Love at First Sight (continued)

From a normal person's perspective, it is indeed necessary to have guidance from elders when first starting out to avoid going astray. Although practicing external martial arts is not as dangerous as Internal Cultivation martial arts, and the possibility of Qi Deviation is not high, it is still related to the body. If you get the posture wrong, it is not impossible to develop cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation or something similar.

The other party meant well, so after a moment's consideration, Si Ming nodded in agreement.

So Si Jingyu walked behind Si Ming, placed her palm on his back, and said, "Let's begin."

Si Ming began to circulate his internal energy, and his muscles, blood, internal organs and other organs began to move in an orderly manner according to the body-refining chapter of the "Water Moon Precious Mirror". This static method of cultivation is naturally less effective than the dynamic method, but it is more convenient and avoids the need for the supervisor to move around.

However, Si Jingyu was clearly distracted, or rather, she wasn't focusing her attention on listening. Her gaze started from Si Ming's neck and slowly moved down, her cheeks gradually flushing red. She seemed a little dazed, lost in thought.

Fifteen minutes later, Si Ming, "It has completed one cycle. Is it ready now?"

"Your physical abilities are too strong; it's hard to hear the flow of energy. Try it again."

Is it okay now?

"You've practiced other Body Refining Cultivation Method before, haven't you? The two are interfering with each other. Let's try again."

"This is the fifth time already, surely it'll be fine this time?"

"I understood the general idea, but I was slightly unclear on some details. To be on the safe side, let's hear it again."

"This is the ninth time already, are you going to do it again?"

Si Ming was exasperated and decided that if the other party asked him to do it again, he would leave immediately, no matter what the reason.

However, there was silence behind him.

He turned his head and saw that the other person had already left, so he scratched his head.

"What the hell? This is so bizarre!"

Si Jingyu strode back to her room like a gust of wind, slamming the door shut. Then, she held her burning face in one hand and touched her heaving chest with the other.

"How could this be? My heart is beating so fast, even though I only touched it with my palm..."

"What happened, young lady?"

A worried voice came from outside Si Shuiyun door; after all, she had never seen her young mistress so out of control.

Si Jingyu didn't want anyone to see her like this, so while using her internal energy to suppress her turbulent emotions, she said through the door, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

"Are you really alright? Should I go and fetch the village doctor?"

"No need. I just had a sudden inspiration, and my Cultivation Body have made a breakthrough, so I'm in a hurry to solidify my Foundation."

"I see. Then I'll protect you from outside, Miss. You can focus on your cultivation and regulate your breathing."

"... Shuiyun, let me ask you a question. If a man's heart races at the sight of a woman's face, and he blushes at the slightest touch, what could be the reason?"

"She's definitely in heat!"

Si Shuiyun, standing outside the door, said with certainty, "This man is definitely a perverted horny monster. We must stay far away from him, or stab him the moment we see him. Otherwise, this kind of person will commit a crime sooner or later, like taking advantage of a woman's pressure points to pretend to be her lover and have sex with her. He's despicable, shameless, and a vile scumbag!"

Remembering the other person's peculiarities, Si Jingyu had no choice but to change her question, asking, "What if it were a woman with a man, and the same thing happened?"

"An illusion! A spell! I've been drugged!"

"Anything else?"

"... There's a very small chance, it's probably just love." Si Shuiyun's weak voice came from the outer gate. "Humans are emotional beings. When people spend a lot of time together, they can be influenced by their reproductive instincts and develop an illusion called 'love' towards the opposite sex. This is a poison that lowers one's intelligence, so be very careful."

Si Jingyu didn't listen carefully to what was coming next and pressed on, "What if the two people have only just met and don't even know each other very well?"

"That's probably what they call love at first sight. Although it's a low-probability event, it does happen. After all, the world is full of wonders. And this condition is worse than being in love. It can even cause you to lose your personality, your normal mind, and your rationality, leading you to do things that you would never normally do."

"Love at first sight..." Si Jingyu murmured softly, her voice filled with disbelief, "So I can actually have such feelings. I thought I was destined to be forever without love."

Si Shuiyun, standing outside the door, was initially puzzled, wondering why her mistress would suddenly ask such a question. Then, a possibility surfaced in her mind, and a look of horror gradually appeared on her face.

She whirled around, pounding on the door and shouting, "Young Miss, who is that person? No, who is that poisonous insect? I'm going to kill him! I'm going to die with him!"

Si Jingyu quickly explained, "It has nothing to do with me, don't overthink it."

At this point, Si Shuiyun was utterly unconvinced. "Miss, what I just said was all made up! Love, love at first sight—it's all fabricated by others. The racing heart and flushed face were just my Cultivation Body malfunctioning; all those reactions were illusions. Please don't believe them!"

"Alright, alright, stop shouting so loudly, it'll be terrible if my mother hears you."

"Young Miss, listen to me! In the Barbarian Frontier, there's a kind of 'Infatuation Gu, once implanted, can make the target fall head over heels in love with the one who implanted it, believing they've fallen for the other person. But it's all the work of the gu worm! Don't worry, I'm going to find a doctor who understands gu magic. Hang in there, don't give up on treatment!"

"Young Miss, please believe me! Everything I said is true, you have to believe me!"

"Damn it! Who is this pest? Don't let me find you, or I'll tear you to pieces and grind your bones to dust!"

Achoo!

Si Ming rubbed his nose, wondering if he had caught a chill from practicing his internal energy outdoors for too long.

Si Huaruo asked with concern, "Are you alright? Did you catch a cold?"
