From private room Tianzi Room 1 came sounds that would leave one blushing.
Senior Brother, don't mind me!
Ji Mingyue sat cross-legged on the bed.
She could only feel a strong warm current wandering around her body.
This stream of Spiritual Energy was warm, gentle, and full of vitality.
As if it could nurture life itself.
As this warm current flowed all over Ji Mingyue's body, she could feel her body becoming lighter and lighter. Fragrant sweat fell off from her, drip by drip.
The entire process was indescribably comfortable!
At this moment, however, Li Hanguang was feeling a little awful.
I'm just a level 4 at the Spiritual Qi Refinement stage!
That's all the Spiritual Energy that I have!
Never heard of this before?
What's more!
Li Hanguang was no saint.
It was already difficult to control his Spiritual Energy while watching his half-naked Junior Sister!
This is a serious struggle!
Junior Sister, please don't guide your Senior Brother into doing something wrong!
Li Hanguang felt that he was already doing his best to suppress the devil in his heart.
If his Junior Sister did not tone down what she was doing, he could not guarantee what he would do!
...
Forget it, I'll just get it done quickly!
With that in mind, Li Hanguang squinted his eyes slightly!
At the same time, Li Hanguang took out the top-grade Metal Spiritual Root from the Bronze Mark at the fastest speed, merged it into Ji Mingyue's body along her palms.
Ji Mingyue's face flushed, drenched in fragrant perspiration. "I finally felt the pain. Senior Brother, has it begun?"
Li Hanguang's face was slightly pale. "It has ended."
Ji Mingyue: "???"
Li Hanguang smiled. "Now, try to cycle your technique."
Ji Mingyue was hesitant.
She took a deep breath, cycled her technique, and absorbed the Spiritual Energy from Heaven and Earth.
Immediately, the Metal Spiritual Root that was white in color surged into Ji Mingyue's body like rivers flowing in a sea.
"So fast!"
Ji Mingyue said in shock, "My cultivation speed has increased several times!"
Originally, she only had a mid-grade Metal Spiritual Root.
Even with the Ethereal State of Mind and the Peaceful State of Mind's assistance, her cultivation speed still could not rival that of geniuses with high-grade Spiritual Roots.
But at this moment, Ji Mingyue felt that she was completely reborn.
Without using her two states of mind, her absorption speed of Metal Spiritual Energy had already exceeded that of before.
was this the talent of a high-grade Spiritual Root?
Looking at Ji Mingyue who was full of joy and hastily absorbing Spiritual Energy, Li Hanguang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Frankly speaking, helping Ji Mingyue purify her body with Elemental Spiritual Energy at this time was even more difficult than Li Hanguang imagined.
The loss of his own Spiritual Energy was a trivial matter. Mainly, it was because of the amount of torture he had to suffer mentally.
He was afraid that if he could not stand the temptation and funneled his energy into the wrong meridians, he would die on this embroidered bed of the Embracing Moon Brothel.
After all, Elemental Spiritual Energy was not that easy to control. One single mistake might cause all five elements to collide and explode!
...
Thank goodness!
Everything went well this time.
Next time…
Yeah, there won't be a next time!
Li Hanguang clandestinely cycled his breathing, absorbed the Spiritual Energy of all five elements, and turned them into Elemental Spiritual Energy to fill up what he had depleted.
At this moment, however, Ji Mingyue was gazing at Li Hanguang with affection in her beautiful eyes.
Senior Brother looks so exhausted!
From having the demeanor of a Fallen Celestial to the pale face he had on right now, it was evident that Senior Brother Li had damaged his vitality.
This is all because of me!
With that in mind, Ji Mingyue's heart that had remained quiet for three years trembled slightly.
Without even putting on her clothes, she turned around and looked at Li Hanguang. "I can never repay your kindness, Senior Brother."
Li Hanguang smiled. "If marrying me is what you're trying to imply, then you need to work harder."
A pledge to marry and whatnot could not be considered as a repayment of favor!
Li Hanguang even refused Ye Chengying who had a top-grade Wood Spiritual Root, there's no need to speak of Ji Mingyue who only had a high-grade Spiritual Root.
If Ji Mingyue awakened her Miaoyin Celestial Body, perhaps Li Hanguang might consider her.
But right now, she was totally unworthy of him!
...
Li Hanguang's words did not make Ji Mingyue sad. She seemed to have expected it.
Ji Mingyue laughed at herself. "I live in a brothel and have a humble status. How would I dare to hope for that kind of favor?
"Three years ago, I made an oath, saying that my life and my body belong to you. As long as you don't mind my humble background, I will not ask you to marry me. I only hope that you can think of me occasionally and let me serve you with all my heart.
"If so, there will be nothing more I want in this life."
The girl's voice was very firm. It seemed that this was the belief she had long held and she had held it above all else.
If other men heard Ji Mingyue's words, they would probably go crazy with jealousy!
After all, Ji Mingyue was their dream lover.
The 16-year-old girl was not only a beauty that was above all. Due to her many years playing the zither, she exuded a cold and elegant temperament from head to toe.
If people were to acquire a Cultivation Partner like her, they would even be willing to sacrifice ten or twenty years of their life in exchange.
At this moment, as long as Li Hanguang nodded his head, this woman, whom countless men were obsessed with, would serve him wholeheartedly. And he would not have to bear any responsibility for her at all!
Who would not be tempted by this?
The atmosphere became a little silent.
Seeming to have exhausted all of her strength, Ji Mingyue was staring at Li Hanguang blankly.
Like a maid who signed a contract to sell herself, she was waiting for her destiny to unfold.
...
All of a sudden, Li Hanguang smiled.
He looked at Ji Mingyue and said calmly, "If you catch a bird and trap it in a cage just because you love it, then you're not a true bird lover.
"If you snap a flower and play with it with your hands just because you love it, you're not a true flower lover!"
Ji Mingyue looked at Li Hanguang.
She seemed to have understood something, but at the same time, it felt as if she had understood nothing.
Li Hanguang continued, "You are a flower bud with infinite possibilities. You should be given the freedom to bloom so that everyone in the world will be amazed by your graceful bearing.
"If you are picked before you bloom and placed in a vase, that will be an insult to you and also to me."
Ji Mingyue's body trembled slightly. She laughed at herself. "I'm not worthy of such compliments from you."
"If you are ashamed of yourself, then you are questioning my insight."
With a smile on his face, Li Hanguang picked up Ji Mingyue's outer clothing and covered her bare body that was as white as snow.
Subsequently, he turned around and walked out of the room.
There seemed to be no lingering emotions at all.
He left behind only his gentle voice that echoed in the empty room for a long time.
"Lovers for flowering plants and shrubs have we had by scores,
"How stainless it rises from its slimy bed, how modestly it reposes in the clear pond!
"Symmetrically perfect, its subtle perfume wafts far and wide while it rests in a spotless state,
"Something to be regarded reverently at a distance and not profaned by familiar approach."
...
Staring at Li Hanguang's receding figure, Ji Mingyue stood still in place.
Stainless it rises from its slimy bed, how modestly it reposes in the clear pond~
Something to be regarded reverently at a distance and not profaned by familiar approach~
Did Senior Brother Li write this especially for me?
Ji Mingyue muttered these sentences repeatedly and seemed to finally understand something.
Two rows of tears fell from her beautiful countenance.
"Yes," she cried, "Oh no, it is a pure girl that Senior Brother likes!
"Was I too coquettish just now?!"
