Luo Jiu hiked up to the top of the mountain, and the main hall was no different from the one she had seen the first time.
However, the black eagle standing tall in the snow was quite eye-catching.
The black eagle, seeing her approach, showed no intention of acknowledging her. It looked down at its glossy feathers, which reflected the warm sunlight, shining exceptionally brightly.
A satisfied look appeared in its golden eyes. Excellent, now it truly deserves the title of King of the Skies.
Seeing the black eagle's blissful expression, Luo Jiu couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if something had occurred to her.
The black eagle reacted extremely quickly, turning into a blur and instantly flying in front of Luo Jiu.
"You mortal, how dare you mock me?"
Luo Jiu: "..."
She covered her mouth, her big eyes darting around as if trying to figure out how to get away with it.
Before Luo Jiu could come up with an answer, she saw the black eagle stretch out its neck and search around Luo Jiu, as if it were looking for something.
"This smell...it seems so familiar."
Luo Jiu's heart skipped a beat.
No way, no way.
This herb can't even mask its own scent? This is going to be a disaster!
She didn't dare to breathe, and said in a forcedly relaxed tone:
"Lord Black Eagle, have you smelled this before? What a coincidence that we have such a connection!"
The black eagle did not answer, but spread its wings and surveyed Luo Jiu's surroundings. Its sharp golden eyes made Luo Jiu feel uneasy.
"No, you're not that disobedient, stinky rabbit."
Before Luo Jiu could respond, the black eagle spread its wings and flew away, disappearing into the horizon as a tiny black dot.
The smile on her lips froze.
Stinky rabbit?
Why do I feel like I've been insulted? It feels like I'm about to get hit!
"Aren't you coming in?"
At that moment, a voice came from inside the room, instantly freezing Luo Jiu's anger.
She had almost forgotten that an even bigger boss was waiting for her.
Luo Jiu cautiously entered. The main hall was slightly different from usual today. Several lanterns hung on the clean white walls. Although it was still somewhat deserted, it was clear that it was a place where people lived.
Yan Ze was still dressed in black, his long, ink-black hair cascading freely without any intention of tying it up, falling to the ground.
His overly deep features appeared alluring in the dim candlelight, and every move he made drew Luo Jiu's attention.
No matter how many times they meet, Luo Jiu is inexplicably drawn to this man.
There's no other reason than that this man is too bewitching. He's like a demon from the demon realm, a seductive enchantress, even more so than Luo Jiu, this little demon.
The man glanced at the folded document, a glint of light flashing between his fingers. He placed it on the page, and a few lines of text instantly appeared on the paper.
There is a Qi cultivation manual on the table.
Upon hearing Yan Ze's suggestion, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Luo Jiu's face.
It's a bit embarrassing; I was blinded by male beauty again.
On one side of the main hall was a small desk with several beginner-level cultivation books neatly stacked on it, clearly prepared specifically for Luo Jiu.
A look of surprise flashed across Luo Jiu's face.
This wasn't here last time I came. Could it be that Yan Ze specifically took me as his apprentice because I'm so intelligent and talented?!
Luo Jiu opened the book and was immediately captivated by its contents. It was as if she had entered a wondrous realm she had never experienced before.
Even though she was a demon, following the instructions above, she could still feel a warm energy flowing through her body, warming her limbs and meridians.
Luo Jiu immediately immersed herself in the book, like an old monk in meditation, frantically absorbing the knowledge within.
Quietly, time flew by, and before Luo Jiu knew it, night had fallen.
When she opened her eyes again, she was the only one left in the hall. The candles had burned out, the moon hung in the sky, and a cool breeze blew by. A sense of gloom and coldness instantly washed over Luo Jiu, making her feel uneasy.
Luo Jiu crossed her arms, trying to soothe the goosebumps on her body with the warmth from her arms.
"Where did this person go? As a mentor, can't he at least take some responsibility? Can't he?"
The moon is unusually round tonight, and the cold wind, along with everything else, seeps into Luo Jiu's body, which is extremely annoying.
Luo Jiu muttered to herself, each word a complaint. Her distraction made her forget that she was actually a person with spiritual power; even if she couldn't exorcise demons, she was more than capable of dispelling the cold.
The cold wind rustled the leaves. This ominous wind seemed to be growing stronger and stronger…
Suddenly, the palace gates were blown by a strong wind and crashed against the railing with a loud "bang".
"Ahhh..."
Luo Jiu was terrified, her face filled with horror.
A desolate, barren mountain, an abandoned old house. The low howl of the night wind carries the lament of the lingering vengeful spirits of the dead.
Isn't this the beginning of a story in a horror movie?
"Master, help me!"
This is a perfect reflection of how people have been harmed by unscrupulous movies for too long; they can scare themselves to death with their imaginations.
Luo Jiu rushed towards the back of the main hall. She didn't know why, but she always felt that being together with someone was better than being alone.
She stumbled around aimlessly, like a mindless fly. Yet, in the vast palace, it seemed she was the only one there.
"Is this a dream, or am I getting lost in a maze?"
Just as Luo Jiu was doubting herself, she suddenly heard the sound of pattering water ahead.
Without a moment's hesitation, Luo Jiu went in the direction of the sound.
As we passed through the dense bamboo forest, the sound of the flowing water grew louder. The towering trees were shrouded in mist, obscuring the path ahead.
But this sound seemed to possess some kind of magic, compelling Luo Jiu to investigate further. It was like Pandora's box, full of allure and attraction.
The clear spring water on the mountain overflows from the cracks in the rocks, gathers into a stream, and rushes down the mountain.
The soft moonlight spilled down, shimmering and sparkling, flowing into the river like the Milky Way from mythology, full of unknown magic.
Luo Jiu followed the stream and saw that they had all gathered in a pool of water.
She saw a man leaning against the shore, dressed in a pure white shirt, soaked by the water. The moonlight shone on his back, like a silver veil covering him, making him undeniably beautiful. But Luo Jiu was drawn to a striking splash of red.
That scar ran across the entire back, as if it had torn a person apart and then stitched them back together. A combination of beauty and ugliness, contradictory, yet heartbreaking.
Hearing the voice, the man turned around and saw Luo Jiu. His eyes narrowed, and he said sharply, "What are you doing here!"
The moonlight shone on the man's face, making his already captivating features even more alluring.
This man makes you want to drown in his body.
His face was flushed with a sickly redness, as if he were resisting something, but this only made him more alluring, showing no trace of the number one cultivator in the cultivation world.
The moon was unusually round and bright tonight. Its light shone down, turning into strands of silver that disappeared into the man's body.
