The energy within the medicinal bath formed an energy vortex, centered on Gu Xun'er, slowly converging into her body. The energy's convergence created layers of colorful ripples on the surface of the bath, appearing quite strange.
"Hmm..."
The energy of the medicinal bath gently nourished and repaired every inch of Gu Xun'er's muscles, blood, bones, and meridians. The comfortable feeling of the gentle energy flowing through her body made Gu Xun'er involuntarily let out a soft moan.
After a long time
, as the energy was slowly absorbed by Gu Xun'er, the originally turbid medicinal liquid, which had been shimmering with an unusual light, had now become completely clear and transparent.
"Splash!"
Gu Xun'er slowly rose, leaving the now crystal-clear, mirror-like medicinal liquid. A mist rose and swirled around her, and her long, dewy black hair swayed gently, like a lotus emerging from the water, fragrant, elegant, and incomparably beautiful.
Her skin, as smooth as jade, and her fair, jade-like body exposed to the air outlined a perfect, graceful curve, like the most perfect work of art in the world.
Gu Xun'er expressionlessly took out an exquisite black robe inlaid with blood-red patterns from her storage ring, draped it over her shoulders, and concealed her alluring figure. Once
dressed, Gu Xun'er slowly extended her right hand, revealing her delicate, white hand, as smooth as jade, and suddenly clenched it tightly.
"Bang! Crack!"
As Gu Xun'er clenched her fist, the surrounding air was instantly compressed and exploded with a violent sonic boom. The space within the secret chamber was cracked by Gu Xun'er's grip. "
Whoosh!"
A wave of air surged from Gu Xun'er's fist, spreading and impacting every corner of the secret chamber from her center. All the items inside were scattered by the impact, and the protective array within the chamber creaked and cracked.
Feeling the continuous, vibrant life force within her body and the terrifying power it contained, Gu Xun'er raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of joy finally appearing in her usually calm eyes.
A delicate smile curved her lips on her cold, beautiful face, completely dispelling her previous indifference and making her stunningly beautiful features so breathtaking that even the heavens and earth paled in comparison.
"Now, with just my physical strength, I can shatter the defenses of a one-star Dou Zong expert with a single punch. Without special methods, even a one-star Dou Zong cannot withstand my physical power.
" "Heh, it's about time, Hun Changqing... you should... go home..."
As a certain name escaped Gu Xun'er's lips, her once clear and beautiful eyes were instantly tinged with a crimson hue.
Her previously cold and elegant, otherworldly aura vanished instantly. At this moment, Gu Xun'er's brows were filled with madness, her cheeks flushed, a terrifying aura rose instantly, and a wicked smile appeared on her lips.
At this moment, Gu Xun'er appeared completely filled with savagery and cunning. Bloodlust surged in her eyes, and dark golden flames rose involuntarily with the surge of her aura.
The pavilion housing the secret chamber trembled violently due to Gu Xun'er's sudden outburst of power, teetering on the verge of collapse.
However, realizing she had lost her composure again, Gu Xun'er quickly regained her composure, her small mouth slightly parted, her tongue licking her lips, the eerie smile lingering.
"Don't be hasty, we still need to find him. It's been almost two years since I last saw him... Hun Changqing..."
The voices within the secret chamber gradually faded until silence returned once more.
... The night
sky, as black as ink, was adorned with countless stars. A cluster of stars surrounded the bright moon, their light and moonlight intertwining to create a beautiful starry canvas.
The starlight and moonlight poured down, illuminating an elegant and refined pavilion, bringing a touch of brightness to the space as night fell.
"Hmm?"
Inside the pavilion, Hun Changqing suddenly frowned, stopping his movements. A strange unease flickered in his heart, a feeling he found very odd.
Meanwhile, Medusa, who had been immersed in sweet bliss, her pretty face flushed,
was displeased by Hun Changqing's words. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.
She pouted, saying discontentedly
, "What are you doing? Be serious..."
"Oh,"
Hun Changqing, sensing Medusa's displeasure, ignored the strange feeling and leaned down again...
After a long while...
the silent battle within the pavilion gradually subsided.
At this moment, in a magnificent room within the attic, Hun Changqing, already dressed, stood before a massive floor-to-ceiling window.
His brows were slightly furrowed, his slender, pale fingers stroking his smooth chin, his deep, dark eyes, like a dark abyss, gazing at the night sky, seemingly lost in thought.
The starlight and moonlight, intertwined, cast a glow upon Hun Changqing's face, which resembled a work of art sculpted from white jade, making him appear like an ethereal immortal bathed in divine light.
Medusa watched Hun Changqing's retreating figure by the window, then stepped down from the already disheveled and rumpled bed, casually draping a slightly transparent silk robe over herself, carelessly concealing her exquisitely alluring and enchanting body, as white as mutton-fat jade.
Even in her nightgown, Medusa's alluring charm remained undiminished. Instead, the robe seemed to shroud her exquisitely beautiful body in a hazy, ethereal mist, creating a dreamlike beauty.
The silky robe clung tightly to Medusa's snow-white skin, perfectly highlighting her stunningly beautiful and alluring figure.
Medusa approached Hun Changqing and asked,
"Beast, you seem rather restless these past few days. What happened? Even with your strength, you can't handle this? Why don't we join forces?"
Medusa's way of thinking was simple. She had always resolved the issues with the snake-people using force, believing that everything could be resolved with strength. If
she couldn't, it meant she wasn't strong enough. If Hun Changqing wasn't strong enough, then she would join him. If that still wasn't enough, then they would run; if they couldn't outrun him, they would die together.
Medusa didn't worry about too many things. Since deciding to follow Hun Changqing, her life revolved around him. Whatever Hun Changqing wanted to do, Medusa would help him, regardless of right or wrong.
Even if, in the end, Hun Changqing's reckless actions led to their mutual demise, Medusa would have no regrets whatsoever, no resentment whatsoever.
