Chapter 256: Indeed, it’s not easy

“Did Master Xu tell Lady Qingwan about the two of us going through that intimate encounter? I reckon he didn’t, right?

Master Xu probably doesn’t have the guts to tell Lady Qingwan about this sort of thing…

But let me ask you, how long do you plan to keep this from her? And what do you think will happen when Immortal Maiden Qin finds out about all this?”

Mo Zhu’er smiled as she gazed at Xu Ming, her voice softly caressing his cheeks while her other hand had already slipped inside his shirt.

That bone-melting allure began to seep into Xu Ming’s body through Mo Zhu’er’s spiritual energy.

Xu Ming silently recited the Three Gods Tranquil Heart Formula in his mind.

As expected, the Three Gods Tranquil Heart Formula effectively resisted Mo Zhu’er’s attempt to infiltrate Xu Ming’s consciousness.

“Hmm?” Mo Zhu’er blinked her eyes lightly. “Looks like Master Xu really gained quite a lot on his trip to Three Stone Peak. I wonder who taught Master Xu such a technique that can actually resist me.”

“Take your hand off.” Xu Ming said coldly.

“Do you really want me to take my hand away?” Mo Zhu’er smirked. “Don’t you fear that I’ll tell Immortal Maiden Qin about our little secret?”

Xu Ming slowly opened his eyes and said, “If you want to say it, then go ahead. It was indeed my mistake, and I will naturally bear all the consequences myself. There’s no need for you to use this to threaten me.

If you think that by doing this you can make me do everything according to your wishes, then you’re too naive.”

“Hehe, Master Xu, don’t talk nonsense. Am I the kind of person who likes threatening others? Since Master Xu doesn’t want me to tell, then I definitely won’t say anything,” Mo Zhu’er giggled lightly as she pressed her small hand onto Xu Ming’s heart. “Moreover, we secretly indulge in some naughty things behind closed doors, but Master Xu’s childhood sweetheart doesn’t know about it. Thinking about it, it’s actually quite stimulating.”

Xu Ming’s heart violently trembled.

In an instant, the defense constructed by the Three Gods Tranquil Heart Formula completely collapsed.

That bone-melting allure continued to invade Xu Ming’s inner self even more fiercely.

Before Xu Ming could react…

Gradually losing his rationality, Xu Ming’s breathing became heavier; his gaze towards Mo Zhu’er filled with aggression.

Finally, Xu Ming lost control and pulled Mo Zhu’er into his embrace, tearing at her clothes.

Soon, Mo Zhu’er was pressed against the table, facing away from Xu Ming.

“Master Xu is truly rough.”

“Does Master Xu treat Lady Qingwan just as roughly?”

“Oh~ That’s right, Lady Qingwan probably hasn’t let Master Xu touch her yet.”

Despite supporting herself on the table with both hands, Mo Zhu’er’s mouth didn’t stop provoking Xu Ming.

Later on, Mo Zhu’er simply ran out of strength and could only tightly bite her lips.

After half an hour, the courtyard was in utter disarray.

Shreds of clothing were scattered everywhere.

Mo Zhu’er stood up, changed into another set of clothes, and waved her hand to gather the scattered pieces of clothing in the courtyard.

“Recently, Master Xu has become increasingly rough.” Mo Zhu’er kissed Xu Ming’s forehead. “But I like it.”

With that, Mo Zhu’er turned around and left.

Xu Ming regained his senses, tidied up his clothes, and sighed again.

Xu Ming thought the Three Gods Tranquil Heart Formula would work.

But who would’ve known that Mo Zhu’er’s soul-devouring seductive art was even stronger. What puzzled Xu Ming was that during this dual cultivation, Mo Zhu’er seemed to be suppressing some kind of anger.

At first, Xu Ming was in control, but later on, it was Mo Zhu’er taking the initiative.

And every three sentences she spoke, she mentioned Qingwan, as if she’d eaten something wrong.

After tidying up the overturned tea table in the courtyard, Xu Ming carried Shen Shengsheng, who was still asleep in the corner, back into the room.

Xu Ming meditated in the courtyard.

In the evening, Shen Shengsheng woke up from the bed, groggily walking into the courtyard.

It was also dinner time, and a maid from Heavenly Profound Gate brought the evening meal.

After finishing dinner, Shen Shengsheng felt even sleepier.

Strangely, she had just woken up. The next morning, Shen Shengsheng still hadn’t awakened. Xu Ming carried Shen Shengsheng out of the courtyard, where Wu Yanhan and a woman were waiting outside.

“This is my personal bodyguard — Ren, a martial artist of the Far Travel Realm, a Golden Body Realm martial artist. She will escort Shengsheng back to Wudu. You can rest assured.” Wu Yanhan said to Xu Ming.

“Greetings, Lord Wenwuqing.” The woman bowed respectfully.

Xu Ming nodded in return, “Then I’ll trouble you, young lady.”

Ren: “Lord Wenwuqing speaks too highly.”

“Is there something wrong with Shengsheng?” Wu Yanhan looked at Shengsheng in Xu Ming’s arms.

Xu Ming smiled and shook his head, “If I let Shengsheng leave, she definitely wouldn’t agree. Moreover, in this regard, the two of you have quite similar tempers. So I gave Shengsheng a sleeping pill. This sleeping pill will allow Shengsheng to sleep for seven days. During these seven days, even without eating or drinking, there won’t be any problems.”

Xu Ming handed Shengsheng over to Ren, who gently took her in her arms.

“Since Shengsheng is entrusted to you.” Xu Ming took off the jade pendant from his waist and placed it in Shengsheng’s arms. “When Shengsheng wakes up, she will surely be very frightened. At that time, please show her this jade pendant. Shengsheng will trust you.”

“Please rest assured, Lord Wenwuqing. I will deliver Miss Shengsheng to Xu Mansion as soon as possible.” Ren said solemnly.

Xu Ming bowed deeply.

Ren turned around and left the courtyard with Shengsheng in her arms.

“Now are you relieved?” After Shengsheng was sent away, Wu Yanhan asked.

“Not relieved.” Xu Ming looked at Wu Yanhan, “As long as you and Qingwan don’t leave, I’m still not relieved.”

“Speaking of which, the Purple Mist Grand Ceremony is coming up in a few days. Is your childhood sweetheart still in seclusion?” Wu Yanhan questioned doubtfully.

Xu Ming: “Qingwan came out of seclusion yesterday, and I’ve already told her everything. Now we’re just waiting for Elder Wang Xuan’s response.”

Wu Yanhan: “Aren’t you afraid that Wang Xuan will side with Xia He?”

“It’s possible, but the likelihood is low.” Xu Ming sighed helplessly, “Besides, within Heavenly Profound Gate, apart from Xia He, only Wang Xuan has influence. What I’m worried about isn’t whether Wang Xuan sides with the Sect Leader of Heavenly Profound Gate, but rather how many people within the sect have colluded with the Sect Leader, and whether Wang Xuan can discern them.”

“That’s true. To identify all these people is indeed not easy.”

Just as Xu Ming and Wu Yanhan were discussing, a dignified female voice echoed.

Xu Ming and Qin Qingwan simultaneously turned their heads to look.

Wang Xuan walked step by step into the courtyard with both hands clasped in front of her.
