Chapter 458: 458. The smell dissipates
The “Technique of Observing Beauty” of the Joyful Sect was not originally intended to search for the most exceptional beauties, but to find disciples with outstanding talent to ensure the inheritance of the sect.
This secret method could deduce the physical condition and root bone aptitude of a woman from her exposed facial features, hair, fingers, and even a mole on her face.
Every major sect had similar methods for selecting worthy heirs.
Hence, it is said that there is no intrinsic good or evil in cultivation techniques, it all depends on how they are used.
At this moment, as everyone was undressed in the hot spring, Li Pei, with a curious mind, tried to verify her learning with a few beauties.
When observing the Liao Family Sisters, she marveled at how accurate the secret method was, pinpoint accurate.
But when she saw her own master, Li Pei started to doubt if she hadn’t fully mastered the technique, as her observation seemed off.
“The area between the eyebrows is relaxed, and the ‘Su Liao Acupoint’ at the tip of the nose is smoothly connected to the Huiyin Acupoint… This is a characteristic of a married woman!”
“But that’s impossible, Master has always been chaste and has never been with a man…”
Emboldened by the alcohol, Li Pei daringly reached out to touch Yu Yanmei.
No matter the method, relying solely on sight would not yield 100% accurate information; one had to personally handle the matter to be sure.
However, in an instant, everyone’s view blurred, and by the time they came to their senses, Yu Yanmei had already grabbed Li Pei’s neck and subdued her like a kitten.
She remained calm, drained her cup of Immortal Brew, and said, “You are getting more and more disrespectful.”
Liao Ya and Liao Qe each said with a cheeky grin:
“You haven’t used this secret method to look at yourself, have you?”
“Right, you are also a top-notch favorite of the Joyful Sect.”
No longer feeling inferior, Li Pei was now even proud, “Would my lord favor it… Ouch!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Yu Yanmei raised her hand and “smack smack smack,” spanked Li Pei’s white and rounded buttocks fiercely three times, leaving three bright red handprints.
“For your lack of shame! For your disrespect towards your elders and superiors!”
“I dare not, I dare not, stop hitting~”
Li Pei quickly begged for mercy, and Liao Ya refilled Yu Yanmei’s cup with Immortal Brew to stabilize the situation.
The group of women once again drank their cups in one go, and the 10-jin jar of wine was already more than half-empty unknowingly.
“It’s been a while since I’ve felt this dizzy sensation.”
Liao Qe leisurely leaned against the edge of the pool, her clear apricot eyes veiled with a layer of mist:
“I wonder when Lu Yao will return, I want him to taste this Golden Stem Immortal Brew too.”
Li Pei, her cheeks flushed and toying with an empty wine cup, giggled, “It’s barely been a week, and you miss your lord already?”
Liao Qe slightly shyly nodded, “I miss him every day I don’t see him, wishing I could be by his side all the time.”
Seeing the girl’s frankness, Li Pei didn’t feel like teasing her any longer and splashed herself with a handful of hot spring water.
“Now that you mention it, I’m starting to miss him too, why has he been gone for so long…”
The hot spring water flowed down her snow-white and delicate skin.
“However, when he comes back, we have to work together to drain him dry, so he doesn’t get too many ideas~”
Hearing this, Liao Ya covered Li Pei’s mouth, “Grandmaster Yu is still here, what nonsense are you talking about!”
Liao Qe burst into laughter, her body shaking like a flower in the breeze:
“Sister Li Pei, you always said that you didn’t mind men having multiple wives and concubines, but now you’re keeping such a tight watch on Lu Yao, fearing the addition of another sister.”
Li Pei laughed at herself and poured herself another full cup.
“I was foolish back then… Now I really want to tear off my own tongue. I absolutely don’t want to share Lu Yao with anyone else.”
Following that, she raised her glass in a toast to the Liao Family Sisters, “Of course, excluding you two. As sisters united, let’s keep a tight watch on this delectable hunk of a man~”
Liao Ya and Liao Qe didn’t wish for another to join the competition either, and with faces full of fighting spirit, they clinked their glasses together.
Yu Yanmei, seeing this scene, felt extremely embarrassed. Her face struggled to maintain composure as she forced herself not to lose her cool and stood up, saying:
“Immortal Brew is good, but don’t drink too much of it. I’m going out for some fresh air; you all enjoy your soak.”
Having said that, she got up from the hot spring, and in the blink of an eye, her True Qi whisked the water away, leaving her dry.
She then rustled into her clothes and, swaying her elegant form, left.
Liao Qe watched Yu Yanmei’s retreating figure for a while and said unintentionally, “After the trip to Emperor Qin’s Underground Palace, Grandmaster Yu seems to have developed more of a woman’s charm.”
The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took profound interest—the proverbial lightbulb went off in Li Pei’s mind!
Drawing on her own wit and the powerful memory granted by her state of composure, she quickly connected all the loose ends and the oddities about Yu Yanmei and Lu Yao.
[The change in my master’s body, the Spiritual Sparrowhawk’s sudden acceptance of her, the strange atmosphere between them lately… could something have happened in the Underground Palace?]
[That’s right, the battlefield was enveloped in the pink desire force of the underlings of the Joyful Bodhisattva, which had a strong aphrodisiac effect…]
As her thoughts raced, Li Pei’s expression became more and more grave.
“What’s wrong?” @@novelbin@@
At this moment, Liao Ya waved her hand in front of Li Pei’s face, interrupting her train of thought.
Li Pei chuckled and shook her head lightly, “It’s nothing; I might be overthinking it. Let’s keep drinking~”
On the surface, she seemed fine, but in her heart, a thorn had taken root.
~~~~~~~~
After leaving the hot spring, Yu Yanmei didn’t know if it was the alcohol or embarrassment, but she felt her face burning hot.
Looking up at the three Spiritual Sparrowhawks in the sky, she waved her arms frantically, wanting to fly up and catch a breeze.
But none of them came down, and just as she was starting to wonder, Ping An, the one she had interacted with the most, skillfully rode the air currents and landed gracefully.
Yu Yanmei affectionately reached for its neck, but after sniffing her a couple of times, Ping An abruptly retreated, clearly rejecting her approach.
Then, with a flapping of wings amidst a whirl of dust and stones, Ping An returned to the sky.
Yu Yanmei stood frozen, instantly realizing the reason.
Even the most potent smells fade with time.
It had been nearly 20 days since her last intimate contact; the scent of Lu Yao on her was now almost gone, hence the sparrowhawks’ disinterest in attending to her.
Just as Yu Yanmei started feeling miffed, a silhouette she had been actively avoiding appeared at the foot of the mountain—it was Lu Yao returning.
Yu Yanmei immediately wanted to turn and leave, but for some reason, her feet hesitated for a moment, and by the time she made up her mind, she had already clearly seen him.
Her expression changed, and instead of avoiding him, she moved closer:
“You… You’ve opened the Tanzhong Acupoint!? How daring of you! How could you do something like this by yourself!”
As she spoke, Yu Yanmei’s hand laid on Lu Yao, her True Qi probing to check that he was fine, and she only relaxed after confirming there was no issue.
In the advanced stages of the Martial Path, each breakthrough must be handled with care, not just for one’s life, but also to avoid severe residual effects that could impede future progress.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Lu Yao wrapped his hands around her slender, tense waist and said with a bashful face:
“Grandmaster Yu, I’ve had a bit of an insight and am filled with doubts; I hope you won’t begrudge your teaching. Allow me to properly contemplate the no-leak state of the body.”
Yu Yanmei pushed back against the rascal intending to fend him off, but as soon as he touched her, she went limp, devoid of any strength.
And it seemed to be a legitimate reason; Cultivation concerned life and death, and she couldn’t refuse.
