After Luo Pianhong left, only Song Yanran and Mu Qiuyao remained in the vast Yaochi Palace.

To be honest, Song Yanran had a deep-seated prejudice against Mu Qiuyao.

The reason for this was that he used some underhanded means to steal two strands of Purple Emperor Qi from his own territory, and that's how this personal feud started.

Similarly, Mu Qiuyao didn't necessarily have much affection for Song Yanran either; she just couldn't stand Song Yanran's nonchalant expression in the face of anything.

Therefore, in many private meetings in previous years, Song Yanran would not appear where Mu Qiuyao was, and vice versa.

In reality, they are all just minor personal issues.

But a scene like today, where the two of them are alone together, is truly rare.

"Tell me, what do you know?"

Song Yanran got straight to the point and didn't want to waste too much time talking to Mu Qiuyao.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qiuyao smiled and suddenly asked, "How is Shen Zhao's skill in bed? Can he satisfy you? How long does it usually last? Would you mind telling me?"

Song Yanran frowned and looked at her without saying a word.

"You've already done it, so why are you embarrassed to talk about it? Share it with me."

Mu Qiuyao crossed her legs, completely ignoring Song Yanran's gaze.

"I think you should be very satisfied. After all, it was only after you absorbed the essence of the Great Dao within Shen Zhao's body that you achieved your current Ascension Realm."

Song Yanran was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

Mu Qiuyao: "Don't you understand yet? It was Shen Zhao's constitution that gave you the opportunity to take this step. How much do you really know about the person next to you in bed?"

Song Yanran: "You mean, Shen Zhao has the 'furnace physique'?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Pianhong, who was outside Yaochi Palace, immediately brightened up.

The Furnace Cauldron Physique, especially the top-grade Furnace Cauldron Physique, is extremely rare and hard to come by. I never expected that Shen Zhao would actually be a Furnace Cauldron.

No wonder they wanted to send me away.

She unconsciously swallowed hard, then continued to listen carefully to what they were saying.

"You could say that, but this furnace is no ordinary furnace," Mu Qiuyao said slowly. "Because Shen Zhao possesses the Origin Body of the Great Dao."

I don't know what other benefits this physique might have, but one thing is certain: Shen Zhao is a treasure trove from head to toe.

Moreover, unlike other methods of absorbing and replenishing one's energy, once nourished by the essence of the Great Dao, the Dao essence remaining within the body will begin to shift over time.

Slowly warm up the Qi Hai Dan Yuan, and after the meridians are fully moisturized, you will be able to break through your own bottleneck naturally without any side effects.

There won't be any risk of deteriorating your cultivation, so you can now break through to the Yuhua realm.

In my opinion, it's not surprising at all. Even if they don't break through now, they will eventually do so in time.

Song Yanran seemed to be thinking: "So, in other words, my breakthrough to the Feather Transformation Realm is all thanks to my husband?"

Mu Qiuyao smiled and said, "Besides this, do you think there are other possibilities? You are so lucky."

Song Yanran was silent, then smiled: "In this case, I should thank my husband even more. In comparison, I actually want to have a child with him."

Mu Qiuyao revealed a playful smile: "So now, what I also need to tell you is that Shen Zhao shouldn't have too many women around him."

We're all on the same side, so let's just leave it at that. But if word gets out, who knows what kind of mess they'll make of the kid.

I think you have lived a thousand years longer than me, so you should understand it better than me.

If anyone were to tell others about his physique, let alone the female cultivators in the sect who relied on collecting essences to improve their cultivation,

Even saints who are detached from worldly affairs cannot resist the temptation.

Therefore, this secret must be kept strictly confidential, both for public and private reasons.

Song Yanran pondered for a moment, then said, "You're right. This is the first time in all these years that I agree with your point of view, but..."

She changed the subject: "Why are you telling me this?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qiuyao immediately clutched her lower abdomen and said, "That's because I'm just like you, a woman of Shen Zhao. Can't you even see that?"

"Um?"

A rare look of surprise flashed across Song Yanran's face.

"Don't look at me like that. What's done is done. I also have Shen Zhao's Dao essence within me."

Speaking of this, Mu Qiuyao's face was full of blush when she thought of that night.

Song Yanran stared at Mu Qiuyao without saying a word.

Mu Qiuyao calmly looked at Song Yanran.

Neither of them spoke, and the air around them seemed to quiet down.

"well……"

After a long time, Song Yanran sighed softly.

"Well, since it's already happened, what can I say?"

Mu Qiuyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I thought you had heard this news..."

You'd want to grind me to dust right then and there, but I didn't expect you to be so open-minded.

Song Yanran stroked the zither with her jade-like fingers and said calmly, "Since it has already happened, what difference would it make if I killed you?"

Besides, I am merely the Empress of the Dragon-Han Celestial Dynasty, not a ruthless female demon.

It seems Shen Zhao also has some feelings for you, otherwise he wouldn't have had this relationship with you.

As long as you don't betray him, how could I possibly do anything to hurt him?

Mu Qiuyao breathed a sigh of relief: "After hearing what you said, I'm relieved."

However, if there is another woman who also admires the boy,

I don't think you'd make things difficult for her, right? Let her get a share of the profits too.

What do you say? One or two more won't make a difference.

Song Yanran closed her beautiful eyes slightly: "There's another one? Who is it?"

Mu Qiuyao chuckled: "You know her too? She's actually one of our little sisters."
