Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game

She bent down to pick up dry branches and carefully piled them into a small bonfire. She lightly touched the tinder and the flames rose instantly, licking the naked pheasant happily.

The various seasonings purchased on the way came in handy at this time. Su Rao brushed layer upon layer of secret sauce on the chicken from time to time, filling the air with an enticing meaty aroma.

Although Fang Mo and the two Jinyiwei remained calm on the surface, their inner impatience and confusion grew stronger.

They began to wonder if this seemingly delicate woman was really playing tricks on them in this way?

I thought I was helping her find some important person, but unexpectedly, it was more like accompanying her on an outdoor picnic!

Fang Mo's fingers gently slid across the cold Xiuchun Knife. These days were peaceful and without war, and even the weapons he usually used had lost some of their sharpness.

His gaze inadvertently slid down to Su Rao's white and delicate neck.

Su Rao felt a slight cool breeze blowing across her neck. She subconsciously stroked it with her hand, and then focused on the work at hand.

In fact, her skill in roasting chicken originated from the unpleasant days in her previous life.

At that time, she and Shen Jinghong suffered misfortune and were captured by bandits. After escaping, they wandered in the mountains for several months, eating wild fruits and captured pheasants every day to fill their stomachs.

During those days, she took care of almost everything, from finding food to cooking food, while Shen Jinghong was leisurely and only responsible for enjoying the fruits of her labor.

Recalling the past, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why was she so obsessed with Shen Jinghong at that time and willing to give everything for him? She was simply stupid to the extreme!

As time goes by, the aroma of the pheasant becomes more and more rich, making people salivate.

Fang Mo, who was sharpening his Xiuchun Knife, stopped unconsciously as his eyes were deeply attracted by the golden and shiny roast chicken.

The other two Jinyiwei could no longer conceal their inner desire and swallowed their saliva quietly.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. Fang Mo's whole body tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy, and his eyes were fixed in a certain direction.

At some point, a man in snow-white clothes appeared quietly. His hair was lightly tied up with silver thread. His face was handsome and had a beauty that transcended gender. He was so beautiful that it was breathtaking. The surrounding scenery seemed to be eclipsed by his presence.

Different from Su Rao's bewitching charm, the beauty of the person in front of him was a kind of otherworldly coldness that could make those prodigals wandering in the world of pleasure turn back, make those suave and dashing men feel remorseful, and make anyone who wanted to easily desecrate this beauty feel awe and retreat.

Such a person, just one glance is enough to make people admire him and dare not act rashly.

In a flash, the mysterious figure approached silently, and the elongated shadow under the moonlight jumped on the stone floor, carrying an indescribable sense of weirdness.

The two guards dressed in gorgeous brocade robes were stunned, with astonishment and confusion in their eyes, as if they were nailed to the spot by some invisible force.

Only Fang Mo was sensitive to the strange fluctuations in the air. His fingers unconsciously clasped the sharp Xiuchun Knife at his waist. His tense nerves caused a barely perceptible blush to appear at the base of his ears.

"Xiang..." The voice was low and hoarse, unexpectedly pleasant to the ears, but it was clearly a man's unique steady voice, with a hint of indescribable charm that made people's hearts tremble slightly.

The two Jinyiwei looked at each other in silence, with surprise and confusion written all over their faces.

Fang Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and the same surprise appeared between his brows. He seemed to be weighing something in his mind, his eyes were sharp and deep.

Su Rao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the suppressed tension in her chest relaxed slightly with this sudden episode.

Fortunately, this master with eccentric behavior and elusive whereabouts, even after two reincarnations, still loves food as much as before.

He is none other than the legendary Gu Master Bai Ze, a strange man with a unique hobby who likes to dress up as a woman.

Bai Ze extended his hand gracefully, with a clear target, pointing directly at the golden and tempting roast chicken in Su Rao's palm that exuded an alluring aroma.

"Senior, there is no free lunch in the world. If you want this delicious roast chicken, you have to do me a small favor first." Su Rao retreated to advance and started a subtle negotiation with Bai Ze.

Bai Ze's eyes were deep and calm, and he asked softly, "What do you need my help with?"

"Plant a Heart-to-Heart Gu to save lives." Su Rao's voice was clear and firm, and her words were concise and to the point.

Fang Mo stared at Bai Ze from the side. Although his face maintained a stern line, a hint of nervousness and anticipation could not be concealed in his sharp eyes.

He knew what Bai Ze's ability meant, and this might be the lifeblood of his younger sister Fang Yuan.

Bai Ze calmly took out an exquisite small bottle from his wide sleeves, and gently tilted the mouth of the bottle. Dozens of crystal clear objects shaped like insect eggs slipped into his palm.

He examined it carefully with an almost pious attitude, and finally selected a poison egg that was shaped like a small gourd.

"In exchange, I want to enjoy roast chicken for a month." Bai Ze's voice was slow, but it revealed that there was no room for negotiation.

Su Rao agreed readily, laughing crisply: "It's a deal."

After taking the roast chicken, Bai Ze displayed an extraordinary eating posture. Every bite was so elegant and calm, as if he was not tasting earthly food but delicacies from mountains and seas, which shocked the two Jinyiwei beside him again.

They secretly smiled bitterly in their hearts, thinking how good it would be if this mysterious person could remain silent...

Although Bai Ze's eating style was elegant, his speed was surprisingly fast and neat. In a few moments, the originally plump roast chicken was reduced to a clean, bare skeleton.

Afterwards, the three of them climbed the mountain together, but came down with the four of them in their hearts.

When they parted, Fang Mo whispered to Su Rao: "Don't tell Ah Yi about the Tong Xin Gu, lest she worry."

Su Rao looked at her brother’s eyes which were full of love and care.

He was willing to share half of his life with her, but chose to bear this heavy burden alone, just because he was afraid of adding the slightest burden to her heart.

Such a considerate brother made Su Rao recall the warmth of her previous life.

She nodded vigorously.

Su Rao stepped lightly out of the carriage. In the night wind, not far away, the carriage of the prince's mansion was waiting quietly, while the carriage they were riding in turned around and galloped towards the Fang Mansion.

Through a remote little door, Fang Mo led Bai Ze straight to Fang Yuan's residence.

Pushing open the door, the room was dim. Fang Yuan was lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, her breath barely visible, as if she could be taken away by death at any time. The boundary between life and death became blurred on her body.

The illness was like an invisible chain that tightly bound her soul. Living was a torture for her, and death seemed to be the only relief.
