Fairy, please don't do this!

What's the problem?

Do I need to ask about preferences?

Gu Jinchao was internally ranting, but outwardly replied with a straight face, "I like the five colors: blue, purple, white, cyan, red, and black!"

This was true, so no accidents occurred.

The cold female voice spoke again: "What do you like about the people around you?"

Jing Shu blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed, but still answered honestly, "I like Xiao Chao's gentleness and thoughtfulness!"

This is indeed the reason why she likes Gu Jinchao!

In the Western Regions, how could the demonic poison have been sealed away without the other party's meticulous care and gentle protection?

Gu Jinzhao glanced at the beautiful young woman in his arms, his expression somewhat unnatural: "I like Sister Jing's legs, especially when she wears ice silk stockings."

He felt that this "heart-searching and soul-searching" wasn't meant to create ambiguity, but rather to kill him.

Upon hearing this answer, Jing Shu paused slightly, then subconsciously looked down at her legs beneath her skirt, her beautiful face flushed crimson.

She learned about Gu Jinzhao's peculiar fetish after their last passionate encounter.

She had even promised him that if she were to exorcise the demon poison next time, she would not only wear ice silk stockings, but also change into those shameful clothes.

Although she knew that Gu Jinzhao was making this request on purpose to evoke a sense of shame in her heart so that she wouldn't be consumed by the demonic poison, she still felt extremely embarrassed.

A cold female voice interrupted Jing Shu's thoughts: "What is your most memorable memory of her (him)?"

Jing Shu said softly, "When we were in the Western Region, Xiao Chao exorcised the demon poison for me!"

The cold female voice pressed, "Tell me in detail!"

Can you explain in detail?

Jing Shu blushed instantly, and even her crystal-clear earlobes turned a faint pink from the heat.

But she forced herself to suppress her shyness, and whispered, her voice barely audible: "Xiao Chao helped me seal the seed of demonic poison... and we entwined in the bath until dawn..."

Chapter 422, "Xiao Chao, quickly help me expel the poison!" (3K)

A cold female voice sounded in my ear: "What is your most memorable memory of her?"

Gu Jinzhao looked at the gentle young woman whose face was already flushed with embarrassment, coughed lightly, and then slowly said, "It was also in the Western Region that Sister Jing wore a cheongsam and ice silk stockings, and we were entwined in passionate embrace!"

Jing Shu felt her cheeks and ears burning as she recalled the absurd and chaotic night. She felt both ashamed and indescribably happy.

The embarrassment stemmed from the fact that Gu Jinzhao's words were too direct and expressed extremely intense desire.

Joy comes from the fact that the other person, like oneself, has forever etched that night of passion into the deepest part of their heart.

The cold female voice asked again: "Besides the people around you, who is the person you care about the most?"

Seeing that this wasn't a question that was difficult to ask, Jing Shu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!"

To her, Xiao Qingyi was not only her master, but also her family.

After the Jing family was tragically wiped out, it was not so much that the Xiao family took her in, but rather that Xiao Qingyi saw that she was all alone and helpless, so she made her her personal maid.

Without Xiao Qingyi, she wouldn't be who she is today!

A beautiful, gentle figure flashed through Gu Jinzhao's mind, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face: "The person I care about most is Aunt Ruo!"

To him, Si Ruoyu was like a mother and an aunt!

During that harsh winter, it was Aunt Ruo who saved him and brought him back to Baicaotang, where she raised him.

If it weren't for Aunt Ruo, I probably would have died in the cold winter long ago.

The cold female voice appeared again: "You have passed the test of questioning your hearts and souls. You may now enter the blessed land!"

As soon as he finished speaking, ripples appeared at the end of the suspension bridge, forming a snow-white curtain of light.

"Let's go, Sister Jing!"

Gu Jinzhao and Jing Shu exchanged a glance, then stepped inside hand in hand.

The moment you touch the light screen, it feels like passing through a warm film of water.

A hazy, dreamlike feeling washed over me, and when I looked up again, I found myself in a world that seemed like a dream.

A bright, snow-white moon hangs high in the sky, adorned with countless stars.

The ground was covered in soft snow, and the purple bamboo swayed gracefully all around, rustling softly.

In the center, a white jade spring shimmers with a milky white halo.

The spring water is like solidified fat, shrouded in a milky white halo, and the rising steam turns into a thin veil of mist that shimmers with iridescent colors under the starlight.

Jing Shu's beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder: "Is this the spiritual spring that Xiao Chao mentioned?"

Gu Jinzhao nodded slightly: "Ancient books record that the place where the spiritual spring is nurtured is where the Milky Way flows quietly and the purple bamboo murmurs softly!"

"It was simply transformed into a small world by a powerful being with supreme divine abilities, and used as his residence."

"Is this powerful being a woman?"

Jing Shu looked to the left of the Spirit Spring, where there was a pavilion, a stone table, a dressing table, and a bed.

There were even a few chairs woven from rattan on the side.

Gu Jinzhao smiled and replied, "Indeed, she is a woman, but I do not know her name. I only know that people call her the Fairy of the Mortal World."

Jing Shu seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Could it be that mortal fairy who was once hailed as the successor of the Sage of Fate in ancient times?"

"It really is her!"

Gu Jinzhao gave a soft "hmm".

According to what he learned in the game, there are three people in the Path of Destiny who are remembered by sorcerers who practice the art of cause and effect in the present world.

Firstly, the founding ancestor of the Mandate of Heaven lineage, the Sage of Destiny.

Secondly, the mortal fairy who takes the art of cause and effect and fate, based on the inheritance left by the Sage of Fate, uses the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to build a cultivation framework and forges it into the "Catalogue of Heaven and Earth Arts"!

This book, "The Canon of Heaven and Earth Techniques," was once the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Mandate lineage, or rather, the source of their practice of causal destiny techniques.

Later, due to differences in cultivation methods, the Heavenly Mandate lineage gradually diverged, eventually splitting into the Heaven and Earth sects.

As for the third one, it is Xuan Ye, the previous Director of the Imperial Observatory of the Cangyue Dynasty and also the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect!

This person is too mysterious.

Gu Jinzhao didn't know much about him.

All that is known is that his mastery of the Heavenly Mandate Dao is unfathomable, not only able to kill the Earth Sect Master and manipulate the Underworld God Sect, but also that he would appear in Qingyun City to help Aunt Ruo suppress the Xuan Yi within her body!

Furthermore, by using the two semi-divine artifacts, the Earthly Branches Mirror and the Heavenly Stems Mirror, he intertwined the fates of him, Yuechu'e, and Xiao Qingyi.

To this day, he still does not know what Xuan Ye intends to do.

Jing Shu moved gracefully to the glass bed, looked at it, and then sat down in front of the dressing table. Seeing a bronze mirror and a jade comb, she couldn't help but sigh:

"I never expected that this paradise on earth would be the former residence of the fairy maiden of the mortal world."

She paused, her expression slightly strange: "If that's the case, why did she set up that suspension bridge that requires men and women to support each other to cross?"

Thinking of the Crimson Lotus Sword in his martial uncle's hand, Gu Jinzhao couldn't help but remark, "Maybe she likes playing matchmaker!"

If it weren't for this sword, he and Yu Fengzhi wouldn't have had so many misunderstandings, which directly affected his plan to jump ship.

"Huh?" Jing Shu suddenly noticed something embedded in the bronze mirror: "Why is there a jade talisman inside this bronze mirror?"

What comes into view is a glass jade talisman engraved with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, seemingly integrated with the bronze mirror, and it's unclear how it was placed inside the mirror.

She tried to retrieve it with her spiritual power, but found herself blocked by countless points of starlight, unable to touch the jade talisman at all.

Gu Jinzhao also came forward and expressed his guess: "This should be the most profound [Heavenly Escape Talisman] in the Heavenly Mandate Path!"

Although it was described as a guess, he actually already knew that the Fairy of the Mortal World's residence not only contained a spiritual spring, but also this most valuable treasure.

Why do I say that?

Because the [Heavenly Escape Talisman] is a celestial-grade talisman crafted by the Fairy of the Mortal World, it allows the user to escape into the world, making it difficult for even a first-grade Dao Integration Realm cultivator to detect.

Of course, it can only be used three times, after which it will break.

Gu Jinzhao came to Fengxue Mountain not only to soak in the spiritual spring to improve his cultivation and expand his spiritual talisman, but also to obtain this talisman.

After all, because of the matter of the [Prison Dragon Vein], Shi Youming had already harbored murderous intentions towards him, this variable, and might come knocking on his door at any time to kill him and steal his fortune.

In addition, he also offended the Zen master to death.

Faced with the covetous eyes of two high-ranking officials, one must always prepare some trump cards to save one's life.

Jing Shu asked, "How can we obtain this item?"

"The Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches symbols inside the bronze mirror will generate 108 different variations depending on the time of day."

"To extract the [Heavenly Escape Talisman] from it, all these changes must be unified."

Gu Jinzhao recalled memories from the game, narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised his hand to trace on the bronze mirror.

At first, the movements were extremely slow, and the runes in the mirror seemed to sense something, slightly changing the speed of their flow.

Gradually, his movements quickened, his fingertips creating subtle afterimages of spiritual light, tracing mysterious and obscure paths in the air.

Jing Shu watched breathlessly from the side!

As he guided the runes in the mirror with his fingertips, they gradually converged and condensed from their myriad variations.

Sometimes it flows like a hundred rivers suddenly converging, and sometimes it shifts like stars returning to their places.

At this moment, Gu Jinchao was completely focused!

The memories in my mind were slowed down, and I gradually caught that fleeting moment of "returning to one place". My index finger suddenly touched the center of the bronze mirror.

hum-

All the runes in the mirror suddenly froze. The [Heavenly Escape Talisman] had somehow moved from inside the mirror to outside and was now floating in mid-air.

Gu Jinzhao let out a long breath and slowly put away the jade talisman: "Fortunately, there was no mistake, otherwise this bronze mirror would have shattered directly, and the Heavenly Escape Talisman would have disappeared into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, making it impossible to retrieve!"

Despite his relaxed demeanor, he had to start over countless times in the game before finally obtaining the [Heavenly Escape Talisman].

"uh-huh!"

Jing Shu was about to say something when her expression changed, and she let out a muffled groan.

A thick cloud of black energy rose from between her brows, and her once gentle and warm eyes instantly became bloodshot, radiating a cold and fierce aura.

"The demonic poison has taken effect?"

Gu Jinchao's gaze sharpened, and he raised his hand to grasp that fair wrist, spreading his spiritual sense to perceive its contents.

As he said, the seal that suppressed the seed of demonic poison had been broken, and strands of demonic poison, like spider webs, were spreading throughout his body along his meridians.

Jing Shu exuded a strong killing intent, and her gaze toward the man in front of her became increasingly cold and piercing. Her soft hand subconsciously rose up, and she had an impulse to twist his neck.

"I'm losing control... Xiao Chao, please help me expel the poison!"

"it is good!"

Gu Jinzhao took a deep breath, pulled the beautiful young woman in front of him into his arms, and captured her cherry lips, which were painted with light lip rouge.

"Well……"

A faint blush spread across Jing Shu's flawless face, and her slender hand instinctively pressed against his chest.

The sweet fragrance, like orchids and bamboo, wafted over, intertwined with a delicate and soft touch, making Gu Jinzhao's heart flutter.

But he forcibly suppressed this restlessness, kissing Jing Shu's lips while circulating the True Yang Sword Technique.

hum-

The true yang fire gradually entered her body, enveloping the demonic poison that had seeped into her meridians, and began to burn and soothe it.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the wisps of demonic poison turned into sweat and were forced out of the body.

But one could still sense that cold and ferocious aura. Clearly, the seed of demonic poison was devouring Jing Shu's human emotions and desires, turning her into a half-demon who only knew how to kill.

Gu Jinzhao narrowed his eyes slightly and pinched the round, perky buttocks wrapped in the palace dress.

"Hmm~"

Jing Shu's delicate body trembled, and the murderous intent in her pair of bright eyes dissipated slightly. She couldn't help but open her red lips and utter a sweet, fragrant sachet.
