Zuan also removed his mask and said with a half-smile, "Has the princess forgotten that there is someone else here?"
Yun Yuqing lightly touched the ground with her jade-like feet and slowly sank her entire body into the hot spring, revealing only her smooth, rounded shoulders and delicate, beautiful collarbone: "You are different from others."
“But I’m not the King of Wu.” Zuan sighed inwardly. A mature scumbag should only care about sex, not feelings, but he found that since they started dating, he was losing his guard.
Sigh, why can't we just be good NTR characters? Why do we have to go for pure love? It feels like we're going to overdo it.
Upon hearing his words, Yun Yuqing hesitated, but ultimately offered no explanation, only letting out a sorrowful sigh.
An awkward silence fell over the room.
It was Zuan who spoke first: "You should get rid of the poison first, don't delay the important business."
"Okay." Yun Yuqing hummed in agreement, then closed her eyes and made a mysterious hand seal with both hands. Nine runes gradually appeared in mid-air and then gently fell onto the water's surface.
The water surface was shrouded in a thin layer of gold by these runes.
Immediately afterwards, Yun Yuqing sat cross-legged in the water and began to concentrate on expelling the poison. After a while, Zu'an noticed that wisps of faint black energy spread out from her body and dissolved in the water. Then, the golden runes flashed, and the black energy was gradually refined and eventually disappeared without a trace with the flowing water.
Zuan was somewhat surprised. According to legend, demons were supposed to be fierce and cunning, but Yun Yuqing was the complete opposite.
They were even worried that the expelled corpse poison might accidentally harm innocent people if it flowed out of the water, so they specially set up an array to refine the remaining corpse poison.
After a while, Yun Yuqing opened her eyes. Because of the steam from the hot spring, her face was fair and rosy, making her look extremely cute and charming: "Grandpa, I have completely neutralized the corpse poison."
Zuan also breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems those two guys really weren't lying to us."
Yun Yuqing smiled and said, "They are all important figures in the Southern Frontier. Befriending them should be helpful to you in the future."
Zuan's heart stirred. In fact, he had many questions he wanted to ask her, but he was worried that if he asked them, their relationship would never be the same again.
At this moment, Yun Yuqing swam to the edge of the pool: "Azu, squat down."
Zu An didn't understand, but he did as she was told. Yun Yuqing reached out and gently stroked his chest, then pulled aside the clothes he had just worn to avoid being checked by the city gate guards. She saw that most of his clothes underneath were soaked in blood, and her fingers trembled slightly: "Does it hurt?"
"It didn't hurt before, but it hurt a little when you touched it with your little hand," Zuan said with a smile.
Yun Yuqing was momentarily dazed. Back in the Wu Prince's mansion in Jibei County, he had said the same thing to her.
She couldn't help but give him a reproachful look: "What kind of time is this to be joking around like this?"
Zuan said, "Don't worry, I'm already at the seventh rank, with strong regenerative abilities, I won't die."
Yun Yuqing shook her head: "Although seventh-grade cultivators have powerful recovery abilities, a normal person would probably die on the spot if hit by a siege crossbow's charged attack. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, such an injury would take at least half a year to recover from, and might even leave behind a hidden ailment. Although the bleeding on your face has stopped, the injuries inside your body probably won't heal so easily. Come down quickly, and I'll treat you."
Whether she is a runemaster or a demon, she has corresponding healing methods.
Zu An's expression was strange: "Isn't the Princess inviting a wolf into the house by doing this?"
Yun Yuqing said with a hint of resentment, "Given our relationship, why the need for such formalities?"
Zuan laughed and said, "It was I who was being pretentious."
After saying that, he took off his clothes and jumped into the hot spring. Yun Yuqing swam over and gently cleaned his wounds with her hands. At the same time, her other hand emitted bursts of light as she treated him.
"It's all my fault for being late, causing you to suffer such a serious injury." Yun Yuqing's eyes reddened, with tears welling up.
Zuan shook his head: "If you hadn't arrived in time, I might have already died there."
Yun Yuqing bit her lip and remained silent, focusing intently on treating him.
Zuan also closed his eyes. He had been engaged in fierce fighting. Although the Primordial Chaos Sutra was automatically repairing his body, it was still not as effective as his active guidance in repairing it.
He didn't know if it was because Yun Yuqing was treating him, but he felt that the primordial energy around him was much stronger than usual.
He did not waste this opportunity, guiding the rich primordial energy to begin repairing the wound. The originally bloody hole gradually grew back and stitched up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Suddenly, Zu'an seemed to feel a "ding" in his mind, and for a moment he felt as if he had been enlightened.
He could clearly feel that the air was becoming sweeter. If the channel through which he used to absorb the primordial energy was a muddy country road, it was now a county highway, and the speed was many times faster.
"What is this?" Zu'an was both surprised and delighted.
At this moment, Mi Li's voice came: "I didn't expect you to break through to the third level of the 'Primordial Chaos Scripture' so quickly. Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of luck is that?"
She, dressed in red, appeared vaguely on the Tai'a sword beside her, but did not fully reveal herself.
Zuan was both surprised and delighted: "Empress, you've finally come out! I was almost killed by someone's trap just now and you didn't even warn me."
Mi Li snorted: "I told you before, if you want to become a true strongman, don't always think about relying on me. Besides, if a hunt of this level can take your life, you might as well be dead."
