Fairy, please don't do this!

Gu Jinzhao hooked those two slender legs in his arms, raised his head to kiss her delicate collarbone, felt the smoothness of her skin, and smelled the orchid-like fragrance that belonged only to the young woman in his arms.

"We have no choice but to take the risk and try, otherwise we can't just stay by the Empress's side to force out the poison, can we?"

"But what if Her Majesty suddenly wakes up...?"

Jing Shu's dark hair fluttered in the wind, and the blush spreading across her cheeks became even more vibrant and alluring, adding a touch of charm to her gentle temperament.

She was still sitting in a duck-like position, but her waist was slightly arched, like a taut bowstring.

A pair of jade-colored silk stockings, tightly wrapped, were immersed in the milky white spring water, making her already fair skin appear even more translucent.

Two slender feet dangled in mid-air, the thin straps of the open-toe high heels on the ankles had slipped off, and the shoes swayed gently up and down as if about to fall, revealing the soft red soles of the feet that clung tightly to the stockings, which was extremely tempting.

"That is a problem!"

"How about Sister Jing keeps a close eye on Her Majesty's movements?"

Gu Jinzhao stroked her smooth, jade-like back with his left hand, while his right hand gently massaged her thigh, which was covered in jade-colored silk stockings, feeling the silky smoothness and exquisite beauty.

The mist formed by the spiritual energy before them was extremely dense, to the point that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

But as long as Xiao Qingyi opens her eyes and slightly disperses her divine sense, she will definitely be able to see Jing Shu on the other side at a glance.

Jing Shu pursed her lips, her face flushed, and said, "If I were to spread my divine sense... it would awaken Your Majesty!"

The perception of a perfect, first-class person is not so easy to hide.

What's more, her own empress is a female warrior of this era.

Gu Jinzhao looked up and scanned his surroundings, and suddenly noticed a jade platform in front of him that resembled a bed, which was probably a place for people to rest in the spiritual spring.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, took out a pair of silver-rimmed glasses from the [Earthly Branch Mirror], and handed them over.

"Sister Jing turned around, leaned against the jade platform, and put on these glasses. Even without using her divine sense, she could see through the fog..."

Before she could finish speaking, the delicate young woman before him suddenly tensed, her snow-white neck stretched straight, and her head held high...

Chapter 430, The Incompetent Empress Dowager, the Capable Aunt Ruo [Part 1] (3K)

Inside the side room of the Imperial Observatory!

"Chao'er~"

Inside the bedroom, one could hear the beautiful woman on the bed, her snow-white neck stretched out, softly murmuring as if in a dream.

A blush of peach blossoms spread across her gentle and beautiful face, reaching all the way to her ears, like peach blossoms in full bloom, dazzling and vibrant.

At this moment, Si Ruoyu's expression was hazy, as if she were in a dream. A few strands of her hair clung to her rosy cheeks and were pressed against her moist, thin lips. Her pearly teeth were slightly parted, revealing her fragrant tongue, which was as red as a peony.

The brocade quilt covering her mature and beautiful body rose and fell with her slightly rapid breathing, vaguely revealing her exquisite and alluring curves.

As the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches runes intertwined, the focus that had been lost in his eyes did not return; instead, it gradually turned into chaos until his consciousness was plunged into endless darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, a familiar, gentle voice reached my ears: "Sister Jing, wake up!"

Si Ruoyu slowly opened her beautiful eyes, and what came into view was a handsome face and a slightly worried look in his eyes. She unconsciously called out, "Chao'er?"

Upon hearing this title, Gu Jinzhao's expression stiffened, and he subconsciously pushed the True Yang Sword Technique and the Six Elements True Demon Technique to their limits.

The next instant, the vast true essence within the spiritual palace suddenly surged towards the barrier of the fifth rank of martial arts.

Boom—Crack—Bang!

With a dull, thunderous thud, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the barrier before it shattered completely.

At this moment, his martial arts realm broke through!

Still somewhat bewildered, Si Ruoyu noticed this scene and her beautiful eyes widened in surprise. Her cheeks flushed crimson, and she even forgot to change her address: "Chao'er...you..."

She never expected that she would witness Gu Jinzhao's breakthrough so soon after she took over Jing Shu's body!

This should have been a good thing!

However, because Gu Jinzhao was in a dazed state during his breakthrough, his True Yang Fire was out of control and instantly transformed into a raging inferno that engulfed everything.

Si Ruoyu's body stiffened, her head was raised high, and her eyes instantly lost their luster.

I don't know how much time has passed!

Gu Jinzhao snapped out of his daze and looked at the gentle young woman who had collapsed into his arms. He quickly asked with concern, "Ruo... Sister Jing, are you alright?"

It was obvious that Sister Jing had fallen into a coma due to the poison she had just expelled.

Because of the method of grafting cause and effect, Aunt Ruo's consciousness entered her body.

This is the same as last time!

The difference this time is that the Empress Dowager was also present.

He had originally intended to have Jing Shu bathe Xiao Qingyi as soon as possible, then let her leave, and continue to seal the seed of demonic poison in the spiritual spring, while also breaking through to a higher realm!

Unexpectedly, the other party fell asleep in the spiritual spring.

Left with no other choice, he and Jing Shu came to the other side, where they forced out the poison while cultivating.

But Jing Shu couldn't hold on!

The forced application of the causal grafting method pulled Aunt Ruo's consciousness in the opposite direction, causing her to bear this wave of causal consequences that she should not have had to endure.

'What kind of mess is this?!'

Gu Jinchao felt a buzzing in his temples.

At this moment, a soft and charming voice came from within her mind: "Don't panic, my little husband, just continue to treat Aunt Ruo as Jing Shu!"

Gu Jinzhao said with a hint of helplessness, "That's the only way."

He knew that the woman in front of him, Jing Shu, was Aunt Ruo. Aunt Ruo had also discovered that he knew about this matter before, but the two of them had kept it a secret and had not brought it up.

They also agreed that during the next purification ritual, she could pretend to be "Aunt Ruo" so that he could vent his inappropriate desires.

I never expected that a second time would come so soon, and at such an absurd and embarrassing time.

An Wanxi said softly, "What my little husband should worry about is that the Empress Dowager may wake up at any time, and the seed of demonic poison in Jing Shu's body has not yet been suppressed."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinzhao raised his hand and grasped Jing Shu's soft hand. He sensed that although the seed of demonic poison had been suppressed, it had not yet been sealed away, and he immediately frowned.

"Wouldn't that mean we'd have to exorcise the demon poison from Aunt Ruo again in front of the Empress?"

His method for suppressing the seed of demonic poison was very simple!

The True Yang Fire burns away the demonic poison released when the seed of demonic poison erupts, turning it into sweat and expelling it from the body.

In this way, the seed of demonic poison will be continuously weakened until it can no longer cause trouble, and then it can be sealed away.

The problem is that the seed of the demonic poison originated from that Xuanming demonic mosquito, which was at the second-grade perfection level.

The demonic energy it contains is extremely terrifying. Each outbreak requires at least two exorcisms to completely remove the demonic poison.

It is because of this that the method of grafting cause and effect can succeed, allowing Aunt Ruo to bear the other half of the cause and effect for Jing Shu.

Just as Gu Jinzhao was lost in thought, Si Ruoyu gradually came to her senses. Suppressing her shame, she looked at the handsome man in front of her and asked, her face flushed, "What... should we do now?"

Through the method of causal grafting, she has already understood her current situation.

The demonic poison in Jing Shu's body has not been completely expelled, so the seed of the demonic poison cannot be sealed.

In other words, we have to do it again.

But coincidentally, the Empress Dowager was also in the Spirit Spring.

Gu Jinzhao asked in surprise, "Can Sister Jing see me?"

He is empowered by the [Heavenly Escape Talisman] and is currently invisible. Even if Aunt Ruo knows of his existence, she shouldn't be able to see him.

Si Ruoyu's cheeks flushed, her eyelids lowered, and her expression was quite unnatural: "Perhaps it's because our karma is... interconnected!"

Right now, she was wearing an extremely revealing strapless bodycon dress, sitting in Gu Jinzhao's lap, her arms wrapped around his neck, and her two thin-stockinged legs hooked around his arms.

She knew about the child's unusual fetish. He made Jing Shu wear this kind of clothing and ice silk stockings. Although she was a little embarrassed, she wasn't too surprised.

This time, however, she was wearing a pair of open-toe high heels, which not only exposed the instep but also the arch of her foot.

In addition, the silk stockings and high heels were soaked in spring water, and when worn, they felt like walking on ice, cool and silky, which inevitably gave rise to an indescribable sense of shame.

"cause and effect?"

Gu Jinzhao noticed that Aunt Ruo was acting strangely, so he lowered her legs, which were covered in thin silk, to avoid making her too embarrassed.

Perhaps it was a method of grafting cause and effect, which linked the cause and effect of the three people together, that allowed Aunt Ruo to see herself.

But why can't Jing Shu see it?

Could it be because she didn't cultivate the Path of Destiny?

Si Ruoyu pursed her lips and gently reminded her, "Now is not the time to dwell on this!"

"Sister Jing is right!"

Gu Jinzhao coughed lightly and returned to the main topic: "Her Majesty is asleep now. With the blessing of the [Heavenly Escape Talisman], and the fact that this place is shrouded in thick fog, we should be able to deceive everyone!"

Si Ruoyu almost mispronounced the title again, but thankfully corrected herself in time: "Chao... Xiao Chao means, to continue forcing out the poison behind the Empress Dowager's back?"

Gu Jinzhao nodded slightly and said seriously, "That's right!"

"After all, the demonic poison in Sister Jing's body is still causing trouble, and we need to expel the poison again before we can seal it off."

"If we don't press on with our momentum, they might make a comeback."

"At that point, things might get complicated..."

Si Ruoyu fell silent upon hearing this.

She knew Gu Jinzhao wasn't lying.

After all, he had now taken over Jing Shu's body and could sense that although the seed of demonic poison had been dormant under the burning of the true yang fire, it was still waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Even now, after only a brief respite, that fierce and bloodthirsty thought has begun to spread again.

Thinking of this, Si Ruoyu forcibly suppressed the embarrassment in her heart and whispered, "But Your Highness is, after all, a Dao Integration cultivator who has reached the first-grade perfection, and your senses are extremely sharp."

"If she wakes up during the process of expelling the poison, she will definitely see us!"

"But we cannot spread our spiritual senses to constantly monitor the Empress..."

Gu Jinzhao handed her the silver-rimmed glasses from earlier, interrupting her: "These glasses can penetrate the spiritual mist and allow you to see the scene on the other side!"

"In this way, as long as Sister Jing supports that jade platform, with her back to me and facing the Empress, she can observe whether the Empress is showing any signs of waking up, even without using her divine sense."

There are two pairs of glasses, one with a gold frame and the other with a silver frame. They were made by the ghost wife to match his office lady uniform and please him.

Because a material called "Void Illusion Stone" was added during the refining process, it is able to see through some simple illusions and miasma.

I never expected it would come in handy today.

Si Ruoyu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the pair of silver-rimmed glasses, putting them on.

The frames are lightweight and fit snugly against the bridge of the nose.

Behind the thin lenses, her already bright and clear eyes appeared even more lustrous, and the way they moved added a touch of refined elegance to her gentle and dignified demeanor.

She was wearing a strapless bodycon dress that accentuated her alluring curves.

The jade-colored silk stockings on her legs were soaked and clung tightly to her skin until they disappeared into a pair of light blue open-toe high heels.

This alluring yet restrained charm instantly stirred Gu Jinzhao's heart, and his gaze involuntarily fell on her tightly pursed, moist lips, his cheek slowly drawing closer.

Si Ruoyu felt that hot breath, her heart suddenly raced, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

The words of Tantai Xuanji involuntarily came to mind: "Senior sister can try to accept Gu Jinzhao's feelings!"

"Only when you stop viewing this love as an immoral sin and resist its existence, but instead face it openly and even allow it to take root in your heart, will the bond between you two not be exploited."

Get involved yourself!

This is the only way to break free from the karmic entanglement of unwanted romantic advances!

Si Ruoyu stared intently at his handsome face as he approached, her heart filled with ripples of emotion.

There was shyness and struggle, as well as guilt towards Mu Yiren and Lin Qingci, but in the end it all turned into a hazy tacit consent.

At that moment, Gu Jinzhao kissed him.

The moment their lips touched, both of their eyes trembled.

Seeing that Aunt Ruo did not resist, Gu Jinzhao couldn't help but kiss her soft red lips, savoring her sweet, orchid-like fragrance.
