Want to pluck a star?

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

These words were Qin Yi's true feelings, but unexpectedly, they drew the atmosphere into an ambiguous state.

If he doesn't want you to be so far away, doesn't that subtly mean he wants to get closer to you? Minghe suddenly felt her heart racing. What did he mean...?

In the dimly lit passage, a man and a woman stood facing each other, silently gazing at one another, each able to feel the other's somewhat disordered breathing.

Minghe was in a state of confusion, while Qin Yi was once again touched by the feeling of being within reach of the stunning beauty in the dark room.

Both of them were usually cultivating with long, deep breaths, but now they were both in a state of chaos and disorder.

Qin Yi involuntarily reached out and deflected her sword.

Without any effort, the sword slowly moved away from his hand.

Qin Yi moved a little closer.

Minghe took a step back.

Qin Yi was leaning against the wall, but in an instant it became Minghe leaning against the wall, with Qin Yi standing in front of her, looking down at her.

She had just untied her Daoist robe and then hurriedly fastened it back on, leaving her clothes disheveled and somewhat loose, with large sections of her inner garment exposed. Her chest was heaving rapidly, and from Qin Yi's current angle, she looked incredibly alluring and breathtakingly beautiful.

Minghe looked up at his lustful eyes, her expression finally calming down, and slowly said, "This humble Daoist is a nun."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Our Celestial Pivot Divine Palace cultivates the way of Heaven, responding to the Milky Way and sensing the secrets of Heaven. We are free from the burdens of the mortal world and seek the profound mysteries of the Supreme the Unseen. Mortals naturally regard it as distant, which is the norm of this path." Minghe slowly said, "Fellow Daoist, our previous encounter was merely a matter of expediency in response to the enemy and has not affected my heart. If you think that you can treat me with disrespect afterward, then you are underestimating me too much."

Qin Yi pursed his lips, and the desire slowly subsided.

He knew that his mindset was wrong.

The previous hugs and embraces made him feel that "we've already hugged each other," and that they were already very close. Looking at her stunning beauty, he couldn't help but have some impure thoughts.

Perhaps Minghe herself had gotten used to it and didn't really resist his closeness.

But in reality... that's completely different from being moved or having feelings for someone. Neither Minghe nor he himself. Especially if Minghe's cultivation could be truly moved by just a few moments, that would be truly unbelievable.

Then Minghe continued, "The entanglements of the mortal world, the affairs of men and women, are in my Dao Heart just dust to be swept away at any time. Fellow Daoist, you don't need to think about them. Li Qingjun is still waiting for you in Southern Li. Don't let me look down on you."

Qin Yi said helplessly, "What are you talking about?"

Minghe seemed to have completely recovered his composure, as if nothing had happened, and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, you came to the pool to find me. Is there something you need?"

Qin Yi said irritably, "Aren't you going to say I came here to spy on you?"

Minghe remained expressionless. "Hard to say. I've only just realized that you're actually quite lecherous... but you're just able to keep your bottom line."

"What man isn't lustful? I'm a normal man. You're so beautiful, anyone who doesn't have any feelings for you is a eunuch! As long as you can keep your bottom line, what's the big deal?"

Minghe said calmly, "That's because your cultivation is insufficient and you haven't seen through it yet. I would like to offer a word of advice: if you continue to be so blinded by lust, your inner demons will arise one after another in your cultivation, which will be detrimental to your path."

"I have no intention of cultivating myself into a eunuch. If that's really so Sand Sculpture, I might as well not try to achieve immortality at all."

"..."

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. I came to see you to check on your injury and see if you needed any medicine."

Minghe's expression shifted slightly, and her voice softened. "Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist. I am now fine."

"Also, I've already taken what the senior left behind here, so don't say I didn't share it with you."

Minghe said calmly, "This humble Daoist does not accept such a thing; please accept it, fellow Daoist."

"But this might be useful to you." Qin Yi took out a book scroll and handed it over.

Although the ring was empty, it contained more than just Spirit Stone; there were also various other items, such as the cultivator's own legacy, which was recorded there.

Minghe took the book and flipped through it. The book had no title and was mostly a record of the cultivator's own insights. The beginning was about cultivation Principle, while the later part was mostly about divination and predicting the future. Perhaps after his lover's death, his mindset changed and the focus of his cultivation shifted.

Qin Yi certainly didn't want this. He had Liusu for the first half of his cultivation, so he didn't need anything else; he was also uninterested in the second half of divination because of Liusu's influence. On the contrary, Minghe was also the type who "senses the secrets of heaven," so it would be of reference value to her.

Minghe flipped through it for a while, and didn't stand on ceremony with Qin Yi: "It is indeed worth studying, then I will accept it."

After saying this, the two seemed to fall into an awkward silence. Qin Yi shook his head and went back to the tomb to cultivate. Minghe watched his back as he left, gently biting her lower lip, and slowly turned back to the pool.

As soon as Qin Yi returned to the tomb, he picked up the Wolf Tooth Club and shook it violently, gripping the handle tightly. "You damn club, you tricked me!"

"You're choking me? That's not my neck! Are you an idiot?"

"..."

"It's your own stupidity," Liusu said disdainfully. "Believe it or not, if you had kissed her just now, she might have half-heartedly resisted, and it might have actually happened?"

Qin Yi scratched his head. "No way, she has a firm belief in the Dao Heart."

"It has nothing to do with that, it's just that you lack the skills. If it were a seasoned womanizer, she would have succeeded long ago." Liusu continued to sneer, "You call yourself a cultivator of the Heavenly Dao and a follower of the Milky Way? If you were so inclined, you could try to pluck this star from the sky and keep it as a treasure."

"Plucking stars...?" Qin Yi pondered for a moment, lost in thought. "Wouldn't that ruin her cultivation?"

"Yes, I will," Liusu replied matter-of-factly.

"Then why are you so enthusiastic? Isn't this just setting people up?"

"What does it matter to me whether she's a bad or not?" Liusu Su chuckled. "When did you ever think of me as a kind person who cares about others? This Daoist Nun is so arrogant, acting like she doesn't want to be approached. Can't I just see her with her hair disheveled and her eyes misty?"

"..." Qin Yi didn't answer, but he felt that it was really too persuasive.

The Liusu always manages to do this, each line hooking straight into the devil in one's heart.

I wonder what would happen if a slightly wicked person found the Liusu and things got really heated.

Liusu, undeterred by her failed attempt to trick her, asked with renewed interest, "Hey, if it won't ruin her cultivation, would you like to try and pluck the stars?"

Qin Yi hesitated for a moment, then nodded honestly.

There is nothing shameful about acknowledging desires.

Liusu smiled, "She's simply seeking the Dao. What if you represented the Dao?"

Qin Yi was taken aback.

"When the day comes that you stand on the sun and moon, with the sky above your head, bathed in the Milky Way, the stars will naturally be in your palm, obtained without being plucked," Liusu said leisurely. "So... cultivate, young man."

Over there, Minghe sat cross-legged on a blue stone by the pool, silently looking at the tortoise shell in his hand.

She consulted a fortune teller.

Divination for oneself.

Diviners can only calculate others, not themselves. The way of divination never involves calculating oneself, but at this moment, Minghe couldn't help but try to calculate it.

The Divinatory Symbol were completely incomprehensible to her.

Leaping from the Abyss, there will be no blame in advancing.

This is clearly referring to the outcome of the battle against the Ancient Corpse in the cave abode. What's there to calculate?

If it is said that there will be no blame in the future, then there will be no blame.

What I'm trying to calculate isn't good or bad fortune at all...

But what exactly was she trying to calculate? Minghe herself didn't know.

She sighed softly and put away the tortoise shell. How could she possibly arrive at a reliable result if she didn't even know what she wanted to divine...?
