Chapter 261: Chapter 122: Little Auntie, You’re So Thirst-Quenching

"My dear Xiangzhu!"

Zhao Ci’s face lit up with joy. He walked over quickly and wrapped his arms around her naturally.

Then, he lowered his handsome face, his eyes full of affection.

Gu Xiangzhu: "..."

’He seems to want to take the lead.’

’That won’t do.’

She twisted around, grabbed Zhao Ci’s wrist, and pinned him against the wall.

Zhao Ci was stunned. "My dear Xiangzhu, you..."

Gu Xiangzhu: "Don’t talk!"

Then, she rose onto her tiptoes.

Zhao Ci: "Mmph..."

His mind went blank for a moment.

’This woman.’

’She’s so aggressive.’

Although she was still a little clumsy, she seemed to have improved a lot since yesterday.

’And she even proactively stuck out her... ’

The kiss against the wall lasted for a long while.

Only then did they finally part.

Zhao Ci felt a little light-headed. Even though his "little auntie" was still a beginner at this, the combination of her stunning looks and the incredible feeling of her touch gave him the thrilling sensation of being dominated and possessed.

His heart was racing.

His knees felt weak.

He knew this wicked woman was trying to play him.

’But if this is her game, then so be it.’

’The experience is so good it makes me tremble...’

"It’s only been a day and you’re already missing me?"

The corners of Gu Xiangzhu’s lips turned up slightly. Seeing the young man like this, she was sure she had him wrapped around her finger.

What pleased her even more was that she herself had become more skillful.

These deliberately crafted, embarrassing lines had been difficult for her to say last time, but now they came out with complete ease.

She even felt a sense of excitement.

She didn’t know where this excitement came from, but she figured it must be the pleasure of controlling someone else.

’And I didn’t get flustered at all this time.’

Aside from the thrill of control, her body felt no other strange sensations.

"Not just for a day. I’ve been thinking about you ever since you left."

"Really? You’d better not be lying to me."

The corners of Gu Xiangzhu’s lips curved up, but she knew he wasn’t lying. After all, the Soul Mist had clearly told her last night that after she left, this young man had actually...

"How could I lie to you? My dear Xiangzhu, I’m thirsty. Can you let me get a drink of water first?"

"Mm-hmm."

Gu Xiangzhu nodded, feeling increasingly pleased with herself. ’I really didn’t lose my composure this time.’

Aside from that slight thrill, her body felt no other strange sensations.

She released her grip, stepped aside, and let Zhao Ci go get a drink of water.

But for some reason, she staggered.

Zhao Ci quickly steadied her. "What’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing!"

Gu Xiangzhu waved her hand. "I was just too busy today. My legs are a little weak from exhaustion."

Zhao Ci: "Oh... Then let me help you over there."

As he spoke, he put an arm around her waist and helped her to a chair.

Gu Xiangzhu’s body stiffened slightly, but she figured an arm around her waist was less intimate than a kiss, so it probably wasn’t a big deal. She didn’t bother thinking of a counter-strategy.

The two sat facing each other.

Zhao Ci poured two cups of tea, pushed one in front of Gu Xiangzhu, and then downed several cups himself.

’That really hit the spot!’

Gu Xiangzhu, meanwhile, rested her cheek in her hand and watched him with a faint smile. ’The young man is quite thoughtful.’

Once he put his cup down, she asked with a smile, "Did you come looking for me for any other reason?"

"Actually, yes!"

Zhao Ci nodded. "I’ve been thinking about something all day. My dear Xiangzhu, you and Huangfu Song are opponents, right?"

"You could say that. We have significant disagreements."

Gu Xiangzhu said thoughtfully, "You have an opinion on this?"

Zhao Ci took a deep breath. "Since you have disagreements, if I were Huangfu Song, I would definitely try to weaken your power in any way I can. I’m caught up in the factional strife now, and if I can achieve something, I should be able to gain considerable authority. Do you think... he might try to sow discord between us?"

’If he succeeds in driving a wedge between us...’

’...then no one will pin me down for a kiss anymore.’

Seeing his nervous expression, Gu Xiangzhu found it rather amusing. ’I didn’t expect him to care about me this much.’

She smiled and said, "Of course I’ve thought about it! But they would never guess that I’ve already revealed my identity to you. Even if they try to sow discord, they’ll likely just focus on my role as your fake mother consort. You don’t need to be too nervous."

"What about other methods of causing trouble?"

"As long as we’re honest with each other, what method could possibly drive us apart?"

Gu Xiangzhu said with a smile, but she couldn’t help but feel a pang of shame. ’He’s been honest with me, but I haven’t been honest with him.’

Zhao Ci’s heart skipped a beat. ’But I haven’t been honest with you! What if he actually succeeds?’

Gu Xiangzhu shook her head. "Instead of worrying about that, you should be on guard against several methods of possession. Memorize them, and if you see any signs, call for me immediately to protect you. Those Secret Skills are all in the Bronze Scroll I gave you."

"Okay!"

Zhao Ci nodded solemnly. Although he didn’t know if Zhang Da Yong and the Demon Monarch were truly after him for possession, it was definitely right to be cautious.

The Bronze Scroll detailed three methods of possession.

One was the Soul Mist Possession Technique. His "little auntie" had demonstrated it to him on the night she almost killed him. This method had the lowest cost but was only suitable for creating puppets, not for a complete transfer of the Primordial Spirit.

The other two methods were actually variations of the same approach, both focused on eliminating the influence of the original body’s Primordial Spirit. Otherwise, the after-effects of merging two souls would be severe.

The techniques were simply different.

One way was to use a thunderous technique to crush and annihilate the original owner’s Primordial Spirit. This would cause the original owner’s personality and memories to dissipate completely.

The other way was to use something called a Paradise Gu to trap the original owner’s Primordial Spirit in a dream world where all their wishes come true, causing them to degenerate until they faded into nothingness. This way, the original owner’s Primordial Spirit would vanish, but all their memories would be preserved.

If one had to choose the most suitable method of possession for the Demon Monarch, it would undoubtedly be the Paradise Gu Technique. After all, the insights into the Emperor’s Extreme Body Refining Technique at the Harmony Realm were an incredibly rare prize for anyone.

However, the Paradise Gu hadn’t been seen in the world for a hundred years.
