People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 491, Attempting to Steal a Chicken, But Getting Pecked Instead.
Jing Ni was still wearing the same metal combat suit from the Luo Wang organization, her black hair coiled behind her head, with a strand falling down her cheek.

Her pretty face still had a cold expression, but her beautiful eyes had lost their former sharpness. Her rosy lips were slightly pursed, and she no longer gave the impression of a ruthless killing machine, but rather a cold and aloof ice queen.

The purplish-black skirt swayed gently, revealing glimpses of her beautiful legs encased in metallic fishnet stockings with each step, while her black pointed high heels made a crisp sound as they stepped on the ground.

Looking at Jing Ni in front of him, Xu Qing noticed her gaze and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. He didn't know why, but he felt that Jing Ni was a little different.

"Why are you here?" Xu Qing asked, puzzled.

"I already know the outcome of the covenant between heaven and man; I want to know how it went."

Jingni's eyes trembled slightly, and although her voice was still as cold as ever, it was much gentler.

After learning the reason for Jing Ni's arrival, Xu Qing dispelled her doubts and said apologetically.

"Oh, so that's what it is. I'm sorry you helped me practice my sword before, but I didn't get to use that move in my Heavenly Pact with Xiaoyaozi this time."

In the days leading up to his departure from Xianyang, Jing Ni trained him day and night, and taught him her signature moves. Although he won, he didn't use any of the moves Jing Ni taught him, which made Xu Qing feel somewhat guilty.

Jing Ni looked at Xu Qing calmly, not saddened that her hard work had been wasted, and casually extended an invitation to Xu Qing.

"It's alright, as long as you won. Now that you've entered the Celestial Master realm, how about you practice your swordsmanship with me tonight?"

"now?"

Xu Qing said with some surprise.

“If you have other things to do, we can do it another day,” Jingni said.

"There's nothing else. Go back and wait for me for a bit. I'll get ready and come find you in your yard later."

Xu Qing glanced at the hourglass in the study and nodded.

It's still early, so practicing swordsmanship with Jingni won't affect his rest and won't interfere with tomorrow's morning court session or lectures.

"it is good."

Jingni nodded and then turned to walk outside, a glint of light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

After glancing at the bamboo slips on the table and blowing off the ink, Xu Qing prepared to change his clothes and go find Jing Ni to practice his swordsmanship.

Before long, Xu Qing finished packing and took Cheng Ying Sword to Jing Ni's courtyard. However, as soon as he entered the courtyard, Xu Qing smelled a faint fragrance.

Xu Qing looked around and found the source of the fragrance.

Jingni sat in the corridor, with a small incense burner beside her. Wisps of white smoke rose slowly from it, and the fragrance emanated from it.

"When did you start liking incense?" Xu Qing asked.

“I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, so I asked someone to make me some calming incense. I’ve gotten used to the scent recently, so I just lit it up.”

As Jing Ni spoke, she picked up the Jing Ni sword and walked into the courtyard, drawing the sword from its sheath and pointing the sharp tip directly at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing glanced at the burning incense burner and felt a little disdainful. How could the woman in the family of the deputy head of a medical family use such low-grade calming incense? It would be strange if it were effective on Jing Ni, who was a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm.

"Insomnia? I'll take your pulse again later. The calming incense that the people outside made shouldn't be of much use to you," Xu Qing said with a light laugh.

"it is good."

Jing Ni's gaze turned cold, and pink sword energy swirled around Jing Ni's sword.

Seeing that Jing Ni was about to unleash a powerful attack, Xu Qing put aside his random thoughts, circulated his inner energy, and Cheng Ying was unsheathed, its invisible blade pointing at Jing Ni.

Seeing the black and white Tai Chi diagram unfold beneath Xu Qing's feet, Jing Ni pushed off with her left foot and charged towards Xu Qing with incredible speed, her movements too fast for the naked eye to see. The Jing Ni sword in her hand gleamed with a chilling light as she attacked Xu Qing's abdomen.

Upon seeing this, Xu Qing's gaze sharpened, and he quickly brought Cheng Ying down in his hand, circulating his inner energy to prepare to block Jing Ni's killing move. However, as soon as his inner energy began to circulate, he felt a sense of disorientation, and the scenery in front of him began to spin.

"What's going on?! It smells fresh."

Xu Qing's expression changed slightly. He quickly took a few steps back, looked at Jing Ni who was standing in front of him, and then immediately looked at the small incense burner burning under the eaves.

Realizing he might be poisoned, Xu Qing quickly activated his Evergreen Technique to try and dispel the effects of the fragrance.

However, as the Evergreen Skill circulated rapidly, Xu Qing not only failed to awaken from his dazed state, but became even more disoriented, and the scene before his eyes began to shake violently.

"What did you do?" Xu Qing asked Jing Ni in a cold voice.

Upon hearing Xu Qing's question, a smile appeared on Jing Ni's usually cold and aloof face. Her original cold demeanor had completely disappeared, replaced by a noble and gentle air.

"Listen to that voice, it's like it wants to kill me! What if people get scared?"

Jingni slowly stepped forward, looked at Xu Qing and said in a soft voice.

Upon hearing this strangely familiar voice, a look of surprise flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. This voice was clearly that of Luo Jing, who was played by Jing Ni back then.

"So you recognized me. I knew you wouldn't be so heartless."

Luo Jing chuckled and shook the jade bracelet on her left hand twice; it was a gift from Xu Qing.

"Who...who are you?"

Xu Qing shook his head vigorously twice. At this moment, he couldn't tell whether it was the effect of the medicine brought by the fragrance that made him hallucinate, or whether Jing Ni and Luo Jing were actually two different people, but why did they look exactly the same?
For a moment, Xu Qing was somewhat bewildered.

Looking at the somewhat dazed Xu Qing, Luo Jing slowly squatted down, her beautiful eyes calmly gazing at Xu Qing. She reached out and supported Xu Qing's swaying body, letting her fall directly into her arms.

"I am Jing Ni, but I am also Luo Jing. However, today I am Luo Jing. Although I don't know if you can understand, you don't need to think about it now. This Thousand Spider Dream Devouring is not poison. Your immunity to all poisons cannot protect you from it."

Luo Jing whispered in Xu Qing's ear, "Thousand Spider Dream Devourer is a product specially developed by Luo Wang for experts at the Celestial Master level. It's not a poison; as she said, it's a calming incense used to soothe the mind. However, if inhaled in excess, the calming effect can backfire, trapping the inhaler in a beautiful, hallucinatory dream from which they cannot escape."

Xu Qing was completely dumbfounded. His brain couldn't process what he meant by Jing Ni and Luo Jing being the same person. Did Jing Ni also have a split personality like Hei Bai Xuan Jian?
And what is Luo Jing doing? Why is she hugging him? Is she lusting after him?
"What exactly do you want to do?" Xu Qing asked weakly, leaning on Luo Jing's shoulder.

"What for? You'll find out in a minute," Luo Jing said with amusement.

Xu Qing has finally fallen into her hands. Thinking back, she was clearly asleep, while Jing Ni was clearly moved, yet she was wrongly accused of causing trouble. Does she really think that honest people have no temper?
She had said before that she was determined to get revenge on Jing Ni.

Since Xu Qing left Xianyang, she had been lying in wait, pretending to be asleep to make Jing Ni careless, all in order to wait for Xu Qing to return and take control of her body.

She's been supporting Xu Qing for a long time, and today she's determined to sleep with him no matter what.

If she misses this opportunity, given how quickly Jingni accepts her feelings, she'll probably disappear very soon.

As a personality created by Jing Ni, since Jing Ni has been hesitant to face her own feelings, she must come to help Jing Ni and make her confront her emotions. That way, even if she disappears, she won't leave any regrets.

"you"

Xu Qing naturally understood the meaning behind Luo Jing's words, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He did not expect that Luo Jing would actually drug him.

What is this? As the deputy head of a medical family, he was drugged by a woman twice. If word got out, he would lose all face.

Before Xu Qing could even mutter a few more complaints in his mind, he was immediately drawn into the illusion, a look of rapture on his face.

Luo Jing shook Xu Qing's body, and after confirming that Xu Qing was completely trapped in the Thousand Spiders Devouring Dream, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, her smile deepened, and she helped Xu Qing up and walked into the house.

After entering the house, Luo Jing casually closed the door and placed Xu Qing directly on the bed.

Looking at Xu Qing's strong chest and handsome face, Luo Jing licked her pink lips with her tongue, a look of anticipation on her face.

As a personality formed from the emotional union of Jing Ni and Luo Jing, Luo Jing's emotions and desires were amplified to the maximum extent. Previously, she was suppressed by Jing Ni in South Korea, which is why she was unable to harm Xu Qing.

After Jingni could no longer suppress the resurgence of her emotions, her personality fully awakened, and she was also no longer able to suppress the impact of her seven emotions and six desires.

"Unfortunately, I only have this one night left. It's not that I'm succumbing to lust, but rather that some feelings are simply impossible to suppress."

Luo Jing's slender fingers traced Xu Qing's cheek, her gaze softening. She covered her chest with her other hand and whispered.

Since Jing Ni doesn't dare to admit her feelings, let's help her out.

This wasn't simply because she was lusting after Xu Qing's body; it was all for Jing Ni's own good.

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Jing circulated her inner energy in her palm, and the pink inner energy poured into Xu Qing's body to help him dispel the illusion of the Thousand Spiders Devouring Dream, so that Xu Qing would not really be trapped in the illusion and unable to get out.

However, as soon as this internal force rushed into Xu Qing's body, it stimulated the dormant true energy within him.

Under the guidance of the purple qi, the true qi of the Evergreen Skill began to circulate, and white true qi spread out from behind Xu Qing, instantly enveloping Xu Qing and Luo Jing together.

A hint of panic flashed across Luo Jing's face. The current situation caught her off guard. Just as she was about to withdraw her internal energy, a faint fragrance wafted into her nostrils.

"A Thousand Spiders Devouring Dreams!?"

Luo Jing's expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected that Xu Qing's cultivation technique was so powerful that it could even forcefully expel the non-poisonous Thousand Spider Dream Devouring from his body.

A faint fragrance surrounded the two of them, and Luo Jing's breathing became rough. Her narrow eyes gradually became unfocused, and a blush rose on her pretty face.

"In the end, how did it turn out like this?"

After Luo Jing uttered a coquettish remark, her consciousness became somewhat blurred, and her hands went limp as she collapsed into Xu Qing's arms.
At this moment, Xu Qing was still in a semi-conscious state. After feeling a warm beauty in his arms, he subconsciously reached his hand to Luo Jing's back.

His skillful physical instincts allowed him to easily unlock the metal combat suit.

Luo Jing hugged Xu Qing, nuzzling her head slightly. Even though she was the embodiment of Jing Ni's emotions, she was inexperienced and had no idea what to do next. She could only instinctively wriggle in Xu Qing's arms, trying to make herself more comfortable.

Luo Jing's thoughts and physical reactions completely dispelled her cold and ruthless demeanor, and her wandering eyes shone with an indescribable allure.

Her pink lips parted slightly, releasing a fragrant breath, as she took the initiative to ask Xu Qing for something.

Xu Qing rolled over and placed Luo Jing on the bed. He bit her thin lips, which were so alluring that they made one's heart sink. He roughly and decisively tore off Luo Jing's metal combat suit, revealing her fair and jade-like skin. Her purple and white bodice presented an extremely perfect curve, squeezing out two snowy white mounds.

Under the dilution and catalysis of the Evergreen Technique, the Thousand Spiders Devouring Dream technique gradually took effect, leading the two, who were already interested in each other, to take the next step.

With a soft groan of pain, Xu Qing's Evergreen Technique expelled all of the Thousand Spider Soul Devouring Technique from his body, freeing him from the illusion.

When Xu Qing finally saw the situation clearly, he was even more bewildered. He and Jing Ni—no, it should be Luo Jing now—were practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, yet he had been drugged.

He had no recollection of what happened after that.

However, when he suddenly woke up, he found himself in bed with Luo Jing, and she was even below him.
What does this mean? Is this what they meant by "you'll find out later"? But why is that?

Compared to the bewildered Xu Qing, Luo Jing was suffering in silence. Her gaze wandered as she looked at Xu Qing. The Thousand Spider Dream Devouring was designed to target consciousness, making her already fading personality even weaker. She could clearly sense that Jing Ni within her body was awakening.

Just as Luo Jing was still thinking about what to do next, her wandering eyes suddenly opened, and she instinctively hugged Xu Qing.

"As expected, that jerk had been thinking the same thing all along. I'm quite satisfied now."

Luo Jing's lips curled up slightly, and she felt relieved. Although she hadn't been able to sleep with Xu Qing, she had still completed her mission.

With Xu Qing's attack, the two of them immediately succumbed to temptation...

Jingni's personality also awoke from its slumber, gradually replacing the weakened Luo Jing. However, upon waking up, she was startled to see Xu Qing in front of her, and the strangeness in her body left her confused.

What's going on? What are she and Xu Qing doing?
She remembered that she should have gone to find Xu Qing to practice swordsmanship and spar, so how did the two of them end up like this?
Before Jingni could figure out what was going on, Luo Jing's personality forcibly took control of her body again, causing Jingni to fall into a deep sleep.
