Xiao Qingxuan closed her eyes and regulated her breathing, ignoring her Shizun rambling on beside her, enthusiastically sharing her lecherous experiences.
She was long accustomed to her Shizun’s unorthodox style. Or rather, within their Emotionless Sword Dao Lineage, there weren’t many normal people to begin with.
Within the Emotionless Sword Dao Lineage, she was already considered relatively normal.
In the next moment, she felt a strand of incomparably pure Emotionless Sword Qi pour into her Dantian. Her somewhat damaged Dao Foundation actually began to slowly repair itself.
It was only after a long while that she slowly opened her eyes.
“Thank you, Shizun.”
The Dao Foundation is the innate origin. As the Dao Integration Realm Dao Venerable of the Emotionless Sword Dao Lineage, Feng Linyi could easily repair Xiao Qingxuan’s Dao Foundation.
If it were any other Dao Venerable from a different field, they would need to expend considerable effort to repair her Sword Dao Foundation.
Feng Linyi waved her hand indifferently, her frivolous expression gradually turning somewhat serious.
“Never mind these minor injuries for now.”
“Tell your Shizun, what is the matter with your Heart Devil?”
As the person with the highest cultivation in the current generation’s Emotionless Sword Dao, Feng Linyi knew well that the biggest weakness of this lineage was the Heart Devil.
Whether it was slaying enemies or breaking techniques, the Emotionless Sword Dao was considered top-tier.
Even if the body was injured and True Qi exhausted, as long as one maintained a heartless, emotionless state, the recovery speed could be several times faster than cultivators of the same realm.
But once one succumbed to a Heart Devil, they could no longer infuse their emotions into the sword, and their entire abilities would be barely a tenth of their former strength.
“I…”
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Qingxuan explained Ye Luqing’s situation.
“I see.” Feng Linyi nodded.
“Memory loss is indeed a bit troublesome. But luckily, you got the Dream-Building Lotus, didn’t you?”
“That little toy’s effect is quite good. Whatever you want Little Qing to become, she can become.”
“Do you need your Shizun to intervene? I’ll help you control the Dream-Building Lotus. Then, whatever you want her to do, she’ll have to do. Catgirl outfit, black and white silk stockings, naked blade robe—no problem!”
Feng Linyi chuckled lewdly. If she were given a Dream-Building Lotus, she could definitely play out all sorts of fantasies.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Qingxuan opened her mouth to ask:
“Shizun, if it was Shishu Bai whose memories had disappeared, would you control the Dream-Building Lotus to fabricate her memories?”
Hearing this, Feng Linyi put away the joking expression on her face.
“Good disciple, you really dare to ask.”
“Heh, if it were Little Bai…”
A sharp, cold light flashed in the depths of her eyes. The sword light around her body flickered erratically; her entire aura was restrained yet brimming with sharpness, like a suppressed cloud before a thunderstorm.
Even Xiao Qingxuan, at the Half-Step Spirit Transformation Stage, felt a sense of danger, as if the next moment she would be sliced to pieces by invisible Sword Qi. She subconsciously took half a step back.
Xiao Qingxuan silently watched Feng Linyi. Before her Shizun achieved the Dao Integration Realm as a Dao Venerable, their Emotionless Sword Dao was once considered a heretical path.
Killing wives, slaughtering children, butchering grandchildren, even massacring one’s entire family… The more heartless the actions, the further one could walk on the Emotionless Sword Dao.
This heretical behavior only improved after Feng Linyi became the Venerable Void Slasher and took control of this lineage’s Grand Dao.
Feng Linyi was indeed a Sword Dao genius rarely seen in ten thousand years. After becoming a Dao Venerable, not only was she not influenced by the Heavenly Dao, but she single-handedly changed the Heavenly Dao instead.
Even so, Feng Linyi was still inevitably affected by the negative impressions of the Emotionless Sword Dao.
According to some of the elders within the sect, Feng Linyi in her youth, at the same age as Xiao Qingxuan was now, had been far more cold and indifferent.
That was why she had reminded this Shizun of hers: A-Qing’s importance in her heart was not as a mere wooden doll to be manipulated at will.
A moment later, the clear light in Feng Linyi’s eyes dimmed, and her expression returned to its usual carefree look.
“Alright, you don’t want me to interfere, so I won’t bother with this matter.”
“Let’s return to the sect first. I need to go find Little Bai to vent some fire!”
“Jie jie jie…”
With a wicked smirk all over her face, she flexed her long, dexterous fingers and lightly tapped Xiao Qingxuan’s brow. The latter instantly felt the world spin, transforming into a cluster of clear light and flying into Feng Linyi’s sleeve.
Casually tossing down a few Spirit Stones as compensation for the flying boat’s damage, she transformed into a beam of sword light and flew back south.
In the sky above, she looked in the direction of the Profound Firmament Upper Sect, past events flooding her heart.
“Good disciple, things are different now than they were before,” she said softly.
“Back in my day, your teacher was forced to the point of needing to prove my Dao on Little Bai…”
…………
Azure Sky Peak, by the Emerald Water Lake.
After getting Ying Qianqian settled, Ye Luqing walked to the bedroom door.
While bathing, she had wanted to chat a bit more with Little Ying, but the other girl had fallen into a deep sleep again.
Left with no choice, she had dried Ying Qianqian off and carried her to the bed to rest.
What, you ask why I didn’t just use a household spell, but instead got handsy with the pink-haired soft loli?
Because I crave the pink furball’s body, I’m honest about it!
“Goodnight…”
Ye Luqing glanced back at Little Ying’s angelic sleeping face, then slowly walked out of the room.
Tonight, she planned to sleep in the side room and let Ying Qianqian sleep in the main bedroom.
After all, she had just learned the Lewd Trio and still couldn’t control her True Qi well. What if she subconsciously activated her Dual Cultivation True Qi and got pounced on by Little Ying with an “Older Sister, you smell so good”?
And for some reason, whenever she stayed in the master bedroom, she always felt her right eyelid twitching violently, like some kind of ill omen.
Arriving at the side room, Ye Luqing didn’t rush to sleep. Instead, she opened the System to check the so-called Technique Chain Diagram.
To her surprise, the chain diagram didn’t just contain [Dual Cultivation Sacred Body]; there were many things she hadn’t seen before.
[Water-Wood Dao Body (Primary) (6/6): Doubles the recovery speed of Water and Wood attribute True Qi]
[Formation Dao Genius (Intermediate) (8/8): Slightly increases formation activation speed and True Qi efficiency]
[Support Specialist (Intermediate) (8/8): Slightly increases the effectiveness of support-type formations]
Besides these three, there were other chain diagrams nearly filled. She would only need to learn one or two missing techniques.
She clicked on these diagrams; the techniques displayed inside were all ones that Ye Luqing originally possessed.
Looking at the System’s prompts, she couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
These were all good means to increase combat power, either accelerating cultivation speed or being directly usable in battle.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt confident again.
So what if she’s the Daughter of Destiny? She had the System’s golden finger.
Scrolling further down, in the middle section of the chain diagram, she finally found the so-called “Dual Cultivation Sacred Body.”
[Dual Cultivation Sacred Body (Mid-Level) (3/6): Slightly increases the effect of Dual Cultivation techniques, reduces the comprehension required to learn Dual Cultivation techniques (Inactive)]
[Activation Requirements: Learn Binding Silk Art, Mist Crossing Hand, Layered Flower Shadows, Minor Mind Bewilderment Art…]
Looking at this slightly outrageous effect, Ye Luqing fell silent.
To say it was bad—it not only increased technique power but also reduced the comprehension needed to learn techniques.
To say it was good—it only worked on techniques related to Dual Cultivation.
But soon, Ye Luqing stopped worrying. Besides the Lewd Trio she currently mastered, the remaining few required techniques were all Earth Rank quality, and there was even a Middle Earth-Tier technique.
Her talent in Dual Cultivation was far worse than her talent in Formation Arts. Even with the “Magnetic Charm” buff, learning was still so difficult. Middle Earth-Tier would at least have to wait until she broke through to Nascent Soul to learn.
Anyway, she couldn’t complete the “Dual Cultivation Sacred Body” in the short term, so there was no need to dwell on it.
Just as she was about to scroll the System panel back up to look at the effects of the other chain diagrams, a sound originating from her soul suddenly caught her attention.
She had set up a defensive spell array in the master bedroom where Little Ying was sleeping—someone had triggered it!
