Fairy, please don't do this!

She seemed unable to bear the scene before her and turned to rush out the door.

Si Ruoyu hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her wrist tightly.

Just as I was about to explain, I woke up from the dream.

At this moment, Gu Jinzhao, who had just turned around, seemed to see something he shouldn't have, and suddenly turned back.

Si Ruoyu felt something was strange and was about to ask when she suddenly felt a chill on her body.

She looked down!

But her nightgown was already open, revealing glimpses of her exquisite and curvaceous figure.

The pale white fabric at the front of the dress partially concealed two full, high mounds underneath, like looking at flowers through the mist; the more hazy it was, the more alluring it became to want to lift the veil.

Because she was turned to the side, her back and waist were fully exposed, and her buttocks, which were partially covered by the moon-white silk, were outlined in a round, peach-like curve.

Si Ruoyu blushed and quickly pulled her clothes tighter to cover up the exposed skin.

"Aunt Ruo, I'll go prepare breakfast!"

Gu Jinzhao only said this in a hurry before leaving the room.

Si Ruoyu watched his slightly hurried back, her cheeks and ears burning hot, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

After a long while, she finally composed herself and changed into a light blue, elegant long dress.

As if suddenly remembering something, she picked up a wooden basin, went outside, filled it halfway with water, then returned and took out the lotus-carp-shaped ornament from the deepest part of the bed. She rolled up her sleeves, preparing to wash it quietly.

Not long after, the door was gently pushed open.

A clear, melodious voice then rang out:

"Aunt Ruo, are you feeling any better?"

Upon seeing Mu Yiren, Si Ruoyu's expression flashed with a hint of barely perceptible panic, before she revealed a gentle smile: "Thanks to your care this morning, I'm much better now."

"What about others?"

Mu Yiren's gaze swept lightly across the room.

Si Ruoyu subconsciously tried to hide the small garment in her hand: "He went to prepare breakfast."

"Aunt Ruo has just recovered and should rest more."

"I'll wash these clothes for you."

Mu Yiren, however, was quick-witted and nimble. Before she could react, she had already reached out and gently pulled the undergarment away.

Si Ruoyu's heart tightened, and she quickly tried to retrieve it: "I can do it myself..."

Mu Yiren had already grasped it in her hand and asked, "Is there anything else that needs washing? Give it to me as well."

Si Ruoyu felt her heart pounding in her chest, but fearing that excessive refusal would arouse suspicion, she forced herself to remain calm and shook her head: "No more..."

"Then Aunt Ruo, please rest well. I'll go wash up now."

Mu Yiren gently gave a word of advice before turning and leaving.

Si Ruoyu bit her lower lip lightly, but ultimately did not chase after her.

She had already quickly washed and rubbed the area, so Mu Yiren probably wouldn't notice anything unusual.

Chapter 99, "Is your Aunt Ruo trying to challenge her husband's weakness?" (3K)

Two days later, Gu Jinzhao received confirmation from the Third Elder, Yun Qihe, that the sect had agreed to let him enter the Demon Suppression Division.

The Grand Elder Chu Wuyai ultimately cherished this promising talent who had the potential to become a sword immortal, and did not want to see his sword heart damaged by going against his own will.

The headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division is located in Yujing City of Zhongzhou, which is the capital of the Cangyue Dynasty.

Gu Jinzhao plans to take the return journey on the Dao Realm's swift Dharma Boat tomorrow, which will save time and avoid many detours along the way.

Night had fallen.

Gu Jinzhao was packing his belongings in the room, putting his everyday clothes and personal items into the Earthly Branches Mirror one by one.

Thump—thump—

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Gu Jinzhao opened the door and saw Lin Qingci standing gracefully outside.

He smiled and stepped aside: "Junior sister, are you here to see me off?"

Lin Qingci entered the room, took out several small porcelain bottles from her bosom, and slowly placed them on the table: "Senior brother will be setting off for Zhongzhou tomorrow, so I have prepared some pills for you."

"This is the [Spirit Gathering Pill], this is the [Barrier Breaking Pill], and this is the [Primordial Essence Cultivation Pill]..."

Gu Jinzhao felt a warmth in her heart: "Thank you for your trouble, Junior Sister."

"Between us... is there any need for these polite words?"

Lin Qingci gave him a light reproachful look, her eyes filled with a hint of affectionate complaint.

Gu Jinzhao could easily understand the deeper meaning behind those words.

This was clearly a reminder to him that their relationship was far from ordinary.

He coughed lightly and said gently, "I appreciate your kindness, Junior Sister."

Lin Qingci sighed softly, "The news of Senior Brother sweeping through the Zen Realm and defeating the Buddhist nuns and disciples must have already reached Zhongzhou."

"Such a young talent, as long as he doesn't die young, will surely rise to great heights and have a bright future."

"In this way, it is inevitable that some people with ill intentions will approach."

"At that time, please be careful to distinguish the truth and avoid being tricked by others."

Gu Jinchao's eyes flickered slightly, and he heard the unspoken meaning in her words: "I have remembered what you said, Junior Sister."

These words, on the surface, were a reminder to be wary of those with ulterior motives, but in reality, they implied that once he entered the Jade Capital City, he might be targeted by those wicked women who lusted after his body, and should not be tempted by beauty.

Lin Qingci looked up at him, her eyes filled with tenderness and reluctance: "When I have achieved success in my cultivation, I will definitely go to the Demon Suppression Division to find my senior brother."

They thought that now that they had broken through the last level, they could take advantage of the momentum and go even further, completely capturing their senior brother's heart and soul and leaving Mu Yiren far behind.

But to my surprise, Gu Jinzhao was leaving so soon.

As a result, the feelings that had just begun to blossom had to endure the torment of being separated by distance.

Most importantly, Mu Yiren will also return to Zhongzhou.

The two will inevitably have more contact in the future, and she will definitely take advantage of the situation...

Therefore, Lin Qingci had secretly decided to raise her cultivation to the seventh rank as soon as possible, and then apply to join the Demon Suppression Division.

Gu Jinzhao saw through her thoughts but did not point them out. He simply said gently, "Then I will wait for you at the Demon Suppression Division, Junior Sister."

"When I'm not around, junior sister, please remember to take good care of Baicaotang in your spare time from your cultivation."

Lin Qingci nodded gently: "Don't worry, senior brother, I will take good care of Aunt Ruo."

Thump—thump—

There was another knock on the door, and a gentle, melodious voice came from inside: "Have you gone to bed today?"

It's Aunt Ruo!

Lin Qingci had much more to say, but she had to stop at this moment.

She stood up and leaned closer, gently pressing her thin, moist lips to Gu Jinchao's lips, leaving a faint fragrance.

"Have a safe journey, senior brother... Qingci will miss you."

After saying that, she went and opened the door.

The door opened, and Si Ruoyu was slightly taken aback when she saw Lin Qingci: "Qingci is here too?"

Lin Qingci smiled and explained, "My senior brother is setting off on a long journey tomorrow, so I prepared some pills for him in case of emergency."

"Aunt Ruo must have something to say to Senior Brother, right? You two chat, I'll go back to my room first."

She gave Si Ruoyu a slight bow, then turned and left.

After watching her figure disappear into the distance, Si Ruoyu then entered the room.

Gu Jinzhao poured her a cup of tea: "Aunt Ruo, is there something you want to tell me?"

After sleeping in the same bed that day, their relationship clearly returned to its former intimacy, even surpassing it before.

Of course, this is on the premise that neither party deliberately mentions the ambiguous relationship between the two times they helped each other.

Si Ruoyu handed over the package: "The weather is getting colder now, so I sewed you some winter clothes."

"Thank you for your trouble, Aunt Ruo."

Gu Jinzhao accepted it, feeling grateful.

Whenever he traveled far away, Si Ruoyu would always prepare clothes and supplies for him, so that he could feel her tender care like that of a loving mother.

Si Ruoyu gently held his hand and softly advised, "The waters of Yujing City are deep and murky, and there are all sorts of people. You must be careful in everything you do."

Gu Jinzhao grasped her soft, boneless hand in return and replied with a smile, "Don't you know my temperament, Aunt Ruo?"

"Plan carefully before acting, and always prioritize stability."

Si Ruoyu gave him a look that seemed both angry and reproachful: "If that's the case, why did you so recklessly block the gate of the Zen Realm that day?"

Gu Jinzhao was speechless for a moment: "Isn't it because...they trampled on the dignity of the Qingyun Sect, and we couldn't stand it, so we came to attack them?"

He did not tell Aunt Ruo that his actions were actually to gain the attention of Empress Dowager Xiao Qingyi and pave the way for his future entry into the imperial court.

Therefore, in Aunt Ruo's eyes, it became youthful impetuosity and reckless behavior.

Si Ruoyu didn't blame her at all, but said gently, "You're still young, and it's inevitable that you'll act impulsively sometimes."

"But in the future, you must think twice before acting, and avoid causing trouble unnecessarily."

Gu Jinzhao smiled and said, "I understand."

"Then you should get some rest."

Si Ruoyu did not linger; after giving a few words of advice, she got up.

But as he reached the door, he paused slightly: "Remember... come back once a month."

"After all, if you cultivate the True Yang Sword Technique, you will inevitably suffer from the disease of Yang energy turning into fire."

Gu Jinzhao was taken aback upon hearing this: "...?"

What does Aunt Ruo mean by that?

The condition of Yang Qi turning into fire definitely needs to be addressed, but Aunt Ruo's words sound as if she is the one who should help solve it.

Just as he was about to ask more questions, Si Ruoyu pushed open the door and walked out.

A faint blush quietly rose on her gentle and stunningly beautiful face, even her crystal earlobes were tinged with a touch of crimson.

Her original intention was for Gu Jinzhao to visit Lin Qingci when he returned.

After all, the two are already Daoist partners, and if their yang energy transforms into fire, Lin Qingci should naturally provide assistance.

The reason she didn't say it directly was that she didn't want Gu Jinzhao to know that she had happened to witness his intimate moment with Lin Qingci that night.

Gu Jinchao watched her leave, his gaze slightly subtle: "What did Aunt Ruo mean by what she just said?"

The ghostly wife emerged gracefully from his shadow, sitting elegantly on a sandalwood chair beside him, looking at him with a half-smile: "Have you forgotten, my little husband?"

"Didn't your Aunt Ruo give you two pieces of clothing that were imbued with her own yin energy to help alleviate your symptoms of yang energy turning into fire?"

Mentioning this, Gu Jinzhao looked slightly uncomfortable: "And then?"

An Wanxi gently lifted her smooth chin with her soft hand, her eyes sparkling: "If I remember correctly, she said that the yin energy attached to clothing could only last for a month."

"If it is not collected by the due date, the yin energy will dissipate."

"She was worried that something might happen to her young husband while he was away, so she specifically asked you to come back once a month so that you could get her new underwear."

"I see." Gu Jinchao felt slightly embarrassed.

Actually, with the ghost bride around, there was no need for Aunt Ruo's clothes to help, but this matter could not be told to her openly.

Speaking of underwear, the image of Aunt Ruo holding a lotus flower and hiding a carp in her hands involuntarily comes to mind that night, and a strange ripple stirs in my heart.

An Wanxi's gaze fell on the bundle on the table: "If I'm not mistaken..."
