Domineering Little Li, Without a Trace of Feeling!

I could still smell a faint fragrance, but the dizziness had disappeared.

The fragrance of the flowers still carried a soothing, intoxicating scent that made one's limbs feel weak, but it was useless to Li Mo, who was immune to all poisons.

It should be Luo Ji's natural body fragrance, rather than from her actively using her cultivation Cultivation Method.

This means that the other party's first probing has passed.

Luo Ji sized up the young man opposite her, then put on a smile again:

"I really can't understand what it is about Wan Chunting that could attract the attention of young Master Li. It can't be... me, his widow, can it?"

She leaned forward, her humility and open-mindedness subtly revealed.

"If that's the case, just let someone inform my sister. Why bother the adults with all this?"

Li Mo couldn't believe a word this wicked woman said, and these were the reasons why he came to her door to investigate.

But he had no idea that this was the Imperial Capital branch of the Drizzle Pavilion, and he couldn't tell Luo Ji that it was a beautiful coincidence, as she wouldn't believe him anyway.

But who can blame him when Li is a genius?

After a moment's thought, I found the reason.

Maintaining his Ice Block expression, he said:

"What's most troublesome about the Drizzle Pavilion is that they only care about money and not people, but that's also what makes them so likable."

"You need me to do something for you?"

Luo Ji narrowed her eyes, slowly stood up, and sat down beside him.

She brewed the flower tea herself, crossed her legs, lowered her eyes, but her gaze never left Li Mo's expression.

It seemed as if they were trying to catch a hint of unease in his expression.

"The beauties on the Hundred Flowers Ranking are all famous, and they all attract attention. I feel at ease knowing they're staying here."

"If I, as your sister, were to make a move, the price would be very high. Are you really willing to pay such a high price for this?"

"As long as it's worth the price, that's fine."

Li Mo remained calm. "You must know that I know quite a few of the women on the list."

"Now you've met another one, but this place is my sister's favorite. They say a gentleman doesn't take what others cherish..."

Luo Ji poured tea into his cup and handed it to him kindly.

"Wan Chunting's value lies not in its location or its decor, but in you and your men. If you move to another location, as long as you're there, it won't be long before it becomes the second Wan Chunting."

Li Mo drank his tea, glanced at the seemingly ordinary but actually wicked aunt, and ignored her little tricks.

"I don't like using other people's things. This place is mine. You can take your payment and find somewhere else to go."

Domineering and emotionless, Xiao Li.

Since it's a business negotiation, it's naturally better to spend more money.

Why not exchange a pile of useless gold and silver for something useful?

"?"

Luo Ji narrowed her eyes.

Was she just giving a flirtatious look to a blind man?

For a Blood Qi young man like Li Mo, her tried-and-true tricks failed him; he didn't even glance at her, his interest in her cup of floral tea far greater than in her own.

What's even more infuriating is...

This kid clearly has such strong yang energy, he's practically burning up, his body is even better than External Scene Realm who doesn't train physically.

Even if a mature woman isn't as pretty as a young girl, her unspoken words can be even more alluring to younger men.

Of course she didn't know.

This guy, Little Li, has really eaten fine bran; even in his dreams, he dares to make the Empress Master call him "husband"!

"Everything at the Drizzle Pavilion has a price; name your price."

"I have a suggestion."

Luo Ji, with her legs crossed, lightly kicked his shin with her toe and said with a smile:

"Want it for free?"

"?"

"A prodigy like you, I'll consider it an investment from me, let's be friends..."

She moved closer and closer as she spoke.

But Little Li knew one thing well: what's free is often the most expensive.

Moreover, he didn't even spend his investment, and he'd still be indebted to others. Could he really do that kind of business?

So he took out two deposit slips and used them to cover Luo Ji's face.

Just as Luo Ji was about to speak with a smile, her smile was replaced by blankness.

She recognized the deposit slip from Hengtong Trading Firm, but the withdrawal section at the bottom was blank.

"Enter the number you want."

"..."

When Li Mo was in Yun Province, he had everyone in the entire Yun Province branch act as his bodyguards.

At first, she was somewhat skeptical about the veracity of the information.

Now I suddenly have no doubts.

"The tea is quite good; I'll take some back to try."

Li Mo knew he had passed this hurdle and the business was done.

So he grabbed a handful of flower tea, wiped it on his neck, and then put two more packets in his pocket.

As the crisp notification sound rang in his ears, he pushed open the door and went out.

Watching his retreating figure as he went downstairs, Luo Ji spoke after a long while:

"Come out."

As soon as she finished speaking, the music from behind the screen stopped, and a woman put down her instrument and moved away gracefully.

She was dressed as a maid, and her face was slightly blurred before her true features were revealed.

"Mianmian, your taste seems a little too good."

"It is my duty to recruit talented individuals for our building."

Yin Mianmian's eyes twitched slightly.

Luo Ji teased, "Since you look down on him, I, your widowed sister, have been around for many years, so..."

"Don't joke like that!" Yin Mianmian immediately became alert.

Luo Ji's smile widened, feigning grievance. "Look at you, why are you getting so worked up? Didn't you just say it was perfectly natural?"

"I'm doing this for your own good." Yin Mianmian shook her head.

What do you mean?

"If you want to die at Ying Bing's hands, don't take me with you."

Upon arriving in the lobby, Li Mo looked up at the sky and realized it was almost noon.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Wan Chunting, Luo Ji did indeed carry out her duties after receiving the money. She quickly provided him with a list of the women on the daily list.

It wasn't just a list, but also all sorts of information—it was even more detailed than the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye.

Some were not present.

Some are unlikely to come, while others are on their way.

"They should arrive in a couple of days... Mao Zhen, Lu Yunyi..."

"I don't know if it'll be possible, Mr. Shang..."

Li Mo turned the page without making a sound, pretending not to see it.

Since it was still early, he decided to gather all the flowers together, at least to prepare for the handover when they would take the stage.

"Please go and inform them."

"Yes, yes, of course."

"By the way, do you have a grill here?"

After hearing his words, the servant went to each room to ask for instructions.

Well, although he said he had prepared the performance props in advance, he actually had no idea what they needed.

It's okay, I'll ask all of that later.

Let's grill some skewers first.

I'm so hungry today.

As Li Mo spoke, he brushed sauce onto the barbecue grill.

Yes, he really was hungry.

It's definitely not because I'm afraid of being too feminine and going home smelling like perfume...
