A girl’s body fragrance greeted him.
Xun Er was lying quietly on the red couch, her whole person emitting a peaceful temperament like an orchid.
A pair of delicate jade hands were crossed in front of her.
On her rounded, warm, and bright right wrist, a green silk thread hung two small bells.
On her delicate right arm, a point of cinnabar blossomed crimson.
The purple-gold hairband was now untied, and three thousand strands of black hair were spread on the couch.
On a beautifully clear melon-seed face, her star-like eyes were tightly closed, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly with the girl’s orchid-like breathing.
Her jade-like ears were hidden in her hair.
Gu Yao stood dazed, looking at Xun Er’s sleeping face, countless images of the miss flashing through his mind: her gentle smile, her naughty face-making, her blushing when shy.
Gu Yao just stood there in front of the couch, eyes closed, smiling foolishly.
Only after a long, long time did Gu Yao move his gaze from Xun Er’s face to look down.
At that moment, his breathing and heartbeat stopped.
Following Gu Yao’s almost frozen gaze, under the moon-white skirt hem, Xun Er’s pair of bare jade feet were suddenly in view.
Rounded and snowy-white ankles, delicate soles, smooth arches, and tops of the feet elegantly and perfectly displayed the slenderness and daintiness of these small feet.
Her tiny, playful toes with shell-like little nails were bathed in a blurred light under the swaying red glow.
On her ankles, which were so white they were dazzling, a thin golden anklet was wound around.
Gu Yao’s eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Xun Er’s pair of jade lotuses, which were like works of art.
At that moment, he felt as if his whole body were ignited by fire-attribute Dou Qi.
His face turned scarlet, and he breathed heavily; the transcendence of a Dou Sheng vanished at this moment.
Gu Yao’s mind was completely blank.
He used all his strength to stare at Xun Er’s pair of jade lotuses, as if he wanted to engrave their playful and cute appearance, every bit and piece of them, into his mind.
Gu Yao himself didn’t know that from the time he stepped into this small space where only he and Xun Er were present until he regained consciousness, a full two hours had passed by calculation.
After standing dazed several times, Gu Yao finally took a step forward to the couch; he had never been so close to the miss.
The sweet body fragrance of the girl filled his face more directly.
Gu Yao finally reached out his trembling hands toward the person he held most dear.
The Emperor Locking Array was located on the miss’s lower abdomen, and Gu Yao knew this.
What he had to do was follow the method Soul Emperor said: use his own Dou Qi to drive the miss’s Dou Qi into the array.
As for the second method Soul Emperor mentioned, he seemed to have forgotten it, commanding himself not to think about it.
Gu Yao’s hand finally touched the girl’s fragrant shoulder across the thin white gauze.
Looking at the elegant collarbone, his hand could fully feel Xun Er’s rounded shoulder.
Dou Qi was now infused into Gu Yao’s palm.
The current Gu Yao, looking at the face he longed for and subconsciously glancing at Xun Er’s small feet, had a brain full of the girl’s sweet body fragrance; his brain felt like it was about to melt.
Gu Yao’s current control of Dou Qi was so clumsy he was worse than a trash who had just promoted to Dou Shi (Master).
Slowly, his hand slid down from Xun Er’s fragrant shoulder, following the girl’s rounded jade body slowly downward.
The girl’s upright twin peaks suddenly and gently brushed against Gu Yao’s wrist at a certain curve.
Just this single touch caused Gu Yao to suddenly pull back his hand as if he had received an electric shock, take two steps back, and then slump onto the floor.
Only then did he realize that his sweat had soaked his entire long upper robe.
Gu Yao, as if severely injured, sat on the floor adjusting his breath for a long time before finally standing up again, walking back to his beloved, and starting a new round of Dou Qi grooming.
This time it was relatively smooth.
Although his hands still trembled violently, he at least managed to gather some Dou Qi from the miss’s upper body and send it into the array at Xun Er’s dantian.
When Xun Er’s Dou Qi was guided by outside force into the array, across the white gauze, the array’s grey light patterns lit up once and then went out.
