"Guardian, let's go back. How could we possibly peep at the Demon Lord taking a bath? It's not right at all."

Little Peony looked flustered, her hands tightly gripping Li Muge's sleeve.

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Li Muge slapped Xiao Shaoyao's hand away, deliberately lowering his voice.

"Little Peony, don't you have any self-respect? It's just about looking at men, what's the big deal? Why are you making such a fuss?"

“But, but…” Little Peony blushed instantly: “But Guardian, Sister Peony said that peeping at males bathing is not the act of a good girl.”

“Him, Yun Qi, what kind of male is he?” Li Muge rolled her eyes, quite helplessly: “Let me tell you, Yun Qi is my mortal enemy, I don’t consider him a man at all.”

“But the Demon Lord is clearly…” Little Peony muttered, “Besides, Protector, Sister Peony said that if you peek at a man taking a bath, no one will want you.”

"Alright, my little darling, don't go. I'll go instead. Anyway, I'm not interested in men anymore."

Li Muge formed a hand seal.

Even the little peony couldn't be stopped.

In the hot spring pool, mist and smoke swirled around: Yun Qi, his body as smooth and warm as jade, leaned lazily against the pool wall, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

Li Muge spread his hands out and slid his index finger upwards, and immediately a pale blue light spread around Yun Qi.

Just a moment later.

Yun Qi was already drowsy.

Li Muge counted the numbers in her mind, and when she counted to three, Yun Qi finally collapsed.

"You little brat, you think you can mess with me?" Li Muge stepped out from the shadows and walked up to Yun Qi: "You think you can mess with me?"

Yun Qi appears to have fallen into a coma.

There were still some water droplets on his face, which added a touch of allure to his otherwise ethereal appearance.

For a fleeting moment, Li Muge thought that having a husband like that would be nice, even just looking at him would be nice!

No, that won't work.

She needed to remain rational and not be misled by appearances. In the Three Realms, no one knew better than her the true face behind Yun Qi's gentle mask.

"However, it's strange, where exactly is Yun Qi's Achilles' heel?" Li Muge went down into the hot spring, perhaps too focused on where Yun Qi's Achilles' heel was.

But they didn't notice Yun Qi's eyelashes twitching slightly.

"Hmm, where is it?" Li Muge's lips curled into a troubled expression. "No, I need to take a good look. I heard that the reverse scale glows. No, I need to search carefully."

Yun Qi was not affected by Li Muge's magic at all.

He was just curious about what this woman, Li Muge, really wanted to do.

Li Muge untied the belt binding Yun Qi's clothes and slid her fingers down.

No, does this woman even know what shame is? Did she drug him just to do something so shameless?

Yun Qi's ears turned bright red instantly.

Since Li Muge was being so proactive, he was starting to believe that Li Muge genuinely liked him.

Realizing this, Yun Qi felt a surge of anticipation. Of all things in the world, those who believe in emotions are the most foolish.

If Li Muge has feelings for him.

Things would become much easier if you were willing to become a pawn in his game.

Li Muge pulled open Yun Qi's clothes and searched for a long time, but couldn't find where Yun Qi's Achilles' heel was.

That shouldn't be the case.

She did her homework before she came.

A dragon's reverse scale is usually located on its heart, but when Li Muge touched Yun Qi's chest, he felt all over it and couldn't find the reverse scale.

Suddenly, Li Muge placed her hand on Yun Qi's chest. She frowned slightly. Something was wrong; a normal person's heart shouldn't be beating so fast.

Moreover, it was a man who was already unconscious.

Could it be? Li Muge narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly. Was it true? Yun Qi hadn't fainted at all.

Damn it, how dare this guy lie to her.

Li Muge's eyes gleamed with cunning as she suddenly came up with a brilliant idea that wouldn't backfire.

She cast a slight spell, and a bucket of red mud appeared in her hand. This red mud, mixed with crushed stinky leaves, was a famous delicacy in the demon realm.

The most amazing thing about stinky leaves is that when you blend them into juice and pour it into the soil, they won't have any smell at all.

But once it gets mixed with mud and smeared on a person, the person who gets it feels as if they've fallen into a cesspool.

Yun Qi closed his eyes, wanting to see what Li Muge was up to next.

Could it be that Li Muge has lost patience?

She planned to drug him and then do something indecent to him.

Yun Qi was conflicted. On one hand, he wanted to destroy the Three Realms, so he needed Li Muge as a pawn.

On the one hand, he was conflicted: should he really sacrifice himself for the greater cause?

His career is still clean.

It's an age-old problem.

Feeling that Li Muge had stripped him completely naked, Yun Qi finally couldn't help but open his eyes.

"Li Muge, how dare you..."

As soon as Yun Qi spoke, a strange smell entered his nostrils. He looked down and saw that, apart from his face, his hands and chest were covered with an unknown red mud smeared by Li Muge.

The moment he opened his mouth, a nauseating odor filled his nostrils, and Yun Qi, who had a severe case of mysophobia, felt as if countless insects were crawling all over his body.

Li Muge casually tossed the gloves on the ground.

He covered his nose in disgust.

"Demon Lord, please don't be disgusted. This is a beauty-enhancing yellow mud that I specially prepared for you. It can make your body fairer. Aren't we getting married?"

"I prefer someone with fairer skin."

"You... ugh..."

Yun Qi splashed some hot spring water, trying to wash off the red mud on his body, but the more he scrubbed, the smellier it became.

He was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Li Muge, you're dead! I will never... ugh... never let you go... ugh."

"Goodbye, Demon Lord. Please enjoy my heartfelt wishes." Li Muge transformed into a red light and left. If she stayed any longer, she probably wouldn't be able to hold back her vomiting.

Stinky Leaf, indeed lives up to its name.

Several days have passed, and Wuchen still hasn't woken up. The Empress stays by her son's side without sleep or rest.

She was a thousand years old when she finally had this son.

Wuchen was a promising and promising individual, always positioned as the successor to the immortal realm, yet he has now suffered this unexpected calamity.

"Your Majesty, please go and see my princess! She has been vomiting blood for the past few days and has fainted today."

"When she woke up, her hair had turned completely white overnight," the maid sobbed.

Waiting for the Queen to arrive.

Su Qing lay weakly on the chaise longue.

His once black hair turned white overnight.

"Child, what's wrong with you?" The Empress asked, somewhat incredulous.

Upon hearing the Empress's voice, Su Qing slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that it was the Empress, tears welled up in her eyes.

He weakly scolded the maid beside him.

"You silly girl, I told you not to tell the Empress Dowager, why won't you listen?"

Su Qing was so weak that she couldn't even say two words before she started coughing violently, even in front of the Empress.

He vomited blood twice more.

The Empress was so anxious that she immediately summoned the most skilled physician, the Heavenly Physician, to an audience.
