Chapter 10: Yi Qingwu Almost Gets Discovered [Please Read On]
Nangong Nayue raised an eyebrow slightly.
breakthrough?
Her gaze swept over Yi Qingwu, sensing her presence.
Then, her eyes lit up.
"You broke through?" Nangong Nayue's voice was filled with obvious surprise. "You just broke through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm not long ago, and now you're already at the first level of the Four Extremes?"
Yi Qingwu nodded, secretly relieved.
Fortunately, the master's attention was diverted.
"Good, good, good!" Nangong Nayue said "good" three times in a row, her expression changing from languid to genuine joy, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes smoothing out. "Qingwu, you did well!"
She reached out and gently patted Yi Qingwu's shoulder. The pressure of her hand was just right, expressing her relief without making Yi Qingwu feel uncomfortable.
A month ago, Yi Qingwu and Yin Tiande got engaged, and the Guanghan Palace and the Bajing Palace formed a marriage alliance.
This is the biggest news in the Ziwei Star Domain recently.
The Eight Views Palace is one of the most prestigious holy sites in the Ziwei Star Region, with profound cultural heritage and numerous powerful figures.
Yin Tiande is the most outstanding successor of the younger generation of the Eight Views Palace. He has reached the perfect Dragon Transformation Realm and is hailed as the leading figure of the younger generation in the Ziwei Star Region.
The marriage alliance between Guanghan Palace and Bajing Palace is a tremendous boon for Guanghan Palace.
As her master, Nangong Nayue naturally hoped that her disciple could marry well and bring more resources and protection to the Guanghan Palace.
Seeing that Yi Qingwu had broken through to the next level in less than a month, Nangong Nayue was genuinely happy.
"I just broke through, and my realm is still unstable. I need to go back and stabilize it first," Yi Qingwu quickly said goodbye.
She had to go.
Her body was about to give out.
The exertion from those three days and three nights was immense. Although I broke through to a higher realm, the energy and blood in my body had not yet fully recovered.
What's more troublesome is that the bastard's lingering presence in her body is still causing her to feel weak all over, and her legs tremble if she stands for too long.
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would give herself away in front of her master.
"Alright, go back and consolidate your cultivation level first." Nangong Nayue nodded repeatedly. "I'll have someone send you some sacred medicine later to help solidify your foundation."
"Thank you, Master. I'll take my leave now."
After Yi Qingwu finished speaking, she walked past her master with unhurried steps and a straight back like a pine tree.
Nangong Nayue watched Yi Qingwu leave.
Under the moonlight, Yi Qingwu's figure was slender and tall, her white clothes fluttering, her long hair like a waterfall. She was indeed her most outstanding disciple.
But the moment Yi Qingwu passed by, Nangong Nayue's nostrils twitched slightly.
A strange smell wafted into her nostrils.
The scent was so faint that if she hadn't possessed profound cultivation and keen senses, she wouldn't have been able to smell it at all.
It was an indescribable smell—not the scent of flowers, not the scent of medicine, but a… very strange smell.
It's like the lingering scent after a sexual encounter.
Nangong Nayue frowned slightly.
But soon, she shook her head and banished the thought from her mind.
impossible.
She knows her disciples.
Yi Qingwu grew up in the Guanghan Palace, where she was known for her purity, aloofness, and self-restraint, never having much contact with any men. Moreover, she was already engaged to Yin Tiande; given her personality, it was impossible for her to do anything out of line.
I guess I was just overthinking it.
Nangong Nayue withdrew her gaze and turned to walk towards the pharmacy.
Her steps were neither hurried nor slow, her feathered robe swayed gently behind her, and the moonlight cast her shadow long and thin.
In any case, I have to personally deliver the sacred medicine to my beloved disciple.
Yi Qingwu crossed the square, walked along a long corridor, bypassed a laurel grove, and finally returned to her courtyard.
Her courtyard is located on the east side of the Guanghan Palace, built against the mountain. It is not large, but it is very exquisite.
Several laurel trees grew in the courtyard, and beneath them was a small pond with a few koi carp swimming in it. The courtyard wall was made of white jade, covered with vines and blooming with tiny white flowers.
Push open the courtyard gate, cross the courtyard, and arrive at the door of the house.
Yi Qingwu took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and went inside.
Then--
"Bang!"
The door slammed shut behind her.
The moment the door closed, the cool, moon-like mask on Yi Qingwu's face shattered like broken porcelain, leaving a trail of broken pieces on the floor.
She staggered to the bedside, collapsed onto the soft-bed sleeping area, and buried her face in the blankets.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
She was breathing heavily, her chest heaving, and her white dress was soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to her body.
My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of my throat.
She has been forcing herself to stay strong ever since she came out of the Goddess Furnace.
She dared not linger above Shengyuan City; she dared not slow down when flying over the snow-capped mountains; she dared not show any unusual behavior after entering the gates of Guanghan Palace; and she dared not lose her composure in the slightest when she met her master.
She's always acting.
Play a normal, newly-broken-in-a-realm disciple of the Guanghan Palace who is eager to return and consolidate his cultivation.
But now, in this room where she is all alone, she no longer needs to act.
"Damn Ye Feng!"
Yi Qingwu buried her face in the blankets and cursed in a muffled voice, her voice filled with gritted teeth and hatred, and with an indescribable tremor.
Damn man.
That damned lecher.
That damn bastard!
She turned over and lay on her back on the bed, staring blankly at the gauze curtains above her head.
The gauze curtains were silver-white, embroidered with patterns of the moon palace, her favorite color.
But at this moment, as she looked at that silvery-white expanse, what came to mind was the scene of those three days and three nights in the Goddess Furnace.
The images came flooding in like a tide, impossible to stop.
The way Ye Feng held her, the way he kissed her, the way he whispered in her ear, and those more intimate scenes that made her blush and her heart race just thinking about them…
"Stop thinking about it!"
Yi Qingwu sat up abruptly, covering her burning cheeks with her hands.
She could feel her face burning hot, as if she had a fever.
Her heart was pounding, her breathing was rapid, and she felt as if she were surrounded by an invisible fire, feeling unbearably hot.
This is more than just shyness.
This is a lingering effect of the Goddess Furnace.
During those three days and three nights, the laws of human desire from the Goddess Furnace had deeply eroded her soul, leaving an indelible mark on her body.
Her body remembered everything about that man—his temperature, his breath, his touch.
Every time I think of him, my body reacts.
This feeling of being out of control terrified Yi Qingwu, and she also felt a deep sense of shame.
She hated this feeling.
She hated herself for having a reaction to the man who took her innocence.
If you hate your body, why don't you listen to it?
"Calm down... calm down..."
Yi Qingwu closed her eyes and began to circulate her internal energy.
The Taiyin True Scripture and the Taiyang True Scripture were operating simultaneously, and the two forces, one Yin and one Yang, flowed slowly within her body, forming a delicate balance.
The cool Yin energy rose from her dantian and flowed to her limbs and bones, gradually suppressing the heat within her body.
Half an hour later.
Yi Qingwu exhaled a long breath and opened her eyes.
