Empress, please lay down your armor, for I will save the world with a single sword!

The Prince of Beiyong's mansion was much quieter at night than during the day, but quiet did not mean safe.

Patrolling soldiers came in squads after squad, and the presence of many experts could be faintly seen in the shadows.

Wu Liang used the "Soaring Dragon Steps" technique, his whole body like a light, floating shadow, shuttling between the eaves, tree shadows, and corners of the walls.

Logically, he should have gone straight to Qiyun Temple.

After all, that little vixen Jiang Qingluan had been waiting for him all night.

If we don't go tonight, it's probably going to explode.

But as he walked, Wu Liang suddenly stopped.

Not far ahead is Yunshui Pavilion.

The attic was shrouded in night, and a few red lights could be vaguely seen.

A night breeze blows, the red lamp flickers, and its shadow falls on the wall like a light layer of rouge.

Wu Liang glanced at it, and the scene he had seen that night suddenly flashed through his mind.

A woman in a red dress.

Alluring charm.

A fake phoenix and a false dragon.

That scene, wow...

It's simply unbearable to recall.

It is also unforgettable.

Wu Liang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

"That woman who's like a bed..."

No.

The important matter is the priority.

Jiang Qingluan is still waiting.

He took two steps.

It stopped again.

"Take a look."

Wu Liang muttered to himself.

"Just one look."

"I'm investigating what's happening inside the Prince's residence, not because I'm lustful."

"Yes, it's perfectly reasonable to understand the surrounding environment before rescuing Jiang Qingluan!"

After convincing himself, Wu Liang immediately felt at ease.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes, silently vaulted over a low wall, and circled around to the side of Yunshui Pavilion.

It was very quiet inside Yunshui Pavilion.

There was no sound of the maids speaking.

It lacked the usual liveliness of a women's quarters.

Only when the wind blows the red lantern does its shadow sway gently.

Wu Liang leaned out the window, about to peek inside.

Suddenly, a snow-white shadow shot down from the beam!

fast!

too fast!

Wu Liang was startled and instinctively wanted to back away.

But the thing was faster than he expected, like a streak of white lightning, instantly striking his wrist.

"hiss!"

My wrist hurts.

Wu Liang looked down and saw that a snow-white sable had bitten him before darting back to the window frame.

The little thing had dark eyes and was tilting its head to look at him.

They're quite cute.

But Wu Liang is not cute at all.

The next moment, a tingling sensation shot up from my wrist.

It felt as if ice water had been poured into his meridians, causing his internal energy to suddenly stagnate.

"Holy crap."

"What the hell is that?"

Wu Liang quickly activated the Longevity Technique to try and suppress the poison.

As soon as the exercise was started, the numbness spread even faster.

My limbs started to feel weak.

Just then, a lazy, smiling female voice came from inside the house.

"Breaking into a woman's boudoir at night, and then blaming my Snow Servant for biting someone?"

"That's a really interesting point you're making."

Wu Liang looked up.

A woman slowly walked out from behind the red veil.

She was wearing a red dress.

She had a slender waist, snow-white skin, and strikingly beautiful eyes and brows.

Her long, black hair was half-tied up and half-loose, lazily draped over her shoulders, making her look like a flame burning in the night.

Wu Liang recognized him at a glance.

It's her!

That woman in the red dress that night!

Tonight we're closer and can see more clearly.

This woman was even more alluring than he remembered.

That kind of charm wasn't the naivety of a young girl, nor the bright pride of Shangguan Na, nor the aloof nobility of Jiang Qingluan.

She is like a jar of strong liquor.

Before even taking a sip, the aroma is already irresistible.

It really makes you think of a bed the moment you see it~~~

Pei Changge was also looking at Wu Liang.

She had only heard Xue Nu's warning and thought they had caught some clueless thief.

But when she saw Wu Liang's face, she was slightly taken aback.

young.

Handsome.

His features were clear and bright, yet he also had a somewhat unconventional and carefree air about him.

Even though he was poisoned and his face was pale, he still couldn't hide his handsome and dashing demeanor.

When did such a handsome little thief arrive at the Prince's mansion?

Pei Changge's interest immediately intensified.

She has met many men.

The generals of Bei Yong, the sons of civil officials, the heroes of the martial arts world, and those from the Zuo family who, despite their human skin, disgusted her to the point of wanting to laugh.

But this young man in front of me is different.

He was disheveled, but not sleazy.

Especially her face, it's just so beautiful.

It was so good that she felt at first glance that it would be a waste to simply have someone drag her away and chop her up.

Wu Liang forced himself to steady himself, his smile somewhat strained.

"Girl, it's a misunderstanding."

"I was just passing by."

Pei Changge chuckled softly.

"Passing by my window?"

"You've certainly taken a very straightforward path."

Wu Liang wanted to back out.

However, the poison had already spread from his arm to his chest.

His movements were noticeably slower.

Pei Changge clapped his hands lightly.

The ferret, Xue Nu, immediately jumped onto her shoulder, behaving incredibly obediently.

She reached out and patted Xue Nu's head, smiling as she said, "Don't struggle."

"Xue Nu's poison is very potent."

"First, it paralyzes the meridians and slows down the internal energy. Then it slowly invades the internal organs, limbs and bones. Even a great immortal cannot save it. It can only die from festering sores all over its body."

"The more you circulate your internal energy, the faster the poison travels, and the faster you'll die. Hehehe~"

Wu Liang cursed inwardly.

A crazy woman, even her pets are crazy.

He still smiled on the surface.

"Girl, I don't look like a bad person."

"Why don't you let me go?"

Pei Changge took a few steps closer, her eyes scanning his face.

"He certainly doesn't look like a bad person."

She paused, then her smile became even brighter.

"Like a flower thief."

Wu Liang: "..."

This woman has a sharp eye.

Just as he was about to speak, Pei Changge suddenly made a move.

A red rope flew out from her sleeve and wrapped around Wu Liang's wrist like a serpent.

Wu Liang tried to dodge, but his legs gave way, and he was a beat too slow.

Soon, his hands were bound.

Pei Changge dragged him into the house.

Inside the room, red candles flickered, and a faint fragrance wafted through the air.

Wu Liang was forced to sit on a soft couch, his hands were bound, and his outer robe was torn open slightly.

He glanced down at his disheveled appearance, his face darkening.

It was truly a case of capsizing in a ditch.

Pei Changge picked up a horsewhip carved from jade from the table.

The whip was entirely emerald green, with gold thread inlaid at the end of the handle. It didn't look like a weapon, but rather like an exquisite toy.

She used a jade whip to lift Wu Liang's chin.

"Speak."

"Who sent you?"

Wu Liang gritted his teeth and laughed, "No one's sending anyone."

"I was just passing by."

Snapped! !

The whip suddenly fell.

It struck Wu Liang's shoulder.

It wasn't particularly severe, but it burned like fire.

Wu Liang's eyes twitched.

"Crazy woman!"

Pei Changge's smile became even more radiant.

"crazy?"

"In this palace, anyone who isn't insane has long been devoured."

She leaned down to look at Wu Liang, her red lips curving slightly.

"Young master, you're so handsome, and you're so brave."

"What do you want by breaking into Yunshui Pavilion at night?"

While cursing under his breath, Wu Liang secretly activated the Longevity Technique.

Although the internal energy of the Longevity Technique was slowed down by the poison, it was not completely eliminated.

He dared not force his way in and could only protect his heart meridian first.

At the same time, the principles of toxicology in the "Qing Nang Jing" are used to determine the direction of toxicity.

The Hand Taiyin.

Hand Jueyin.

The poison travels quickly, but it hasn't yet entered the internal organs.

It can force.

You can force them.

Wu Liang outwardly showed signs of pain and panic.

"Girl, let's talk this out."

Pei Changge smiled and said, "Now you know fear?"

"I'm scared."

Wu Liang lowered his head, as if he had truly given in.

But his fingers, hidden in his sleeve, were secretly exerting force.

The fingernail pierced the fingertip.

The Longevity Technique's internal energy gradually drew the toxins towards the fingertips.

A drop of dark, poisonous blood silently seeped from the fingertip.

Pei Changge was unaware.

She simply found the young thief quite amusing.

good looking.

Stubborn.

She'll play the victim again.

She's much more interesting than those men who just drool and pretend to be sophisticated when they see her.

She gently patted Wu Liang's face with her jade whip.

"Don't rush."

"It'll be a long night."

"Let's take our time and have some fun~~"

Wu Liang lowered his eyes, but sneered inwardly.

It has a long life?

We'll have to see who thinks it's too long in the end.
