Zuan shook his head and gently stroked her delicate little braids: "Xue'er, thank you for thinking of these solutions for me, but I still plan to go to the palace tomorrow and meet the emperor directly to resolve this issue."

Qiao Xueying immediately became anxious: "The Emperor of Great Zhou is recognized as the strongest person in the world. Although your strength has improved a lot, you are still far from being his match."

Zu An laughed: "Silly girl, I'm not going to fight him. Don't worry, I have a plan. If I still fail, I'll escape to the demon race as you suggested."

Qiao Xueying looked worried: "But I'm worried that you might not even have a chance to escape then."

Zuan pulled her delicate body into his arms: "Trust me, it'll be alright."

Qiao Xueying hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that if she loosened her grip even slightly, she would lose him forever.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the two embraced, their body temperatures quickly rising.

Qiao Xueying's body became increasingly limp, while Zu An's body became increasingly hard.

Without a word, everything happened naturally, and the two kissed passionately.

After a while, Qiao Xueying hurriedly covered her disheveled clothes, glanced back at Chu Youzhao not far away, her face flushed red: "No... not here."

Zu An chuckled, wanting to say it was alright, since Chu Youzhao was also a woman and was unconscious.

However, seeing her pleading eyes, he didn't want to waste words explaining and simply carried her to the bed next to him.

Qiao Xueying gently flicked her fingertips, and some tiny vines stretched out, lowering the curtains on both sides.

...

She didn't know how much time had passed, but Chu Youzhao felt that she had a strange dream. The whole dream was pink and extremely embarrassing. She dreamed that she was sleeping with a man, and that man was riding on her body with passion, and she was making all sorts of embarrassing sounds.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see the other person's face clearly. She tried to open her eyes wide, and finally saw the face clearly. It was her brother-in-law!

She woke up instantly, startled.

"It was just a dream."

She breathed a long sigh of relief, then subconsciously twisted her legs. How could she have such a shameful dream, especially one involving that lecherous thief?

Wait, why is that embarrassing sound from my dream still there?

She instinctively turned her head to look, and her eyes widened immediately. Even through the gauze curtain, she could still see the figures inside.

What are they doing? Riding horses?

Chu Youzhao was completely bewildered and hadn't even come to her senses when a vine suddenly lashed out and knocked her unconscious again.
