Chapter 461 - 402: I Refuse!

Lin Qingci stood in front of Chu Huaixu, listening to his words. Her poised face, with its slight sternness, immediately showed a hint of shyness and embarrassment.

Her pretty face flushed slightly, and her gaze no longer met his, instead shifting away.

After all, she was still a virgin woman.

Speaking of giving her primal yin to him in front of others naturally made her feel extremely awkward at this moment.

She was already barefoot, and now even felt like curling her toes into the ground.

Yet for some reason, as her heartbeat accelerated, this forbidden act, this rebellious move, suddenly caused this saintly State Preceptor, who had been living a traditional life, to feel some strange ripples in her heart lake.

"State Preceptor." Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but call out a few times upon seeing her zoning out: "State Preceptor!"

It was only then that the Female State Preceptor came back to her senses and said, "Daoist Chu, it’s just some words meant to provoke the Ancestor Emperor, don’t take them seriously, nor to heart."

Chu Huaixu nodded slightly at her words, without asking further.

But in fact, considering the Ancestor Emperor’s previous words and Lin Qingci’s current unusual reaction, he could already guess most of what was going on.

He hadn’t expected that this woman, who looked more like a "Terra Mater", with the so-called peace and prosperity face, and who appeared extremely dignified, could say something like this just to provoke the Ancestor Emperor.

This reminded him of everything that happened in the Emperor’s Pool.

At first, after dealing with the Emperor’s Divine Thought within the pool, facing the sultry body pouncing towards him, his heart disdained the Ancestor Emperor a thousand times over.

This old pervert really planned ahead, preparing a "celebration feast" for himself, and it was even a human feast.

To engage in such pleasure right after possession, seems like the long millennia have driven this old thing batty.

Lately, it was the system prompt that informed him the revered Moon Country State Preceptor actually cultivates a technique called "Wedding Garment"!

This is an Evil Skill.

It’s a Cultivation Technique invented by Evil Cultivators specifically to absorb the power of others.

Female cultivation is all that is required, then taking their primal yin can bring benefits, much like the Absorption Technique, absorbing from him.

It’s even more absurd that with such a lowly Evil Skill, Lin Qingci managed to cultivate to the Eighth Realm...

Truly innate talent, indeed absurdly unique.

Although the Ancestor Emperor played the role of "grandpa", her high cultivation aptitude is also evident from this.

Based on the system’s prompt, Chu Huaixu realized he somewhat misunderstood the Ancestor Emperor.

This old thing was not just venting for the sake of it.

He actually left a shortcut after possession for his own self.

Hence, Chu Huaixu’s current hypothesis is: "So, the Ancestor Emperor thought I and Lin Qingci dual cultivated that day?"

"And she acknowledged this to provoke that old man?"

With this notion, he looked at the Female State Preceptor beside him with a slight change in gaze.

Did you really say that to the Ancestor Emperor?

Curse it, when can we men stand up!

——Lin Qingci, what a nerve to slander me!

...

...

Time passed, the Female State Preceptor stayed at Junzi Temple for three more days.

Chu Huaixu would heal her once every three days, and every three days, also heal Zhong Ming once.

After the Cat Demon incident, he remained vigilant towards Zhong Ming.

Nonetheless, some issues perhaps could only find answers from him and that hearing-impaired fat cat.

During this period, he asked Xiang Yan to send Flying Sword Communication to Spring and Autumn Mountain, so the moment the Cat Demon returned to the Sect, Spring and Autumn Mountain would promptly notify the Daoist Sect.

Yet all this time, the fat cat remained dormant.

In the Training Room, Chu Huaixu lowered his left hand, completing another healing session for Lin Qingci.

The two opened their eyes, he looked at her and said: "State Preceptor, given the current situation, three more sessions should completely eliminate the backlash in your Sea of Consciousness."

The Female State Preceptor displayed a rare smile on her face.

To be honest, someone always with a stern face looks quite pleasant when smiling.

Chu Huaixu could indeed tell she was more relaxed than before.

Perhaps because the shackles were destroyed.

But he also often noticed Lin Qingci zoning out.

It seemed she was quite confused.

Being like a caged bird for so long, finally being free, she’s unsure of where to fly now.

However, spending these days at the Daoist Sect, Lin Qingci felt quite secure.

When she looked at Chu Huaixu now, her gaze contained some peculiarity.

Of course, there was more gratitude in her eyes.

And at this moment, Chu Huaixu heard the long-absent sound of the system prompt in his ears.

"[Ding! You have successfully triggered a random task - healing Lin Qingci.]"

"[There’s a certain probability of unlocking a hidden task reward - Gratitude from Lin Qingci.]"

The Dead Fox hadn’t received a task for quite a while.

Unexpectedly, one activated now.

Even more unexpected was that apart from this chance to unlock a hidden reward, the system didn’t provide any extra reward.

"Come on! What about Experience Points!"

This left Chu Huaixu, who was desperately short on Experience Points and eager to advance to the Fifth Realm, slightly annoyed.

"Aren’t Experience Points supposed to come with every task!"

This also suggested that the reward named "Gratitude from Lin Qingci" might be quite generous?

"Could this task reward be..."

With this thought, Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but raise his eyes and size up Lin Qingci.

Then he quickly averted his gaze.

"What’s the matter, Daoist Chu." The Female State Preceptor asked.

"Ahem, nothing." Chu Huaixu responded with some embarrassment.

Oh system, please don’t play tricks on me!

The session had ended, and the two rose, leaving the Training Room.

However, Chu Huaixu speculated in his heart: "She probably doesn’t know I am aware she practices ’Wedding Garment’."

This must be her deepest secret.

It was just that after taking an aphrodisiac, she intended to transfer her power to me but the system detected it.

At this moment, the two had just taken a few steps forward when sounds echoed from the skies above.

"Xiahou Yue requests to meet Chu Leader!"

Outside the Mountain Protection Array, Moon Country’s strongest Xiahou Yue stood suspended in the air, calling out.

For a moment, it caused a stir among the Outer Sect and Inner Sect of the Daoist Sect.

A large number of Daoist disciples started to discuss.

"Why did the National Guardian of Moon Country come personally?"

"And he’s asking to meet Chu Leader!"

"Indeed, his address is also Chu Leader, seems quite respectful."

"Truly worthy of being Direct Disciple Chu!"

As for Chu Huaixu, he was also momentarily stunned.

But he quickly came to his senses.

And thus, he turned with a smile to the Female State Preceptor beside him and said:

"There you go! Your old emperor may have the same needs as you, State Preceptor."

Old fool, you’re trying to betray your teacher and ancestors.

However, in Chu Huaixu’s heart, Lin Qingci and the old emperor were still distinct.

Not because of the Emperor’s Pool and its allure, leading him to treat Lin Qingci differently.

Strictly speaking, it’s purely because she’s somewhat a victim.

The Ancestor Emperor not only wanted to seize part of her cultivation but also steal her feminine purity.

But the old emperor is different; whether in the possession of Chu Huaixu or Prince Rui’s Heir Qin Xuexiao forcing Old Niu to death, he was an accomplice.

Whether he did so voluntarily or not, is still undetermined.

"But what does this have to do with me?"

Because the outcome of this matter meant if Chu Huaixu hadn’t had the Resurrection Coin, he’d be dead.

And Old Niu, to protect him, also kneeled before Qin Xuexiao in front of thousands and committed suicide!

"Speaking of which, Xiahou Yue at the Martial Arts Arena then was no less involved." Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but snort coldly in his heart.

So, an unexpected scene occurred.

The Moon Country’s top master traveled afar, floating through the air with the utmost sincerity to meet Chu Leader.

But his reply was Chu Huaixu channeling Spiritual Power, echoing to the heavens:

"Not meeting."
