Fairy, please don't do this!

"If you dare to open your eyes, I will make sure you die a horrible death."

Gu Jinzhao gave a bitter smile: "This humble subject is also unable to move now."

Xiao Qingyi nearly ground her teeth to powder: "Then what kind of help did you, you dog of a servant, offer?"

Gu Jinzhao said softly, "Just let me catch my breath!"

Although those three strands of martial arts essence helped him break through two realms in succession, they also brought extremely strong side effects.

Simply put, it means they have fallen into a state of weakness.

Xiao Qingyi bit her luscious red lips tightly: "How long?"

Gu Jinzhao took a deep breath: "About fifteen minutes!"

Xiao Qingyi's eyes trembled slightly, and the crimson beneath the lace mask became even more alluring and seductive, even spreading to her crystal-clear earlobes: "For the next quarter of an hour... you will hold your breath for me."

Gu Jinzhao said helplessly, "I'm afraid I can't do that."

Xiao Qingyi blushed and questioned, "Is it that you can't do it, or that you're unwilling to do it?"

Gu Jinzhao explained, "It's not that I don't want to, but my true essence and spiritual power are out of balance. If I don't draw some spiritual energy from the outside to break the deadlock, I don't know when I will be able to move."

Xiao Qingyi snorted coldly and remained silent, which was taken as acceptance of his explanation.

About fifteen minutes later!

A glint of light flashed in Gu Jinzhao's eyes, piercing through the black mist. A splash of ink-like color brightened his vision, like a cold plum blossom blooming quietly.

He paused for a moment, then his expression turned somewhat strange.

The thin, ink-wash-colored fabric before us is presented with the most stable geometric structure, and the material exudes a cool and silky texture.

It was the ice silkworm silk that he liked very much.

At this moment, Xiao Qingyi's voice rang out again: "A quarter of an hour has passed!"

"Your Majesty, I will help you get out of this predicament immediately."

Gu Jinzhao came to his senses and used both hands to support the Empress Dowager's slender waist, trying to slowly move her off him.

But at that very moment, the crimson that had been so painstakingly suppressed in those pale golden phoenix eyes erupted again like a volcanic eruption, instantly swallowing up the last shred of clarity.

"You dog of a servant, how dare you desecrate this palace... Your crime is unforgivable!"

Xiao Qingyi's eyes flashed with murderous intent. She straddled him again and grabbed his neck with her slender hand as fast as lightning.

Five slender, white fingers tightened, their bones cracking as if they were about to snap his neck.

"Your Majesty... do not let the slaughter consume your mind!"

Gu Jinzhao's expression changed drastically, and his spiritual power and true essence surged wildly within him as he gripped her wrists tightly with both hands.

Fortunately, Xiao Qingyi had used 99% of her cultivation to resist the backlash from the mad desire, and could only use a fraction of it.

Otherwise, that single pinch would have been enough to separate his head from his body.

"You dare to resist?"

Xiao Qingyi's expression grew even colder, and she raised her other delicate hand, fiercely pressing it against his chest.

Gu Jinzhao reacted extremely quickly, throwing a punch in return.

Boom—

Fist and palm collided, creating terrifying ripples that distorted and trembled the void, instantly extinguishing most of the candlelight in the hall.

Using the force of the recoil, Xiao Qingyi's wrist, which had been grabbed, broke free from its restraints.

She straddled him, her crimson eyes locking onto her prey, her hands moving like a blur of afterimages, each move deadly, as she engaged him in close combat.

With his superb PK skills, Gu Jinzhao countered the Empress Dowager's moves as she went mad, maneuvering and dodging within the confined space.

The two limbs intertwined, their true essence and spiritual power clashing, exuding killing intent.

Fortunately, Gu Jinzhao had just broken through and condensed his own martial spirit. Coupled with the domineering and fierce nature of the True Yang Sword Technique, he gradually gained the upper hand.

Suddenly, he seized an opening, grabbed her wrists with both hands like iron clamps, and twisted his waist with force.

boom--

Xiao Qingyi was pressed to the cold ground, her hands were pinned above her head, and her legs were pinned down by his knees, making it impossible for her to move.

She hissed, her eyes bloodshot: "Let go!"

Gu Jinzhao gasped for breath, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth: "If you let go, I will lose my life."

"If you don't release me, I can take your dog's life too!"

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Qingyi's eyes. She suddenly exerted force in her waist, raised a jade leg wrapped in ice silkworm gray silk, and slammed her knee into his lower abdomen like a heavy hammer.

"Your Majesty, wake up!"

Gu Jinzhao also raised his knee and blasted him back.

boom!

Their knees collided with a dull thud like thunder.

The ground shook violently, the floor tiles beneath them crumbled inch by inch, and rubble flew everywhere.

"I have remained fully conscious!"

Seeing that her attack had been blocked, Xiao Qingyi raised her other jade leg again, her knee wrapped in fierce true energy, and slammed into his ribs.

"If Her Majesty were awake, how could she possibly kill this humble subject?"

Gu Jinzhao knocked it away in the same way.

He then swiftly bent down and hooked her long, slender legs in gray silk stockings into his arms, completely locking her lower body in place.

"You dog of a servant...you deserve to die!"

Xiao Qingyi's jade-like back pressed tightly against the cold ground, her waist taut in a tight arc, like a fully drawn bowstring.

Gu Jinzhao hurriedly called out, "Your Majesty, guard the spirit altar..."

"Die!"

Xiao Qingyi showed no reaction whatsoever. Her eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she suddenly raised her head and bit his neck.

Gu Jinzhao hurriedly turned his head away, and at the same time used his spiritual power to create invisible shackles to hold her jaw and prevent the fatal bite.

In a flash, the image of him forcefully kissing her and suppressing his maddening desires flashed through his mind.

"The Empress forced me to do this!"

Gu Jinzhao gritted his teeth and, under Xiao Qingyi's angry glare, suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips.

"Well--!"

Xiao Qingyi's delicate body trembled slightly, and her movements suddenly froze.

A hint of clarity and astonishment surfaced in the crimson of her phoenix eyes.

But soon, the madness of desire swept over him again.

She began to struggle frantically, kicking her limbs wildly and biting down hard with her teeth.

"Uh……"

Gu Jinzhao let out a muffled groan in pain, but refused to let go. Instead, he unleashed his true yang fire, enveloping Xiao Qingyi in the flame, hoping to awaken her.

Flames erupted, and waves of heat rolled in.

The magnificent phoenix robe was the first to be burned to ashes, revealing a flawless and breathtakingly beautiful body.

Her shoulders were as smooth as ice and jade, and her collarbones were as delicate as butterfly wings.

Below was her ample bosom, encased in a phoenix-embroidered bodice, and with its rapid, undulating movements, a deep, white cleavage was faintly visible.

Below her slender waist, two full, rounded mounds suddenly appeared, like ripe peaches, gleaming alluringly in the firelight.

Under the scorching heat of the true yang fire, her jade legs, wrapped in ice silkworm ash, were tightly pressed together, her slender calves slightly arched, and her two silk feet, painted with dark purple nail polish, instinctively curled up.

Xiao Qingyi grew increasingly furious and fierce. She suddenly looked up and slammed her head into his forehead!

boom--

Gu Jinchao's vision went black, and his forehead was instantly torn open, with blood gushing out.

Xiao Qingyi's aura grew increasingly violent, already displaying the ultimate power of martial arts, intent on annihilating the man before her: "Insolence!"

"How dare you, you dog slave, commit such a blasphemous act?"

Seeing that she was plotting to kill again, Gu Jinzhao did not hesitate any longer, and all the spiritual power and true essence in his body suddenly erupted.

His hands bound her wrists like iron chains, and his knees pressed down hard on her struggling legs, pinning her firmly to the ground.

"Your Majesty... I'm sorry!"

Gu Jinzhao whispered something and bent down.

Xiao Qingyi's eyes trembled, and her delicate body stiffened on the spot.

……

Outside the palace, the moonlight was like water.

The elegant female official, dressed in a light blue palace dress, seemed to sense something and looked puzzled: "Why is the energy in the main hall so chaotic?"

"Could something have happened?"

Just now, the two auras inside the hall suddenly collided, as if someone was fighting.

At first, Jing Shu didn't take it to heart, thinking that the Empress was teaching Gu Jinzhao martial arts.

She was aware of the matter of comprehending the martial spirit, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

But a moment later, they realized something was wrong.

Because one of the energies became increasingly violent and bloodthirsty, as if it wanted to crush this world.

"Has the Empress's insane desires flared up again?"

Jing Shu's eyes sharpened, and without further hesitation, she darted to the palace gate like a wisp of smoke.

She did not dare to barge in directly, but instead raised her hand and pushed open a corner of the palace door.

With just one glance, he was struck dumb, frozen in place...

Chapter 395, "Let this humble servant serve Your Majesty!" (3K)

Gu Jinzhao sensed that the bloodthirsty and murderous aura had been suppressed, and slowly raised his head: "Is Your Majesty feeling better?"

What came into view was a flushed face hidden by a lace mask, and the redness in her pale golden phoenix eyes had faded considerably, replaced by a shimmering, watery hue.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager lay on the cold ground, her waist slightly arched, her hands and feet held by him.

Her long, black hair, styled with a phoenix hairpin, cascaded down her cheek, draping over her full, high breasts, trembling slightly with her rapid breathing.

Down her soft, plump abdomen, her legs were still wrapped in ice silkworm ash silk, but because of the burning of the True Yang Fire, there were cracks that revealed her fair and plump leg flesh.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyi looked at Gu Jinchao and saw his disheveled appearance with beads of sweat on his face. She was both ashamed and angry, and scolded him, "You dog of a servant... how dare you be so insolent!"

She never imagined that Gu Jinzhao would do something so absurd.

Seeing that she had regained her senses, Gu Jinzhao released her slender hand and silk-clad foot from his left hand, and said with a helpless expression:

"If Your Majesty does not do this, Your Majesty may go completely mad."

"At that time, not only this humble subject, but I fear the entire northern border will be slaughtered..."

Xiao Qingyi blushed and glared at him: "Then can't you wake me up in another way?"

"Has Your Majesty forgotten?"

“I just tried to kiss you, but it had no effect. Instead, you bit me.”

"Leaving no other choice, we had to resort to this desperate measure."

Gu Jinzhao released her soft hand with his right hand, but still held one of her gray silk feet, his palm caressing the warm and delicate sole.

"You insolent lackey!"

Xiao Qingyi's cheeks and ears burned. She didn't know how to respond and could only use these cold words to cover up the panic and shame in her heart.
