Chapter 1073

Gu Hanyuan watched with satisfaction as the people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands bowed and departed.

The Imperial Palace guards, having completed their mission of witnessing Gu Hanyuan's might, also took away those who had been frightened out of their wits.

As for the mess in the square, there would naturally be people to clean it up later.

The once incredibly bustling palace gate suddenly fell silent.

Only the steed beneath Gu Hanyuan snorted from time to time, stimulated by the scent of blood.

Li Qiu had already fallen silent the moment she witnessed the "Ten Thousand Sword Art" kill thousands in a single stroke.

She lay in Gu Hanyuan's arms with watery eyes.

Her delicate body trembled slightly from time to time.

Compared to Wu Xingyun, who was stronger than herself,

Li Qiu was even more drawn to the strong.

When she first fell for Wu Yazi,

besides competing with Li Qiu,

another part of the reason was that Wu Yazi's talent was indeed extremely high.

While Wu Xingyun and Li Qiu were both single-mindedly studying martial arts,

Wu Yazi was also concurrently studying the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

And his level was even higher.

Even so, Wu Yazi's cultivation progress had not fallen behind.

Such a performance would naturally make the strength-admiring Li Qiu look up to him.

Yet Gu Hanyuan was refreshing Li Qiu's understanding of martial arts time and time again.

It was as if he were not of the same style as everyone else in the world.

Those various incredible moves could be called immortal arts without exaggeration.

Gu Hanyuan was so uniquely powerful;

how could Li Qiu not be moved by him?

In pursuit of aesthetic beauty,

the long dresses she wore were all made of silk that was both comfortable and beautiful.

Such clothing had one characteristic:

it was extremely thin and light.

It was fine when she was determined to resist,

but now that she relaxed her tension,

Li Qiu's eyes widened suddenly.

She tremblingly buried her head into Gu Hanyuan's chest.

Her orchid-like breath dampened his lapels.

Gu Hanyuan's expression at this moment was also somewhat strange.

He secretly took a deep breath.

Fortunately, Li Qiu was being carried horizontally by him,

rather than in a normal horse-riding posture.

However, even so,

Li Qiu was enduring it with great difficulty.

Actually, the people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands had misunderstood one thing.

Although the "Ten Thousand Sword Art" was ridiculously strong,

especially when clearing out fodder, it was as easy as mowing grass,

its biggest drawback was its high consumption.

Even with Gu Hanyuan's spiritual energy reserves,

he still felt the pinch.

Added to the fact that he had also unleashed the "Divine Sword Thunder-Controlling True Art" and the "Green Lotus Sword Canon" today,

Gu Hanyuan was even more eager to replenish his consumption.

He looked at Li Qiu in his arms,

and suddenly felt she seemed to be radiating the glow of a treasure,

attracting Gu Hanyuan's greed.

Therefore, he applied a slight force with his hand,

bringing Li Qiu's head out from his chest.

Seeing her watery, beautiful eyes filled with resentment,

he chuckled.

He pulled off the white silk veil she was wearing,

exposing that charming, flushed face to the air.

It was even more beautiful than Li Qingluo and Wang Yuyan.

Gu Hanyuan placed his hand upon it;

the astonishing temperature scorched his palm.

The moment Gu Hanyuan placed his palm upon her,

Li Qiu's eyes widened,

clenching her teeth,

and pressing her lips tightly together,

to avoid letting any shameful sounds escape.

It seemed that because her appearance had been restored,

the new skin seemed exceptionally thin and sensitive.

She was already enduring it with difficulty,

and being caressed like this by Gu Hanyuan,
