As she playfully complained, a faint purple light emanated from her fingers, and the wound on Zu'an's chest was visibly healing.

Zuan was startled: "What kind of magic is that?"

Yun Yuqing smiled and said, "You already know I'm a demon, so it's perfectly normal for me to know some magic, isn't it?"

Zuan chuckled: "Your explanation is quite refreshing and unconventional, but I don't understand why your demon race, with the Eye of the Heavenly Demon and this kind of healing magic, lost to the human race in the great war back then."

Yun Yuqing sighed: "Although our races have all sorts of amazing talents, you humans have super learning abilities, plus your reproductive capacity is also amazing. With this balance of power, you humans are getting stronger and stronger, and naturally we can't beat you... But can we not discuss these things now?"

Looking at the other person's resentful eyes, Zu An also felt that saying these things in this situation was a bit out of place.

"What's wrong with your body? It feels almost as hard as a dragon's," Yun Yuqing suddenly asked curiously.

Zuan: "Ah, you even know about the dragon race?"

Yun Yuqing was taken aback at first, then her face turned red: "That's not what I meant! You know, the Night Elf's fatal sword strike just now only pierced your body. When I'm healing you now, I can feel the incredible resilience of your body, which is far beyond what ordinary people can match."

"I don't know either, maybe I'm just exceptionally talented, haha." Zu'an laughed heartily. Of course, he didn't want to reveal the news of the "Primordial Chaos Scripture". So many people had already come here just because of the "Phoenix Nirvana Scripture". If they found out about the "Primordial Chaos Scripture", that would be terrible.

"It's just the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, what's there to keep secret?" Yun Yuqing rolled her eyes at him and was about to get up when her large hand pressed her back down.

She trembled involuntarily: "What...what are you doing?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? Why did you get up for no reason?" Zuan asked curiously.

Yun Yuqing bit her lip tightly: "Of course we should deal with the bodies over there first. It feels extremely uncomfortable to have him around."

Not only that, if this situation isn't handled properly, the Embroidered-Robe Envoy and the Prince of Liang will surely notice something amiss later.

"Oh, so that's what it is. I thought you were leaving, and I was a little sad to see you go." Zuan chuckled awkwardly.

Yun Yuqing's heart skipped a beat. Without responding, she went directly to the corpse of the Night Elf, reached out and flicked her hand. A purple light shone on him and disappeared instantly.

Seeing the bloodstains on the ground, she frowned slightly, then took out a porcelain bottle and poured it on the bloodstains, quickly erasing them completely.

Zuan watched from the side and secretly sighed. This woman was truly beautiful. Even when she was destroying the body, she was so graceful. Especially now that she was just wrapped in a dress, the way her skirt fluttered was truly a beautiful painting.

"What are you looking at?" Yun Yuqing turned around and found the other person staring straight at her, and she immediately felt uneasy.

For some reason, the man in front of her was just a prisoner, while she was a high-ranking princess whose cultivation far surpassed his. Yet, when they were together, she always felt that he was the one in control.

Zuan stood up and walked towards her, saying, "You're so beautiful."

Feeling his heartfelt praise, Yun Yuqing's lips curled up slightly, clearly feeling a little excited. However, the fact that he was so close gave her a sense of intimidation, making her unconsciously want to back away.

But she was pulled back by a pair of large hands.

“Now that we’ve finished everything else, we should continue,” Zuan whispered in her ear.

The other person's tone seemed to completely disregard her opinion as they picked her up again.

Yun Yuqing's mind was in turmoil. This man was completely different from the King of Wu. The King of Wu was usually considerate and gentle, but this man was strong and domineering.

For some reason, she didn't dislike the masculine scent at all; instead, she felt a sense of anticipation.

But her womanly reserve made her instinctively refuse, saying, "I... I'll treat your wounds first."

“Just like before, you do your treatment, there’s no conflict.” Without further ado, Zu’an picked her up and carried her back.

Yun Yuqing's red lips parted slightly, her heart pounding. She could only keep reassuring herself that all of this was for the purpose of completing her mission.

...

After a while, Zu'an saw that his wounds had completely healed, so he reached out and grasped his hand: "Thank you for your treatment, Your Highness."

"Thank you for saving my life." Yun Yuqing's feelings were extremely complicated. It was the first time she had ever seen a man risk his life to save her.

Given Zaun's cultivation level, that Night Elf assassin's sword strike would most likely have blown off half of his body, yet he still stood in front of her without hesitation.

She was at a loss for how to face this man.

In the past, she would have believed that her husband would have risked his life to save her in this situation, but after what has happened these past few days, she knows very well that he himself is the most important person in his heart, and he most likely wouldn't protect her from the sword.

Zuan carefully examined the beauty so close to him, and seeing her bright red lips, he couldn't resist kissing her again.

Noticing his movement, Yun Yuqing instinctively shrank back.

However, this time Zuan did not give up and continued to move closer, as he could sense that the other party's rejection was not so firm.

Finally, their lips met.

Yun Yuqing was truly terrified this time, and struggled desperately, trying to push the man off her with both hands.

Unfortunately, the other party remained unmoved.

After a while, her grip on his hand loosened, and eventually their fingers intertwined completely. Gradually, she began to return his kiss with affection.

...

After an unknown amount of time, Zu An comforted the trembling beauty and asked, "Does the Princess want to practice the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra herself?"

“No…” Yun Yuqing responded instinctively.

“That’s good,” Zuan smiled. “Then I’ll tell you the incantation.”

Yun Yuqing sat up straight, her long, jet-black hair cascading down like a waterfall, making her skin appear even whiter: "This is something that saved your life, are you really giving it to me so easily?"

She only now realized that during the entire process, she had even forgotten to sense the flow of vital energy within the other person's body.

However, judging from the initial situation, even if she carefully sensed it, she probably wouldn't be able to find out. It seems that the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture is indeed miraculous and very different from ordinary cultivation methods.

“Anyway, I’m going to die soon. The princess has been so kind to me, how could I betray her?” Zu’an smiled and told her the incantation of the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra.

Of course, he wouldn't be so blinded by lust. The incantation had naturally been modified. The other party was clearly here for the King of Wu, so why would he let those ambitious people have it?

After saying that, he added, "The princess should not practice this technique; it is not suitable for women."
