The Nine Heavens Maiden and the Art of the Bedchamber / Fu Hua, the Old Pro
Ten years have passed, but this old friend is as charming as ever. Moreover, due to the reorganization of [Schicksal], he cannot do without the appeal and leadership of [Saintess].
Cecilia's every move gradually revealed an air of the Ascended, making her appear even more noble and aloof.
"There's something I feel I need to tell you privately..."
Cecilia's radiant smile softened her the Ascended demeanor, and her sincerity brought them closer together.
"It's related to Fu Hua? And we need to do it while she's away?"
Kevin frowned slightly, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table. He was always a very perceptive person, and he immediately grasped the crux of the problem.
Cecilia nodded slightly, took out a sealed metal box from behind her, and opened it. Inside, a three-inch bronze sword exuded a delicate yet weathered beauty.
"This is..."
"I just happened to receive a call from the communication tool that Mount Tai Xu used to invite various forces to participate in consultations and exchanges..."
Cecilia paused, then sighed softly.
"In Shenzhou, it represents an ancient, lost communication technology called Flying Sword Message..."
"And Oldest One, the person who created it called this information-containing carrier the 'Tai Xu Sword Talisman'..."
"Legend has it that this is a closely guarded secret passed down from the Immortal Vermillion Bird..."
Kevin suddenly stood up, his eyes sharp as knives, and as he drew the three-inch sword to his fingertips and played with it, his smile was cold and stern.
"The Tai Xu Seven Swords... So that's how it is!"
P. S.: This organic combination of mythology and Chinese legends—if I didn't take down those bastards and save Himeko, could I really call myself a true fan of Afu?

Chapter 590, Section 619: The Nine Heavens Xuannü and the Art of the Bedchamber
In the afternoon, the girls who had ultimately failed to persuade Murata Himeko to leave the mountain became anxious as the school bell rang.
"Hey, you guys look pretty good. Come with me to the combat training ground."
A combat training ground? Wait, wasn't this afternoon history class? The girls looked at each other in confusion.
Kevin seemed to notice the girls' confusion and responded with a smile.
"Your History Teacher is not feeling well and has requested leave. Today's lesson will be a practical training session instead."
The man, who had been tormented countless times by similar excuses before midterms and finals, smiled slightly, a bright smile playing on his lips.
"Damn it! You're just History Teacher?! Could your excuse be any worse?" The students in the classroom groaned in despair, and the whole sky seemed to darken.
But under Kevin's tyranny, the girls had no choice but to pitifully gather at the combat training ground, each one looking like a prisoner being tortured, their brows furrowed in worry.
"Today's practical training session is divided into two parts. The first part involves forming your own Valkyrie squads according to the team composition assigned upon enrollment, and learning small-scale team combat..."
"Secondly, St. Freya Academy, [World Tree] Game Company, and the Anti-Entropy Research Group jointly developed a new thing called [Memory Battlefield]..."
"By inputting and adjusting parameters, and utilizing optical projection, virtual reality technology, and energy magnetic fields, we can materialize historically famous Honkai Beast, or recreate parts of the Honkai and battlefields of Honkai cataclysms..."
"Come, experience the charm of technology, and relive history in real combat, everyone."
"I heard someone has done a lot of research on the Second Honkai, so they chose the Honkai Beast named Demon Dragon Benares, which is probably about one-third the level of the original form. We'll just have to wait and see how it goes..."
Kevin grinned in Kiana's direction, revealing eight perfectly aligned teeth, instantly causing the Scandinavian young lady to pale and swallow hard.
"I'm an expert in large-scale strategic planning, but small-scale tactical deployment isn't my forte. Therefore, I've specially invited a mentor to test everyone's teamwork skills..."
The man paused, then spoke frankly, snapping his fingers. Lei Ting, with her neat pink short hair, arm shield in hand, and gun and Gunblade at her waist, walked slowly forward.
As the commander of the Imperial Army, and with her keen battlefield instincts, she is the most suitable person to personally train the girls of the St. Freya Academy.
After all, actual battlefield guidance inevitably involves physical contact. He's extremely busy right now, so it's best to avoid anything that might cause suspicion. It's better to leave these matters to the professionals.
"It's a promise, I'll help you with this, you'll have drinks with me tonight..."
As the two passed each other, the Thunder reiterated their price tag, Kevin gestured that he understood, and walked away.
Phew! That devil is finally gone, replaced by a pretty older sister, not bad...
The girls breathed a sigh of relief, clenched their fists excitedly, and were just about to cheer for their freedom when the figure returned, his smile carrying an indescribable sinister quality.
"Oh, and from now on, you're not allowed to tattle on me, and you're definitely not allowed to slander me behind my back..."
"I'm a very petty person..."
Kevin's reappearance caused the curses that were about to rise in the girls' throats to catch in their throats. Like startled quails, they shrank back and nodded hastily, like chicks pecking at rice.
"I almost forgot, pets are not allowed during class. I'll take care of you for now, come find me after school tonight..."
The man strolled leisurely to the little girl, Sirin, and with a smile, took the wing of the Little Lizard from her shoulder, fiddling with it as he walked away.
Seeing his sister being bullied, K423 glared angrily and was about to snatch the item when Sirin grabbed him and whispered something to calm him down.
"You bad guy!"
The girl with the white ponytail grew increasingly surprised as she listened, and finally reluctantly let go, muttering curses under her breath as Kevin walked away.
"Class time is now!"
Seeing the girls lined up in a disorganized, chaotic manner, Lei Ting's eyes flashed with a mixture of displeasure and seriousness.
This Imperial Army Commander has extensive experience in large-scale and small-scale group operations, but she is even more famous for her strictness and meticulousness. She is a mature Mature Woman is more like a soldier than Murata Himeko.
In short, life isn't going to be easy for these young girls either.
Meanwhile, in the principal's office, Kevin, who was skipping work, poured the beef jerky he bought from the store into a dish and pushed it in front of Bella, the little dragon.
After clapping his hands, the man moved quietly to the left of the desk and patiently prepared ink for Fu Hua, who was writing furiously.
"Before the Upper Clarity Purple Dawn Void Sovereign, the Supreme Great Dao Jade Morning Lord, dwelling in seclusion, composed seven-character verses, scattering them into five forms and transforming them into myriad spirits. This is the Inner Chapter of the Yellow Court, where the Threefold Zither Heart, the Fetal Immortal, the Nine Energies shining brightly from the Heavenly Realm, the Divine Canopy Boy Purple Smoke..."
"The Inner Scripture of the Yellow Court of Supreme Purity?" Kevin murmured to himself. After grinding the ink, he stepped aside and watched from a distance. The beauty of that ink painting was pleasing to the eye.
Fu Hua silently recited the poem with furrowed brows, his brush moved like dragons and snakes, the characters falling onto the paper like dragons leaping through the heavenly gates and tigers crouching in the phoenix palace. They possessed the essence and spirit of a human, contained the spirituality of mountains, rivers, plants, and trees, and were connected to the nature of the universe above and captured the imagery of all things below. Nothing could be more perfect than this.
But as the brushstrokes became more and more aggressive, Fu Hua wrote with increasing haste. The first chapter was written in running script, but the second chapter, after the paper was changed, turned into wild cursive script, as if he had some feelings and thoughts in his heart that he was eager to express.
However, the hazy memories in her mind Fairy Fu Hua to the brink of madness. She still couldn't see through the fog in her mind. In the end, she exerted force through the paper, but carelessly pulled back her wrist, and the purple hairpin broke.
The girl was drenched in sweat and her face was pale. The girl in bright yellow royal robes, her confidante in red makeup, her old friend in cross-colored clothes, and the battlefield rose as beautiful as fire—one blurry and fragmented figure after another flashed through her mind.
"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it... I'm here..."
Seeing that Fu Hua was not in a good mood, Kevin gently took the broken pen from his old friend's hand, pulled her into his arms, and whispered comforting words close to the girl's ear.
Pah! What a jerk!
The little female dragon on the table spat the beef strip that was getting stuck in her teeth into the trash can. Her snake-like vertical pupils revealed a hint of human-like disdain, whether it was a comment on the food or a sarcastic remark about someone, it was hard to tell.
After a long while, Fu Hua's breathing stabilized. She glanced back at Kevin and then whispered softly.
"Now, can you let me go?"
Kevin chuckled awkwardly, released his grip, and stepped back, maintaining a safe distance. His eyes darted around, and he glanced at the large smudge on the Xuan paper, using it as an excuse to change the subject.
"You finished writing the 5000-word Tao Te Ching yesterday? Why did you switch to the Yellow Court Scripture? Is this for health preservation?"
Fu Hua flicked her sleeve to press down the paperweight, opened the bedroom door, and called out to Kevin softly.
"Come in with me..."
Kevin's gaze turned strange and his mouth went dry as he recalled a certain legendary anecdote.
Legend has it that, in addition to teaching Ji Lin the Six Ding and Six Jia and the methods of arranging troops and formations, the Mysterious Maiden also taught her the principles of Yin and Yang harmony, and the principles of rising and falling.
In layman's terms, it's the Art of the Bedchamber...
P. S.: There will be two more updates at midnight, currently working on them.
Recommendation: <I Became SCP-682>, an SCP novel. I recommend checking it out if you're interested; it features classic horror elements.
"This is the future, it is hope, it is power, and it is freedom..."
"..."
"Forgive Dad, live on, and struggle to survive in this cruel world, for our part too..."
That day, I became SCP-682.
The CC license will be attached to the document.

Chapter 591, Section 620: Old Driver Fu Hua
The * Xuan Nü Scripture * states. "The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, obtained the art of sexual intercourse from the Xuan Nu. By holding the fist and inhaling, he could replenish his essence and nourish his brain, thus achieving longevity..."
At Fu Hua's prompting, Kevin carefully closed the door, his heart pounding with emotion as he recalled the opening lines of a certain erotic novel, almost bursting into tears.
"Take off your shoes and socks, lie down on the bed..."
The man sat down nervously on Fu Hua's bed, his hands trembling as he untied his shoelaces. His ice queen had finally awakened her own old-school female warrior spirit!
So all the hard work I've put into studying classics like the * Xuan Nü Scripture *, *Su Nü Scripture Jade Chamber Secret, * Jade Chamber Essentials *, Yu Fang Zhi Yao, and * Dong Xuan Zi * these past few days has finally come in handy.
A moment later, Kevin, harboring thoughts of infidelity, lay naked on the bed, his face a complex mix of despair and unbearable sorrow.
"Lustful Fire is excessive, sexual intercourse becomes easy. I will use acupuncture to help regulate your meridians and then prescribe some formulas to calm the qi and clear the fire..."
As Fu Hua softly chanted, she sat down in front of the bed, and with a flick of her sleeve, the silver needles of varying lengths on Kevin's acupoints vibrated and hummed, sending a tingling, numb sensation through his limbs and bones.
Holy crap, why is it supposed to be an old Chinese medicine doctor?! This car is wrong! This is so deceiving!
At this moment, the patient, riddled with needles, gazed with resentment, his beautiful dreams shattered.
"Easy to perform sexually," is being considered capable a mistake? Kevin was both amused and exasperated. He took a deep breath and prepared to fight for his happiness one more time.
"Hua, I'm terrified of injections and medicine. Is there a quick and easy way to get results?"
With so many flowers at home needing watering and care, why give them medicine? Just be straightforward, it's better to guide them than to block them. I can handle it!
Fu Hua pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded under Kevin's expectant gaze, her eyes somewhat distant and lost.
"It seems I remember a method that would be very suitable for you right now."
The girl's skirt sash came undone, her silk robe slipped off, revealing a flowing Cloud Ink Dan Heart on her waist. She stretched out her slender hand as if to welcome her.
It's coming! It's coming! Kevin sat up straight, his hands held by Fu Hua. He suddenly felt his mouth go dry, his heart race, and even the air was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
"The Great Dao is Formless, yet it gives birth to heaven and earth; the Great Dao is Unfeeling, yet it governs the sun and moon; the Great Dao is Nameless, yet it nurtures all things; I do not know its name, so I call it Dao..."
"The Dao is this: it has purity and turbidity, movement and stillness; heaven is pure, earth is turbid; heaven moves, earth is still. Man is pure, woman is turbid; man moves, woman is still. From the root to the branches, all things are born. Purity is the source of turbidity, movement is the foundation of stillness. If man can always be pure and still, heaven and earth will all return to their source..."
However, like the clear sound of a morning bell and evening drum, Kevin, who was eagerly anticipating a live-fire training session, twitched his facial muscles slightly.
"What...?"
"Yin and Yang give rise to each other, and the pure and the turbid naturally separate. Strengthen your foundation and guard your true nature; you will always remain pure and tranquil—this is the essence of the * Scripture of Purity and Tranquility and Tranquility Sutra*. It's very relevant; don't get distracted."
Fu Hua responded calmly, then gently closed her eyes. These techniques came from the fragmented memories of the Immortal Vermillion Bird. Besides calming the mind and concentrating the spirit, they also had many wonderful uses such as breathing exercises, circulating Yin and Yang, and controlling the power of the Five Elements.
Kevin's lips trembled, his eyes filled with grief and indignation.
"I mean, is there any other way, the kind you taught Ji Lin, the one with the yellow clothes..."
Due to contact with someone and the frequent visits of the Human God - Alaya, her memories began to show signs of revival, but they were all very ancient.
"Yellow clothes? She seems to have learned this too, is there a problem...?"
Fu Hua slowly withdrew her hand, her gaze somewhat puzzled.
"It works? Are you sure?"
