This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 260 The Fairy's Slap, the Young Lady's Shame and Anger

That night, the cold moon hung high in the sky.

The third watch.

Luo Zijun's soul left her body and she arrived at the back garden again.

Since there's a one-month deadline, the Moon Palace Fairy should still take him underground to cultivate within that timeframe.

Waited for a long time.

Just as Luo Zijun thought the other party wouldn't come again tonight, a white shadow suddenly appeared in the night sky.

A white figure floated gracefully down in front of him.

Just as Luo Zijun was about to speak, the other party slapped him across the face.

When spirits clash with spirits, it still causes considerable pain.

Luo Zijun was immediately taken aback: "Why did the fairy hit me?"

The Moon Palace Fairy merely glanced at him coldly, offering no reply, and walked to the underground entrance in the corner, where she stood.

Luo Zijun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly walked over and stood beside her, asking, "Aren't you going to give me a reason?"

Did she discover what I was thinking?
"Shh!"

A light appeared, and the two entered the underground together.

Luo Zijun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since this moon palace fairy is still willing to bring him down, then this slap is worthwhile.

However, he was still puzzled as to why this person had hit him.

They soon arrived underground.

The Moon Palace Fairy ignored him the whole way.

After passing through the tunnel, they left immediately.

What exactly is the reason?
Luo Zijun watched her retreating figure, then touched her own face, feeling a bit aggrieved.

However, nowadays, when you're under someone else's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head.

As long as I can continue to cultivate, what does a mere slap matter?

He didn't waste any more time and continued to cultivate in the cave.

His soul is now much stronger and more solid than before, and his soul power is also much purer and stronger. It is incomparable to his soul power when he was in the Sun Travel Realm.

"Object manipulation technique!"

Reaching the cave entrance, he saw a rock not far away. With a surge of his soul power, the rock floated up and flew out, crashing heavily into another rock in front of him.

"boom!"

Both stones have developed cracks.

Using the art of manipulating objects underground is far more powerful and faster than using it above ground.

After all, this is the world of spirits, and all matter is a physical object to them.

It is naturally much simpler to operate.

He practiced for a while longer before entering the cave to continue his cultivation.

A vortex appeared above their heads.

In the shimmering, fluorescent world, wisps of dense, yin energy, like streams, converged and entered his body.

Within the soul sea in his abdomen, the sphere of soul power spun rapidly.

The newly absorbed energy was refined into the purest soul power and integrated into the sphere of soul power.

The spirit and meridians begin to appear.

Lines, winding and twisting, connect and run through the entire body, like the meridians of the flesh.

And streams of soul power, like blood, flowed through the meridians, constantly cleansing and tempering the entire meridian system, and even the soul itself.

The spirit began to flicker, its color gradually changing from gray to deep black, and then gradually fading back to gray.

This happened repeatedly.

A night passed quietly.

When Luo Zijun opened his eyes, the Moon Palace Fairy had already returned and was sitting opposite him, looking at him.

Silent and stealthy, like a ghost.

"The fairy is indeed powerful. If she were an enemy, I would be dead by now."

Luo Zijun not only told the truth, but also flattered him.

Tonight's practice went very well.

Compared to last night's cultivation, it was like heaven and earth.

So naturally he had to curry favor with this person.

The Moon Palace Fairy stared at him for a few more moments before getting up and walking out of the cave. She said in a calm tone, "You're cultivating very quickly. You should be able to advance in less than a month."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun exclaimed excitedly, "Advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

The next realm after the Realm of Controlling Objects is the Realm of Divine Transformation!
Once he advances to the Nascent Soul Realm, he will have a great chance to escape the White Serpent's mission and regain his freedom!

"However, there's one condition: you have to obey."

The Moon Palace Fairy added another sentence.

Luo Zijun understood her meaning and quickly said, "Don't worry, Fairy, I will definitely obey. Miss Bai's blood won't take a month; I'll get it in the next couple of days!"

Since the young lady's date is the same as Bai Bai's, then...

Unexpectedly, the Moon Palace Fairy ignored him after hearing this and coldly entered the tunnel.

Luo Zijun followed behind, thinking to herself: This person is in a bad mood tonight, so I'd better not say anything and upset her, or she won't take me down tomorrow night.

The two emerged from the tunnel one after the other and soon arrived at the exit.

The Moon Palace Fairy then looked at him and said coldly, "The mission is canceled. I have already collected the blood of others, and I don't need her blood anymore."

Luo Zijun was taken aback, but her heart did not relax. She asked somewhat nervously, "Then... does the fairy have any other instructions?"

With each mission becoming increasingly difficult and bizarre, how could he not be anxious?

The Moon Palace Fairy seemed to think for a moment, then looked at him and said, "I need the hair of twelve different women, twenty strands from each woman. They must be between twelve and nineteen years old, virgins, and not maids or servants."

Luo Zijun: "???"

"Shh!"

The Moon Palace Fairy didn't speak again, and opened the exit.

The two quickly reached the ground.

Luo Zijun couldn't help but ask, "Fairy, what do you need so much women's hair for?"

The Moon Palace Fairy looked at him and said, "Naturally, I will help you forge a flying sword."

Luo Zijun was taken aback: "Does crafting a flying sword require a woman's hair?"

The Moon Palace Fairy said calmly, "Magic artifacts used by the soul naturally need to contain rich Yin energy. A woman's hair is just right. As for those requirements, they are all to make the Yin energy purer and cleaner, which can increase the chances of successfully refining the artifact."

Luo Zijun didn't understand either. Hearing her speak so earnestly, she didn't dare ask any more questions, only saying with difficulty, "One or two is fine, but twelve... Fairy, you know, a woman's hair is very important to her. Her body and hair are given to her by her parents, and moreover, a woman's hair represents her..."

"You can give up."

The Moon Palace Fairy coldly interrupted him, her figure flashing as she flew into the night sky, saying, "I'll give you three days. Come back here to find me in three days."

Having said that, he disappeared into the clouds.

"Twelve women's hair, virginity, age... they can't be maids or servants..."

Luo Zijun found this utterly absurd. Thinking about it carefully, aside from the hair he had given him when they first met, all the other women around him…

Besides, the hair I had at the first meeting was no longer suitable.

As for other women, if they offer a man their hair, it's a declaration of love and true affection; if he asks for it back, it's also a declaration of love and a courtship...

Hey……

He sighed and went back to his room.

To cultivate underground, to acquire the flying sword, to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible, and to completely rid himself of the White Serpent's mission, he had to do this.

At that moment, the images of all the women he knew flashed through his mind.

"Sister..."

"The eldest young lady...my sister-in-law and several young ladies from the Bai family..."

"Jia Yingchun... Jia Tanchun... Lin Daiyu and other young ladies of the Jia family..."

"besides……"

"Hmm? Sun Yan'er and Huang Zhaodi should also be able to..."

Twelve is enough, but he finds it difficult to speak to any of them.

The easiest person to speak to was his senior sister; he felt no qualms about it.

As for the others, that's difficult.

If he were to speak like that, the other party would definitely misunderstand, and he wouldn't know how to explain it.

"Pay money to find a strange woman?"

That obviously won't work either. Those who give their hair for money are usually poor people, either maids or servants. Besides, he doesn't know the other party's true situation. If the hair doesn't fit, it will waste the other materials for forging the flying sword, and then it's all over.

As for those rich young ladies, they would never sell their hair for money.

In this era, a woman's hair was as private as her feet; no one was allowed to touch it, much less give it away, especially not a complete stranger.

After thinking about these random thoughts for a long time, he finally closed his eyes and took a short nap.

After dawn.

After he finished breakfast, just as he was about to go out to find his senior sister, Fenfen pushed open the wooden door on the wall and informed him, "Young master, my young lady wants you to come over."

After saying that, the little girl snorted and turned to leave.

Luo Zijun was puzzled and went to the next room through the small door.

He didn't see Bai Bai and Qing Qing on the way. He had originally planned to have Xiao Huan come and find Bai Bai to secretly tell her about the mission being canceled.

As they arrived at Miss Bai's study and were about to knock, Miss Bai's voice came from inside: "Come in."

His voice was cold, unlike his usual tone.

Luo Zijun pushed open the door and entered. As soon as he entered the room, Fenfen followed him in, closed the door, and looked at him with a cold, pretty face.

Miss Bai, dressed in white, sat at her desk, her face no longer veiled.

Her flawless face, bathed in the morning sunlight, was breathtakingly beautiful.

Luo Zijun didn't dare to look any longer, and went over to cup her hands and said, "Did Miss want to see me about something?"

Miss Bai put down her book, looked up, stared at him coldly for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are you sick?"

"what?"

Luo Zijun was taken aback by her words and looked at her, asking, "What do you mean by that, Miss?"

Bai Meixue narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "What did you send Bai Bai to steal from me?"

Luo Zijun was startled and quickly pretended to be clueless: "No, why would I let Bai Bai steal Miss's things? Miss, have you misunderstood?"

Fenfen snorted coldly from behind and said, "Young master, stop making excuses. Bai Bai already confessed everything last night."

Then, clenching her little fist, she said, "Bai Bai also confessed that besides stealing Miss's things, you were also planning to steal mine, Qingqing's, and even Second Miss's! Young Master, you...you're too perverted!"

Luo Zijun: "..."

"Where's Bai Bai? I want to confront her!"

he said quickly.

Fenfen glared at him angrily and said, "Young master, you still want to deny it! I already kicked Baibai and Qingqing out last night! A real man, young master, do you dare to do it but not admit it?"

Luo Zijun paused for a moment, then said, "I admit that I tricked Bai Bai into doing that, it has nothing to do with her. Also, I... I only want Miss, I never thought of anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Miss Bai's fair and beautiful face immediately flushed red, and she glared at him with embarrassment and annoyance.

Fenfen asked, puzzled, "Is the young master really sick? What do you need that thing from Miss for?"

Luo Zijun's face flushed, and she turned to look at her, saying, "Fenfen, go out. I have something to say to the young lady."

Miss Bai quickly said, "Fenfen, you're not allowed to go out!"

Her face flushed, and she seemed a little flustered.

Fenfen immediately said, "Young master, just say what you have to say. I'm not going out."

Luo Zijun sighed and bowed deeply to Miss Bai, saying, "Miss, it's all my fault, but I had no choice. Do you remember what I told you a while ago? Someone forced me to take your hair, and... this time, she needs your blood. I originally wanted to use my own, but I was afraid she would find out, so I thought... Anyway, it's all my fault. As long as Miss doesn't tell anyone about this, I'll accept whatever punishment you want me to receive."

The two had a complicated relationship before, and he hadn't hidden these things before, so naturally he didn't need to hide them now.

However, this incident was indeed too bizarre.

He felt ashamed and embarrassed whenever he thought about it.

After listening, Miss Bai remained silent for a while, then looked at him and said, "Even if you came to me willingly and let me cut my finger to give you some blood, it would still be better than what you made Bai Bai do last night. That kind of thing is not the behavior of a gentleman."

Luo Zijun lowered her head and said, "The other party doesn't want just a few drops of blood, but a whole bottle. As for the finger... to be honest, I don't want to hurt Miss. So... I was thinking that the blood flowing out like that... like that wouldn't hurt, and there would be plenty..."

"Shut up!"

Miss Bai immediately blushed and scolded him angrily.

Suddenly, Fenfen asked with a look of suspicion, "Young Master, how do you know that Miss doesn't experience pain, and that she has a lot of it?"

"Pink!"

Miss Bai was once again embarrassed and annoyed, her beautiful face redder than the morning sun and more beautiful than flowers.

Pinky stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say anything more.

Luo Zijun lowered her head and dared not say anything more.

"go out!"

Miss Bai glared at him again and began to shoo him away, seemingly not wanting to see him again.

Luo Zijun immediately bowed and left the room.

Arriving at the courtyard, he sighed helplessly and returned to Junzi Residence through the side gate. He immediately instructed Xiaohuan and Zhiyuan, "You two go and find out where Baibai and Qingqing went. If you can't find out, Zhiyuan, go and ask the Third Miss. If the two of them left the manor, someone in the manor should know."

"Also, Paper Kite, when you see the Third Miss, tell her that I've been having headaches from studying lately and I need a folk remedy. The remedy requires the hair of several different women, at least twenty strands from each person. It can't be the hair of servants; it's best if it's the hair of an unmarried young lady in the manor. And ask her to keep it a secret for me."

The only thing I can do in this matter is ask my sister-in-law for help.

Many young ladies from the Bai family's Anguo and Suguo mansions have good relationships with Bai Qingtong. If Bai Qingtong were willing to speak on their behalf, it would be most appropriate.

Although Zhiyuan was puzzled, seeing the solemn expression on his face, she didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately agreed.

Luo Zijun sighed again and went straight out the door.

He planned to go to Baoan Hall to find his senior sister first, and then go to Chujian Bookstore to find Jia Yingchun.

Then, go to the Grand View Garden to find the other young ladies of the Jia family.

Regardless, he had to complete the task given to him by the Moon Palace Fairy first.

In order to cultivate and advance as quickly as possible, he decided to go all out.
