Zhang Banxian opened his mouth, clearly not expecting such an outcome.
Back then, Qingqiu came to him crying and sobbing, saying that she had been disfigured and wanted revenge.
So he gave Qingqiu a bottle of hallucinogenic drug. As long as Qingqiu carried the drug with her, the people she wanted to bewitch would see her as having no scars on her face and being even more beautiful than before, as if a filter had been added.
Unexpectedly, Qingqiu used this bottle of medicine to seduce the Emperor of the Eagle Kingdom.
Although nothing happened between the two, Zhang Banxian still felt uneasy.
Later, the Eagle Kingdom Emperor failed in his attack on the Southern Kingdom and lost his usefulness. After kicking the Eagle Kingdom Emperor aside, Qingqiu returned to Zhang Banxian's side.
This time, Zhang Banxian felt his opportunity had arrived.
However, Qingqiu said that this bottle of medicine only gives people an illusion, it is always fake, and when she sees her own face, she still has scars.
For a woman who had once been adored for her beauty, the blow of disfigurement was immense. Qingqiu even considered suicide in front of Zhang Banxian.
Although Zhang Banxian would love Qingqiu no matter what she became, he couldn't bear to see her sad.
Therefore, he devised a way to completely change Qingqiu's appearance.
With this change, Qingqiu looks even better than before.
Then, she left Zhang Banxian again, willing to work as a maid at this inn in order to win Gu Mu's heart.
Zhang Banxian tolerated all of this...
But he couldn't stand it. In order to prevent Gu Mu from knowing about her relationship with him, Qingqiu actually told him never to come to see her again.
"Qingqiu, I'll support whatever you do... but can you let me see you just once?"
Zhang Banxian said humbly.
At this moment, Qingqiu saw that His Majesty's carriage was approaching the street from not far away outside the window.
Qingqiu knew that Gu Mu and Shen Ling had returned from shopping.
She turned around and looked at Zhang Bansian: "Why don't you hurry up and leave..."
Seeing Qingqiu's increasingly impatient face, Zhang Banxian knew that her heart was only for His Majesty at this moment, but he could only stammer, "Qingqiu, I can't leave... Although I have many magical artifacts, it takes time to make them. I've already given them all to you. Just being able to come in and see you has already used up the last of my magical treasures that I used to avoid being seen. Now, with so many guards outside, I can't leave..."
Zhang Banxian isn't the real Zhang Banxian; he relies on the people behind him.
The person behind him bestowed upon him a magical treasure, enabling him to stand before the people and deceive them.
But because he licked Qingqiu's boots, he gave all those things to Qingqiu. Now, he is actually just an ordinary person who knows a little bit of martial arts.
However, this inn was already guarded by guards to protect His Majesty's safety. Although Zhang Banxian had previously sneaked into the inn and met Qingqiu using his supernatural powers and treasures.
But now, he has no means to sneak out again without anyone noticing.
"Then why did you come!" Qingqiu was really angry.
She had previously been discovered by His Majesty for drugging Shen Ling and for raising fish, which led to His Majesty having a very bad impression of her.
Now she wants to create the image of an approachable and beautiful, innocent young girl.
If His Majesty discovers her relationship with Zhang Banxian at this time, wouldn't everything be ruined?
Then all her previous schemes against Zhang Banxian, and all the effort she put into changing her appearance, were for nothing?
When Zhang Banxian saw Qingqiu was angry, he panicked.
He didn't know when it started, but Qingqiu's every move, every smile, began to tug at his heartstrings.
It was as if he lived his entire life for Qingqiu.
Regardless of whether he was wrong or not, he immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, Qingqiu, I was wrong. I really missed you so much, I wanted to see you so much. I was afraid that His Majesty would take a liking to you. Just thinking about the possibility that His Majesty might take a liking to you and then you and him... you know, just thinking about that scene makes me faint!"
"But I belong to His Majesty. Being favored by His Majesty is the happiest thing for me. Why are you stopping me!" Qingqiu said with red eyes.
"I...I..."
Qingqiu stopped listening to Zhang Banxian's explanation because she saw that His Majesty had already gotten off the carriage and entered the inn.
Outside Qingqiu's door, someone was knocking: "Miss Qingqiu, His Majesty has returned. As planned, I will lead His Majesty to your room. Please be prepared."
The person who knocked on the door reminded Qingqiu of something, and then quickly left.
Qingqiu glared at Zhang Banxian with resentment, but had no choice but to say, "Hide under the bed first, and be careful not to make any noise!"
If a martial artist hides and uses all his strength to conceal his presence, he will generally not be discovered.
Unless that person's cultivation level is much higher than one's own.
Qingqiu knew that His Majesty was very strong, but Zhang Banxian was a half-immortal. Although he couldn't escape without anyone noticing, he should at least be able to hide there and not be discovered.
Watching Zhang Banxian crawl under the bed, the sheets almost dragged on the floor, obscuring the view underneath.
Qingqiu then opened the wardrobe and took out a thin shirt that she was only wearing underneath.
Beneath the thin shirt, a bright red bodice was faintly visible.
There are also large areas of snow-white skin.
Qingqiu sat in front of the bronze mirror, picked up some rouge and dabbed it on her lips. Looking at her pretty face in the mirror, she said softly, "Your Majesty, this time, I must have you."
Zhang Bansian, who was hiding under the bed,
Because the bed sheet was hanging down, he could only see Qingqiu's snow-white feet and slender ankles.
Above that, you can't see anything at all.
Immediately afterwards, he saw a piece of clothing slip down to Qingqiu's feet. Qingqiu then stepped over it, bent down, and picked up the clothing with her slender, snow-white hands.
Zhang Banxian could only see that the arms of those snow-white hands were covered by a thin, almost transparent, peach-colored shirt.
For a moment, Zhang Banxian felt a deep bitterness in his heart.
He knew that Qingqiu had specially changed into an outfit that was practically naked, but even more sexy than naked, in order to see His Majesty.
For a fleeting moment, he really wanted to lift the sheets and put his clothes on Qingqiu so that she wouldn't be dressed so revealingly for others to see.
But if that happens, Qingqiu might not get His Majesty and might even die in front of him.
Even though he was heartbroken, he didn't want Qingqiu to get hurt.
He bit his lip, and a bitter tear slid down his cheek.
It's alright. One day, Qingqiu will realize that he is her true love.
Zhang Banxian comforted himself in this way.
As soon as Gu Mu stepped into the inn, many waiters surrounded him and used various excuses to send Shen Ling away.
When Gu Mu was left alone, the waiter led him to their room in the inn. As they passed one of the inns, the waiter suddenly stopped.
