Chapter 310: Chapter 131: Xiangzhu, My Wife, Let Me Explain, This Is a Legitimate Massage

The Paradise Gu’s transparent body seemed to get stuck in a mire, its speed slowing drastically out of nowhere.

Then.

The air seemed to compress.

SPLAT!

It burst apart, splattering all over the room.

Huangfu Song: "!?!!?!?!"

He was stunned.

He never thought that after years of not crossing paths, Gu Xiangzhu’s strength would have grown to this extent.

And his own treasured Paradise Gu, on its very first outing, had been destroyed so easily it was like a joke.

This...

’The Paradise Gu is gone.’

’How am I supposed to narrow the search area now?’

Gu Xiangzhu glared at him coldly. "Get out now, and I’ll spare your life. Don’t wait for me to change my mind. Once the men from the Imperial Clan Court get here, you’re dead!"

Huangfu Song: "???"

A threat!

It had been a long time since he’d been threatened like this!

Fueled by his rage at the botched start and the loss of his Paradise Gu, his eyes glinted with murderous intent. "Bitch! How dare you..."

"Get out!"

"Fine!"

Huangfu Song shot Gu Xiangzhu a furious glare, quickly left the building, and departed after gathering his twelve subordinates.

’Better to live to fight another day.’

’If Gu Xiangzhu really managed to tie me down until the experts from the Imperial Clan Court arrived, my men and I would all be done for.’

’Besides, the main group should have succeeded by now. The search area should be much smaller.’

’Time to go!’

The Grand Array, which had been impenetrable just a moment ago, crumbled in an instant.

The few people who had been attacking the array hurried over.

Zhao Qing’s face twitched, and he almost fell to his knees before Gu Xiangzhu. "Greetings, Lady Jing!"

Technically.

As a Steward of the Imperial Clan Court.

He wasn’t required to bow to Gu Xiangzhu.

But damn it.

The last time he saw Gu Xiangzhu, it was because he’d failed to protect her son.

This time he was seeing Gu Xiangzhu, and it was again because he’d failed to protect her son.

Zhao Qing felt like he couldn’t even look her in the eye.

Gu Xiangzhu was exasperated. To think it was this jinx both times.

’Is he the only person in the entire Imperial Clan Court?’

’Such rotten luck!’

But she clearly had no time to be angry with Zhao Qing.

She just gave a quiet order, "Guard the door," then threw Zhang Da Yong out of the room, slammed the door shut, and set up a restrictive ward for good measure.

The matter was too urgent.

Although she hadn’t gotten a clear look at what flew toward Huangfu Song’s palm, she had smelled a strange trace of Soul Power the moment it exploded.

This Soul Power...

It awakened many extremely joyful memories and desires within her.

The Paradise Gu!

’I’ve never seen one before.’

’But there’s no mistaking it!’

’This is a huge problem!’

’These people... they’re really trying to help the Demon Monarch take over his body.’

’I may have interrupted them, but Zhao Ci must have already fallen into the Joyful Dream.’

’This kind of dream is extremely dangerous. Even I might not be able to break free if I fell into it.’

’I have to get him out of there as quickly as possible.’

Otherwise, his will would be eroded, and even a peerless prodigy like him would become a slave to his desires.

Gu Xiangzhu quickly sat down beside Zhao Ci, leaned over, and pressed her forehead to his. Wisps of white Soul Mist seeped from her brow and flowed into Zhao Ci’s Spirit Platform.

She wasn’t confident she could break the Joyful Dream.

So she had to go all out from the very beginning.

She wasn’t even sure if she could enter the dreamscape.

According to the records, the Joyful Dream would only admit people who appeared in the dream itself.

’But I should appear in his dream, right?’

This worry had barely formed in Gu Xiangzhu’s mind before it was dismissed.

She was certain she would be in Zhao Ci’s dream.

The only uncertainty was what role she would play.

Because she wasn’t a hundred percent certain that Zhao Ci trusted her completely.

Losing her chance to seize the Celestial Demon Seal left her incredibly agitated.

At the same time, on the verge of entering the Joyful Dream, she also found herself in a state of extreme panic.

Because she didn’t fully trust Zhao Ci either.

At this moment, the last lingering shred of distrust she had for Zhao Ci was completely unearthed and fanned into a raging flame, searing her already frayed nerves.

’One last test.’

’The most rigorous test.’

’And also the most harrowing one.’

She felt like a gambler who, despite feeling certain of victory, still experiences a gut-wrenching terror the moment she bets her entire fortune.

’This is my chance to observe you!’

’I’ve bet almost all my chips on you.’

’I even almost gave you my body...’

’I want to see just how big a part of your Joyful Dream I occupy.’

’No! It shouldn’t be just *a part*!’

’If it’s really as you said, and you want me to be your everything, then when it comes to matters of love, no other woman can appear in your dream.’

’I’m going to see if you’ve lied to me in the slightest!’

’Little boy, I can’t afford to lose!’

’If you make me lose, don’t blame me for being ruthless!’

Her consciousness slowly entered.

Passing through wisps of chaos.

She suddenly felt a powerful pull.

WHOOSH!

The Soul Mist was pulled into a space.
