367: Chapter 367 Palace Master Yun Shu

"So warm..."

The woman held Xiao Weiqing even tighter, as if wishing she could merge herself into his body.

Even Xiao Weiqing was startled.

Since he had awakened his Extraordinary Talent, there had been nothing his Samadhi True Fire couldn't handle.

"Get off!"

Suddenly.

The entire room was enveloped in a golden light.

Xiao Weiqing erupted with his last bit of energy to expand his Domain.

Within the Domain.

Xiao Weiqing's strength was enhanced in every aspect.

He pushed a palm against the woman's full chest, forcing her back.

Xiao Weiqing retreated repeatedly, falling back onto his buttocks on the floor, gasping for air.

Yet, unexpectedly.

In the next second.

A cold and voluptuous body pounced forward, throwing itself into his embrace.

Xiao Weiqing was shocked. Just as he was about to call for help, his mouth was blocked by two cold, soft lips.

"It's over!"

Xiao Weiqing thought to himself that things were bad; he felt the energy within his body draining away rapidly.

"Am I being drained through dual cultivation?"

Deep within his mind.

Above the Sea of Consciousness.

Within the lotus, the golden Divine Soul slightly opened its eyes, took a look, and then closed them again, as if nothing had happened.

The nine lotus petals emitted a faint glow and began to bloom slightly.

...

An unknown amount of time passed.

The woman slowly woke up.

"So comfortable..."

Every time her Divine Soul had acted up in the past, she had suffered miserably. Each time she woke up, she would have to lie down for hours, her entire body frozen like ice from head to toe, the cold piercing her marrow, making her feel more dead than alive.

It was nothing like today, where she felt incredibly relaxed.

The woman rubbed her eyes.

Suddenly, her movements stalled.

"Hmm?"

Looking at the unconscious man beneath her, the woman's eyes widened.

At that moment.

Noisy voices came from outside.

"An hour has passed, and we've searched everywhere possible. Did Xiao Weiqing go back already?"

"Impossible. Would Xiao Weiqing leave without telling me?" Lou Xiaoxing's tone was unfriendly. "You'd better explain yourselves, or I'll contact the embassy right now and say Xiao Weiqing has met with an accident."

"Damn it, I should have realized long ago that you were up to no good. It turns out this was all a conspiracy."

"Watch your mouth, Lou. Mind how you speak."

"Lou Xiaoxing, don't be so anxious," Yin Linna said. "With Xiao Weiqing's strength, nothing will happen to him. If you involve the embassy, it will become a diplomatic incident."

"Then send more people! Does this godforsaken place not even have surveillance?"

"And you two, didn't you say Xiao Weiqing came to the back?"

Ruan Yisen said, "I saw him walking toward this area."

"Then where is he?"

"Where else haven't we searched?"

"Who lives in this Villa? Let's go in and check," Lou Xiaoxing said, pointing at the luxurious Villa in front of them.

"Impudent!"

Yun Xi shouted angrily, "You cannot approach this place."

Yin Linna hurriedly said, "Lou Xiaoxing, the Palace Master is resting here. You cannot enter."

"Empress?"

Lou Xiaoxing was puzzled.

"Yes," Yin Linna nodded; this was what Yun Xi had told her earlier.

"Then go and ask," Lou Xiaoxing said to Yun Xi.

"No."

As one of the few people who knew about her cousin's physical condition, Yun Xi knew that no one should approach this Villa right now, or there might be a risk to their lives.

Lou Xiaoxing looked at the Villa before him, and his Mental Energy suddenly erupted, invading the building.

"What are you doing!"

Everyone was shocked and angry; they all felt Lou Xiaoxing's astonishing Mental Energy, which was more than a level higher than theirs.

Lou Xiaoxing ignored them, his brow furrowing as his Mental Energy was blocked at the balcony, unable to enter.

Just then.

A woman walked onto the balcony.

The moonlight spilled over her, making her look like a holy angel.

"Palace Master."

"Greetings, Palace Master."

The people from the Vermilion Bird Empire all bowed in greeting.

On the balcony, that nearly perfect woman was none other than the Empress of the Vermilion Bird Empire—Palace Master Yun Shu.

The woman nodded slightly, and her clear, slightly cold voice rang out.

"Xiao Weiqing is with me. I have business with him. You may all disperse."

Lou Xiaoxing frowned. After thinking for a few seconds, he asked:

"Really?"

"Then where is he?"

Palace Master Yun Shu looked down from above, merely giving Lou Xiaoxing a casual glance.

Lou Xiaoxing suddenly felt his whole body freeze. "What cold eyes, what terrifying strength."

"I'm here, Lou Xiaoxing. You go back first."

At that moment.

Xiao Weiqing walked out from behind Palace Master Yun Shu, though he didn't show his full body.

When Xiao Weiqing's voice appeared, everyone's face showed a different expression. Among the scions of the various families, some were envious, while others were displeased.

Yin Linna was somewhat confused, unable to understand what business the Palace Master could have with Xiao Weiqing.

Yun Xi was equally puzzled. Her confusion stemmed from the fact that, based on past experience, the Palace Master shouldn't have woken up so quickly. Now, not only was she awake, but she was also with Xiao Weiqing.

What had happened between the two of them?

Lou Xiaoxing's expression went from confusion to astonishment, and then to one of complete admiration.

His strength far exceeded the others. Even though Xiao Weiqing deliberately didn't fully reveal himself, Lou Xiaoxing still saw his face clearly.

His face was pale, and his steps were unsteady when he came out. This was clearly a sign of overindulgence.

Under normal circumstances, if Xiao Weiqing wanted to hide it, no one would be able to tell. However, at this moment, Xiao Weiqing's Mental Energy was severely depleted, and less than ten percent of his internal energy remained; his strength was greatly diminished.

He could hide it from others, but he couldn't hide it from Lou Xiaoxing, who had also cultivated a Divine Soul.

"Understood. Message received."

A look of realization dawned on Lou Xiaoxing's face as if he knew everything, and he turned to leave.

"Palace Master, we take our leave."

Although the others were confused, they couldn't say anything and could only leave first.

After everyone had left.

Yun Xi asked, "Cousin, are you... alright?"

"I'm fine."

"Oh, then..."

Actually, Yun Xi also wanted to ask if anything had happened between the two of them.

"You go back first. I still have things to discuss with Xiao Weiqing."

"Alright, then I'll be going."

After Yun Xi left.

Palace Master Yun Shu returned to the living room.

Xiao Weiqing breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps back, and collapsed onto the floor. Seeing Lou Xiaoxing's expression, it was clear he had misunderstood something, but he couldn't worry about that now.

"Xiao Weiqing, right?"

"Greetings, Palace Master."

"Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"

Xiao Weiqing: "?"

Compensate?

You sucked me dry, and you want me to compensate you?

Xiao Weiqing laughed out of anger; this woman was truly turning the tables on him.

Palace Master Yun Shu stepped onto the floor with bare feet, looking down at Xiao Weiqing.

"Don't think I don't know. Earlier, while I was off guard, you hugged and held me, and you even kissed me."

"Those should be my lines!!"

Xiao Weiqing said through gritted teeth, "If anyone should take responsibility, it's you who should be responsible for me."

"Fine, name your price."

"What?"

Palace Master Yun Shu said coldly, "I'll take responsibility for you. I want your body. Name your price."

Xiao Weiqing said nothing, standing up to leave.

As expected.

This perfect face was not something a human should possess. This woman was definitely a fox spirit in human skin, actually lusting after his body.
