Really thirsty.
My body was burning, my throat was smoking, and even my eyes were red.
He couldn't help swallowing again.
But saliva could not quench his thirst, but made him even thirstier.
His eyes were always fixed on the pink little mouth of the girl in front of him, and he felt like he was about to explode with thirst.
"Sister Yue, let me kiss you... Can you let me drink some water?"
He pleaded in a trembling voice.
The girl's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her cold eyes. She looked into his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly.
Luo Qingzhou was overjoyed. Just as he was about to pounce on his food like a hungry wolf, the girl took out a water bottle, handed it to him, and said, "Take a sip."
Luo Qingzhou paused for a moment, then came to his senses. He took the kettle and asked, "Can I drink it all in one gulp?"
The girl said calmly: "Okay, all the previous efforts will be wasted."
The corner of Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched, and he had to open the cork and take a small sip.
As the cool water went down my throat, I felt instantly refreshed.
I couldn't help but shiver all over.
Although he wanted to drink all the water in the pot in one breath, his reason told him that he had to continue and be patient.
At the most critical moment of forging iron, water cannot be added.
“It doesn’t quench your thirst at all.”
Luo Qingzhou returned the kettle to her, took another look at her little mouth, and said with a dry mouth: "Sister Yue, can I make another unreasonable request?"
The girl took the kettle and said coldly, "No."
"I haven't said anything yet."
"No matter what you say, it's not allowed. Keep practicing."
The girl said coldly.
Luo Qingzhou sighed and closed his eyes.
After a moment.
He opened his eyes again and said, "Sister Yue, I feel like my internal organs are burning. I may not be able to bear it anymore..."
The girl looked at him coldly: "So?"
Luo Qingzhou swallowed his saliva and said, "I think if Sister Yue could let me kiss her, I might be able to hold on for a few more hours..."
The girl narrowed her eyes, and a trace of frost suddenly condensed on her fingertips.
Luo Qingzhou's eyes lit up, his face full of anticipation: "Come on, Sister Yue, punish me, don't have to pity me!"
Girl: “…”
At this moment, a majestic and cold voice suddenly came from the door: "How about letting me punish you?"
Luo Qingzhou froze for a moment, then immediately closed his eyes and continued to practice.
“Swish!”
The whirlpools above the head and around the body suddenly began to spin faster.
Waves of pure and rich vital energy surged into his body like waves.
He endured the burning sensation in his body and continued to absorb it quickly.
Nangong Huoyue, wearing a fiery red dress, stood at the door, looking coldly at him with his red body and proud head held high. Then she glanced at the girl in a white dress sitting in front of him, her eyes flashed, and she wanted to speak, but held back.
"snort!"
She snorted coldly, turned around and left, dragging her red skirt with her.
Bastard!
Out of sight, out of mind!
A night passed in the blink of an eye.
After dawn.
After Nangong Huoyue finished the morning court, he reviewed memorials in the study for a while, and then could not help but come underground.
At this time, Luo Qingzhou had already started to break through.
The redness on his body had faded a lot, but the pain on his face was still increasing. The sweat on his body was shining brightly under the illumination of the Spirit Mineral Heart above his head.
A vast amount of energy rapidly surged through his body, rushing towards the gate leading to the next realm!
His whole body suddenly trembled.
The blood color on his face gradually faded away.
Obviously, he didn't rush over this time.
He was gathering his strength to make his next sprint.
From the late Grandmaster stage to the Grandmaster stage, there is a hurdle that makes all practitioners tremble.
Most practitioners will never be able to break through in their entire life.
Some people even prepared for many years to break through this barrier, but ultimately failed.
Some people are unwilling to fail and keep forcing themselves to keep moving forward.
As a result, all the meridians in the body were damaged, the acupoints were ruptured, and all the years of cultivation were destroyed.
In order to break through this barrier, a strong physique, vast energy, as well as tenacious willpower and determination are all indispensable.
But once you feel that you cannot break through, you must give up decisively without any hesitation or stubbornness.
Otherwise, the result may be disability at best, or death at worst.
Nangong Huoyue was actually very worried and nervous.
After all, he had just made two breakthroughs in a row some time ago.
Now we have taken a shortcut and are trying to force our way through. If we fail, the consequences will be disastrous.
But at this moment, it was too late for her to dissuade him.
She could only look at him silently, not daring to utter a word or even make a sound.
The girl sitting in front of him also sat there quietly, not moving.
Time suddenly passed very slowly.
In the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.
After hundreds of sprints, Luo Qingzhou is now exhausted, with pain all over his body and covered in sweat.
He opened his eyes, panted, and took a short break.
The girl in front of him handed him a jade bottle, which contained the spiritual liquid he gave her.
"Two drops."
She said softly, and the coldness in her eyes seemed to soften.
Luo Qingzhou stretched out his palm, looked at her and said: "A few more drops, I feel that the energy is still a little insufficient. When I was breaking through the barrier before, the barrier became weaker and weaker, but it feels that this time, the barrier is not moving at all."
The girl silently tilted the jade bottle and poured three drops for him, then looked at him and said, "This is how it is in the higher realms. The further you advance, the harder it becomes. If you really can't hold on, then give up. There will be another chance in the future."
Luo Qingzhou absorbed the spiritual liquid, clenched his palms, looked at her and said, "If I give up, will I still have the opportunity to practice with Sister Yue in the future?"
The girl was silent for a moment, then said, "You can practice with others, anyway..."
She looked at him and said, "There are a lot of people waiting for you."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her deeply: "But, it's different."
The girl locked eyes with him and asked, "What's the difference?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's just different."
The girl said nothing more.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Luo Qingzhou stared at her blankly for a while, then suddenly reached out and held her two jade hands, then pulled her into his arms. Without waiting for her to struggle, he hugged her tightly, then lowered his head and kissed her little mouth.
At this moment, hot and cold, strong and weak, red and white, pressed tightly together...
The girl struggled in his arms, but soon, her cold lips and heart gradually melted under his hot kiss and deep love...
She lay softly in his arms, with her face tilted up, her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembling, quietly...
And he kissed her even more affectionately...
Above his head, the crystal clear heart of the spiritual mineral was still flickering slowly.
And streams of pure vital energy were still flowing into his body.
He suddenly felt that he had not stopped practicing.
On the contrary, the burning sensation and discomfort in the body suddenly eased a lot.
So, he stopped suppressing himself and continued to kiss the girl in his arms. The emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time burst out at this moment...
The door not far away.
Nangong Huoyue, dressed in a fiery red dress, stood there, watching the scene quietly.
At first, her face was gloomy.
But gradually, she regained her composure, looked for a while, and then turned and left.
"It doesn't matter. She has no share in the two wives. When she comes in, she will have to kneel on the ground and call me good sister..."
"There is a huge difference between a concubine and a wife... No matter how powerful or favored she is, she cannot compare to my status..."
"Humph, you ignored him at first and divorced him with a piece of paper. Have you ever thought about this day?"
"Arrogant woman, I really want to see you lower your proud head, kneel before me and call me sister. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, but you will definitely lower your proud head and kneel before him, right? At that time, I will take out the communication certificate and take a good photo of you, so that you can see your embarrassed and humble appearance..."
I don't know why.
She felt excited when she thought of these images.
But the scene just now still made her feel sick.
"vomit-"
She retched again, covering her mouth and wondering, "Is it really that disgusting?"
Then he snorted coldly: "Pretending to be pure and innocent, noble and white, and inviolable, but what's the result... Humph, hypocritical woman! Ugh—"
In the evening.
When Nangong Huoyue was sleeping in the study, Yuewu reported at the door: "Your Majesty, Dean Bai is here and is waiting outside."
Nangong Huoyue opened her eyes, put on her clothes and went out immediately.
In the corridor outside.
A middle-aged man in white clothes, with his hands behind his back, was looking at the clouds in the distance and thinking about something.
Nangong Huoyue came out in a hurry and asked respectfully, "Why is the dean here now? Are you leaving?"
Bai Yishan turned his head and glanced at her, slightly startled, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty looks a little tired, didn't you get enough rest? State affairs are busy, but you must take care of yourself."
When Nangong Huoyue heard the address she received, she was slightly startled, thinking that he had called her the wrong name.
Bai Yishan looked at her gently, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said, "I heard that there was a great victory on the border, and two cities that were taken away by the demons were also recaptured. The rebels of the seven countries and the Thai king's rebels have also surrendered, and the other princes have also returned to their own fiefdoms..."
"Your Majesty was able to quell the domestic rebellion and defeat the demon army in such a short period of time, allowing officials and the people to regain their confidence in the court. This is truly remarkable."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, and said: "These are not all my achievements. In fact, these things..."
"I know."
Bai Yishan nodded slightly, with a gentle smile on his face: "These are all Feiyang's help to you. Your Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy, impeccable in military affairs, and also excellent in state affairs, but the most amazing thing is his vision. Your Majesty is blessed to be able to choose Feiyang as your husband, and so is Dayan."
Nangong Huoyue's cheeks turned slightly red when she was praised, but she felt uncomfortable when she thought that the guy who was praised might still be kissing and kissing other women in the underground.
Bai Yishan suddenly sighed: "When you ascended the throne, no one believed that you could stay in this position forever. After all, there has never been a precedent of a daughter becoming an emperor in Da Yan. I also thought it was absurd at the time. When the princes of the seven countries and the King of Thailand attacked you together, everyone thought that you would be driven off the throne in a few days, and I felt the same way. But in the end... within a few days, you easily quelled the rebellion under the circumstances of internal and external troubles. Then, you repelled the demon tribe on the border and recovered the lost territory..."
At this point, he sighed again: "In the past few days, I have visited the whole country. Although everyone is discussing that you took the throne with your daughter, which is really wrong, they also admire you. Those princes who were originally arrogant have been frightened and are taking the initiative to reduce their armies and divide their territories... At the same time, no one dares not to comply with the policies issued by your majesty for the people..."
"Your Majesty..."
He looked at the girl in front of him with satisfaction and said, "You are indeed the most qualified person to sit in this position. In fact, we are all pedantic. No matter whether she is a man or a woman, as long as she is capable of seeking benefits for the people of Da Yan and can govern Da Yan better, we should support her."
Nangong Huoyue looked at his gentle and kind eyes, listened to his sincere encouragement, and seemed to see her father back then. With mist in her eyes, she said softly, "Thank you, Dean."
Bai Yishan said gently: "Don't worry, all the rumors will disappear because of your strength. Those who slander you and look down on you will eventually be silenced and convinced by your strength."
Then he added, "We'll set off early this morning. After we get there, I'll have to meet a few friends to sound out the situation. Their help will be indispensable for this negotiation."
Nangong Huoyue nodded and said, "Yes."
Bai Yishan paused and asked, "Have you informed Miss Yue Yao? If she doesn't go, the people from Piao Miao Xian Zong will have a reason to bring people directly into our Da Yan to arrest people."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, then said, "Dean, can she escape? Escape from Da Yan and go somewhere else."
Bai Yishan was slightly startled and asked, "What about her family? Escape together?"
Nangong Huoyue said: "We can let them hide their identities and hide together in a deserted place..."
Bai Yishan shook his head and said, "You can't escape. The power of Piaomiao Immortal Sect is not as simple as you think. In the entire Jiuzhou Continent, except for Jiutian Yaotai and Penglai Immortal Island, they are the strongest. There is no point in running away from this kind of thing. You can only find a way to face it and solve it."
Nangong Huoyue frowned and said, "But how can we solve this problem? Once she goes there, she will definitely be captured by the people of Piaomiao Xianzong. Then..."
Bai Yishan asked doubtfully: "What will happen then?"
Nangong Huoyue lowered her head slightly: "When the time comes, many people will be unable to resist saving her."
Bai Yishan glanced at her and said, "When we discuss the terms with Piao Miao Xian Zong, we will try to take a few steps back, and I will also try my best to protect her. Piao Miao Xian Zong just thinks that she broke the rules and made the other party lose face. In fact, if she took the initiative to apologize and give in in front of the three major Xian Zongs, things might be much easier..."
Nangong Huoyue immediately gave a bitter smile: "Getting her to apologize and give in... is probably harder than climbing to the sky."
Bai Yishan looked at the sky and said without saying anything more: "Your Majesty, please go back and rest for a while. I will come to pick you up when the time comes. I still have some articles to write, so I will go back first."
Nangong Huoyue cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for troubling the dean."
Bai Yishen's figure flashed, and then he flew into the air and disappeared.
The sun sets quickly.
Nangong Huoyue stood on the corridor for a while and then went underground.
I hope that guy can hold back and nothing happens with that hypocritical woman.
otherwise…
Humph!
