Before entering the secret passage, Luo Xin glanced around the study and saw nothing unusual, but he still felt a chill down his spine.

It was as if something was watching them.

Never mind, he must have been overly cautious.

This is his prefectural residence, as impregnable as a fortress. The servants in the residence have all been carefully selected and are basically his people.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Thinking this, Luo Xinkai quickly walked through the secret passage inlaid with luminous pearls, and after many twists and turns, arrived at a secluded mountain villa.

The villa here is decorated with dragon and phoenix carvings, and is adorned with gold and jade everywhere, exuding wealth and wanting to show off its riches to the world.

The servants guarding outside the room saw Luo Xinkai immediately and greeted him with smiles.

“Prefect, what brings you to the manor today? My master is here at the manor, so you’ve come at just the right time.”

Luo Xinkai nodded slightly. "I have something to discuss with your master. Please take me to see him."

"Alright, Prefect, this way please. My master is currently indulging in the fragrance of a maiden. With your participation, he might enjoy it even more."

Magistrate Luo and his master are birds of a feather, and they usually have a lot of fun.

It's just having fun together, which happens all the time, and sometimes... well, he's embarrassed to even mention it.

ㄟ(▔ ,▔)ㄏ

Luo Xinkai's lips curled slightly, his tone tinged with regret, "It's a pity that I'm not here to enjoy myself today, so I guess we won't be able to have any fun together."

"Oh? That's indeed a pity."

While replying, the subordinate led Luo Xinkai to a hot spring courtyard and said with a smile, "Lord Luo, please make yourself at home. I'll take my leave now."

Luo Xin nodded, his dark gaze sweeping over the men and women in the hot spring pool. Their voices could be heard from a great distance.

One man and three women!

How delightful!

Zhang Chengzong is so old, isn't he afraid of hurting his back? Tsk tsk, he's just as good as his lecherous and good-for-nothing son.

"Ahem." Luo Xinkai coughed lightly, trying to get the four people's attention.

In the past, he might have joined in and enjoyed it, but today, he had important matters to discuss and wasn't in the mood for that.

Unfortunately, the four people in the pool seemed to be deaf and didn't notice his arrival at all.

Luo Xinkai's face was gloomy. He could only walk quickly to the hot spring pool and stare at the four people with his naked eyes.

The four people in the pool were startled by his scrutiny and turned to look at him. They relaxed when they saw that it was an old acquaintance.

Zhang Chengzong looked displeased, gave a heavy snort, and glared at Luo Xinkai. "Brother Luo, either come along or leave. Don't spoil our fun."

The three beautiful women in the hot spring pool exchanged glances, then immediately smiled and swam to where Zhang Chengzong was standing.

They stretched out their hands, each displaying their unique abilities.

"Oh dear, isn't this Prefect? ​​I haven't seen you for days! I've missed you so much!"

"My lord, I love your mighty and domineering presence! Come on, let's fight!"

"My lord~~ The weather's great today, a perfect day for a fight, come on~~ Don't miss this wonderful day~~"

"..."

The three women chatted away, one after another, making Luo Xinkai feel like his bones were melting.

In particular, they deliberately flaunted their delicate and fair skin, displaying their alluring and seductive methods to the fullest extent.

After some internal struggle.

Luo Xinkai demonstrated his inability to resist the allure of beauty by quickly removing his robes and sinking into the hot spring pool.

Zhang Chengzong, standing to the side, smirked and clapped his hands, saying, "Brother Luo, that's more like it! We men should enjoy ourselves when it's time to enjoy ourselves, and we should never wrong ourselves."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Luo Xinkai laughed heartily, with one arm around a woman. "Brother Zhang, you're right. I'm not as open-minded as you."

Zhang Chengzong's eyes were arrogant and smug.

Whether you can accept it or not depends on how you live your life. I lived a life of grievances in the first half of my life, and I secretly vowed never to wrong myself again. Whether it's gold and silver treasures, or power and beauty, I want them all.

Luo Xinkai gave a thumbs-up and praised, "Brother Zhang, you have great courage. I will have to rely on you for guidance and support in the future."

Zhang Chengzong's expression grew increasingly smug, and he waved his hand magnanimously, "No problem, no problem. You are my closest friend. I would never forget you, no matter who else I forget."

Besides, we have mutual interests involved; we're in the same boat. If you're doing well, I'm doing well, and we're all in the same boat!

Luo Xinkai's eyes darkened slightly. He didn't want to continue discussing this topic, and he didn't want to admit that he was dependent on Zhang Chengzong and had to be inferior to him in every way.

After offering a few compliments with a smile, he quickly changed the subject, "Brother Zhang, with a beauty in your arms, don't waste this precious time. Please make yourself at home."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhang Chengzong laughed with disdain, "Zeze, Brother Luo, you're too impatient. Fine, do whatever you want, I can't wait any longer."

After saying that, Zhang Chengzong swam to the side with the beauty in his arms...???

Luo Xinkai: "..." Ha, who do you think you are?

A man's dignity dictates that he will never allow the other person to be stronger than him.

As a result, the two sides engaged in fierce fighting, which escalated into a deadly battle.

…………

Inside the space, Sheng Lingwei blurred the image with a disgusted expression.

I felt incredibly relieved; thankfully, she came alone today. The sight was truly...

It's so disgusting!

...

After some leisurely activities, Luo Xinkai and Zhang Chengzong were so exhausted that they lay back in their chairs, panting heavily, their faces pale.

It's obvious that she's been drained of her body by beauty.

Three beautiful women lowered their eyes and gently massaged the shoulders and backs of the two men, occasionally exchanging glances when they weren't paying attention.

Tch, useless trash. If it weren't for their wealth and power, they wouldn't bother serving them.

They're all so old, don't they have any self-awareness about whether they're capable or not?

After resting, Luo Xinkai waved to the three women, "You may leave now. Brother Zhang and I have important matters to discuss."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The three women were thrilled, finally free from serving the two good-for-nothings. They quickly stood up, dressed, and left the hot spring courtyard.

Seeing Luo Xinkai's serious expression, Zhang Chengzong frowned. "Brother Luo, what makes you so serious? Have you encountered some difficulties?"

Luo Xinkai sighed and nodded, "Brother Zhang, the plan to burn down Gancao County has failed."

"What? The plan failed?"

Zhang Chengzong was shocked and sat up abruptly, staring intently at Luo Xinkai. "What exactly happened? Why are you only telling me now?"

Luo Xinkai: "..." Why?

It's all because I was bewitched by the woman you carefully selected. I wouldn't have been so easily seduced by any other woman.
