Seeing Yun Yuqing walking towards his room with a smile on her face, Zu An thought to himself, "Oh no, what am I going to do now?"
His mind raced, but before he could come up with a solution, the door was pushed open.
Left with no other choice, he could only pretend to be listless and stand still, just like the people outside, such as Huang Huihong.
People say that if you encounter a bear in the wild, you can play dead to escape. So I can only pretend to be controlled by her so-called "Heavenly Demon Eye" to see if I can avoid disaster.
After entering the house, Yun Yuqing casually closed the door and then looked at the man inside with great interest.
Just a few months ago, this guy was an unknown, down-on-his-luck street kid, but he not only married the most beautiful woman in Mingyue City, but now he's even become famous throughout the world.
You should know that even the world's top experts may not be able to become famous, but he, a guy of about the fourth or fifth rank, actually did it.
Yun Yuqing walked to Zu An's side and slowly moved around him, curiously looking him over.
"She's quite good-looking, no wonder Miss Chu took a liking to her. But she's got some nerve, daring to flirt with me in the territory of the King of Wu even after becoming a wanted criminal." Yun Yuqing snorted, clearly she hadn't missed the words Zu An had said about her in the prison cart outside the city.
Yun Yuqing's anger level increased by 233!
Hearing her words, Zu An secretly groaned. Women really do hold grudges; even after so long, they're still bringing it up.
However, he couldn't help but marvel at her stunning beauty. Now that she was so close and scrutinizing him, he could see her even more clearly. There wasn't a single flaw on her face; her flawless skin could fascinate any man.
What's even more captivating is the sweet fragrance she carries, a scent unlike any perfume sold on the market, enough to make any man's heart flutter.
Thinking about how Sang Hong mentioned that the woman was a demon, I wondered if all demon women were this beautiful. She was quite different from what I had imagined.
"Oh dear, I almost forgot the important matter." Yun Yuqing slapped her forehead, looking quite adorable with a sudden realization. However, having just witnessed her toying with so many experts, Zu An dared not describe her as adorable at all; a more accurate description would be terrifying.
"Do you really have the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra?" Yun Yuqing sat down casually in front of him, gently fiddling with the teacup beside her with her slender hands, and then asked slowly.
After all, this divine skill only exists in legends, and no one has ever been heard of mastering it. She was worried that this was a trap deliberately set by the emperor, so it was best to find out the truth first.
“Yes,” Zuan replied in a blank tone.
Yun Yuqing's eyes lit up, but she was still a little uneasy and continued to ask for confirmation: "How could an ordinary person like you possibly obtain such a divine skill manual?"
"Because Old Man Mi, the flower farmer of the Chu family, is a eunuch who escaped from the palace. He was the one who was in charge of finding the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture back then," Zu An replied. Since the emperor knew that he had the Phoenix Nirvana Scripture, these things would be known sooner or later, so there was no point in hiding it.
Yun Yuqing nodded secretly. Wu Wang's analysis was similar to hers: "Old Man Kemi is not related to you, so why would he pass on such a precious thing to an outsider like you?"
This has been a question that has always puzzled her.
“Because he was a eunuch himself, he wanted to find a vessel to possess, and he chose me because I was handsome,” Zuan replied.
"Because you're handsome?" Yun Yuqing was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing, her laughter even more melodious than the orioles in the forest. "It's easy to imagine how narcissistic you are, that you can say such things even in this state."
Zuan: "..."
“Alright,” Yun Yuqing quickly stopped laughing, “then recite the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra for me.”
“Oh,” Zu’an muttered blankly as he recited passages of scripture, “The jade of Qishan shatters, the phoenix cries, the hibiscus weeps dew, the fragrant orchid smiles. Cold light melts before the twelve gates, the twenty-three threads stir the purple emperor…”
He was prepared for this. Back then, Huang Rong had tricked Ouyang Feng into becoming crippled with a copy of the Nine Yin Manual that was 70% real and 30% fake. He could just do the same.
Most of it is true, so as to deceive real masters; but the key parts are changed so that they not only cannot practice it, but also suffer from qi deviation.
As Yun Yuqing listened, she nodded secretly. After he finished reciting, a half-smile appeared on her face: "This incantation is indeed profound and mysterious. If it were someone else, they would probably have been fooled by you. It's a pity you ran into me."
Zuan: "..."
His heart skipped a beat, but he quickly calmed down. He was worried that the other party was deliberately bluffing him, so he remained calm and kept his dazed and controlled appearance.
"I admire your composure," Yun Yuqing chuckled as she saw his expression. "It's a pity you're not familiar with the characteristics of the Heavenly Demon Eye, which is why you revealed a flaw."
Yun Yuqing slowly stood up, adjusting her skirt as if she were always mindful of her appearance: "The Eye of the Heavenly Demon can indeed control a person's mind, but it cannot completely control it. It can only guide them with some techniques to achieve my goal."
"For example, if someone is hit by my Heavenly Demon Eye and I order them to commit suicide, it goes against the human instinct for survival, and they will definitely resist the order vehemently. But if I lead them to the edge of a cliff and ask them to jump one step forward, that's a very simple thing to do and won't cause them to resist. They will naturally obey the order, and in the end, I still achieve my goal."
