Chapter 1239: Tang Sanzang's Flesh

Zu'an finally understood why people called fox spirits so enchantingly seductive: they truly knew how to please men. Even in mid-air, where she couldn't steady herself, she managed to perform incredible feats using Zu'an's body. Had Zu'an not experienced it firsthand the night before, he would have found it hard to believe a pure maiden could do such things. One could only say this was the natural talent of the fox spirit tribe.

He didn't know how much time had passed when Zu'an came back to his senses. He realized they had unknowingly flown a thousand li away from Qingqiu Kingdom. He suddenly recalled a poem by Li Bai from his previous life that perfectly described his feelings, how effortlessly and swiftly their journey felt, like traveling a thousand li in a single day.

Tushan Yu clung to him like a koala. Her chest rose and fell continuously, her face flushed, and tiny beads of sweat glistened at her temples. Clearly, the unstable environment had required her to expend several times more energy than usual.

She leaned close to Zu'an's ear, her breath like orchids, "My lord, how do I compare to Queen Medusa...?"

Zu'an chuckled, somewhat taken aback. "You really love to compare yourself to others, don't you?"

"Tell me~" Tushan Yu's voice was sweet and cloying. It had to be said, few men in the world could resist a fox spirit when she started to flirt.

Too bad Zu'an was currently in the sky!

He reached out and gently lifted Tushan Yu's delicate chin. "What you just did was indeed impressive, but in my opinion, it wasn't as good as last night."

"Why?" Tushan Yu looked confused. She felt she had been completely muddled last night, and in retrospect, her performance was a mess.

Zu'an smiled. "Because last night, you were truly overcome with emotion. That natural, spontaneous reaction was far more captivating than any practiced technique."

"Ah~" Tushan Yu seemed to realize something, and her face flushed as she said, "I was so embarrassed last night, behaving like that." She had been trying hard to control herself just now, to avoid acting like that. After all, she was the ruler of a kingdom, and she certainly didn't want to be seen in such an undignified state again.

"I don't think so," Zu'an said, embracing her from behind. "You've worked hard just now; leave the rest to me."

Before Tushan Yu could reply, she suddenly shivered and said, somewhat bashfully, "But what if someone passes by? That would be utterly humiliating." Although they were high in the sky now, there were powerful beings in this world who could also fly. While the chances of encountering anyone else in the middle of the night were slim, what if someone happened to pass by...? When she had been the active one earlier, she could hide her face in his chest, making it difficult for anyone to truly see anything. But like this...

Zu'an rested his chin on her soft shoulder. "Don't worry, if anyone approaches, I'll sense them beforehand."

Hearing him say this, Tushan Yu fell silent. She simply gazed into the distance, her face flushed, terrified that someone might slip through and see them.

An idea sparked in Zu'an's mind. He took out the Universal Veil and directly blindfolded her with it.

"Ah, my lord?" Tushan Yu was startled. She couldn't see anything, and every sensory experience was magnified several times, causing her to panic.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here," Zu'an whispered into her ear. Seeing how much of the Universal Veil was left, he had an idea. He wrapped Tushan Yu with it, suspending her in mid-air, completely freeing his hands.

"My lord, you're so naughty." Tushan Yu's cheeks were flushed. The fox spirit tribe was quite knowledgeable, but everything Zu'an did was exceptionally novel, astonishing her. Could Queen Medusa have taught him all this? But she had never heard that Queen Medusa was skilled in such things. She racked her brain, unaware that while she possessed the generational knowledge of the fox tribe, Zu'an had been taught by countless 'old hands' from his previous life. If they were to truly compare, it was hard to say who would have the upper hand.

The next morning, Zu'an and his companions officially departed from the Qingqiu Royal Palace. However, a palace maid conveyed a message again: their Queen was unwell and would not be able to bid them farewell, wishing them a safe journey. They had also prepared some precious gifts from Qingqiu Kingdom.

Yunjian Yue was somewhat displeased. "What's wrong with that woman? She doesn't look frail at all, yet she's unwell every other day?"

Yan Xuehen frowned delicately. "Perhaps she was injured fighting the Chiwen yesterday. She seemed unwell yesterday already, but forced herself to come out and fight. It's understandable that her injuries would worsen."

Zu'an, standing by, kept his mouth shut. He was probably the only one present who knew what was truly going on with Tushan Yu. In a way, it truly was 'injury on top of injury'. Speaking of which, stroking those fluffy tails was incredibly satisfying. No wonder so many people liked keeping pets. Tushan Yu, for some reason, didn't want to show that side of herself, but with the help of the Universal Veil, she quickly lost control and couldn't resist.

The Universal Veil and the Wind-Fire Wheels were truly useful! If Nezha knew he was using those weapons for such scandalous activities, he might just revive and bash him senseless. But the Wind-Fire Wheels were indeed a great item. With them, he felt like he had a private jet. Although the human world was far away, the distance was no longer an obstacle.

While he was lost in thought, Yu Yanluo said, puzzled, "But why did she suddenly prepare gifts for us? She didn't give us anything when we left yesterday."

Hearing her speak, Yan Xuehen and Yunjian Yue instinctively closed their mouths, ignoring her. At the same time, they secretly snorted, "That hussy!"

Being women themselves, Yu Yanluo immediately sensed the abnormality. She looked at the two women in confusion, wondering if she had offended them in some way.

Zu'an, seeing this, quickly said, "Perhaps she's thanking us for helping her yesterday."

Yunjian Yue chuckled. "Then we're just basking in your reflected glory." While their status meant they didn't really care for gifts, the unique products of the fox tribe were rarely seen, so they appreciated the novelty.

"But I still find it a bit strange," Yu Yanluo continued, "if she were truly grateful, she should have at least come out to see us off personally. Just sending gifts now feels a bit impolite." Yu Yanluo was puzzled, recalling that the Queen of Qingqiu had seemed quite tactful and worldly during their previous conversations.

Zu'an immediately broke into a cold sweat. Tushan Yu had lost her virginity the day before yesterday and had been 'battling' with him all night yesterday. It was already a testament to her extraordinary physique, but she was walking a bit strangely now. She was worried that someone with ill intentions might notice something amiss and spread rumors, which was why she preferred a slightly offensive approach.

After thinking for a moment, he explained on her behalf, "She might be trying to avoid suspicion."

"Avoid suspicion? What suspicion would she need to avoid?" The three women instantly became wary.

"Because she informed me about my super-grade talent being exposed and warned me not to go to the Imperial Court," Zu'an sighed. "This was also his biggest headache right now. Going to the Imperial Court was too risky, but if he didn't go, he was worried about Yu Yanluo."

"What?" Hearing this, their expressions all changed. Having spent so much time together, the three women had learned about his super-grade talent for various reasons. They also understood how much animosity such talent could attract.

After some questioning, they learned it had been exposed after his battle with the Golden Crow Prince. Yan Xuehen said with a solemn expression, "Don't go to the Imperial Court; it's simply too dangerous."

To everyone's surprise, Yunjian Yue didn't argue with her. "Exactly. Many people will try to nip you in the bud before you grow powerful, as no one wants another formidable enemy on their cultivation path. Furthermore, some people desire your flesh and blood. It's rumored that the essence blood of those with super-grade talent can extend life and provide immeasurable aid to cultivation."

Zu'an's expression turned strange. In his previous life, no matter how unappetizing something was, if it was touted as an aphrodisiac, it could be eaten to the brink of extinction. His current situation was far more dangerous than those things. He had practically become 'Tang Monk's flesh' — everyone wanted a bite.

Yu Yanluo also said, "A'Zu, please go back to the human world with Sister Yan and Sister Yun. I don't want you to go to the Imperial Court just to die."

Both Yan Xuehen and Yunjian Yue nodded in unison. They thought, 'This woman may be a home-wrecker, but she still knows what's important.'

Zu'an said gravely, "I'll accompany you for a while first, then act as the situation demands. I suspect this news is only known to a few, so it might not be as dangerous as you think."

The group continued to argue about this, but eventually had to temporarily set their opinions aside.

After the group left Qingqiu City, Yan Xuehen suddenly let out a soft exclamation. "A'Zu, when did the Queen of Qingqiu inform you?"

The other two women also seemed to be reminded and immediately looked at him suspiciously.
