Your Majesty, you don’t want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 67 Fulfilling the promise [two in one chapter]

Inside the hot spring palace.

The walls are painted with the sun, moon and stars, and the columns are painted with flowers and branches.

Moreover, there is no dome above the main hall, so you can see the Blood Sea Soul Transformation Formation as soon as you look up.

The hot springs here are full of living water. The hot spring pool made of mutton fat and warm jade is wide and quiet, with dense mist.

Li Yunshu walked to the hot spring and stopped, then slowly put down the empress on his back.

Pei Xuanji stood next to the hot spring. She nodded and leaned over, brushing the water with her slender jade fingers, causing ripples.

Looking at his reflection in his hands, he felt a little dazed.

How could she have thought that one day she would become a mortal without any cultivation.

This feeling of powerlessness made her throat seem to be blocked by a foreign object, making it difficult to breathe.

At some point, a petal floated over and followed her fingertips, refusing to leave for a long time.

Pei Xuanji raised her head and saw flowers that Li Yunshu had found from somewhere and were being scattered into the pond one by one.

Looking at this scene, her heartstrings trembled for some reason.

Gently push the water waves with her delicate hands, pushing the petals away, revealing the clear water. The water is clear and has a faint fragrance.

The empress lifted up her dragon robe and sat beside the hot spring pool. Her delicate feet touched the petals in the water before sliding into the fragrant soup.

Set against the white jade-like skin, the petals are even more gorgeous and rosy.

He rubbed his feet gently, and the blood on the soles of his feet was washed away by the warm water.

Pei Xuanji gently pulled at the belt of her clothes, and the dragon robe on her body fell down.

It was as if the softest and most delicate silk in the world was attached to her skin and could not stay on her body for even a moment.

The empress' skin reflected in the pool water looked like flawless jade, exuding a soft and lustrous luster.

The long black hair slid down from her slender neck, and her breasts were half-covered in the hair.

The empress slowly walked into the water, and her soft hair spread out in the water, surrounded by flower petals.

She picked up a handful of flower liquid, and the translucent liquid was sparkling.

The warm water flowed down the creamy forearms, and the clear skin exuded a holy radiance, making it even more beautiful.

The hazy water vapor caressed the empress's rosy face. A shallow pool of clear water filled her collarbone, and a red petal lay on it.

The empress pulled her long, glossy hair from the back of her head to the front of her body. Her hair was soaked in warm water and dyed with the fragrance of flowers.

poolside.

Li Yunshu stood aside, looking stunned.

He took a deep breath, and the empress' body fragrance blended with the fragrance of flowers and lingered in the air.

After everything had settled, his mind began to imagine what the empress Yuzu would look like after wearing black silk stockings.

After all, the three-legged golden toad is still in his hands.

I won this bet.

Although the empress' cultivation is now sealed, she can't do anything to him.

But with the empress's vengeful temperament, she will definitely settle the score in the future.

While soaking in the hot spring, Pei Xuanji took out the elixir she had refined before and drank it.

In the past, she could basically suppress the seal in her body by relying on the elixir she refined and taking hot baths every day.

Since that night at Jingmingguan, he has gradually lost his balance.

After the battle just now——

Pei Xuanji lowered her head and looked at the runes on her body. The previous elixirs and hot baths had no effect.

Looking at Li Yunshu's reflection in the water, she bit her thin lips tightly, and even a trace of blood oozed out.

"come here."

Hearing this, Li Yunshu turned his head, looked at the empress's fragrant shoulders exposed from the water, and walked to her side step by step.

Through the water, you can vaguely see the runes on the Empress' body, which have not lightened up in the slightest.

If absorbing pure Yang Qi can suppress the seal, then he knows what he should do.

Of course, he couldn't mention this matter, he had to wait for the empress to take the initiative to speak.

Pei Xuanji glanced at Li Yunshu, who was standing by the hot spring, clenching his fists.

"Come down."

When she was good at cultivation, her commanding tone was clear and confident.

Now that she suddenly lost her cultivation, facing Li Yunshu again, she felt a hint of timidity in her heart for some reason.

Li Yunshu hesitated, took off his boots and socks, and jumped directly into the water.

Standing in the hot spring, looking at each other, Li Yunshu remained motionless.

Pei Xuanji raised her head and forgot to glance at the formation in the sky. How could she say those words.

"The formation is complete. Unless manpower breaks through it, you will be trapped here."

"When His Majesty breaks the seal on his body, it will be easy to break through this formation."

"You know it all?"

"I have read Sun's manuscript. Only the three-legged golden toad is used in the Forbidden Breaking Pill."

Now that the matter has come to this, Pei Xuanji has not denied it.

"I can't refine the elixir now, so I can only find another way."

After saying that, she gave Li Yunshu a look that you should understand.

Looking at the empress's face, Li Yunshu also knew that the other party was struggling.

Perhaps the empress was waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.

However, he does not.

Li Yunshu pretended not to see the empress's eyes and lowered her head to show her loyalty.

"Your Majesty, whatever your command, I will do my best."

"Are you-are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid?"

"I don't know what your Majesty means by this?"

Pei Xuanji stretched out her index finger and poked his chest.

"You know it well!"

She doesn't have that much time to spend here, not to mention that she has been away from Dachu for several days, and the government is prone to unrest.

Such a big movement in the Blood Sea Soul Transformation Formation will definitely attract the attention of the major sects in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

When someone outside breaks the formation and discovers that she has no cultivation, can she still leave the Western Zhou Dynasty alive?

Li Yunshu suppressed the laughter in his heart and gave the empress a step forward.

"Perhaps there is a better way than taking it orally."

Pei Xuanji's eyelids drooped slightly, and her throat couldn't help but roll.

She turned around and pointed back.

"Isn't that okay if I take it orally?"

After saying this, the empress picked up the dragon robe on the ground, wrapped it around her body, and walked out of the soup pool.

"You, please do it quickly and tell me when you're done."

Li Yunshu:? ? ? ? ?

He was just about to reach out and wrap his arms around the empress's waist, but he was in vain.

"How can I do it myself?"

Beside the hot spring, Pei Xuanji frowned slightly, seeming to have made a great determination in her heart.

She blushed, tilted her head and closed her eyes.

I thought silently in my heart, all for the sake of restoring my cultivation.

"Then you can figure it out."

Li Yunshu blinked his eyes and laughed dumbly. He looked at his hands.

"I need your help."

Hearing this, Pei Xuanji opened her eyes.

"How to help?"

Li Yunshu looked at the empress from head to toe, as if she was doing a multiple-choice question.

"You should still remember the bet between us."

"It's been so long and you're still thinking about the bet."

"Your Majesty's eloquent words are not meant to be a lie."

"You just promised to give me the three-legged golden toad."

Li Yunshu crossed his arms across his chest, looking like a rogue.

"But His Majesty didn't ask for it just now. Now I still have the three-legged golden toad in my hand."

When he faced the old woman of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he really wanted to give the three-legged golden toad to the empress.

Who knew that the empress was capable of transforming into a dragon? She was just as good as the old woman.

In order to prevent the empress from defaulting on her debt, it is better to cash in her bet now.Otherwise, when the empress really recovers her cultivation, she will not be at the mercy of others.

Pei Xuanji wrapped her dragon robe tightly again and felt angry.

"I didn't bring that thing."

Li Yunshu raised the ring in his hand and took out the black silk stockings and high heels.

"I just saw it all."

The Na Ring in his hand belonged to the Empress, whose cultivation was sealed, so he could only rely on him to take out the elixir in the Na Ring.

When he was getting the elixir before, he saw black stockings and high heels in the ring.

Pei Xuanji stared at Li Yunshu's starry eyes.

"What the hell do you want?"

In the hot spring, Li Yunshu walked to the edge and handed out the black stockings and high heels in his hand.

"Your Majesty wants to help me, but you must first fulfill your agreement."

a long time.

Pei Xuanji stared at the two things in Li Yunshu's hands without moving.

Seeing that she didn't move, Li Yunshu kept holding it up.

The two people stared at each other with eyes almost dry, but they were speechless.

In the end, Pei Xuanji compromised.

If someone outside breaks the formation, both of them will die here.

Her life is much more valuable than this guy's life.

"I have a golden word and am willing to admit defeat."

She snatched the things from Li Yunshu's hand, turned around and found a chair to sit down on.

After taking a deep breath, she crossed her legs on the chair.

Putting on the black stockings, the whole process took nearly a quarter of an hour, and she was so tired that she was sweating.

She really wanted to know who invented such a difficult-to-wear thing.

The dragon robe fell down, and only the calves wrapped in black silk could be seen.

After hooking up the high heels with slender fingers, Pei Xuanji slowly stood up.

This feeling, like walking on stilts, made her shake a little, feeling like she was going to fall down the next moment.

She had to admit that after wearing these shoes, they matched the socks on her legs very well, making her legs look more slender and stylish.

However, probably only the people who wear them know how tiring these shoes are.

Pei Xuanji couldn't help but stretch her arms to maintain her balance.

Li Yunshu stood in the hot spring and stared at it for a quarter of an hour.

During this time, he didn't know how many times he had swallowed saliva, and his mouth was now a little dry.

Now, all he could see was the pair of black silk jade feet that were getting closer and closer to him.

She raised her head and looked at Li Yunshu, whose eyes were so focused that they were dull in the hot spring.

In just a few steps, she could easily control the new shoes.

I don’t know why, but after putting on these shoes, I feel a sense of aura in my heart.

Da da da.

In the main hall, the sound of slender heels colliding with the ground was heard.

Pei Xuanji stepped forward step by step, and she did not stop until she reached the hot spring.

He just took one step forward and stepped on Li Yunshu's shoulder with the toe of his shoe.

"Now that I have fulfilled my promise, so what?"

At this moment, the world became silent.

Li Yunshu lowered his head slightly. For the first time, he experienced the feeling of heart pounding and suffocation.

His heart seemed to have stepped on the accelerator into the fuel tank, suddenly increasing the speed.

The throbbing of that moment made him forget everything around him.

……

outside the palace.

With such a large formation covering the palace, naturally word spread throughout the capital very quickly.

At this time, everyone was panicking and talking a lot.

"What's going on with this formation?"

"I don't know. This formation suddenly appeared. I only found out about it after hearing a report from my subordinates."

"What kind of formation is this?"

"You can't tell, this formation smells like blood."

"I heard that someone saw the Empress of Chu entering the palace, and then the formation was activated."

"Is it the formation she arranged?"

Listening to the discussions around him, only Wen Renjin knew that this formation was called the Blood Sea Soul Transformation Formation.

Moreover, he also arranged the formation on the orders of the Queen Mother.

He knew that this formation was prepared for Pei Xuanji.

So, Pei Xuanji really came to the Western Zhou Dynasty?
However, why did His Majesty and others not come out in advance after activating the Blood Sea Soul Transformation Formation.

Isn't it being refined in this formation?

After having this terrifying thought in his mind, he immediately understood the Queen Mother's intention.

Therefore, from the beginning, the Queen Mother had no intention of keeping His Majesty alive.

Looking at the formation in front of him, he always felt uneasy in his heart.

No news has come back from the Hidden Forest, and the Empress of Chu suddenly appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

He kept mumbling about the ins and outs of the matter, always feeling like he was missing something.

The more I tried to figure it out, the stronger the feeling of uneasiness in my heart became.

Logically speaking, since the Queen Mother activated the Blood Sea Soul Transformation Formation, it shouldn't take too long to seize the body.

Why is there still no movement at all?

"what happened?"

Just when he was feeling uneasy, an old voice sounded throughout the capital.

I saw an old monk holding a Zen staff coming from the air.

"Sea of ​​Blood Soul Transformation Formation!" He immediately frowned when he saw the formation above the palace, "Who set up such a bloody and terrifying formation?"

Wen Renjin's lips moved slightly, but he didn't know how to explain it.

This is the head of the Buddha of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and its strength is comparable to that of the Queen Mother. Do you want to tell the other party that this is the formation arranged by the Queen Mother?
Moreover, the situation within the formation is unknown.

If this old monk ruins the Queen Mother's good deeds, the Western Zhou royal family will be in danger.

However, not everyone knows the inside story like he does.

At this moment, many people had gathered outside the palace, including many officials from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The palace being besieged was a big deal, and it was related to their own interests.

"Abbot Yuan Mi, what kind of formation is this?"

The old monk whose Dharma name has disappeared has a solemn expression.

"This is a formation that uses the power of blood sacrifice to seize the body."

"what?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Those who can serve as officials in the capital are all excellent people.

Naturally, someone quickly realized that it was necessary for the Western Zhou Dynasty to seize someone else's possessions, and I'm afraid the only one was the Queen Mother.

How could the Queen Mother hand over the real power to His Majesty if her life was not approaching and she was no longer able to govern.

They could understand that the Queen Mother wanted to seize another person's body, but it was puzzling to arrange such a formation in the palace.

Is it possible to sacrifice the entire palace with blood?
Yuan Mie paused with the Zen staff in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Get out of the way, I'll break the formation!"

"No!"

Hearing this, Wen Renjin was the first to stand up and object.

The officials' eyes met, and they all knew that Wen Renjin had too much trust.

Now that he actually came forward to stop it, it further confirmed everyone's suspicion that this formation was most likely arranged by the Queen Mother.

Yuan Mie snorted coldly.

"Once this formation is launched, I don't know how many innocent lives will be lost here. I must not sit idly by and ignore it!"

As he spoke, Wen Renjin flashed past Wen Renjin and appeared in front of the formation wall, slamming down the Zen staff in his hand.
