Chapter 285 Strange Jade, A Way Out Of Crisis
"Qianyou, is there nothing you can do?" Li Qingluo asked anxiously.
Qu Qianyou shook her head, a hint of bitterness appearing on her face as she sighed, "I dare not interfere..."
Li Qingluo's beautiful face also showed a sense of despair, "Then what should we do? That person is about to come to this side of the bathhouse. We should at least hide Brother Mu, otherwise it will be troublesome if she finds out..."
Qu Qianyou furrowed her brows, caught in hesitation.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to her mind, and she looked into the distance, her thoughts racing.
"I have a solution!" Qu Qianyou's eyes lit up, a slight smile forming on her lips, as if she had instantly found a lifeline.
"Qianyou, what solution did you come up with?" Li Qingluo was taken aback, quickly asking for more details.
Qu Qianyou smirked cunningly, then pointed at Qin Mu's cheek, saying, "Qin Mu needs a large amount of pure Yin Qi right now..."
Qu Qianyou stared at Li Qingluo with a mischievous smile, then pointed at the figure outside the bathhouse, "Pure Yin Qi is coming right to us."
"Since we can't openly confront her, we might as well use a trick..."
After saying that, Qu Qianyou whispered a few words in Li Qingluo's ear.
Li Qingluo's eyes immediately brightened.
...........
Inside the space vortex.
Mu Qingzi looked at the empty room, her eyes gleaming with a cold light.
She had already checked the entire room and found nothing unusual.
She didn't even see a single figure.
Could it be that Qu Qianyou and Li Qingluo sensed something in advance and hid themselves?
Mu Qingzi pondered for a moment, then shook her head. She was confident that she had been careful enough not to be detected.
If that's the case, then where did Qu Qianyan and Li Qingluo go?
Could it be that they happened to be out of the room?
Mu Qingzi stepped into the bedroom, her jade foot treading on empty space.
"Huh... Why is this bed a bit wet..."
As soon as she entered the room, a damp smell hit her, causing Mu Qingzi to frown.
She kicked the bed and found it soft, as if it was covered in white sand from the bottom of the sea, making Mu Qingzi wrinkle her nose in disgust.
And... why are there such strange things on this bed...
Looking at the strange objects on the bed, a trace of confusion flashed in Mu Qingzi's eyes. She reached out and touched the round disc-shaped object.
As soon as her finger touched the object, Mu Qingzi's body trembled, her eyes filled with even more confusion.
This was a sensation she had never experienced before, as if... she was touching a warm and smooth gem, soft and delicate like white jade.
But upon closer inspection, this object was not a gem, but a peculiar patterned jade.
Mu Qingzi was shocked. What was this?
Why had she never seen such a strange pattern before?
Moreover, this strange patterned jade could slightly tremble.
Mu Qingzi placed her finger on it, and the jade trembled along with it, filling Mu Qingzi with joy.
She was about to study this object and figure out what it was.
Suddenly, she felt something in her heart and looked towards the direction of the bathhouse, her pretty face turning cold.
"There... seems to be someone..."
Mu Qingzi's gaze narrowed, her eyes filled with killing intent.
Her figure flickered, flying towards the bathhouse.
A ripple appeared in space, and Mu Qingzi passed through it, arriving next to the bathhouse.
Mu Qingzi stood still, looking towards the center of the bathhouse.
The mist in the bathhouse was hazy, filled with steam, making everything blurry and impossible to see clearly.
But even so, Mu Qingzi still saw a figure sitting in the middle of the bathhouse.
It was a man.
"There really is someone here..."
Mu Qingzi's gaze froze.
Although she couldn't see his appearance clearly, she could be certain that it was definitely not Qu Qianyou and Li Qingluo.
Who is this guy?
Why would there be a man here?
And why is he sitting motionless in the bath?
Mu Qingzi furrowed her delicate eyebrows, feeling uneasy. "It seems there really are ghosts. The esteemed Great Qing Empress actually has a man hidden away."
Then,
Mu Qingzi's figure appeared next to the bath, and she lifted her leg to step into the bath.
The moment Mu Qingzi's slender foot touched the water in the bath, she saw Qin Mu's face up close. It was pale and devoid of any color, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.
Moreover... Qin Mu was completely soaked, his clothes clinging to his skin, showcasing his well-built chest in a captivating manner. His perfect physique was beyond belief.
Coupled with Mu Qingzi's high vantage point, she could clearly see the faint muscle lines on Qin Mu's chest and abdomen...
Mu Qingzi stared blankly at Qin Mu, her heart racing and her breath becoming rapid.
"It's him! Qin Mu!?"
Mu Qingzi recognized the unmasked Qin Mu, her heart pounding intensely, and a previously unseen hatred filled her eyes.
Is this... an illusion?
She blinked hard, seemingly unable to believe the captivating scene before her eyes.
Mu Qingzi tried to calm her racing heart and maintain her composure, then opened her eyes again.
Yes, it was still the man she hated so much, the man she wished she could slap to death.
Mu Qingzi couldn't believe it. Her enemy, whom she had thought about day and night, had actually appeared right in front of her, and in such a... shameless manner!
This left Mu Qingzi with mixed emotions.
And under the intense fluctuation of her emotions, she could no longer maintain her current state, and her figure became visible.
In another corner of the bath,
Qu Qianyou and Li Qingluo hid in the shadows.
They held their breath and quietly observed.
Under the intense gaze of the two pairs of eyes, the other finally revealed their true face.
A face of extreme beauty appeared before them.
It was a woman.
An extremely beautiful woman.
Her appearance was stunning, with skin as fair as snow, waist-length hair, exquisite and flawless features. She seemed like a celestial being, ethereal and pure. A faint purple mist surrounded her, adding an air of mystery.
She stood silently in the bath, looking down at Qin Mu, who was sitting cross-legged. Her gaze was complex and indiscernible, as if she was experiencing indescribable emotions.
After seeing the face of this figure, Qu Qianyou was momentarily stunned, then her eyes turned icy, revealing her killing intent.
"It's her!"
Li Qingluo's voice also sounded astonished, clearly indicating that her heart was not calm either.

PS: I drove for another seven hours today, and my legs are numb. In the next few days, there are still many things to do.
On the 9th, her father will come over to discuss the engagement date, dowry, and other pre-wedding matters. On the 10th, I have to go with my parents to propose marriage, which is another thousand kilometers round trip...
Then comes the actual engagement day, finding a wedding planning company, a hotel, and a photographer. There are so many miscellaneous things to take care of.
Also, I'm really amazed by their relatives. They said I didn't buy enough gold???
Her father didn't say anything, and her mother was quite satisfied. But those brainless relatives started complaining.
Damn it, do they know how expensive gold is now? In the past, you could buy over 100 grams for 40-50 thousand, but now even 70 grams is hard to come by. They still think it's not enough. What, do they want me to empty out Chow Tai Fook?
I really want to stab those brainless relatives. Each one is more disgusting than the other!
