Fairy, please don't do this!

Xiao Qingyi had just finished bathing and changed into a loose, dark-colored nightgown. The skirt flowed like water, outlining her languid and voluptuous figure.

At this moment, she was sitting upright in front of the dressing table, her cheeks flushed slightly, her dark hair cascading down to her waist, the ends still slightly damp.

"Have you received news from the western border?"

Jing Shu picked up a wooden comb and began to comb her mistress's hair as she replied, "The Marquis of Pingxi has sent word that the invading demon army has been completely annihilated."

Xiao Qingyi asked calmly, "How much damage?"

Jing Shu remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "The Xuanhu Army suffered more than 3,000 casualties and over 10,000 seriously wounded."

Xiao Qingyi parted her red lips slightly: "The deceased will be given a proper burial, and the compensation will be doubled, all from the imperial treasury."

"For those who are seriously injured, the Imperial Medical Academy shall dispatch its best physicians to the Western Frontier, and the necessary medicines shall be procured from the Palace."

Jing Shu replied softly, "Yes, this servant will make the arrangements immediately."

Having said that, he put down the wooden comb, took a piece of white paper with runes printed on it, wrote down what the goddess had just instructed him to do, and then began to perform a magic incantation.

hum-

The white paper, intertwined with spiritual energy, transformed into a paper crane, which fluttered out of the window.

Xiao Qingyi stood up and walked to the window.

The night wind, carrying the chill unique to the North, swept in, ruffling a few stray hairs at her temples and outlining her exquisitely beautiful face.

"The Demon Court's surprise attack on the Western Territory failed this time, and coupled with the failure of the Cangmo Hunting Ceremony, they will probably not let this go easily."

Jing Shu moved gracefully behind him and whispered, "With Your Majesty guarding Cangyue, the Demon Court dares not act rashly."

Xiao Qingyi narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "But Cang Yue is facing not only the Demon Court, but also the Nanzhao Kingdom!"

Jing Shu seemed to have thought of something, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Is Your Highness worried that there might be changes in the matter of Cang Yue renewing the alliance with Nanzhao?"

A thousand years ago, before the three races of humans, demons, and Gu joined forces to suppress the demon race in the Nine Netherworlds, they signed a "Nine Netherworld Covenant".

The covenant states that the three races will unite to fight against the demons and will not invade each other for five hundred years.

Those who violate this rule will suffer the decline of their clan and the extinction of their bloodline!

This contract is not just a piece of paper, but a blood oath contract with the destiny of the three races as the guide and the Heavenly Dao as the witness.

For five hundred years after the three races sealed away the demon race, it was this contract that bound the three races and maintained a superficial peace.

The reason it is only on the surface is that, as time goes by, the conflicts between the three races gradually become apparent, especially between the human and demon races, which have become irreconcilable enemies.

Therefore, when the Nine Netherworld Covenant was renewed, the human race and the Gu race, and the Gu race and the demon race, once again reached an agreement of non-aggression, but the human and demon races refused.

At that time, the representative of the human race was the Great Xia Dynasty, which was at the height of its power and prosperity.

The demon race also established the Demon Court, with countless powerful demons from the three royal families occupying the northern lands!

The two sides fought many battles for control of Kyushu, resulting in bloodshed and widespread suffering.

As for the Nanzhao Kingdom, it did not participate.

Because after the Demon-Sealing War a thousand years ago, the six tribes of the Gu Clan wanted to kill the Holy Maiden because she had become a demon, thus igniting an unprecedented and terrifying war.

As a result, the Holy Maiden's physical body shattered, and her divine soul was sealed.

As for the six tribes of the Gu clan, they also suffered countless casualties, especially the six clan leaders who participated in the great battle, four of whom perished and the other two were seriously injured.

In order to avoid getting involved in the war between the human and demon races, the Gu Clan renewed the "Nine Netherworld Covenant" with both sides.

Xiao Qingyi nodded slightly: "After nearly a thousand years of recuperation, although the Gu Clan has not recovered to its peak, its strength is not to be underestimated."

"Now that the renewal of the Nine Netherworld Covenant is approaching, it would be better if the Nanzhao Kingdom treated everyone the same and refused to sign directly. The problem is that they might side with the Demon Court."

"If that's the case, the Cangyue Dynasty will be attacked from both sides..."

After pondering for a moment, Jing Shu asked softly, "For this renewal of the alliance, who does Your Majesty intend to send to the Nanzhao Kingdom?"

Xiao Qingyi looked up at the boundless starry sky: "Gu Jinzhao and Tantai Xuanji!"

……

Si Ruoyu had a dream!

I dreamt that Gu Jinchao's true yang fire was out of control, and I needed her help to harmonize it.

She was very anxious.

Because the other party was injured and unable to move, they were unable to absorb yin energy at all.

Most importantly, because its meridians have just been connected, spiritual power and true essence cannot circulate. Even if it can absorb yin energy, it cannot blend with yang fire.

Seeing Gu Jinzhao's pained expression, Si Ruoyu felt a pang of heartache.

Especially given the severity of his injuries, his forehead veins bulged, his skin was burning hot and red, and even his breath seemed to carry sparks, making him look like a boiled shrimp.

"We can't delay any longer!"

"Otherwise, Chao'er will be burned alive."

Si Ruoyu was extremely anxious. She quickly wrapped her right arm around the back of his neck and ripped open the diagonal opening of his nightgown with her left hand, causing the straps of his bra tied behind his neck to break as well.

In an instant, her soft, fragrant body was exposed to the air, rippling like water.

But suddenly, she stopped moving.

Since Mu Yiren and Lin Qingci are also there, they can come to help as soon as you call them.

But didn't she herself say she was going to get involved herself?

Since she has accepted Gu Jinzhao's feelings and is by his side, why should she rely on someone else?

How can a person be so inconsistent in their words and deeds?

Thinking of this, Si Ruoyu gritted her teeth and pulled Gu Jinzhao into her arms...

Chapter 448, "Aunt Ruo, stop feeding me, I can't eat anymore!" (3K)

Gu Jinzhao also had a dream.

To dream of your own yang energy transforming into fire requires the mingling of yin energy.

But because of the severity of his injuries, he was unable to move and could only lie in bed watching Aunt Ruo with longing eyes.

Aunt Ruo felt sorry for him and took the initiative to pick up a crimson pearl filled with yin energy and feed it to him.

As yin energy is absorbed, the burning sensation in the body gradually lessens.

The problem is that since the meridians have just been connected, spiritual power and true essence cannot be used.

Therefore, it is impossible to operate the True Yang Sword Technique to combine Yin and Yang energies.

As a result, his spiritual palace gradually filled up, and his belly began to swell, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Jinzhao, still half asleep, frowned, smacked his lips, and mumbled incoherently, "Aunt Ruo, please stop feeding me... I can't eat anymore!"

Snap—Snap—Bang!

As soon as the words were spoken, spiderweb-like cracks suddenly appeared in the dream, and then it shattered abruptly.

Si Ruoyu opened her beautiful eyes, her expression slightly bewildered: "So it was just a dream!"

But the next moment, she sensed something, and her delicate body stiffened slightly.

Looking down, a captivating blush instantly spread across her beautiful and gentle face, reaching her delicate ears.

At this moment, she was lying on her side on the bed, her nightgown half-open, revealing her full, moon-like curves like a scroll painting, captivating the heart and soul.

My gaze gradually moved downwards, and I saw the back of a head.

Then came Gu Jinzhao's baby-like face, as if buried in soft cotton, with only half of his profile showing.

Si Ruoyu's beautiful eyes widened, and she didn't react for a moment.

This scene seems so familiar!

This had happened before when they shared a bed with the child.

However, at that time, although he was asleep, his true yang fire surged violently.

Left with no other choice, she could only draw upon her own yin energy to blend with his.

And now?

Si Ruoyu subconsciously touched his cheek and felt a tremor.

My skin felt incredibly hot, as if it were on fire.

She hurriedly reached out and touched his forehead, where the veins bulged and throbbed like drums. His entire face was flushed red, and even his neck had turned an unnatural crimson.

A faint crimson glow could be seen flowing across his skin, as if something was about to burst forth from his body.

Yang energy transforming into fire?

How can this be?

It should be noted that Gu Jinchao's meridians had just been reconnected, so his spiritual power and true essence could not circulate, and his yang energy was as still as stagnant water. It was impossible for him to have any unusual activity at this time.

'Could it be because in my dream I saw Chao'er transforming his yang energy into fire, constantly transferring the yin energy from my body into his?'

Si Ruoyu suddenly realized what was happening, and her beautiful face turned as red as if it were about to bleed.

Gu Jinzhao had been cultivating the supreme Yang technique, the True Yang Sword Manual, and his body possessed a vast Yang energy that far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Under normal circumstances, although yang energy is abundant, it maintains a delicate balance with yin energy.

Simply put, it means that yang is primary and yin is secondary, like the sun and moon traversing the sky, each following its own path.

However, if a large amount of pure Yin energy suddenly floods in, but Yin and Yang cannot balance and transform in time, this balance will be broken.

When yang energy is stimulated by yin energy, it will not calm down, but will instead go wild like oil being poured on a raging fire!

"Oops……"

Si Ruoyu hurriedly placed her palm on the lower abdomen of the man in her arms, channeling her spiritual power into a vortex in an attempt to retract her own yin energy.

But when the spiritual energy entered his body, Gu Jinzhao's body trembled, and a bright red light shone on his body. A scorching wave of energy suddenly swept out, abruptly repelling her fair and delicate hand.

"Uh……!"

He let out a muffled groan unconsciously, his brows furrowed, and cold sweat poured down his forehead, only to be instantly evaporated by the intense heat.

Its skin had begun to glow with an even hotter reddish-gold color, as if flames were about to burst forth from its pores.

Si Ruoyu grasped his wrist again, carefully sensed it for a moment, and her expression changed immediately: "The Yang Fire is raging, burning the meridians and scorching the veins."

If it is not stopped soon, within half an incense stick's time, Gu Jinzhao's meridians will be completely burned away by the raging yang fire.

Complete loss of cultivation is the least of one's worries; in severe cases, the physical body may spontaneously combust, and the soul may be annihilated.

The task at hand is to awaken Gu Jinzhao and have him circulate the True Yang Sword Technique to refine the almost swollen Yin energy within his body.

Thinking of this, Si Ruoyu quickly patted his back: "Chao'er, wake up!"

Gu Jinzhao's eyebrows twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes, meeting Aunt Ruo's anxious gaze. He subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Suppressing her shame, Si Ruoyu briefly recounted what had just happened: "The true yang fire within you has gone out of control..."

After listening, Gu Jinzhao was slightly taken aback: "How come Aunt Ruo's dream is the same as mine?"

He suspected that the ghost wife might have used some kind of magic, just like last time.

An Wanxi's soft, charming voice echoed in my mind, tinged with a hint of grievance: "This time it's not me!"

“My dear husband is so weak right now that he can’t even mobilize his spiritual power and true essence. If the True Yang Fire gets out of control, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Was it really an accident?

Gu Jinchao was stunned.

Si Ruoyu's words interrupted his reverie: "Forget about dreaming for now, you need to circulate the True Yang Sword Technique and refine the Yin energy in your body."

Gu Jinzhao said with a wry smile, "But I can't use my spiritual power, so how can I circulate my cultivation technique?"

"I will use silver needles to help stabilize your newly restored meridians, so that you can use spiritual power without breaking them."

Si Ruoyu took out a sachet from her sleeve, pointed at it, and hundreds of silver needles shot out, all of them piercing into various vital points on his body.

In an instant, Gu Jinzhao clearly felt his blood and qi surging, and his spiritual power flowing like a river.

He tried to move his body, but it remained stiff and he couldn't move. However, he could feel his hands.
