A Couple's Bath

Chapter 61 Taking a Bath Together

Beside the Lingquan Pool.

Chu Wanqing moved closer and noticed the abundant spiritual energy within the spring pool, her alluring eyes brightening. She immediately removed her shoes and socks, lifted her skirt, revealing a section of her snow-white calves and exquisite, delicate feet.

Fair-skinned, delicate, and without a single flaw, with faint blue veins on the instep, exuding a fragile beauty.

She gently lifted her skirt and carefully stepped onto the edge of the spirit pool. When her soles touched the cold, sweet water, a refreshing coolness and a rich spiritual energy enveloped her, and a hint of excitement appeared on Chu Wanqing's pale face.

Then, she lifted her skirt, stepped onto the edge of the spirit pool, and walked into the spirit spring.

As they went deeper, the water in the spiritual spring pool gradually deepened, wetting the hem of her skirt and gradually revealing a pair of slender, beautiful legs that were faintly visible beneath it.

As she continued deeper into the pool, the water gradually submerged her skirt, then soaked her waist, hips, and lower abdomen, until Chu Wanqing suddenly leaped into the center of the spiritual spring pool.

She swam like a nimble fish in the pond, creating ripples on the surface.

In the center of the bathtub, a bright red color was extremely eye-catching.

After a while, accompanied by a splash, Chu Wanqing emerged from the water.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down, clinging wetly to her skin, revealing a stunningly beautiful and alluring face. She sat cross-legged in the center of the pool, half-floating, her red dress billowing and dancing in the water.

With each breath, the surging spiritual energy in the spirit spring pool flowed into her body at a visible rate. Chu Wanqing's originally pale face gradually regained some color as the spiritual energy replenished her.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

The spiritual energy within this spring was so abundant that it was practically a rare and sacred place for cultivation. For Chu Wanqing, whose demonic power was exhausted and who was severely injured, it was like a long-awaited rain after a drought.

She couldn't wait to immerse herself in the pool, letting every inch of her skin greedily absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to replenish her body's balance and heal her injuries.

"What are you doing?!"

Suddenly, Li Chuqiu's voice came from the Lingquan Pool.

"How could you soak in the sacred spring while fully clothed? — That's outrageous!"

His voice carried a hint of indignation, as if he was very angry about her actions.

indeed----

To maximize the absorption of spiritual energy from the spring, it is best to be completely naked, allowing your skin to fully and freely contact the spring water.

Wearing clothes would not only significantly reduce Chu Wanqing's absorption efficiency, but the clothing would also disrupt the purity of the spiritual spring pool.

—But, can she even take it off?

Obviously not.

Not to mention that this was unfamiliar territory, and who knew what dangers lurked within. More importantly, there was a man eyeing her menacingly beside her—how could she possibly be naked?

Dream on!

In the spirit spring pool, Chu Wanqing's face flushed slightly. She closed her eyes tightly, bit her lower lip, and forced herself to concentrate on absorbing spiritual energy to heal her injuries, ignoring this guy's harassment.

Li Chuqiu, standing by the Spirit Spring Pool, felt somewhat disappointed to see that this enchantress wouldn't heed his professional advice.

Looking around, they still found nothing unusual. There was such a spiritually rich spring pool here, yet no one was guarding it?

After confirming that there was no immediate danger, and glancing at the demoness who was greedily absorbing spiritual energy while soaking in the spirit spring pool, Li Chuqiu, not to be outdone, leaped into the pool herself.

Let's take a bath together!

The moment he was immersed in the spiritual spring pool, he was enveloped by the rich spiritual energy around him, as if every pore on his body was opened and filled with the continuous flow of spiritual energy.

—It felt like I'd been stabbed right through.

Comfortable!

Even though Li Chuqiu hadn't opened his sea of ​​consciousness and his body couldn't convert spiritual energy into stored spiritual power, this abundant spiritual energy could still quickly help him repair the deficit caused by forcibly breaking into the secret chamber.

After soaking and rolling around in the pool, Li Chuqiu soon felt her body gradually return to its peak condition.

The spiritual energy is so abundant, it's unimaginable who built this spiritual spring pool.

That Prince Jing?

"Splash!"

Li Chuqiu emerged from underwater, creating a large splash.

Just as he stood up, he suddenly saw Chu Wanqing standing right in front of him.

At this moment, the demoness was still sitting cross-legged in the water, an invisible current of energy forming around her, absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding spiritual spring pool.

She seemed to be completely absorbed in meditation, undisturbed by the outside world.

But Li Chuqiu's gaze gradually moved downwards from the enchantress's delicate and alluring face—

Only then did they realize that as the red dress on the demoness's body was soaked by the pool water, the already thin fabric clung tightly to her skin, making her already full breasts even more conspicuous.

ready to come out.

It seems that it can no longer be completely covered.

As we all know, once you get wet, the fabric of your clothes becomes completely transparent and offers no protection.

The demoness's red dress was clearly made of a special material; Li Chuqiu's dagger hadn't pierced it before, and now, soaked in the pool water, it wasn't as transparent as expected. However, one could still vaguely glimpse beneath the demoness's clothes—her undergarment?

Is it pink?

"Tsk!"

Li Chuqiu couldn't help but click her tongue softly.

Who would have thought that this holy maiden of the fox demon clan would have such a girlish heart?

How can this not be considered a contrast in some sense?

Just as Li Chuqiu was admiring the enchantress from head to toe with appreciative eyes—Chu Wanqing, who had been concentrating on healing with her eyes closed, gradually began to lose her composure.

From the moment Li Chuqiu jumped into the pool, she was tense and uneasy, afraid that this bastard would cause some trouble again.

It wasn't until she realized that this guy's gaze was fixed intently on her, focusing on a certain part of her body—that Chu Wanqing inexplicably felt a surge of heat throughout her body.

Although she didn't open her eyes, she could still clearly sense that the bastard's eyes were staring straight at her chest.

Chu Wanqing was even more aware that she was currently in a state of "wet and seductive" state, and might even have already exposed herself. Especially that light, flirtatious "tsk" made Chu Wanqing's heart tremble.

The healing aura that was originally in place was suddenly disrupted.

"Um?"

On the other side, Li Chuqiu keenly sensed the stirring in her heart caused by that faint feeling.

This vixen—

His gaze was fixed on her face, and he saw an unusual blush gradually appearing on the fair face of this enchantress.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and even her breathing became rapid.

"Tsk!"

Li Chuqiu noticed the enchantress's strange behavior, clicked her tongue, and suddenly leaned closer: "Tell me, wouldn't we be considered to be taking a bath together as a couple?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Wanqing, who was already struggling to hold back, instantly broke down.

Her delicate body trembled violently, and she lost her balance while floating in the water, unexpectedly falling straight into the water.

Li Chuqiu reacted quickly, instinctively reaching out to wrap his arms around her waist to prevent her from falling in.

Chu Wanqing opened her eyes, her alluring gaze filled with shame, anger, and resentment: "What are you doing?!"

"Aren't you afraid you'll drown?"

Li Chuqiu spoke with righteous indignation.

"I said—what nonsense were you spouting just now?!"

Chu Wanqing's breathing became rapid; the phrase "a bath for lovers" instantly broke her composure, and she almost drowned.

Obviously extremely stimulating!

Li Chuqiu looked completely innocent: "Did I talk nonsense?"

"you----"

Chu Wanqing wanted to retort, but at this moment the two of them were soaking in the pool, and she was even being held in his arms—except for the clothes on her body, it seemed to be no different from taking a bath together.

"Did you do this on purpose?!"

Chu Wanqing glared at him.

"yes!"

Li Chuqiu readily admitted that he was seeking revenge for the enchantress's deliberate seduction of him in the cave.

"You're so childish!"

Chu Wanqing was furious.

This guy is really petty and stingy, always looking for an opportunity to get revenge on her.

wrong----

Chu Wanqing quickly realized what was happening, blushed, struggled out of Li Chuqiu's arms, and glared at him with a mixture of shame and anger.

This guy isn't petty at all.

He's clearly trying to take advantage of her in various ways!

Don't fall for it again!

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Chu Wanqing turned her head away and said irritably, "You still have the mind to play around? If you have nothing better to do, hurry up and find a way out—"

"I want to soak a little longer!"

There was no immediate danger, but Chu Wanqing's injuries were still severe, so she planned to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible.

Upon hearing this, Li Chuqiu stopped teasing her.

As Chu Wanqing plunged back into the pool to continue absorbing spiritual energy, Li Chuqiu rose from the spiritual spring pool and began to carefully observe her surroundings.

Clearly, only Prince Jing could have built such a massive underground palace beneath his residence.

This spiritually rich spring pool could not possibly be naturally formed; it is most likely that someone set up an array here to gather the spiritual spring water.

But why is no one guarding it?

Li Chuqiu looked puzzled, her gaze following the flow of the spring water on both sides of the pool, landing on the stone wall beside it. She then walked up the wall, and after a few steps, past a large rock, a field of spiritual fields soaked by the spring water soon came into view.

Someone is actually cultivating magical herbs here?!

A large expanse of spiritual fields came into Li Chuqiu's view. Nourished by a tributary of the spiritual spring flowing nearby, the fields were planted with many crystal-clear herbs.

Although Li Chuqiu didn't recognize them, she could tell from the spiritual energy emanating from the herbs that they were rare and priceless medicinal herbs.

After carefully confirming that there was no danger around, Li Chuqiu cautiously approached. These spiritual herbs, which were growing extremely well, seemed to be almost ready for harvest.

Each of these spiritual herbs contains astonishing spiritual energy; such herbs would probably be snapped up by people if left outside!

Why are there spirit fields here?

Li Chuqiu's doubts and curiosity grew even stronger. He looked around and finally his gaze fell on a dark bronze door at the far end.

It was a double bronze door, engraved with ancient patterns that were difficult to understand. The patterns on it were vaguely similar to the runes that Li Chuqiu had seen in the secret room before.

The ancient bronze gate exudes an air of inexplicable antiquity and vicissitude.

It looks like a magical artifact whose spiritual energy has been depleted?

It was only then that Li Chuqiu realized that the spiritual spring water flowing from both sides of the stone wall ultimately pointed to the area behind the ancient bronze gate.

Li Chuqiu approached slowly and cautiously, a heavy aura emanating from the ancient bronze door.

Is the doorway the way out, or does it lead to a hidden paradise?

Or perhaps—what secret is hidden within?

It wasn't until Li Chuqiu got closer that she finally discovered—this ancient bronze door was not closed.

Light shone faintly from behind the two bronze doors. As Li Chuqiu approached, she smelled a strong aroma of herbs and pills, and a bright, magnificent, and quiet house came into view.

—The alchemy room?

This was Li Chuqiu's first impression.

No wonder there's a spirit spring pool and such a large area of ​​spirit fields outside; it turns out this place is actually an alchemy workshop!

Just then, footsteps sounded behind them.

Li Chuqiu turned around and saw Chu Wanqing's beautiful figure in a red dress, wet and glistening, appearing before him.

"You—"

Li Chuqiu was taken aback and subconsciously looked him up and down.

At this moment, Chu Wanqing, whom he saw, had skin as delicate and white as a lotus emerging from water, and was stunningly beautiful.

Especially since her red dress was completely soaked, with water droplets dripping from the hem, the already form-fitting long dress seemed to have become a bodysuit, tightly wrapped around her body.

In this way, Li Chuqiu could clearly see the alluring figure of this enchantress.

With its contours, rounded and full shape, and graceful curves, it is all on full display.

Especially the barely visible pink bodice, quite alluring. Li Chuqiu seemed to realize something, her gaze involuntarily shifting downwards—

The next second, a slender hand quickly covered her lower abdomen, followed by an angry and embarrassed voice: "What are you looking at?!"

He looked up and saw Chu Wanqing blushing and glaring at him.

But at this moment, she didn't seem dangerous at all; instead, she seemed to be playing hard to get.

What do you think?

Li Chuqiu retorted confidently, "You're dressed like this? I haven't even accused you of seducing me yet!"

"you----"

Chu Wanqing knew perfectly well how disheveled and alluring she looked right now.

However, she had used all the spiritual energy she had absorbed while soaking in the spirit spring to heal her injuries, and she didn't have any extra demonic power to dry her clothes. After barely regaining her mobility, she quickly got up and looked for an exit—this place was unfamiliar, and the spirit spring clearly belonged to someone else, so it was not advisable to stay any longer.

"Stop looking!"

Seeing Li Chuqiu's gaze still fixed on her, Chu Wanqing felt even more ashamed. She had a feeling that she was completely naked, being seen by him completely.

This feeling of shame is exactly the same as last time —

The thought flashed through Chu Wanqing's mind, and she suddenly remembered—did this guy see it last time?

Li Chuqiu laboriously shifted her gaze to the ancient bronze door before her: "This seems to be an alchemy room, not the way out—it seems the way out is in the direction we came from."

The problem is, there's no road from the direction they came from. Even if there were, they'd most likely run into the enraged demon Qianxie, who's searching for them.

That great demon was tricked by Li Chuqiu and Chu Wanqing and suffered such a great loss. It is probably currently in a state of weakened defense.

"The alchemy room?"

Chu Wanqing was taken aback, also finding it somewhat strange: "Why is there an alchemy room here?"

"Let me see."

As she spoke, Chu Wanqing stepped forward, bypassed Li Chuqiu, and peered through the crack in the door.

Thus, what came into Li Chuqiu's view was this enchantress dressed in a wet, tight-fitting dress, her upper body slightly leaning forward, peering through the crack of the ancient bronze door. This revealed her round, pert buttocks beneath the red fabric of her dress.

Her slender waist, which could be encircled by a single hand, outlined a sexy and perfect curve, enveloping the full moon that was almost too big to be grasped by two hands.

Adding to the allure, the scenery is faintly visible beneath the slightly transparent, soaked fabric.

That's a terrible posture!

Li Chuqiu's heart skipped a beat, and a strange emotion welled up inside her.

Chu Wanqing, who was checking the activity inside the door, seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around.

—The posture got even worse!

She met Li Chuqiu's unnatural gaze and expression. She didn't seem to realize that there was anything wrong with her posture, but she vaguely felt that this guy's eyes were very strange.

"What are you doing now?!"

"without----"

Li Chuqiu looked away, then looked back, cleared her throat, and changed the subject: "What did you find?"

"It is indeed an alchemy room."

Chu Wanqing looked slightly puzzled: "But it seems there's no one inside?"

Nobody here?

This huge underground palace was completely deserted, from the outside to the inside.

"What should we do then?"

"Shall we go in and take a look?"

The two exchanged a glance and both saw a hint of excitement for the unknown adventure in each other's eyes.

It means we clicked.

Chu Wanqing stepped forward and gently pushed the ancient bronze door, but it wouldn't budge.

"I don't have the strength, you try."

Chu Wanqing took a step back. Although she could move at this moment, she could not use her demonic power.

Li Chuqiu stepped forward, placed her hands on the two doors, and exerted force.

With the movement, the bronze door made a dull thud and was slowly pushed open.

When there was enough space for one person to pass through inside the door, Li Chuqiu took a step back and looked at Chu Wanqing beside her.

"You go first."

Chu Wanqing: "..."

,"coward!"

Chu Wanqing looked disdainful and walked straight through the ancient bronze gate into the room.

Li Chuqiu watched from the doorway for a while, and only after confirming that the demoness hadn't triggered any traps or dangers after entering did she feel relieved and cautiously slip inside.

Sure enough, it was an alchemy room.

The air was filled with the rich aroma of herbs and elixirs. Li Chuqiu looked around, her gaze settling on the alchemy furnace in the center of the room.

It was a bronze-colored alchemy furnace, the fire burning brightly, wisps of purple smoke drifting down and filling the room.

Are they refining elixirs?

But all around was silent, and there was no one in sight.

What about people?

That shouldn't be happening!

Although alchemy is extremely time-consuming, sometimes taking ten days or half a month, or even longer, it is still a bit strange that no one is watching over you while you are making alchemy.

At that moment, Li Chuqiu noticed that Chu Wanqing was standing in front of a desk, looking at something. Li Chuqiu approached and saw an open book on the desk.

"What is this?"

Li Chuqiu took a closer look.

"Pharmacology manual?"

"This is a medical manual on alchemy?!"

A look of astonishment flashed in Chu Wanqing's eyes: "This is no ordinary alchemy manual!"

"What?"

"The pill formulas and herbs recorded in this medical book have long been lost outside, and many of the formulas are unheard of—even the alchemy sects mostly only record the name, and the formulas and refining methods have been lost—"

Although Chu Wanqing did not know how to refine pills, she knew just how precious this medical book and its formulas were!

As if realizing something, she glanced at the medicine book a few times before shifting her gaze to the alchemy furnace in the center of the room.

Her alluring eyes gradually widened in disbelief: "This... someone is actually refining the Purple Qi Returning to Origin Pill here?!"

"Purple Qi Returning to Origin Pill?"

Li Chuqiu asked in confusion, "What kind of pill is this? Is it very powerful?"

You can understand it as ————

A flicker of excitement crossed Chu Wanqing's eyes: "You can think of it as a miraculous elixir that can bring the dead back to life!"

"Bringing them back to life?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chuqiu immediately perked up: "There are such elixirs in the world?!"

"Can the dead be resurrected?"

"Complete death is impossible, but—"

Chu Wanqing took a deep breath: "As long as there is still a breath left, and the three souls and seven spirits have not dissipated, this Purple Qi Returning Pill can save both demons and humans—"

Even if someone is only on their last breath, can they be saved?

Is there really such a miraculous elixir in the world?

Doesn't that mean you have an extra life?

If this kind of elixir were left out, it would be enough to make all the powerful figures in the world fight tooth and nail for it.

"It seems the elixir is almost ready?"

Chu Wanqing stared at the alchemy furnace in the center of the room, her alluring peach-blossom eyes seeming to gleam with something.

"Take it or leave it?"

Li Chuqiu was taken aback, realizing something, and said, "This looks like someone else's?"

"So what—just tell me if you dare or not?"

"6

""

Their eyes met, and Li Chuqiu quickly caught a glimpse of emotion in the enchantress's eyes.

With such a divine elixir right before their eyes, who wouldn't be tempted?

However, Li Chuqiu remained calm. Anyone capable of refining such a divine elixir must be no ordinary person. It was hard to say that this underground palace beneath the Prince Jing's residence wasn't the work of that Prince Jing himself.

This divine elixir is probably not so easy to obtain!

Just as the two continued to exchange glances, a crisis suddenly arose.

A low growl suddenly came from inside the alchemy room.

A powerful aura swept over them, causing their expressions to change slightly. Li Chuqiu looked up and saw a dark shadow rushing towards them with lightning speed from the roof beam of the alchemy room.

"Be careful!"

Li Chuqiu grabbed Chu Wanqing's waist and quickly retreated, her toes barely touching the ground.

"Bang!"

The dark figure crashed heavily into the ground, creating a huge crater.

The two stopped, only then realizing that the dark shape in front of them was actually an ape?!

To be precise, it is an ape-like spirit beast.

At about a meter tall, the ape-like beast was now glaring fiercely at the two of them, roaring as if to warn and vent its anger at the intruders.

The next second, the ape-like beast suddenly pounced on the two of them again.

"This spirit beast is still a minor and not very strong; it hasn't even reached the sixth realm yet."

Chu Wanqing saw through the spirit beast's true nature at a glance. Upon hearing this, Li Chuqiu did not retreat. The moment the ape spirit beast pounced, she waved her sleeve and threw a punch.

"Bang!"

A head-on collision.

After soaking in the spiritual spring pool, Li Chuqiu's physical condition returned to its peak. Even without the Qi Condensation Pill, the force of his punch was extremely terrifying.

"ah----"

With a single punch, the ape spirit beast clearly hadn't expected the man before it to be so tough!

Caught off guard, the ape spirit beast was punched and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood and letting out a miserable "ee-ee" sound. For a moment, it struggled to get up.

They instantly lost their fighting ability!

"So weak?"

Li Chuqiu found it strange; this ape-like spirit beast seemed weaker than he had imagined.

"It's fortunate that this spirit beast is not yet an adult, otherwise it would be far beyond what you or I could handle."

Chu Wanqing was somewhat relieved. This ape spirit beast was clearly a pill-guarding beast of the pill furnace, but it did not seem to be an adult and its strength did not pose a danger.

Even so, Chu Wanqing couldn't help but glance at this guy again—just how tough is this guy to go head-to-head with a spirit beast?

Just as Li Chuqiu was about to examine the ape spirit beast, a rich aroma of medicinal pills suddenly filled the surroundings!

"The pill has been successfully refined?!"

Chu Wanqing exclaimed in surprise.

Li Chuqiu subconsciously looked at the alchemy furnace in the center of the room, where thick purple smoke swirled around it. Then, the furnace slowly opened, revealing a crystal-clear pill floating inside, radiating a soft purple light.

The fragrance of the elixir was rich; just one breath made me feel relaxed all over, as if my energy and spirit had been greatly enhanced.

A top-tier divine pill?!

Just as Li Chuqiu was feeling surprised, a figure in red flashed past her.

Chu Wanqing had already appeared in front of the alchemy furnace and casually put the newly refined divine pill into his palm.

"You're really going to take it?"

Li Chuqiu was taken aback.

This pill clearly already had an owner. He was still hesitating whether to go against his conscience, but this demoness had already made her move.

"What else?"

Chu Wanqing smiled and said confidently, "We demons have a saying: rare and precious treasures belong to the capable—I saw them, so they are mine."

Li Chuqiu was still considering whether it was polite to accept someone else's things, but Chu Wanqing didn't care about that.

She's a demon!

When has that witch ever spoken of reason?

The demon race believes in the law of the jungle, and they don't care about anything else.

She saw it; it was hers.

After putting the Purple Qi Returning to Origin Pill into the porcelain bottle and tucking it into his bosom, Chu Wanqing patted his round, bulging chest with satisfaction.

Turning around, she saw Li Chuqiu's gaze fixed on her, his eyes gradually growing intense.

"What are you doing?!"

"Everyone who sees it gets a share, I want half!"

Chu Wanqing: "?"

Chu Wanqing retorted angrily, "Aren't you supposed to be polite? Don't you say you won't take things that belong to someone else?"

"I naturally won't take what belongs to someone else."

Li Chuqiu retorted just as confidently, "But isn't the stuff in your hands now?"

Li Chuqiu would naturally consider other people's things, but since these belonged to this demoness, she wasn't so polite.

"I want half!"

Chu Wanqing:

'

"No!"

Chu Wanqing gave a soft snort, then suddenly remembered something, her charming eyes sparkling as she smiled sweetly: "Unless, you beg me?"

"I can consider sharing it with you in half!"

She began to seek revenge for being forced to beg for mercy.

"Dream on!"

Li Chuqiu sneered, "Why would I need to beg?"

This enchantress clearly hadn't figured out the situation yet.

Her injuries hadn't healed yet, and she still couldn't exert her full strength. Li Chuqiu didn't waste words with her; if she didn't give it to him, he would just forcibly search her body—it was best if she didn't give it to him.

When Chu Wanqing saw Li Chuqiu's malicious gaze, she realized that this guy might have ulterior motives. She immediately became a little nervous, but before she could say anything, a low growl from a wild beast suddenly rang out, and the earth shook.

"roar!"

The entire alchemy room seemed to shake.

Li Chuqiu and Chu Wanqing's expressions changed—this aura was clearly much more terrifying than that of the immature ape spirit beast.

"not good!"

Li Chuqiu and Chu Wanqing realized almost simultaneously—how could the spirit beast guarding the core be such a weak, immature ape spirit beast?

Obviously, there were also adults among them!

"Run!"

The aura was powerful, clearly belonging to a far more terrifying spirit beast.

Li Chuqiu and Chu Wanqing turned and ran almost without hesitation.

"Um----"

After running only two steps, Chu Wanqing's delicate body suddenly trembled—she was injured and had just absorbed a lot of spiritual energy to replenish it. Although she could barely walk, the sudden activation of her demonic power made her feel completely depleted and her body weak.

This delay allowed the terrifying pressure from behind to approach.

Chu Wanqing turned around and saw a huge ape spirit beast with a ferocious face and exuding a terrifying aura angrily charging towards her.

"It's over!"

Chu Wanqing felt a chill in her heart.

Just when she thought she was doomed, that being hit like that would leave her half-dead or dead, a faster figure flashed past her, scooped her up in his arms, and rushed out of the ancient bronze gate.

"Boom!"

The violent impact caused the ground to tremble continuously.

The ape-like spirit beast was enormous, and it actually slammed the ancient bronze door that had just been broken open shut.

Even through the ancient bronze gate, you can still hear the roars and shouts coming from the entrance!

Chu Wanqing was pale, clutching Li Chuqiu's collar tightly, still shaken.

For a brief moment, she really thought she was going to die.

Overwhelmed with relief at surviving the ordeal, she trembled slightly. Looking up at the man's handsome, angular face, she felt a strange unease.

—I suddenly think he's quite good-looking.

"Thanks----"

Chu Wanqing inexplicably felt her heart race and her face flush.

"You're welcome. Remember to share half of the divine pill with me."

Chu Wanqing: "————"

Can this guy please stop being such a spoilsport?

Chu Wanqing was annoyed; he was completely oblivious to romance.

"Alright, we need to get going."

Realizing this place was no longer safe, and that the demoness had not only stolen the divine pill but also provoked the spirit beast, they had to leave quickly, or the consequences would be dire if the owner arrived.

"Are you still able to walk?"

Li Chuqiu looked down at Chu Wanqing in her arms.

"cannot."

Chu Wanqing looked away from Li Chuqiu, her voice soft and unnatural. A touch of red seemed to tinge her translucent earlobe beneath a strand of black hair.

"Give me half of the divine pill, or I'll leave you here!"

Chu Wanqing: "————"

"Fine, fine, I'll break up with you!"

Chu Wanqing was furious. Was this guy only interested in the divine pill?

Unable to contain her anger, she reached out and pinched his waist hard—but couldn't move him.

He even pinched her hand until it hurt.

Upon hearing this, Li Chuqiu finally carried her outside, satisfied.

The demoness in his arms wasn't heavy. Although her clothes had become soaked and added a lot of weight, it was still negligible to Li Chuqiu.

More importantly, Chu Wanqing's wet and alluring appearance allowed Li Chuqiu to clearly feel the texture of her body in his palms when he held her. Even through her clothes, it felt as if there was no barrier at all.

It feels quite good.

Chu Wanqing also realized it; she felt inexplicably hot.

She dared not look at him, turned her head away, buried her head in his chest, and pretended to be an ostrich.

But in doing so, she could clearly smell the faint scent on Li Chuqiu's body, which made her heart beat even faster.

Wait, why does this guy smell so good?

—He deliberately seduced me, didn't he?

Isn't he the real devilishly handsome guy?!

Chu Wanqing's face grew redder and redder. Her mind was racing, but she was powerless and let Li Chuqiu hold her. She curled up in his arms with a sense of peace and comfort, feeling inexplicably at ease.

Holding the demoness in his arms, Li Chuqiu returned along the path they had come from, passing through the magnificent underground palace, and was preparing to return to the cave where the two of them had come from.

Suddenly, a powerful aura emanated from the cave ahead.

The next second, a cold and angry voice rang out.

"We've finally found you!"

Li Chuqiu and Chu Wanqing's expressions changed simultaneously.

A thousand evils?!

This great demon, relentlessly pursuing us, has finally arrived!
