Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

The pool was filled with what appeared to be icy spring water drawn from a mountain stream, and a chill emanated from the tomb.

After Beidou led Chi Junlin into the room, he said, "Please take off your clothes, Master."

As he spoke, he loosened his belt and took off his black and white mourning clothes.

Chi Junlin seemed to know what Beidou wanted to do, and without saying a word, he took off his clothes.

Then, guided by the Big Dipper, they sat down in the cold spring water.

Chi Junlin, a seasoned veteran of many battles, boasted that his physical endurance was still quite good.

Even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but shiver when she entered the water.

This water is so cold! I don't know where it's drawn from, but sitting in it feels like being naked in the dead of winter.

In just a short while, she felt frost forming on her eyebrows.

But Beidou remained calm.

Seeing that Chi Junlin was already sitting cross-legged in the ice water pool, she also stepped into the pool.

At this moment, Chi Junlin saw that Beidou's body was thin and frail, even more so than he had imagined.

Perhaps because she had been in the tomb for many years without sunlight, her body seemed much smaller than that of people her age.

Seeing this, Chi Junlin couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Beidou sat upright in the pool, appearing completely calm.

Chi Junlin suddenly asked, "Have you been doing this all these years alone?"

Beidou paused, seemingly wondering why Chi Junlin was asking this.

But he still nodded and said, "Yes."

Chi Junlin then asked, "Is there anything you want?"

Beidou thought about it for a while, and seemed to be seriously considering this issue.

Then he replied to Chi Junlin, "After Beidou falls asleep, please put Beidou back on the bed, Master."

And that concludes the discussion.

Chi Junlin sighed, but Beidou failed to understand the meaning behind his gaze.

He then added, "Please remember the method of practicing the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, Master."

Then he raised his hand and placed it in Chi Junlin's palm.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Junlin felt a surge of internal energy flowing down Beidou's slender and delicate wrist.

Chi Junlin knew that Beidou was beginning to impart all the internal energy of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill within his body to him.

Despite his young age and frail physique, Beidou possesses an inner strength that is truly rare in this world!

Because the internal energy within her body was not cultivated by one person alone, but rather formed by generations of tomb guardians over hundreds of years, creating a terrifying existence that could be described as a galaxy flowing backwards.

And this is the truly mysterious aspect of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill.

Even if someone cultivates the Wedding Dress Divine Skill and achieves success, and is willing to give their internal energy to others, they will inevitably suffer some loss of internal energy.

Even if the loss reaches more than 30%, after 60 years, the internal energy that can be retained will be as vast as the ocean.

All the tomb guardians share a firm belief: whenever the owner of the imperial tomb arrives, the last guardian must give their all and impart all the internal energy of the Wedding Dress Divine Skill passed down through generations to the owner.

Therefore, Chi Junlin believed that the Big Dipper was the most valuable treasure in the entire imperial mausoleum.

Chapter 78 I like my master's embrace

Beidou only taught Chi Junlin the first half of the "Wedding Dress Divine Skill" technique.

Since the first half of the volume is about the internal cultivation techniques of "receiving" and "preserving," Chi Junlin, as the master of the imperial tomb, only needs to read this part.

The second half of the manual focuses on the "application" and "practice" aspects, which only the tomb guardian needs to actively master. Therefore, Beidou did not allow Chi Junlin to see it.

At this moment, Chi Junlin felt the powerful internal force transmitted from Beidou's two palms and did not hesitate at all.

He immediately began to circulate his internal energy, allowing it to surge through the major acupoints.

Although when Chi Junlin first practiced the technique, his body felt as if it were being pricked by needles and cut by knives.

However, the internal energy transmitted at this moment had already been refined by Beidou.

The accumulation of a century of cultivation gently washed over her meridians, making her feel warm all over.

However, soon, a large amount of internal energy surged in, as powerful as an overflowing river.

Chi Junlin's original meridians had never experienced such an impact.

Her body quickly became incredibly hot.

It felt like the cold winter had suddenly turned into the sweltering heat of summer.

Fortunately, Chi Junlin was sitting in the icy spring at that moment, and the cold air neutralized her body temperature, preventing it from rising suddenly.

Otherwise, this would have caused Chi Junlin's meridians to burst and he would have died.

Clearly, the clan of tomb guardians of the imperial mausoleum had made preparations in advance, which is why Beidou had Chi Junlin take off his clothes and sit with her in the cold spring.

At this moment, as Chi Junlin's internal energy gradually increased, her body became extremely hot, causing the entire cold spring to begin to steam.

The sealed room was suddenly filled with water vapor.

However, as Chi Junlin's internal energy gradually increased, Beidou's powerful internal energy began to gradually weaken.

When Chi Junlin opened his eyes, he saw that Beidou's face had become somewhat rosy.

Strangely, the black hair on her head was gradually turning snow-white as her internal energy dissipated.

It's like youthful vitality gradually fading away.

Chi Junlin's eyes revealed complex emotions.

Because she knows why this is the case.

Although the wedding dress skill is so mysterious that it allows the skills of several generations of tomb guardians to be passed down from generation to generation, leaving behind a profound and astonishing legacy of internal energy.

Conversely, if the inner strength of the inheritor is completely transferred into the body of the recipient, the recipient who has no inner strength will suffer the backlash of the divine power, and die from exhaustion of mental energy.

In the original storyline, after Ding Xia became the master of the imperial tomb, he received all of Bei Dou's internal energy, causing Bei Dou's black hair to turn white, and he passed away.

The little girl's background is quite pitiful.

Abandoned by his parents as an infant, he was later taken back to the imperial tomb by the previous generation of tomb keepers and has been completely ignorant of the outside world since childhood.

In her world, there was only one thing: to wait for the master of the imperial tomb to arrive and then pass on all her skills to him.

In the original storyline, aside from helping Ding Xia drive away the tomb invaders and sacrificing her life's skills, she basically had no other role.

In other words, her existence is purely as a tool to make Ding Xia stronger.

But Red King does not approve of this.

She couldn't accept that a young girl, in the prime of her youth, whose life had just begun, would die alone in a cold tomb.

But what she meant by "go to sleep" was not actually going to sleep.

Her last wish was clearly that after her death, the Red Emperor would place her body in a coffin so that she could rest peacefully there forever.

As his black hair turned to white, Beidou's once black hair had become completely white.

Chi Junlin's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly exerted force with both palms.

The point where their palms touched twisted and rotated outwards.

Chi Junlin has gradually closed the channels through which the internal energy of the Big Dipper is transmitted.

Beidou sensed the change in Chi Junlin and looked somewhat puzzled.

She assumed that Chi Junlin didn't understand the Wedding Dress Divine Skill, so she explained, "There's only one chance... If you stop, you... can't transfer the skill a second time..."

Chi Junlin did not change his attitude, but said, "But if you lose all your internal energy, you will die, won't you?"

Beidou's expression remained unchanged; he simply lowered his head and whispered, "This is Beidou's destiny..."

"Is that so? But I don't accept this kind of fate."

Chi Junlin replied calmly.

Beidou raised his head and looked at Chi Junlin with some surprise.

Chi Junlin gradually stopped absorbing Beidou's internal energy, grasped her hand, and left some of his internal energy within her.

Chi Junlin estimated that Beidou had given him about 80% of her internal energy, and when she closed the transmission channel, she had about 20% left in her body.

At this moment, Beidou felt a sudden emptiness in his body, then closed his eyes and lunged forward.

He then collapsed into Chi Junlin's arms.

Chi Junlin felt her light body and soft, radiant skin.

But at this moment, he felt no lust.

Instead, looking at her snow-white hair, he couldn't help but show a tender expression and hugged her in his arms.

Beidou's body was extremely cold, like a piece of ice jade.

Perhaps because she had lived in such a tomb for a long time without sunlight, her body was very thin.

However, because of the sufficient internal energy remaining in her body, she was able to support the operation of her frail body.

In Chi Junlin's view at this moment, the fortune above Beidou, which was originally as thin as gold paper and ashen, was revitalized under the backflow of Chi Junlin's powerful fortune.

Then Beidou opened its eyes.

In the end, he survived.

As her mind gradually cleared, her first sensation was that she was in a warm embrace.

She had never experienced a hug; from the time she became conscious, all she had been accompanied by was a cold tomb and stone coffin.

The warm embrace left her feeling bewildered and at a loss.

But for some reason, it felt very warm.

Reassuring.

Beidou pressed itself against Chi Junlin, feeling his heartbeat.

I wondered, is this what it feels like to be the master?

She wanted to stay in her master's arms forever and never leave.

Chi Junlin felt the affection emanating from Beidou and couldn't help but hug her even tighter.

She gently rubbed her face against Beidou's head.

The two embraced in the pool, and Chi Junlin's powerful internal energy warmed the icy mountain spring water.

The entire stone chamber was filled with warmth, and one could no longer feel the biting cold of the tomb.

-

Outside the imperial mausoleum, on the lush green mountaintop.

Tong Yan had been waiting here for a long time.

Chi Junlin had been in the valley for quite some time, but Tong Yan had no idea what she had experienced there.

The longer I wait, the more uneasy I feel.

Although Chi Junlin had told her in advance that even if he did not return, the sect would still receive the remaining reward.

But what Tong Yan was worried about at this moment was not the reward at all.

Unbeknownst to her, Tong Yan had begun to worry excessively about Chi Junlin's safety.

She simply couldn't imagine how she would feel if Chi Junlin were really gone.

Chapter 79 Does the Sect Master miss me?

Tong Yan is a woman who has experienced the pain of losing her husband.

Therefore, she was fully aware of how heartbreaking it would be to lose a loved one.

Although Chi Junlin and she only had two nights together, and Tong Yan's first impression of Chi Junlin was not very good.

But without her realizing it, Chi Junlin had already firmly occupied an important place in her heart.
