Chapter 47 Playing Dead to Deceive the Truth

Yaoyue had fallen asleep at some point, and when she suddenly woke up, she was annoyed at herself for being so careless.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Lu Ming sitting cross-legged in meditation. The Lianhua Baojian mental cultivation method was running smoothly, and it was faintly shining. His handsome face had a touch of evil charm, which made her heart beat faster.

He turned his head away, secretly annoyed at what kind of cultivation technique this person practiced, that it even had the power of seduction.

This is truly unfair to him. The Lianhua Treasure Mirror was given to Wang Lianhua's mother, Fairy Yunmeng, before he set sail, entrusting her to find a reliable person to pass it on. Since he has gone to sea to live in seclusion, he will not be returning unless something unexpected happens.

After examining it, Fairy Yunmeng added her own martial arts techniques. Since her own allure was exceptional, the Lotus Flower Mirror also acquired its essence. When a woman used it, she was breathtakingly beautiful; when a man used it, he was both alluring and handsome, easily winning the hearts of women.

This is also based on the fact that Lu Ming has put all his talent points into appearance. If it were Wu Dalang instead, Yaoyue would only feel disgusted.

A short while later, Lu Ming finished his internal energy cultivation. He pulled her into his arms and stroked her smooth forehead: "It seems your cold is better now. I'll undo the 'Sad Breeze' for you."

Feeling the warmth of the man's embrace, Yaoyue felt a little uncomfortable but didn't get angry. Since he didn't take the opportunity to steal her virginity, but was just a little clumsy, she felt a little more appreciative.

"Aren't you afraid I'll regain my powers and kill you?"

"I know you didn't use your full strength yesterday, and neither did I. Rather than that, let's find out more about the background of those people from last night. I hate being schemed against, and not fighting back isn't in my nature."

Lu Ming grasped the soft, boneless hand, their fingers intertwined, palms pressed together. He circulated the Purple Cloud Divine Art within his body to help the poison dissolve in the Sorrowful Breeze.

The detoxification process, which should have taken only a dozen breaths, was delayed for more than half an hour, naturally so as to enjoy the pleasure of having a warm and soft woman in one's arms for a longer period of time.

It would be a pity to kill Yaoyue, but if we don't kill her, she'll be terrifying when she goes mad.

Sensing that her inner strength had returned, Yaoyue was about to move when she was suddenly embraced. Her pretty face flushed, her teeth clenched, and she said in a flustered voice, "What are you doing!"

"You sustained some internal injuries from a previous fight. I'll help you heal them using my internal energy. I'm not bragging, but the perfected Zixia Divine Skill is among the top three in the world for healing!"

A warmth spread through her heart, and a ripple stirred in her usually calm mind. Jiang Feng's image in her heart grew fainter and fainter. She didn't dislike Lu Ming, but she hadn't fallen in love with him either, which was enough to make countless admirers beat their chests in despair.

Yaoyue disliked this feeling intensely; emotions would only hinder her martial arts progress. Nevertheless, she asked, "What do you plan to do?"

While circulating his internal energy, Lu Ming replied, "Let's go back to the Huashan Sect to marry my senior sister first, and then go into seclusion to study martial arts for a while. Once we have news from your side, we'll go and settle accounts with the mastermind behind this."

Yaoyue was so angry she laughed. She went to look for clues and said, "So you're going home to sleep with your beautiful wife, huh?"

"You've already married Lin Shiyin, why can't you be devoted to her? I hate heartless and ungrateful men like you the most, I'll kill every one of them I see."

Lu Ming yawned, utterly bored, and withdrew his hand: "We may be familiar, but don't talk nonsense, that's slander! I'm good to every woman I love, how am I heartless? According to you, all the emperors and princes in the capital are like that, you should go and kill them all."

"You're not just a bully who picks on the weak, are you? Or do you think Jiang Feng chose Hua Yuenü and is ignoring you, a great beauty, which is why you're angry and think I'm the same way?"

boom!

Mentioning her past heartbreak, Yaoyue, who had been wrongly devoted to Lu Ming, became enraged and slapped him hard. The blow landed squarely on Lu Ming's heart, and her eyes showed surprise, shock, and a hint of regret.

Lu Ming's face was pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He reached out and stroked her cheek, saying in a broken voice, "Has anyone ever told you that you are very beautiful, just a bit domineering? This is a Lesser Rejuvenation Pill that I refined. I hope you will be happy for the rest of your life."

As he spoke, his body slumped to the side, and he fell silent.

"You!" Yaoyue exclaimed in shock, grabbing his collar and shaking him violently. "Get up! I won't allow you to die, you can't die! Come back to life! Why did you provoke me?!"

There was no response for a long time. Enraged, Yaoyue unleashed a torrent of energy, nearly causing the cave to collapse. Two glistening tears streamed down her face. Only then did she realize that she had accidentally killed her opponent. Regret swirled in her heart. Was she destined to be a lonely, cursed star for the rest of her life?

Stealing a glance at Yaoyue, Lu Ming coughed a few times before quickly getting up. He patted himself down, feigning surprise, and said, "Hey, I've mastered the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, so I can't die. Hey, why are you crying?"

Yaoyue was now fully aware that she had been tricked. She had subconsciously revealed her feelings, thinking no one had heard. But to her surprise, Lu Ming had overheard her, and in her shame and anger, she prepared to attack again.

"Wait, are you really trying to kill me?! Never mind, let's think about what to eat first. Do you want grilled fish?"

Inviting the Moon: ...

Fresh river fish, scaled and skewered, are sprinkled with cumin and pepper as the campfire rises, filling the air with their aroma. Beside them are two bowls of wild vegetable soup, seasoned with some fish meat—incredibly delicious.

Watching the busy Lu Ming, Yao Yue simply sat quietly, her feet shoulder-to-shoulder, her delicate hands wrapped around her calves. Her eyes held a complex expression; sometimes she thought this was quite nice, except for the significant age gap between them.

She shook her head slightly, banishing these chaotic thoughts from her mind: "The 'Sad Breeze' is exclusive to the Western Xia First-Class Hall; it's almost impossible for outsiders to obtain it. Those men in black look a lot like the assassins from the Green Robe Tower. Who exactly did you offend?"

You ask me, who do I ask?

Lu Ming said irritably, "They came for you. Why are you asking me? I wasn't implicated. Alright, the fish is cooked. After you finish eating, go back to Yihua Palace. Once you've made further progress in your Mingyu Gong, killing them will be no different than crushing ants."

Yaoyue took the grilled fish, her eyes fixed on Lu Ming, and asked a completely unrelated question: "Is the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill from Wudang?"

The Wudang Lesser Rejuvenating Pill and the Shaolin Greater Rejuvenating Pill are well-known.

Zhang Sanfeng was originally a Shaolin disciple, but he left the Shaolin Temple to make his way in the world before finally establishing the Wudang School. He did not follow the Buddhist path, but rather the Taoist path.

The Lesser Rejuvenating Pill can enhance one's martial arts skills and has healing effects; even in Wudang Mountain, it is extremely rare.

"Their pills have side effects, mine don't. My family used to be in the medical field, no one knows medicine better than me! Just take it, it's only one pill. It won't affect your potential. The Lesser Rejuvenation Pill is a little better, but the Greater Rejuvenation Pill just exchanges potential for power. Once you take it, you can forget about advancing any further in this life."

Pills that can enhance one's cultivation level naturally come at a price, a price that is unbearable for exceptionally talented individuals. However, they are invaluable treasures for martial artists with less talent, since there is no upper limit to their abilities, and exchanging them for immediate combat power is a sure win.

Yaoyue nodded slightly. The Yihua Palace also possessed related historical texts, so she knew a little about it. Hearing this, her eyes held a complex expression: "How much do you know about Jiang Feng?"

"I know a lot, but let's deal with some annoying tagalongs first."

Lu Ming picked a few foxtail grasses, flicked his left hand, and unleashed the Heavenly Cloud Five-Flower Cotton once more.

Several men in black fell to the ground again, while a glare flashed in the eyes of a voluptuous, veiled woman in the distance. This technique of using hidden weapons was all too familiar!

The monk Wuhua slowly emerged from the forest, flicked his sleeve, and used the Shaolin technique "Eighteen Falls with Clothes on Clothes" to pulverize the attacking leaves. He then made a Buddhist chant with his hands: "Amitabha, this humble monk greets the Grand Palace Master of Yihua Palace and Young Hero Lu, the Sword Demon of Huashan."
