"These are the thieves you caught? How come they're all dead?"
"Didn't I tell you to leave one of you alive?"
The King of Mingyue looked coldly at the royal guards kneeling before him.
"We originally intended to spare some lives, but they all died one by one, and we couldn't save them!"
The royal guards insisted that it was not their fault at all.
Now that things have come to this, the King of Mingyue Kingdom has no other choice. He waved his hand impatiently, dismissing the royal guards.
The bodies were handed over to the Ministry of Justice, who sent people to check for any marks on their bodies.
The royal guards immediately withdrew, and the matter was considered closed.
After leading Xu Yuehuai around the Mingyue Kingdom's capital city a few times and confirming that no one else was following them, Qi Guze changed direction and returned to the Tianxianglou branch.
He carried Xu Yuehuai into her room, threw her onto the soft quilt, and pressed his body down on her.
"You were incredibly bold tonight, ignoring my words and venturing into the palace of the King of the Underworld Moon."
"If we were to encounter any danger, I truly cannot imagine what would happen."
He pinched Xu Yuehuai's chin, a burning glint in his eyes.
Xu Yuehua blinked. "Didn't the prince just say he'd let me go? Is he planning to settle scores later?"
Qi Guze chuckled, but his expression was somewhat cold.
"I'll have to teach you a lesson, or you'll dare to do something like this again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Guze's thin lips covered Xu Yuehuai's red lips, licking and biting them.
After she rolled over, Xu Yuehuai forgot to breathe, clutching Qi Guze's clothes tightly, trying to make him stop.
Qi Guze was really determined this time and refused to let go of Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai's face turned red, and she almost fainted for a moment.
Qi Guze sensed the change in Xu Yuehuai and felt a pang of heartache, so he let go of her.
After being released, Xu Yuehuai was panting heavily.
Qi Guze pressed his fingers against Xu Yuehuai's red lips, his voice seductive.
"Will you dare to do this again next time?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, Your Highness, I'll never dare again!"
As Xu Yuehuai spoke, she held Qi Guze's hand and looked at him obediently.
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze's expression softened somewhat.
"In that case, next time you shouldn't go against my wishes and secretly do such dangerous things."
Qi Guze poked Xu Yuehuai's cheek, and Xu Yuehuai quickly nodded in response.
"Okay! I understand!"
"However, Your Highness, you've also kept some things from me!"
As she spoke, she took advantage of Qi Guze's inattention and flipped him off the bed, sitting on his waist!
Xu Yuehuai grabbed Qi Guze's wrists with both hands and placed them above his head.
She leaned down, pressing her neck against Qi Guze's, all the way to his ear.
Her voice was deep and alluring.
"Your Highness, aren't you going to explain this to me?"
"Your internal injuries!"
Xu Yuehuai bit Qi Guze's earlobe with a bit of force, turning his ear red, but making no sound as Xu Yuehuai did as she pleased.
Deep down, she felt a little pleased and hoped that Xu Yuehuai would do more of those little tricks.
Qi Guze collected his thoughts and said to Xu Yuehuai, "I didn't want you to worry! It's just a minor injury; some medicine will do the trick!"
"Take medication? What kind of medication would you need? The rare and precious red vine?"
As Xu Yuehuai asked, Qi Guze's expression stiffened slightly.
How do you know about red rattan?
"Who told you about this?"
Qi Guze assumed that one of his subordinates had told Xu Yuehuai about Hong Tengzi.
Xu Yuehuai said, "It wasn't someone else who told me; I overheard it in secret."
"Your Highness, tell me, isn't that right?"
As she spoke, Xu Yuehuai poked Qi Guze's chest with her hand, and he felt a tickling sensation in his chest.
"Yes! My internal injuries do indeed require the treatment of red vine seeds. I will definitely find a way to obtain them, so you don't need to worry about that."
Qi Guze didn't want Xu Yuehuai to take risks for his own sake, as that would truly be a loss for her.
Xu Yuehuai, however, felt somewhat indignant and asked Qi Guze, "Your Highness, do you really have a way to find the red vine?"
"Today, Duan Nian and his group sent so many people, and suffered so many losses, yet they still couldn't find the Red Vine in the treasure vault of the Underworld Moon King's palace. Do you have any other way to find the Red Vine?"
"Isn't there any other way to treat your internal injuries?"
Qi Guze was also conflicted, but now, if he wanted to treat his internal injuries, there really were only those two methods.
Seeing that Qi Guze remained silent, Xu Yuehuai knew that there must be other solutions.
"Your Highness, you should be more honest with me!"
Seeing how eager Xu Yuehuai was to know, Qi Guze told her.
"Actually, there is another way. We need to find someone whose internal energy is completely opposite to mine. That person also needs to have yin internal energy, so they must be a woman. Their internal energy strength must be exactly the same as mine. They can harmonize my internal energy to improve my internal injuries."
Xu Yuehuai was taken aback upon hearing this.
Isn't this just male-female dual cultivation?
For internal energy to be harmonized, one must be a woman of yin nature!
Xu Yuehuai suddenly sighed. If she also had internal energy, she could help Qi Guze!
Thinking of this, Xu Yuehuai suddenly came up with a good idea!
Her eyes flashed, and she grabbed Qi Guze's hand.
"Your Highness! Isn't the goal to find a woman with yin-type internal energy? I am a woman! Although I currently have no internal energy, do you have any way to make my internal energy surge to the same level as yours?"
If this method is used, Xu Yuehuai can quickly match Qi Guze's internal strength and then harmonize their internal strengths!
Upon hearing Xu Yuehuai's words, Qi Guze refused without hesitation: "This is absolutely impossible. You must not do this!"
"All methods that increase internal strength in a short period of time will cause enormous damage to the human body, damage that may never be recovered from!"
"I absolutely cannot allow you to suffer permanent damage to your body just to save me!"
"In my heart, you will always be number one! Don't even think about such a thing!"
Upon hearing Qi Guze's anger, Xu Yuehuai immediately rejected her idea.
However, this also made her realize that there must be a way to increase internal strength in a short period of time!
