Yao ng didn’t know much about Ye Qingxin, the Ye family ancestor. She was just a wisp of consciousness, but Yao ng still harbored so resentnt for her past actions against Mu Zhi’an.
“You were against him before. Why are you protecting him now?” Yao ng asked, a smile on her face, but suspicion in her green eyes.
Ye Qingxin, her hair loose, her arms crossed, glanced at Mu Zhi’an, eting his gaze for a mont before looking away. “Young Master Mu is close to my descendants. I had so misunderstandings about him before, but they’ve been resolved.” Her explanation was reasonable, but Yao ng still felt uneasy.
Mu Zhi’an remained silent, looking straight ahead, his deanor innocent and obedient. See? I’m not interacting with her. She’s the one who offered. Don’t bla later. However, he felt the Jade Empress’s gaze upon him, a knowing smile on her face.
She’s suspicious… Would Ye Qingxin really protect him just because of his relationship with Ye Qian? Yao ng didn’t believe it.
“Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist Ye,” she said, smiling, accepting the offer. With Ye Qingxin’s protection, she could focus on the Heavenly Phoenix Tree in the Jade Pool.
Mu Zhi’an was surprised by her easy agreent. This ans another consciousness in my Innate Celestial Furnace…
“Your safety is more important. I’ll be at ease knowing Ye Qingxin is with you,” Yao ng said softly, her hand gently caressing his face, a faint smile on her lips, but her green eyes seed to see through him. Her Innate Dao Body could sense his spiritual energy fluctuations, and she could easily tell that his Innate Celestial Furnace was depleted.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, her voice gentle and lodious, her aura calming.
However, her smile seed… predatory. She looks like she wants to devour … He maintained a calm facade, but he was inwardly apprehensive. However, he had to investigate the Chaos Lands. And having Ye Qingxin with him was the best option.
…
“Has Young Master Mu left, Senior Jade Empress?” Yao Yue asked, returning to the pavilion and not seeing him. She had given them so privacy.
Yao ng was reading “The Art of Managing Your Husband.”
The current page described thods of interrogating one’s Dao Companion in bed, using playful teasing to extract secrets, even including illustrations.
She couldn’t help but admire Shang Yanfei’s creativity.
Is this what she’s been researching all these years…?
Is this sothing a normal person would co up with…?
Chains, vines, teasing, using secret techniques to suppress his arousal… and verbal taunts…
There was even a technique to keep one’s Dao Companion aroused after dual cultivation, making them constantly crave more. However, it required Dao Integration level cultivation.
She closed the book, a thoughtful expression on her face. What would people think if they knew the revered Sect Master was the author of this book…?
“Senior…?” Yao Yue called out, seeing her silence.
Yao ng smiled faintly. “He’s interested in the Chaos Lands.”
“Many cultivators have died trying to enter. Is it safe for him to go there?” Yao Yue frowned, concerned.
“You seem quite worried about him,” Yao ng said, a playful smile on her lips.
“He helped before. It’s only natural for to be concerned,” Yao Yue replied quickly, afraid of being misunderstood.
“Don’t worry. The Ye family ancestor is with him,” Yao ng chuckled, looking at her aningfully.
“Do you have any extra Nirvana Silk?” she suddenly asked.
The Jade Pool’s Nirvana Silk was a rare material, and she hadn’t stored any, having been busy suppressing the Primordial Demon Emperor. However, it was incredibly beneficial for those below the Nascent Soul Realm, enhancing cultivation and providing protection in battle. And it felt amazing against the skin…
“I’ve already used most of it to make clothes or traded it for other treasures. And I gave the rest to Young Master Mu… You can ask the elders when you return to the Jade Pool,” Yao Yue said helplessly.
With the Jade Empress’s influence, the Jade Pool Holy Land was now more powerful than ever, receiving gifts and visitors daily. The elders would gladly give her anything she wanted.
“Why do you need it, Senior?”
“It can be made into clothes that enhance cultivation and provide protection, or used to… restrain soone,” Yao ng said with a smile, twirling a strand of hair around her finger. “It can also be used to interrogate naughty boys.” And she was also interested in those fishnet stockings Mu Zhi’an had ntioned.
Black or white… which one…?
…
The Chaos Lands, the border between the Eastern Continent and the Demon Realm, was rarely visited by cultivators. However, the recent phenonon had attracted countless treasure seekers, despite the dangers.
Although Mu Zhi’an wasn’t interested in the ruins, he had to investigate their connection to Wei ngrou’s curse.
“According to the Void Nightmare, Ye Yu used the treasure map to enter the abyss. So the map is required to enter…?” He flew towards the Chaos Lands on the Heaven-Asking Lock, pondering his next move, unaware of Yao ng’s thoughts about Nirvana Silk, and other things.
He took out a fragnt of the treasure map, obtained from Xiao Hua’s storage ring by Lan Feiying, who had beco increasingly mysterious, anticipating his needs. “Feiying is so thoughtful… It’s a good thing I visited her so often at the Morning Glory Auction House…” he murmured.
If she heard him, she would roll her eyes. He just wanted to see …
“Your Innate Celestial Furnace is truly special. With a bit more of the Heavenly Court’s energy, I would mistake it for the Heavenly Court itself,” Ye Qingxin’s seductive voice echoed in his mind.
If he could see inside his Furnace, he would be captivated by the sight of the beautiful ancestor, her alluring figure reclining lazily amidst the swirling spiritual energy, her red eyes filled with wonder and delight. Even she was surprised by the structure and potency of his Innate Celestial Furnace.
“I’m glad you like it, Senior. I hope it can nourish your consciousness,” he replied with a warm smile. “And I’ll need your protection this ti.”
“The Jade Empress entrusted you to my care. I’ll protect you,” she chuckled, her feet, clad in red embroidered shoes, dangling playfully.
That sounds suggestive…
But she’s just protecting , not claiming …
“There’s sothing I’m not sure if I should ntion, Senior…” he said, then hesitated. “It’s nothing…”
“Just say it,” she said calmly.
“…The Chaos Lands are dangerous, and Brother Ye dislikes … What if he causes trouble? He has a powerful being within him… I’m not his match. I’d like to reconcile with him, if possible,” Mu Zhi’an said, feigning concern.
“You’re too kind. He’s targeted you repeatedly. Why bother?” Ye Qingxin frowned.
“But he’s your descendant. I don’t want you to be caught in the middle.”
“Don’t worry about . I’ll protect you. I’ll choose you over him,” she said, her voice softening. “Don’t say such things. It makes us seem distant.”
She knew about the conflict between them. Ye Yu was jealous and resentful, his pride wounded. And if he truly wanted revenge, he would have to rely on the powerful being within him. But she wouldn’t stand idly by, not just because of Mu Zhi’an’s connection to the Heavenly Court, but also because of his sincerity. He was considerate of her feelings, unlike Ye Yu, who had repeatedly disappointed her. She had given up on him.
“Then I’ll have to rely on you, Senior Ye,” Mu Zhi’an said with a smile.
