Library

On the wooden bed, two soft bodies were tightly hugging each other.

With Ruan Yi laying in her hands, Chu Wuyao brushed her back with one of her hands and stared into her eyes.

With her other hand, she pushed her bangs aside and kissed Ruan Yi gently on the forehead.

While doing this, she suddenly remembered something.

"By the way..."

"Who are you?"

It was only then that Chu Wuyao realized that she didn't know anything about this brunette woman, not even her name.

Thinking of the deep bonding experience they had just had, she felt a little embarrassed.

But she swears it was not her fault!

Ruan Yi heard her words and recalled the reason she had come here for.

An awkward silence spread in the room, as Chu Wuyao and Ruan Yi stared silently at each other.

It was only after a little bit of time passed that Ruan Yi answered Chu Wuyao's question.

"Cough... My name is Ruan Yi and I'm also an outer disciple just like you."

"I'm also the follower of Li Ruoshi, the senior sister who attacked you before.", she tried to explain what happened, but was a little anxious of how Chu Wuyao would react when she found out.

"Is that so?", Chu Wuyao wasn't surprised and didn't find it strange at all.

Neither she nor her predecessor had offended anyone other than Li Ruoshi in the entire Original Desire Sect and there was no reason for someone to attack her for no reason.

With this in mind, the way she looked at Ruan Yi changed somewhat.

The two of them had fun before and Chu Wuyao also enjoyed the experience a lot, but no one would feel okay with getting attacked out of nowhere.

Yesterday, her original plan was to interrogate Ruan Yi for information and then send her on her way after she was done.

But now, the accident had already happened and killing her was obviously not an option.

Or at least, Chu Wuyao didn't want to do it unless necessary.

"No wonder authors like to use this plot a lot. It actually works.", she whispered.

"What?", Ruan Yi didn't understand what she was saying.

Chu Wuyao patted her on the back and twisted her short brown hair with her fingers before answering:

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking of how to deal with the current situation.", she generously admitted.

"Actually, I- I only planned to investigate and wasn't planning to attack you.", Ruan Yi tried to defend herself.

Chu Wuyao nodded her head as if she understood, but no one knew whether she believed it or not.

With various thoughts in her mind, she got up from the bed and started dressing up.

Picking up the black dress that had fallen on the ground during their previous fight and putting it away, she took some clothes out of the drawer and she quickly dressed up.

Soon, she had returned to her usual appearance.

Her white hair was flowing like silk and the black dress clung tightly to her figure, looking like nothing had happened.

Walking to the door, she stretched her hand to the handle and opened the door, then turned back to look at Ruan Yi and spoke.

"I'll be leaving for a while. Don't leave the house, otherwise I will not be responsible for whatever happens."

Her words had just fell and she didn't wait for an answer but walked out, closing the door and locking it behind her.

Only Ruan Yi remained in the room, faintly glancing at the door and getting up from the bed.

Her first thought was to escape, but when she felt her still-sealed cultivation and remembered the fight that had just taken place, she sat back down.

"Hey, how did this happen?"

Shaking her head, she sighed and laid down on the bed, closing her eyes.

Shortly after, the sound of faint breathing could be heard in the room.

Outside, Chu Wuyao was carefully sensing the situation inside the house, ready to take action at any time.

When she saw that Ruan Yi didn't try to escape but instead chose to go back to sleep, she smiled slightly and walked away.

****

The Outer Area of the sect is where the outer disciples live and the sect has almost no control over them, not caring about their lives at all.

Still, there are many different facilities opened up by the Original Desire Sect in order to cultivate disciples.

One of them is the Original Library, the place where various techniques, skills and other useful information are placed in.

However, the Original Library is not very popular among the outer disciples.

The Original Desire Sutra that is given to every disciple once they join is a top-notch technique and there are several accompanying skills that perfectly match it.

Each of these skills is enough for the casual cultivators outside the sect to go crazy.

This means that for most outer disciples, the many books in the library are actually worthless.

In addition, to read a book in the library requires contribution points, which every outer disciple basically lacks.

Instead of using these contribution points to learn some worthless skills or useless information, it was better to use them for resources or even for dual cultivation.

When Chu Wuyao arrived at the Original Library, she found that it was almost completely empty.

Not only were there almost no disciples, but there was not even a librarian or a guard.

There were only a few disciples sitting on the desks at the middle of the room, holding books and reading silently.

Chu Wuyao's arrival only attracted a few glances and then their attention turned back to reading.

Chu Wuyao didn't care and remained expressionless when she saw this.

She didn't come here to socialize, but to find some techniques and skills that she needed.

The Original Library was filled with wooden bookcases and there were thousands of books on their shelves, showing just how powerful the Original Desire Sect was.

"This is just the library on the Outer Area of the sect. Just how big is the library in the Inner and Core Area?", Chu Wuyao wondered.

She didn't believe that the sect would put the truly precious techniques and skills here and let the outer disciples freely go through them.

Shaking her head, she suppressed those thoughts and walked to a certain bookcase.

At the top of the bookcase, there was a wooden sign with the words "Body Cultivation Techniques" written in red letters.

Apart from the usual cultivation route, there is also another, less popular way of cultivation, named body cultivation.

As the name suggests, body cultivation focuses solely on strengthening the body, while normal cultivation is mostly accompanied by various skills.

Chu Wuyao still remembered that one of the conditions to unlock the Devil Race was to increase her physical strength and body cultivation was the easiest way to do so.

Stretching out her hand, she picked one of the books and read the introduction on its cover.

[Hundreds of Poisons Body: Through soaking their body in various poisons, the practitioner can increase their physical strength and become immune to most poisons.]

Without hesitation, Chu Wuyao put it back on the shelf.

She had heard of many cultivators that used poisons to practice in the past and most of them didn't have a good ending.

Chu Wuyao wasn't planning to die anytime soon.

Then, she picked up the book next to it.

[Indestructible Immortal Body: Through getting constantly beaten up, the practitioner can increase their physical strength. The resistance on the more sensitive areas is particularly powerful.]

Reading this, Chu Wuyao couldn't help but wonder if the creator of this technique was a masochist.

Otherwise, no normal person would practice this technique, let alone create it.

While cursing its creator inwardly, she put the book back on the self and went on to pick up the next to one.

Her actions didn't stop there and she continued reading the books, not in a hurry to make a choice.

She knew that the technique that a cultivator practices is very important, and Chu Wuyao wanted to find the technique that suited her the best.
