Chapter 772: Chapter 289: Ji Lianxing’s Creditor! You Want to Dual Cultivate with Me?!

"Why are you here?"

Chen Mo looked at the lazy woman on the bed, his brows furrowed, his face somewhat unsightly.

He did not expect this woman to be so bold, daring to come to the Chen Mansion. If someone discovered her, it could cause no small amount of trouble!

"Don’t be nervous." Ji Lianxing waved her hand and said, "As long as I don’t actively reveal my aura, not even your mother could perceive my presence. Besides, lying on this bed is much more comfortable than at the Imperial Music Bureau."

She lazily stretched her body, the curves of her chest becoming even more impressive, her deep purple eyes narrowing in contentment.

"..."

Chen Mo’s eyelids twitched, and he said coldly, "Don’t forget our agreement. You’re supposed to protect the women of the Xu Family safely. Is this how you protect them? What if something goes wrong during this time?"

Ji Lianxing crossed her legs, revealing a jade-like white skin beneath her skirt, and said lazily, "Don’t worry, since I dared to come to you, I naturally have everything prepared."

"Completely prepared?"

Chen Mo seemed to think of something, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Are you a paperman? Is your true body still at the Imperial Music Bureau?"

Ji Lianxing blinked, and said, "Truly clever, no wonder you’re the man my disciple has her eyes on."

So that’s how it was.

With Ji Lianxing’s cunning nature, it seemed she wouldn’t risk herself personally.

Since it was a paperman, it posed no threat, and Chen Mo’s worried heart felt slightly at ease.

Carefully examining the woman before him, he had to admit that Ji Lianxing’s Paper Puppet Technique had reached the Transformation Realm. Regardless of appearance, demeanor, or aura, it was identical to her true self.

Even though he had mastered the Green Jade Scripture, he still could not detect any flaws.

"You still haven’t answered me. What are you doing at the Chen Mansion?" Chen Mo walked up to her and said in a deep voice, "Are you trying to threaten me in this manner?"

Ji Lianxing shook her head and said, "You’ve misunderstood. I don’t have that intention. Right now, we are like grasshoppers tied to the same rope. As long as you don’t break your promise, I won’t violate the agreement either."

Chen Mo sneered inwardly, neither confirming nor denying.

The so-called agreement was nothing more than a stopgap measure.

Although the two temporarily reached cooperation, it was merely mutual exploitation. The fundamental conflict was not resolved, let alone trust.

To completely solve this problem, unless he obtained a First-class Creation Gold Contract, only then could he form an absolute constraint on her...

Ji Lianxing was unaware of Chen Mo’s thoughts and continued, "You promised to use the Azure Darkness Seal to deduce the Gu Scripture. It’s been so many days, there should be some results, right?"

"It’s just for this?"

Chen Mo asked in confusion, "Can’t it wait until I go to the Imperial Music Bureau next time? Do you really need to come to the Chen Mansion specifically?"

"Do you have the nerve to say that?"

Ji Lianxing gritted her silver teeth and said, "Whenever you come over, aren’t you always busy with those ridiculous affairs? Day and night, never ending, do I have a chance to interject?"

Scenes from the last time came to mind—

Ye Henshui and Gu Manzhi lying side by side by the window, their bodies flushed, eyes rolled back, leaving quite a psychological shadow on her.

Chen Mo’s expression was somewhat unnatural; he cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, it’s only human nature. Besides, I’m also helping them cultivate..."

Bringing this up, Ji Lianxing felt even more furious.

She had always instilled in her disciples the notion to stay away from men.

Cultivators ought to have a clear heart and few desires, sever the mortal world. Affairs between men and women only disrupt the purity of the Dao Heart, making one indulge in pleasures, tantamount to abandoning the immortal path... there wasn’t any issue with this, even the Tianshu Pavilion, one of the Three Saint Sect, required the same.

But ever since meeting Chen Mo, everything changed.

They discovered that dual cultivation with this man not only did not affect the Dao Heart but also significantly enhanced cultivation!

In merely a few days, their cultivation techniques had successively reached mastery, and now even Ye Henshui was nearing the threshold of the Fourth Rank!

Realizing that the teachings held as sacred truths were "wrong," her authority as a master naturally began to waver, and now the two have their hearts and minds fully set on Chen Mo, completely treating her words as mere noise.

"The problem is, the level increase is genuine, and there are no side effects whatsoever. I can’t even find a reason to stop it..."

"What on earth is going on? Could it be that the teachings imparted to me by my master were wrong from the start?"

"Or does this guy have some unique trait?"

As Ji Lianxing pondered deeply, she suddenly felt the bed sink slightly.

Looking up, she saw Chen Mo sitting on the edge of the bed, nearly pressed up against her.

"What are you doing?"

Just a moment ago, with a seductive demeanor, Ji Lianxing’s expression tightened, and she watched him warily.

Chen Mo said coldly, "Didn’t you say you wanted to check the progress of the Gu Scripture deduction? Also, now you’re on my bed. If you have objections, you can leave directly; no one is stopping you."

Ji Lianxing pouted and muttered, "I was just casually saying, why so fierce..."

Chen Mo opened his right hand, and a green square seal appeared out of thin air, floating above his palm.

With a slight movement of his mind, the seal dismantled and transformed like building blocks, forming a scroll with countless live characters surging around.

Ji Lianxing couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, crawled over, leaned close, and carefully read the words on the scroll.

The two were in close proximity, strands of hair brushing past his neck, making Chen Mo feel a bit itchy, his nose filled with a faint fragrance...

Strange, how could a paperman have a scent?

[The Dao of Gu is not about killing, but controlling spirits.]

[Using the soul as a guide, blood as a medium, resentment as fire, refining all beings.]

[Feed the blood... Refine the soul... Cultivate the resentment... Unite with the Dao...]

"Indeed, there is no issue."
