Jiuxuan Meihu adorned himself with a faint smile, his slender eyes gleaming with a watery sheen. His entire being seemed enveloped in a subtle charm, melting away the coldness between his brows. A tilted head and a naturally lazy expression adorned his face, giving him an air of nonchalance. His red lips were slightly parted, and a pink tongue playfully flicked across his white teeth, tempting one to rush forward and ravish him.

“Do you… not find me tempting?” Jiuxuan Meihu spoke slowly, “But I truly desire to devour you.”

Mrs. Ji Xiao, upon hearing these words, recoiled as if facing a formidable foe. It took her five or six steps backward before regaining her composure. Stern yet soft, she retorted, “I was instructed to clean and wash you; don’t take advantage of others too much!”

Jiuxuan Meihu laughed heartily. “Hahaha, whatever, I don’t want to bring bad luck upon yourself.” Fixing his gaze on Mrs. Ji Xiao, he softly added, “Come quickly and undress me…”

Mrs. Ji Xiao closed her eyes, suppressing the emotions within, and approached as usual.

Watching from the sidelines, Xu Ziqing was dumbfounded, especially when Jiuxuan Meihu and Mrs. Ji Xiao exchanged smiles. It sent shivers down his spine. Clasping hands with his senior brother, he thought he possessed considerable resistance, yet from an outsider’s perspective, Jiuxuan Meihu’s allure was truly formidable.

Xu Ziqing, having this realization, cast a surprised look at Yun Lie.

Yun Lie sent a voice transmission, “This beast’s core has been suppressed; otherwise, its prowess would be even greater.”

Taking a deep breath, Xu Ziqing suppressed the turmoil within his chest. Indeed, as his senior brother suggested, this individual had the potential to sow chaos and cultivate disaster in the world. Presumably, the methods employed extended beyond merely shaking people’s hearts.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Ji Xiao approached the lock next to the stone frame. With a “Kaka” sound, the tightly bound chains gradually loosened.

Jiuxuan Meihu, seemingly accustomed to the process, raised his arms slightly, rubbed his waist leisurely, and slowly removed the chain. Taking a step with his long legs, he descended from the stone shelf. Despite the chains stretching with his movements, they still bound his wrists and ankles, permitting only a limited range of movement.

Every breath and movement he made were captivating. His long hair cascaded straight down to the bend of his legs, resembling a black waterfall or flowing silk. Whether it was the waterfall descending from the sky, showering jade fragments, or the brilliant and slippery silk and satin, none rivaled the allure of his black tresses.

Jiuxuan Meihu headed towards the right side, where a ring door adorned with luxurious animal skins awaited. The left and right sides, however, featured green rocks, offering a clean and peculiar beauty.

At the end of the animal skins lay a pool, brimming with a potent aura that took the form of a dragon or a fox in the sky. Ethereal, it seemed on the brink of solidification yet ready to disperse at the slightest touch. contemporary romance

Xu Ziqing was further surprised. Having encountered numerous spirit veins and spirit stones, he never imagined this relatively small pool was crafted from spirit stones. A quick calculation revealed that this pool depleted most of the immense spirit stones from a third-order spirit vein. Surprisingly, it wasn’t designated for cultivation but rather for bathing—a lavish extravagance.

With a smile gracing his lips, Jiuxuan Meihu stepped into the pool.

As half of his body was submerged in the water, the black robe remained untouched, floating on the surface. His exceptionally fair skin took on a rosy hue as steam evaporated, enhancing his unparalleled appearance.

Mrs. Ji Xiao, maintaining a focused expression, held a spoon in hand and half-knelt by the pool. She scooped water to wash his body and used a square towel to scrub him thoroughly.

Jiuxuan Meihu lifted his face and smiled, “Aren’t you coming down?”

Mrs. Ji Rong hesitated but, without unfastening her clothes, entered the water, facing him. She diligently wiped his body and shampooed his hair. Despite her conscientiousness, her face retained a rosy glow, and a hint of enthusiasm and slight panting accompanied each exhale.

The scene was undoubtedly charming, yet the charm lay solely in the mist. The woman in the water, tainted by lust, dared not be careless.

Leaning lazily by the pool, Jiuxuan Meihu raised a finger and caressed Mrs. Ji Rong’s cheek, trailing down from her neck, then gently massaged her neck and collarbone. Mrs. Ji Rong trembled slightly, and her movements became quicker. She wished to finish these tasks promptly and depart, avoiding any further entanglement.

The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly heated, a hushed and ambiguous sensation lingering, akin to a subtle, dark fragrance permeating into the very bones, rendering them crisp.

Witnessing the scene unfold, Xu Ziqing was alarmed and instinctively took a step back, mentally repeating:

Don’t succumb to temptation, don’t succumb…

He attempted to close his eyes hastily. Yet, for reasons unknown, he found himself raising his head again, this time locking eyes with his senior brother. The effect was akin to a splash of cold water, sending shivers down his spine.

As a senior brother, Yun Lie’s gaze was icy, exuding a potent aura of menace, almost overflowing with murderous intent.

Startled, Xu Ziqing swiftly dispelled his wandering thoughts and intensified the concealment of their auras by releasing more true energy. Leaking their presence at this moment could prove disastrous. Simultaneously, he gripped his senior brother’s hand urgently.

In response, Yun Lie’s murderous intent immediately subsided.

Exhaling a sigh of relief, Xu Ziqing shot a reassuring smile at his senior brother.

Yun Lie, with lowered eyes, conveyed through a voice transmission, “I nearly made a mistake.”

Momentarily puzzled, Xu Ziqing soon grasped the situation.

Yun Lie’s ruthless killing technique, founded on the suppression of emotions, heightened sensitivity to techniques that stirred people’s desires and emotions. While he wouldn’t succumb to such techniques, combating them required a more dominant and forceful approach.

Feeling a sense of accomplishment for assisting his senior brother, Xu Ziqing was simultaneously embarrassed. Had it not been for his own feelings, he might have succumbed to Jiuxuan Meihu’s power. After all, he had fallen for his senior brother first, only regaining sanity afterward, and it was then that he noticed Yun Lie’s abnormality.

Following this incident, Mrs. Ji Xiao hastily assisted Jiuxuan Meihu in bathing. By now, she appeared intoxicated, with just a hint of sobriety lingering in her eyes. Swiftly adjusting her attire, she chose a path to leave in haste. Subsequently, the fading footsteps and the closing of the door returned the room to silence.

The steam persisted in the room as the Fox King in the pool slowly stood up, stepping onto the bluestone slab with bare feet. The color was clear, resembling flawless jade, while his black hair and attire clung tightly to his body, exuding a sensuality more enticing than being naked.

Later, Jiuxuan Meihu lifted his gaze, fixing it in the direction where the two senior brothers were concealed. He grinned, stretching his body with a hint of hoarseness in his voice, provocatively asking, “I don’t know where the visitor is… After watching for so long, have you seen enough?” Xu Ziqing pondered but remained still.

Yun Lie, being more experienced, was not stirred by this mere sentence.

However, Jiuxuan Meihu’s words heightened their wariness, especially since his gaze was directed precisely where they were hiding.

Jiuxuan Meihu, seemingly unfazed, took a couple of steps forward and explained, “My inner core has been restricted, leaving me powerless to escape alone, and Panshan won’t provide any chance for escape by detaining me here.”

He moved towards the bed, sat down, and continued, “Therefore, I’ve set up a restriction here… No matter who it is, their spiritual consciousness can’t infiltrate.”

This demon fox was undeniably alluring. Beast King Panshan knew well the fox’s abilities; even if someone scrutinized him with divine sense, they could still be captivated by his allure. Furthermore, this demon fox belonged to a spiritual species born from the heavens and earth, inherently skilled in manipulating others’ emotions and desires. Consequently, regardless of the prowess of Xu Ziqing’s “Escape Wood Containing Breathing Art,” the fox sensed the subtle change in his mood earlier.

Despite lingering doubts, Xu Ziqing felt a bit shaken.

Subsequently, Yun Lie extended his consciousness outward, confirming that it dissipated upon touching the outer area, unable to spread. The outer circle was evidently restricted, blocking external divine consciousness.

Following this, Yun Lie instructed, “Ziqing, lift the spell,” without utilizing mental transmission this time.

Hearing Yun Lie’s voice, Jiuxuan Meihu raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Xu Ziqing followed the instruction, quickly dispelling the spell.

The figures of the two were immediately exposed.

Jiuxuan Meihu’s eyes briefly scanned the intertwined hands.

Nonetheless, Xu Ziqing didn’t release his grip, remaining vigilant for any potential changes.

Jiuxuan Meihu’s gaze then shifted to Xu Ziqing’s shoulder, and his smile deepened. “So, my child brought you here… She is my flesh and blood… It makes sense that you found me.”

Surprised, Xu Ziqing pondered if Hu Xue’er was truly his child. Contemplating this, he retracted the Qingyun Needle on Hu Xueer’s body. Unexpectedly, a moment later, a scream erupted from his shoulder, and a white figure dashed toward Jiuxuan Meihu!

In the span of half a year, Hu Xueer and other celestial beings had developed sharp claws, but as a spirit beast, Xu Ziqing refrained from letting it taste blood too soon. Yet, at this moment, it exhibited its claws, eyes tinged with a hint of crimson!

Perplexed, Xu Ziqing glanced at his senior brother. Seeing Yun Lie shake his head, it was apparent that he, too, was unaware of the situation.

Prepared to confront any attacks from Jiuxuan Meihu, Xu Ziqing watched as the young fox’s attempt failed. Jiuxuan Meihu raised his hand, delivering a resounding slap that sent Hu Xue’er flying backward with a clang from the wrist chain.
