"Besides, it's quite normal for you to share a room with the city lord. Didn't the same thing happen to Immortal Lord Siyang and his disciple just now?"
Fu Mingxu glanced at the sky through the window sill, then thought of the rumors he had heard from Qi Muyuan and gave up the idea of going out.
Manager Liu glanced at the expressions of the two men and quietly withdrew.
"Go inside and rest." Han Tao's lowered eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Fu Mingxu frowned slightly and looked up at him: "And what about you?"
“You can meditate anywhere,” Han Tao said to the door he had just opened, his expression gentle and his voice surprisingly pleasant. “I’m right next door, so I can look after you if anything happens.”
Fu Mingxu pondered for a moment, then asked, puzzled, "You mean, someone will be coming tonight?"
The moon was bright and the stars were few; the evening breeze drifted through the empty windows, bringing a touch of chill.
Han Tao's gaze lingered on the ends of his hair that were ruffled by the wind, and his deep voice reassured him: "There should be some. I can protect you from next door."
He spoke as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, but Fu Mingxu, remembering his Dragon Soul, felt deeply that he could no longer make a move. After all, he couldn't obtain the Demon Life Flower ahead of time, and he had used up all the Yang Soul Pills he had previously used.
He casually asked, "Is the merman in danger tonight?"
Han Tao replied, "I had Liu Xin arrange for him to stay next to Si Yang Xianjun. With him and Qi Muyuan there, it will be fine."
Both Si Yang Immortal Lord and Qi Muyuan are at the Mahayana stage. If these two cannot protect a mermaid, then the only person behind this is the ancestor of the Tianxuan Sect.
Han Tao didn't tell him any of this, only saying, "There's a defensive formation set up in this room. No matter what you hear at night, don't come out. Leave the rest to us."
Fu Mingxu nodded, knowing that with his current cultivation level, coming out would only cause trouble and serve no great purpose.
"In that case, you should come in and rest too." He didn't look at the expression in the other person's golden eyes and said to himself, "I'll treat the injuries on your dragon soul first."
After saying that, he went into the room first.
If he were really allowed to stay in the next room for one night, Fu Mingxu felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.
Han Tao stood outside the door without moving at first, until he turned around and urged, "What are you still standing there for? Do you want to go stand there and freeze?"
Han Tao naturally didn't want to. He didn't want to be too far away from Fu Mingxu. This indescribable emotion tormented him constantly, making him want to get closer, but he restrained himself with reason.
So the two of them went into the room one after the other.
As soon as he entered, Fu Mingxu was enveloped in warmth and relaxed. He stared blankly at the space, which was twice the size of a regular guest room, and was completely stunned when his gaze swept over the huge bed at the far end.
Is this a normal guest room?
He had never seen such a large guest room, nor had he ever seen such a large bed in a guest room.
What a huge bed!
The bed was so large that it was like a replica of the bed in the master bedroom of the city lord's mansion, and even if Han Tao transformed into a half-dragon, he could easily roll around on it.
Thinking of this, Fu Mingxu felt his cheeks burning for some reason.
He glanced at Han Tao and saw him sitting properly at the table when he came in, his eyes fixed straight ahead, which made him feel ashamed.
He quickly composed himself and sat down opposite him at the round table.
"I have some pills here. Although they are not as effective as the Yangpo Pill, they can still be of some use to you." After saying that, he took out all the pills from his storage bag, lined them up on the table, and frowned as he picked and chose among them.
The importance of the Dragon Soul is self-evident, so the appropriate elixirs must be prepared with utmost care.
As he buried his head, Han Tao's gaze inadvertently fell on the bed, and he immediately looked away as if he had been burned. His expression remained unchanged, but his ears were burning as he suppressed the restlessness that came with his fantasies.
This Liu Xin is really something...
"Can you take these two pills at the same time and circulate your spiritual energy to bypass the demonic seed?" Fu Mingxu held out two white pills of different shades in his palm. "These are the Spring Eternity Pill and the Life-Giving Pill."
"The former is quite effective in treating injuries, while the latter can infuse your dragon soul with vitality. According to the physical constitution of the human race, it takes about an hour to absorb both pills at the same time."
"But you will need to avoid the demonic seed when you absorb it. I wonder if an hour will be enough?"
The outstretched palm was porcelain white and lustrous, and the two white pills seemed to have lost their original color under its touch.
Fu Mingxu raised his hand to signal him to extend his hand, and in the blink of an eye, two pills rolled into his palm.
The pills exuded a herbal fragrance, and Han Tao swallowed them right in front of him.
The two pills melted instantly upon entering the mouth, carrying the residual body heat as they entered the throat.
"Quickly circulate your spiritual energy." Fu Mingxu, seeing that he couldn't tell the situation from his expression, reminded him, "Remember to avoid the demonic seed."
He hadn't expected Han Tao to swallow the pills so quickly. Looking around, he couldn't find a suitable place to meditate, so he had to urge him, "Go meditate on the bed."
Han Tao frowned: "Then you should rest..."
"Why are you still thinking about these things now?" Seeing the faint golden dragon scales appearing at his temples, Fu Mingxu knew that the effect of absorbing these two pills at the same time on the dragon body was probably greater than he had imagined. He immediately disregarded everything else and said, "That bed is so big, there's enough room for both of us to sleep!"
As soon as he said it, he felt something was off.
But dragon scales had already appeared on Han Tao's temples, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his golden eyes were deep, and his voice was filled with pain: "I...I...my dragon tail...is about to come out..."
ha?
Fu Mingxu subconsciously looked at his legs, but unfortunately they were hidden under the black robe and could not be clearly seen.
As Han Tao rushed to the bed like the wind, a golden light appeared, and a golden dragon tail that seemed to contain great power appeared in front of him.
The old wounds on the dragon's tail have disappeared, and the healthy dragon scales gleam with a sharp, cold light.
Fu Mingxu was stunned on the ground, his gaze involuntarily traveling from the dragon's tail upwards.
Unlike the battered and bruised dragon tail before, the dragon tail in front of him was intact and clean. The entire dragon tail seemed to be the most perfect structure in the world, making people's hearts itch with desire.
The junction between the dragon's tail and its waist and abdomen has a unique light gold color, which gradually deepens as it moves downwards. There is a small, strange protrusion covered by dragon scales at roughly the lower abdomen.
Fu Mingxu's gaze lingered on that strange spot for a moment, then moved to the reverse scale above.
Hmm, the Reverse Scale isn't bleeding anymore. It seems the Yang Soul Pill is indeed working well.
The dragon's tail seemed to tremble slightly, and the light emanating from its scales was more dazzling than the daytime sun.
The dragon's tail seemed to have an endless magic power over Fu Mingxu, but as he continued to look, a black robe covered the reverse scale.
Fu Mingxu was taken aback. His gaze instinctively swept over the black shirt, then over the chest crisscrossed with scars, lingering on the hard jawline, before moving on to the well-defined muscles of his arms.
This is truly a body of immense power, a masterpiece of nature.
"Is it pretty?" a deep voice asked.
Immersed in the beauty, Fu Mingxu blankly replied, "Beautiful."
The words had barely left his mouth when he was suddenly startled. When he met a pair of golden eyes filled with a mocking smile, he realized what he had just done.
Oh my god!
He scrutinized Han Tao's half-dragon body inch by inch like a ravenous lustful demon. Without even looking in a mirror, he could guess how his eyes were shining and his cheeks were flushed.
An awkward atmosphere immediately enveloped him, as if someone was constantly reminding him in his ear: You watched it, you watched it with great interest, you're vulgar!
Fu Mingxu immediately lowered his head, not daring to look again, and turned to rush out the door.
"Stop!" Han Tao called out to him from behind. "You think you can just run away after seeing me naked?"
Fu Mingxu shuddered and instinctively retorted, "I didn't see anything!"
"Oh?" Han Tao asked, deliberately drawing out her words, "Then what didn't you look at?"
Fu Mingxu choked, his cheeks flushed red, and he stood there motionless.
The person behind him seemed to sigh, a hint of helplessness in their voice: "You've seen it, so shouldn't you come and see why I've become like this?"
Normally, the half-dragon form would only automatically appear when the injury was severe enough to affect its very foundation. Han Tao didn't know why, but by the time he realized it, the dragon tail had already uncontrollably emerged.
However, looking at Fu Mingxu, who dared not move not far away, he felt as if he had discovered something.
Fu Mingxu gritted his teeth, maintaining a straight gaze despite feeling guilty, but his peripheral vision kept glancing uncontrollably at the dragon's tail.
I'll take another quick look; he shouldn't notice, right?
Han Tao didn't point out his little tricks, but leaned against the side and watched him carefully walk over.
His dark hair cascaded down his chest, and a hint of a smile played in his golden eyes. As his dragon tail swayed gently, Fu Mingxu felt dizzy.
Han Tao in human form always had a stern face, but in his half-dragon form, he seemed to unleash the bestial nature of the dragon race, as well as the male's eagerness to show his love to his partner.
Fu Mingxu felt that Han Tao at this moment seemed to have an indescribable charm, like the embodiment of powerful strength, or like he had peeled off his cold shell to reveal the soft inner body.
In short, he liked it visually.
"Relax your mind." Fu Mingxu cursed his own lewdness while using chaotic energy to probe along the veins of his flesh.
Unlike the previous simple observations, this wisp of chaotic energy emanating from his dantian had truly entered his dragon soul.
For dragons, the Dragon Soul and the Reverse Scale are extremely important and secretive places.
However, both of her private parts had been seen and touched by Fu Mingxu.
The instant his divine sense and chaotic energy entered the dragon's soul, an extremely secret and unspeakable feeling made Han Tao involuntarily clutch the edge of the black robe covering his abdomen.
"It'll be ready soon." Fu Mingxu noticed the unusual flush on his face and assumed that his Dragon Soul was not feeling well.
Han Tao remained silent, fearing that opening his mouth would ruin his composure.
Fu Mingxu's investigation of the Dragon Soul was undoubtedly a catalyst for the hidden emotions in his heart. He began to regret that he could have told the story himself, but instead let Fu Mingxu investigate it personally.
But it was too late, because the chaotic energy had already entered the dragon's soul.
Out of the corner of Fu Mingxu's eye, the beautiful dragon tail trembled slightly, and the hand gripping the black shirt tightened. Han Tao seemed to be suffering great pain, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Almost there." Fu Mingxu found the residual power of the two pills. The chaotic energy patrolled around at maximum speed, and after obtaining the results, he extracted the chaotic energy as quickly as possible.
The moment the chaotic energy left, the pain seemed to vanish instantly. Han Tao let out a heavy breath, feeling like a fish out of water.
Just as Fu Mingxu was about to explain the situation, he smelled a faint and strange odor.
"What's that smell?" he asked curiously, his nostrils twitching slightly.
Unseen by him, Han Tao was horrified. He saw Han Tao frowning and sniffing around, and his entire dragon tail stiffened.
Just before Fu Mingxu could smell the source of the scent, he quickly regained his composure and said in a hoarse voice, "Mingxu, I need to get dressed. Can you turn around?"
At this moment, his voice was hoarse, and when he uttered his name, it seemed to contain boundless ambiguity and tenderness.
Fu Mingxu felt a little hot on his cheeks for some reason, so he quickly turned around and deliberately walked a little further away.
"Just now, the self-protection mechanism of your dragon soul was activated when the medicinal properties of the two pills were most strongly combined. Don't worry, with the speed at which your flesh and blood absorb the medicinal properties, your dragon soul will be temporarily repaired. Just be careful to avoid demonic energy next time you circulate your spiritual energy."
He was unaware that for someone who had always cultivated with spiritual energy, avoiding the demonic seed while using spiritual energy was simply a pipe dream.
