After their night of passion, the Lunar Goddess ached all over. She could not lift a finger and lay limp as water in Zhang Qingxuan's arms.
When she saw his hand wandering again, she immediately panicked. Fear flashed through her eyes. "W-what are you doing?!"
Zhang Qingxuan shook his head, his voice calm. "Trouble has come knocking at home."
The Lunar Goddess's eyes dimmed. She bit her lip, her feelings in turmoil. Is he leaving?
But the next moment, Zhang Qingxuan scooped her up in his arms.
Startled, she instinctively clutched his robe. "Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?!"
Zhang Qingxuan smiled down at her. "You're weak. Go recuperate inside the Taiji Diagram first."
Before she could react, he willed the Taiji Diagram to open a doorway and drew her inside.
Yin-Yang Qi swirled through the space within the Taiji Diagram, where spiritual energy was so dense it had turned to liquid. It was perfect for her recovery.
The Lunar Goddess managed only to say, "You bastard," before the gentle Yin-Yang Force enveloped her and she fell into a deep sleep.
Celestial Master Mansion, quiet chamber.
Zhang Qingyang's expression was grave. The Celestial Master Seal hovered above Qian Xunji's head, while the Celestial Master Sword hung before Bibi Dong. He wielded both divine artifacts to suppress the divine power within them.
Seated on a meditation cushion, Qian Xunji had cold sweat streaming down his forehead. He stared fixedly at Zhang Qingyang. "Celestial Master, you're saying there's divine power inside me too? And it's stronger than the power inside Dong'er?"
Zhang Qingyang nodded with a rueful smile. "Yes. It's rooted deep in your soul. If not for Master's Talisman Paper, I wouldn't have found it either."
He paused, his voice growing heavier. "More importantly, this divine power intensifies lust."
