Chapter 575: Chapter 366 Swallowing

"Chopped off?"

Looking at her pretentiously frosty expression, Xu Yuan gently raised an eyebrow.

Threatening him with such an unrealistic proposition was less effective than just threatening to beat him up.

"What’s the matter?" Standing a zhang away from the bed with her back to him, the petite and exquisite figure shrouded in a voluminous palace dress spoke, "You think I wouldn’t dare?"

"Whether you dare or not is one thing, whether you have the heart to do it is another."

As Xu Yuan unbuckled his belt, he chuckled and said, "If you chopped it off... would you truly have the heart?"

Tianyan’s response was swift and came with a sneer:

"Why wouldn’t I? A scoundrel like you only deserves to have that thing chopped off so you’d ..." Halfway through her sentence, Tianyan suddenly stopped, as if hit by a "Freeze" Zhen Yan, with a blush spreading gradually from her crystal-clear earlobes.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan slowly stood up.

It seemed the Washboard Saintess had caught on to the implied message, and her reaction was quite quick.

The sound of clothes rubbing resonated, and as Xu Yuan undressed, he continued:

"See, I knew you wouldn’t have the heart..."

"Freeze."

The word was uttered before he could finish speaking.

A tremendous pressure suddenly enveloped him, and the motion of Xu Yuan untying his inner garment froze.

It seemed his words had indeed provoked Tianyan; this time, the "Freeze" Heavenly Word Mantra didn’t just immobilize his body, but also his will-spirit, and even his soul sight was firmly fixed in place.

In his immobilized view, the barefoot girl standing a zhang away in the void slowly turned around.

At that moment, Xu Yuan felt that if stares could turn into knives, he would have been sliced a thousand times...

His train of thought didn’t stop there.

"Blade."

Tianyan uttered the word with a calm tone.

The corner of Xu Yuan’s eye twitched.

This was bad.

The slightly dim chamber, due to the rain, suddenly lit up with specks of golden light.

In an instant, these light points condensed into a richly decorated dagger between Tianyan’s lifting fingers.

Having done all this, Tianyan approached him with indifference, stepping on the air.

One step.

Two steps.

By the time she got close to Xu Yuan, Tianyan had already touched the ground.

Given the height difference between them, Xu Yuan, who was facing up, could only see her soft black hair from the top of her head and feel the chilling air from the dagger in her hand.

Although he knew in his heart Tianyan wouldn’t really do such things, there was no overcoming the unknown feeling of not seeing in his field of vision and the coolness of the icy blade as it skimmed over his inner garment.

After a moment of concern, Xu Yuan put his heart back in his stomach.

Obviously, Tianyan still couldn’t bear to do it, and the light blade had only cut through the upper part of his inner garment.

After a moment, several straps on Xu Yuan’s inner garment were sliced open.

Tianyan lowered her head, her voice flat:

"You’re making such a fuss over taking off a piece of clothing, all chatter and no action."

"....."

Hearing her disdainful words, a sense of unexpected tenderness welled up in Xu Yuan’s heart.

She was truly a woman with a sharp tongue and a soft heart.

But was it necessary to tear his clothes apart?

Moreover, it seemed this wasn’t the first time, playing quite wildly in the Illusionary Realm.

With these thoughts in mind, the light blade in Tianyan’s hand had already dissipated into sparkling stars. She casually grabbed the torn corner of his garment and tossed it onto the ground nearby.

And as the clothes fell to the floor, Xu Yuan noticed that the girl whose face he couldn’t see suddenly froze in her actions.

She seemed to be staring blankly at him, but it was only a fleeting moment.

"Control."

Another Heavenly Word Mantra was cast, and Xu Yuan’s body moved uncontrollably.

He took off his shoes by himself, climbed into bed, and then sat down in a proper posture.

This movement also allowed Xu Yuan to see her face again.

Flushed with pink, yet feigning composure.

It seemed that his bare upper body had stirred some enticing memories within her heart.

Tianyan’s eyelashes, long and dense, quivered lightly as she sat silently on the bed across from him, taking a meditative posture.

Looking at his flushed face, Xu Yuan suddenly wished that the cultivation method of the Soul Chapter was like that of a certain "Jade Maiden’s Sutra" from his previous life.

It required both participants to be bare.

Hm?

Who was it that practiced the Jade Maiden’s Sutra?

With that thought, Xu Yuan hurriedly reined in his mind, feeling that if he continued, his path of cultivation would collapse.

However, if Tianyan finished the practice but left without releasing the "Binding" Heavenly Word Mantra, and then Xiao Bai sneakily slipped into the room....

Hiss... That thought wasn’t so bad either.

"Calm your mind."

With an upright posture, Tianyan adjusted her breathing and then released another Heavenly Word Mantra.

It was meant for both herself and Xu Yuan.

He might not know it in the Illusionary Realm, but this must be Xu Yuan’s first time experiencing the "Calm your mind" mantra in reality.

It worked far quicker than when he operated the Blood Essence Meteoring Art, as if he was forced into sage mode.

The experience reminded Xu Yuan of something important, yet not so crucial at the moment.

Before entering the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, Tianyan had been afflicted with his casted Enchantress Cherry Toxin.

Although less than a month had passed in the outside world, inside the Illusionary Realm... Tianyan must have endured nearly twenty years with the Enchantress Cherry Toxin.

Tianyan could maintain her purity of heart for twenty years probably thanks to this "Calm your mind" mantra.

But... could the Heavenly Word Mantra truly be so effective against the Enchantress Cherry Toxin, capable of seducing Saints?

Xu Yuan instinctively wanted to ask, but realized he was still silenced, unable even to blink.

"Hmm, indeed."

Unable to speak, but with just one glance, Tianyan seemed to understand what he meant and hummed softly, whispering, "In the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, it was this mantra that sustained my clarity."

As she spoke,

her crystalline, amber eyes took on a devilishly charming allure with her softly murmured words:

"Of course... there was the help of a certain someone."

Having said that,

Tianyan no longer cared for Xu Yuan’s response, her slender jade finger precisely pressed on his lower middle spine acupuncture point.

There are two such points in the human body.

One lies along the spine’s center line, leading to the Dantian in the abdomen, named the central spinal point.

The other is located an inch below the navel, connecting to the Sea of Consciousness in the brain, named the lower middle spinal point.

Naturally, these points can vary from person to person, by half an inch or so.

Tianyan’s direct targeting of his spine point suggested she had done something similar before.

As these various thoughts crowded his mind, Tianyan’s voice suddenly reached him:

"Don’t resist; I’ll guide your Will-spirit to comprehend the Soul Chapter I’ve left for you."

"......"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan quickly centered his spirit.

Interactions between Origin Qi and Will-spirit are delicate matters; any mishap could lead to possession by devils.

Seeing Xu Yuan ready, Tianyan said nothing more, her fine Will-spirit and Origin Qi gently flowing into Xu Yuan’s lower middle spinal point.

Though only two feet apart on the outside, the lower middle spinal point is a precarious path within the body, requiring careful progression toward the Sea of Consciousness.

A few breaths later, a wisp of Tianyan’s Will-spirit was at the threshold of Xu Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Relax."

As she spoke,

Xu Yuan felt a cool shudder, and Tianyan’s Celestial Fates Divine Soul entered.

But before the two could interact further,

almost as soon as it entered,

both of their expressions shifted.

Gone.

The slender wisp of Tianyan’s Celestial Fates Divine Soul that had just entered his Sea of Consciousness disappeared in an instant,

Oh no,

Rather than disappearing, it seemed more like it was devoured.
