Chapter 407 Reaching the Peak on the First Body Tempering?

Two days later, in the middle of the night.

Gu Qingyue was fast asleep when Mu Yunchu jumped through the window.

She originally wanted to beat up the guy who broke into her room at night, but unexpectedly, Mu Yun Chu brought a shocking piece of news!

Princess Qing'an and several sons of Prince An died suddenly in the Imperial Clan Court!

"Princess Qing'an...is dead?"

Gu Qingyue couldn't suppress her surprise.

She never expected that the arrogant and domineering woman would be gone just like that.

"Well, according to the guards, they were kept in separate guards, but strangely, they both died at the same time, vomiting blood, without any warning."

Mu Yun Chu sat at the table, looking at the prescription given to her by Gu Qing Yue again and again, finding it quite novel.

Because the prescription says "Body Tempering Formula".

"Did your father send anyone to investigate?"

Gu Qingyue sat down opposite him and asked curiously, "I'm sure he's been poisoned."

Mu Yun Chu raised an eyebrow. "Of course we'll investigate, but it won't be of much use."

Gu Qingyue thought about it and realized that made sense.

With everyone gone, the old emperor, who wanted to control Prince An, can only watch helplessly without a hostage. It is said that a large number of Shenlong Guards have been dispatched out of the capital.

Mu Yun Chu sent some clues to the Divine Dragon Guards, estimating that the real Prince An might be under pursuit at this moment.

As for whether she succeeded in winning him over, Gu Qingyue wasn't concerned about that for the time being.

She had more important things to do.

The Nanzhao delegation will soon be leaving the capital, which also means that Mu Yun Chu will be leaving the capital.

"What does this body tempering formula mean?"

Mu Yun Chu asked curiously, and looked at the prescription again. He found that he had never heard of several of the herbs.

This prescription was given to him by Gu Qingyue as soon as he came in.

He was still in a daze.

"Oh, you mean this prescription? This is what I prepared for you. You can also have your bodyguards use it. It will work wonders!" Gu Qingyue deliberately lowered her voice mysteriously.

Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but affectionately pinch her little face, "How do you use this? What is it for?"

When Gu Qingyue raised her chin and praised the uniqueness of her body tempering method, Mu Yun Chu was astonished!

Does such a thing really exist in this world?

It was amazing! Only now did he understand why the young men under Gu Qingyue's command had become experts in just a few short years!

He couldn't help but pull Gu Qingyue into his arms, squeezing her small hand, his heart melting with tenderness.

"Ah Yue, this is your secret recipe, you should keep it safe for yourself, why are you giving it to me?"

His tone was indescribably gentle.

"Of course I hope you become a peerless master to protect me," Gu Qingyue said with a sly smile.

When Mu Yun Chu saw Gu Qing Yue like this, the tenderness deep in his heart became even clearer. How could he not love such a woman?

Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but lower his head and cover her moist lips with his own. After a moment of hesitation, he felt tenderness, gratitude, and an uncontrollable, surging love in his heart.

Suddenly, Gu Qingyue raised her hand and pushed his face away. "You're going to Nanzhao, it's very dangerous! Now you're going to do the first body tempering? Right, how come I didn't think of that?"

Gu Qingyue originally gave the body tempering formula to Mu Yunchu, thinking that she would give him the medicinal herbs when he left. But now she suddenly realized that she couldn't leave him alone while he was tempering his body.

She was worried!

Perfect timing, right now!

Mu Yun Chu was both amused and exasperated by her impulsive nature. She rubbed her forehead but still obediently underwent her first body tempering.

So, for the next two hours, Mu Yun Chu tempered her body inside the room, while Gu Qing Yue sat at the round table outside, watching the stars and the moon.

As the night deepened, the two, one inside and one outside, were separated by a wall, yet their hearts drew ever closer.

"How is it?" Gu Qingyue's eyes lit up when Mu Yun Chu came out wearing a loose robe.

Mu Yun Chu looked at Gu Qing Yue's small face, smiled slightly, and took her hand to enter the house.

Once inside the room, he pressed Gu Qingyue down to sit on the edge of the bed before raising his hand to grasp at the void.

The next instant, a force as tangible as energy rose from the ground, forming a vortex in Mu Yun Chu's palm, spinning rapidly.

Gu Qingyue: Stunned! Stunned again!

The last time I saw Master manifest his internal energy was when he did so!

She's about to swear!

Just what kind of extraordinary martial arts genius is Mu Yun Chu?

He reached the peak on his first body tempering attempt?

"You! You! What the hell are you?" Gu Qingyue blurted out, her eyes wide like a frightened kitten.

"Heh------", Mu Yun Chu couldn't help but chuckle softly upon hearing this.

The next instant, Mu Yun Chu pounced on her, and before Gu Qing Yue could react, she was pushed down onto the bed, her body pressing against hers…

He moved so fast that Gu Qingyue only blinked once before feeling a sudden chill followed by a surge of heat...

Gu Qingyue: ......

The night was alluring, and the bed curtains were even more so.

Outside the window, the crescent moon peeks through the clouds, and the courtyard is filled with the chirping of insects and the fragrance of flowers and grass. What an alluring night scene!

Much later, Gu Qingyue began to regret it so much she wanted to punch the wall! But she didn't have the strength left.

What's gotten into her? Why is she giving this hungry wolf a body tempering treatment?!

"Do you want to get beaten up?" Gu Qingyue asked breathlessly.

"Hehe------A-Yue treats me so well, how can I let her down?"

Mu Yun Chu's husky voice lingered in Gu Qing Yue's ears, and her whole body began to go limp again. This guy is so good at flirting!

"You, you dare to bully me!" Gu Qingyue wanted to turn on him.

Mu Yun Chu rolled over and lay down, then pulled Gu Qing Yue, who was trying to run away, into her arms, stroking her slender back. "How dare you? My queen!"

Gu Qingyue blushed; this guy still remembered his teasing remarks from last time!

“Then you…” Gu Qingyue glared at him.

"I'm so happy, and I want you to be happy too," Mu Yun Chu said, squeezing her small hand in an ambiguous tone.

I'm going to go numb! This guy's actually a repressed pervert!

Fine, Gu Qingyue was too lazy to argue with him. Thinking of his body tempering results just now, she was extremely curious, "How did you manage to transform your internal energy into physical form after only one body tempering session?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yun Chu raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly pleased.

"My internal energy has been stuck at the eighth level for a long time. Our sect's internal energy progresses very quickly in the early stages, but it is very difficult to advance to the next level in the later stages. I am so grateful for A-Yue's medicine!"

He paused, then turned to look into Gu Qingyue's eyes, "Now that I've broken through to the ninth level, I can be considered to have reached the Grandmaster level."

"Grandmaster? That's amazing!" Gu Qingyue's voice rose eight octaves.

She has only just entered the seventh level without the Xuanling, and she has already worked very hard. How can someone who has tempered her body twice bear this?

She remembered that when she first started practicing the Wuxuan Token, her master told her that only when she reached the ninth level would she be considered to have achieved some success and be considered a top expert in the martial arts world. People in the martial arts world call experts at that level "Grandmasters".

At that time, she had only just entered the first level, so the so-called grandmasters were like the sky above her, the gap between them was too vast.
