The witch comes into my arms

A night of wind and rain washed away the tiles and bricks of Yongning City, and also turned the clear river into a muddy river. In the evening, the setting sun was reflected in the puddles of water, crushed by the wheels, and scattered into orange ripples.

The carriage entered the palace. Several pairs of hidden eyes stared at the curtain. An unfavored princess got off the carriage and went to the Queen's palace.

Xia Yuan was not in the carriage. He used his half-step Dongxuan cultivation to deceive the secret sentries of other forces along the way. When the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate, he had already passed through the secret passage and reached the palace wall.

He was wearing a dark blue eunuch's uniform and walked into the Xianshu Palace with his head lowered.

The palace maids who were familiar with him in the past did not see his face clearly. They only saw the badge of Emperor Yongning on his waist and did not dare to stop him. After a brief announcement, they let him enter the main hall.

Concubine Shu lay on her side on the Luohan bed, the setting sun shone through the window paper, fell on her shoulders, and cast an elegant shadow on the pure white sheets.

She raised her eyes, looked at the person who came in, smiled, and said coquettishly: "Xiao Yuanzi, come and massage my shoulders."

This was just teasing the boy, but unexpectedly, the boy was so obedient. He walked straight to Luohan's bed and sat down, and put his hand on her shoulder.

The boy's technique was not very good and lying sideways was not a good massage position. More importantly, it was not Shufei's shoulders that were sore.

She opened Xia Yuan's palm and said, "You are so clumsy that you can't even massage my shoulders. Please rub my belly."

Xia Yuan's palm then moved down, and rubbed the flat and warm skin through the dark purple silk dress.

"Strange," Concubine Shu looked up and down at Xia Yuan, "Why are you so obedient today?"

"It must be because he did something wrong." Xiao Yunnu's voice sounded behind Xia Yuan.

Bi Xin accompanied Han Yue in her seclusion at the Sword Washing Pool. Xiao Yunnu took over her job and became Shu Fei's servant. During these months, they lived in a small palace next to Xian Shu Palace.

"We still don't know who did something wrong." Xia Yuan thought about what happened last night and glanced at the girl.

Xiao Yunnu blushed slightly, snorted, and raised her head. Concubine Shu's eyes shifted slightly, then turned back.

"What's the guilty conscience?" Concubine Shu looked at Xiao Yunnu and then at Xia Yuan with her phoenix eyes, full of confusion.

Xiao Yunnu thought to himself, why are you pretending? I see that the soul connection between you and me has not been broken.

She opened her mouth to make a few teasing remarks, but when the words reached her lips, she suddenly lost control and changed her mouth shape: "I checked with Dong Tianxin last night, but he had gone back a long time ago, and only came to see the queen now!"

"There are many beauties in the palace. It is a rare opportunity for you to come and see me before dark." Concubine Shu said with a smile.

She withdrew her arm that was supporting her head, held down Xia Yuan's palm, turned over, and lay flat on the bed.

The sunlight dyed her dress orange and gilded her long eyelashes.

"Xiao Yuanzi is so well behaved today." She did not forget the original question and looked at Xia Yuan with inquiry.

She was wondering why Xia Yuan was so close today. If she wasn't sure that her magic and disguise were flawless, she would have suspected that the boy knew what happened last night.

Xia Yuan didn't know about that. When he entered the room, he used the Treasure Mirror of Time to look at the maids in Xianshu Palace and looked at the future again.

Thanks to his efforts, the future has changed a lot, but the ending still cannot escape the death of Emperor Yongning and the disappearance of Concubine Shu.

This made him a little sad, so he was gentler towards Concubine Shu.

He certainly couldn't tell this to Concubine Shu, so he praised Concubine Shu's clothes and jewelry and changed the subject.

There is no woman who doesn't like compliments, especially those from people she approves of. Concubine Shu smiled more, and the whole thing melted away in the joyful gaze and laughter.

After the laughter, Concubine Shu talked about business: "You made quite a commotion when you went out this time."

Xia Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. Only the Tianmu Sect and the Chixiao Sword Sect should know about his affairs in the Demon Realm, and not many people would know about it. Only some participants and high-level officials of the Tianmu Sect would know about it, and only a few people in the Chixiao Sword Sect would know about it.

Where did Concubine Shu get the news from? Xia Yuan thought, most likely from the Tianmu Cult.

I just don't know what the relationship between Shufei and the Tianmu Sect is, and what position she holds in the sect.

Moreover, since the Tianmu Sect already has a concubine in Daning, why should it support the Southern Territory?

Unfortunately, although the Mirror of Time can illuminate the mysterious world, it cannot yet reveal Concubine Shu’s past and future. Once he steps into the mysterious world, he should be able to see the secret clearly.

"Just a few things," he replied.

Shufei's words were vague, so his answer was also vague.

"What should we do with the girl you provoked?" Concubine Shu asked again.

"There is ample time."

Concubine Shu was silent for a moment, looking at the orange light outside the window. Her palm was still pressing Xia Yuan's hand, and her fingers gently stroked the back of the boy's palm.

"Where to go next?" Concubine Shu raised her hand and used her fingers to push away the palm on her lower abdomen.

Xia Yuan put his hands on his knees and said, "Find a place to break through the cave."

Xiao Yunnu was astonished. Although she guessed that the boy was not far from Dongxuan when she got the information about Tianmu Sect, she still didn't expect that it would be so fast.

From the peak of Baodan to Half-step Dongxuan, and then from Half-step Dongxuan to true Dongxuan, even for the core disciples of first-rate forces, it would take several years.

"Is there a place?"

"There is a cave."

“When will we be on the road?”

"tomorrow."

"What happens after breaking through Dongxuan?" Concubine Shu asked again.

The Chixiao Sword Sect is looking for a young man. Although the Daning Dynasty has the power to protect the young man, it is not appropriate to attract the attention of Jingshen at this time.

Especially Feng Huaiyu, the strongest god of scenery.

"Go to the southern border." Xia Yuan replied.

Yes, it is to go to the southern border, solve the biggest obstacle in Emperor Yongning's plan to be promoted to Jingshen, kill Prince Zhennan, and seize the national weapon of the southern border.

Long before everything started, Xia Yuan decided to wait until Dongxuan or Nirvana to deal with the King of Zhennan.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Concubine Shu was puzzled.

The King of Zhennan is in the Dongxuan realm, but with the national weapon of the Southern Realm, he can reach the Nirvana realm. In the Nirvana realm, he is also a powerful existence.

"Time waits for no one." Xia Yuan's answer was brief.

He has used the Mirror of Time to see through part of the truth of the future. The fire five years later, the fall of Emperor Yongning, and the rebellion in the southern border were not just internal struggles in Daning, but also the intervention of Jingshen.

Now, it is still early for Emperor Yongning to implement his plan, and the gods have not yet reached a consensus. If they want the plan to succeed, they have to attack them by surprise.

Five years is too short. Although Xia Yuan believes that he has a promising future, he is not sure that he can defeat multiple Jingshen.

Moreover, although he tried his best to keep a low profile, Jingshen still noticed him. In the future of the Book of Time, those disciples of Jingshen caused him a lot of trouble.

The best way to break the impasse is to quickly promote Emperor Yongning to Jingshen and become one of the strongest people in Xuntian Continent.

And the means that allowed Emperor Yongning to be promoted to Jingshen... Xia Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the spirit ring on his hand. Inside the spirit ring, the white jade gourd emitted a faint light.

He had learned the function of the white jade gourd from the future in the Book of Time.
