At this mont, the room was filled with a unique fragrance that was refreshing to the heart and spleen.
Lu Yao paid it no mind, having slled this fragrance many tis before—it was his senior sister's body scent—but this ti, it was exceptionally intense.
It was neither floral nor powdery, but sothing entirely different and exotically fragrant.
After slling it too much, Lu Yao's mind began to blur.
As an Innate Grandmaster and a practitioner of the Spirit Refinent of Divine Fetal Breathing, there were virtually no substances in the world that could affect him. Yet in the presence of this fragrance, he was utterly powerless, gradually sinking into it.
It wasn't until his senior sister gently touched his face and called out, "Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Yao ca to his senses and looked at her, the beauty breathtaking, and said in astonishnt, "Senior sister, your fragrance... it can actually bewitch the mind; even I can't resist it!"
Liao Ya herself did not notice, but she was very shy, covering her face and saying, "I... I don't know either..."
At this mont, Lu Yao only felt an abundance of energy in his body, as if he were standing in the midst of nuclear radiation.
He still did not realize that he had stumbled upon a treasure, rely saying, "It's nothing, perhaps you just have a unique body scent. I was just caught off guard for a mont..."
With Innate True Qi flooding in and his Spirit Refining State fully engaged, the refreshing scent in the room grew even more intoxicating to the heart and spleen and slowly seeped outside.

anwhile, in the study,
Li Pei was examining the ledgers, intelligence, and various other docunts handed over by Zhang Jin.
After the fall of the Linjiang Gang, everyone had fought tooth and nail for the vast inheritance, which had only just been divided.
On behalf of Lu Yao, Zhang Jin had secured the lion's share, acquiring three new-model heavy oil cargo ships, rights to five riverside docks, as well as countless lucrative street shops.
Her lord was indifferent to these matters, all managed by Li Pei herself.
Next, she had to translate the ancient texts found in the underground ruins using the "Small Seal Script Chinese Character Comparison Chart" brought back by her lord.
It was a ti-consuming and laborious task, but luckily, Li Pei was a top student, proficient in multiple foreign languages and had so research on small seal script, making her well-suited for the work.
Busy until noon, Liao Qe ca over to call her, "Sister Li, co have lunch. There's the white phoenix stewed dicinal al you like."
Li Pei stretched languidly, "I'll be right there."
On the way to the dining hall, passing by the inner residence, both won suddenly wrinkled their noses in unison.
Being in a state of Spirit Refinent Firmness, with keen senses, they slled the enchanting fragrance in the air.
Liao Qe was puzzled and said, "It seems like my sister's scent..."
She wasn't entirely sure, as the fragrance was too overwhelming, and a faint sense of dizziness assaulted them, almost giving them a feeling of floating to the heavens. Explore new worlds at empire
As a scion of imperial heritage with broad knowledge, Li Pei imdiately pulled Liao Qe back and reminded her, "Mobilize your Inner Breath and focus your spirit."
Liao Qe did as instructed, her mind instantly clearing. She quickly asked, "What happened just now?"
"A good thing, it turns out your sister is quite the rarity," Li Pei explained with a smile:
"So won, when emotionally aroused, emit a special body fragrance that srizes others. This fragrance is harmless, and its effects are infinitely better than ambergris, it's a natural spiritual dicine. It is called—Orchid Fragrance."
"Aroused fragrance... Orchid Fragrance!" Liao Qe, having seen many paintings and also being well-inford, said, "Isn't this just like the ancient 'Fragrant Concubine'?"
Li Pei nodded and said, "Indeed, such won were usually presented to the Emperor in ancient tis."
"So, what shall we do next?"
"Let's not eat just yet! The Orchid Fragrance has imnse benefits, so let's stand from afar and have a whiff. Once we're used to it, we can gradually get closer."
Hence, the two girls unabashedly eavesdropped from a corner, emitting the occasional "titter" of laughter.
~~~~~~~~~~
It wasn't until the next morning that Lu Yao finally erged from the room with Liao Ya in tow.
However, they hadn't expected to bump into Li Pei and Liao Qe as soon as they ca out.
The two girls looked teasingly at the Sect Leader's elder martial sister, their mouths clicking in disapproval:....
Liao Ya was extrely embarrassed and hid behind Lu Yao.
Lu Yao's skin was thicker than the frontal armor of a tank. He was about to say a few polite words when he suddenly noticed that Liao Qe's vital energy was unusually robust and couldn't help exclaiming with joy, "You've undergone the Blood-Exchange?"
Liao Qe smiled happily, revealing a mouth missing two front teeth: "Thanks to Big Sister's blessing, I achieved a breakthrough in the Mind Cleansing technique overnight~"
She had already started teething, which is a sign of entering the Blood-Exchange Realm.
Liao Ya was a bit confused, "How does that have anything to do with ?"
"It might...actually have sothing to do with you." Lu Yao had been slling it for a whole day and night, and even he couldn't fail to realize at this point—the elder martial sister's body scent had great benefits.
Li Pei also stepped forward to explain in detail, adding her own understanding to what she had just told Liao Qe:
"The Orchid Fragrance is Liao Ya's unique physiological sll, which directly triggers a human brain reaction, stimulating the central nervous system, and has miraculous effects."
Liao Qe chid in, "Mhm mhm, it slls particularly relaxing, makes one's mind clear and exceptionally perable, doubling the effectiveness of Mind Cleansing~"
After speaking, she even lay on her sister's body, sniffing from head to waist, looking absolutely intoxicated.
Liao Ya shoved her mischievous younger sister away but quickly realized sothing and exclaid in shock, "You two... have been sniffing around here for a whole day, haven't you?"
Li Pei nodded openly, "Yeah. Such a good thing shouldn't go to waste, so we just kept sniffing it."
Upon hearing this, Liao Ya covered her face and squatted on the ground, feeling too embarrassed to face anyone.
Liao Qe added, "And we'll need to keep sniffing it in the future~ This is good stuff~"
Upon hearing this, Liao Ya was overco with sha and anger; she stood up to chase after her sister. But now that the girl had undergone a Blood-Exchange, her constitution had dramatically improved, and Liao Ya couldn't catch up.
At this point, Li Pei coughed to draw everyone's attention and solemnly said,
"This matter must be kept a secret. The Orchid Fragrance is a natural Spiritual dicine, free of any dicinal poison and safe, a dream for any Alchemist. If word gets out, it will definitely cause trouble, especially from the Joyful Sect."
Li Pei paused for a mont, then continued,
"The Sect-defining Ultimate Technique of the Joyful Sect—the Mahayana Ultimate Bliss Heavenly Demon Dance—requires a woman with the Orchid Fragrance just like Liao Ya.
But since the previous Holy Maiden passed away, they haven't been able to find a suitable replacent. If they learn about Liao Ya, they will definitely pester us relentlessly."
Liao Ya's expression turned cold, "A bunch of Fox Spirits, just kill them off!"
"Don't underestimate them, the Joyful Sect is not easy to deal with!" Li Pei explained:
"The Joyful Sect has countless strong practitioners, and many of the female disciples serve as concubines to influential figures, capable of swaying their opinions and gathering intelligence. When the ti cos, they can also call upon them as enforcers."
Hearing this, the faces of the younger sisters gradually turned solemn.
At that mont, Lu Yao spoke up, "Don't worry, leave everything to ! Set your minds at ease, no need to dwell on it."
With the might of planes, tanks, and artillery at his side, anyone who dared to cause trouble would surely regret it!
