lightly touched the fabric through the handkerchief, her movements gentle yet subtly suggestive.

The magistrate's wife wiped very carefully, from her thighs to her knees. When the handkerchief was soaked with wine, she wrung it out into a bowl and then moved to a clean spot to continue wiping.

Occasionally, her fingertips would inadvertently brush against the side of his leg, feeling its warmth, but the touch would be fleeting.

Because of her squatting posture, her thighs, wrapped in flesh-colored thin silk pants, were faintly visible through the slit in her skirt.

"I'll just go back and change my clothes, Madam, there's no need for you to go to such trouble!"

"If others see this, wouldn't they misunderstand?"

Despite this, Gu Jinchao neither dodged nor avoided her, letting her do as she pleased.

"I'm also drunk, so I'll go back to my room first."

"Please enjoy your meal, Commander Gu!"

Lady Dugu then realized that things seemed too ambiguous. She glanced at him shyly, hurriedly got up, and left the hall in a rush.

Gu Jinchao narrowed his eyes as he looked at that graceful and alluring back.

All of this looked like a beautiful but frivolous county magistrate's wife using alcohol to seduce her guests.

But he's here to investigate a case, isn't that too much of a coincidence?

……

Outside the hall, the calico cat held in someone's arms asked in confusion, "Sister Jiang, why did you draw your sword?"

Jiang Tinglan forcibly suppressed her anger and sheathed her sword: "I just can't stand this kind of flirtatious woman, I want to kill her with one stroke!"

The calico cat blinked its big, dark eyes, its face full of curiosity: "What does 'flirtatious' mean?"

Jiang Tinglan said coldly, "Madam Dugu is indeed flirtatious!"

The calico cat seemed to understand but not quite: "So Lady Dugu's name is Fengsao? What's her surname?"

"Master Jiang?"

Why don't you go back to your room and rest?

Just then, Madam Dugu came out and saw Jiang Tinglan standing outside the door, and her steps paused slightly.

Jiang Tinglan did not respond, but simply picked up the calico cat and left the corridor with a stern face.

Gu Jinzhao naturally noticed the commotion outside, but his expression remained unchanged. He simply instructed a maid to take him to his residence.

"If you need anything, my lord, you may summon me."

A moment later, he moved into an elegant private room.

The ghost wife then floated out from the shadows: "My little husband seems quite interested in that Lady Dugu from earlier~"

Gu Jinchao sat down, leisurely poured himself a cup of fragrant tea, and took a sip: "I'm not interested in other people's wives."

"Is that really true?"

An Wanxi moved gracefully with light, lotus-like steps as she approached.

Tonight, she wore her hair in a traditional Chinese updo and a dark purple gauze dress with a halter neckline. A bodice embroidered with lotus flowers and carp peeked out from the front of her dress.

A red string tied around her fair neck completely covered her high, full breasts, making them appear extremely plump and large.

The skirt narrows sharply from the waist down, and is a bodycon fishtail style that hugs the round, full-moon shape of the hips perfectly, creating a full curve under the thin, gossamer-like gauze.

That alluring figure, so plump and luscious, yet not greasy, was truly exquisite!

Gu Jinzhao knew that she had dressed up as a mature and beautiful woman because of Madam Dugu's seduction earlier, and couldn't help but sigh: "She can't compare to my wife!"

An Wanxi sat sideways on his lap, her extremely alluring and voluptuous body swaying gently: "How can you not compare?"

Gu Jinchao truthfully stated, "His appearance is inferior, and his figure is far inferior as well."

Lady Dugu was indeed quite beautiful, but in his eyes, she was rather ordinary.

After all, every woman around him was a beauty of unparalleled grace and charm, which inevitably raised his aesthetic standards.

An Wanxi's red lips curved slightly, her smile becoming even more radiant and captivating: "And what about your temperament?"

"She's a pure shokuhime, but she's not even half as charming as my daughter-in-law."

Gu Jinzhao naturally put his arm around that alluring waist and said with a smile.

"My little husband has such a sweet tongue~"

"No wonder he can always charm Mu Yiren and Lin Qingci so much!"

An Wanxi tilted her head slightly and kissed him on the lips with satisfaction.

With a mature and beautiful body in his arms, and a rich, warm fragrance lingering around his nose, Gu Jinzhao directly captured those luscious red lips, taking in their alluring and seductive charm.

"Hmm~"

An Wanxi's face flushed slightly as she wrapped her arms around his neck, responding to her husband's affection.

After a long while, their lips parted!

Gu Jinzhao breathed in the fresh air and narrowed his eyes slightly: "This Lady Dugu has a problem."

An Wanxi was slightly taken aback: "What's wrong with her?"

Gu Jinzhao pinched her round, beautiful buttocks: "You inexplicably seduced me, isn't that a problem?"

"Those who offer unsolicited favors are either treacherous or thieves."

"Couldn't it be that Dugu Wang instructed them to use this to curry favor with the Demon Suppression Bureau?"

An Wanxi gave a soft hum, revealing half of her fair, pink legs from under her skirt, which seemed to be coated with an alluring honey color in the candlelight.

Gu Jinzhao shook his head. "Even if we wanted to, now is not the time."

The case of the mummified corpse remains unsolved, and a captain of the Demon Suppression Division has also died.

Even if Dugu Wang were incredibly stupid, he wouldn't be so eager to please at this time.

An Wanxi grabbed his hand and placed it on her fair thigh: "So, he was unaware that Madam Dugu had seduced your husband just now?"

Feeling that soft, smooth, and beautiful sensation, Gu Jinzhao's heart fluttered: "I don't know if he knows or not, but there's something strange about this Dugu Wang."

"How to say?"

An Wanxi placed her soft hand on his chest, her slender white fingers tracing circles on it, bringing a slightly ticklish sensation.

"When I asked about the Crimson Frost Flower today, he didn't hesitate and immediately told me its name, and he seemed to know it very well."

"This is clearly unreasonable!"

Gu Jinzhao explained.

Every year at the Hundred Flowers Festival, one hundred kinds of exotic flowers are sent to the Hundred Flowers Pond.

Although this requires screening by the county government, Dugu Wang, as the county magistrate, is very busy with official duties, and it is already extremely rare that he can remember the flower names!

He also mentioned that before this flower blooms, it needs to absorb cold air to condense crystals and swallow moonlight to shine.

It is also known that because of its cold nature, it should not be planted in more than three rows, and its flowers should not be admired for more than three quarters of an hour, otherwise it is easy to attract cold evil into the body.

This is a bit outrageous!

An Wanxi also seemed to be deep in thought: "In that case, it is a bit strange."

"But this alone is not enough to prove that he has a problem."

Gu Jinzhao reminded her, "Wife, don't forget, Mo Ya, the captain, died in Dugu Wang's mansion."

"According to the records, the Hundred Flowers Feast had just begun to be prepared before Mo Ya came to investigate the mummified corpse case."

"At that time, although the number of tourists in Baihua County increased, it was not enough to fill all the inns."

An Wanxi blinked her beautiful eyes: "So, Dugu Wang deliberately invited Mo Ya back to the manor?"

"Could it be that, just like today, he intends to use Lady Dugu to seduce him and thereby gain connections with the Demon Suppression Bureau?"

Gu Jinzhao shook his head: "Mo Ya is already middle-aged and has only recently become a captain. He doesn't have much potential, so why bother trying to win him over?"

"Unless Dugu Wang has other motives, or some peculiar fetish..."

An Wanxi smiled slightly, pursing her lips: "That's possible!"

"I read in a book that there's a type of man who likes to share his wife with other men..."

"What kind of green-haired turtle is this..." Gu Jinchao rolled his eyes.

But the thought of his ghost wife helping him build a harem, and the fact that she was his wife, made him feel like something was off.

An Wanxi seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile, "So, the reason why my little husband didn't push Lady Dugu away just now was because he did it on purpose, to see what tricks she was up to?"

Gu Jinzhao remained noncommittal, directly activating the power of [Ugliness] to envelop himself: "Although the blood-eating worms have been found in the case of the mummified corpse, the mastermind behind it has not yet been found."

"Therefore, we cannot let go of any useful clues."

An Wanxi asked in confusion, "Where are you going, my little husband?"

Gu Jinzhao pushed open the window, leaped out, and disappeared into the darkness: "Let's go see what kind of tricks this magistrate and his wife are up to..."

Chapter 112, "My little husband, I'm stuck in the wall~" (3K)

"Useless, utterly useless... I haven't had my fill yet!"
