With that said, he flickered away and left the room.

"Daoist, let's also get ready," Shen Zhixia said, taking a deep breath.

"Get ready for what?" Ling Ningzhi asked, puzzled.

Without a word, Shen Zhixia pulled her towards the screen.

"What is this..."

"Do I need to change too?"

"Of course, everything's ready for you."

Soon, a rustling sound could be heard.

In no time, long slender legs stepped out one after another, and upon seeing their appearance, Chen Mo couldn't help but be a bit dazzled.

Shen Zhixia had changed into a set of black underwear, the thin fabric barely holding up, exposing her fair clavicle and deep cleavage, with black suspenders tightly wrapping her legs, connected to the underwear with straps, her snowy skin almost dazzlingly white.

Ling Ningzhi's attire was similar but everything was in crimson, and her legs were wrapped in fishnet stockings, her voluptuous curves accentuated, her delicate fingers intertwined, her expression somewhat unnatural.

"Zhixia, I'm just an assistant, is it really necessary to dress like this?" Ling Ningzhi said, her face flushed.

"Of course it's necessary," Shen Zhixia replied with a smile, "We agreed at the beginning that as good sisters, we'd ride together. Besides, I can't handle him alone!"

Ling Ningzhi: "..."

Shen Zhixia looked up at Chen Mo, her eyes sparkling like water, "Brother, what are you waiting for?"

Chen Mo's throat moved slightly.

He could see that Shen Zhixia was so resolute in her stance, claiming she wanted to solidify things, yet deep down, she was somewhat fearful, which is why she insisted on having Ling Ningzhi beside her.

Empress, Imperial Consort, Daoist Venerable, Princess...

Suddenly finding herself amid so many "big figures" around him, it was inevitable for her to feel anxious, hence her eagerness to take the final step.

Recalling everything they experienced together, Chen Mo sighed deeply, feeling tenderness for the obedient and sensible Zhixia, and initially didn't want things to be so rushed.

But the unexpected situations from before had left an impression on her mind, and if he refused again this time, Chong'er would surely be heartbroken.

"Seize the moment when it's here, cherishing the present is the most important, Zhixia has done all this, what else is there for me to hesitate about?"

Chen Mo decided not to overthink, standing up to approach them, he wrapped his arms around both, smiling, "If you love a girl, you must love everything about her, including her girlfriends and sisters... Zhixia is right, good sisters naturally share everything."

Ling Ningzhi buried her face beside his neck, too shy to raise her head.

...

...

"Wa-wait a moment, Daoist, hold me a bit..."

"Sit steady, hold tight, and prepare to operate your energy."

"Mmm—"

"Don't be afraid, calm yourself, follow my guidance as a Daoist, try to feel the Dao Power of the other and merge your True Yuan into the cycle."

"But I'm really panicking, I can't calm down at all... brother, don't move around..."

Outside the courtyard.

Ji Hongxiu sat on a stone chair, listening to the sounds coming from the room, her ears heating up, her mind in a chaotic whirl.

Even though she mastered the art of divination, when she established the sect rule of "prohibiting romantic interests," she couldn't foresee that she would end up with her disciple's man, even participating in such an absurd master-disciple endeavor.

But everything had naturally come to this. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"The disciple holds the cause, the master inherits the effect. The day when yin and yang reverse is when cause and effect are reforged."

"Perhaps this is destiny, but I didn't expect the master's prophecy to be proven so quickly..."

Ji Hongxiu sighed silently.

"Now you realize it's destined? If I hadn't acted, you'd have already been burned to ashes by Karmic Fire," the voice of Yin God suddenly resonated: "Who's calling me reckless, you were so keen last night, who knows why."

Ji Hongxiu furrowed her brow, coldly replying, "I told you to reflect properly, why are you out again?"

Yin God spoke discontentedly, "Who's supposed to reflect? Without me, how would you quickly break the ice with Qingxuan? Not only are you ungrateful, but you even criticize me in return. Truly heartless..."

Ji Hongxiu remained silent upon hearing this.

In some sense, Yin God's words were not entirely incorrect.

During this period, she's constantly felt uneasy, with guilt and fear swirling inside her, guilty for wronging her beloved disciple, yet worried that it would lead to being forced away from Chen Mo...

After Yin God's meddling, instead, they managed to speak openly with each other.

Although it was inevitably still a bit awkward and shameful, considering the current situation, it was already the best outcome.

The Yin God snorted coldly and said smugly, "I may not be as good as you in cultivation, but when it comes to matters between men and women, you're far behind me. Remember, being indecisive only leads to missed opportunities. If you don't want to regret it for life, you must take the initiative."

Ji Hongxiu sensed that there was more to her words, frowned, and said, "Speak directly, don't beat around the bush."

"Have your consequences not fully subsided yet? Who knows how long Chen Mo will be in the Secret Realm this time. Are you sure you can hold on?"

The Yin God paused slightly and continued, "Moreover, Consort Yu already knows about your relationship. When Chen Mo returns to the Capital City, she will definitely be on guard, and it won't be easy to meet again. If you don't cherish the time you have together, are you planning to obediently guard the gate here?"

"You mean..."

Ji Hongxiu realized, shaking her head repeatedly, "No, how can I possibly do such a thing?"

"It's not like it's the first time, what are you afraid of?" The Yin God's voice was full of temptation. "If you can't bear the embarrassment, then let me take over. I'll share the memories with you afterwards. It won't be any different from experiencing it yourself."

"..."

Ji Hongxiu clenched her slender hand, remained silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "My Divine Soul is not yet recovered and needs rest. I can temporarily give you control over my body, but that doesn't mean I agree to your mischief. Whatever you do has nothing to do with me..."

"Don't worry, it's all on me, and has nothing to do with you." The Yin God promised.

Ji Hongxiu slowly lowered her head.

A moment later, she lifted her head again, with a lazy expression, her cheeks flushed and her mouth curved in a clear arc, "Hmph, pretending to be serious, if you really wanted me to reflect, you would have locked me up directly in the small dark room. You let me out on purpose, as if I don't know what you're thinking?"

"But it doesn't matter, as long as I can spend more time with Chen Mo, it's worth it."

Without any hesitation, she pushed open the door and walked in.

After a short while, a cry came from the room.

"Master?!"

"You, how did you get in here?"

"I thought about it, and that cultivation technique doesn't seem perfect yet. There are some details that need adjusting. To prevent Miss Shen from going astray, I've decided to personally offer some guidance."

"How do you plan to guide?"

"Why don't I first demonstrate it to you guys?"

"???"

…

…

The next morning, the sky was barely lit.

A large flying boat was docked at the mountain gate, with a dozen or so figures standing on the open ground beside it.

Besides the disciples heading to Qing Province, Huo Wuya and several elders were also present.

Zi Lianji stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Master, the personnel have been assembled, and we can depart at any time."

"Mm, let's wait a bit more, Chen should be coming soon." Huo Wuya stroked his beard, looking toward Lingxiao Peak.

Before long, two figures flew over, it was Chen Mo and Ling Ningzhi.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting," Chen Mo cupped his hands.

"It's fine. Seeing Chen so full of vitality, it seems you had a good rest last night?" Huo Wuya said with a smile.

"More or less," Chen Mo chuckled.

Beside him, Ling Ningzhi's face was burning hot, staring fixedly at her toes.

In truth, last night was even more outrageous than the previous two, especially when Master suddenly entered, making the situation even more chaotic. Chen Mo used some Daoist Skill, creating sparks and lightning all the way, leaving no room for resistance...

"By the way, where is the Daoist Venerable?" Huo Wuya asked.

"Master went ahead to Qingzhou to meet up with Elder Zhu and the others," Ling Ningzhi replied.

"Alright, let's set off then." Huo Wuya nodded.

Chen Mo glanced back before following the others onto the flying boat.

The array lights glowed as the flying boat swiftly and steadily left the mountain gate, breaking through the air.

Inside the bedroom at the top of the mountain, Shen Zhixia, wrapped in a cloak, sat by the window, watching the light streak across the sky until it disappeared from view, then withdrew her gaze.

Looking down at the piece of cloth she had just cut, her cheeks flushed slightly as she carefully folded it and put it away.

"Besides Daoist Qingxuan, the Daoist Venerable, and the Hundred Household Officer, I think I rank fourth?"

"Mm, not too far behind, still acceptable..."

The Eighth Shen counted on his fingers, muttering to himself.
