Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 149: Exotic Oiran, Please Use It, Sir

"Sir, how about my tofu?"

"It's okay."

"Tofu is most enjoyable when eaten hot. I know a way to keep it soft and warm."

The warm breeze is intoxicating, and the fresh aroma of tofu fills the room.

Lu Zhan sat lazily on the chair, watching the woman in front of him showing off. She was one of the four tofu beauties. The other three were sent away by Wei Zhao not long after putting down the tofu.

The only one left was the woman in the maroon cotton shirt.

Wei Zhao wanted to send her away as well, but when he saw Lu Zhan looking at the woman and smiling, he decided to keep this tofu beauty.

It seems that the rumors are true, Lu Zhan really likes to take advantage of beautiful women.

Although Wei Zhao didn't understand what was so good about the tofu made by a beauty, nor did he understand why tofu was delicious, but since Lu Zhan liked it, he, as the gift giver, naturally had to respect him.

"Hmm? What's the method? Show it to me."

Lu Zhan showed an elegant and easy-going smile and looked at the woman with a leisurely smile.

The woman lowered her head with a shy expression, but her fair and delicate hands slowly unbuttoned her robe. Although her face was not pretty, the unique charm of a woman, coupled with her deliberate coquettishness, was really interesting.

Wei Zhao was sitting next to him, and his hand holding the wine glass suddenly began to tremble slightly.

Didn't you say you were going to take advantage of me? Why did you suddenly take off your clothes?

Wei Zhao was puzzled. He looked at the woman unbuttoning her clothes and turned his head away. His face was a little red. He didn't expect that this tofu beauty would act like this. She was so shameless. But Brother Lu seemed to enjoy it.

Wei Zhao clenched his fists, feeling that things were somewhat different from what he had imagined.

"Sir, please use it."

The woman picked up the tofu next to her and placed it on top, then tremblingly brought it to Lu Zhan's lips. Her face flushed and her eyes looked expectant.

Lu Zhan's smile grew wider, and he suddenly swung his hand that was placed beside him. The chopsticks flew out and pierced the woman's wrist.

"Snapped-"

The sound of the silver needle falling to the ground was almost inaudible. The woman screamed, and her charming look suddenly disappeared. Her face changed drastically, and her body turned around on the spot and quickly retreated.

"Do you really think that I am so lustful that I will fall for your trick?" Lu Zhan lifted his robe and sneered, "Putting soul-dispersing water into tofu and then tempting me to eat it is indeed a skillful method, but Madam, you use this method to deal with the Night Doctor, which is too disrespectful to the Night Doctor's profession."

Wei Zhao was suddenly startled and turned around hurriedly: "What's going on?"

"Just an assassin." Lu Zhan wiped his hands and stared at the woman opposite him. "Although the tofu seller can't be said to be weathered by the wind and rain, her hands are definitely not so delicate. Besides, the others just put the tofu down and left, but you seduced her with your sex appeal. Something must be wrong. Tell me, is it the Qi Jue Sect or the He Huan Sect?"

The woman's right arm was pierced, blood was flowing out, she bit her red lips and said, "I am a widow, it is not easy to raise a child alone, I just want to find a supporter... If you don't want to, then forget it, why do you have to do this?"

Lu Zhan sneered, turned his palm towards the ground, and the golden true qi wrapped around the ground. An extremely thin silver needle was wrapped up in the true qi and rose up.

"Are you planning to use the silver needle for fun before sleeping with me?" Lu Zhan moved his fingers slightly, and the silver needle pierced into the woman's shoulder. She groaned, unable to avoid it.

The woman did not continue to argue, but her face became even paler, her eyes were cold, but she was not afraid: "It is said that Lu Zhan of the Demon Suppression Department is lustful, and if you seduce him with sex, you will succeed, but now it seems that this is false, you just pretended to be wanton!"

"No, that's true." Lu Zhan corrected seriously: "It's just that the lady's appearance is ordinary and hard to please."

“Heh… In that case, I admit defeat.” The woman sneered, but blood suddenly flowed from the corner of her lips, and she fell straight backwards.

Lu Zhan frowned. He had been trying to prevent the other party from taking poison, and he even paid special attention to the other party's mouth. He didn't expect that the other party still hid the poison.

He hurried over to check, only to see that her abdomen was slightly bulging and had turned blue-black.

"Poison hidden in the stomach..."

Lu Zhan was a little surprised. He had seen people hiding poison in their mouths, but he had never encountered someone hiding poison in their stomach. The other party only needed to use the true Qi to catalyze the poison in the stomach and die instantly. This did give him some new insights.

"He is not from the Seven Absolute Sect..."

Lu Zhan judged that the killers from the Qi Jue Sect would not be so uncultured. This assassination method was not professional and they probably had not received any professional training.

The other party was most likely arranged by the witch of the Hehuan Sect. He had previously helped Yuan Kong track down the witch. Presumably, the witch had gotten wind of it and started to attack him.

Lu Zhan couldn't be sure, but apart from him he had no other rivals.

In order to verify his idea, he stripped off the woman's coat and saw a small laurel bell mark on her shoulder, which was the symbol of the Hehuan Sect.

It seems that the evil woman is vindictive.

"Brother Lu, what is going on?"

Wei Zhao felt a little pale when he looked at the scene, not because he had never seen blood before, but he did not expect such a scene. He was the one who found this Tofu Beauty, and he did not sense her cultivation aura when he found her. Who would have thought that she would actually assassinate Lu Zhan.

If something happened to Lu Zhan, wouldn't it all be Wei Zhao's fault?

"Brother Wei, don't worry. Someone wanted to kill me and took the opportunity to sneak in."

Lu Zhan still has some brains. This matter definitely has nothing to do with Wei Zhao. If Wei Zhao really wanted to target him, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.

Although the news of his duel with Wei Zhao spread throughout Jinling, it happened today. The other party must have heard the news, noticed Wei Zhao's whereabouts, made a temporary decision, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, so his plan was not thorough.

"Heh..." Wei Zhao sneered, his face cold and indifferent: "Who is so bold as to attack the Demon Suppression Bureau? He is so bold, Brother Lu, have you informed the bureau?"

"Someone from the Hehuan Sect." Lu Zhan stared at the corpse of the woman, flaring his nose slightly. A faint fragrance came to him. He said thoughtfully, "If necessary, I will report back to the department. Brother Wei, please help deal with this corpse. I have something to verify."

After saying this, without waiting for Wei Zhao to speak, Lu Zhan's figure disappeared from the spot.

Wei Zhao looked at the woman lying on the ground with an embarrassed look on his face. He half-closed his eyes and tore off the woman's clothes before calling the people from Mu Shi Lou.

……

It is summer, and the Wangyue Lake is rippling with green waves. Dark green lotus leaves spread on the water surface. Graceful lotus flowers leap out from the layers of lotus leaves, looking gorgeous in the golden sunlight.

There are pleasure boats sailing in the clear water, with singing and dancing, birds chirping, creating a unique scene.

Lu Zhan brought a dozen demon-suppressing masters and went straight to Huamanlou along Wangyue Lake. He asked the demon-suppressing masters to guard the surroundings while he walked into Huamanlou.

"Miss Bai Jie's singing voice is still so moving."

"Although Miss Bai Jie is good, she is just like that after seeing her many times. She is not as good as the new courtesan who came recently. Her dancing is truly graceful and unparalleled. It makes people feel the grace of an exotic beauty."

Huamanlou is not as lively during the day as at night, but there are still many scholars and writers inside.

The lotus fragrance of Wangyue Lake blew in with the summer breeze, making the girls' clothes flutter and dance gracefully, intoxicating the tourists and making them linger on.

"Master Lu is here?"

A mature woman in red clothes came over waving a round fan. It was Aunt Hua, the madam of Hua Manlou.

Auntie Hua fanned Lu Zhan affectionately, her soft body leaning towards him, she smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, "Nowadays, Master rarely comes to our Hua Man Lou. Even when a girl in our building claimed to be sick and wanted Master to take care of her, Master didn't show up, but instead sent a wooden man to come."

Lu Zhan frowned: "Pretending to be sick and wasting public resources will result in a beating."

"Look at what you said, sir. I'm afraid all the girls in the building will be sad." Aunt Hua pretended to be sad, pointed her fan forward, and said, "Whether you are pretending to be sick, sir, you can ask that little wooden boy."

The man called Mu Tou came out carrying a medicine box, covering his face as he walked to avoid the girls who were winking at him.

Lu Zhan’s eye twitched.

No wonder I didn’t meet Zhuge Chen in the competition today. He actually came to Huamanlou to subdue demons.

"Brother Zhuge?" Lu Zhan blocked his way.

Zhuge Chen paused, a little surprised: "Why did Brother Lu come here?"

Lu Zhan didn't say anything, but just smiled meaningfully.

Zhuge Chen hurriedly explained: "I am here to exorcise the evil spirits for the girls. Originally, one girl was haunted by a little ghost, but now everything is settled."

At this point, Zhuge Chen lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lu, please leave quickly. This place is full of ruthless people. It's easy to make you and me lose our spiritual integrity."

Seeing that he was serious, Lu Zhan teased him, "Brother Zhuge, you are old, how can you call a girl a rosy skeleton? Have you never tasted meat before? Is there a girl you like in this building? I will invite her."

"I... I didn't." Zhuge Chen blushed and bowed hurriedly: "Goodbye, I won't disturb Brother Lu's leisure."

Looking at his back, Lu Zhan laughed. Zhuge Chen and Xie Chunyan were completely two extremes.

Zhuge Chen was not greedy for beauty, and he was more than qualified to practice Buddhism, but Xie Chunyan was too greedy for beauty, and it was a "blessing" to have these two talented men under his wing.

"I knew that the Master would not forget us." Aunt Hua saw that Lu Zhan had not left, and her plump body came closer: "Which girl does the Master want to find? I will call someone over right away."

Lu Zhan raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his lips: "A new exotic courtesan."

"She..." Aunt Hua's smile froze slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Sir, Miss Xiuyu sells her art but not her body."

Lu Zhan stared at the charming woman in front of him, with a smile on his face, but his tone did not allow for rejection: "What if I say that it must be her?"

Aunt Hua tightened her grip on the fan slightly. She read danger in the man's eyes and made a decision in an instant: "If it were anyone else, Miss Xiuyu would not agree, but if it were an adult... I think Miss Xiuyu would be okay with it."

Hua Manlou was able to become so successful in Jinling, so he must have some backing.

If Lu Zhan was just an ordinary captain of the small town demon department, Aunt Hua would naturally not allow him to break the rules of Hua Manlou.

But he is not like that. Everyone knows that he is highly regarded. Even the current princess, who sits high on the lotus platform and is untainted by the dust of the world, favors him. It may not be a big deal to offend him now, but there is no guarantee that there will be no trouble in the future.

After all, she is just a new courtesan, and it is still unknown whether she can continue to be popular. If she can please Lu Zhan and get him to write a poem for her, she can use the opportunity to hype up her wealth.

"My Lord, please go to Mingyue Tower and rest for a while. I will let Miss Xiuyu go and take a bath and change clothes."

After calculating the pros and cons, Aunt Hua bowed and left.

The little maid next to him led Lu Zhan to Mingyue Tower.

Mingyue Tower is the residence of Miss Xiuyu. The environment is quiet and fragrant. Because of the hot weather, several lotus pots are placed under the corridor, which is very pleasant when the wind blows.

"Sir, please go in and wait for a moment. Miss Xiuyu will be here soon."

The little maid took her to the place and then left leisurely.

Lu Zhan pushed open the door, and a faint fragrance hit him in the face. This fragrance was made from special flowers and trees, and it was very arousing. However, it was very expensive, and only the courtesan in Hua Man Lou could use it. It was exactly the same as the smell of the tofu killer.

When Lu Zhan smelled this scent on the killer, he thought of Hua Manlou.

He had visited many brothels and even lived in Hongyuan Street. Every day when he went to work, he would smell all kinds of perfume, but he had only smelled this scent in Huamanlou.

However, the killer was plain in appearance and should not be a prostitute in Hua Manlou. He had been in and out of Hua Manlou seven times but had never seen her face. Even if she was a prostitute, she was an unknown character.

But the fact that the other person has this fragrance on him means that he has had contact with the courtesan of Hua Manlou, and the contact time was quite long.

There are not many courtesans in Hua Manlou who can use this fragrance. In the past, there was only one, Bai Jie, but Bai Jie was an ordinary person.

Lu Zhan naturally locked onto this new exotic courtesan.

Yuan Kong has been investigating the affairs of the Hehuan Sect. Now that Yuan Kong is not in Jinling, Lu Zhan has no clues. He thought he had to wait until Yuan Kong comes back, but he didn't expect that he now has new clues. Naturally, he cannot give up.

Although I can't guarantee that the judgment is 100% accurate, there's no risk of getting pregnant by trying.

Lu Zhan stepped into the boudoir, which was exquisitely decorated with delicate flower and bird screens and mahogany tables and chairs. There were several gorgeous potted crabapples on the coffee table in front of the window, and next to it was a beautiful dressing table.

Walking around the soft red gauze curtain, there was a big soft bed inside. Lu Zhan looked around the room with a smile that only a modest gentleman could show, elegant and easy-going.

"Xiuyu...Ranyue...I hope you two are really the same person."

Lu Zhan sat on the couch waiting for the beauty to come over. As long as he saw her face, he could confirm her identity. Even if she was in disguise, she could not escape Ye Yi's eyes.

If it was really Ramadan, things would be easier. He was already calculating the bargaining chips in his heart, making the other party willing to be used by him and become his accomplice.

Being in the officialdom, having a man who is good at sex is indeed a powerful weapon.

As for whether the courtesan would come? Lu Zhan was not worried. With so many demon-suppressing masters guarding outside, the courtesan had no way to escape. Today, she could not escape, so she could only come to the door obediently.

“Crunch—”

The sound of the door opening interrupted Lu Zhan's thoughts. He looked up and saw the red gauze dancing in the breeze. A beautiful figure was looming outside the gauze curtain.

She came barefoot, and the bells on her ankles rang crisply with her steps. When she walked out of the red gauze tent, she did not continue walking forward, but bowed.

"Your servant Xiu Yu greets Lord Lu..."

The clear and charming voice is like the drizzle in spring, soft and gentle, with an intoxicating charm.

Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes. This voice was carefully crafted and carefully crafted. Even if one didn't see the face, the voice was enough to make people think of something else.
