After Mo Xueyi left, Li Chen assumed a lotus posture and closed his eyes.
Instantly, he appeared in his sea of consciousness, from which he was tranported to the star realm.
The moment he completed one cycle of energy circulation, a sense of comfort washed over him.
Though his eyes weren't open, he could see two stars slowly filling up. Their progress was rather pitiful.
Time slowly trickled by and maidservants would whisper to each other as they passed by. An entire day went by in a twinkle of an eye yet Li Chen remained cross-legged.
Suddenly, a melodic sound from the strings of a zither slithered into his ears, dragging him out of his trance-like state.
Li Chen opened his eyes and saw Xiu Ying below the peach tree playing a zither. The musical instrument lay on her lap, a dream spot for countless men, while her slender fingers plucked the strings, producing a fascinating melody.
[So you also play the zither.] Li Chen marveled.
