Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

"My goodness, when can I see your face? Or at least see your waist and hips... Hey, hey, don't send me back to the Goddess of Mystery, I'm sorry!"

Chapter 212: We must take advantage of the "Mysterious Woman's Scripture"!

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll really send you to the Mystic Maiden," the woman said softly.

As her words faded, the scenery of the spring pool atop the sacred mountain gradually faded away, and Chu Mingkong knew it was time to leave.

Although I felt a little reluctant to leave, it wasn't too strong; I figured I could come back next time.

Watching the jade-like foot in his arms fade into the distance, Chu Mingkong breathed a sigh of relief. He longed to see her face...

The scenery completely disappeared, and Chu Mingkong thought he had returned to his bed with Yun Nongyu.

But when the view cleared again, what appeared before them were the same beautiful feet of the Mystic Maiden that they had seen not long ago, leisurely soaking in the river water of this secluded mountain valley.

Even though one of his feet was dozens of times larger than Chu Mingkong's body, it didn't stop him from praising its beauty.

You dare come back?!

The colossal sword didn't give Chu Mingkong a chance to say anything more before slashing down, causing Chu Mingkong's lips to twitch.

We agreed that he would be a chatterbox, which is why we sent him over. He hasn't said anything out of line yet!

Fortunately, the white light enveloped him again, allowing him to escape unharmed from the sword of the Mysterious Woman's will.

"My goodness, what's going on here?" Chu Mingkong had no idea what his system was up to.

That reassuring, ethereal female voice rang out in the white light:

[It was a minor mistake; it was delivered to the wrong place.]

"..."

Chu Mingkong recalled the various forms of passive-aggressive behavior the system had used in the past, such as putting strange items in his blind boxes, and now this feint to scare him again...

She looks like a goddess with radiant beauty, but why does she seem like a scheming and wicked mother?

----------

This time, Chu Mingkong can finally return to the normal "world".

The white light dissipated once more, revealing Yun Nongyu's living room and bed, where he was situated within his own domain of annihilation.

Even in this posture, he seemed to be in a "dazed" state. The long, beautiful leg that Yun Nongyu was about to kick him with was now limply hooked on his shoulder, maintaining a close connection between them.

It's somewhat like the story of Hou Yi shooting down the sun.

In the gray, hazy world, it seemed as if only he and Yun Nongyuer existed.

It seemed that his bewildered expression as he looked around caught Yun Nongyu's attention. Her eyes were closed, but she seemed to be gazing at Chu Mingkong with concern, and she asked softly:

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

So she was awake after all... Chu Mingkong subconsciously assumed that she had also lost her senses with him, but thinking about it, it made sense. Xuan Nu had pulled him into that "world," so the influence on Yun Nongyu had disappeared.

"I'm fine." After saying that, Chu Mingkong felt that this conversation was familiar and couldn't help but smile.

"Your Highness, what are you laughing at?" Yun Nongyu asked, puzzled.

"Do you remember when we first entered the room, I was the one asking you 'Are you alright?' Now it's the other way around, and you're the one asking me." Chu Mingkong left the topic at that point and pressed on, "Master Yun, when did you regain consciousness? Do you remember what happened?"

The stunningly beautiful Taoist priest, her full, jade-like legs draped over the man's shoulders, almost wanted to pull her legs back, but decided to answer Chu Mingkong's question first. Yun Nongyu nodded slightly.

"I vaguely remember that I was influenced by the will of the Mysterious Maiden Scripture. Your Highness had some conflict with her and was later hit by her supernatural powers and spells, and has been in a daze ever since... Your Highness, in fact, the will in that scripture was not malicious."

When Yun Nongyu said the second half of that sentence, her feelings were complicated.

She had had many similar experiences before. Some people say that studying the scriptures is like having a dialogue with the thoughts of ancestors and sages. This sounds mysterious, but for Yun Nongyu, it was a simple, descriptive account of her experiences.

As long as the level of the cultivation method and scriptures is high enough, for her, the "spirit of the book" will really come out and personally recite the scriptures and answer her questions, but others will not be able to see it.

This was the first time she had ever experienced a case of direct possession by the "Mysterious Woman Scripture".

After hearing Yun Nongyu's explanation, Chu Mingkong's mood became even more complicated. He said self-deprecatingly, "I've made a bit of a mess of things."

Yun Nongyu shook her head and comforted her, "Your Highness, it's no wonder. You're just worried that my body will be taken over by a strange will."

Chu Mingkong then asked Yun Nongyu in detail about what had happened when he was distracted.

This was a rare opportunity to confirm whether his soul had wandered outside the heavens or his body had been transported to another secret realm. Although he had already deduced the truth to some extent, having Yun Nongyu as an observer was much more reliable than his wild guesses.

"When I regained consciousness, His Highness's body was motionless, and his eyes were lifeless. I suppose he was in a trance, and it seemed that he was engaged in a battle with the will of the Mysterious Maiden Scripture?"

The phrase "the battle between heaven and man" originally refers to the struggle and entanglement in one's mind, the conflict between two choices, the clash of thoughts... Chu Mingkong savored what had just happened. Although it wasn't exactly a choice, it was indeed a battle at the level of consciousness.

"How did Master Yun know that I was torn between heaven and man?"

"...Although Your Highness was lost in thought, your body still reacted in some ways. Just now, it suddenly swelled up a lot, and Your Highness's heartbeat also accelerated, as if you were excited by the battle?"

That probably wasn't fighting spirit, but more like the awe he felt upon seeing the Great Mystic Maiden, and then he was massaging the system girl's feet with a bit of focus!

Now that he had learned almost everything he needed to know, Chu Mingkong completely relaxed. It really was a false alarm.

However, he rarely experienced a dizzying feeling due to excessive mental exertion, which he vividly described as having stars spinning above his head.

Although Yun Nongyu's beautiful eyes were closed, her attention to him had not diminished. Just as she was wondering how to bring up the topic of pulling her leg off his shoulder, she took the opportunity to say:

"Your Highness, please lie down and rest for now. The Xuan Nu Jing is all about killing and warfare. Even if the killing intent within it does not harm Your Highness, you will still feel weak after a fierce battle."

She withdrew her jade-like legs and slowly rose from her lying position, unhurried and graceful. However, as she "withdrew," her delicate body trembled slightly, and a soft moan escaped from her cherry lips. The entrance to the Peach Blossom Cave, a paradise of wonders, opened, and a stream of clear water gushed out.

"Your Highness, please forgive my rudeness..." The beautiful woman smiled gently with her eyes closed, a blush of shyness rising on her jade-like face, but it was fleeting. She calmed her breathing and once again helped Chu Mingkong lie down gracefully.

Having had the experience in the cave, Yun Nongyu now knows what to do even without trying to predict the future.

Now it's time to clean.

Yun Nongyu knelt down beside Chu Mingkong, bowing her head, and while busy speaking, she took a moment to ask:

"Your Highness, may I... um... ask you something?"

Chu Mingkong detected a hint of hesitation in her tone: "Please speak."

"Why did you call me 'Nongyu' before, and now you've changed it back to 'Master Yun'?"

...How should this be explained? Chu Mingkong could only say that he was a little uneasy.

Because he and Yun Nongyu had never had any emotional exchange. This emotional exchange was genuine affection, not the cultivation relationship they had now.

Perhaps it was because their friendly and harmonious partnership had remained too amicable since they met that Chu Mingkong couldn't find a way to take their relationship to the next level.

It must be admitted that a polite and harmonious relationship is indeed comfortable, but it can also create a great sense of distance.

Just now, when the will of the "Mysterious Woman Scripture" came over to "make trouble," Chu Mingkong blurted out something like, "You took my woman's body..." He would never normally say such a thing in front of Yun Nongyu.

Such claims of possession are not appropriate to some women, as each has her own personality. Yun Nongyu, with her rather indifferent nature, doesn't seem like someone who would willingly be possessed. Therefore, if such words were uttered, the other party might quickly retaliate and distance themselves from you.

After Chu Mingkong regained consciousness, he asked Yun Nongyu if she had any memories, actually because he was concerned about whether she had heard him.

As it turned out, she did have the memory of that time, but Yun Nongyu didn't say anything about it, so Chu Mingkong wondered if she wanted to pretend she didn't hear it.

In that case, it would be only natural for him to change his address back to "Master Yun".

"It was a name I used in the heat of the moment. If you don't mind, I would like to call you 'Nongyu' like Master does."

"do not mind."

...That was pretty decisive.

"So, Nongyu, would you like to call me...?"

Chu Mingkong didn't finish his sentence. He was getting into it and didn't want Yun Nongyu to waste too much breath, so he decided not to hold back and just "finished" in a second, so he could continue chatting with Yun Nongyu in peace and take a break.

Ke Yun Nongyu clearly understood his subtle feelings. Although it was like a fishbone stuck in her throat and a little uncomfortable, she still closed her eyes and waited.

Although Chu Mingkong didn't get her answer, he seemed indifferent.

Even though she didn't open her eyes, Chu Mingkong knew she was looking at him.

Even though she didn't speak, Chu Mingkong already knew that she had answered.

The words Chu Mingkong didn't say transformed into other emotions, gushing forth like a spring—

"...Ugh!"

The room was filled with the woman's soft sobs.

After a long silence that spoke volumes, Chu Mingkong, lying on the fragrant couch, opened one arm, and Yun Nongyu, understanding his intention, lay down on his arm.

Taking advantage of this precious moment of wisdom, Chu Mingkong pondered something.

It's understandable that the will of the "Mysterious Woman Scripture" wanted to kill him, but that's not the key point. The key point is that "she" could ignore the Nirvana Domain and directly intend to kill him here.

The Annihilation Domain is indeed insufficient. There were already some signs during the trip to the East Sea, but at present, the Annihilation Domain is no different from a soundproof barrier.

We need to seek a higher level of skill, which doesn't necessarily have to be a domain; even a higher level of mastery in swordsmanship would be acceptable.

Since the system could easily save him from the clutches of the "Mysterious Woman Scripture," perhaps we could use the "Mysterious Woman Scripture" as a sparring partner and recklessly seek her out for some training?

This is one line of thought; we could even explore the "Mysterious Woman Scripture" to see if there are any ways to improve the realm of Nirvana.

...I wonder if showing the original text of the "Mysterious Woman Scripture" to my master would reveal any sword techniques.

Chapter 213 Failed Attempt to Lick the Master's Wife

The idea of ​​obtaining the sword manual is a bit far-fetched. If it were really easy to get, Chu Mingkong estimated that Yun Nongyu would have already comprehended it. But anyway, there's no harm in trying.

Chu Mingkong, fearing he might act on impulse and forget, tentatively asked Yun Nongyu:

“Nongyu, can I borrow the original text of the ‘Mysterious Woman Scripture’ first? I’ll return it to you later.”

Yun Nongyu took out the scripture and handed it to him. Because the "Mysterious Maiden Scripture" had caused quite a bit of trouble today, she added a note:

“Your Highness, similar situations may still occur with the ‘Su Nu Jing’ in the future, as the original text has an unusual status.”

Chu Mingkong had thought of this when he was chatting with his system mother, and now that he heard Yun Nongyu say "maybe," he was even more certain.

Yun Nongyu's "possibility" can still stand the test.

He carefully put away the "Mysterious Woman's Scripture" and said:
