Swing the sword at the future female devil

Chapter 366 As long as it can help Huai Ge, I'll take my clothes off!

"Cangling, no!" Duan Huaige quickly pressed down on Xie Cangling's hand that was unbuttoning her clothes, glancing several times at the closed door as if afraid that some old man was eavesdropping there.

If Xie Laodeng catches me in the act, I'll have no way of explaining myself.

He simply unfolded the landscape map and brought this place under its control to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on his conversation with Xiao Xie.

"Hey? Huai Ge, weren't you going to help me check if that dream was real?" Xie Cangling blinked her pure and beautiful eyes and said, "Isn't this how you check it?"

"No, no need. Not for now." With immense willpower, Duan Huaige forcibly averted her gaze from Xiao Xie's pure, white face, trying her best not to recall the soft, cherry-like lips of the socially awkward girl after she got drunk that night…

Phew, using this to test cadres is really a bit harsh... The amazing tea ceremony performance of the little socially awkward guy after getting drunk was still lingering in Duan Huaige's mind. His breath was as fragrant as orchids and his gentle and charming temperament made his heart flutter.

Calm down! This isn't the time for romance! I'm busy forging the Emperor's Banner!

Duan Huaige said in a deep voice, "I just used a secret technique to see what the corrupted Xiao Jiang left for you. However, this thing does not have a physical form, but is on the causal line between you and her."

"Don't worry, I'll use a secret method to remove this from the causal line in a moment."

"Okay, okay." Xie Cangling nodded, closed her eyes without the slightest suspicion of Duan Huaige, looking completely at ease: "Huaige, you can do it."

Duan Huaige took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and began to practice the causal Dao technique that he had just begun to master, attempting to extract the manual for refining the Human Emperor Banner left behind by the Great Demon King Xi Yu from the illusory causal lines.

However, the causal threads left by the Great Demon King Xi Yu were too strong, and Duan Huaige was unable to remove the jade slip tied to it.

After a moment's thought, Duan Huaige felt he couldn't just force it... Since the corrupted Xiao Jiang had specifically arranged to give it to him only after he had become corrupted... that meant...

Taking advantage of Xiao Xie's closed eyes, Duan Huaige tentatively took out the half-finished Heavenly Demon Banner. Thick black smoke billowed out, instantly activating the causal threads left by the corrupted Xiao Jiang.

The jade slip emitted a dazzling black light, then shattered into pieces. The words inside seemed to possess a spirit, moving about as they went. Finally, each word was imprinted on Xie Cangling's smooth, jade-like back.

Duan Huaige: ?

this…?
Is it that Xiao Jiang has been led astray and has done something as outrageous and ruthless as the Prince Yan, or is Jiang Xiyu inherently good but just executed it poorly?
I know that many martial arts manuals and treasure maps are written on the back, but Xiao Jiang, you wrote it on your best friend's back. Do you want me to learn how to refine the Human Emperor Banner while studying?
Seemingly sensing Duan Huaige's confusion and hesitation, Xie Cangling gently opened her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and asked, "What's wrong, Huaige? My back... feels a little warm...?"

He paused for a moment and slowly said, "Cangling, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Bad news?"

"..."

"How about we listen to the good news first?" Duan Huaige said tactfully, "The good news is... it's not a dream. The corrupted Xiao Jiang really left something for you, and I've taken it out."

"Really? That's great... This will help you, Huaige, right?" Xiao Xie asked with a smile. "And what's the bad news?"

"The bad news is... those words are now on your back, you have to take off your clothes to see them." "Ah!" Xiao Xie exclaimed shyly. Duan Huaige's eyelids twitched violently. If he hadn't used the Mountain and River Map to cover up the aura of this place beforehand, that exclamation would probably have allowed Xie Laodeng's military personnel lying in ambush outside to rush in and map him.

"Then...can't divine sense see?"

Duan Huaige shook his head helplessly. The jade slip left by the Great Demon King Xi Yu was not so easy to see. Under normal circumstances, the writing on the jade slip could not be seen. Only when Duan Huaige opened the causal vision could the writing appear.

Having activated the causal perspective, Duan Huaige no longer had the extra mental energy to control his divine sense…

Originally, Xiao Jiang planned to imprint all the words on these jade slips onto Duan Huaige's Heavenly Demon Banner. However, Duan Huaige's Heavenly Demon Banner was only half-finished and not completely corrupted, which led to it accidentally landing on Xie Cangling's delicate body.

"I understand," Xiao Xie said, taking a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly. "As long as it helps Huai Ge... I'll take my clothes off..."

Upon hearing this, Duan Huaige's eyes immediately welled up with tears. Xiao Shekong had actually mustered the courage to make such a huge sacrifice so that he could obtain the contents of the Human Emperor Banner crafting manual... You must know that she is the kind of person who would blush and lower her head even when talking to strangers...

Could this adorable girl, trembling all over and looking like she was about to cry, really have the courage to let Duan Huaige read all the contents of the jade slip?
Duan Huaige felt he couldn't be so selfish. He wanted to see the jade slip, but he absolutely couldn't let the little socially anxious girl get hurt...

Is there a way to have the best of both worlds: to see the contents of the jade slip without being too shy to be lovesick?

Hmm? Did I forget a very important characteristic of people with social anxiety?
Isn't a little green tea b*tch after drinking alcohol the perfect vehicle? I'll have her show me then; the scene will be truly vibrant and alluring, a scene straight out of a book…

Imagine Little Green Tea wearing a semi-transparent gauze dress, her fragrant shoulders partially exposed, slowly peeling it off… The words on the jade slip gradually emerge. Should I be busy refining the Human Emperor Banner first, or should I chat with my dear little green tea for a while…?

Duan Huaige slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Cangling, I have an idea!"

"In a little while... oh no, after we leave Longhu Mountain and go home, come with me to a place, and we'll meet secretly."

"Oh, right, remember to bring some alcohol."

Huai Ge... are you planning to get me drunk before you start your cultivation?

Xie Xiaoshe's face flushed red instantly upon hearing this... She lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her skirt, and after a long while, she replied softly:

"Good, good."

Having come up with a solution, Duan Huaige, radiant with energy, left the room with Xie Cangling. When Old Xie outside saw Duan Huaige looking so glowing while his daughter was bowing her head shyly, he felt as if his head was about to explode…

Damn you, you yellow-haired ghost fire...you didn't do anything bad to Cangling, did you?

Although there's no "do" sound, there are countless ways for a man to do bad things to a girl!

No! This is absolutely unacceptable!
With this in mind, Xie Laodeng no longer hesitated. He decisively summoned his subordinates at the military headquarters and issued an order:
"Keep a close eye on that kid Duan Huaige!"
