161: Chapter 161 Why did the Peach Blossom Gu have to come at this time of year!

Their bodies were pressed closely together, with warm spring water flowing between their skin.

Xiao Caiyue tilted her head back, about to say something—

Ye Changge had already lowered his head, directly capturing her two soft lips.

"Mmm..."

Xiao Caiyue only had time to let out a soft murmur before it was blocked by that warm sensation.

Lips pressed together, their breaths intermingled.

The steam from the hot spring wreathed around them, enveloping the two tightly.

Ye Changge's hand slowly caressed her waist, feeling that delicate, smooth sensation.

He gently took hold of her lower lip, his tongue slowly tracing it, savoring the sweetness that belonged solely to her.

Xiao Caiyue was a bit stiff at first, but gradually, her body softened.

Her hands unconsciously climbed up to his neck, responding clumsily and shyly.

The water ripples gently swayed, lapping against their bodies.

Moonlight shone through the swirling steam, shrouding everything in a hazy halo.

It was as beautiful as a painting.

Ye Changge kissed her more and more deeply, and his hands began to grow restless, slowly moving up along her slender waist—

Just at this moment of intoxication—

Within Ye Changge's Sea of Consciousness, the long-dormant peach blossom gu suddenly gave a slight twitch!

His movements paused slightly.

Before he could react, the peach blossom gu jumped violently again!

This jump was even more intense than before!

It pulsed erratically, its rhythm chaotic, as if it were frantically sounding a warning!

Ye Changge felt a slight shiver in his heart.

"Huh? A peach blossom? And it's pulsing this strongly?"

This peach blossom gu was a rare treasure he had obtained through a lucky draw when his offspring reached ten people back then.

It could sense the arrival of romantic luck and could also perceive Opportunities or crises related to women.

At this moment, it was pulsing so violently—

Could it be that there was something in the water?

Ye Changge's heart tightened, and he quickly lowered his head to look into the water.

The hot spring was crystal clear; apart from their intertwined figures, there was nothing else.

However, the next moment—

A violent spatial fluctuation suddenly came from the air above!

The fluctuation was surging and powerful, as if something was forcibly tearing through space!

Ye Changge abruptly looked up!

He saw an invisible ripple suddenly spread out in mid-air!

Wherever the ripple passed, the two layers of concealment Formation he had set up were easily pierced through, as if they were made of paper!

Immediately after—

A spatial rift appeared out of thin air!

The rift grew larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye, it expanded to several zhang in width!

From within the rift, two figures fell straight down like kites with broken strings!

Splash! Splash!

Two loud bangs!

Water splashed everywhere!

Those two figures crashed straight into the hot spring, stirring up a sky full of mist!

"Ah—!"

Xiao Caiyue was caught off guard and let out a cry of surprise!

She subconsciously hugged Ye Changge tightly, shrinking into his arms, her body trembling slightly.

Ye Changge was also deeply shocked.

But his reaction was extremely fast; almost the instant those two figures hit the water, he picked up Xiao Caiyue and leaped—

Swish!

The two instantly leaped out of the hot spring and landed steadily on the bank.

Ye Changge flipped his wrist, and a cleaning talisman was placed on the both of them.

A flash of spiritual light passed, and the water stains on their bodies vanished completely.

Without pausing, spiritual power surged in his hands, quickly condensing into two sets of dry clothing, and in the blink of an eye, he had them both dressed neatly.

Once Xiao Caiyue had her clothes on, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But immediately after, that shameful scene from just a moment ago flooded her mind—

She had finally mustered the courage to agree to Ye Changge doing it outside, only to be caught in the act!

And it was in the hot spring, when they were baring everything to each other!

Xiao Caiyue felt her face burning intensely; she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Too embarrassed to lift her head, she could only bury her face deeply into Ye Changge's chest, clutching his lapels tightly with both hands, not daring to look at anyone.

Her two pink fists beat against his chest, one after another, listlessly.

One, two, three.

Each blow carried embarrassment, grievance, and resentment that had nowhere to be vented.

Ye Changge felt guilty being beaten by her and scratched his head sheepishly.

He hadn't expected this to happen either.

This peach blossom gu was usually quiet, so why did it have to jump frantically at a time like this?

And it jumped so violently, so urgently, as if saying: "It's here, it's here! A big peach blossom is here!"

And what was the result?

It was indeed here.

But it had come too suddenly.

Ye Changge sighed helplessly, steadied himself, and looked toward the hot spring.

The water splashes gradually subsided, and two figures emerged from the water.

By the moonlight, he could clearly see the faces of the two people.

One of the figures was a petite young girl.

She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a fair, delicate oval face, curved eyebrows, red lips, and white teeth.

The most striking thing about her was her eyes—clear and bright, with distinct black and white, like a mountain spring, untainted by a speck of dust.

At this moment, those eyes were looking around in confusion, clearly still dazed.

Ye Changge saw that face clearly, and his pupils constricted slightly.

"Su Xiaotang?"

The young girl he met outside the Secret Realm that day, the innocent girl who gifted him the foundation establishment spiritual item.

She was also the one he saw in the intelligence report a few days ago, the Personal Disciple of the Five Gu Sect's Spider Gu Envoy, Nangong Zili.

A Demonic Path Cultivator.

Thoughts flashed through Ye Changge's mind like lightning, but his expression remained calm.

Su Xiaotang floated up from the water, looked around in confusion, and her gaze landed on the tall, slender figure on the bank.

Moonlight shone down, illuminating that incomparably handsome face.

With sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, a face like jade, a gentle and jade-like aura faintly swirled around his entire body.

Ling Xiaotang was stunned at first.

Then, those clear eyes suddenly lit up, like fireworks suddenly blooming in the night sky.

"Senior Ye!"

She called out in surprise, her voice crisp and melodious, carrying undisguised excitement.

As soon as the words left her mouth, she froze.

Immediately, the smile on her face stiffened, replaced by a trace of panic and helplessness.

She lowered her head, not daring to look at Ye Changge again.

She remembered her current situation.

A Demonic Path Cultivator.

A fugitive being hunted by the Qingshui Sword Sect.

She and her Revered Master had exhausted all their strength to escape here, barely managing to tear through space to survive, only to fall exactly here.

To fall right in front of Senior Ye.

In front of the person she had been thinking about day and night.

Ever since they met outside the Secret Realm that day, Ye Changge's figure had been deeply branded in her heart.

At that time, she was just an inexperienced little Cultivator who had met this handsome and gentle Senior at the entrance of the Secret Realm.

He gave her a lift on his way, and she had kept it in her heart.

Later in the Secret Realm, she obtained that foundation establishment spiritual item, and thinking it might help him, she entrusted someone to pass it on.

She had wanted to thank him in person, but she had never been able to wait for him.

This time, accompanying her Revered Master to the Zhao State to carry out a mission, she had actually been secretly looking forward to it.

Looking forward to seeing him again.

But she was also afraid of seeing him.

Because now, she was a Demonic Path Cultivator.

If he found out... would he be disappointed?

Would he think she was a bad person?

Ling Xiaotang's mind was in total chaos, and she stood there at a loss.
