Question:

Would Xu Yuan intervene if this enchantingly beautiful courtesan really intended to commit suicide before his eyes?

Three,

Two,

One.

The answer is no.

As a man with normal sensations, Xu Yuan would probably feel regret if such a stunning woman died in front of him, but he would definitely not intervene.

Before entering this bamboo garden, he had already learned the identity of Su Jinxuan, naturally setting his mental expectations accordingly.

If this courtesan who had come specifically for him wanted to commit suicide, he would most likely watch with a smile.

Watching her overacting over there, looking pitiful, showing helpless defiance, playing her part until she embarrassed herself.

As a person who had been intimately in touch with death numerous times, Xu Yuan did not believe that Su Jinxuan would end her life so decisively given a choice.

But now, the psychological expectations Xu Yuan had made all turned into a joke.

Seeing this woman, he couldn’t walk the path he had intended.

Had he not set a clear strategy in his mind before entering this bamboo garden,

he might have followed her lead the moment she mentioned “musical notes.”

Even though he had prior knowledge of what to do, Xu Yuan was still influenced by the emotions stirring in his heart when it came time to act.

Heartache, fear of loss, and finally intervention.

This was not normal, but Xu Yuan could not recognize it at the time.

It wasn’t until Blood Essence Meteoring Art began to operate that Xu Yuan suddenly realized his aberration.

His emotions were being stirred by that woman.

Upon closer examination, Xu Yuan was shocked to find

that his Will-spirit’s surface was coated with floaty particulate matter.

These particles did not trigger any discomfort upon appearing, were sparsely spread over the surface of the Will-spirit, and seemed to blend in seamlessly.

When he consciously sensed them, Xu Yuan noticed these floaty particles were actually moving.

They were desperately burrowing into his Will-spirit.

However, this burrowing did not cause Xu Yuan any discomfort.

On the contrary, the aura emanating from these floaty particles even gave Xu Yuan a sense of comfort.

It was just unfortunate that, even without any defenses, the concentration of his Innate Soul Body still prevented these invisible particles from penetrating for quite a while.

The Su Jinxuan in front of him obviously had no cultivation, just like in the original story, otherwise Zhou Chen wouldn’t have wished him prosperity in martial fortune before leaving.

But it happened anyway.

This world had not only Origin Qi cultivation but also such strange methods of attack?

Realizing this, Xu Yuan opened his mouth wanting to alert someone.

A duel?

That’s out of the question.

I have a bodyguard.

But just as he was about to speak out, Xu Yuan found he could not say a word.

“…..” Xu Yuan.

He sensed that the particulate matter clinging to his Will-spirit’s surface suddenly began to undulate rhythmically.

And with the fluctuations of these substances, Xu Yuan felt himself gradually losing control of his body.

He could see, hear, and all five senses were normal, but he couldn’t speak or move; he could only stand there silently.

Su Jinxuan lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, a seductive light faintly glowing in her peach blossom eyes, as she gently pressed on her swollen wrist, her voice carrying a hint of grievance:

“Third Young Master, what is this…”

As soon as her voice fell, the undulations of the particulate matter became more intense.

The next moment, Xu Yuan’s body moved on its own, slightly smiling and interrupting:

“Eh…

Jinxuan.”

As he spoke, Xu Yuan’s body walked towards Jinxuan:

“I didn’t want to treat you like that just now, it’s just that I was afraid Jinxuan might do something rash, I hope you won’t blame me.”

“…”

Su Jinxuan was silent for a moment, then slowly raised her eyes to look at Xu Yuan.

The sunlight filtered through the window lattice, illuminating half of Su Jinxuan’s enchantingly beautiful face in shadow and half in light.

With their eyes locked, Xu Yuan faintly saw waves of peach blossoms well up in her eyes…

Amidst his bewitched state of mind, unaware of how much floaty particulate matter landed on the surface of his Will-spirit.

Her tone carried a slight plea:

“Third Young Master, with your esteemed status, Jinxuan wouldn’t dare hold any blame towards you, I only ask that you don’t force Jinxuan to do things she doesn’t want to do.”

“Force?”

Following the conversation, Xu Yuan’s body sat back down on the cushion, chuckling:

“That depends on your performance.

If you can interest me, I might spend a little more time with you.

“Heh, this tea is too bland, someone, bring me wine.”

“….”

“….”

The discussion between the two moved from Xu Yuan’s direct requests to the usual playful banter between a young master and a courtesan.

Drinking together, listening to music, discussing musical rhythms, and some street anecdotes.

The bizarre scene of his body talking and moving on its own caused a flicker of panic in Xu Yuan’s heart.

However, this panic was quickly replaced by the habitual calm he felt in such situations.

The situation before him couldn’t have been clearer.

This Su Jinxuan was buying time.

She needed enough time for those eerie floaty particles to burrow into his Will-spirit.

As for the consequences of letting these substances in…

Xu Yuan thought of the original body’s performance in the plot that seemed crazed.

Tch, playing a god, huh?

This kind of consciousness control was too bizarre, and lacking experience, Xu Yuan couldn’t find any countermeasures for a while.

As time ticked away, Xu Yuan felt the surface of his Will-spirit become densely covered with those strange floaty particles.

But, helplessly resistant to the toughness of the Innate Soul Body, these things had never been able to penetrate into his will-spirit.

A sense of powerlessness gradually surged in his heart.

The clueless feeling and the perception of those floating particles caused Xu Yuan’s thoughts to start becoming chaotic.

Since crossing over to this time, Xu Yuan felt he had been cautious enough, but reality slapped him in the face.

He wasn’t cautious; rather, he was arrogant.

Knowing there was something off with Su Jinxuan, he still chose to come alone.

The reason he did so was not only because Ying’er was there to protect him, but more so because having had a God’s perspective in the past made him feel he could control this enchanting woman by himself.

How foolish.

Arrogance beyond redemption.

Regret was useless.

Gathering his scattered thoughts forcefully, Xu Yuan began to search through his memory for anything useful from the beginning to the end.

Ying’er had not yet intervened, clearly unable to sense the danger he was in.

Now, he had to save himself.

As his thoughts continued, Xu Yuan thought of the Blood Essence Meteoring Art.

The Blood Essence Meteoring Art was complex and profound, but it was all about methods of using Origin Qi; there was only a basic sensing and gathering of Origin Qi for the will-spirit.

Even though the efficiency of these methods was far beyond ordinary cultivation techniques, they were of no help in the current situation.

Some helplessness arose, but more of it was despair.

This Blood Essence Meteoring Art could create both an Innate Constitution and an Innate Soul Body, but was the latter merely serving the former’s cultivation speed?

During cultivation, it seemed reasonable as he thought that Origin Qi cultivation determined everything.

But it seemed there were other forces in this world aside from Origin Qi cultivation.

Looking at it this way, this Blood Rank cultivation technique also seemed too narrow in scope…

Wait a second.

Technique?

Xu Yuan’s thoughts paused briefly.

He suddenly remembered the Nameless Secret Technique that came with the Blood Essence Meteoring Art.

In those early days of studying in the cave dwelling, Xu Yuan didn’t know how many times he had read these two secret techniques together.

But, because a person’s energy is limited, Xu Yuan poured all his energy into cultivating Origin Qi and thus set it aside.

It was like finding a glimmer of light for someone drowning in darkness.

Xu Yuan’s spirit was suddenly invigorated as he began to recall the contents of that Nameless Secret Technique.

As the recollections gradually surfaced, Xu Yuan realized that it truly was a secret technique for cultivating the will-spirit.

And it was of the offensive type.

The method of attack was simple and could be described in two words: Devouring.

Besides the conventional tempering of the will-spirit, it allowed the cultivator to grow stronger by directly devouring the will-spirit of others.

Ordinary cultivators wouldn’t dare do this, as they would likely go insane from the repulsion between different will-spirits, but not those with an Innate Soul Body.

It perfectly matched the characteristics of the Innate Soul Body’s will-spirit refinement.

With this thought, Xu Yuan’s spirit slightly relaxed.

Without any hesitation, he immediately began to immerse himself in studying the cultivation logic and methods of this technique.

In cultivation, there is no sense of time.

Time passed without knowing how long, and Xu Yuan cast his spirit out from the Sea of Consciousness to the outside world once more.

The sky had changed, the sunlight gone, a full moon hung high, and its clear light scattered through the bamboo forest into the room, while his body was still conversing with Su Jinxuan.

The tense atmosphere between the two during the day was gone, and as they bantered with laughter, their gazes seemed to flirt.

The intoxicating scent of sandalwood wafted through the air as Su Jinxuan brought her self-directed conversation to an end.

With a slight blush from the wine adding to her allure, she said with a smile, glancing at the moonlight outside,

“Third Young Master, it’s getting late.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s body chuckled, reaching out to grab her slender wrist,

“It is indeed late, Jin Xuan, a single moment of springtime is worth a thousand pieces of gold.”

Su Jinxuan’s expression stiffened just right, allowing him to pull her along with a soft tone,

“Third Young Master, you said earlier you wouldn’t force Jin Xuan, didn’t you?”

“…”

The body was silent for a moment, then he sighed softly,

“Alright…

as you wish, tonight I won’t touch you, but you need to let me stay here.”

“But…” Su Jinxuan seemed to want to say more.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan’s body frowned immediately.

Seemingly helpless, Su Jinxuan nodded lightly,

“Mhm…

then Jin Xuan will trust the Third Young Master’s character.

However, we should sleep with our clothes on…”

“…Alright~ I’ll do as you say, Jin Xuan.”

“…..”

Listening to their conversation, Xu Yuan could hardly contain himself.

Self-directed and acted, it would be a pity if this woman didn’t become a playwright.

But this dialogue let Xu Yuan know that his current state could not withstand detailed scrutiny, and most likely he couldn’t stray too far from Su Jinxuan.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let him stay the night.

After speaking, Su Jinxuan called for the maids to bring a copper basin for the two of them to wash up.

With the lamp extinguished amidst the bamboo, only the moonlight gently spilled into the room through the window lattices.

Pulling back the bed curtains, both lay on the bed fully clothed, feeling the softness of the bedding, Xu Yuan inhaled the light fragrance of the woman beside him, and his vision fell into darkness. novelbuddy.cσ๓

But a few breaths later, his body suddenly moved, turning to gently wrap around the boneless, delicate body next to him.

After a two-second silence,

Her voice trembled slightly,

“Thi..

Third Young Master.”

Xu Yuan’s body replied softly,

“Sleep.”

“…..”

As thoughts flashed by, Xu Yuan collected his spirit.

The Nameless Secret Technique began to circulate in the stillness of the dark…
