Watching her captivating and enchanting demeanor, Chen Mo couldn’t help his heart from skipping a beat.
*This demoness...*
*Every single move of hers is exasperating!*
Chen Mo walked over to the table and sat down.
Gu Manzhi took away the teacup that Ye Henshui had used, poured a fresh cup of tea, and asked, "Isn’t it still an hour until it’s time to dismiss? How do you have the time to come by?"
Chen Mo replied, "I need to leave the Capital City soon and won’t be back for a few days. Yu’er’s Essence might not be enough, so I came by to replenish it for her in advance."
Gu Manzhi paused briefly and asked, "Going to handle a case?"
Chen Mo nodded and said, "You could say that."
Gu Manzhi didn’t say anything further, and the atmosphere settled into a brief silence.
"Here, this is for you."
Chen Mo took a round mirror out of the Sumeru Bag and placed it in front of her.
The mirror’s body was pure white, intricately carved with complex patterns. The surface was bright as silver, with Primordial Qi gathered around it, making it quite elegant in appearance.
"This is a Spiritual Treasure refined from the Demon Python Spine. It can amplify the power of Daoist Skills and has the ability to protect your body, able to withstand attacks on the Divine Soul. It should be quite suitable for you."
Although Gu Manzhi was very skilled in Daoist Skills, she didn’t seem to have any decent Magical Treasures.
Considering she was the esteemed sect’s saintess, it seemed that the days at the Moon Brilliance Sect weren’t going too well...
Gu Manzhi gazed at the mirror reflecting her beautiful face, bit her lip softly, and said in a quiet voice, "Thank you, I really like it..."
At that moment, the door of the room opened, and Yu’er walked in.
"Sister, I’m so hungry and want the master’s Essence... Master?!"
Upon seeing Chen Mo, her eyes immediately lit up, and she ran towards him.
Crack—
A soft click sounded.
A white ring clasped around Yu’er’s neck, attached to a chain, the other end was fastened to a table leg.
"Huh? What’s this?"
Yu’er asked curiously.
Chen Mo chuckled and said, "It’s a gift for you. Do you like it?"
Every time he and Gu Manzhi teamed up, Yu’er would always want to join, becoming bolder with her actions... In the future, he might as well just lock her outside the door as a guard dog.
"I like it O(≧▽≦)O~ I like anything the master gives me!"
"This is the first time the master has given a gift to Yu’er. Yu’er is so happy and blissful..."
Yu’er sat on the ground in a duck-sitting posture, holding the chain in her hands, rubbing it against her cheek. Her eyes were moist, and her cheeks flushed with an unusual redness.
"..."
Chen Mo frowned slightly.
*Why does it feel like she’s even more excited...?*
Just then, Gu Manzhi stood up and pulled him into the inner chamber.
"Come, follow me into the room."
?
Chen Mo shook his head and said, "I’m not here to..."
"I know."
Her beautiful eyes glancing sideways at him, she hummed lightly and said, "Let’s clean you up first so you won’t attract other girls while you’re outside."
Chen Mo said helplessly, "But I have to leave in just an hour."
"Time really is a bit short..."
Gu Manzhi pondered for a moment, then unfastened the chain from Yu’er, handing it to Chen Mo, blushing as she said, "This should make things quicker..."
Chen Mo: "???"
...
An hour later.
Under the silent onslaught of Yu’er and Gu Manzhi, Chen Mo admitted defeat and left the Imperial Music Bureau.
At the East City Gate, a group of people was already waiting.
