Chapter 158 Bathing Night Raid
Chapter 158 Bathing Night Raid
The Demon Spring Palace hides a natural hot spring pool.
As night falls, the place is shrouded in a thin mist, with rising clouds and ethereal air, making it feel like a fairyland.
The air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and the fresh scent of grass and trees, which was very pleasant.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan followed the winding path to the hot spring pool.
The moonlight spilled onto the water, creating shimmering waves, like the Milky Way descending to earth.
They stopped and gazed at the beautiful scenery before them, their hearts filled with peace and anticipation.
In order to heal their injuries and restore their strength, the two decided to bathe in the hot spring.
Qiu Ziyue gently took off her outer garment, her face flushed with embarrassment.
She had never been so open with anyone before, especially with someone as close as Qi Yuxuan, and the shyness in her heart was hard to hide.
"My wife, don't be shy. I'll close my eyes and not look at you."
Qi Yuxuan said gently, his voice filled with concern and tenderness.
Qiu Ziyue nodded, bit her lower lip lightly, and continued to undress.
She knew that this moment was for a better version of herself, and also for the trust between them.
When Qiu Ziyue finally finished undressing, she slowly stepped into the hot spring water.
The water temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold, as if it were tailor-made for her.
To adjust the water temperature, Qiu Ziyue tied a bell to the edge of the magic spring pool with a rope.
She rings the bell twice when the water is hot, and once when the water is cold.
Liu Xu was at the other end of the rope, and she listened to the bell as she adjusted the water temperature for Qiu Ziyue.
She closed her eyes, feeling the soothing warmth of the hot spring water, and gradually relaxed.
Qi Yuxuan also took off his coat and stepped into the water.
He closed his eyes, keeping his promise.
The two figures appeared and disappeared in the hazy mist, as if they had blended into the world.
"The water here is so good, it feels like all my fatigue has been washed away," Qiu Ziyue said softly, her voice filled with satisfaction.
Qi Yuxuan smiled slightly: "Yes, I hope you can recover well here and stop having headaches."
As the hot spring soothed them, their bodies and minds gradually relaxed.
Qiu Ziyue felt an unprecedented sense of peace, as if all her troubles had been washed away by the water.
Qi Yuxuan took the initiative to hug Qiu Ziyue, and the two closed their eyes, their skin touching, and gently kissed.
After a long time, Qiu Ziyue opened her eyes, looked at the scenery around her, and felt grateful.
"Yu Xuan, you're so kind."
Qiu Ziyue said softly, her voice tinged with emotion.
Qi Yuxuan turned his head, his eyes full of tenderness: "I am your husband, it is only right."
The two smiled at each other, and as their souls quietly merged in the hot spring, they began to merge their bodies as the old woman had instructed.
Tender and affectionate, full of love and romance.
At this moment, they are not only healing their wounds, but also strengthening their relationship and making their initial understanding and trust even more solid.
Hot spring water contains abundant minerals, which can promote blood circulation and accelerate wound healing.
Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan soaked in the hot spring for a long time, and the toxins in their bodies slowly dissipated with their sweat.
"I feel much better, and the meridians in my body seem to be gradually clearing up."
Qiu Ziyue said softly, a slight smile on her face.
Qi Yuxuan nodded: "Yes, this hot spring really does have amazing effects. We should make good use of this time and strive to recover as soon as possible."
As time went by, the two gradually found inner peace and strength in the hot spring.
They knew that this period was not only a healing process, but also a journey for the couple to strengthen their relationship.
As night fell, "drip, drip, drip"
As they were bathing and consummating their marriage, an alarm sounded, and a group of men in black were silently approaching.
"Qiu Ziyue, come out and hand over 'Tao Family Mystic Secrets'."
…………
The man in black gradually approached, and his voice became clearer and clearer.
Lu Yuanchangming and his many elite soldiers were resting quietly in tents set up in the woods.
Because they had received a message from Qiu Ziyue saying that if anyone attacked, they should first get through the traps set by Qiu Ziyue.
They are the last line of defense if all other mechanisms are breached.
"Wife, whose voice does this sound like?" Qi Yuxuan asked.
"It seems to be that fearless Ying San Niang," Qiu Ziyue said.
“Honey, don’t worry about them. If they’re so capable, let them get through the traps first,” Qiu Ziyue said.
"Why do you call me husband? I'll mistake you for an eunuch in the palace. You should call me husband."
"In our modern society, wives call their husbands 'husband' and husbands call their wives 'wife'."
"Then call me that. I'll call you my wife, Qiu Ziyue."
"Yu Xuan, don't let them bother us, let's continue making love."
"Hmm, what is MAKE LOVE?"
"Oh dear, aren't you ashamed? It's about consummating the marriage."
Qi Yuxuan smiled and said, "Okay, wife."
The two were bathing in the Demon Spring, while the people from the five major gangs outside were not so lucky.
They had also placed spies in the Qi residence. They had heard from the spies that Qiu Ziyue had lost her martial arts skills, but they were still not sure.
They only realized their chance had come when they heard that Qiu Ziyue had gone to the Demon Spring Palace to heal her wounds.
The leaders of the five major gangs wanted to gather people from the five major sects to attack them again, but the people from the five major sects considered themselves righteous and refused to associate with them.
Night fell over the Bamboo Mountain Demon Spring Palace, and all around was quiet except for the rustling sound of the breeze through the bamboo forest.
However, on this seemingly peaceful night, a storm is quietly brewing.
The masters of the five major gangs—Feng Yunniang of the Fengyun Gang, Huo Lengxiong of the Huoshe Gang, Shui Jiangshan of the Shuilian Gang, Lei Xinzhen of the Leiguang Gang, and Tie Yiqing of the Tieshi Gang—arrived at the outer perimeter of the Demon Spring Palace with their respective disciples.
Their purposes for this trip differed, but they were all closely related to mystical arts.
When the forces of the five major gangs entered the vicinity of the Demon Spring Palace, they suddenly found themselves in a complex and confusing maze.
The once clear road became blurry, and every step felt like going around in circles.
The group tried to find a way out, but found themselves sinking deeper and deeper.
"What kind of place is this? I can't find my way out no matter which way I look!"
Huo Lengxiong roared, his flame-like hair standing out conspicuously in the night.
"Don't panic, let's calm down and search slowly."
Shui Jiangshan spoke calmly, his voice like flowing water, giving people a sense of composure.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they could never find the right direction.
The maze seemed to have its own will, deliberately leading them into a dead end.
As time went on, everyone's patience gradually wore thin.
After many twists and turns, the experts from the five major gangs were exhausted, but they still refused to give up.
Everyone has a strong desire to win and is unwilling to admit defeat.
Have you noticed that there seems to be some kind of pattern here?
Lei Xinzhen suddenly spoke, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings.
"What pattern?" Tie Yiqing asked, his burly body trembling slightly, clearly feeling some strain.
“Every time we reach a certain location, we encounter the same obstacle. Perhaps we can try marking these locations to see if we can find a breakthrough,” Lei Xinzhen explained.
Everyone nodded and began to act according to Lei Xinzhen's advice.
They made simple marks on the ground, trying to figure out the pattern of the maze.
However, despite the tremendous efforts, progress remains very slow.
Time passed slowly, the darkness gradually receded, and the first rays of dawn appeared.
The experts from the five major gangs were already panting heavily and exhausted, both physically and mentally.
They wandered around in this maze, as if trapped in an endless loop.
"This can't go on; we must find a new approach."
Feng Yunniang said softly, her voice tinged with a hint of helplessness.
“Yes, we can’t keep going down this blind path,” Shui Jiangshan agreed.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the sky began to lighten.
The morning sun shone on the maze, bringing a glimmer of new hope.
However, by this time they were already exhausted and had almost lost the strength to continue.
Nevertheless, the experts from the five major gangs did not give up easily. They knew that leaving the bewildering array would be tantamount to admitting defeat.
For the honor and dignity of their respective sects, they must persevere to the very end.
To be continued in the next chapter!
