Having said this, she suddenly leaned forward, and the faint scent of jasmine from her body wafted towards me.
"But remember, when you say these words, look him in the eye, but don't be too direct. You want him to feel that you can't help yourself, and it's not deliberate."
Mo Xuan held her breath unconsciously. Lian Xing was too close to her, so close that she could see the curvature of her eyelashes and smell the faint scent of tea on her breath.
This intimate distance made her feel uncomfortable, but she inexplicably wanted to learn, learn this ease and control, learn this irresistible charm.
Lian Xing returned to her original position, and her voice returned to its previous calmness.
"A noble man should always have something new to offer, so that he will always be looking forward to the next time."
Mo Xuan couldn't help but sigh.
"I didn't expect there were so many tricks here."
…
At three quarters past midnight, a thin layer of frost formed on the glazed tiles of Li Lingge's mansion.
Nangong Qingxue stepped barefoot across the roof, and the golden bells on her snow-white ankles rang softly, but she used her divine power to stifle the sound before it landed on the ground.
"Now that you're here, why hide?"
Li Lingge's lazy voice came from the window, startling Nangong Qingxue's fingertips.
Today she did not wear the moon-white robe of the Taiqing Palace, but changed into a smoky purple gauze skirt, which was the beautiful color that Li Lingge praised last time.
The carved window lattice slid open silently, and Nangong Qingxue floated into the inner room like a snowflake.
She deliberately staggered when she landed, and fell into that familiar embrace as she wished.
"Qingxue has overstepped the bounds. Master, will you punish me?"
She tilted her face upwards, deliberately letting the moonlight shine on her carefully made-up features.
Li Lingge pinched her chin with a smile, and rubbed the teardrop mole with his thumb.
"If your master knew that the goddess of Taiqing Palace broke into the prince's residence at night—"
Nangong Qingxue hurriedly covered his mouth, then realized that she was being rude and knelt down on the ground in panic.
"Qingxue is here to report something important."
Her kneeling posture was extremely beautiful, with her neck curved like a swan's head bowed.
Li Lingge nonchalantly played with a strand of her hair: "Speak."
"Master has already grasped the clue of Chaos Azure Lotus. This object is in the secret realm of the Black-bellied Brocade Spider's ancestral land."
She held up an ice crystal in her palm, and a topographical map of the Ten Thousand Spider Valley emerged within the crystal.
At the location of the Thousand Silk Cave at the bottom of the valley, the shadow of a green lotus is faintly swaying.
This was copied using the Ice Soul Condensation Technique when she secretly read her master's "Taiqing Secret Book".
"To open the secret realm, one needs the bloodline of the Black-bellied Brocade Spider."
She tapped the ice crystals with her fingertips, and the scene switched to a page from an ancient book: [Green Lotus confuses the heart of the Dao, every step brings a calamity.]
Li Lingge suddenly chuckled, walked to the west window, and muttered.
"My second brother picked up a treasure."
Nangong Qingxue knelt down to his feet and held out a spider-shaped jade pendant as if offering a treasure.
"This is the Sky Spider Spirit Pendant. It can sense the bloodline of the Black-bellied Brocade Spider clan within a hundred miles. Qingxue stole it and presented it to the master."
The moment Li Lingge took the jade pendant, he thought of Mo Xuan who was about to enter the Misty Rain Tower and was desperately practicing sitting on a paper fan.
"Has your master found the bloodline of the Black-bellied Brocade Spider?"
A trace of struggle flashed in Nangong Qingxue's eyes. Betraying her master was a crime of treason, but her master's fingertips were lightly caressing the back of her neck, and she immediately felt waves of trembling pleasure from there.
"not yet."
There was a hint of amusement in Li Lingge's tone.
"Tell me, if your master knew that her most proud disciple had betrayed her, what would she do?"
"No!" Nangong Qingxue hugged his legs in fear, "Qingxue is willing to do anything for the master!"
Li Lingge leaned over and put his thin lips next to her ear.
"Put these things back before she finds out. I've already found the bloodline of the Black-bellied Silk Spider."
He gently bit her earlobe and felt the person in his arms tremble violently.
"You did a good job."
Nangong Qingxue took the opportunity to bury her face in Li Lingge's palm and rub it gently. Just when she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness."
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Lingge spoke.
"Come in."
Lian Xing pushed the door open and saw Nangong Qingxue kneeling on the ground. She was stunned.
If she saw it correctly, that was the goddess of Taiqing Palace, actually kneeling in front of the Three Emperors.
Before she could recover from her shock, Li Lingge spoke.
"How is she doing?"
Lian Xing's throat rolled, and she recalled the scene this morning when Mo Xuan used an egg to complete the sitting paper fan in ten breaths.
"Your Highness, Miss Mo Xuan is extremely talented. In just one night, she has reached the pinnacle of sitting on a paper fan."
Hearing this, Li Lingge couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. It was really like someone giving you a pillow when you're sleepy.
"Please find a way to get her into Yanyu Tower as soon as possible. I can't wait any longer."
"Your Highness, Mo Xuan was able to learn to sit on a paper fan in one day, all thanks to his hatred for you."
Lian Xing lowered her voice very softly, as if she was afraid to disturb the smoke rising from the incense burner.
"Why not just—"
She made a gesture of wiping her neck, and the jade bracelet on her wrist hit the edge of the table, making a crisp sound.
Li Lingge paused and asked with his head tilted.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
His voice had a slightly lazy tone, but the last word pierced like an icicle.
Lian Xing immediately knelt on the ground, and the hem of her skirt spread out like a trembling flower on the green jade bricks.
She rested her forehead against the cold ground and spoke in a trembling voice.
“I dare not.
But Mo Xuan is extremely talented. If I allow him to grow, I am afraid he will endanger His Highness."
Li Lingge suddenly chuckled and lifted Lian Xing's chin with his fingertips.
