Fairy, please don't do this!

Upon hearing this, the Cangyue people all glared angrily, but no one dared to utter a word in rebuttal.

Two consecutive losses are a fact, and any argument at this point would seem futile.

On the Phoenix Terrace, Xiao Qingyi slowly raised her eyes and said coldly, "The Cangyue Hunting Ceremony is not over yet. It's not too late to show off your power after you win."

The Azure Moon Hunting Ceremony will last for five days.

There are two matches a day, totaling ten matches.

The Demon Court's two victories were indeed unexpected, but the outcome is still uncertain.

……

Night falls at the Northern Palace.

The candlelight flickered in the hall, illuminating the stunning figure draped in a magnificent phoenix robe.

Xiao Qingyi looked at the handsome man standing below the steps and said softly, "Gu Qing, have you investigated why those mixed-blood demons have such combat power?"

In both of today's major battles, the mixed-blood demons unleashed terrifying combat power, turning the tide of the battle.

This naturally aroused her suspicion.

Gu Jinzhao pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Sister Yiren detected through her double pupils that there is an aura in their bodies that seems to be demonic."

"If I'm not mistaken, those hybrid demons must have incorporated demonic blood to possess such combat power."

Xiao Qingyi's expression turned slightly cold: "Does Gu Qing mean that the Demon Court colluded with the Demonic Sect?"

Gu Jinzhao nodded: "That's right!"

Luo Pingzhi and Chen Beiwang are both outstanding young talents, with top-notch cultivation and combat strength.

If the opponent hadn't been different, they would never have lost when victory was within their grasp.

Xiao Qingyi looked at Gu Jinchao: "Gu Qing, what do you think we should do?"

Gu Jinzhao already had a plan in mind: "This matter need not be addressed."

"Of the ten hunting competitions, we only need to ensure we win six."

"Your humble servant has secured two spots, which guarantees victory in both matches."

"Mu Yiren, Lin Qingci, and Miaotan can all win a match."

"Therefore, there are five matches."

He paused for a moment, then said, "As for the sixth match, let me handle it."

Xiao Qingyi reminded them, "There are rules in the Hunting Ceremony: if a person fights consecutively, no matter how many matches, they must complete them on the same day, and there is no rest in between."

"At that time, Gu Qing will be fighting three people in a row. Are you confident?"

This rule is to prevent both sides from having their strongest prodigies play multiple times.

Each battle is extremely exhausting, and even with abundant spiritual power, it is difficult to fight continuously.

Gu Jinzhao revealed a confident smile: "Since I have made the suggestion, I am naturally confident in my ability to make it."

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Qingyi finally responded: "I grant your permission."

"However, if you are to fight three people in a row, one of you will have to be replaced!"

"Gu Qing, who do you think should be replaced?"

Gu Jinzhao did not hesitate: "Ning Muchi".

Xiao Qingyi raised an eyebrow slightly: "Why him?"

Gu Jinzhao gave his reason: "Ning Muchi entered the Corpse Demon Cave some time ago and was seriously injured by me. He has not yet recovered. How can he go into battle?"

Of course, this is not a reason to replace Ning Muchi.

The real reason is that Ning Muchi is the son of the Prince of Zhenbei.

The Demonic Sect is now rallying the hearts of the people for the Prince of Zhenbei, hoping to gain momentum in the war.

Ning Muchi can only make progress in his next plan by losing this crucial match.

Xiao Qingyi looked directly at the man before her, her red lips parted slightly: "I grant your permission!"

"But in this battle, Gu Qing must win, not lose."

"If we lose, you should know the consequences, right?"

Gu Jinchao continued, "If I lose, I will go directly to the castration room to report for duty."

Xiao Qingyi's beautiful lips curved slightly into a smile: "If Gu Qingru doesn't want to become Eunuch Gu, then go back and prepare properly!"

Gu Jinzhao coughed lightly: "Your humble servant's divine cultivation has broken through to the late stage of the fifth rank, and will soon reach perfection."

"His martial arts cultivation has broken through from the early stage of the sixth rank to the middle stage, and he is only one step away from entering the late stage."

This trip to the Misty Swamp was very fruitful.

First, he refined the demonic energy within the body of the Moth Phoenix Clan, and then with the help of Yuechu'e in dual cultivation, he was able to break through a small realm in both the Divine Martial and Divine Martial paths.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyi narrowed her pale golden phoenix eyes: "So, what Gu Qing means is?"

Gu Jinchao said righteously, "Please, Your Majesty, help this humble subject in his cultivation!"

Xiao Qingyi leaned back on the phoenix throne, her delicate hand supporting her chin. Her long, slender legs were crossed beneath her skirt, revealing a section of her rounded calves covered in ice silkworm gray silk: "Does Gu Qing wish to comprehend the true meaning of my martial arts?"

Gu Jinchao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Xiao Qingyi glanced at him indifferently, then raised her slender foot, clad in sky-high heels, to step on him: "Considering that Gu Qing has been working hard for the dynasty these past few days, I will grant you this one time!"

"Your Majesty, please try a different approach!"

Gu Jinzhao quickly grabbed the soft ankle, afraid that this woman would give him another [Thunder and Fire Stomp].

Xiao Qingyi seemed intrigued: "How about another method?"

"Does Your Majesty still remember the method of using sesame oil to massage your back when I relieved your fatigue before?"

Gu Jinzhao took the initiative to remove the Empress Dowager's sky-high heels, revealing a delicate gray silk foot that could be described as a fairy's, and gently massaged it.

The feet are as beautiful as jade carvings, and the thin gray silk fabric clings to the skin like solidified cream, outlining the firm and silky lines.

Five jade-like toes, painted with deep purple nail polish, came into view, like violets quietly blooming in the night, cold and beautiful yet charming.

"You want me to give you a back massage with sesame oil?"

Xiao Qingyi felt a slight tingling sensation on her cheeks beneath the lace mask as the dog servant held her foot. For some reason, she did not kick him away.

"If Your Majesty is willing!"

Gu Jinzhao held her heel with his palm and pressed his other hand on her flexible arch, gently massaging it.

With each movement, a faint, cool fragrance wafted from the gaps in the silk fabric, like plum blossoms just beginning to bloom, or orchids blooming in the night, lingering around the tip of the nose.

Xiao Qingyi's delicate body trembled slightly, a blush rose on her jade-like face, and her breathing gradually became erratic: "You dog servant, you are truly insolent!"

"What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?"

Gu Jinzhao was not intimidated. He slowly took out the Herbal Oil from the Earthly Branch Mirror and poured it onto the gray silk feet in his palm.

The sesame oil feels slightly cool to the touch, then quickly transforms into a warm, moisturizing sensation, slowly penetrating along the texture of the gray fibers.

Her fair skin became even more defined, the pale blue veins on the back of her feet became transparent, and the deep purple nail polish looked even more alluring against the backdrop of her oily skin.

"Um……"

Xiao Qingyi subconsciously grabbed the armrest, a seductive moan escaping her lips, her full breasts rising and falling slightly in front of her phoenix robe.

The next moment, she realized what was happening and quickly bit her lip, scolding, "You dog servant, how dare you lay a hand on me without my permission!"

Her voice, however, was not as cold as usual. Instead, it carried a softness that seemed to have lost its strength, sounding more like a reproach than a scolding.

"Didn't Her Majesty just agree?"

A smile flashed in Gu Jinzhao's eyes as he grabbed the Empress Dowager's other ankle, removed her high heels, and applied herbal oil to her gray silk foot.

The medicinal properties of the sesame oil seeped into the skin as he massaged it, traveling along the meridians, relieving fatigue and leaving a warm feeling wherever it went.

The feeling was so comfortable that Xiao Qingyi's body went limp, and her breathing became rapid: "When did I... agree to this?"

"When I helped Your Majesty remove her shoes, she did not kick me away, which means she agreed to it, doesn't it?"

Gu Jinchao once again transformed into a top-notch masseur, focusing intently on massaging the Empress Dowager.

My palms were covered in icy silk, and the smooth, delicate herbal oils glided over my feet, from the rounded heels to the glossy toes, and then to the tender soles, leaving no inch untouched.

The sesame oil gradually seeped in, making the thin layer of gray silk adhere even better to the skin.

Xiao Qingyi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, her delicate body tense: "I was just... thinking about the hunting ceremony."

Gu Jinzhao immediately looked annoyed: "It turns out that I misunderstood. Please punish me, Your Majesty..."

Even so, the hands did not stop moving.

With his thumb pressed against the Yongquan acupoint on the sole of her foot, true yang fire slowly flowed out and poured in.

Caught off guard, Xiao Qingyi's soft, flawless gray silk toes trembled again, her delicate hands gripping the armrest tightly, her five slender jade fingers trembling incessantly.

"How dare you, you dog of a servant..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Jinzhao instantly pushed the True Yang Sword Technique to its limit, transforming the True Yang Fire into the Brahma Flame.

"Well……"

Xiao Qingyi's delicate body stiffened, and she raised her head high.

The blush on her jade-like face instantly spread from her cheeks to her ears, and even her neck was tinged with a light pink.

Chapter 392, "Didn't you want me to give you a back massage with fragrant oil?" (3K)

Inside the main hall, the candlelight stopped flickering.

The warm air was filled with the refreshing medicinal fragrance of herbal oil, intertwined with a rich and subtle aroma reminiscent of osmanthus blossoms.

Sweet but not cloying, as intoxicating as wine!

At this moment, the Empress Dowager lay slumped on her phoenix throne, her delicate body, wrapped in a magnificent phoenix robe, trembling uncontrollably.

Her golden phoenix eyes were already veiled with a hazy, watery light, and the intoxicating blush on her jade-like face spread from her cheeks to her ears, even tinging her neck with a faint pink hue, exuding a captivating spring-like charm under the candlelight.

Gu Jinzhao still held that soft, silken foot in his hand, massaging the delicate sole: "Your Majesty, my method of promoting blood circulation through the uterus has improved considerably. What do you think?"

"Um--"

Xiao Qingyi looked dazed, as if she hadn't come to her senses yet. Her delicate red lips parted slightly, revealing her pearly white teeth and rosy tongue.

Gu Jinzhao looked up and saw that under that slender, snowy neck, the phoenix-patterned bodice had been opened at some point, and the full, snowy breasts wrapped in the phoenix-patterned bodice were heaving, as if they were about to burst out of the clothes.

Her pert, phoenix-like buttocks, encased beneath the skirt, were slightly raised, and her long, slender legs unconsciously came together.

Her gray silk feet, soaked in herbal oil, arched, her toes, painted with dark purple nail polish, curled and twitched, like violets quietly blooming in the night, cold and beautiful yet charming.

After a long while, the focus in her beautiful eyes refocused.

Xiao Qingyi met his feigned concern in his eyes and was immediately filled with shame and anger. She kicked him in the chest and said, "You dog of a servant, how dare you!"

Gu Jinzhao sat down on the ground with a thud, wincing in pain: "Your Majesty, I only wanted to use the method of 'pushing the uterus to circulate blood' to relieve your fatigue."

Xiao Qingyi grew angrier the more she thought about it. Her gray silk-clad jade foot pressed firmly against his chest, pinning him to the ground: "If that's the case, why didn't you stop when I told you to?"

"Her Majesty didn't say... to stop?"

Gu Jinchao felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his chest, making it extremely difficult to even breathe.

Xiao Qingyi recalled that she hadn't even had time to say "stop" before being completely defeated by the burning True Yang Fire, and her face immediately turned red.

This was clearly done intentionally by a lackey.

She lightly bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and the force of her foot became increasingly terrifying, almost breaking his ribs: "I did not say to stop, but I did not say to let you continue either."

Gu Jinzhao's body trembled, and his face flushed instantly: "If Your Majesty doesn't say anything... doesn't that mean you're tacitly agreeing to continue?"

"That's just sophistry."

Xiao Qingyi was furious, and she ground her gray silk toes, painted with dark purple nail polish, into his chest.

Gu Jinzhao gasped in pain: "Your Majesty, I was merely... deducing based on common sense."

"Common sense?" Xiao Qingyi sneered, "What kind of common sense is it that a servant can make decisions on his own without the master's permission?"
