Fairy, please don't do this!

Luo Ling'er called out again, "Little Red!"

The red phoenix egg bounced up and down again, very excited.

Luo Ling'er exclaimed excitedly, "Master, look! Little Red is moving!"

She hadn't forgotten how the egg looked when she first found it, barely alive.

Just like that night when the cold wind howled and I almost froze to death in the room.

But now, it has not only come back to life, but is thriving.

Seeing her so happy, Gu Jinzhao smiled and said, "When Little Red hatches, Ling'er can sign a blood pact with it and keep it as her spirit pet!"

Luo Ling'er blinked: "Can't I take you as my disciple?"

Gu Jinchao asked in confusion, "Why take me as a disciple?"

Luo Ling'er pressed her cheek against the eggshell, listening to the heartbeat that filled her with a sense of intimacy, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Because I think that the blood pact is a way to forcibly bind Xiao Hong to my side."

"Ling'er doesn't want to do this, but Ling'er isn't Xiao Hong's mother, so she wants to take it as her apprentice and teach it how to cultivate so that it can survive better."

"Just like when Master took Ling'er as his disciple..."

Gu Jinzhao was taken aback for a moment, then raised his hand to stroke that delicate face, which was the size of a palm, and replied with a smile, "Ling'er, do as you please!"

"Master is so good!"

Feeling the warmth emanating from her master's palm, Luo Ling'er narrowed her eyes into crescent moons.

She seems to enjoy the feeling of being pampered!

Just like when my mother is by my side.

He will always cherish and love her tenderly!

Although my mother is gone, I still have my master...

……

Two days later!

The negotiations between the Demon Court and the Cangyue Dynasty have ended.

To redeem Ao Li, the Demon Court paid a heavy price, including the [True Dragon Spirit Gift] that Gu Jinzhao needed.

Of course, this price also includes compensation to the western border.

Gold, silver, spiritual materials, elixirs, magical treasures... the list was so long that it made the faces of the two emperors of the Demon Court and the high priest turn as black as the bottom of a pot.

Logically speaking, the Demon Court and Cang Yue are no longer allies. Their conflicts are sharp, border frictions are constant, and countless wars, large and small, have broken out.

Even after the defeat, there was never any talk of compensation.

At most, it's a temporary retreat; they'll wait for another opportunity to rise again.

But this time is different.

The eldest princess of the Jiao clan fell into the hands of the other side.

If the Demon Court refuses, given Empress Dowager Xiao Qingyi's ruthless and decisive nature, she might actually kill Ao Li on the spot.

At that time, not only will the Jiao Clan become estranged from the Peng Clan, but the various clans within the Demon Court will also question the Demon Court's authority.

If you can't even protect a princess of your own clan, how can you rule over all demons?

At this moment, a magnificent Dharma ship sailed away from the northern border and sped towards Yujing.

Inside the cabin!

Gu Jinchao sat cross-legged on the soft couch, looking at the gleaming golden orb in his hand, and couldn't help but smile: "I've obtained the True Dragon God's gift!"

"We are still missing seven of the nine materials needed to rebuild the physical body. We can ask the Wanhua Chamber of Commerce to help us find out more."

"In this way, a lot of time can be saved."

An Wanxi sat down beside him, gazing at him softly: "I'm troubling you with my affairs, my little husband!"

With her cultivation level, although she could transform her soul into reality, it still lacked a sense of authenticity, and she couldn't maintain this state forever.

If he could rebuild his physical body, he could openly stay by Gu Jinzhao's side.

Besides, although the two were destined to be together through the "Heart-to-Heart Mantra," they ultimately did not get married and could not be considered a true couple.

Once you have a physical body, you can make up for it.

Not only must they pay homage to heaven and earth, but they must also enter the bridal chamber and give themselves completely to him.

Gu Jinzhao stored the [True Dragon Spirit Gift] into the [Earthly Branches Mirror] before laughing and saying, "Why are we still distinguishing between each other?"

An Wanxi's inner softness was touched, and she leaned forward slightly to kiss his lips.

Faced with his wife's initiative, Gu Jinzhao naturally wouldn't refuse. He directly embraced her alluring waist, captured her fiery red lips, and savored her mature and charming allure.

Lips and teeth intertwined, breaths mingling.

Her gaze gradually became hazy, and a blush spread across her charming and beautiful face, making her incomparably beautiful.

It's unclear how much time passed before the two finally parted ways!

An Wanxi's mature and voluptuous body nestled beside him, her full and soft lips tinged with a shimmering hue: "Tantai Xuanji said that my little husband will soon face a calamity."

“I previously used the [False Fate] method to cast a divination, and the result contained an ominous sign.”

Gu Jinzhao raised an eyebrow: "Can you deduce the specific source of the calamity?"

After the Cangmo Hunting Ceremony concludes, only the trip to Nanzhao will be dangerous.

With Tantai Xuanji, a first-rank official, protecting him, nothing unexpected should happen.

It's not hard to guess that the calamity occurred before the trip to Nanzhao.

But nothing major happened in the game.

As for Luo Yirao, that venomous woman, she might use some means to completely control him during their wedding ceremony.

But Gu Jinzhao had already guessed what she wanted to do, so he didn't think he would suffer any calamity.

If the calamity did not originate from Luo Yirao, then it could only be from the Demonic Sect and the Zen Realm.

After all, both sides had the intention to kill him.

An Wanxi shook her head: "If my four divine souls were united, I could deduce the specifics, but now that I only have one divine soul, I cannot do so."

Gu Jinzhao remained silent for a moment before saying, "It seems I need to advance to the fourth rank as soon as possible."

This is Tantai Xuanji's suggestion!

Her attainments in the Way of Destiny are unfathomable, and it's impossible for her to make baseless accusations.

And he does indeed need to break through to a higher realm as soon as possible.

After all, both Mu Yiren and Lin Qingci had revealed their true colors in their second playthroughs, and without powerful strength, he would have been unable to cope with the unexpected events.

However, his current cultivation level in the Divine Path is stuck at the fifth rank of perfection, not because he lacks sufficient resources, but because his mental state is somewhat lacking.

Gu Jinchao also used the [Earthly Branches Mirror] yesterday to enter the mental realm and temper his mind.

Because the Demoness's identity was exposed, Xiao Qingyi did not enter.

Therefore, one can only challenge one's own mirror image.

After slaying the mirror image, I felt my mental state improved, but I still didn't break through.

Clearly, the improvement from killing the Demoness Xiao Qingyi is not as great!

Most importantly, for the same rank, the effect of killing the mirror image is best the first time, and it will become weaker and weaker afterward.

At this moment, a strange light flashed in An Wanxi's captivating peach blossom eyes: "I have a way to help my little husband break through his mental barrier!"

Gu Jinchao asked, "What method?"

"Enter the real illusion I've created..."

An Wanxi's slender, white fingers traced a pattern in mid-air, forming a purple vortex that gradually enveloped him.

Dear Bodhisattva of Wonderful Desire, I must trouble you again to help my little husband with his cultivation!

Chapter 471, "What is the Bodhisattva waiting for? Why isn't he coming to serve his master?" (3K)

Zen Realm, at the top of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.

A mature woman dressed in a gray-white monk's robe returned to the place and unlocked the eight chains that sealed the bronze coffin.

Rumbling--

With a muffled rumble, the coffin lid was slowly pushed open, revealing the alluring figure inside, draped in a long wisteria dress.

"Has his mad urge struck again?"

An Wanxi awoke from her deep sleep, looked at the female bodhisattva before her, and said with a half-smile.

"Amitabha! Please, Holy Maiden, help us!"

The Bodhisattva of Wonderful Desire clasped his hands together and spoke softly.

Her beautiful eyes, which were originally filled with Buddhist light, had somehow turned a scarlet red.

An Wanxi glanced at her, a seductive smile curving her beautiful lips: "Please, Bodhisattva, seal your cultivation and memories!"

"Don't use the same tricks as last time, or I won't help you anymore."

"That's exactly right!"

Without much hesitation, the Bodhisattva of Wonderful Desire raised her delicate hand and touched her lower abdomen and brow with her fingers, sealing away her memories and cultivation.

"Release your spirit, do not resist my power!"

A deep purple light shone in An Wanxi's beautiful eyes, transforming into a massive vortex that enveloped the two of them.

The next instant, the [Spell of Unity] was cast, and wisteria flowers appeared on each other's chests.

Two vines intertwined and entwined, merging their souls together.

……

At the same moment!

Inside the cabin of the French boat.

The Buddhist nun, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating, suddenly heard a soft, charming voice: "My little husband needs your help to temper his mind!"

Miao Tan opened her eyes, her gaze cold and indifferent, seemingly devoid of any emotion: "What should Miao Nu do?"

An Wanxi chuckled and said, "Just enter the real illusion!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a purple vortex appeared before their eyes.

Miao Tan remained silent for a moment, then slowly got up and went inside.

She knew that the so-called help to temper Gu Jinzhao's mind was to serve the demon with her own body, just like before.

But so what?

Anyway, it's not like it's the first time I've served Gu Jinzhao.

As long as the other party is obsessed with her beauty, they will gradually be corrupted by the "Zen of Emptiness and Form" and eventually be enslaved by her.

Only in this way is there a glimmer of hope to break free from the control of the [Immortal Control Curse].

……

In the middle of a shimmering lake stands a quiet and elegant little house.

The structure is made of bamboo and wood, with bells hanging from the eaves that tinkle softly when the wind blows.

At this moment, a man dressed in black robes is sitting cross-legged on a futon, meditating and cultivating.

His face was handsome and dashing, with long hair loose and falling over his shoulders, like a noble young master from a turbid world.

Suddenly, the man opened his eyes, and some memories surfaced in his mind.

He is Gu Jinzhao, the ninth elder of the Demonic Sect.

With his cultivation at the fifth-grade Yang God Realm, he was just one step away from forming a Golden Core and advancing to the fourth grade.

He is ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
