Fairy, please don't do this!

Lin Qingci's gaze finally settled on the seemingly calm lotus pond.

The pool water appeared somewhat murky under the moonlight and icy mist, making it impossible to see the bottom.

Several large lotus leaves floated on the water's surface, their shadows indistinct.

'Could it be hidden beneath the pond?'

The thought made her heart tighten, and her gaze sharpened as she scanned the water's surface inch by inch.

A hint of panic flashed in Yuechu'e's eyes. She slightly propped herself up, scooped up a handful of cool water from the pool, and slowly poured it down her snow-white neck.

The crystal-clear water flowed down her beautiful collarbone, across her high and full breasts, and finally merged into the pool at her waist.

Ripples spread out, stirring the already murky pond water and also causing the lotus leaves floating on the surface to move.

In an instant, the lotus leaves swayed, the water rippled, and the pond water appeared even more murky and indistinct, making it impossible to tell whether a person was hiding underwater.

Upon seeing the voluptuous body emerging from the water, Lin Qingci pursed her lips and involuntarily looked down at her own chest and buttocks.

It is obvious that, in terms of both size and shape, she is far less plump and full than Lady E in the water, as ripe as a peach.

But it's okay, there's still room for me to grow.

By the time she grows up, Yuechu'e will have aged and lost her beauty, and she certainly won't be as good as her!

Realizing her thoughts had strayed, Lin Qingci forcibly suppressed them, focused her attention once more, and looked into the pool.

This time, under the faint moonlight, she seemed to vaguely see a shadow slightly darker than the surrounding water beneath the surface of the water near Yuechu'e.

Are they rocks at the bottom of the water?

Or is it a person who has sunk underwater?

Lin Qingci squinted, trying to see more clearly.

Upon noticing this, Yuechu'e panicked and, without thinking too much, straightened her chest and lifted her buttocks to suppress the shadow.

Chapter 55, Yuechu'e's Shame (3K)

(o_0)!

As everything went black, Gu Jinzhao was completely dumbfounded...

Just then, perhaps due to a mental shock, Yuechu'e lost control of Huangyan.

In an instant, wisps of fiery poison surged forth like wild horses.

Gu Jinchao felt an indescribable heat instantly sweep over his entire body.

My blood was boiling, and my throat was as parched as a desert after a long drought.

He instinctively opened his mouth, trying to inhale a breath of cool air.

However, he was greeted with icy pool water poured directly into his mouth.

A faint earthy scent mingled with the delicate fragrance of lotus, along with an indescribable rich and subtle aroma.

Gu Jinzhao choked a little, but he couldn't care less about that now. He quickly activated the True Yang Sword Technique and began to refine the Phoenix Flame to prevent the fire poison from corrupting his mind.

Outside the lotus pond, with Yuechu'e blocking her view, Lin Qingci couldn't see anything and felt somewhat helpless.

She wanted Yuechu'e to move aside, but dared not utter a sound.

To find out whether there are any people hiding in the pool, we can only dive into the water.

But doing so will definitely be discovered.

For a moment, Lin Qingci didn't know whether to leave the bamboo forest or continue searching.

In contrast, Yuechu'e was completely frozen in place.

Her beautiful face was flushed, her head was slightly raised, and her long eyelashes trembled gently.

My mind was in complete turmoil.

Embarrassment, embarrassment, disbelief, and a touch of unprecedented heat.

How dare Gu Jinchao do such a thing, especially in front of Lin Qingci?

Lin Qingci seemed to notice Yuechu'e's unusual behavior, and her gaze, which was originally on the lotus pond, shifted to her.

For some reason, she felt that Yue'e was acting strangely tonight, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

After a moment's thought, Lin Qingci ultimately chose to leave the bamboo forest.

'It's impossible for my senior brother to be hiding in the pond; perhaps I'm just overthinking it.'

'But he's not in the bamboo grove. Where did he go?'

She came secretly, and with the added blessing of the [Night Wanderer's Order], no one could detect her.

How could they possibly have hidden in the pool beforehand?

Thinking this way, Lin Qingci's doubts gradually disappeared.

After leaving the bamboo forest, she returned to the ancient temple and searched every corner, inside and out, where people could hide.

Still nothing.

Gu Jinchao seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"Could it be that Senior Brother has left the ancient temple for some reason?"

Lin Qingci returned to the carriage with a blank expression.

Although there were some doubts, as long as Gu Jinzhao was not with Yuechu'e, it meant that the two of them were indeed innocent.

"Perhaps I'm overthinking things and have misunderstood my senior brother and Lady E."

She sighed softly, feeling that she had become somewhat suspicious because of her past life's affair with Yiren.

What Lin Qingci didn't know was that she had only just left.

With a splash, Gu Jinzhao emerged from the pool, breathing in the fresh air.

With his mid-stage eighth-rank cultivation, he could stay in the water for several hours even without breathing.

But the series of unexpected events just now, especially the suffocating shock at the end, made Gu Jinzhao unable to hold back.

An Wanxi suddenly blurted out, "Can my little husband taste whether it's salty or bland?"

"Cough cough..."

Gu Jinzhao was immediately speechless: "Where did you learn these lewd remarks?"

He felt that his wife was becoming increasingly strange, saying all sorts of things.

An Wanxi's voice was languid and innocent: "Naturally, it's in the miscellaneous books in my little husband's room."

"I flipped through some of those books when I was bored, like 'The Romantic Scholar and the Beautiful Woman' and 'The Beauty Adds Fragrance to the Night for Dual Cultivation,' and I actually learned quite a few interesting words."

"Never mind, I didn't ask!"

Gu Jinzhao was speechless.

He did buy those books, but he did so to see if he could make some money through vernacular novels.

I never expected that this world would have such a wide variety of books.

Especially those with color; even he felt inferior when he saw them.

Seeing Gu Jinzhao emerge, Yuechu'e suppressed her shame and slowly said, "Continue refining the Phoenix Flame!"

She didn't mention what had just happened, naturally to avoid making things awkward for both of them.

"We still need to set up restrictions in the future!"

"Otherwise, something bad will happen one day."

Gu Jinzhao coughed lightly and slowly began to circulate the True Yang Sword Technique.

When Yuechu'e thought about what had just happened, she felt her cheeks and ears burning, and couldn't help but glare at him: "Wasn't it you who brought her here?"

Gu Jinzhao refused to take the blame: "It's because you invited me so frequently every night that she became suspicious."

"Young Master Gu previously said that his relationship with your junior sister was completely innocent."

"I am indeed innocent, it's just that my junior sister is worried that I've been seduced by the madam!"

"Young Master Gu cultivates the Dao of Destiny; who can deceive you?"

"It wasn't a deception based on schemes, but rather on physical beauty."

"Pah... Shameless!"

"Ha ha……"

After a back-and-forth verbal exchange, the two finally felt less awkward.

Gu Jinzhao took a deep breath and changed the subject, saying, "Is Madam going back to Yujing City this time?"

Yuechu'e nodded slightly: "I'll go back to handle some matters, and then I'll return to Qingzhou. I won't go back there again."

The most important thing right now is, of course, to refine the Nirvana Phoenix Flame and advance to the second rank as soon as possible.

Therefore, she naturally had to stay in Qingzhou.

After all, Gu Jinzhao is right here; it's impossible for him to go to Yujing City in Zhongzhou to look for her.

Gu Jinzhao seemed to have thought of something and said, "I have something I'd like to ask for your help with, Madam!"

Yuechu'e gently raised her hand, her demonic power surging in her palm as she controlled the wisp of Nirvana Phoenix Flame: "What is it?"

Gu Jinzhao pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "In Yujing City, there is a small family called the Shao family that will suffer a misfortune and decline."

"The person I want Madam to find is the third son of the Shao family, named Shao Baxing!"

Yue'e asked, "And then what happens after we find it?"

Gu Jinzhao smiled and said, "I can send someone to provide some assistance and cultivation resources, but remember not to use the name of the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce, and do not reveal our names."

Yue'e asked with some confusion, "Why is that?"

We've already helped them, so why can't we reveal their names?

Gu Jinzhao's expression was somewhat strange: "Because this person has a very special constitution, anyone who is grateful to him will suffer misfortune."

That's right, this is the "poisonous milk" constitution!

This Shao Baxing is true to his name; he's a jinx reincarnated.

He was also an Easter egg in the game.

When Gu Jinzhao found such an oddball, he almost couldn't hold back.

However, if the "jinx" is used well, it can become a true "lucky star".

Gu Jinzhao's idea was simple: to use his "poisonous milk" constitution to poison all his enemies.

Upon hearing this, Yuechu'e's beautiful face showed a hint of astonishment: "How can there be such a constitution in the world?"

Gu Jinzhao smiled and said, "The world is full of wonders, and you may see even more strange physiques in the future, Madam."

Yuechu'e was also very clever, and immediately figured out what he wanted to do: "Does Young Master Gu want to reveal the name of his opponent to him after rescuing Shao Baxing?"

Gu Jinzhao's smile was somewhat sinister: "Tell Shao Baxing that the person who saved him was Wan Qingsong, the fourth elder of the Qingyun Sect!"

Ten thousand green pines!

In order to break through the Demon-Suppressing Tower of the Qingyun Sect and open the passage to the Nine Netherworld, this undercover agent of the Underworld God Cult always secretly plots behind the scenes.

Ultimately, this led to the complete annihilation of the Qingyun Sect.

Gu Jinzhao naturally wanted to get rid of Wan Qingsong, but his cultivation level was not high enough yet, after all, the other party was a genuine fourth-grade divine cultivator.

He was going to cultivate the "Six Elements True Demon Technique" and, in order to sacrifice more evil cultivators, he would soon have to go to the Demon Suppression Division of the Imperial Court.

Therefore, we cannot simply abandon it.

Therefore, Gu Jinzhao prepared Wan Qingsong's first nemesis - Shao Baxing.

Don't you like to cause trouble?

Then I'll make sure you're plagued by bad luck and can't accomplish anything.

Yuechu'e was a little confused: "Wan Qingsong, isn't he your master? Why are you going after him?"
