The night rain continued to fall around them. The handsome young master’s face was inches away, and the waist in Daoist Xuanji’s arms emitted a warmth that made her feel comfortable.

H H

Daoist Xuanji blinked. Her originally red face didn’t change much, but there was still a hint of embarrassment in her eyes. It was as if she had suddenly been seen by an acquaintance when she was drunk alone.

Ye Jingtang waited for a moment. Feeling that there was no movement behind him, he raised his hand and waved it in front of Daoist Xuanji. “Are you awake?”

Daoist Xuanji’s drunkenness subsided slightly, but the effects of the medicine didn’t dissipate. In order to prevent this handsome constable from seeing that she had been drugged, she took advantage of her current position to strike first and tapped Ye Jingtang’s chest twice.

Tap, tap-

Ye Jingtang’s limbs immediately went limp, and he said in bafflement, “Miss Shui’er, what are you doing now?”

Daoist Xuanji didn’t want to do anything. It was just that there was no antidote earlier, so it was natural for her to resist. Now that she had the antidote, even if she didn’t use it, she had to keep it for emergencies.

Daoist Xuanji carried Ye Jingtang, who was taller than her, and dragged him to the side of the boulder to put him down. Then she sat behind him drunkenly and leaned back to back. She explained softly, “I’ve been poisoned by a cold poison and need to rely on you to get rid of the cold. Sorry for doing this to you.”

“Cold poison?” Ye Jingtang pondered for a moment and looked at the bonfire not far away. “If it’s cold poison, isn’t it more direct to warm yourself by the fire? Rely on me…”

“Women are yin, and men are yang. You won’t understand these things even if I explain them to you. If you ask any more questions, I’ll knock you out.”

“I have White Emperor Pills at my waist to detoxify poisons. Why don’t you take it and see the effect?”

Daoist Xuanji raised her hand, took the medicine bottle from Ye Jingtang’s waist, and swallowed a White Emperor Pill. Then she leaned against his back and closed her eyes to focus, trying to continue suppressing the medicinal power of the Lustful Fragrance.

However, the Lustful Fragrance wasn’t poison. After she took the White Emperor Pill, the Lustful Fragrance might not cause her blood and qi to be chaotic and harm her life, but the evil fire provoked was not so easy to extinguish.

After resisting for a moment, Daoist Xuanji began to feel restless, and her mind was full of thoughts such as, ‘This constable has a good temperament, is handsome, and has high martial arts skills’.

As a cultivator, Daoist Xuanji understood what she would do if her Dao Heart were lost.

In order to prevent things from getting to the point of no return, Daoist Xuanji simply turned around, laid Ye Jingtang down, took out a white handkerchief, and covered his face.

In Daoist Xuanji’s opinion, her actions were very natural.

But in Ye Jingtang’s eyes, she was just a drunk fool. After swaying behind him for a while, she slowly turned around and laid him down. It was obvious that she was preparing to do something bad.

Ye Jingtang’s limbs had mostly recovered. Seeing that his face was covered, he raised his hand and took off the handkerchief. “Miss Shui’er, I feel that you’re not clear-headed…”

Hearing this, Daoist Xuanji raised her hand and pulled out the sword beside her, her eyes slightly cold. “You know that I’m not clear-headed, yet you still dare to move!”

Ye Jingtang glanced at the gleaming sword and spread his hands helplessly. “Miss Shui’er, we’re not very familiar with each other. I came here to save you, but I didn’t expect you to be drunk here. Can’t you tell me what you want to do…”

“I’m not doing anything. I’m just a little cold.” Daoist Xuanji tapped Ye Jingtang twice again. Then she covered his eyes with the handkerchief and fell drunk beside him. “Phew… Phew…”

Ye Jingtang felt that he was coaxing a drunk.

Seeing that Daoist Xuanji’s breathing was unstable and she seemed to be quite uncomfortable, he didn’t say anything else. Fie just quietly waited for her to sober up.

But a few seconds later, a faint sound came from beside him.

Rustle…

Then she placed an arm on his chest and gently rubbed against him…

Ye Jingtang frowned. “What… are you doing?”

There was no response beside him, only the soft breathing of a woman…

“Phew…”

A moment later, the woman beside him suddenly tensed up and grabbed his collar. Her body trembled slightly as she uttered, “Ahh~”

Then there was silence. Her cheek rested on his shoulder, and her breathing gradually became even.

There was complete silence in the wilderness.

After Ye Jingtang’s limbs regained feeling, he pulled down the handkerchief on his face and turned his head to look. Daoist Xuanji’s face was flushed, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. Her breathing was even, and she looked like she had fallen asleep…

Ye Jingtang carefully moved the hands and feet of the drunk woman off him with a strange gaze.

As someone who had been through this before, he understood what had just happened. Daoist Xuanji should have been drugged with some kind of aphrodisiac, but she had still maintained a portion of her rationality. Therefore, she just hugged him and rubbed against him to deal with the drug…

This works too…

It only took a few rubs to solve it. Why is she so sensitive like Ninger…

Ye Jingtang was silent for a long time, not knowing how to assess this situation. Seeing that Daoist Xuanji seemed fine, he waited beside her for her to recover…

On the grand Wuxi Canal, a fleet formed by more than ten official ships was sailing in an orderly manner under the thunderstorm.

The official ships were full of black-armored guards dressed in qilin armor. On some ships, the officials of the Six Ministries and members of the imperial family were having discussions inside the deckhouses. The vague sounds of cups being refilled and clinking came.

In the center of the fleet was a huge three-story-tall ship with a black and red dragon flag hanging on it. Through the windows of the deckhouse, palace maids in colorful clothes could be seen coming and going in the corridors from time to time.

The top floor of the deckhouse was brightly lit. The windows were closed, and the rain pattered on them. On the window paper were the silhouettes of two peerless beauties.

“Liren, have you touched enough…”

“Empress Dowager, don’t worry. I’ll be done soon. Stand up…”

“Sigh…”

In the splendid room, the empress dowager, who had run out to relax, was wearing a dark red nightgown. She was sitting elegantly on a tea couch and straightening the clothes on her sizable chest.

The pretty princess, who was wearing a silver python robe, was sitting behind the empress dowager and holding her balls with both hands. Although she looked extremely focused, outsiders would feel that the outrageous princess was doing something immoral to the empress dowager.

Two days ago, when the empress dowager heard that Dongfang Liren was going to Wu Province as an imperial envoy, she had tried to ask if she could bring her out to relax. Liren agreed, and she was quite happy at first.

Only when she was on the way did she realize that this wasn’t a sightseeing trip at all. She couldn’t even show her face to avoid stealing Liren’s limelight. The only thing she did every day was to stay in their room and be a wooden stake for Liren to practice.

It had only been a few days since she came out, but the empress dowager already missed the empress’s dragon bed. Bored, she asked, “It’s almost autumn. Why isn’t there any news from your master? 1 thought 1 would meet her when we passed through West King Town and have a companion on the way…”

Dongfang Liren knew her master’s personality very well. She was even more flamboyant than her sister and loved to play more than her. It could be said that she would do anything except for serious matters. The empress dowager had been raised in the palace for a year, and it hadn’t been easy for her to nurture the aura of an empress dowager. Perhaps in half a month, her master would turn her into a crazy girl.

But Dongfang Liren had no intention of despising her master. After all, her master was really capable. She was proficient in zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting, and her talent in martial arts was the best among the women of the current generation. No matter how talented she and her sister were, they had only learned half of their master’s skills.

After not seeing her for a year, Dongfang Liren missed her a lot. She deliberated for a moment and said, “Master’s whereabouts are elusive, but she will certainly go to the capital in July. She’s probably wandering around somewhere now…”

“I bet she drank so much that she lost consciousness and forgot the time…”

After muttering this, the empress dowager suddenly thought of something and turned around. “Liren, are you going to confess to your master about you and Ye Jingtang, or are you going to let your master discover it on her own?”

Dongfang Liren’s focused expression froze slightly. She lowered her head and looked at the curious empress dowager. “What about me and Ye Jingtang…”

H ii

The empress dowager blinked. Seeing that Liren was pretending not to know, she didn’t say anything else.. Anyway, with Shuishui’s intelligence, she should know that Liren has someone she likes at first glance…
