"For now, let’s handle the important business first."
"Hmm?"
Chen Mo snapped back to reality and looked up.
Only to see Ji Hongxiu’s Daoist robe sliding down, revealing skin as smooth as sheep fat jade, with a faint red glow emanating from the inner side of her left leg.
"The influence of the Dao Pattern has weakened. Once we get through this wave, it should be over, though who knows when it will flare up again next..."
She lay on the bed, leaning close to Chen Mo, her divine soul scorched by fire poison felt a cooling sensation, and she couldn’t help but let out a contented hum.
"I didn’t think the cost for Yu Youhan would be my own antidote?"
"Tsk tsk, fate really plays tricks... "
At this mont, Ji Hongxiu sensed sothing, lowered her gaze, and was slightly startled.
Her face flushed with a rosy tint, her eyes glistening with moisture, and she cast a glance at Chen Mo that was both reproachful and annoyed.
"You lecher, are you mistaking for Qingxuan?"
"..."
Chen Mo’s mouth twitched slightly.
This wasn’t sothing he could control either...
Besides, this woman was only wearing a dudou and was sticking so closely; what normal man could resist?
Suddenly, Chen Mo’s expression froze, looking at Ji Hongxiu with disbelief.
"Daoist Venerable?!"
"What are you..."
Ji Hongxiu’s lips curved up, her willow-leaf eyes alluring like silk, "Why so nervous? It’s not like it’s the first ti... Actually, I’ve been curious, what exactly have you done with Yu Youhan? Did you do the sa things with Qingxuan?"
Chen Mo’s breathing quickened, biting his teeth, he said, "Aren’t you the Tianshu Pavilion Daoist Venerable? This is rather inappropriate!"
Ji Hongxiu chuckled, "So what? If Yu Youhan can, why can’t I?"
Chen Mo: "..."
Why did that sound so familiar?
The Ji Hongxiu before him was just a split soul, even though she shared a body with her original self, she was infused with the three vices of obsession, greed, and lust, making her character vastly different from her true self.
In contrast to her original’s clear Dao Heart, full of integrity, her approach was more hedonistic, unrestrained.
And after discovering the ’secret’ between Chen Mo and Yu Youhan, she couldn’t help but feel excited, as if she had grasped her rival’s weakness, her grip subconsciously tightening a tad.
"Hiss—"
Chen Mo’s expression changed slightly.
Just then, a clear, cold voice erged from her mouth, "What are you doing! Let go imdiately!"
Quickly, the alluring voice resounded again, "When the Dao Pattern erupted, you hid away, and now that it’s about to pass, you’re coming out to fight for control? Humph, dream on!"
The clear, cold voice, both ashad and angry, said, "We’ll talk about this later, for now, let go, this is utterly disgraceful!"
The alluring voice said, "I refuse!"
"Let go!"
"No!"
"..."
With the two voices incessantly arguing, the fair, soft hand tugged back and forth...
Chen Mo’s face almost turned green, yet he couldn’t move, forced to grit his teeth and endure.
About half a stick of incense later.
Ji Hongxiu raised her hand and pointed to her brow, the alluring voice ceased instantly.
Her expression turned solemn, the blush on her face rapidly receded.
Although her appearance hadn’t changed, her aura had shifted drastically, as if she had beco a completely different person... Opposed to the previous allure and indolence, she now seed as unreachable as the moon in the sky.
She looked down, a trace of embarrassnt and disgust flickered in her eyes, and she withdrew her hand as if electrocuted.
"This is too much, doing such things to my body..."
Chen Mo was utterly perplexed, "What did I do?"
Ji Hongxiu said coldly, "I wasn’t talking to you."
Chen Mo: "..."
Ji Hongxiu sat up, and a white Daoist robe appeared out of thin air, covering her exquisite body.
She turned her head to glance at Chen Mo, her cold eyes held a trace of complexity.
"Forget it, ultimately it’s my own gain..." She lifted her jade-like fingers and pointed at Chen Mo’s brow.
Chen Mo’s eyes were montarily unfocused, as a vast flood of intricate information surged into his mind, within his spirit platform, it was a sky filled with clouds, brimming with enigmatic insights.
At the sa ti, a system prompt appeared before him:
[Acquired Divine Skill: Mystic Sect’s Heavenly Gang True Skill · Palm Thunder.]
[Acquired Divine Skill: Mystic Sect’s Heavenly Gang True Skill · Green Lotus Seed.]
?!
Chen Mo was stunned.
Even though he hadn’t fully comprehended them yet, he could clearly sense that the might of these two divine skills was absolutely on par with Heavenly Rank Martial Techniques!
He hadn’t even agreed to beco a disciple yet, isn’t this a bit too generous?
Forcing a sale?
Seeing through his thoughts, Ji Hongxiu shook her head, "Don’t worry, this ’Heavenly Gang True Skill’ was sothing I obtained accidentally during my training, it’s not part of the Tianshu Pavilion’s heritage, nor do I intend to take you as a disciple."
"Although prior happenings weren’t my intention, having benefited, I now return these two divine skills to you, so our cause and effect are settled and we owe each other nothing."
Chen Mo could see that the "Daoist Venerable" in front of him seed to want nothing to do with him.
He pondered for a mont and cautiously said, "So next ti, I shouldn’t have to accompany you to sleep, right?"
Ji Hongxiu turned away and said, "No need, this will be the last ti, such a situation will not happen again."
Although she spoke with certainty, Chen Mo detected a hint of guilt in her tone.
Chen Mo then asked, "And about Zhi’er and ..."
Ji Hongxiu’s eyes showed a flash of darkness as she coldly said, "As far as I know, you should have more than one girl around you, right? Qingxuan is naive and inexperienced in the world, easily deceived by sweet words. As her master, I have the duty to set her straight!"
Hearing this, Chen Mo was imdiately displeased.
The implication of her words was that she planned to break them apart?
By this ti, the ropes binding him were undone. He donned a black robe and, without a word, got up and walked towards the door.
Ji Hongxiu frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"
Chen Mo coldly huffed and said, "I’m going to tell Zhi’er about how you molested just now, and let her see what kind of a master you are!"
"..."
Ji Hongxiu’s eyelids twitched slightly. She cleared her throat and said, "After delaying for so long, it’s ti to send you back... Take care."
Chen Mo: ?
Before he could react, he saw Ji Hongxiu wave her hand. A dark crack in the void opened, and a powerful suction force pulled his entire body into it.
The atmosphere returned to silence.
Ji Hongxiu straightened her robe and walked out of the room.
Ling Ningzhi was pacing in the courtyard. When she saw her coming out, she quickly ca forward.
"Master, are you finished? Why didn’t I see Mr. Chen?" Ling Ningzhi craned her neck to look behind.
Ji Hongxiu, with an unchanged expression, said, "He had matters to attend to and left first."
Ling Ningzhi was slightly startled, "Left?"
Even if Chen Mo had to leave urgently, he would surely tell her first.
"Then I shall take my leave first..."
Ling Ningzhi was about to leave but was stopped by Ji Hongxiu, "You’ve been in Tiandu City for so long, it’s rare for you to be back. Stay and chat with ."
Ling Ningzhi blinked, "What does Master want to talk about?"
Ji Hongxiu sat on the stone chair, and a tea set suddenly appeared on the table before her. She gracefully held the teapot and started brewing tea, softly saying, "Let’s start with how you and Chen Mo t."
...
...
Tiandu City.
The streets were bustling and noisy, the cries of hawkers filled the air, and youthful children were playing and laughing.
Suddenly, a little girl pointed to the sky and said, "Look, a shooting star!"
"Nonsense, in broad daylight, how could there be a shooting star?"
"Eh, it actually does look like..."
"Wait, it seems like it’s heading towards us?!"
The crowd looked up to see a black dot approaching rapidly, tracing a graceful parabola and crashing towards the center of the street.
"Get out of the way!"
People scattered in all directions.
Boom—
A dull thud sounded, and the ground slightly trembled.
As the dust gradually settled, a black-robed man could be seen stuck head-first into the stone pavent, motionless, like a sculpture.
"That’s no shooting star; it’s a living person!"
"I must say, the posture is quite elegant, why isn’t he moving?"
"Falling from such a height, he probably didn’t survive, right?"
"..."
Chen Mo gritted his teeth.
That wicked woman threw him back, and on top of that, sealed his True Yuan!
If not for his robust physique, this fall would have surely ended badly!
The situation was a bit embarrassing now; the onlookers were too many, and revealing his face would definitely an being recognized, which would be quite disgraceful... It’s better to remain stuck like this and wait for his True Yuan to recover, then leave as quickly as possible...
While Chen Mo was contemplating, a fair-white hand stretched out from the void, grabbed his ankle, and pulled him out like a radish.
Soon after, it disappeared into the void.
The crowd looked at the remaining deep pit on the ground, montarily bewildered.
...
...
Frozen Sky Palace.
Yu Youhan threw Chen Mo to the ground and, seeing his disheveled appearance, narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a displeased tone:
"Why did you just get back, where have you been these past two days?"
"Empress!"
Chen Mo clung to her long legs and pitifully said, "My Ding Ding was almost uninstalled!"
Yu Youhan: "..."
