The True Form of the Heavenly Awakening Spiritual Light

You Su leaned against the corridor pillar, watching Xiao Nian Su tiptoe to reach the bamboo dragonfly that had flown to the plum blossom branch.

When she tiptoed, her skirt fluttered like butterfly wings, and for a moment You Su even felt that she really did resemble her junior sister somewhat.

"Father, help me!" Nian Su tugged at the hem of his robe, her voice sweet as honey.

You Su chuckled lightly. Without even moving his sword sheath, a gust of wind swept across the branches, and a bamboo dragonfly carrying a petal fell into the little girl's palm.

He has mastered the ability to project his Mystic Qi, which is a true sign of entering the Feather Transformation Realm, so flying is naturally no problem for him.

The sound of silver bells rang out in the distance, and Hong Xiao led several snake women gracefully towards them.

Whenever You Su gazed upon the snake women's beautiful faces and slender waists, she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy at being able to see them. However, she never dared to look too long, always quickly averting her gaze elsewhere.

At first, these snake women were very wary of him, but gradually they stopped being so, and even became more casual than usual.

At this moment, the overwhelming whiteness was no longer a feast for the eyes; on the contrary, for You Su, a self-proclaimed gentleman and henpecked husband, it was a kind of trouble that other men could not experience.

Hong Xiao handed the food box to You Su and said with a smile, "Young Master You, the desserts and ice you ordered today are all inside."

"Thank you, Sister Hong Xiao." You Su took out another blueprint from her bosom and handed it to her. "The blade curvature of the third batch of Cold Wind Fan still needs some adjustment. The air delivery distance is three feet shorter than expected."

"The current Cold Wind Fan works perfectly fine, Young Master You, there's no need to be so serious." Hong Xiao and the other snake women looked at each other with gratitude in their eyes.

"The snake clan trusts me, which is why they entrusted their sweltering heat to these copper, iron, and bamboo slips. I cannot let them down."

You Su Suqing smiled, which, in the eyes of the women, was like a cool breeze that had come to life on a hot summer day.

"Thank you for taking Nian Su back to Granny Liu, Sister Hong Xiao. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

You Su smiled and said goodbye to Nian Su, then left with the Glazed Cup.

He was now quite satisfied with the snake clan's attitude towards him; they no longer treated him with the same aloofness they had shown him when he first arrived, as if he were a thorn in their side. The talk of him being a pretty boy seeking the snake clan's protection, or a jinx who would bring disaster to the snake clan, had disappeared, replaced by sweet greetings of "Young Master You."

So, You Su has returned to her own life during this time, no longer eager to show herself in front of the snake clan, only occasionally offering suggestions for improving the Cold Wind Fan. As a result, she has had fewer opportunities to spend time with these snake women, which is why a simple ice delivery request has attracted many of her sisters besides Hong Xiao. At this moment, as they watched You Su leave, they all looked reluctant to part with her, and unanimously complained in their hearts about their Second Young Lady's stinginess.

At 3:45 PM, You Su stood in front of He Shutong's bamboo hut, holding Glazed Cup. The bamboo curtain moved without wind, revealing an empty porcelain bowl on the table—the honey-soaked dew sent yesterday had obviously been accepted.

The bamboo shadows swayed gently, and only the breeze blowing through the hall lifted the dark tassel of his sword at his waist.

You Su spoke a few words to He Shutong and Wangshu through the bamboo gate, then smiled knowingly and left on his own.

He kept his promise punctually every day, even though He Shutong never spoke a word or opened the bamboo door. But as long as she accepted his feelings, You Su felt that was enough.

More importantly, the rejection in reality was replaced by the deeper tenderness of the Mistress in the dream.

You Su would sometimes close his eyes to rest, but in reality, he would return to his dreams to meet his Mistress. You Su could feel that his Mistress had obviously let go of a lot of resentment there. Even when faced with his childish behavior that was a bit too much, she would suppress her shyness and try her best to satisfy him. She was incredibly tolerant, as if she wanted to make up for the guilt she felt for rejecting You Su in reality in her dreams.

From the very beginning, when his Mistress left him with this mental block, until now, You Su is almost certain that his Mistress also has feelings for him that go beyond those between master and disciple.

However, her Mistress was not her Sovereign Lord sister, with whom she could bravely pursue love despite being unrelated. Sometimes, the very close relationship became the biggest obstacle to making it even closer. In reality, too many factors made her Mistress dare only let this mental barrier remain a dream known only to herself.

He was delighted that this was not a one-sided transgression, and thus became even more enamored with the tenderness in his dreams.

But he remained clear-headed; a dream is a dream, and reality is reality, but she was still his master's Mistress.

Therefore, he would not recklessly take advantage of his Mistress's guilt towards him just because it was a dream. He also carefully cherished her gentleness and only tested the boundaries of their relationship within the limits she allowed.

Whether in their private space or in reality, You Su showed He Shutong immense patience.

Because he wanted He Shutong to understand that no matter when or where, his feelings for her were not a passing fancy, but a steadfast and genuine affection.

Back in Ji Lingruo's courtyard, as the sword light flashed, plum blossoms fell like rain.

Ji Lingruo also disliked the heat, so she wore a short blue dress that allowed a large expanse of skin to shine through when practicing her sword. The Cheng Ying Sword that You Su had found for her was kept as a secret weapon by her, so she still used an ordinary Wooden Sword when practicing.

"I've said before that my junior sister's talent in Way of the Sword is no less than mine; even a blind man wouldn't be wrong about that."

You Su chuckled and broke off a plum branch to make a sword. He incorporated the sword principles he had learned from practicing with his Mistress in his dream into the movements of the Mandarin Sword. In reality, he practiced with his junior sister and shared his experience with her.

The Wooden Sword struck the plum branch, creating ripples that fell into the pond, startling several red carp into darting into the corner of the pond.

After finishing her sword practice, Ji Lingruo put away her Wooden Sword with satisfaction. Her sweat-dampened short clothes clung to her back, revealing the butterfly-shaped crimson gauze lining clearly, as if a colorful butterfly were truly perched on her snow-white skin.

You Su was mesmerized. The girl's wisps of hair at her temples, damp with sweat, looked even more vibrant than her usual meticulously styled hair.

Suddenly, a warm breeze carrying the fragrance of a young girl wafted by, You Su, already aroused, embraced the sweat-drenched girl tightly.

The summer heat was intense, and the boy's embrace was even hotter, causing Ji Lingruo to sweat profusely.

She knew exactly You Su was thinking, and her ears turned bright red as she said, "Didn't we agree that evenings were the only time for cultivation?"

"Miss Xue Ruo is free today. I found out when I talked to her this morning..." You Su took a deep breath of the girl's sweat scent that was so close to his.

What did you talk to her about...?

"We discussed mass-producing Cold Wind Fan and selling them externally to make money."

What did she say?

"She refused, saying that the snake clan wasn't that short of money, and that selling such novel things would attract unnecessary attention." You Su not only hugged her tightly, but her hands also gradually became restless.

"She's thinking of you... Stop smelling her! And kissing her!" Ji Lingruo punched You Su's shoulder in embarrassment and pushed him away slightly. "I'm all sweaty... Let me go take a shower first."

You Su grabbed her tightly, his eyes filled with a determination like a swordsman who had found the sword he had sought all his life.

Ji Lingruo, being Wangshu's teacher in this area, immediately understood what You Su was thinking.

This wicked senior brother, with his head full of terrible ideas, is clearly craving her current sweat-soaked appearance.

They were so busy that they didn't even have dinner until late at night.

Once she had accumulated enough refined yang energy, Ji Lingruo drove You Su out of her home.

And the only place You Su could go in this snake clan was Miss Xue Ruo's bedroom.

"I didn't ask you to come today." Ji Xueruo always turned her face away whenever he climbed through the window.

"Miss Xue Ruo didn't tell me not to come today." You Su chuckled and then closed the window tightly, which Miss Xue Ruo always couldn't bear to close completely.

Ji Xueruo's face was flushed, which was unusual for her status. You Su could tell what had happened just by smelling the faint scent of sweat that belonged to the snake clan in the air.

It seems that while he and his junior sister were diligently cultivating, Miss Xue Ruo was also inevitably busy as well.

"Don't go too far. I remember telling you it's only at night! Otherwise, it'll bother me!" Ji Xueruo raised her eyebrows.

"If Miss Xue Ruo hadn't told me this morning that you were off today, I would have behaved myself properly."

"What do you mean? You think I'm implying something to you?!"

"I didn't say that." You Su's skin was always as thick as a city wall when dealing with women. "I just felt that Miss Xue Ruo was working too hard, and it would be appropriate to let her subordinates do more work. You are still young, and cultivating yourself is more important than taking on heavy responsibilities."

"Heh!" Ji Xueruo rolled her eyes playfully. "Practicing your evil sect's evil techniques?"

"It's not an evil technique, it's a divine technique that can help us break through to the Half-step Void Glimpse Realm." You Su wouldn't tolerate anyone slandering his profound sect.

Even though Ji Xueruo still couldn't get used to the fact that she, as the head of a clan, was having an affair with her brother-in-law in the ancestral land of her clan, she had to admit that this divine skill was truly mysterious and amazing.

Half-heartedly, they eventually resorted to the method of 'retracing their steps' and retraced the old path they had taken to break through to the Half-step Void Glimpse.

When consciousness has grown to a certain stage, the body will naturally grow along with it.

As Ji Xueruo's progress accelerated due to retracing her steps, she increasingly felt that this seemingly absurd method might actually be a miraculous way for the two of them to achieve instant success.

After all, no one in the world is like them. They were only at the Spirit Platform Realm at the time, yet they had the precious experience of breaking through to the Perfection of the Feather Transformation Realm. It was as if they had been given a second chance at life. The path of cultivation was still unfamiliar to others, but it was already an old road for them.

This miraculous effect gradually made Ji Xueruo addicted to it, but You Su often chuckled to himself, because it was usually the emotionally moved young girls who forgot that they were cultivating, rather than him who had impure motives from the beginning.

The days went by in this way, You Su felt incredibly content, as if she had returned to the carefree days she had on Lotus Peak.

But no matter how much he enjoys this happiness, his most fundamental purpose has not changed, which is to become stronger.

It's just that because of the special Cultivation Method he practiced, happiness turned into sexual happiness.

But deep in his heart, he always kept in mind the turbulent fate that had befallen him and the perilous world of the five continents.

The key he possessed that could unlock part of the mystery was the Universe Bag belonging to Senior Sister Zi Xun, which contained the Heavenly Awakening Spiritual Light.

The message entrusted to Little Dog Qianhua to convey to the Third Elder on September 1st has arrived.

"I have already instructed the seven elders that the council hall is now heavily guarded, so that not even a fly could get in."

Ji Xueruo's voice came from behind the jade table, and the sparks from the lamp wick made her jawline appear taut.

It was daytime outside, but to ensure a complete lockdown, she drew all the doors, windows, and curtains, leaving the council chamber illuminated only by candlelight.

"Sister, are you going to stay here with me too?" Ji Lingruo suddenly asked.

Given Ji Xueruo's temperament, she should have retorted, "Why can't I stay with you?" But since she was ultimately the one who stole her sister's things in the You Su matter, she naturally couldn't be so assertive and could only purse her lips and say:

"Just in case, having more people means more support."

"But the council hall is so tightly sealed off, it's pitch black, wouldn't it be... inappropriate for you to come in?"

Ji Xueruo immediately understood what her sister meant. Not wanting to be out of place, she raised an eyebrow and said, "It's precisely because I came in that they knew this must be a major event concerning the snake clan, and thus they didn't gossip."

Upon Ji Lingruo nodded insincerely, secretly thinking that her sister was still putting on airs in front of her, clearly caring about her senior brother but refusing to admit it.

In fact, since You Su moved into the snake clan, the sisters have barely spoken a word to each other. Although they have reached a tacit understanding of sharing You Su, it has also made their relationship somewhat awkward. They even feel embarrassed when they meet, and they keep quiet about the topic of You Su.

From Ji Lingruo's perspective, since she herself had so generously given up half of her senior brother's position, then her older sister should put aside her pride, treat her honestly, and even call her "older sister."

From Ji Xueruo's perspective, as the older sister, she had once again taken away her younger sister's precious possession. How could she possibly have the face to talk about You Su in front of her sister with a clear conscience? Naturally, she should put on an act of 'only the younger sister is the one true queen' in front of her sister, so that her sister would not feel threatened because of her. Only then could she have the face to enjoy her sister's generous sharing in private.

You Su was certainly aware of the awkwardness between the two, but he also knew that the core of the problem was not that the sisters' friendship had become distant; on the contrary, it was because it was too deep.

Therefore, to solve this problem, we need to find an opportunity, an opportunity that allows them to be honest with each other and confide in one another.

Right now, there are more important things to do.

You Su lowered his eyes to look at the Universe Bag in his palm; the golden incantations wrapped around the bag's opening were emitting faint blue light.

"Junior sister, Miss Xue Ruo, thank you for your trouble."

After speaking, he glanced at the two identical yet different beautiful faces, then closed his eyes and focused on channeling his Mystic Qi into Senior Sister Zi Xun's Universe Bag, trying every possible opportunity to lift the restriction.

Such tireless attempts were undoubtedly a mentally and physically exhausting task, and even You Su, who was at the Feather Transformation Realm, had beads of sweat on his forehead.

Ji Lingruo took out a handkerchief to wipe his face with a touch of heartache. Ji Xueruo saw this and felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart.

Through the dark curtains, Ji Xueruo sense that it was getting late outside; You Su had actually gone from morning to night.

There are many reasons why this plan could fail. It could be that Qianhua Venerable failed to deliver the message successfully, Bihua Venerable couldn't fake his death convincingly, or perhaps the method of faking death was simply not feasible...

However, neither she nor Ji Lingruo made any noise to disturb him; they simply waited quietly, as if it were a silent consensus between sisters—they both believed in him.

Suddenly, a faint tremor of mysterious energy rippled within the hall, and the incantations on the Universe Bag suddenly shone as brightly as day.

You Su suddenly opened his eyes, his bloodshot eyes revealing wild joy. He quickly held his breath and focused his mind, pouring in his profound energy during the moment when the restrictions on the Universe Bag were loose, searching for the figure of the Mystic Qi Heavenly Awakening Spiritual Light.

Underwear, books, elixirs...

Suddenly! You Su finally found it--

A... display screen?!

I'm finally going to have a super big surprise! lol
