When they reached the top of the tower, Ku Ming was using a pair of small fire tongs to put pine needles into the clay stove. Although no flame was visible, wisps of green smoke and tea fragrance curled out from the top cover with small holes. The hazy mist made him look kind.
The old monk leaned against an ancient door, the color was similar to bronze, but not as cold as bronze, and there were two red rings nailed on each door, which was very solemn. He was not surprised to see them coming, and smiled and said, "You two came at the right time, the tea has just been brewed."
"Who wants to drink your tea?" Yao Yue snorted coldly, "We have already broken your illusion, what else do you have?"
"I just want to invite you two to have tea, not to stop you. The secret realm is behind me, you can go in." Ku Ming sighed, and then changed the subject with a murderous aura, "But I have to say this in advance, if you have evil intentions to harm my disciple after you go in, I will make your soul fly to pieces."
Before she could speak, Jiang Mi panicked: "Master, Yao Yue is not a bad person!"
"Whether he is a bad person or not, I will make my own judgment. Okay, go and come back quickly, I am still waiting to teach you the skills."
The girl glanced at him coldly and pulled Jiang Mi over: "Let's go."
The two held two red rings each and pulled outward. The door opened with a loud bang, and a strange wind suddenly blew out. It seemed to have awakened the silent years and awakened countless sleeping souls, shouting and screaming around, vibrating her eardrums. The wind was so strong that it shook the earth and made them stagger and stand unsteadily. They could only move in close to the door. The thick walls on all four sides seemed to be shaking, and she felt a little scared in a trance, and a fantasy of the sky collapsing and the earth collapsing appeared in front of her.
Then the wind suddenly stopped, and she finally had a chance to see the scene inside clearly - it was a not very spacious living room. The living room was spotless, and the furniture was as clean as new, but there were four skeletons scattered crookedly in the corner. They seemed to be people who entered this secret place at different times. Two of them were dry and white, with cracks all over the surface, and they were already showing signs of weathering. The other two seemed to be more recent, and several living green plants grew out of their mouth holes and eye sockets. The lush green was in sharp contrast to the surrounding death, and on the top of one of the plants, there was a delicate little flower.
Walking around the screen and into the room, we saw a red silk curtain with long draperies hanging in front of us. The round top and the folded and draped silk gauze seemed to flutter in the wind at any time, and the bright candlelight cast a thin halo of light. On the small table outside the red silk curtain was a large open square box, with a star on the left and a crescent moon on the right, and a pale yellow ruyi between them.
In the box was the Book of Stars.
Yao Yue took a few steps ahead and picked up the yellowed scripture to flip through it. The more she read, the tighter her brows furrowed. After turning to the end, she threw the book aside with a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Her master had already taught her the principles in this book!
Now that I think about it, her cultivation speed is much faster than that of ordinary people, isn't it all thanks to this Heavenly Star Scripture?! That old man always said that she was a star official incarnated into the world, so it seems that he is also an immortal, otherwise how could he pass on this Heavenly Star Scripture to her so completely?
The journey was arduous and all efforts were in vain.
Jiang Mi didn't dare to disturb her, but seeing her strange expression, he couldn't help but care: "Yao Yue, what's wrong?"
The girl sighed, walked over and patted the book on his chest: "It's okay, take your time reading, I'll go out first."
But when he turned around the screen, he found that the door to the secret realm was gone. The place where the door was originally had become a white wall with eight scarlet characters written on it -
Everyone will know this, and the door to life will open.
Her heart skipped a beat and she looked at the four skeletons again, finally realizing the danger of this secret place.
"Where's the door?" The man looked at the wall in bewilderment. Unconvinced, he pushed it a few times but to no avail. "What does this word mean?"
Yao Yue stood with her arms folded, her expression subtle: "The door will only reappear when all the living people in the secret realm have learned the Heavenly Star Scripture. I already know the Heavenly Star Scripture."
“Then I’ll start learning now!”
She pointed her finger at the skeletons in mid-air and said slowly, "If the Heavenly Star Scripture is really that easy to learn, why do you think these martial arts geniuses died?"
"Killed by the mechanism here?"
"There are no traps in this secret realm, and their cultivation level would not have caused them to starve to death. They must have been killed by their companions. After all, who wouldn't want to enjoy this peerless treasure book alone?"
Under Jiang Mi's horrified gaze, she subtly raised one eyebrow, and a chilling smile appeared on her pretty face——
"Those who have learned it can kill those who don't, and then they can get out, right?"
The room was filled with silence, except for the sound of their breathing.
Jiang Mi hesitated for a while, looked at her carefully and intently, and asked softly:
"Will Yao Yue... kill me?"
——This is the question she was waiting for.
"Yes." The girl answered without hesitation, "Although I can't beat that old bald donkey, I can wait until he dies before going out." Seeing his face suddenly turn as pale as paper, she wanted to tease him even more, "But, my magic power has not recovered yet, so it will take some time before I can kill you."
She had just broken through the seal imposed by Ku Ming. If he really wanted to kill her, she would not show mercy.
The man stood there, his heart sinking into the abyss. A sad smile suddenly appeared on his cold and handsome face, and then he shook his head.
"Don't bother me, I can do it myself. I just ask... I just ask..."
The playful look on her face gradually faded, and her eyes became solemn: "What do you want?"
There was a long silence, and Jiang Mi's thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line, as if he had made some kind of decision.
"I just ask that you don't forget me."
His voice trembled, his face seemed to be on fire, but his amber eyes stared at her firmly, as if he wanted to imprint her appearance in his soul forever.
An indescribable expression, almost panic-stricken, seemed to flash across the girl's bright and beautiful face. Her fair cheeks flushed bright red, her eyes didn't know where to look, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a look of shame and anger gradually appeared between her eyebrows.
"Not fun... You're really not fun!"
After saying that, she ran into the inner room without looking back, as if the person standing in front of her was not a handsome young man, but a man-eating monster. Jiang Mi stayed there at a loss, and after hesitating for a long time, he still followed her. He saw the girl lying in the red silk tent, face down in the quilt, curled up in a ball.
When she heard his footsteps, she quickly sat up and cleared her throat: "You start learning, and ask me if you don't understand."
Jiang Mi was stunned, his eyebrows raised with joy, and he nodded heavily: "Okay!"
He agreed loudly, but he was in trouble as soon as he opened the first page. The acupuncture points that the spiritual energy passed through had to correspond to the order of the stars. How could he understand so much about astrology...
Seeing that he was racking his brains to find a solution, the girl chuckled, opened the red curtain and hooked her hand at him.
"Come here, take off your shirt, and I'll teach you."
Jiang Mi climbed onto the bed as he was told, exposing his muscular upper body. His handsome face was slightly flushed, but he looked at her steadily, with a shy and expectant smile on his lips.
——Having a handsome and cool face does have its advantages. Just a slight smile can make people feel infinite favor towards you.
She supported her chin with her left hand and injected spiritual energy into her right index finger, which meandered down from his scapula, made a snake-like circle around his thoracic vertebrae, and then fell into his dantian.
"This is the first move, remember?"
He only noticed how her white fingers and pink nails scratched his skin and aroused a rush of heat in his pubic area. His Adam's apple rolled and he shook his head.
"No."
The girl frowned, poked his bulging chest muscles, and whispered softly: "How stupid! I remembered it the first time I did it."
The place where she poked felt like it was on fire. Jiang Mi felt dizzy and his heart was pounding. He couldn't utter a word.
She waved her hand mercifully, "Forget it, let's do it again." Then she pointed her index finger at the point three fingers below his navel, "Practice Qi in your Dantian, and follow my Qi to move in the opposite direction."
He tried to concentrate, but the energy she applied to his dantian was like a soft brush, constantly brushing his extremely sensitive insides, and the tingling and numbness continued to expand as her energy continued to move. By the time he reacted, his face was already flushed.
Yao Yue had already noticed his abnormality and wanted to do something bad to him. She sent more Qi to his Dantian. She was satisfied to hear him finally make an irrepressible sound, and then she asked in a puzzled manner:
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The girl spoke in an intimate tone, looking at him with a pair of watery eyes. Jiang Mi blushed and didn't dare to speak, for fear that if he opened his mouth he would moan again.
"Why aren't you talking, Jiang Mi?" Yao Yue looked at the person in front of her carefully with a smile on her face.
—— Sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, thin lips tightly pursed under a high nose, even the slight wrinkle between his eyebrows at this moment is just right for her. He has a naturally cold appearance, but he always gives her that innocent look like a young animal.
She is very good at seducing people.
"Yaoyue,... stop, stop for a moment..." His voice was trembling slightly, and it became more and more obvious. At the end, only the sound of breath remained. His beautiful muscles were tense, and his entire upper body was a thin layer of pink.
She held back her laughter and pointed at the ball of his ** that was about to burst with a serious look: "I'm teaching you the exercises, what nonsense are you thinking about?"
The young man's face froze, his lips trembled, and his expression became depressed, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.
"I didn't mean it!"
Before he could finish his words, the girl hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Jiang Mi felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He heard the sound of his own pulse beating wildly, and felt like the surroundings were a boiling pot. His mind was in a mess.
The blood in the whole body was hot, flowing and rushing through the limbs and bones, whistling down uncontrollably, and gathering in some unspeakable place.
After a gentle kiss, Yao Yue's cheeks were rosy. His rapid breath sprayed on her face, making her feel a little itchy, and there seemed to be an itch in her heart. Seeing him staring at her blankly, with a daze in his eyes, she couldn't help but chuckle and exhaled in his ear.
"Take off your pants."
