Fairy, please don't do this!

Gu Jinzhao had already picked her up from the bed, held her tightly in his arms, and rushed towards the door.

At the beginning of the month, Yue'e's breathing quickened slightly, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. Her beautiful face instantly flushed with a captivating blush, making her extremely alluring.

"Let's go to another room to take shelter!"

"Otherwise, Feng'er will find us sooner or later."

Gu Jinzhao held the voluptuous and beautiful woman in his arms tightly, forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart. He held his breath, opened the door, and silently slipped into the corridor.

Although he cultivated the "Six Elements True Demon Technique" and could create illusions with the power of "ugliness," his cultivation level was ultimately only at the seventh rank of perfection.

Yu Fengzhi, however, was a sword cultivator with one foot in the fourth rank. Her senses were incredibly sharp, and the illusion could not hide from her for long.

Therefore, the only option is to hide.

As long as the culprit is well hidden and not discovered, the "traitor" cannot be caught.

Of course, he had to multitask during the process.

Not only must they conceal themselves and remain completely still, but they must also continue to exorcise the fire poison from Yue'e's body.

Outside the door was a long, circular corridor covered with a velvet carpet, with several glass palace lanterns hanging on the walls. The dim, yellowish light cast long, trailing shadows of the two intertwined figures, making them appear slightly distorted.

Without pausing, Gu Jinchao carried the beautiful woman in his arms and hurried along the corridor.

At the beginning of the month, E'e's cheeks flushed, her beautiful face, as lovely as a peach blossom, was buried deep in the crook of his neck, her hot breaths becoming increasingly disordered.

As her long, narrow eyelashes trembled slightly, the jade-like arms encircling the back of his neck tightened, her fingertips almost digging into his skin, leaving faint red marks.

"Let's take shelter here for now."

Gu Jinzhao pushed open a carved wooden door with his shoulder, slipped inside, and closed the door behind him, but did not bolt it.

The room inside was a simply furnished spare room, complete with a table, chairs, and a bed.

He held the soft jade in his arms tightly and slowly walked around the room once.

At the beginning of the month, Yue'e's eyes glistened with tears, and her delicate body, wrapped in a cheongsam, tensed slightly: "Why...why not find a room further away?"

While circulating the True Yang Sword Technique to dispel the fire poison, Gu Jinzhao explained in a low voice, "Little Fox has an extremely keen sense of smell and will be able to follow the scent soon."

"What we need to do now is to leave our presence in every room."

"This way we can confuse the public and make it difficult for her to find her whereabouts."

With her eyes alluring and her bright red lips slightly parted, Yuechu'e exhaled a delicate, fragrant breath: "But there are only nine rooms on this floor. We can't keep playing hide-and-seek with them like this, can we?"

"Madam did not understand what I meant."

"As long as there is still a trace of the virus in all nine rooms, we can find a safe place to hide and exorcise the poison with peace of mind."

Seeing her so aroused, Gu Jinzhao could no longer suppress the restlessness in his heart. He lowered his head and gently kissed her slender, snow-white neck, deeply inhaling her rich, honey-like fragrance.

"There is a hidden compartment in my room. I wonder if it will be of any use."

At the beginning of the month, Yue'e tilted her head slightly, her eyes tinged with a blush, and instinctively wrapped her snow-white arms around the man in front of her.

Because of the burning of the Nirvana Phoenix Flame, her fair skin had turned a light red and was covered with fine, fragrant sweat.

A few strands of her dark hair fell down her neck, while a few more clung to her luscious lips, adding to her mature and alluring charm.

……

Shortly after the two left the bedroom, the calico cat quietly slipped in through the window and landed lightly on the floor.

"Why is nobody here?"

Yu Fengzhi scanned the room with the cat's eyes and was slightly taken aback.

But when her gaze fell upon the disheveled bedding and pillows on the bed and the still flickering candlelight on the table, she immediately sent a telepathic message: "Search the room carefully!"

"Brother and that vixen must still be on the fifth floor."

She had actually already spread her divine sense to search just now.

However, the entire floor was shrouded in a mysterious array, and any divine sense that ventured out was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

Upon hearing this, the calico cat tiptoed and began to search carefully.

They searched everywhere—under the bed, inside the cabinets, in the desk drawers—but still couldn't find a single person.

Yu Fengzhi suddenly had a thought: "Little Li, you have the best sense of smell, could you possibly smell your brother's scent?"

The calico cat twitched its pink nose, and a faint, sweet, musky scent lingered in the air.

"It has the scent of a young master, mixed with a warm, indescribable fragrance."

Yu Fengzhi's eyes lit up: "Follow this scent!"

The calico cat immediately darted out of the room.

They arrived at the second room in the blink of an eye, only to find it empty again.

Yu Fengzhi frowned: "Why is no one here again?"

The calico cat looked bewildered: "But there really is the aura of a young master in this room."

"What should we do now?"

Yu Fengzhi snorted coldly: "Continue to search along the scent!"

She suspected that Yuechu'e had discovered her infiltration and deliberately hid with Gu Jinzhao.

It's not impossible.

After all, the opponent's cultivation level is at least third grade. Even if they concentrate on refining the Phoenix Flame, they may still be able to sense the movement of the outside world.

Or perhaps, the Phoenix Flame has been refined, Gu Jinzhao has left, and that sly fox has noticed her arrival and is deliberately hiding and playing tricks.

Without much hesitation, the calico cat searched for three more rooms, but as before, they were all empty and deserted.

Yu Fengzhi almost gritted her teeth: "There are only nine rooms on the fifth floor, we can definitely find someone there!"

The calico cat lay on the carpet, panting and muttering softly, "I need to rest for a while, I'm so tired."

She first sneaked past the guards tonight, and then searched several rooms, which exhausted her mental and physical strength.

"Little Tanuki, you rest here for now. We'll continue searching later. I'll go in the opposite direction!"

After Yu Fengzhi finished speaking, her soul left the cat's body and transformed into an invisible phantom, which sped away along the other side of the circular corridor.

She knew very well that catching someone in the act of adultery had to be done quickly.

If we wait even a moment longer, we might really miss our chance.

……

Unbeknownst to Yu Fengzhi, Gu Jinzhao had already quietly returned to the original bedroom with the beautiful woman in his arms.

"The Nirvana Phoenix Flame is about to be uncontrollable!"

"You can't wander around anymore..."

At the beginning of the month, E'e was mesmerized, her long eyelashes were wet, and her voice was so sticky it seemed to have hooks, captivating the heartstrings.

Tormented repeatedly by the fire poison, and further disturbed by Yu Fengzhi, her thoughts were in complete disarray, and her heart trembled uncontrollably.

She never imagined that she would have such a humiliating and shameful day.

"I'm not leaving, I'll just hide here!"

Gu Jinzhao took a deep breath and carried her to a seemingly ordinary carved sandalwood panel on the inner side of the bedroom.

His right hand still held that plump and soft body, while his left hand moved with lightning speed, pressing several times in a very methodical manner on a lotus petal carving in a corner of the wall.

click, click, click—

With a very faint sound of a mechanism turning, the panel silently slid open inward, revealing a narrow, dark room.

The room was neatly stacked with ledgers, the faint scent of ink lingering in the air. This was Yuechu'e's private study where she usually kept accounts.

Gu Jinzhao carried her into the dark room and slowly sat down on a sandalwood chair covered with soft cushions: "Hidden here, Feng'er should not be able to find us."

Yuechu'e's face grew even more radiant and bright. Her slender hand, which had been tightly wrapped around his neck, slipped down and rested on his shoulder: "But if Yu Fengzhi returns here and searches more thoroughly, wouldn't we be exposed?"

"She won't look for a place again after searching for it once."

Gu Jinzhao let out a long breath, his brows furrowed with exhaustion.

Yu Fengzhi's sudden discovery of their affair forced him to hide and evade Yuechu'e, all while continuing the exorcism of the fire poison.

As a result, not only is spiritual energy depleted, but the mind also has to be tense, naturally leaving one exhausted!

Seeing him like this, Yuechu'e felt a pang of sympathy and said softly, "Young Master Gu, please rest for a while. I will cleanse you of the fire poison myself!"

Gu Jinzhao was slightly taken aback, his gaze involuntarily falling on the stunningly beautiful noblewoman before him: "Madam, is that alright?"

Yuechu'e felt her cheeks and ears burning, but she still straightened her slender waist and said defiantly, "Don't underestimate me!"

Gu Jinzhao smiled and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, Madam..."

Chapter 148, The Lady's Cultivation (3K)

The dimly lit room had no windows; the only door was tightly shut, and there was no sound.

The walls are thick and covered with a special glass interlayer, completely isolating all sound and light from the interior.

A lamp stood in the corner, its tiny flame burning quietly, casting a voluptuous and graceful silhouette, like a floating duckweed on water, undulating gently.

"Can the Nirvana Phoenix Flame be suppressed?"

Gu Jinchao gently stroked her soft, jade-like back with his palm through a layer of delicate, dark blue cheongsam.

Yuechu'e looked dazed and intoxicated, giving him a flirtatious glance: "Young Master Gu, don't you trust me?"

Gu Jinchao sat upright in a cushioned sandalwood chair, leaning back against the chair, his breathing slightly rapid: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that tonight's unexpected events have caught me completely off guard."

Who could have predicted that Yu Fengzhi would choose this moment to catch them in the act of adultery?

Even more coincidentally, they happened to be exorcising the fire poison and were unable to separate.

"Young Master Gu is afraid of being seen by her, but I am not afraid."

"If it weren't for the fact that I can't withdraw my demonic power at all right now, I would definitely teach that brat a lesson."

At the beginning of the month, Yue'e tilted her head slightly, her hair falling loosely across her forehead, revealing her exquisitely beautiful face flushed with rosy hues. Her half-closed eyes were filled with a gentle, shimmering light, like a pool of autumn water rippling with soft waves.

Gu Jinzhao coughed lightly: "Can't the two of you get along well?"

Yuechu'e parted her red lips slightly, exhaling a warm, sweet breath: "Will Young Master Gu get along well with his rival in love?"

The dark blue cheongsam she wore was slightly disheveled, with the collar slightly open, revealing the bra embroidered with fathead fish underneath, tightly covering her two full and proud breasts.

The hem of the cheongsam, like a dark curtain, partially concealed the exquisite curves from her hips to her legs, making the skin of her calves, wrapped in silk stockings, appear even more dazzlingly white.

Those gorgeous dark blue satin high heels stomped on the sandalwood chair, the black jade hairpin-like heels sinking deeply into the soft cushions.

Compared to her usual dignified and noble demeanor, she now exuded a touch of unrestrained indulgence, which only enhanced her captivating charm.

Gu Jinzhao's gaze was firmly fixed on her, and his arms involuntarily tightened around her voluptuous and alluring body, inhaling her unique, mature fragrance: "Of course not."

At the beginning of the month, Yue'e bit her lower lip lightly, her waist slightly straightening: "Even Young Master Gu himself can't do it... so why do you think I can get along with that wretched girl?"

"But we can't just fight to the death the moment we meet, can we?"

"Being stuck in the middle like this is not a good feeling for me."

Gu Jinzhao's hand involuntarily touched the pair of light blue satin high heels.

The shoes are soft and slightly cool to the touch, with sapphires inlaid at the toes shimmering with a soft glow, making the instep, which is tightly wrapped in thin silk, appear hazy and jade-like, with faint blue veins showing through.

"Who told you to be such a womanizer?"

At the beginning of the month, Yue'e wrapped her jade-like arms around his neck, her cheeks flushed, and gave him a sidelong glance that seemed both angry and annoyed.

Gu Jinzhao asked with a half-smile, "Since I'm so fickle, why does my wife still like me?"

As he spoke, his palm slowly stroked up her rounded, thin-skinned ankle.

His entire palm rested against the beautiful curves of her calves, passing over her firm calves and plump thighs, clearly feeling the warmth of her skin and the smoothness of her stockings.

"Who likes you..."

At the beginning of the month, Yue'e looked up with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, and moved her thin, silk-clad leg away, not letting this stinky man touch her.

Gu Jinzhao tightened his arms around her waist, brought his face close to hers, and met her misty eyes: "Wasn't it Madam who first expressed her feelings to me?"
