Chapter 497: Chapter 435: Blood-Stained Battlefield + Chapter 436: Crisis in Pinghu

"Decided to switch to another cultivation technique?"

In the early morning, a warm orange sunlight filtered through the fluttering gauze, casting its glow on the couch.

Zhou Ping’an felt the delicate body curled up in his arms, gently stroked her cloud-like hair, and whispered, "You’ve actually been awake, haven’t you? Or rather, you never fell asleep."

[Last night the rain was sparse, the wind was fierce... the cherries turned red, and the banana leaves turned green!]

Green Lady was in high spirits, her body even more so.

Zhou Ping’an had discussed poetry with her all night long, and even with his physical condition, he now felt mentally exhausted, unable to come up with a single exquisite sentence.

The sun was already up, and yet he still lazed on the couch, feeling so lethargic that he did not want to move an inch.

"I’ve changed, the ’Oblivion Melody’ cultivation technique was somewhat inappropriate, sentiment leading to oblivion, eventually becoming as heartless as heaven and earth, what’s the joy in living like that?"

Green Lady’s voice was as light as a mosquito’s.

Hearing this made Zhou Ping’an chuckle.

The meaning behind her words was quite interesting.

It meant that it was not Green Lady’s initial intention, but the cultivation technique that made her act so boldly.

Oblivion Melody, with deep and intense emotion, one could forget everything—hence she could become so fierce, undaunted by repeated defeats, her blood staining the battlefield...

"You’re laughing?"

Green Lady pinched Zhou Ping’an’s waist lightly, trying not to use too much strength and discovering it was ineffective, she simply bared her teeth and left a mark on the skin of his chest.

She got up in one swift motion, her beautiful form revealed without a hint of shyness.

She just flipped off the covers, bent at the waist to take out scissors, busily cutting a piece from the bed curtains and tucked it away in a chest.

Indeed, as Zhou Ping’an saw it, while Green Lady spoke fiercely, in reality, she was only a novice who had learned the theory but not the practical experience.

She hadn’t even mastered the idiom "to take the strengths of others to offset one’s weaknesses," let alone understood the principle of mutual aid.

It was Zhou Ping’an, with his broad knowledge, who used his strengths against her weaknesses and, with the essence of military strategy, patiently taught Green Lady, helping her understand what a life of hardship was.

"Changing techniques is good, I obtained the ’Heart Sutra of Vast Cold’ purely by chance. It primarily cultivates the Divine Soul, but the path and principle are connected, in terms of Qi Refinement, it also possesses unique essentials, which, I believe, you have also noticed."

"That’s right, compared to the True Qi cultivated from Oblivion Melody, when infused with the Freezing Moon Realm, my Gang Qi has actually condensed tenfold, and it can even condense into mist, as if it were tangible."

Love shone in Green Lady’s eyes.

She glanced secretly at Zhou Ping’an and thought to herself that with her previous cultivation techniques being of inadequate level, she was far behind the Third Miss in combat power and gradually relegated to playing a minor role, barely able to provide him with much assistance.

But now, after cultivating the ’Heart Sutra of Vast Cold,’ condensing Gang Qi into Sword Qi, her offensive power increased tenfold, with this cold and sharp Gang Qi, there were few rivals in the same realm.

Moreover, this sutra allowed one to comprehend the Sword Intent of the Freezing Moon directly, without needing much accumulation, just steady cultivation, and waiting until resources were sufficient, breaking through to True Martial was just a matter of course.

What an immense opportunity this was.

She heard that Zhou Ping’an and Lin Huaiyu had once undergone great hardship to seek methods from the Cloud Water Sect, tirelessly gathering and refining medicine, went up the mountain and faced difficulties, nearly losing their lives in the process.

And she, without doing anything, had received a cultivation technique of the same level.

At this point, why still cultivate Oblivion Melody?

Even if by chance one could cultivate it to Completion, it would turn one into a heartless, indifferent puppet assassin.

That was what the Red Lotus Sect hoped for.

Not what she hoped for, and she believed that Zhou Ping’an would not wish to see her become that kind of person either.

Therefore, she had purposely chosen the "Heart Sutra of Vast Cold" for herself to cultivate instead.

Of course, having changed her Fundamental Technique, her adept skills, the Sound Attack methods, were not wasted either.

She was surprised to find that Freezing Moon Gang Qi, when used in playing the zither, was also extremely harmonious, and the abilities she could previously use were still available, with even greater power now.

It seemed as if they were tailored specifically for her.

"Xiao Ju, Little Tao, will you not come and attend to the master’s bathing and dressing?"

At Green Lady’s command,

Two maids entered, heads bowed, faces flushed, walking so carefully as if afraid to step on an ant in the room.

While they seemed bashful,

their actions were quite bold.

They brought in a hot water bath filled with petals, and four little hands worked proficiently; one rubbed his back, the other massaged his shoulders, their skills not bad at all.

"This..."

It was his first time enjoying such a landlord’s luxury, and with Green Lady by his side, Zhou Ping’an did not want to disappoint her kind intentions; he found the experience rather enjoyable.

Xiao Ju was Green Lady’s own Maid, and Zhou Ping’an naturally recognized her.

However, Little Tao, he had never seen before, a young girl with baby fat on her face, eyes full of curiosity and timidity, very cute, he wondered where Green Lady had found her.

"Little Tao was originally the County Magistrate’s daughter; after East Mountain was overrun by the Red Lotus Sect, she was sold into the Wanfang Courtyard where she learned the rules, waiting to be groomed.

This girl was quite clever, and one day managed to deceive the matron, escaped through the window, and ran into my path with a host of pursuers behind her, begging to be taken in as a slave or servant. Seeing her intelligence, I decided to keep her."
