Chapter 067: Fulfilling Promises [2-in-1 Chapter]
Inside the spa palace.
The walls are painted with the sun, moon and stars, and the pillars are painted with flowers and branches.
Moreover, there is no dome above the main hall, and as soon as you look up, you can see the Blood Sea Soul Turning Array.
The hot springs here attract living water, and the hot spring pools built of mutton fat and warm jade are wide and quiet, and the mist is thick.
Li Yunshu walked to the hot spring and stopped, and slowly put down the empress on his back.
Pei Xuanji stood beside the hot spring, her chin leaned over, her slender jade fingers brushing the water, causing a ripple.
Looking at his reflection in his hand, he was a little stunned.
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 body, and it was a little difficult to breathe.
At some point, a petal floated over, following her fingertips, refusing to leave for a long time.
Pei Xuanji raised his head, only to see that Li Yunshu didn't know where to find the flowers, which were being sprinkled into the pool one by one.
Looking at this scene, for some reason, her heartstrings fluttered.
The slender hand gently pushes the water waves, pushing the petals away, revealing the clear pool water, the pool water is clear, and there is a faint fragrance.
The empress lifted her dragon robe and sat by the hot spring pool, her delicate feet first lit some petals in the water, and then slid into the fragrant soup.
Against the backdrop of white jade-like skin, the petals are more gorgeous and ruddy.
Rubbing your feet gently, the blood on the soles of your feet washed away by the warm water.
Pei Xuanjiyu gently tugged at the belt of her clothes, and the dragon robe on her body fluttered down.
It is as if the softest and most delicate silk in the world has a nostalgia for her skin, and it can't stay on her for a moment.
The water of the pond reflects the empress's skin like flawless jade, exuding a moist soft luster.
Long black hair slipped down her slender neck, her breasts half-hidden in her hair.
The empress slowly walked into the water, her soft hair fluttering in the water, surrounded by petals.
She picked up a bouquet of flower liquid, and the translucent flower liquid sparkled.
The warm water cascades down the creamy forearms, and the skin exudes a holy glow, making it even more beautiful.
The hazy water vapor caressed the empress's ruddy face, and there was a shallow pool of clear water at the collarbone, and a red petal was lying.
The Empress tucked her long, glossy hair in front of her head, soaked in warm water and dyed with a floral scent.
Poolside.
Li Yunshu stood aside, stunned.
He took a deep breath, and the empress's body fragrance blended with the fragrance of flowers, wandering in the air.
Everything had settled, and his mind had already begun to fantasize about what the Empress Jade would look like after wearing black silk.
After all, now the three-legged golden toad is still in his hands.
I won this bet.
Although now the empress's cultivation is sealed, she can't do anything to him.
But with the empress's grudgeful nature, she will definitely settle accounts in the future.
Soaking in the hot spring, Pei Xuanji took out the elixir he had refined before and took it.
In the past, with the elixir she had refined, coupled with a hot bath every day, she could basically suppress the seal in her body.
Since that night, Jingmingguan has gradually lost its balance.
After the battle just now-
Pei Xuanji looked down at the runes on his body, the previous pills and hot baths were no longer effective.
Looking at Li Yunshu's reflection in the water, she bit her thin lips tightly, and even oozed a trace of blood.
"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, the runes on the empress's body could be faintly seen, and they did not ease in the slightest.
If absorbing the pure yang qi could suppress the seal, then he knew what he had to do.
Of course, he couldn't mention this, and he had to wait for the empress to take the initiative to open her mouth.
Pei Xuanji glanced at Li Yunshu, who was standing by the hot spring in a daze, and clenched her fists.
"Come down."
When there is cultivation, her tone of command is straightforward.
Now that she suddenly has no cultivation, and facing Li Yunshu again, she has a trace of cowardice 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, that kind of words, how to say it.
"The formation has been formed, unless the manpower breaks it, you can only be trapped here."
"When Your Majesty breaks the seal on his body, it will be easy to break this array."
"You know everything?"
"The minister has seen the Sun's Codex, and only the Forbidden Breaking Pill will use the three-legged golden toad on it."
The matter has come to this point, and Pei Xuanji did not deny it.
"I can't refine that elixir right now, so—I can only find another way."
After speaking, she handed Li Yunshu a look that you should understand.
Looking at the appearance of the empress, Li Yunshu also knew that the other party was entangled.
Perhaps, the empress is waiting for him to take the initiative to speak.
However, he did not.
Li Yunshu pretended not to see the empress's eyes, and bowed his head to show his loyalty.
"Your Majesty commands, the ministers are willing to do the work of dogs and horses."
"You- are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid!"
"I don't know what Your Majesty means by this?"
Pei Xuanji stretched out her index finger and poked at his chest.
"You know it!"
She doesn't have that much time to spend here, not to mention, it has been a few days since she left Dachu, and the DPRK is prone to turmoil.
Such a big movement in this Blood Sea Soul Transformation Array will definitely attract the attention of the major sects of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
When someone outside broke the formation and found that her cultivation was completely empty, could she still leave the Western Zhou alive?
Li Yunshu couldn't help but smile in his heart and gave the empress a step.
"Perhaps, there is a better way than to take it orally."
Pei Xuanji's eyelids drooped slightly, and her throat couldn't help rolling.
She turned and pointed backwards.
"I'm not going to be able to 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.
"Y-you get it, tell me about it."
Li Yunshu: ?????
He was just about to reach out and grab the empress's willow waist, but he pounced.
"How can I get it myself?"
At the hot spring, Pei Xuanji frowned slightly, as if she had made a great determination in her heart.
She blushed and tilted her head and closed her eyes.
The silent recitation in my heart is all for the sake of recovering my cultivation.
"Then you can do it."
Li Yunshu blinked his eyes and smiled dumbly, he looked at his hands.
"I need your help."
Hearing this, Pei Xuanji opened her eyes.
"How can I help?"
Li Yunshu looked at the empress from head to toe, as if she was doing a multiple-choice question.
"You should remember the bet we made."
"When is it, you're still thinking about making a bet."
"Your Majesty's golden mouth, it won't be a trick."
"You just promised to give me the three-legged golden toad."
Li Yunshu crossed his arms around his chest, looking like a scoundrel.
"But Your Majesty didn't ask for it just now, and now the three-legged golden toad is still in my hands."
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 still had the hand of the dragon, and she was not an old woman at all.
In order to prevent the empress from defaulting on the debt, this bet is better to cash out now.
Otherwise, when the empress really recovers her cultivation, she is not at the mercy of others.
Pei Xuanji wrapped the dragon robe tightly again, and he didn't have a good airway.
"I didn't bring that."
Li Yunshu raised the ring in his hand and took out the black silk and high heels from it.
"I just saw it all."
The ring in his hand belongs to the empress, and the empress's cultivation is sealed, so if you want to take out the pill in the ring, you can only rely on him.
And when he was taking the pill before, he saw that the black silk and high heels were in the ring.
Pei Xuanji stared at Li Yunshu's starry eyes.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
In the hot spring, Li Yunshu walked to the edge and handed out the black silk and high heels in his hand.
"If Your Majesty wants to help me, you need to honor the agreement first."
Long.
Pei Xuanji stared at the two things in Li Yunshu's hand and didn't move.
Seeing that she didn't move, Li Yunshu kept holding it.
The eyes of the two men were almost dry, but they were speechless.
In the end, Pei Xuanji compromised.
In case someone outside breaks the formation, both of them will die here.
Her life is worth more than this guy's.
"I am willing to gamble and lose."
She snatched the things from Li Yunshu's hand, turned around and found a chair to sit down.
After taking a deep breath, she crossed her legs in her chair.
After putting on the black silk, the whole process lasted 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 thing to wear.
The dragon robe fell, and only the calves wrapped in black silk could be seen.
After the slender fingers hooked the high heels, Pei Xuanji slowly got up.
This feeling like stepping on stilts made her shake a little, and she always felt that she was going to fall down the next moment.
She had to admit that the shoes matched the socks on her legs very well after wearing them, and her legs looked more slender and shapely.
However, probably only the person who wears it knows how tiring these shoes are.
Pei Xuanji couldn't help but stretch her arms to keep her body balanced.
Li Yunshu stood in the hot spring and watched for a quarter of an hour.
He didn't know how many times he had swallowed, and now his mouth was a little dry.
Now, his eyes were only the black silk feet that were getting closer and closer to him.
She raised her head and looked at Li Yunshu, whose gaze was focused on the sluggishness in the hot spring.
In just a few steps, she was able to handle the new shoes with ease.
For some reason, after wearing these shoes, I felt a momentum in my heart.
Da-da-da-da.
In the main hall, there was the sound of slender heels colliding with the ground.
Pei Xuanji stepped forward step by step, and she didn't stop until she walked to the hot spring.
With that step, the tip of his shoe stepped on Li Yunshu's shoulder.
"I've made good on my promise now, so what?"
At this moment, the world became silent.
Li Yunshu lowered his head slightly, and for the first time he experienced the feeling of suffocating his heart.
His heart felt as if he had stepped the throttle into the tank, and he jerked up the speed.
The throbbing of that moment made him forget everything around him.
……
Outside the Royal Palace.
Such a large array enveloped the imperial palace, and naturally it quickly spread throughout the Jingshi.
At this time, everyone was panicked and discussed.
"What the hell is going on with this big array?"
"I don't know, this big array appeared suddenly, or I only learned about it after listening to someone's report."
"What kind of formation is this?"
"I can't see that this formation exudes a bloody aura."
"I heard that someone saw the Empress of Great Chu enter the palace, and then the formation was opened."
"Could it be the formation she arranged?"
Listening to the discussion around him, only those who heard it knew that this formation was called the Blood Sea Soul Turning Array.
Moreover, the formation was also arranged by him on the orders of the Queen Mother.
He knew that this formation was prepared for Pei Xuanji.
So, did Pei Xuanji really come to the Western Zhou?
It's just that why did the Blood Sea Soul Turning Array be activated, but His Majesty and the others did not come out in advance.
In this formation, isn't it refined?
After this terrifying thought arose in his heart, he immediately understood the Queen Mother's intentions.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the Queen Mother did not intend to keep Her Majesty alive.
Looking at the formation in front of him, he always felt a sense of unease in his heart.
There has been no news from the Hidden Forest so far, and the Empress of Great Chu suddenly appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
His mouth kept muttering the ins and outs of the matter, and he always felt as if he was missing something.
The more I tried to figure out a clue, the stronger the uneasy feeling in my heart.
It stands to reason that the Queen Mother has urged the Blood Sea Soul Turning Array, and it shouldn't take too long to seize it.
Why hasn't there been any movement yet?
"What's going on?"
Just when he was restless, an old voice resounded through Jingshi.
I saw an old monk holding a Zen staff coming from the sky.
"Blood Sea Soul Turning Array!" Seeing the formation above the palace, he immediately frowned, "Who arranged 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 his 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.
In case this old monk spoils the good things of the Queen Mother, the Western Zhou royal family is in danger.
However, not everyone knows as much as he does.
At this moment, many people had gathered outside the palace, including many officials of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The siege of the palace is a big deal, and it is in their own interests.
"Abbot of the Circle Annihilation, what kind of formation is this?"
The old monk with the name of the law was solemn.
"This is a formation that uses the power of blood sacrifice to take away."
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
The people who can be officials in Beijing are all human beings.
Naturally, someone reacted quickly, and it was necessary for the Western Zhou Dynasty to take away others, and I am afraid that only the Queen Mother was the Queen Mother.
If the Queen Mother was not close to her longevity and could no longer govern, how could she put real power in the hands of His Majesty today.
They can understand that the Queen Mother wants to take away others, but it is incomprehensible to arrange such a formation in the palace.
Could it be that the people of the entire palace were sacrificed with blood?
Yuan extinguished the Zen staff in his hand and shouted.
"Get out of the way, the old man is here to break the formation!"
"No!"
Hearing this, Wen Ren was the first to stand up and oppose it.
The eyes of the hundred officials met, and they all knew that Wen Ren was too trusting.
Now he actually came forward to block it, which further confirmed the conjecture in everyone's hearts, and most of this formation was arranged by the Queen Mother.
Yuan Xuan snorted coldly.
"As soon as this big array opens, I don't know how many innocent lives have been lost here, and the old man must not sit idly by!"
As he spoke, his figure flashed past Wen Renjin and appeared in front of the wall, slamming down the Zen staff in his hand.
