Fairy, please don't do this!

"I'm jealous!" An Wanxi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, lifted her wisteria-patterned high heel and stomped on it hard: "The high heels were clearly made for me by my husband, but this big white goose not only put them on before me, but also used them to seduce you."

Gu Jinzhao's body stiffened slightly, and he quickly grabbed her delicate, thin-silk-clad leg to stop her from doing anything reckless: "So, my wife wants to take advantage of the situation and make a move based on the fire started by Yuechu'e?"

"I am the wife of my young husband, the head wife who takes care of the family."

"There are some things she can only do with my permission!"

An Wan huffed in slight dissatisfaction.

As he spoke, he gently flipped his palm.

A pair of jade-colored silk stockings appeared out of thin air, gently brushing across Gu Jinzhao's cheek, carrying a faint, delicate fragrance.

Gu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow: "The scent on these ice silk stockings is somewhat similar to..."

"You guessed right, it was worn by your Aunt Ruo!"

A mischievous glint flashed in An Wanxi's eyes. She couldn't help but spread her soft hands, put her five fingers together, and slowly slipped them into the jade-colored ice silk stockings.

The stockings smoothly wrapped around her slender fingers, the back of her hands, her wrists, and down to the middle of her forearms.

The silk, as thin as a cicada's wing, made the skin and nails on her hands appear hazy and crystalline, yet the tightness and luster of the stockings gave them a smooth, enveloping beauty.

Gu Jinchao subconsciously said, "Didn't I put Aunt Ruo's pair of shoes into the [Earthly Branch Mirror]?"

When he left Qingzhou, Si Ruoyu, fearing that his yang-fire syndrome would relapse, gave him a pair of ice silk stockings imbued with yin energy.

However, it has always been sealed in a brocade box and has never been used!

An Wanxi smiled charmingly, her slender hand caressing his chest, her fingertips tracing circles on it: "Actually, there are two pairs of ice silk stockings in the brocade box."

"I suppose your Aunt Ruo thinks that your young husband is still young and hot-blooded, and one pair might not be enough~"

The rustling sound of stockings against her clothes, mixed with her mature and delicate fragrance and the original smoky smell of the kitchen, created an indescribable, enchanting, and ambiguous atmosphere.

Gu Jinzhao's mouth went dry from being teased: "You took a pair?"

He remembered that An Wanxi opened the brocade box first that day and then handed it to him, but there was only a pair of ice silk stockings inside.

In other words, one of the pairs was taken by the ghost wife.

An Wanxi opened her soft hand and grasped it directly: "My little husband guessed right, this is your reward~"

Gu Jinchao's mind conjured up the image of Aunt Ruo's beautiful and gentle face, and recalling the intimate moments they had shared a bed, his breathing suddenly became rapid.

But he quickly suppressed these inappropriate thoughts: "Wife, don't be silly."

It's obvious that the ghost wife wants to use this to corrupt his filial piety!

"I'm not being silly!" An Wanxi's long eyelashes narrowed slightly as she looked at him with seductive eyes: "Anyway, it's just sitting there, and my little husband doesn't use it. Isn't this a waste of your Aunt Ruo's good intentions?"

Gu Jinzhao wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason.

After all, Aunt Ruo's original intention in giving these ice silk stockings was because of the illness of yang energy turning into fire.

"Wouldn't that be better?"

"It can both blend with the true yang fire to help you cultivate the True Yang Sword Technique, and also help me condense the Dragon Heart Seal. It's truly killing two birds with one stone!"

At this moment, An Wanxi tied up her long hair and slid down from the stove.

Then, to Gu Jinchao's astonishment, he saw the eight-foot-tall ghost bride sitting with her knees bent.

The wisteria-patterned high heels slipped down from her ankles, revealing her fair, delicate heels covered in thin silk, with her full buttocks pressing against them.

Then, she raised her beautiful, enchanting face, her peach blossom eyes, full of spring-like allure, and looked at him: "Please, my little husband, help me with my cultivation!"

"Wife, you..."

Gu Jinzhao wanted to say something, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

The kitchen fell into complete silence; you could hear a pin drop.

The medicinal cuisine continued to simmer over a low flame.

Gu Jinzhao was as tense as a wooden doll, watching the heat carefully.

In this way, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

"Brother, are you done yet?"

Suddenly, a clear, childlike voice came from the doorway.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Fengzhi barged into the kitchen.

Then she saw her brother, and was so frightened that she froze, her eyes wide open...

Chapter 123, Xiao Qingyi: It's time to see him! (3K)

Cangyue Imperial Palace, Jinglan Hall.

Deep within the layers of curtains was a large phoenix couch covered with a bright yellow brocade rug.

Xiao Qingyi was leaning against the soft pillows of the phoenix couch, her delicate body wrapped in a phoenix-patterned nightgown. Her two full and plump breasts stretched the dress so that it bulged and rounded, like heavy, ripe fruits about to fall.

At this moment, Jing Shu squatted down in front of him, massaging the section of her fair, lotus-root-like calf beneath her skirt.

"Your Majesty, a report has arrived from the Demon Suppression Division."

"Gu Jinzhao solved a major case during his trip to Baihua County."

Xiao Qingyi asked somewhat languidly, "What major case?"

Jing Shu recounted in detail: "Dugu Wang, the magistrate of Baihua County, is a member of the Underworld God Cult who has been infiltrating for many years."

"His intentions were treacherous; he actually broke the seal of the Fearful Mist Demon, intending to slaughter all the inhabitants of the county and frame the Nanzhao Kingdom for the crime..."

Among them, the affairs of Lady Dugu, Chu You, and Li Jing were all listed one by one, as if one were present at the scene.

She paused for a moment, then added, "If the Underworld Cult succeeds in its plan, there will be no room for reconciliation between the Cangyue Dynasty and the Nanzhao Kingdom."

Currently, the Northern Demon Court is frequently causing trouble, and the Demonic Underworld Cult is wreaking havoc across five states, leaving the Cangyue Dynasty beset by internal and external threats.

Furthermore, the return of the Zen Realm to the Central Plains will inevitably clash with the Dao Realm, causing a huge upheaval.

At this time, if this matter were to cause conflict with the Nanzhao Kingdom or trigger a major war, it would undoubtedly be adding insult to injury.

Xiao Qingyi narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and a captivating smile curved her lips: "It's about time to meet this young sword immortal from the Qingyun Sect!"

……

Inside the Imperial Study, candlelight blazed brightly!

Emperor Yongxing was sitting upright behind his desk, reviewing the memorials before him.

He is twenty-six years old this year and has been on the throne for fourteen years. His face is calm and composed, exuding the majesty of an emperor.

The study was extremely quiet, with only the soft scratching of the brush tip across the rice paper.

Suddenly, Emperor Yongxing paused, his gaze falling upon a memorial presented by the Demon Suppression Bureau: "The case of the mummified corpse in Baihua County has been solved; the magistrate of Baihua County, Dugu Wang, is a member of the Underworld God Cult..."

He glanced at it briefly, finally stopping at the three characters "Gu Jinzhao".

"This child is the little sword immortal of the Qingyun Sect."

Cao Jinyan stepped forward to the Grand Eunuch, who was standing three steps away from the Emperor's desk, and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the man."

Emperor Yongxing seemed to remember something, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "He is indeed a talented person, perhaps he can be of use to me!"

Although Gu Jinchao is only at the seventh rank of cultivation, based on his performance at the Six Sects Heroes Gathering, with a little training, he will surely become a right-hand man in the future.

Cao Jinyan pondered for a moment before slowly replying, "This boy is at odds with the Zen realm and has also offended the Zhao family."

Emperor Yongxing smiled and said, "His grudge with Chanjing is not an irreconcilable feud between life and death."

"As for the Zhao family, the reason they want to get rid of Gu Jinzhao is because they are afraid that he will continue to investigate the matter of colluding with evil cultivators to cultivate pills."

"Once he accepts the offer, the matter will naturally be dropped."

At this point, he looked at Cao Jinyan: "Go to the Demon Suppression Division tomorrow and summon him to the palace."

Cao Jinyan seemed to have thought of something and hesitated slightly: "On his first day on duty, Gu Jinchao killed his superior Zhao Jinbei with his sword. On the second day, not only did he not accept punishment, but he also replaced him and became the captain."

"The Empress Dowager must have had a say in this!"

A shadow crossed Emperor Yongxing's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, replaced by a meaningful smile: "Since Mother also values ​​Gu Jinzhao, doesn't that prove this boy is indeed extraordinary?"

"I'd like to see which side he chooses..."

……

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

After having breakfast, Gu Jinzhao and Yu Fengzhi rode their mare to the military command post for roll call.

It is worth mentioning that because Yu Fengzhi shrunk, a new White Tiger Guard uniform was made for her.

"Brother, do you think Feng'er looks majestic in this outfit?"

As soon as Yu Fengzhi changed into her new clothes, she couldn't wait to come to him. Then she suddenly stopped, puffed out her small chest, and tried her best to put on a serious and imposing expression.

But those bright, sparkling eyes were brimming with undisguised anticipation, excitement, and a touch of smugness.

At this moment, she carried a long sword taller than a person on her back, and her petite body was wrapped in a childlike white tiger-striped dress.

She wore a black wristband and a pair of deerskin boots with a small tuft of snow-white fur on the toe, like a tiger cub's ear!

Gu Jinzhao couldn't help but chuckle: "So cute!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Fengzhi blushed slightly and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

But the next moment, she couldn't help but mutter, "I am the White Tiger Guard who slays demons and monsters, I should be majestic and awe-inspiring."

"Otherwise, how can we deter those demons and monsters?"

Gu Jinzhao rubbed her little head: "Slaying demons and monsters doesn't rely on momentum, it relies on strength."

Yu Fengzhi pursed her lips and asked with some curiosity, "Is Feng'er powerful now?"

She knew she had cultivation and could already master some aspects of it, but she didn't know what level she was at.

Gu Jinzhao praised, "Very impressive, even I am no match for Feng'er."

This isn't bragging, it's true.

After all, his martial uncle was already at the peak of the fifth rank, two major realms higher than him.

Upon hearing this, Yu Fengzhi's eyes lit up: "Then from now on, Feng'er will protect brother!"

"Then I'll have to trouble Feng'er!"

Gu Jinzhao smiled, took her small hand, and walked towards the duty room.

Although his strength had greatly improved after refining the Fearful Mist Demon, he could not afford to become complacent.

After all, Lin Qingci is chasing from behind, and Mu Yiren is trying to surpass her from the front, so she has to keep building up her armor.

As usual, after assigning tasks to Wang Han and his men, Gu Jinzhao retrieved a number of files and began to peruse them.

[Du Sha, the Blood-Handed Butcher, is a perfected eighth-grade cultivator who has slaughtered over a hundred people.]

[Soul-Capturing Yin Maiden Liu San Niang, cultivation level: early stage of seventh rank...]

Just as he was preparing to select today's lucky winner, the door to the duty room was pushed open.

There was no knocking, no announcement!

Two figures entered at the same time.

One of them was an old man with a white face and no beard, his temples slightly frosted, wearing a dark purple eunuch's robe embroidered with python patterns.

The other person was a mature and elegant female official dressed in a light blue palace dress. She had a graceful figure, an extremely beautiful face, and a quiet and elegant temperament.

Inside the duty room, a captain recognized the two people, his expression changed slightly, and he respectfully bowed: "Greetings, Eunuch Cao, Aunt Jing Shu!"

The other officers, not daring to be negligent, also bowed in the same manner.

Gu Jinchao slowly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Eunuch Cao, Aunt Jing Shu!"

If he wasn't mistaken, both of them had come for him.

In the storyline of Cangyue Dynasty, after entering the Demon Suppression Division and completing the "Showing Promise" quest, you will attract the attention of the Empress Dowager and Emperor Yongxing.

At this point, you need to choose a faction.

However, in the game, Cao Jinyan and Jing Shu arrived one after the other to recruit him.
