People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Cao Ze looked around, but there was no one there.

Only the cicadas chirped from time to time.

Cao Ze suddenly remembered something and hurriedly searched his body.

"Where's the stone slab...?"

Cao Ze stood in the dark mountain forest, somewhat bewildered.

He was clearly holding onto the stone slab the whole time.

With his grip strength, even if a tiger or leopard tries to take something from him, he can hold on firmly.

But even so, it still disappeared.

"Cao Ze!"

The excited screams caught Cao Ze's attention.

He turned his head and saw a beautiful woman with a seductive figure, dressed in a purple fishtail palace dress, rushing towards him.

"Cao Ze! It really is you! Thank goodness! You scared me to death!"

Madam Mingzhu gripped Cao Ze's shoulders, almost bursting into tears of joy.

She was terrified when she discovered that this was not Feng Hou's Tomb and that her aunt was not there.

But unexpectedly, after taking only a few steps, the situation took a turn for the better, and he met Cao Ze!

Cao Ze coughed lightly and glanced around a few times.

I never expected that the first person I would encounter would be Madam Mingzhu. It would have been even better if it were Jingni.

Lady Mingzhu was unaware that Cao Ze's expression was somewhat off. She excitedly asked, "Where is this? Have you seen my aunt?"

Cao Ze shook his head. "I don't know where this is either. As for your aunt, I haven't seen her."

Madam Mingzhu said "Oh," and looked down at the naked Cao Ze.

She couldn't help but whisper a mocking laugh at Cao Ze.

"Looks like it's been a while since you've been with a woman. Hehe, that's rare."

It was only then that Cao Ze felt a chill in a certain place and realized that the outer robe worn by Consort Ya, which he had always kept tied around his waist, was gone.

"Sigh~"

Cao Ze took a deep breath.

He ignored Madam Mingzhu's teasing.

Instead, they were extremely relieved that they hadn't been teleported to the bustling city by Feng Hou's Tomb.

If it were daytime, under the clear blue sky, under the watchful eyes of the people, his lifelong reputation, his lifelong innocence...

Wouldn't we become a laughing stock among the seven kingdoms?

When Madam Mingzhu saw Cao Ze like this, she was not embarrassed at all. On the contrary, she enthusiastically stretched out her cool, fair hand.

"Sigh~"

Cao Ze gasped for the second time.

To think that a grown man like him would be harassed by a woman in the dead of night!

This is intolerable!

If he doesn't do something, wouldn't he be standing tall and exposed for nothing?

Of course, these were just fleeting thoughts that crossed Cao Ze's mind.

Now in an unknown place, Jing Ni and the others have no idea where they are.

He has no time to mess around with Madam Mingzhu.

"Stop fooling around!"

Cao Ze held Madam Mingzhu's arm, his face serious, suppressing his burgeoning desires, and took a step back.

Lady Mingzhu glanced at Cao Ze's towering figure and curled her lip.

"You can tolerate this?"

It seemed like he was dissatisfied, yet also like he was deliberately provoking someone.

Madam Mingzhu suddenly smiled, looking absolutely stunning.

Faced with such a direct approach from Madam Mingzhu, Cao Ze gasped for the third time.

He felt deeply ashamed and uneasy, believing he had committed an unforgivable sin against global warming and needed to immediately stop his criminal behavior.

But he had already been put on the spot by Madam Mingzhu, and the arrow was on the bowstring, so he had no choice but to release it.

Perhaps it's a cup of tea, perhaps it's a moment.

In short, Cao Ze felt that time was passing both exceptionally long and exceptionally fast.

After finishing her meal, Madam Mingzhu looked up at Cao Ze with her beautiful face.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, radiating passion, and she was extremely charming.

This made Cao Ze's mouth water, but he was helpless.

Under normal circumstances, he would have given Madam Mingzhu a good lesson on how to be a person and how to be a woman.

Let her understand what it means to be a woman and not play with fire!

Cao Ze put on his grass skirt, which he had woven from tree branches, leaves and weeds, and set off with Madam Mingzhu.

It can be confirmed that this is still Xuannv Peak.

I just don't know where it is.

"Haven't you always wanted to have sex in the field? I gave you the chance, but you still couldn't do it."

Madam Mingzhu placed her slender finger to her lips, seemingly still savoring the delicious food she had just enjoyed.

Cao Ze snorted, "If you're so capable, let's find an inn and practice our skills later?"

"If I can't keep you in bed for three days and three nights, I'll change my surname to yours!"

He wouldn't fall for Madam Mingzhu's tricks.

Who knows what might happen if we have sex in the wild at this time?

Madam Mingzhu's inappropriate dining behavior just now was already the limit of what he could tolerate.

However, after being manipulated by Madam Mingzhu, he lost interest in controlling her.

Of course, the main reason was that Lady Myungju, who had left the Han royal palace, was no longer of much value and not worth his time.

"Hehe..." Madam Mingzhu looked at Cao Ze with seductive eyes and chuckled, "That won't do. I'd like others to call me Madam Cao."

Cao Ze suddenly stopped, and seeing that Madam Mingzhu didn't seem to be joking, his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

What do you want to do?

Madam Mingzhu's beautiful face was completely indifferent. "Of course I'll marry you. What else could I possibly want?"

Cao Ze rolled his eyes. "I advise you to know your place, or Jing Ni will chop you into eight pieces, and don't call me for help."

Lady Mingzhu was not afraid of Cao Ze's threats at all.

"It's okay, I have my aunt, she'll back me up!"

Immediately, Lady Mingzhu said ambiguously, "Would you like your aunt to marry you with me? Not only will you have me, the Lady of Korea, but you'll also have your aunt, a marquis renowned throughout seven kingdoms. You'll be hitting the jackpot."

Cao Ze swallowed hard; this was truly a test of his willpower.

"Alright, you little devil..."

Cao Ze was somewhat helpless in the face of the infatuated Lady Mingzhu.

The current Lady Mingzhu is almost completely different from the Lady Mingzhu before entering the tomb. It's as if she's been possessed and has become a different person.

Even though he had broken free of her control and regained his freedom, she still clung to him like she had before, making him want to scratch his head.

Madam Mingzhu smiled slyly, "You're very interested, then it's settled."

"When we return to Qin, you will marry me and my aunt."

Cao Ze almost stumbled. He was about to argue, but realizing that he would only make things worse, he simply kept quiet.

Madam Mingzhu was a little displeased that Cao Ze remained silent.

But she hid her emotions well and said nonchalantly, "Let's go pick those three Vermilion Fruits first, so that Tianze and the others don't get them."

Cao Ze did not refuse. It was not far from where Zhu Guo was, and there were cliffs there with a wide view. Maybe he could find Jing Ni and the others.

Furthermore, he wanted to go back to the cave with the ancient relief carvings to see if the object that seemed to be a "spirit stone" was still there and if it could still be brought into Feng Hou's tomb.

Cao Ze and Madam Mingzhu walked through the mountains and forests, through tree holes, and finally arrived at the spring.

The small tree of red fruit in the middle of the spring was now wilting, its green leaves beginning to turn yellow, and even the once fresh red fruit had become dull in the moonlight.

"what happened?"

Lady Mingzhu looked at the little Zhuguo tree with some heartache. She had been thinking of transplanting it, but seeing its half-dead state now made her give up the idea.

"The scarce energy in the spring is gone."

Cao Ze sensed the disturbance and guessed it might be related to the activity at Feng Hou's Tomb.

"You'd better pick those fruits quickly, or you might die after tonight."

This is a plant's instinct.

When a small tree withering and dying faces the crisis of a dead fruit tree, it will definitely prioritize sacrificing its fruit and leaves to maintain its life.

Just like humans in years of great natural disasters such as droughts and floods—people resorted to cannibalism.

Lady Mingzhu dared not delay any longer and quickly picked three red fruits, each the size of a cherry tomato.

The moment it was picked, the red fruit turned black.

It's so bad that it makes people feel disgusted at first glance.

"How do you plan to use it?"
