Fairy, please don't do this!

An Wanxi, however, did not let him off the hook, her smile growing wider: "Besides, your emotions clearly fluctuated when you mentioned your junior sister just now."

"It seems that your relationship with this junior sister is not as simple as it appears..."

Chapter 28, Illustration of Jade Feet

Gu Jinchao looked at the stunningly beautiful ghost wife before him and asked, "If my relationship with my junior sister is really as you think, what would you do?"

An Wanxi turned to her side, resting her cheek on his shoulder, and said meaningfully, "What do you think I would do, my little husband?"

Gu Jinzhao tentatively asked, "Did you kill this philandering man?"

An Wanxi asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by 'knife'?"

"It means to kill."

Why did you kill your husband?

"I'm two-timing."

Will that affect our relationship?

"It seems not."

"So what?"

Gu Jinzhao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Fortunately, the ghost wife is not like Mu Yiren and Lin Qingci; she won't hand him a wood-chopping knife just because he's fickle.

But the next second, An Wanxi narrowed her captivating peach blossom eyes, her tone growing colder: "However, you may be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape punishment."

Gu Jinzhao's heart, which had just settled, jumped again: "Then what should we do?"

An Wanxi's gaze slid down his chest, finally landing three inches below his lower abdomen: "Castrate him."

Gu Jinzhao felt a chill run through his body and subconsciously moved back a little.

"Giggle..."

Seeing his reaction, An Wanxi burst into laughter, her voluptuous body trembling slightly, her high breasts heaving, revealing a hint of her snowy cleavage.

Gu Jinzhao looked away and coughed lightly: "Stop fooling around."

For some reason, he felt that An Wanxi had gradually become more flesh and blood since she came out of the ancient coffin, and was no longer as lifeless as before.

That's a good thing!

After all, from the moment they formed the bond of love, they were already "husband and wife" in name only.

If your partner always has a cold face and can't utter a single word for a long time, it's better to get a divorce as soon as possible.

An Wanxi seemed to guess his thoughts and smiled gently, saying, "My little husband, are you wondering why I have changed like this?"

Gu Jinzhao nodded: "Indeed."

An Wanxi raised her delicate hand and gently stroked his cheek, tenderly caressing it: "Because I... found a husband who will never betray me."

Gu Jinzhao knew that these words came from the heart.

Through the love spell, he could clearly feel the "sincerity" and "joy" in her heart.

An Wanxi's wish to never be betrayed again seems to have come true.

For some reason, Gu Jinzhao felt somewhat complicated.

His initial goal was simply to make a deal with her.

The two only need to use the "Heart-to-Heart Mantra" as a bridge because they don't trust each other.

Gu Jinzhao sighed inwardly and stopped talking about it: "If possible, could you make it smaller? Otherwise, it always feels a bit difficult to talk."

I've been gazing up at this enormous, eighteen-foot-tall carriage for so long that my neck is getting stiff.

His height was already above average for a man, but it was only level with the top of her plump, jade-like legs.

The reason why An Wanxi is so tall is because the Gu clan is a branch of the ancient Wu clan.

"I'll give it a try!"

An Wanxi pondered for a moment, then turned her mature and voluptuous body slightly, gradually shrinking until she was about eight feet tall.

How are you feeling now?

She puffed out her ample bosom, almost touching his cheek.

Gu Jinzhao's gaze was fixed on her chest: "Not bad!"

Although she was still considerably taller than him, if she were to shrink further, it would not match her charming and elegant demeanor.

Most importantly, she has now truly become the fantasy version of "Eight-Foot Lady"!

Gu Jinzhao seemed to have thought of something and casually asked, "Did you finish reading the book 'Chronicles of the Nine Provinces' last night?"

An Wanxi nodded: "I've read everything on the bookshelf."

As she spoke, she took out two yellow-bound books from behind her: "I also read the one you hid on the roof beam."

Gu Jinchao's gaze fell on the book cover, and he was taken aback.

"Illustrations of Jade Feet, Part 1!"

A few days ago, Baicaotang had too many patients and Aunt Ruo was too busy to handle them all, so she asked him to go to the house of Scholar Xu across the street to see patients.

Although Gu Jinzhao is not a doctor, he has been working at Baicaotang for many years and can treat minor illnesses with ease.

Unfortunately, Xu Xiucai had been frequenting brothels lately and didn't have enough money for his consultations, so he offered this newly purchased book, "Illustrations of Jade Feet," as payment, saying it was a rare find that had recently sold out.

Gu Jinzhao initially wanted to refuse the book, after all, he was a respectable person, why would he want such an improper book?

However, considering that Xu Xiucai was also a neighbor, they ultimately accepted it.

Back at Baicaotang, I glanced at the so-called "sold out" illustrations and found them to be exquisitely drawn and lifelike, so I casually put them away.

Unexpectedly, this book tarnished his reputation.

If I had known this would happen, I should have just thrown it away in the first place.

Gu Jinzhao explained rather awkwardly, "If I said that these two books were paid for by someone else, would you believe me?"

An Wanxi crossed her arms and looked at him with a half-smile, but said nothing.

Gu Jinchao felt that he was in a situation he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

This is all Xu Xiucai's fault, no wonder that fellow has kidney deficiency!

Gu Jinzhao silently took the two illustrated books. He wanted to throw them away, but he was afraid that someone would see him, so he hid them back under the roof beam and then began to practice the True Yang Sword Technique.

This sword technique is best practiced when the sun is rising and the yang energy of heaven and earth is just beginning to emerge.

Therefore, he had a habit of practicing sword techniques every morning.

Throughout the entire process, An Wanxi gazed at him quietly, her eyes sparkling with intoxicating light, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Until Gu Jinzhao opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

She then said softly, "Have you been feeling a burning, throbbing pain in your Guanyuan, Zhongji, and Qihai acupoints lately, especially in the early morning?"

Gu Jinchao was taken aback: "How did you know?"

"Although I do not practice swordsmanship, my cultivation level is far superior to yours, so I can naturally see more."

An Wanxi sat up, the blankets slipped off her body, revealing her alluring and voluptuous figure.

A full bust, a slender waist, and rounded hips—their curves create a captivating allure for a mature woman.

The bedding slid down to her waist, her skirt still half-hidden, revealing a section of her snow-white calves, her delicate, flawless toes lightly touching the bed, as languid as a cat.

Perhaps because her legs were too long, her jade-like feet just happened to touch Gu Jinzhao's thighs, rubbing against them almost imperceptibly.

Her heels were pink and smooth, her toes were slender and long, and her toenails were like seashells with a light pink luster, like carefully carved works of art, making people want to hold them in their hands and play with them.

"Then how can this be resolved?"

Gu Jinzhao couldn't help but glance at it.

Although he is a pro player who has completed the Pure Love mode five times, he is still a novice when it comes to cultivating martial arts techniques.

After all, in the game, there's a point allocation system, so there's no need to overthink it; just allocate points directly. There's no need for so many complicated procedures.

An Wanxi noticed his gaze and smiled slightly: "It is necessary to blend some yang energy to balance the yin and yang in the body, so that it can last for a long time."

"As for the method... I presume it is recorded in your sword technique."

Gu Jinzhao immediately closed his eyes and searched for the answer in the "True Yang Sword Manual".

[A single yang cannot grow, nor can a single yin produce life; only when yin and yang complement each other can water and fire be in harmony...]

This passage is quite complex, but it can be summarized in just four words: "Seeking a Daoist companion."

The other party uses the methods described in the sword manual to draw upon their own yin energy, and then through intimate acts between men and women, they combine it with the abundant yang energy within their bodies.

Of course, besides physical intimacy, there are other ways to make people linger.

Gu Jinzhao pulled his mind away from the sword manual and suddenly realized, "No wonder most of the disciples in the True Yang Sword Palace are in pairs. It turns out it's a requirement for cultivation."

Speaking of which, he now not only has a fiancée, but also a ghost bride.

Since the former is not around, they naturally cannot help.

As for the latter, if he were to ask, he would likely agree.

But Gu Jinchao was someone who cared about his reputation; how could he possibly say such a thing out loud...

Chapter 29, Lin Qingci's Attack

Gu Jinzhao ultimately chose to ignore the matter of excessive Yang energy for the time being.

After all, the burning and swollen sensation at those three acupoints only occurred occasionally.

After washing up and changing, Gu Jinchao saw that An Wanxi had changed into a dark purple long dress, flowing like the starry night sky.

Her black hair was tied up and secured with a hairpin, with a few stray strands falling down her neck, making her jawline appear even more delicate and her neck as long and swan-like.

Her dignified yet alluring charm made it impossible not to take a second look.

Gu Jinchao asked curiously, "Is this the ability of 'ugliness'?"

【Ugliness】is one of the six elements. It is obtained by refining 【Illusion Gu】 with the blood and soul of the demon race. It has the ability to control illusions.

Clearly, she was using this method to alter the appearance of her clothes.

An Wanxi smiled faintly: "'Ugliness' can not only control illusions, but also prevent itself from falling into illusions."

"This is the benefit brought by the demon race's blood and soul."

Gu Jinzhao had cultivated the "Six Elements True Demon Technique" in the game, so he naturally knew that after the Six Gu were transformed into the Six Elements, their abilities would be enhanced several times over.

This is why he is so persistent about this quick-success method.

Thump—thump—

At that moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Lin Qingci's soft voice came through: "Senior brother, Little Fox, breakfast is ready!"

"coming!"

Gu Jinzhao glanced at An Wanxi.

The latter smiled slightly, then transformed into a beam of light and silently disappeared into his shadow.

The calico cat was half asleep when it heard the words "breakfast," but it instantly opened its eyes, jumped off the bed, and ran towards the door.

But just as she stepped over Gu Jinzhao's shadow, the hair on her body suddenly stood on end.

"what happened?"

Seeing her like this, Si Ruoyu looked puzzled.

The calico cat shrank back fearfully: "There seems to be something in the young master's shadow!"

Gu Jinchao's eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly laughed, "What could a person's shadow be? Could it be that you drank too much last night and are still not sober?"

This calico cat has extremely keen senses; it must have sensed something amiss just now, which is why it reacted this way.

The calico cat, not believing in superstition, raised its little paw and stomped on Gu Jinzhao's shadow again, but the same chilling feeling from before was no longer present.
