Drops of water flowed down Jiuning's cheeks, fell onto his chest, and hid in the deep mountains.

Her slender and smooth calves were raised high, and water droplets on her body flowed to the ground with her footsteps.

Jiuning picked up the bath towel hanging beside her, wrapped it around her body, and gently lifted her hair.

'Bang' Suddenly, the door was pushed open by someone from the outside, and her appearance at the moment was clearly visible in the candlelight.

Mu Sheng's face was even redder than before, his eyes were a little blurry, and his whole body was red.

But it can be seen that Jiuning did not make any inappropriate moves, but suppressed herself tightly. The most offensive thing she did was to take the handkerchief from the other person's hand and wipe her dripping hair.

Jiu Ning didn't move, and just enjoyed the other party's service. He just listened to the sound of swallowing saliva behind him, then lowered his head and smiled evilly.

The moisture on his hair was absorbed by the handkerchief. Mu Sheng's eyes were red, and he put down the towel with trembling hands, wanting to turn around and leave.

Jiu Ning stood up, and the buttons of the bath towel on her back accidentally broke open, revealing a large area of ​​white skin.

Mu Sheng was startled and immediately turned his head to look away. His heart was beating so fast that his brain was working non-stop.

The heart lotus in his sea of ​​consciousness didn't want to let him go either. It kept flashing red light, extending to every part of his limbs and bones.

"You...you should quickly...get dressed."

Jiu Ning lowered his head, slightly tilted his body, and looked at Mu Sheng.

"Then you should get out!"

When Mu Sheng turned his head, he saw the lotus-root-like arms and the graceful figure. When he lowered his head, the spring scenery came into his eyes, smooth, round and moist.

As long as he stretches out his hand, he can hold the person in his arms, and the person will be his and will never escape again.

He suddenly clenched his fists, shaking with nervousness, and his palms touched her back involuntarily.

"Gudong!" The sound of swallowing hard came into Jiuning's ears. Mu Sheng's muscles tensed. He looked at himself, closed his eyes, and turned his gaze back to Jiuning.

From his profile to his neck, and then to the peaks between his legs, his self-control was collapsing bit by bit.

Jiuning felt that the gaze was going to pierce her, and suddenly a warm body came up from behind.

"Zi Qi, do you know what you are doing now?"

Mu Sheng's voice was hoarse and he could no longer control himself. He lowered his head and kissed the soft body fiercely.

Jiu Ning sighed in her heart. She also wanted to be with Ziqi, but was it really okay now?

Once her inner elixir is fused, it will either be completely shattered or completely fused into an immortal body.

If it was broken into pieces, she could stay by his side, but she would be letting down the monsters of Qilin Mountain who had paved a path for her with their lives.

"Jiujiu, do you love me?"

Mu Sheng buried his head in her neck, and his whole body was surrounded by the fragrance of flowers, which made him unable to wake up.

"Jiujiu, do you love me..."

Seeing that the other party was slow to answer, Mu Sheng's eyes turned red and moist in disappointment.

"I thought you always knew the answer..."

Jiu Ning's tone was a little cold. She didn't know how to deal with the current situation best.

Since they will be separated in the future, should she give her Ziqi something beautiful now, or should she not let him get too deeply involved?

"I don't know—if you don't tell me, I'll never know."

"You say... I want to hear..."

Mu Sheng hugged her tightly, with no intention of letting go.

"Let's get married, okay?"

Getting married? Jiuning's heart skipped a beat. He raised his hand and put it around the other person's waist.

Mu Sheng smiled widely where Jiu Ning couldn't see.

“Let me think…”

The smile froze on his face, and in an instant, black air began to emanate from his whole body.

"why?"

Jiu Ning didn't dare to look into the other person's eyes and lowered his head.

"Give me a few days, and I'll get back to you when the Bible is finished."

"What's bothering you? What do you want to do? Tell us and we can solve it together?"

Jiu Ning did not answer Mu Sheng's question. It was her fault tonight. She shouldn't have teased Mu Sheng just now.

She couldn't stand the sad atmosphere in the room, so she pushed the person out of the door and settled down next to it.

Mu Sheng pounded the door hard and kicked the wall.

"Jiujiu, we have been together for so many years. Lately, you have been worried all day long, but you refuse to tell me anything."

"Am I so unworthy of your trust?"

No matter how Mu Sheng questioned, the person in the room never said a word to him...

Early the next morning, they gathered together. Jiu Ning kept her head down, avoiding Mu Sheng's sight.

The few of them exchanged the information they had found yesterday, and she took out the one used by the princess from a pile of demon blood incense.

"This incense can cause hallucinations. What the victim sees can be completely determined by the caster. However, the duration of this incense is extremely short."

"That is to say, it won't last for several days like the Emperor Princess did."

Everyone was in deep thought, and Miaomiao's eyes lit up and she spoke.

"If the problem isn't with the fragrance, then the problem is with the person."

As they were talking, an official from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory came over and invited them to have a chat.

"Fellow alchemists, the head of the Tianxuan Pavilion of the Imperial Observatory invites you!"

Ever since they entered Shengjing, people from all walks of life have appeared one after another, and now there is a leader, whose origin is unknown.

"This chief is the most skilled expert in our Imperial Observatory. He just conquered a great demon by himself a few days ago and was promoted to chief by the chief inspector."

Before Jiuning and the others could express their curiosity, the little celestial official leading the way began to introduce things to them.

As soon as they arrived at Xuantian Pavilion, they heard the sound of a piano from inside the pavilion. The person looked like a master, with his back to them. The music of the piano stopped abruptly and the person slowly turned around.

"Guo Xiu!"

"That Guo Xiu who single-handedly subdued the great demon?"

Guo Xiu chuckled and didn't mind the teasing at all.

"I called you here today to tell you a message. The princess was poisoned and she faked it herself."

Seeing that the others were not surprised at all, Guo Xiu himself was surprised.

"So you've already checked everything."

Guo Xiu felt bored and stroked his beard, watching the people opposite him staring at him with scrutiny. Finally, it was Mu Yao who spoke.

"What else did you ask us to do today besides talking about the princess? Don't be so pretentious, just be frank."

Guo Xiu clapped his hands and laughed twice, and he looked much more righteous than when he was in Zhijing Town.

He was no longer as sloppy and timid as before, and now he had the aura of a superior.

"I came to you because I really have something to ask of you. I beg for your help."

Seeing Guo Xiu's serious expression, the five of them also stood on high alert. However, what they said shocked Jiuning.

"I want to investigate the incident at Qilin Mountain. I was ordered to chase the water monster all the way to Lost Valley, where my brothers and sisters died tragically.

Qilin Mountain is the source of this whole thing. I must get to the bottom of it. I'll wait and see them later so I can have an explanation."

"No need to check. I can tell you what you want to know about Qilin Mountain, but you also need to help me find out one thing? How about it?"

"Jiujiu, you—"
