"Turn your back... What do you mean?"

Celestial Water Palace Master Gu Ziqing groaned, enduring the excruciating pain, and asked.

Zhang Kui lowered his head, trying not to look at that alluring figure, and said earnestly:

"I can block the Yin Fire, but only where our skins touch, which might be considered disrespectful."

Gu Ziqing furrowed her brows slightly and snorted coldly:

"We cultivators defy the celestial order and reverse reincarnation. Looking at you as a bold man, at the brink of life and death, why bother with so many formalities?"

"My Qi mechanism is chaotic, hurry, act on your own!"

What kind of audacious words are these?

Forget it, as long as you don't mind...

Zhang Kui hesitated no longer, took a big step forward, and tapped twice in his mind.

Sitting Fire Skill (Level 1): Active Skill

Skill Description: Fire Seed Golden Lotus, enter fire without being burned, escape from Tribulation Fire with the Fire Escape Skill, can avoid Mortal Fire.

Sitting Fire Skill (Level 2): Active Skill

Skill Description: Fire Seed Golden Lotus, enter fire without being burned, escape from Tribulation Fire with the Fire Escape Skill, can avoid Mortal Fire and Qi Yin Fire.

At this moment, Gu Ziqing was completely enveloped in blue Yin Fire, and the heat in the air around was already astonishing, crackling.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would have been burnt all over long ago, but when Zhang Kui executed the Sitting Fire Skill, a faint light film immediately appeared on his body, even his clothes remained intact.

Seeing this, Gu Ziqing's heart settled, she first gave Zhang Kui an approving glance, then slowly closed her eyes.

Zhang Kui took a deep breath, sat cross-legged behind Gu Ziqing, and gently placed his big hand on her smooth back and jade-like shoulders.

Since coming to this world, he had spent most of his time slaying demons and exterminating evil, constantly on the edge of life and death. It was his first time touching a woman, and he couldn't help but feel his heartbeat accelerate somewhat.

Strangely enough.

The moment his palm touched, the Yin Fire dissipated immediately.

In front, Gu Ziqing felt a thrill in her heart, as if grabbing a rope when falling off a cliff, she immediately concentrated on gathering her internal Spiritual Qi.

"Still not enough, continue."

Zhang Kui's eye twitched, as the Yin Fire instantly turned his sleeves into ashes, he embraced Gu Ziqing from behind.

"Not enough, continue..."

The upper garment was burnt away.

Gu Ziqing also sensed something was wrong, but still gritted her teeth, "Continue..."

Then, her face stiffened.

Zhang Kui felt awkward.

Both of them said no more words.

The Yin Fire on Gu Ziqing's body slowly faded away inch by inch, but the atmosphere also gradually became ambiguous.

Zhang Kui wasn't lustful, but he wasn't a virgin either, thus some things naturally happened...

After a while, Zhang Kui lay flat, let out a breath, and inexplicably wanted a cigarette to smoke.

Beside him, Gu Ziqing got up, with a wave of her hand an elegant plain robe covered her, her jade hand gathered her dark green hair, instantly exuding the imposing aura of a Celestial Tribulation Realm great cultivator and the master of a palace, majestic and inviolable.

"Who exactly are you?"

Gu Ziqing asked expressionlessly, her red lips slightly parted.

Oops...

Zhang Kui's scalp tingled,

would this woman turn her back after getting dressed?

Zhang Kui silently stood up, his muscles tensed, while recounting the events that transpired since his arrival and preparing to use the Clone Skill to escape at any moment.

Yes, immediately followed by a Water Escape...

Unexpectedly, Gu Ziqing just furrowed her brows, turned her head towards that big hole, and her figure vanished instantly.

Zhang Kui, without clothes, had no choice but to chase after her naked.

In front of the giant stone coffin, Gu Ziqing stared at Lian Chengzi's decaying corpse, her eyes complex, and sighed.

"I sensed it before, thought it was just an insignificant Yin Spirit, but unexpectedly there was a thousand-year plot behind it, Lian Chengzi turned out to be a passionate person."

"Immortal Path... Longevity, could it truly be like a mirror flower, water moon...?"

Zhang Kui remained silent, not knowing what to say.

Gu Ziqing turned around and said indifferently:

"Rest assured, you first saved Qiushui, then helped me with the tribulation, this palace is not an ungrateful villain, but this matter must not be mentioned to anyone, you and I have never met."

Zhang Kui breathed a sigh of relief,

"Agreed, agreed, old friends in the Jianghu meet and need not have known each other, Zhang will take his leave now."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the pool.

"Wait..."

Gu Ziqing suddenly called out from behind.

Zhang Kui stiffened, could it be this woman regretted it?

Gu Ziqing's eyes showed a complicated expression,

"If next time the Fire Tribulation... I might need to seek you again..."

Zhang Kui breathed a sigh of relief,

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

After saying that, with a splash, he leapt into the water and disappeared.

Out of the water cave, he swam swiftly in the lake, only then did Zhang Kui fully wake up, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt, pondering over what nonsensical things he said just now.

What welcome, welcome,

welcome to come for nothing...

...

The night was hazy, the lake full of starry light.

Zhang Kui, lost in thought, shot up from the lake and leapt back into his room through the window.

Suddenly there was wind on the roof, Zhu Sheng's anxious voice sounded, "Is it Brother Zhang?"

Zhang Kui was startled, quickly pulled the sheet to wrap himself, "Oh, it's me."

As he spoke, Zhu Sheng had already entered, accompanied by Ling Qiushui, who lowered her head, her face turning red.

Zhu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief,

"I was patrolling in the middle of the night and found Brother Zhang was not there, so I quickly called Taoist Friend Qiu to search together, Brother Zhang, where did you go?"

"Oh..."

Zhang Kui's expression remained unchanged, "I discovered traces of a demon, already disposed of it, just fought with the demon and damaged my clothes, please help me find a set."

"Brother Zhang's Taoist Skill is truly profound."

Zhu Sheng exclaimed, then smiled and shook his head, "Brother Zhang's build is tall and sturdy, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until tomorrow to have someone in Qu City custom make it."

Beside him, Ling Qiushui said, lowering her head:

"No need to trouble, I'll make a set for Brother Zhang."

Zhang Kui laughed heartily,

"Then I'll trouble you, I couldn't have imagined that Taoist Friend Qiu not only has excellent swordsmanship and Taoist skill but can also do feminine crafts, truly impressive."

Ling Qiushui blushed and said nothing.

After the two left, Zhang Kui breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed, feeling that tonight was bewildering, like a dream...

...

The next day, in the Celestial Water Palace's main hall.

Gu Ziqing was elegantly seated on the Tai Chi Throne in a palace gown, her skin like cream, dignified and noble, exuding a majestic aura.

"The Celestial Water Palace was in peril, thanks to you two lending a hand. Last year, when I was collecting herbs at Mist Mountain, I refined several 'Sunflower Water Heart Cleansing Pills', and I gift them to you as a token of gratitude."

Zhang Kui and Zhu Sheng both cupped their fists solemnly,

"Thank you, Palace Master Gu, for the pills."

"Zhu Sheng, with the passing of Senior Songfengzi, although you have the ambition to temper your Sword Heart, you must also act cautiously, do not let the sect fall into decay."

"Yes, Senior Gu."

"Zhang... Taoist Friend Zhang, in demon slaying and devil elimination, you must also act within your means. The demons in the southwest have become rampant, should you encounter a crisis, you can come to me for help."

Zhang Kui's expression remained unchanged, "Thank you, Taoist Friend Gu."

Everyone in the hall listened to the address and thought Gu Ziqing was speaking casually, not noticing that she had addressed from senior to Taoist friend.

After bidding farewell to everyone, the two immediately left the hall and went down the mountain, Ling Qiushui frequently turning her head to look at Zhang Kui's figure.

Elder Qin frowned, "Qiushui, what are you looking at?"

A female disciple giggled and said:

"Last night Senior Sister Qiu sewed clothes all night and didn't even practice sword in the morning, perhaps... she's caught in a love tribulation."

"Nonsense!"

Ling Qiushui blushed and reprimanded.

In the main hall, Gu Ziqing's expression stiffened.

Down the mountain,

A white and a black shadow shot over the forest sea, treading on wind and leaves like flying birds.

"Brother Zhang, why are you running so fast?"

"Demon slaying and devil elimination, anxious like a raging fire."

"Haha, well, no rush at the moment, but I found that Taoist Friend Qiu seems to have some feelings for Brother Zhang."

"......"

"Brother Zhang, why aren't you speaking?"

"Sigh, don't ask, asking is fate..."
