Fairy, please don't do this!

Chu Yue'e's cheeks flushed red, and her expression became somewhat unnatural. She subconsciously turned her head away: "That's just because you and I have a predestined relationship from a past life."

Gu Jinzhao stroked the beautiful woman's profile, making her turn around, and said with a smile, "Although we are bound by marriage, it cannot sway our true feelings."

"Especially for a woman of such high cultivation and strong will as Madam, if she is unwilling, who can force her?"

"So, you're just saying one thing and meaning another."

Yuechu'e's personality is actually a bit arrogant.

That's what they think in their hearts, but they won't admit it out loud.

Yuechu'e glared at him, both embarrassed and annoyed: "Who's being hypocritical?"

Gu Jinzhao blinked: "Whoever answers, that's who it is!"

Unable to argue with him, Yue'e was overcome with anger and, driven by malice, opened her mouth and bit his shoulder.

"Hiss... Let go!"

Gu Jinzhao gasped and pinched the round buttocks hard with his hand.

Yuechu'e's delicate body stiffened, her cheeks flushed crimson, her pearly teeth sinking into his shoulder flesh, drawing a trickle of blood: "You... loosen your grip first."

Gu Jinzhao quickly said, "Count to three, then relax together."

"Um……"

Yuechu'e responded listlessly.

"Three, two, one!"

Gu Jinzhao quickly finished counting and immediately let go.

Yuechu'e also raised her head, a bright red bloodstain on her thin lips, adding a touch of alluring bewitching charm.

She looked at the clear teeth marks on Gu Jinzhao's shoulder and said in a spoiled tone, "This mark is mine, you are not allowed to erase it."

Gu Jinchao asked instinctively, "Why not?"

Yuechu'e snorted coldly: "No, that's right."

Yu Fengzhi's kiss was a seal of approval for this man!

And her first impression of Yue'e's teeth was also a stamp!

A hickey may disappear, but a tooth mark will remain forever as long as Gu Jinchao doesn't erase it.

Just as Gu Jinzhao was about to say something, he saw through the glass wall that a graceful, ethereal figure quietly slipped into the room, followed by a calico cat with light footsteps.

"How can we not find them..."

Yu Fengzhi stood in the center of the room, her pretty face veiled with a thin layer of annoyance, her eyes filled with resentment.

She had come prepared to catch her husband cheating tonight, but she came up empty-handed.

The calico cat leaped onto the table on its own, its pink tongue flicking as it sipped several mouthfuls of cold tea to moisten its throat: "Shall we continue searching?"

Yu Fengzhi narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "I'm not looking anymore, I'll just wait here."

She suspected that Yuechu'e and Gu Jinzhao had not yet begun refining the Phoenix Flame, otherwise they would not have searched all the rooms on the fifth floor without finding them!

In that case, we might as well wait patiently for the rabbit to run into our trap.

The calico cat asked sweetly, "Should we hide?"

Yu Fengzhi looked around and finally settled her gaze on the sandalwood wardrobe in the corner.

"Hide there."

As he spoke, he walked ahead and opened the cabinet door.

What comes into view is a row of gorgeous dresses and gowns, with silks and satins neatly stacked, and various colored silk stockings hanging like mist, which is beautiful and exquisite.

Yu Fengzhi's gaze swept over the exquisite corsets and slip dresses.

Thinking back to when Yuechu'e had seduced Gu Jinzhao in these clothes in the fitting room, she couldn't help but mutter, "What a vixen."

Suddenly, she caught sight of a strange garment.

The front and back are wrapped only in a thin silk no bigger than the palm of your hand, and connected by several silver silk ribbons, resembling butterfly wings or an unopened flower bud.

What is this?

"Could it be used to seduce men too?"

Yu Fengzhi reached out and touched it lightly, feeling a cool, smooth texture on her fingertips, but she didn't know where to put it.

Just then, the calico cat's voice suddenly came: "Strange, the atmosphere here is a bit stronger than before."

"where?"

Yu Fengzhi quickly put the strange clothes back in their original place and then turned her head away.

The calico cat nestled against a carved sandalwood panel, tilting its head back to sniff: "This is it. It smells like the young master, mixed with a cloyingly warm fragrance emanating from here."

Yu Fengzhi stepped forward to examine it closely. On one corner of the panel, a light blue lotus petal was carved, with distinct veins and lifelike features.

A thought flickered in her mind, and her fingertips traced the edge of the lotus petals: "Could it be that there's a hidden compartment inside?"

As he spoke, he tentatively pressed a few buttons.

Tap, tap—

The lotus petals rotated a few times, and a very faint click of a mechanism was heard at the joint, but the hidden compartment did not open.

"It really is a trap!"

Yu Fengzhi's eyes lit up, and she pointed her fingers like a sword, a wisp of crimson sword intent condensing at her fingertips, and slashed it directly at the wall.

She wasn't Yuechu'e, so naturally she didn't know how to open it; it would be better to just break through the wall and enter directly.

Inside the dark room, Gu Jinzhao's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked, "Can this wooden wall withstand a sword cultivator at the peak of the fifth rank?"

He never expected that the calico cat had such a keen sense of smell, able to distinguish even the slightest difference in the intensity of a scent.

It seems that he has recently consumed a lot of pills at the military command, which has improved his strength and enhanced his sense of smell.

At the beginning of the month, Yue'e's expression also became serious; the flush on her cheeks had not yet faded, but her breathing had become slow and gentle.

"The wall is made of glazed metal and has three layers of restrictions embedded in it. Even if an ordinary fifth-grade cultivator were to bombard it with all their might, they would find it difficult to budge it in the slightest!"

"But Yu Fengzhi is a sword cultivator, and she has already stepped into the fourth rank. I'm afraid we can't stop her."

Gu Jinchao's heart sank upon hearing this: "How long can they hold them off?"

After a moment of contemplation, Yue'e replied, "Although the restriction is strong, it is not an offensive formation. With this brat's sharp swordsmanship, it will take at most an hour to grind her down inch by inch."

"An hour?"

Gu Jinchao's eyes flashed, and his thoughts raced: "If we speed things up, we might be able to exorcise the fire poison before then."

He immediately put his arm around the waist of the beautiful woman in front of him and gently lifted her onto the rosewood table.

Yuechu'e pursed her red lips and gave a soft "Mmm": "Really... in time?"

"As long as Madam stabilizes the Nirvana Phoenix Flame and prevents the fire poison from overflowing, I can completely neutralize it within an hour."

Gu Jinzhao took a deep breath, steadied himself, and stood with his feet slightly apart as if on a stake, adopting a posture as steady as a rock.

He then pushed the True Yang Sword Technique to its limit, and the True Yang Fire within his spiritual palace spun rapidly, with crimson light faintly seeping through his pores, as he began to exorcise the fire poison once more.

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for that long."

The heat was intense, and Yuechu'e's face was flushed crimson, with fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead and sliding down her neck and into her clothes.

Her cascading black hair released a faint fragrance as it swayed gently, intertwining with the rich, honey-like aroma.

Gu Jinchao said gently, "Madam has endured the pain of being burned by the Phoenix Flame day and night all these years, and she has managed to persevere until now."

"It's only been a mere hour, how could we not hold on?"

Chu Yue'e glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed, and raised her thin, silk-clad leg to kick him: "This...how can this be the same?"

Gu Jinzhao reached out and grabbed it, shouldering this responsibility: "Just treat it as a different kind of cultivation!"

"This concubine... um!"

Yuechu'e was about to speak again when she saw the man in front of her lean down and his warm lips cover hers without warning, silencing all her unfinished words.

In an instant, her eyes became misty and she couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck and begin to respond...

Chapter 149, Caught in the Act? (3K)

"Faster, faster!"

The crimson sword intent at Yu Fengzhi's fingertips grew increasingly sharp, like a fine spider web, constantly cutting into the carved wall in front of him, making a hissing sound.

She was almost certain that Gu Jinzhao and Yue Chu'e were inside!

Once this door is broken down, we can catch them in the act.

At that time, she would show that vixen what the anger of a legal wife was like.

Of course, if the two were simply refining the Nirvana Phoenix Flame normally, Yu Fengzhi would have a suitable excuse.

She was naturally worried because her brother didn't come home late at night!

Moreover, refining the Phoenix Flame is extremely dangerous, so isn't it perfectly reasonable for them to come and check on it secretly?

"Go, Feng'er!"

The calico cat lay to one side, its little paws clutching a pale blue pill, nibbling on it while mumbling encouragement.

If she successfully catches the adulterer in the act, she will surely obtain more elixirs.

Yu Fengzhi will give her a copy, and Gu Jinzhao will also give her a copy in order to win her over and prevent her from telling Mu Yiren.

Then, it'll be a win-win situation!

ヾ(??▽?)ノOkay!

"no!"

"At this rate, it will probably take an hour to break through."

"We need to find a way to shorten the time."

Yu Fengzhi frowned slightly as she looked at the shallow sword mark on the wall.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she looked at the calico cat: "Give me the sword!"

"Okay!"

The calico cat reached out its little paw, rummaged through the tiny pouch hanging on its body, and quickly pulled out a crimson longsword, which it handed over.

This tiny pouch was a gift from Mu Yiren upon her return; it's also a storage magic item.

She kept all the pills she had earned over the days, along with some delicious snacks, inside.

Tonight, Yu Fengzhi put her Red Lotus Sword inside, just in case something unexpected happened.

I never expected it would come in handy.

"With the Crimson Lotus Sword, the time can be reduced by at least half!"

Yu Fengzhi's lips curved into a captivating smile, and with a flick of her wrist, the crimson sword light swirled like a dragon coiling around a jade wall.

Ripples instantly spread across the carved panel wall, and the sound of the wood grain cracking was clearly audible.

The scene before her eyes was just like a wife in real life, catching her husband and his mistress in a hotel room.

Now, all that's left is to break down the door and catch them in the act!

Inside the hidden chamber, Gu Jinchao saw Yu Fengzhi take out the Red Lotus Sword through the glass wall, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

My own martial uncle is really well prepared!

In order to catch them in the act of adultery, he even brought the Crimson Lotus Sword.

It's easy to imagine that if someone saw him and Yuechu'e being so intimate, they would definitely draw their sword and kill them.

For the first time, Gu Jinzhao felt the wood-chopping knife was so close to him.

"I wish I hadn't entered the state of 'being true to myself'!"

He somewhat regretted his haste in breaking through to the sixth rank.
