Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 99: Hiding in the Bed

Having seen it all, seeing through everything.

Xin Zhuo was stunned. He really didn't expect to encounter this scene. It's only been a short while since he took a bath?

Qin Yuliu was also taken aback. As a respected scholar, no one dared to trespass into her room. Moreover, she was in the middle of bathing and was slightly drowsy. Despite possessing profound martial arts skills, she had no defenses.

"You..." Qin Yuliu intended to strike this little bandit dead with a palm, but due to her instructions, she furrowed her brows slightly and flicked two droplets of water gently.

The two small droplets of water were as fast as lightning, seemingly possessing immense power.

Xin Zhuo was unable to dodge and was forcefully pushed onto the nearby bed. His chest felt hot, almost causing him to lose his breath.

After finally focusing his gaze, he noticed that Qin Yuliu had already put on a water-green robe. However, due to the rush, she hadn't put on her undergarments. Her slender figure was graceful and quite impressive.

At this moment, her fair and delicate feet were in front of him, and her watery eyes stared coldly at him. "Xin Zhuo, what do you mean by this?"

Xin Zhuo glanced at her slender and fair neck, her wet hair, and averted his gaze, reciting his prepared lines.

Qin Yuliu's gaze grew colder, as if trying to discern something from his expression. She suddenly remembered the words this little bandit had said: "I often share a bed with Qin Yuliu...".

Could this little bandit have such intentions?

What audacity!

Although she thought about it, her cheeks still turned red. Although she was in her thirties and had taught martial arts for many years, she had never experienced intimate relations between men and women. In the past, she had been quite disdainful of it, but now...

Was she just exposed by this little bandit?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She raised her jade hand, ready to strike.

But then, Xin Zhuo suddenly looked straight at her and calmly said, "I deeply respect Qin Yuliu, and I have no intention of offending her. However, someone today has ill intentions towards you and secretly wants to offend you. I couldn't bear it in my heart, so I hurriedly came to inform you. I didn't expect... In any case, even if I have to risk being killed, I had to come and tell you. That's all!"

Qin Yuliu stopped, furrowed her brows, and pondered for a moment. "Who?"

Xin Zhuo pointed outside. "Take a look!"

Qin Yuliu swiftly turned around and saw a figure standing in the dark corner outside.

That figure had a somewhat astonished expression, seemingly not expecting Xin Zhuo to say such things.

Her clothes fluttered as Qin Yuliu swiftly moved to the courtyard. The strange old man was even faster and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yuliu seemed unwilling to let him go and followed in pursuit.

Soon, a piercing sword sound cut through the air.

Although it was despicable to use someone else's knife to kill, it was indeed effective!

Xin Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the bed, his face full of confusion. Where did this person come from and why did they want to kill him?

Since that's the case... I won't leave. I'll just hide here.

After half an incense stick's worth of time, Qin Yuliu returned, her long hair already dry. There were fine beads of sweat on her face as she looked at Xin Zhuo, furrowing her brows. "Where did you find this person?"

Xin Zhuo carefully observed Qin Yuliu, finding it difficult to determine who had won or lost. He shook his head. "I don't know. I only overheard his muttering, which seemed to be harmful to you, so I came to inform you."

Qin Yuliu pondered for a while and said, "You've done enough. You can go back!"

Xin Zhuo hesitated and said, "There's strength in numbers. How about I stay here for a while longer?"

Qin Yuliu coldly glanced at him, a trace of disdain at the corner of her mouth. "I can handle it myself. What does it have to do with you? Rest assured, that person has left and won't come back!"

Xin Zhuo thought for a moment and realized that he didn't have a reason to stay. He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and left.

In the courtyard, the killing intent was indeed gone. Unable to contain his excitement, he quickened his pace and returned to his room.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a beautiful figure sitting at his desk, holding a book and reading. When she heard the sound, she looked up, revealing a lovely and sweet face.

Who else could it be if not Huiruqing?

Xin Zhuo's heart, which had been held up, suddenly relaxed, and he exclaimed, "When did you arrive?"

Huiruqing tilted her head and glanced at him, smiling. "The enlightenment of the wordless monument is about to begin tomorrow. I was supposed to come at noon, but the Extinguishing Spirit Master and Master returned today, and we discussed some matters, which delayed me. I just arrived."

At this moment, she was wearing a moon-white monk's robe and a monk's hat, but it couldn't conceal her beauty and liveliness. She blinked her eyes, seemingly finding it amusing to meet Xin Zhuo in his room at night, or perhaps it was because Xin Zhuo had mentioned before that she had a private room, which was quite interesting.

She asked again, "It was quite difficult to find your room. Tell me, what were you doing?"

"This is a long story!"

Xin Zhuo walked to the table and naturally held her hands: "I actually just went out to look for you, thinking you wouldn't come, feeling quite disappointed."

Hui Ruqing tried to pull her hands away but failed, and smiled mischievously: "Well, here I am, little bandit."

"The snow hasn't melted, and you've traveled a long way. Are you cold? Let me warm you up." Xin Zhuo slyly tucked Hui Ruqing's hands into his long coat.

Hui Ruqing had a high cultivation level, so how could she feel cold? But she played along, blushing and whispering: "You little thief, always good at coaxing people."

"It's mainly because I care about you. By the way!" Xin Zhuo remembered something and quickly opened the gift box given by Shangguan Fanqing, revealing the bright pearls inside. "Do you recognize this?"

Hui Ruqing took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise: "This is the Hundred Year Cang Pearl from the West Sea Lake three thousand miles away. It has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. It's very rare. Where did you get it?"

"It's a long story, let's not mention it!" Xin Zhuo suddenly doubted why the unreliable Shangguan Fanqing gave him something for beauty and skincare. "We've known each other for so long, and I've never given you a gift. I'm giving it to you now. Do you like it?"

Regardless of how it was said, he wanted Hui Ruqing to protect him first, and then find a way to figure out who that strange old man was.

Hui Ruqing smiled and carefully held the pearl, putting it in her bag: "I really like it. You're thoughtful, little bandit!"

"You're welcome!" Xin Zhuo naturally took off his shoes and patted the space beside him. "Little nun, why don't you sleep here tonight?"

Hui Ruqing's face turned even redder as she glared at him: "You little thief, do you think I'm an ignorant little girl? I'm a nun, you know."

"I'm worried you'll be cold. Where were you thinking of going?" Xin Zhuo smiled and casually asked, "You have a wide network of information. Do you know..."

He described the appearance of the old man from earlier.

The smile on Hui Ruqing's face instantly disappeared as she coldly asked, "Has he harmed you?"

Xin Zhuo asked in surprise, "Do you know him?"

Hui Ruqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Rest assured, leave it to me. He won't dare to touch you in the future."

Xin Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.

"Master?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside. It was Bai Xuanji's voice.

Hui Ruqing was slightly startled.

Xin Zhuo was also curious about why she was here and immediately said, "What's the matter? I'm going to sleep!"

"Master, please don't sleep." He Liancheng's voice also came in. "We have some doubts and want to seek Master's advice."

Xin Zhuo refused, "Come back tomorrow, I'm tired!"

"We're going to decipher the Inscriptionless Monument tomorrow. We're confused and want to seek Master's opinion. Can we bother you, Master?"

This time it was Li Xiyue's voice, and her attitude was very firm.

All three talented students had come? It seemed that he couldn't avoid them.

Xin Zhuo dryly looked at Hui Ruqing.

Hui Ruqing bit her lip. As a nun and someone who was not on good terms with the Autumn Palace, she was invited because of the Inscriptionless Monument. It wouldn't sound good if this got out. "Let me hide first. Where should I hide?"

Xin Zhuo blinked and patted the space beside him.

Hui Ruqing glared at him, blushing, took off her shoes, and crawled into the bed, hiding behind him like a little cat, grabbing the back of his shirt with both hands.

"Master, you didn't refuse. We're coming in!"

"Creak!"

The door opened, and He Liancheng and Bai Xuanji walked in, first looking at Xin Zhuo still lying in bed, then surprisedly looking at the other pair of shoes by the bed.

The atmosphere instantly became awkward.

After solving a puzzle behind the Inscriptionless Monument, a super plot twist occurred!

Then they started changing maps and causing trouble everywhere, unveiling the veil of this world, revealing a mix of immortality and martial arts, and pointing out the theme.

The results were already poor, and I'm afraid that the few remaining readers will be lost—

The humble new author bows.
