Shasha~
Just moments ago, the moon was shining brightly in the sky outside the window, but now a light rain has quietly begun to fall.
Luo Xuanqing leaned back on the tea table, suddenly snapping out of his reverie. He turned and glanced out the window, his eyes slightly puzzled, before looking across at the opposite side.
Ye Xingge was still wearing his gray-white robe, telling his story with a strong and clear voice, while he held her feet and massaged them in various ways.
Luo Xuanqing blinked, sensing something was off, but couldn't quite place it, so he asked:
"Huh? Why is it raining?"
Ye Xingge clearly didn't know when he had entered a dream; he was simply playing with the black stockings intently, glancing at the dark, murky buildings as he heard the sound.
"It's normal for it to rain in the middle of summer..."
As he spoke, Ye Xingge raised his hand and scratched his back, his expression showing he wasn't feeling well.
Seeing this, Luo Xuanqing pulled his legs back, knelt down in front of him, and asked with a frown:
"What's wrong with you?"
Ye Xingge felt an itch on his back. According to Great Beauty's explanation in Shangjin Ferry, it was caused by the " Blissful Illusory Body." He couldn't let anyone see it and needed to be treated with acupuncture as soon as possible.
Therefore, Ye Xingge was subconsciously worried that the Filth-Severing Whip would be exposed, and explained:
"It's just a little itchy, it's okay, I'll continue telling stories to Sister Luo."
Luo Xuanqing noticed that the boy's eyes were somewhat evasive, assuming he was injured, and immediately transformed into a stern female boss, pinning him down:
"Let me see..."
Whoosh~
The robes were immediately ripped off, but neither of them realized the problem.
Ye Xingge felt a chill all over his body, his expression changed slightly, and he quickly covered himself:
"I'm really fine..."
"Don't move!"
Seeing that the brat was not behaving himself, Luo Xuanqing straddled his lower back and carefully examined his spine.
Ye Xingge didn't know what was on his back, only that there were some red marks. Seeing that the Great Beauty Luo had already noticed, he braced himself and asked:
" Sister Luo, what's wrong with me?"
Luo Xuanqing naturally didn't know about the ' Divine Dragon Covering the Back ' either. What he saw was just a few red marks from Ye Xingge's memory, and they seemed to be related to his qi meridians. He frowned and asked:
"Is there something wrong with your cultivation technique?"
Ye Xingge, suppressed by the Great Green Peach, could clearly feel the heat and heavy force of the enforcement, causing his Dao heart to waver. To prevent his little whip from being exposed, he thought for a moment and explained:
"Hmm... After I learned the ' Great Nine Yang ' technique, because the method was incomplete, I figured it out on my own based on the foundation of the Great Nine Yang."
Luo Xuanqing knew that Ye Xingge had learned the Great Nine Yang Technique and had also taught Ye Xingge how to deduce the remaining steps. Upon hearing this, his expression turned solemn.
"You didn't follow the instructions, you modified it yourself, and you still practiced it?"
With Ye Xingge Great Beauty to oversee the process, Ye Xingge's technique was fine, and he responded at this time:
"According to the principles of the technique, the Great Nine Yang involves three meridians, each containing three gates. However, I've come to realize that this technique requires 'abstinence and chastity' to reach its maximum effect, which isn't quite suitable for me..."
Gibberish...
Luo Xuanqing listened attentively and was truly astonished to see that Ye Xingge could draw inferences from one instance to another and deduce the essence of the Great Nine Yang.
But when he heard about the subsequent absurd alterations, such as using the pure Yang origin as a guide, and how the abundance of Yang would strengthen the three meridians and nine passes, his face turned black!
After all, this line of thinking, when applied to martial arts, is a misguided path!
Although it may sound like one can claim to have a complete cycle of Qi, the prerequisite is that 'one yang is dominant'.
In other words, the 'pure yang origin' is incredibly strong, capable of supporting the entire body.
If you're not strong enough, the result will be that your body is instantly drained, at best you'll become Dongfang Bubai), at worst your bodily functions will completely collapse.
"You're simply..."
Luo Xuanqing patted his back and said seriously:
"A celestial-grade cultivation technique—how dare you alter it without my permission? Why didn't you consult me beforehand?"
He was still a little doubtful, after all, Ye Xingge wasn't currently suffering from a deficiency of Yang energy, but rather a bit restless...
To conceal his Blissful Illusory Body, Ye Xingge began to fabricate another story:
"I realized I couldn't sustain it, so I started to nurture my pure yang essence, um... which means I was figuring out a way to enhance my yang energy. I was fine yesterday, but the Fate-Robbing Saber had increased my power by two or three years, and the nurturing was too intense, so this happened..."
Although it's all made up, Ye Xingge is actually quite logically consistent.
Aphrodisiac techniques are actually quite common in the martial arts world. The Yellow Court Classic and the Classic of Mastering Women are examples. Their effects are similar to the ' Blissful Illusory Body ', but they are not as powerful as divine weapons and do not offer any favorability rewards.
After hearing the explanation, Luo Xuanqing felt that the kid was completely messing around. He immediately tried to take the pulse and found that the Ren and Chong meridians, which govern Yin fluids and Qi and blood, were indeed very vigorous and not deficient, which meant that the cultivation technique was still working!
The current situation is that he secretly practiced aphrodisiac techniques, Fate-Robbing Saber improved too quickly, leading to an excess of energy and causing problems.
Solving this problem is simple: just find a beautiful, kind-hearted, and aloof fairy to chisel at it...
But isn't this all aimed at her?!
Luo Xuanqing never expected to encounter this situation, her eyebrows furrowed in shock.
"You've gone completely mad! What are you going to do now? Do you want me to help you vent your anger?"
"Ah?"
Ye Xingge was taken aback and turned to look behind him:
"May I?"
Luo Xuanqing paused slightly upon facing this question, then began to internally rehearse:
This brat has already made such a mess of things; as his protector and superior, she can't just ignore it, or ask Wen Zhuohua for help...
Since things have come to this point, we can only act expediently in this emergency...
Therefore, Luo Xuanqing quickly took on the responsibility of an older sister and turned the brat over:
"How should I proceed?"
"Well..."
Ye Xingge lay on the couch, looking at the wealthy and generous Great Beauty Luo, his heart overflowing with emotion, but he still followed his heart and said:
"If only..."
The baby's not feeling well, a good spanking will fix it!
Upon hearing this suggestion, Luo Xuanqing's heart trembled, but touching it with her hand was indeed more palatable than having her skirt lifted. Therefore, she leaned against her chest, her voice barely audible.
"I... I can't..."
"It's alright, I'll teach you..."
In Ye Xingge's dream, there was no restraint whatsoever; he taught her step by step.
In the dream, Luo Xuanqing was truly cooperative.
A moment later, Ye Xingge noticed that the Great Beauty Luo was leaning obediently in his arms, gently stroking her dark hair.
Why are you pressing my head down?!
"Uh, it's nothing..."
"You... Waaah~" Outside the dream.
Outside the guest rooms of the Mystic Ice Pavilion, all was silent.
Luo Xuanqing lay on the pillow, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, her cheeks flushed, she bit her lower lip lightly, her body shifting restlessly, a hint of ethereal shyness in her eyes, and she let out a soft moan:
"Phew~..."
And the next room.
Ye Xingge, already asleep, lay on the pillow with his eyes closed, a smile playing on his lips, seemingly happy about something...
On the other side.
Hongyu had been eavesdropping on Sao Tizi and, finding that both of them were asleep and that their base hadn't been raided, felt a great sense of relief. She then picked up the jade pendant again:
"Master?"
And this time, the Master, who had disappeared for half the night, responded.
As the sound rang out, a hazy, ghostly figure appeared beside the bed. It still wore a veil and its figure was ethereal, but through the details of its aura, one could vaguely sense that it was burdened with worries.
Seeing this, Hongyu sat up and asked in confusion:
"Master, what were you doing just now?"
Cloud and Rain Tower must have just gone to investigate Xiao Bieli. He looked around at the surroundings.
" Xiao Bieli acting strangely. He appears to have retired from public life, but he's secretly still practicing martial arts, and his methods are a bit off..."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Hongyu's expression immediately turned serious.
As an elder of the Xiao Clan clan, Xiao Bieli had already ranked among the top Second Rank when he retired ten years ago. If he had continued to hone his skills in secret, he might have been able to break into the First Rank after ten years.
"Something's not right? Can't Master discern this person's true strength?"
"No."
Cloud and Rain Tower pondered for a moment:
"The Prince's mansion is heavily guarded, and there seems to be an underground palace below. If I went in, I might have alerted them, and I was unable to ascertain the details. However, if Xiao Bieli were practicing normally, there would be no need for him to retreat and hide to practice secretly. I suspect that he has come into contact with demonic methods."
The so-called demonic martial arts are training methods that involve 'absorbing and stealing vital energy' and other heinous practices. They hold a similar status in the martial arts world to the Return to Origin Cult Sect, the only difference being that the Return to Origin Cult seeks wealth while the demonic sect directly harms people.
Normally, those who wish to practice demonic martial arts must first retire from the martial world.
After all, the Heaven-Observing Decree can directly see the training progress of each master. If the improvement speed is abnormal, an investigation will be launched. The older generation does not want to be spied on, so the only reasonable excuse is to sheath their swords and no longer concern themselves with the affairs of the martial world.
Hongyu's gaze turned serious upon seeing this:
"What should we do then? Should we expose this?"
"This is just speculation at the moment, without any concrete evidence. Let me investigate further first..."
After exchanging a few words, Cloud and Rain Tower looked around the room:
Where is Ye Xingge?
Hongyu looked slightly embarrassed and recounted how she had just discovered the traitor in the Mountains and Rivers Association, then said:
" Ye Xingge's skill has increased too rapidly; he may need to seal his meridians again..."
Cloud and Rain Tower was not surprised by this, and looked outside:
Where is this child?
Hongyu raised her hand and pointed outside:
"It's in that room, but Luo Xuanqing came along too, so he's sleeping in the next room, so..."?
Beneath the veil of the Cloud and Rain Tower, her eyes narrowed slightly.
"So, I have to sneak into the room to administer acupuncture?"
To be precise, it was touching the bed...
Hongyu knew this was putting her master in a difficult position, so she thought for a moment:
"How about I try to get Ye Xingge to come out for a bit?"
Cloud and Rain Tower felt that Yu'er's handling of this matter was utterly beyond words. After a moment's consideration, he still said:
"This boy goes out so late at night, how could Luo Xuanqing not accompany him? I'll go and check on him."
"Good."
Hongyu nodded slightly, closed her eyes, and waited for her master to give the order...
