46: The country is so beautiful

Chapter 46 The Beautiful Landscape

The Empress stared at Cai Yi's face and said in a deep voice, "Change back!"

Only then did Li Yunshu remember that he was still in Cai Yi's appearance.

Not only did he look like Cai Yi, but his body was also that of a woman.

Li Yunshu immediately took out a drop of his essence blood, dripped it on his forehead, and as his body stretched, he threw a mask aside.

Then, he reached out and hooked the Empress's neck, taking the initiative to move closer.

Although he didn't know what that thing on the Empress's back was, one thing was certain: his Pure Yang Qi was useful.

As the Pure Yang Qi flowed away,

his breathing became more and more rapid, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

A pair of large hands moved up and down in the water, finally resting gently on the Empress's slender waist.

Pei Xuanji's eyelashes trembled slightly; last time, she had eaten bleeding blue and fallen into an illusion.

But this time, all the sensations were so real.

So much so that she didn't even know what she was doing.

Holding the soft, fragrant body in his arms, Li Yunshu never expected things to turn out this way.

He had only wanted to enter the palace to test Thousand Faces; how did he end up kissing the Empress?

This kiss lasted for half an hour.

The wings behind the Empress had retracted at some point, and the runes on her back became fainter and fainter.

As the Pure Yang Qi was lost, his courage grew stronger.

Li Yunshu clearly felt that the Empress's breathing also became rapid, her beautiful eyes tightly closed, as if waiting for him to go further.

The landscape was so beautiful, he couldn't help but raise his hand, grasping the world in his palm.

That softness was held in his hand, and at this moment, time seemed to stop.

That night at Jingming Temple, after eating bleeding blue, it always felt dreamlike when he recalled it now.

But the current sensation was so clear that it was deeply etched in his mind.

With a slight squeeze of his hand, the Empress's eyes suddenly opened.

Li Yunshu's heart tightened, thinking, "Not good!"

Bang!

A splash of water erupted in the hot spring, and Li Yunshu's back hit the edge of the hot spring heavily.

The Empress reached out and grabbed the Dragon Robe from the clothes rack, draped it over herself, and then stepped out of the hot spring.

Spiritual power circulated around her body, and the water vapor on her robes instantly evaporated.

Li Yunshu simply lay in the hot spring, looking resigned.

Half an hour, his lips were numb.

"What is that thing behind Your Majesty?"

"You don't need to know."

At this moment, Pei Xuanji had regained the Empress's majesty. She turned around, not looking at Li Yunshu.

"Remember, what happened today—"

Li Yunshu quietly put the memory orb into his storage ring and quickly replied, "I know, I can't speak of it."

He seemed to know too many of the Empress's secrets.

"Mm."

The Empress hummed softly, and the great hall fell silent.

She didn't know why, but ever since she met Li Yunshu, everything seemed to be out of her control.

Since losing her Pure Yang Qi, the Seal in her body had become increasingly difficult to suppress, and even the effects of Medicinal Pills were getting worse.

Now, the secret of Ascension hadn't been figured out, and she was almost completely invested.

Again and again, this guy would probably become even more reckless in the future.

She had never thought that one day she would have any entanglement with someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Li Yunshu didn't know what the Empress was thinking.

"Can this mask really be seen through at a glance?"

"Something like this, a Mahayana cultivator can see through the flaw at a glance."

Hiss—

The three words 'Mahayana cultivator' were spoken lightly by the Empress, but they sounded somewhat shocking to Li Yunshu's ears.

He finally had a preliminary understanding of the top combat power of Great Chu: cultivation above the Mahayana Stage.

This was only one step away from Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension; no wonder the Empress was so eager to know the secret of Ascension.

Unfortunately, he still hadn't figured out why his Master was able to Ascend.

"The spy that Great Chu and Western Zhou exchanged back is a fake; he came to Great Chu to steal the spy list."

Saying this, Li Yunshu took out the information on Great Chu's spies embedded in the four countries and placed it by the hot spring.

"I remember that person was named Shi Chuan; Shangguan Shuangyue has met him—"

Mid-sentence, the Empress turned to look at the mask on the ground.

"So it was this thing."

Li Yunshu nodded.

"This mask was obtained from him."

Pei Xuanji looked at Li Yunshu floating in the hot spring, a hint of curiosity in her heart.

"Even Shangguan Shuangyue didn't see through the flaw; how did you know he had a problem?"

"Don't forget, my Master is the Lord of the Nine Heavens Who Responds to the Origin and Evolves Thunder and Makes Universal Transformation!" Li Yunshu replied self-righteously.

The Empress had her secrets, and he naturally had his.

Hearing the title Lord of the Nine Heavens Who Responds to the Origin and Evolves Thunder and Makes Universal Transformation, Pei Xuanji snorted coldly.

A mere Lord of the Nine Heavens Who Responds to the Origin and Evolves Thunder and Makes Universal Transformation; once she unsealed the Seal, she would see how powerful this person truly was.

In the hot spring, Li Yunshu spoke his thoughts.

"I want to use a trick, send a fake spy list to Western Zhou, and let them kill their own people."

After all, the Three-legged Toad was in Western Zhou; he had to go to Western Zhou somehow.

And Western Zhou had people specifically to meet Wen Shuyang; he could completely impersonate Wen Shuyang and go to Western Zhou.

If he could send false information to Western Zhou and let Western Zhou have a wrong purge, that would be best.

Even if things were exposed, it wouldn't be difficult for him to escape.

Then he would go directly to Mizang Forest, bring back the Three-legged Toad, and watch the Empress wear black silk.

"I advise you not to go."

As soon as Li Yunshu spoke, the Empress knew what he wanted to do.

However, Western Zhou had once sent envoys, hoping to trick this guy into Western Zhou through a marriage alliance.

Now you're running off to Western Zhou yourself, and you're even going to deliver false intelligence? Isn't that walking straight into a trap?

Li Yunshu tilted his head slightly, looking at the Empress.

"No matter what, your subject discovered a Western Zhou spy, which can be considered a great merit, right? What reward does Your Majesty have?"

Pei Xuanji took a step, hovering in the air above the hot spring.

Her jade foot stepped out, pressing on Li Yunshu's chest, and she asked from above, "What reward do you want?"

Looking at the jade foot so close, Li Yunshu's throat bobbed.

"I want to—improve my cultivation."

He now relied entirely on the vengeful spirits in the Soul Banner, but this was not his own strength after all.

Pei Xuanji looked down at her foot and said meaningfully, "I thought what you wanted was this."

Li Yunshu: Why are you speaking such a harsh truth!

"Have Shangguan Shuangyue create a fake spy list; I want to take it to Western Zhou."

He didn't understand Western Zhou well, and even if he wanted to create a fake spy list, it would be easy to expose flaws.

Shangguan Shuangyue was the Commander of the Town Demon Division; she understood all the countries better.

Seeing his stubborn insistence on going to Western Zhou, Pei Xuanji said coldly, "If you die in Western Zhou, no one can save you."

After saying that, she threw out a bottle of Medicinal Pills, turned, and walked out of the great hall.
