"Boy, do you know what kind of constitution you have?"

"My body is mortal, unlike you bunch of charlatans who can claim to have ancient holy bodies all the time."

"You really don't know anything at all?"

"I know nothing! Can't you just say what you want to say? Stop keeping me in suspense!"

Mu Qiuyao couldn't hide her excitement and said directly to Shen Zhao, "Kid, after we get back, I want you to stay by my side for three months. Just name your price."

Shen Zhao frowned: "You think I'm that good-for-nothing Lin Feng? Sorry, but this young hero actually hates being a kept man. Even if I am, it's a forced one. I advise you to give up on that idea."

Mu Qiuyao: "Kid, I'm really not kidding you. You can take anything you want within the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty."

"As long as you stay within ten steps of me, you don't have to do anything. After three months, you can take anything you want."

Shen Zhao fell into deep thought, then said, "You're interested in the properties of my Southern Ming Fire?"

Mu Qiuyao was taken aback, thinking to herself, "It seems he really doesn't know what kind of constitution he has. This kid is clearly so smart..."

Why does he sometimes seem so stupid? Hasn't he ever considered what kind of constitution is compatible with the Southern Ming Fire?

"I'm sorry, I've thought about it carefully, but I still can't agree to your request."

Shen Zhao decisively chose to refuse.

Isn't this blatant self-deception? It's incredibly embarrassing if word gets out.

"Why?" Mu Qiuyao pressed.

Shen Zhao casually replied, "Because I can't accept the fact that you had a physical relationship with that good-for-nothing Lin Feng. Just consider me a germaphobe. Even if we don't do anything, I still feel uncomfortable."

Mu Qiuyao was furious upon hearing this: "Boy, I advise you not to be ungrateful. My feud with Lin Feng is a matter from a previous life."

"And that wasn't my will. It was because I was under the influence of the Myriad Paths Slave Scripture that this happened. I'm still a virgin in this life. I'm not as shameless as you think."

After saying all this, she herself found it hard to believe why she had to explain so much to Shen Zhao.

But Shen Zhao interpreted these words completely differently, just like someone who, after undergoing hymenoplasty, shamelessly claims to be a virgin—utterly baffling and laughable.

Shen Zhao: "Don't forget, I was reborn too, although I had no connection with you before."

But the thought of Lin Feng and you doing that makes me want to vomit.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qiuyao immediately retorted, "When Lin Feng and Yu Xiyan were in that state, why didn't you vomit? Why didn't you think about leaving? Can't you stop being so hypocritical?"

Shen Zhao frowned upon hearing this: "Damn it, you're supposed to be the Empress of the Immortal Dynasty, can you please not speak so vulgarly?"

Mu Qiuyao retorted angrily, "Isn't the Empress human? Since she has been given a second chance at life..."

That is to be reborn, it is the mercy of God that gives us a chance to change our destiny.

We should seize this opportunity to avoid the mistakes of our past lives, instead of dwelling on them.

Shen Zhao waved his hand: "Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Our views are completely different, and there's no point in arguing any further."

Mu Qiuyao's tone softened: "So you agree?"

"Let's talk about it after we leave here."

"good!"

After saying that, Mu Qiuyao sat down next to Shen Zhao, grabbed his arm, and then rested her head on his shoulder.

Just as Shen Zhao was about to speak, Mu Qiuyao interrupted him: "Boy, don't push me away. Don't you need the help of my Tai Xuan Dao Body?"

"I'm only using the Southern Bright Fire energy within you to help my cultivation body unseal sooner."

After thinking about it, Shen Zhao stopped trying to stop him.

Nothing was said that night.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Mu Qiuyao slowly opened her eyes.

What came into view was Shen Zhao's handsome and dashing face, which was right in front of him.

Unlike Raymond Lam's delicate and effeminate face, Shen Zhao's face is full of masculinity and vigor.

"Unexpectedly, this kid is so charming upon closer inspection. No wonder Jiang Qingluan and Luo Pianhong are so infatuated with him."

After staring at her for a while, Mu Qiuyao's face unconsciously turned a little red.

After a night of treatment, the cold poison in her body showed signs of slowly melting away, and her spirits were much better than yesterday.

Suddenly, Shen Zhao opened his eyes.

Before Mu Qiuyao could react, just as she was about to cry out, Shen Zhao covered her mouth with his hand and then made a shushing gesture.

Mu Qiuyao nodded, and after Shen Zhao let go of her hand, the two quickly hid behind a large rock.

Immediately afterwards, a strange chanting of Buddhist hymns came from afar.

Looking through the cracks in the rocks, one could see a group of monks in yellow robes slowly walking across a high slope, holding wheelchairs.

Behind the monks were a group of women with iron shackles piercing their hands and feet, who were being driven forward in agony by another group of evil monks.

"Amitabha!"

A handsome sword monk with flowing long hair exchanged a Buddhist chant with a red-robed monk who came to report on the situation.

The two then exchanged a few words, and the red-robed monk said indignantly, "Master Hui, you didn't see it. Yesterday, that woman was an absolute beauty, but unfortunately she ran away. Otherwise, she could have been offered to the three of you, and you would surely have received great blessings from the Buddha."

Sword Monk: "Fine, now that they've entered the Buddhist Kingdom, there's no way they can leave. Send people to guard all the key roads in the near future, and report back immediately if any living people appear."

"Amitabha!"

The red-robed monk immediately bowed and left.

"Is he a sword monk at the Selfless Realm?"

Upon seeing the sword monk, Mu Qiuyao accurately stated his cultivation level.

Where are they planning to go?

When Mu Qiuyao asked, Shen Zhao pondered for a moment, glanced at the direction they had left, and confirmed, "It seems they went towards Lion Camel Ridge."

"Who is it? Come out!"

Suddenly, the sword monk let out a sharp shout, and the golden sword behind him flashed for a moment, unleashing more than ten sword energies that attacked Shen Zhao and Mu Qiuyao.
