Fairy, please don't do this!

Although she and the Empress were nominally master and servant, the Empress never treated her as a slave to be used at will, and even taught her martial arts techniques and cultivation resources.

If it weren't for this, there would be no Jing Shu today!

She will always remember this kindness and protection.

That's why, even though they were just separated by a light screen, the shame and fear they felt when they were caught by the Empress together was still extremely intense.

Underwater, Gu Jinzhao held his breath and focused his mind, suppressing his aura to the extreme, and even deliberately slowing his heartbeat.

He sank to the bottom of the spring, and besides the warmth of the water, he could clearly feel the tension and slight trembling of Jing Shu's body.

Fortunately, the spring water was slightly turbid due to the flow of spiritual energy, and with the constantly rising mist, one should not be able to see the underwater scene by looking through the light screen without using one's divine sense.

Just as Gu Jinzhao said, Xiao Qingyi did not notice anything unusual about her personal maid. She simply asked, "This spiritual spring looks quite old, with a rich and pure spiritual energy. It should be able to soothe the mind and combat fatigue."

"Perfect timing. I'm feeling rather agitated tonight, so I'll head to Fengxue Mountain to bathe with you."

Having said that, she put away the Phoenix Token, then gently raised her hand and tore a narrow rift in the space in front of her, stepping straight into it.

"The Empress has torn through the void; she will arrive in less than a moment!"

"How about... we stop the demonic poison's sealing effect first?"

"Xiao Chao, why don't you leave first?"

Jing Shu hurriedly looked at the handsome man underwater.

Gu Jinzhao shook his head: "Now is a critical moment. If we stop, Sister Jing, you might be devoured by the demonic poison, losing all your emotions and desires, and turning into a demon!"

"Besides, it's too late to leave now."

"With Your Highness's cultivation level, you should be almost at Fengxue Mountain by now."

Jing Shu was completely flustered, and tears welled up in her eyes as she asked anxiously, "What should we do?"

If Her Majesty were to see her and Gu Jinzhao alone here, she would probably find it hard to accept.

"Sister Jing, don't forget, I just obtained a [Heavenly Escape Talisman]!"

Gu Jinzhao took a deep breath and quickly took out an ancient jade talisman from his storage ring.

As spiritual energy was injected, countless Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches runes intertwined and swirled, blurring his figure until he completely disappeared into the world.

Of course, it did not disappear, but rather vanished into the world.

Simply put, it's invisibility!

Gu Jinzhao also did not want to use the [Heavenly Escape Talisman].

After all, this is a celestial-grade talisman, which is not only extremely precious, but can only be used three times.

Using it this once means losing one more trump card for survival in the future.

But there was nothing they could do; the Empress had suddenly come to check on them.

If it were discovered that he had an affair with his personal female official, coupled with his previous ambiguous relationship with Luo Yirao, it would definitely anger her and turn her goodwill into hatred.

Then, they were taken to the castration room to be castrated.

Jing Shu paused for a moment, then still felt a little worried: "Can this [Heavenly Escape Talisman] hide from Your Majesty?"

The invisible Gu Jinzhao attempted to use the True Yang Sword Technique: "If Your Majesty does not use the power of the Great Dao, you should not be able to detect me."

"Of course, I still need Sister Jing to cover for me so that nothing unusual will be discovered."

Jing Shu subconsciously placed her slender hand on his chest and glared at him reproachfully: "At a time like this... Xiao Chao, you're still acting recklessly."

Gu Jinzhao supported the slender waist of the beautiful young woman in front of him, and said with a helpless expression, "If we don't do this, how can we suppress the seed of demonic poison?"

"That's still not allowed..."

Just as Jing Shu was about to say something, a ripple spread through the surrounding space.

tear-

Immediately, a deep rift was torn open, and a slender foot wearing golden sky-high heels stepped out, revealing a graceful figure wrapped in a black phoenix robe.

"My lady..."

Jing Shu quickly suppressed her panic and tried to get up to greet him, but as soon as she straightened up, her legs went weak and she sat back down in the spiritual spring.

wow-

Large splashes of water gushed out, the spring water sliding down her fragrant shoulders. The soaked gauze clung to her skin, her full, snowy breasts undulating, and large expanses of her fair, smooth skin were exposed to the air, making her incredibly alluring.

Xiao Qingyi looked at her, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "What's wrong?"

Jing Shu bit her lower lip lightly, her face flushed, and explained, "It's just that I've been soaking in the spiritual spring for a long time, and my body feels a little weak!"

"If that's the case, I will undress myself."

Xiao Qingyi didn't think much of it and slowly untied the black waistband.

Revealing her mature and beautiful body wrapped in a snow-white undergarment, it was both plump and lustrous, yet graceful and alluring.

The front of her dress was stretched into a full, high curve. Although it was not as large and round as An Wanxi and Si Ruoyu's, it had its own graceful and plump appearance.

Her waist was cinched so tightly it could be encircled by a single hand, connecting to her full, peach-like hip curves.

This stunningly beautiful empress dowager possessed a plumpness stemming from the well-proportioned curves of her body, and a graceful charm that lay in the flowing elegance of her posture and demeanor.

At this moment, Xiao Qingyi, who had just unbuttoned her inner garment, paused, her gaze falling on her personal maid: "Why are you wearing such a strange strapless dress and ice silk stockings while bathing?"

Jing Shu's heart skipped a beat. She forcibly suppressed the feeling of shame and quickly explained, "The clothes and ice silk stockings are all made of ice silkworm silk. They feel cool to the touch, like cold jade, but when soaking in the spiritual spring, they feel warm all over!"

"It's like ice and fire blending together... um... this is more comfortable!"

"If that's the case, then I'll give it a try!"

Xiao Qingyi seemed to find it somewhat novel, so she also took off her snow-white inner garment, revealing her mature and beautiful body wrapped in a strapless bra.

Her neck was long and slender like a swan's, her collarbones delicate like butterfly wings, and her full breasts hung high like a full moon.

Her waist and hips were as graceful as a crescent moon, and her legs looked even longer and sexier in black silk stockings.

The hazy moonlight flowed over her body, as if it too adored the perfect proportions of her form, spreading a cool glow across her snow-white skin.

That breathtaking beauty stunned even Jing Shu, who was also a woman, causing her to momentarily lose her focus.

But then he felt the True Yang Fire, which contained the seed of demonic poison, suddenly become extremely intense. His cheeks flushed red, and he quickly transmitted his voice, "What... should we do now?"

"Sister Jing, try to maintain your usual composure and don't panic too much!"

"I have the blessing of the Heavenly Escape Talisman, so as long as Your Majesty does not deliberately try to sense it, you will not be able to detect any clues."

"As for the seed of demonic poison, leave it to me!"

Gu Jinchao lay at the bottom of the spiritual spring pool, slowly circulating the True Yang Sword Technique.

At this moment, he became one with heaven and earth, and his form disappeared.

But in front of this Empress Dowager, he had to hold his breath, for fear of being discovered.

After all, the other party is a Dao Integration cultivator who has reached the first-grade perfection level. Even with the blessing of the [Heavenly Escape Talisman], it is highly likely that they will be discovered.

However, the demonic poison could not be ignored, so it could only be dealt with cautiously.

Xiao Qingyi did not notice anything unusual. She simply bent down and took off her sky-high heels, revealing her flawless bare feet stained with dark purple nail polish, and slowly stepped into the spiritual spring.

The black silk quilt was soaked and clung tightly to her fair, snow-white skin, outlining her plump thighs, supple leg bends, and firm calf curves.

wow-

Ripples spread out, gradually engulfing those sexy, plump legs and her round, peach-like buttocks.

As warmth enveloped her, the gentle flow of spring water seeped into her skin, and Xiao Qingyi felt her pores relax and her blood and energy flow nourished, making her feel extremely comfortable.

The close-fitting clothes made of ice silkworm silk were already cool and smooth. After being soaked in the spring water, they were enveloped in a warm current that seemed to flow like flames. The fusion of ice and fire brought an indescribable enjoyment.

"This spiritual spring must have been nurtured in ancient times, which is why it has such a rich spiritual essence."

"No wonder you couldn't resist taking a bath here, Jing Shu."

"As for what you said, taking a bath while wearing a strapless top and ice silk stockings does indeed have a unique flavor."

"Hmm~ Your Majesty is absolutely right!"

Jing Shu's cheeks flushed crimson, and a soft, seductive moan escaped her lips.

She is currently sitting in a duck-like position.

She tilted her head slightly back, placed her hands into the spring, and arched her waist slightly, creating a firm and supple curve.

Her mature and beautiful body, wrapped in a strapless bodycon dress, rose and fell with the ripples of the water, her full and high breasts like ripe fruit hanging on a tree branch, ready to fall.

Underwater, a pair of jade-like legs wrapped in silk stockings lay flat on the bottom of the spring, with two light blue open-toe high heels pointing upwards, revealing the bright red soles of the shoes.

The delicate, hairpin-like heels swayed gently up and down, causing the tender, rosy heels to sometimes cling tightly to the shoe and sometimes dangle away, making them incredibly alluring.

Xiao Qingyi looked up at her, her face full of suspicion: "Why are you speaking so softly and clingy today, like you've eaten sticky rice cake?"

"Is there...?"

Jing Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she tried her best to regain her usual tone.

However, the blush on her pretty face was even more pronounced, as if she had been adorned with a layer of fine rouge, adding a touch of charm to her gentle and graceful demeanor.

Xiao Qingyi frowned slightly: "Besides that, your complexion is also extremely rosy!"

Jing Shu took a deep breath, forcibly expelling the heat brought on by the exorcising of demonic poison: "Perhaps it's because I've been soaking in the spiritual spring for too long!"

"Help me bathe!" Xiao Qingyi didn't investigate further, but simply turned around, revealing her jade-like back.

The scapula is beautifully shaped like a butterfly wing, and the spinal groove is deep, extending all the way to the waist.

Her waist was slender and supple, without an ounce of excess fat, yet a full and rounded curve suddenly appeared at the junction of her waist and hips.

With a flushed face, Jing Shu took out a cotton towel from her storage ring, gently lifted her hips and slowly propped herself up, and painstakingly wiped the Empress's back.

Why is it considered difficult?

Because at this moment, under the warming heat of the true yang fire, her expression became increasingly dazed, and not only did her delicate body tremble slightly, but even her fingertips were shaking slightly.

Xiao Qingyi asked curiously, "Why are you shaking?"

Jing Shu gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her slender hand grasping a cotton towel, stroking down her smooth shoulder blade: "I was cultivating in the spiritual spring just now, absorbing a lot of spiritual energy, and I'm still refining it now, which has caused my blood and qi to stagnate, resulting in this situation."

Xiao Qingyi seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Has the murderer who slaughtered the entire Jing family been found?"

Jing Shu had been stuck at the third-grade Nascent Soul realm for several years. If it weren't for her obsession, she would have broken through long ago.

As far as she knew, this obsession stemmed from the massacre that wiped out the Jing family years ago.

Jing Shu bent down and wiped the Empress's plump, round, pear-shaped buttocks with a cotton towel, while softly replying, "Fu Yusheng has been found."

Because of this posture, her soft, fragrant breasts wrapped in a strapless bra resembled a ripe, heavy fruit, bending the branches and drooping down.

Enjoying her service, Xiao Qingyi narrowed her pale golden phoenix eyes slightly and asked rather languidly, "Who helped you find it? Why didn't you mention it to me?"

"Commander Gu!"

Jing Shu glanced sideways, feeling a little guilty, and seemed to see the handsome man hidden within the spring.

Noticing her gaze, Gu Jinzhao placed his hands on her slender waist and quickly transmitted his voice, "Jing-jie, don't look at me. It's easy for Her Majesty to become suspicious."

Although Xiao Qingyi is carrying the two of them on her back, how sharp is the perception of a first-grade Dao Integration Realm cultivator?

If they truly discover Jing Shu's unusual behavior and begin searching the bottom of the spring with their divine sense, even those who cannot see her might be able to detect her subtle presence.

That would be a real problem.

Jing Shu's cheeks were flushed, her eyes sparkling with alluring charm, and her body taut as a bowstring: "But I'm afraid... I won't be able to hold on!"

Gu Jinzhao took a deep breath and slowed down the circulation of the True Yang Sword Technique: "Then I will slow down the speed at which I force out the poison!"

The suppression of the Demon Poison Seed must not stop!

Otherwise, Jing Shu would definitely be devoured by her seven emotions and six desires, and directly transform into a demon.

Therefore, from the moment he started until now, he has not stopped using the True Yang Fire to soothe the wound, but he is being very careful, afraid of being discovered in any way.

Fortunately, the spiritual energy within the spring was incredibly rich and belonged to the Yang attribute, thus masking the extremely Yang and strong aura.

Jing Shu's cheeks flushed, her long eyelashes fluttered and relaxed, and her full breasts rose and fell with her rapid breathing: "But this can't go on!"
