"Master, youâre incredible, Iâve already had my fill,"
Inadvertently, Zui Rao licked her bright red lips.
"Ahem..."
Zhang Yuan suppressed the impulse in his heart. These days, even though he is an Immortal-Grade Martial Artist, he truly feels a bit overwhelmed.
Especially with Zui Raoâs inadvertent gestures and smiles, which could always ignite his fire.
"Whatâs wrong, Master? Is your chest uncomfortable? Let me massage it for you,"
As she spoke, Zui Raoâs fair hand began to knead and press his chest.
Feeling the slight coolness transmitted from her jade-like hand.
Zhang Yuan felt the fire he had just suppressed suddenly rise again.
"Itâs fine! Iâm alright now,"
Unavoidably, he removed her hand and then prepared to get up.
He truly couldnât continue this game and also dared not stay with her any longer.
But Zui Rao wasnât willing to let him go so easily.
Acting coquettishly, "Itâs already dark, do you still have to leave, Master? Iâm afraid of the dark..."
With a delicate appearance, her eyes brimming with tears, she looked at Zhang Yuanâs movement to rise and involuntarily lay back down again.
"Be good, I still have matters to attend to, Iâll come back to accompany you when Iâm done,"
Zhang Yuan pinched her chin and coaxed.
"Hmph! Itâs always like this!"
Zui Rao pouted, turned her back, not speaking, nor looking at him.
"How about this, Master will fulfill a wish of yours, you can have anything you want,"
Zhang Yuan turned her body back, "Does this make you happy?"
But, Zui Rao shook her head and softly said,
"I know, because I was sent to you by the Meng Family, you think Iâm here to work for them, to have some plot."
"But all I wish for is to serve you well, I donât want anything else."
With that, she nestled into his arms.
At that moment, Zhang Yuanâs old heart seemed to melt.
Though he was a frequent visitor to brothels, where all those women were only heart-set on emptying his pockets.
If he werenât a White-Robed Immortal Grade... there would be a handful of them in Moran City.
It wouldnât mean much.
"Alright, alright, I wonât leave today, you can just serve Master well in the future,"
Zhang Yuan held her in his embrace, "Although you claim not to desire anything, youâve been dedicated these days, a reward is deserved for you."
"Master... I already said I donât want anything,"
It must be said, Zui Rao played this very well.
She was hand-picked and sent to Zhang Yuan by the Meng Family, obviously for a spot in the Three Judicial Departments.
But speaking of such matters directly would only cause disdain.
Just like a few days ago, after Zhang Yuan had favored a woman, she immediately asked for a spot.
This immediately enraged Zhang Yuan, and he directly kicked her out of Zhang Mansion.
In her eyes, that woman was too foolish.
Impatiently, did she really think that spending one night would mean anything?
With Zhang Yuanâs current status, the last thing he needs is women.
The Meng Family surely wants a spot in the Three Judicial Departments, but they mustnât mention it.
Even if itâs not given this time, as long as she can keep Zhang Yuan infatuated with her, wouldnât there be benefits in the future?
"Really donât want anything?"
Zhang Yuan was quite surprised, heâs not a fool, he knows what these women are after.
However...
"No, I said no, so no, I donât want anything,"
Zui Raoâs tone was very firm.
Zhang Yuan even felt a bit bewildered.
Zui Rao rested her cheek on his chest, nuzzling, "Iâm now part of the Zhang Mansion, not the Meng Family."
"My heart is solely for you, Master."
"Good, good, good..."
Zhang Yuan was immediately touched, repeating the word âgoodâ thrice.
Whether genuine or not, he felt good at that moment, at least on the surface.
"Relax now,"
Today, he didnât plan to leave, holding Zui Rao a bit tighter.
And Zui Rao obediently started gently patting him.
Before long, the room filled with soft snores.
Only then did Zui Rao slowly close her eyes.
"It should be about enough now?"
....
Several days later.
In the main hall of the Three Judicial Departments.
Zhang Yuan handed the organized recruitment list to Ye Jinghong, "Sir, this is the personnel list drafted by your subordinate, please review it."
Upon saying this, he respectfully stood aside.
Ye Jinghong glanced casually at it, each name had details about their backgrounds, which family they hailed from.
About a hundred or so.
Yet, he noticed an issue.
There were seven or eight from the Meng Family.
But he didnât expose it.
He was too lazy to manage.
Handing back the list, he instructed, "Proceed according to this."
Zhang Yuan respectfully received it with both hands, "Yes, Sir."
Then he took out another list from his bosom, saying, "This is the list of gifts sent by the families of Moran City, Sir. I will send them all to the Three Judicial Departments afterward."
"Moreover, the Meng familyâs gifts exceeded those from the other families considerably, hence, I granted them a few additional spots."
Zhang Yuan explained deferentially.
Surely, these names on the recruitment list were clearly marked, Ye Jinghong certainly noticed but he didnât mention it, perhaps he was indifferent to these matters.
However, Zhang Yuan had to clarify.
It was also a chance to show his loyalty to Ye Jinghong.
Sure enough, a slight smile appeared on Ye Jinghongâs face.
He was very satisfied with Zhang Yuan now.
"Now it seems, coming to the rMolan Mansion wasnât a bad thing."
Ye Jinghong murmured in his heart.
Then he said to Zhang Yuan, "Keep a tenth for yourself, the rest send to the Three Judicial Departments."
"Thank you, Sir,"
Zhang Yuan immediately knelt on one knee in gratitude.
A tenth seemed small, but considering the colossal wealth from all the major families in Moran City combined, this portion was enough to surpass ninety-nine percent of Moran Cityâs people.
After handing over this list of gifts, he never expected Ye Jinghong to be so generous.
