Chapter 110 Recruitment by Various Departments "Your dress is beautiful today."...
Bitao lay there, too afraid to move.
But right next to her cheek was that soft spot she loved so much, and as she looked at it, she simply couldn't resist...
Mingguang only slept for a short while after dawn, and was woken up by being sucked awake.
When I woke up, I saw that the blanket had been pulled up to his neck, trying to cover me up.
Mingguang's expression was indescribable.
He really wanted to ask Xiao Taozhi if she was so persistent about this matter because she had never had a mother since she was a child and had never experienced being fed by her mother.
But when Mingguang thought about it, although he had a mother, he had never experienced being breastfed by her. He actually liked it too, but he wasn't as enthusiastic about it as Xiaotaozhi.
He glanced at the sky outside and thought it was time to return to his bedchamber and deal with the backlog of official documents.
After this is all taken care of, the punishment for the sinful immortal should begin.
However, Mingguang did not get up to push Xiaotaozhi away. Instead, he pulled the quilt over his head and grabbed the misbehaving Xiaotaozhi in his arms.
He held her under his arms, pulled her up a little, and kissed her face, which was hot and stuffy under the covers.
He bit her cheek.
At the same time, he braced himself with his knee and rushed in as if he knew the way well. Mingguang's long arm wrapped around Bitao's shoulder and back, covering her mouth.
It was broad daylight outside.
The sunlight, like a voyeur, seeped in through the cracks in the window sash, through every possible opening.
The light spreads freely throughout the room, projecting it onto the mirror and reflecting everything inside.
The shadow of the blanket in the mirror turned into a small mountain running wildly in place, sometimes sprouting arms and legs and waving them around, and sometimes just rolling and spinning.
However, it was clearly uncoordinated and lacked direction. After running for a long time, panting heavily, it couldn't move an inch and finally collapsed on the spot.
By the time the two of them sat up wrapped in their blankets, the sunlight had already bathed the entire room in a warm yellow glow.
Bitao's hair was disheveled, her face was pink like peach blossoms, and she pressed herself against Mingguang's chest, breathing heavily like a thirsty fish.
Mingguang's complexion was the same color as hers, and it was hard to say which of the two of them was more "blooming".
Mingguang wrapped Bitao in a quilt, rested his chin on the top of her head, and his breathing became disordered and uneven.
He raised his hand and made a hand seal.
He cast over twenty more cleansing spells in one go.
My inner voice instinctively condemned me for being far too indulgent.
Yet, a sense of satisfaction he had never felt before slowly welled up from his limbs and bones.
This has nothing to do with love itself, but rather that he has never been able to satisfy his desires as freely and joyfully as he has these past two days.
The feeling of being able to do whatever he wanted, and having the other party give him whatever he wanted, was a satisfaction he had never experienced in his more than two hundred years of life.
It felt like falling into a cloud, like plunging into a warm spring, making one feel weak all over and wanting to do nothing.
His expression was somewhat dazed; it turned out that life could be lived like this...
Mingguang realized that he didn't even want to go through the punishment of the sinful immortals.
He unleashed the golden spirit within his body in an attempt to regain his sanity.
No matter how rampant the golden spirit within him was, the pain it caused was not enough to make him release the person in his arms.
Instead, they hugged each other tighter.
It's like someone drinking poison to quench their thirst; before they've even had enough water, the poison has already spread throughout their body, and there's no way to save them.
The small peach is his deadly poison.
This caused him to enter a state of physical and spiritual separation. Meanwhile, Bitao, whom he held tightly in his arms, tilted her head back and kissed Mingguang's small mole on his chin with lingering affection.
Hello Xiaohong.
Hello Xiaohong.
Hello, Xiaohong!
hey-hey.
She wrapped her arms around Mingguang's waist and back, trying to snuggle into his embrace.
She rubbed her cheek against his chest, completely lost in the moment.
Mingguang wanted to use pain to wake himself up, while Bitao completely indulged herself in it.
No wonder people say they only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals.
She wished she could stay entangled with Mingguang like this day and night.
Both of them were almost completely infatuated with each other, and it would be difficult for them to extricate themselves in a short period of time.
But as the sun rose higher and higher, the messages on the Milky Way became more frequent, and Mingguang finally managed to regain his senses.
There's no time to go back and deal with the official documents; I need to go directly to the Chongxiao Liuyutai in a bit.
He silently vowed that he must not forget to completely remove the wood spirit mixed in with his body this time.
After regaining consciousness, Mingguang looked at Bitao and his first words were: "My clothes are torn to shreds. Today, I will punish this sinful immortal."
Mingguang deliberately didn't mention that he had shredded his own clothes.
Bitao was speechless for a moment.
Hers is gone too...
She had no recollection of how she climbed onto Mingguang last night.
But Bitao knows herself very well. She must have been unhappy about hugging Mingguang through their clothes, so she tore their clothes to shreds.
After all, her new ultimate skill for ascending to immortality, "Thousand Cuts and Ten Thousand Slices," is most suitable for taking off someone's clothes.
Feeling guilty, Bitao blinked and quickly said, "Oh! Right, I came back from your place yesterday morning wearing one of your clothes. Wait for me to find it for you!"
Bitao got down to the ground as she spoke.
She went to find clothes for Mingguang, completely naked with her long hair flowing freely.
Her graceful figure was on full display; she looked like a fairy from the mountains and forests, or a fox that had just taken human form.
Mingguang sat there wrapped in a quilt, looking every bit the upright gentleman.
But where Bitao couldn't see, a triumphant smile crept across his lips.
A pair of golden eyes shone brightly, fixed intently on Xiao Taozhi's figure.
He knew that Bitao had come out of Xuanhui Palace yesterday wearing his clothes.
He controls the entire Nine Heavens' Image-Recording Array, unlike the Silver Han Net which all immortals can enter. It is an array that monitors all the activities of the immortals in the Nine Heavens.
The part about him and Xiao Taozhi on the Shuichun Bridge was erased by Mingguang using his authority.
So last night, Mingguang didn't hold back and tore his inner robe to shreds, knowing he would have something to wear today.
Bitao brought him clothes.
Mingguang took it, but his eyes never left Bitao.
While enjoying the view, he turned the tables without batting an eye: "You sleep too restlessly."
The implication is that his loss of control this morning was all because Bitao was a restless sleeper who climbed on top of him and tore his robes yesterday.
This wasn't the first time Bitao had heard this phrase.
The two slept together when they were little, and every morning when Mingguang woke up, the first thing he said was this.
It seemed like she became a different person as soon as she fell asleep, jumping around on the bed. Bitao once suspected that she might have somnambulism like ordinary people.
Or perhaps she possesses an extraordinary talent, enabling her to dream of the ethereal realm.
Bitao admitted that it was her restless sleep that had bewitched Mingguang and delayed him, causing him to be late for Chongxiao Liuyutai. To express her apology, Bitao personally dressed him.
When they were little, Mingguang liked to play with Bitao's limbs as a little peach branch. Now that they've both grown up, Mingguang obediently raises his hands and feet so that Bitao can dress him, giving Bitao the feeling that they've switched places after many years.
She was having a great time and even took advantage of the situation quite a bit. Her hands measured Mingguang's entire body.
Remembering how she held Mingguang in her mortal form in the lower realm, she secretly planned to coax Mingguang into becoming a little person for her to play with someday.
Mingguang was agitated by Bitao's groping and anger. He glared at her in condemnation but did not look away, letting her run amok.
Once you're dressed, you really can't linger any longer; there's not even time to have breakfast.
Mingguang lowered his head and kissed Bitao's forehead. After a long while, he said reluctantly, "I have to go."
After he finished speaking, he didn't even leave through the door.
He pushed open the window and departed as a spirit.
Bitao: "..."
So why did Mingguang hesitate and pretend to walk towards the door last night?
If you really want to leave, why don't you just open the window and go?
Bitao stood by the window until the golden light disappeared into the horizon, then leaned against the window and clicked her tongue.
The people downstairs probably saw Mingguang leave, because someone came to knock on the door.
"Peach blossoms, peach blossoms!"
Without Mingguang's presence, even if Bitao's house is locked, someone could still tear it down, lock and all.
Zhan Kui had just ascended to the Heavenly Immortal realm, and Guang Han had left. She had nowhere to use her abilities after ascending to the Heavenly Immortal realm, so she used them all on Bi Tao.
After breaking through the door, Zhan Kui broke through two barriers in a row. The last one was set up by Bi Tao, and she couldn't open it.
But through the barrier, I could see Bitao leaning against the window, laughing at something I couldn't quite place.
He yelled at Bitao, "Everyone's gone, what are you so smug about?!"
"Come down for dinner, several people are waiting for you!"
"Moreover, this morning the three divisions of Lei Doubing, Kunlun Mountain, Penglai Island, and the White Tiger Constellation Attendants all delivered things. Hurry down and take a look!"
Bitao, her face beaming with spring-like joy, turned around, leaning lazily against the windowsill like a boneless tree, and said, "I know, I know..."
When I went downstairs for breakfast, there was a group of people inside the Peach Blossom Palace.
They surrounded her, pointing at the things piled on the table in the main hall, saying how extraordinary the person who delivered them was and how humble their attitude was.
"What goes around comes around," Taiji said, wolfing down his food. "Those people from the Thunder Department, who used to be so arrogant when we met them on the way here, are practically bowing and scraping to the ground today!"
Cuiwei said, "Two great emperors from our Nine Heavens Academy want to take me as their successor."
Physician Wu also said, "I have also been officially granted a celestial position. In a few days, I will follow the Lingze Immortal from the Medical Department to the mortal realm to practice incarnation."
...
As Bitao ate, she listened to everyone talking. Even she couldn't help but sigh, "This is truly a case of one person attaining enlightenment and even their chickens and dogs ascending to heaven."
If she doesn't ascend to the Xuanxian realm, these servants will be lucky to avoid being ostracized; getting ahead will be extremely difficult.
However, the waiter's purpose in trying to please her at this time is self-evident.
They wanted to win her over, this newly minted immortal.
After the meal, Bitao looked at the recruitment seals sent by various departments, as well as the various gifts congratulating her on her ascension to the Xuanxian realm.
Among them, the three Lei Doubing tribes sent the most valuable gifts, and their recruitment seals were awe-inspiring.
The Ministry of War recruited her as the successor of the Dingwei Divine General among the Six Ding Goddesses, and gave her an ancient meteorite to refine her natal magic weapon.
Doubu recruited her as the successor of the Wood Virtue Year Star Lord. What they gave her was an inexhaustible Spirit Binding Cauldron, filled entirely with the purest wood-attribute immortal spirits. In the Heavenly Realm, immortal spirits are used as currency, so Doubu essentially gave her a treasure trove.
Lei Bu directly recruited her as the Thunder Emperor, and gave her a Five Thunder Bracelet that could be transformed to summon the Five Thunders for her own use.
The Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun Mountain invited her to be her successor, and the gift she gave her was an ancient divine weapon, the "Tiangang" sword, which could suppress evil and dispel falsehood.
The Eastern King of Penglai Island also recruited her as his successor, and the gift he gave her was a token that allowed her free access to Penglai Island.
Most of the inhabitants of Penglai Immortal Island are demons and monsters, with a portion belonging to the Shangqing Realm. This token essentially grants Bitao the right to freely enter and exit the Shangqing Realm via Penglai Immortal Island.
Even the medical and prison departments joined in the fun.
The Medical Department recruited her to be the Imperial Academy Emperor. The entire Imperial Academy was full of emperors, and the highest-ranking immortal in the Heavenly Realm was a True Immortal, but she was only a barely True Immortal at the lower level.
What would a celestial being like her do there? Descend to the mortal realm to deliver babies?
The prison gave her a fertility doll to help her give birth... It is said that after the Nine Heavens Fairy becomes pregnant, this little doll can absorb the pregnancy energy and transform into human form, taking care of the pregnant fairy and even protecting the child in the fairy's womb from a calamity.
It takes a full ninety years for a celestial maiden to conceive a celestial position. Many of the babies born from this process are eventually adopted by the kind-hearted celestial maidens.
However, they are merely spiritual beings created by the Nine Heavens Supervisors; they will never grow up and will never be able to advance in rank.
He was left in the palace to be a little fairy boy who ran errands and relieved boredom.
Bitao played with the chubby, androgynous little doll in her hands for a while, thinking of the three ghost children she had given to her fathers, wondering if they would fight if they got together.
I put it down, feeling both amused and exasperated.
The medical department recruited her to be the successor of the Medical Sage, which at least seemed somewhat reliable, since her wood spirit was indeed suitable for healing.
The medical department gave her a copy of "The Complete Treatise on Herbs and Trees," and before she even opened it, Doctor Wu's eyes widened in amazement.
Bitao was given to him immediately.
Although Bitao is a wood spirit, her offensive abilities outweigh her healing abilities. Just look at how she ascended to the Xuanxian realm and her natal magic weapon evolved into "Thousand Cuts and Ten Thousand Slices," where falling leaves and flying flowers take lives. It's clear that she is not suited to be a healer.
She had no desire to practice medicine or help others.
Finally, she picked up the imperial edict sent by the White Tiger Constellation, which actually recruited her as the successor of the White Tiger Star Lord.
I knew that the White Tiger constellation was one of the Four Symbols, controlling the entire western constellation.
The White Tiger Star Lord's position is the same as the current Star Lord position of the Black Armor, governing the western constellations.
Logically speaking, these star deities who govern the four directions would not easily recruit any successors.
After all, they rarely die, and even if they do, their servants can keep the astrolabe from moving for millions of years.
After the Xuanwu Star Lord performed the sundial ritual, Xuanjia returned to his position as an incarnation god after a long time. During this period, there were no abnormalities in the northern constellations.
Therefore, the Four Spirits do not need any successors. They only need to wait for the main position to be reborn from heaven and earth and return to its rightful place.
The promotion gift sent by the White Tiger Constellation was even more extraordinary.
It is a star chart that can summon the power of the White Tiger constellation.
It's not the actual astrolabe, but a magical artifact containing sealed constellations.
It might be usable once or twice.
However, the magical artifact that sealed the power of the White Tiger Star Chart is already astonishingly powerful.
Moreover, the White Tiger Constellation and the Dipper Department sent their imperial seals separately.
Previously, the Dou Department had divided some star gods among the Bing Department, but now it is clear that internal divisions have also emerged.
Bitao looked at everything, her expression unreadable, and no one could tell which one she preferred.
Zhan Kui and Xuan Jia approached, and Xuan Jia, speaking slowly, poked Zhan Kui.
Zhan Kui said, "I think the successor of the White Tiger Star God is quite good!"
"The second competition was already so difficult, and we don't know how dangerous the third competition will be. You are already a Xuanxian."
Zhan Kui said, "There are so many people who want to harm you, I don't think you need to take any more risks!"
It's safer to keep power and authority firmly in our own hands!
Xuanjia nodded vigorously.
After she was restored to her position as a star deity, her abilities could no longer be measured by celestial rank; she felt that her power was inexhaustible.
It is closely connected to the entire Northern Star Realm, receives offerings from all realms, and has servants to attend to it; one could say it lives a very fulfilling life.
Moreover, the Four Spirit Stars are in their positions and do not need to be on duty at all times. They can leave their posts like this and play around for thousands of years without any problems.
With formidable abilities and a free spirit, this is the wonderful life of a star god who governs a particular region.
Just like the feudal lords who ruled over their own territories in ancient times, not only were they far from the emperor, but the emperor's food, clothing, and daily necessities were sometimes not as good as theirs, and they were not as free.
Therefore, Xuanjia strongly supports Bitao as the successor of the White Tiger constellation.
Bitao looked at her two sisters who were happy for her.
He reached out and patted their little heads.
They're still too naive.
The successor of the White Tiger Star God is indeed excellent in every aspect.
That's just too good.
It was so good that even a single glance at Bitao could tell something was wrong.
There aren't many Xuanxian in the Heavenly Realm, but they're not that rare either.
Moreover, she was born a wild immortal, and recruiting her didn't even come as well as recruiting an ancient immortal clan with a lower immortal rank, which would have brought the benefits of an alliance.
Moreover, Bitao, this mystical immortal, might not even be as capable as the servant of a star god if she goes to his territory.
And the biggest problem is... the White Tiger Star God is still alive.
If Bitao were to seek the power of the stars and go there to become someone's successor, she would probably remain a successor for tens of thousands of years.
Moreover, no matter how powerful the Star Gods are, they are still under the rule of the Heavenly Realm.
The reason why the power of the Star Gods is so strong is that the Heavenly Realm has bestowed upon them the power to govern all realms.
After the Star God commits a crime, the celestial realm only needs to use the celestial wheel to rotate the yin and yang sundial and cut off the supply of his stellar power. The Star God will then be like a shooting star falling from the sky, losing all his divine power and becoming helpless.
Even if Bitao outlives the White Tiger Star God, she will become a "puppet" whose fate is in the hands of others.
Of course, Bitao did not believe that all the star gods in charge of the constellations were puppets.
Star gods who govern a region, uphold peace across all realms, and protect the tranquility of all living beings are the pillars of the entire celestial realm, their virtue matching that of heaven and earth.
However, the fact that a White Tiger Star God, whom she had never met and who lived thousands of miles away, would choose Bi Tao, a wild fairy, as his successor was clearly bait thrown at her.
The Ancient Immortal Clan has really gone all out this time.
They probably thought she was just a madman who craved power because of her statement about standing at the highest point in the heavens.
Bitao almost laughed.
They were afraid that if she continued to participate in the competition and won the third competition, her immortal rank would rise again, and she would enter the realm of the Supreme Immortal, which would be beyond their control.
There are fewer than a hundred Nine Heavens Mystic Immortals, and even fewer Grand Immortals.
If Bitao and Mingguang were to compete for the future position of Immortal Emperor, given Mingguang's current behavior of being "blinded by lust," the outcome would be unpredictable. What if Mingguang were to give up the position?
Those ancient immortals were clearly starting to feel afraid.
They feared that once Bitao became the true ruler, the entire Nine Heavens would be turned upside down, and their ancient immortal clan would suffer endless suppression, be strangled by others, and have no chance of ever rising again.
Therefore, they wanted to first turn Bitao into a "controllable" puppet.
Bitao has been promoted to the position of Xuanxian. Those who were initially afraid that she would take over the list of generals can no longer easily kill or eliminate her using the same methods used against immortals.
Therefore, we can only offer her a sufficiently tempting bait to lure her in.
Whether it is the Thunder Emperor of the Thunder Department, the Six Ding Goddess of the War Department, the successor of the Wood Virtue Star Lord of the Dipper Department, or the successor of the White Tiger Star Lord of the Northern Constellation.
I suspect that even the successors of the Queen Mother of the West are all bait.
To put it bluntly, they simply cannot tolerate a wild fairy ascending to the position of ruler, so now they have no choice but to "cut off their own flesh to feed the tiger" and offer her a truly attractive fairy position to choose from.
Even the boundless power possessed by the Heavenly Dao Kunyi and the Azure Nether Emperor in the Nine Heavens is bound by rules.
Once Bitao steps into the "rules" and takes a position in a certain department, she will inevitably be bound by those rules.
Then we can slowly try to assimilate her. If assimilation fails, we can isolate her. If isolation fails, we can treat her like an ancestor. There will always be a way to control her.
Of course, the medical department and the supervisory department may genuinely want to recruit Bitao to oversee things.
"Say something," Zhan Kui asked. "Which film are you planning to go to?"
"Many people have also sent me imperial edicts. If you go to the Thunder Department to become the Thunder Emperor, I will become the Thunder King. If you go to the Ministry of War to become the Six Ding Goddesses, I will become one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals."
"If you go to the Doubu to become the successor of the Wood De Sui Xingjun, I will go to Guanghan to become his successor!"
Whether Guanghan agrees or not to change their relationship from lovers to a relationship of inheritance is not even within Zhan Kui's consideration. If he disagrees, he will beat him until he agrees.
Zhan Kui said enthusiastically, "If you're going to become the successor of the White Tiger Star Lord, I'll go to Xuanjia's place!"
"If you're going to become the successor of the Queen Mother of the West... you'd better not go there. Kunlun Mountain is too cold!"
Anyway, Zhan Kui thought that wherever Bi Tao went, she would go; whatever Bi Tao did, she would do.
Bitao raised an eyebrow: "I'm not going anywhere."
Zhan Kui: "Then I'll enjoy myself with you in the Palace of All Living Beings, hahaha!"
Bitao chuckled silently.
He then reached out and touched Xuanjia's chin: "I can't go to the White Tiger constellation, so I can't stand guard with you. But you're welcome to come back to the Heavenly Realm anytime. Anyway, you're the master of the Black Tortoise, so you don't have to be here all the time."
Bitao said, "I won't go to any of them."
"In the second competition, none of the candidates who were supposed to take up the positions of generals in the various departments were appointed."
They angered Mingguang, and instead of rising in rank, their immortal status dropped. How could the ancient immortal clan bear to watch Youtian take up the position of immortal with merit?
Bitao said, "There will be another competition."
"I'm going to participate in the final round. I'll decide where to go after everything is over."
Bitao instructed her attendant, "Cuiwei, you are more meticulous. Put these gifts away and make a record of them."
“The imperial edicts and seals sent by various ministries are simply returned as a return gift from the treasury.”
Although it was a bit of a pity for Xuanjia, she, like Zhan Kui, never questioned Bi Tao's decision.
Xuanjia said, "That's right...that White...Tiger...Star...Lord...is...very...strong..."
Xuanjia gestured with her hand to indicate the massive size of her colleague, shook her head, and pursed her lips: "Not... easy... to... die..."
Bitao can't keep being someone else's successor forever.
Upon hearing this, Bitao burst into laughter.
Taiji listened attentively to Bitao's words, and he originally thought that the positions in the Six Ministries were all very high and good.
However, since Fairy Bitao did not choose it, Taiji naturally had no objections.
But when he heard there was another competition, he immediately moved closer to Bitao and said, "I want to participate in the next competition too!"
He absolutely must participate! Only in this way can he protect Fairy Bitao.
Just as Bitao was about to persuade him, a "Gathering of Immortals Order" was suddenly issued on everyone's Silver Net.
The sentencing of those sinful immortals captured these days is about to begin.
Yin Hangu urged everyone to go to the Six Imperial Platforms of Chongxiao to witness the judgment, as a warning to others.
Taiji, having not received Bitao's permission, looked anxious and wanted to say something more.
Bitao raised her hand to interrupt him: "Let's talk about it later."
"Let's go to the Six Imperial Platforms of Chongxiao first."
When the group arrived, most of the immortal positions in the Nine Heavens had already been filled.
The last round of the competition ended in death, and the judgment of the immortal positions was also made on this Six Imperial Platforms of the High Heavens.
Because Bitao sat next to Mingguang, she attracted attention, but also became the subject of gossip and ridicule.
This time, as soon as she appeared, before she even stepped onto the Six Imperial Platforms of Chongxiao, she was already the center of attention.
The waiters and friends behind her also attracted a lot of attention, but no one dared to cast a contemptuous glance at them anymore.
No one dared to whisper to Bitao and the others openly.
Bitao went straight to the place where the immortal Youtian was seated, and sat down to chat with some people she knew.
Zhu Ming stood on the high platform beside the Eastern Prince, looking at Bi Tao from a distance.
Their eyes met, and the same smug look, like a weasel stealing a chicken, flashed in their eyes.
Bitao and her group sat in the Youtian Immortal Seat, but before the real judgment began, Bitao once again walked to the Ancient Immortal Clan's seat.
He sat in the very center of the second round of competition.
Mingguang and Yunchuan were still by her side.
However, things are different now. When the ancient immortals saw Bitao sitting down, they all became tense and vigilant, not daring to reveal the subtle sense of rejection they had shown last time.
As soon as Bitao sat down, Mingguang's gaze immediately fell upon her.
It wasn't a normal glance; it was an intense, blatant stare.
Bitao met his gaze and blinked.
Both of them restrained themselves and did not laugh.
Yun Chuan, who was indifferent to the previous incident, now felt extremely uneasy.
These two living devils falling in love is enough to cause bloodshed throughout the heavens, but it's just too sickeningly sweet!
He had never seen Mingguang truly smile in his entire life. Mingguang didn't look like he was smiling at the moment, but his eyes were smiling. Yun Chuan was close by, and even a glance from him was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
Fortunately, the drums soon sounded, and the pardoning official appeared above the clouds, holding a punishment token.
The murmurs of the crowd gradually subsided amidst the dense drumbeats, and the chilling spiritual pressure emanating from the official in charge of pardoning sins rippled out from the clouds.
Everyone gasped, a profound silence falling over the Six Imperial Platforms of the Heavenly Palace. Not a single person uttered a sound. They all stared intently at the sinful immortals linked together by lightning chains in the clouds.
Awaiting judgment.
Just then, the person sitting upright beside Bitao sent her a secret telepathic message.
A deep, magnetic voice went straight to his mind: "Your dress is beautiful today."
