Luo Tangtang was still completely bewildered when she walked out of the Main Hall.
System, what does Zhiyü want the Spring Fever Bind for?
Irrelevant personnel, this System knows nothing. The System replied very casually.
Can Zhiyü be called irrelevant personnel? Luo Tangtang’s face instantly darkened.
Tangtang, your task is the female lead. The System spoke earnestly and naggingly, What you should be doing now is going to care about the female lead, cherish the female lead, not thinking about what other men want to do here!
Luo Tangtang: “…” Fine, this conversation was over.
Luo Tangtang sighed and couldn’t help but rub her forehead.
“Tangtang, what’s wrong?”
“Senior Brother Lu.” Luo Tangtang saw the approaching person, dressed in simple and elegant green robes, with a smile on his lips, and bowed to him. This was Zhiyü’s first disciple, and also Luo Tangtang’s senior brother.
Lu Qingyan smiled gently, his eyes filled with concern. “Tangtang is not in a good mood today?”
Luo Tangtang pouted, a hint of melancholy slowly filling her eyes. “Yeah, Master scolded me again!”
“Senior Brother is bringing Master snow pear soup again!” Luo Tangtang looked at the jade porcelain bowl on the black lacquer tray in Lu Qingyan’s hand, then looked at the red-lipped, white-toothed Lu Qingyan.
“Yes!” A hint of helplessness flashed in Lu Qingyan’s eyes. “Master has to drink this every day, otherwise her temper gets especially irritable.”
“Qingyan! What are you doing? Aren’t you coming in?” Zhiyü’s impatient voice came from inside the hall.
“I’ll go in first.”
“Mhm mhm!” Luo Tangtang nodded, watching Lu Qingyan’s tall and upright back. A thought that made her scalp tingle suddenly surfaced in her mind.
“Ugh~” Luo Tangtang immediately shook her head in disgust. “Another abnormal person.”
Host.
“Huh?”
“What’s wrong?” Luo Tangtang asked when the System called out to her once and then stayed silent.
Are you heading towards Misty Peak? The System roared.
Luo Tangtang immediately covered her ears with her hands. “Lower your voice.”
She was certainly not going to Misty Peak. Luo Tangtang paused her steps, looking at the row of small, towering pavilions lined up before her – the Scripture Pavilion.
Luo Tangtang chuckled softly. To capture an excellent woman, I naturally have to improve myself first.
“Hmph!” A small furry ball dropped from mid-air. Luo Tangtang caught it with one hand, her eyes narrowed in a smile. “Tsk tsk, System, you’re really cute.”
“Hmph, meow meow meow meow.” The small white ball nimbly jumped onto Luo Tangtang’s shoulder, extended a paw, and swatted fiercely at Luo Tangtang.
This System is going to be driven crazy by you.
Luo Tangtang smiled helplessly. She extended two fingers, hooked them around the System’s neck, and lifted it up. “Alright, you behave yourself.”
The System’s round cat eyes were practically a copy of Luo Tangtang’s. Its eyes turned red. “Meow, you’d better cultivate properly. If the female lead runs off with someone, I’ll scratch you to death, meow!”
“Of course!” Luo Tangtang was still smiling, raising an eyebrow, her tone full of mirth.
The Supreme Immortal Sect’s collection of scriptures could be called the best in the world. Luo Tangtang was startled by the mountain of books the moment she entered.
She went directly to the underground scripture room. Unusual and strange books were usually kept there.
“Nobody guarding it?” Luo Tangtang looked surprised at the empty space where someone should have been sitting.
Luo Tangtang gently righted the System, who was slipping around and about to fall off her arms. “Never mind, let’s just go in and take a look!”
As soon as she entered, a pungent, heavy smell of alcohol rushed into her nose. Luo Tangtang immediately took out a handkerchief and tightly covered her nose and mouth.
Tangtang, you still have me! The small kitten’s soft, trembling voice sounded by Luo Tangtang’s ear.
“Ugh~” The System dropped from Luo Tangtang’s neck. Luo Tangtang quickly caught it and held it in her arms.
Cats’ sense of smell was still very sharp. Luo Tangtang was incomparably grateful that she was in human form.
However—”Ugh,” this smell was really pungent!
Many bamboo slips were scattered on the ground, and the bamboo slips placed on the bookshelves were also covered in a lot of dust. It was clear they hadn’t been cleaned for a long time.
Luo Tangtang cautiously stepped forward, stretching her neck to look. “Where do I find anything in so many books?”
You can try the shelf for dual cultivation pleasure!
Luo Tangtang looked down and saw the System, its cat face buried in her arms, with one white paw sticking up, pointing straight ahead.
She looked up and saw the large, gilded words on the side of the bookshelf – Dual Cultivation Pleasures, Close Confidantes.
Luo Tangtang: “…”
“…Uh.” Luo Tangtang stepped forward. She didn’t know how many books she looked at, but there wasn’t a shadow of the Spring Fever Bind, though her own face turned red and her heart pounded.
Could human body structures twist to this extent? Luo Tangtang stared wide-eyed at the entangled figures on the bamboo slips, feeling embarrassed.
The more she looked, the more shocking it was. Tangtang, look at the one to your left? The System reminded her.
“?”
Luo Tangtang looked at the bamboo slip on her left, which was wrapped tightly.
“Just how many layers are there!” Luo Tangtang was speechless, looking at the discarded pieces of cloth and bamboo tubes on the ground. It was wrapped too tightly!
Finally, a thumb-length bamboo strip lay quietly in Luo Tangtang’s palm. “Tsk tsk, only this much is left!”
Luo Tangtang gently injected spiritual energy into it. The bamboo strip flashed with a silver light, and Luo Tangtang felt images continuously flooding into her mind.
“Bang!” Luo Tangtang threw the bamboo strip away as if it had burned her.
“System.” Luo Tangtang ground her teeth. She grabbed the cat with one hand and held it up. “You did that on purpose, didn’t you!”
“Meow oh~, what did you see?” The System’s eyes were pure and extremely innocent.
“You—ah.” Luo Tangtang thought of the images in her mind and—they were a method for dual cultivation between women, described in extraordinary detail.
“How was it? Good to look at?”
“Ah!” Luo Tangtang’s heart leaped, and panic appeared on her face.
“You—who are you?” Luo Tangtang silently took a step back, looking with some disgust at the… uncle? who had suddenly appeared before her.
The person before her was bleary-eyed and drunk, with a scraggly beard. His hair was all clumped together, God knows how long it hadn’t been cleaned. What was even more terrifying was that he wasn’t wearing shoes… It was simply unbearable to look at.
“Hey! I’ve been here for so many years, and I’ve never seen anyone look at these dual cultivation manuals as seriously as you.”
The uncle smiled lecherously, his eyes almost squinting into a line. “I still have many here. Just now, you were looking at the cultivation methods between female cultivators.”
His body moved, and before Luo Tangtang could react, he was already standing beside her. The uncle whispered mysteriously, “I have the ultimate edition here, do you want it?”
“…Uh, no, no!” Luo Tangtang was so awkward her breathing was nearly erratic.
“Oh, what’s the big deal!”
The uncle thumped his chest, his face densely covered in beard trembling along with the motion. He was full of disdain. “I can’t stand this about the Supreme Immortal Sect the most. They have to be secretive about everything.”
Luo Tangtang’s face twitched, and she awkwardly agreed. “Yes, yes, that’s right, absolutely.”
Holy crap! If they didn’t hide it, were they supposed to tell everyone in the world that the dignified Supreme Immortal Sect, the number one immortal sect in the world, was a gathering place for perverts?!
Seeing Luo Tangtang’s unwilling expression, the man’s eyes narrowed, and he played his trump card. “I have the bamboo strips for the Spring Fever Bind, you know!”
“What?” Luo Tangtang instantly looked up, looking at the person before her with caution in her heart.
“Don’t look at me like that. You’re not thinking of killing me, are you? With your level of cultivation, you can’t beat me.” The uncle puffed out his beard and glared at Luo Tangtang.
The tension in Luo Tangtang’s heart eased for a moment. He was right; with her Core Formation stage cultivation, she couldn’t see the depth of this person before her at all. If he had ill intentions, she wouldn’t be able to stand here safely talking to him.
“How could that be!” Thinking this through, Luo Tangtang’s face instantly broke into a smile. “I was just… a little startled, that’s all.”
Luo Tangtang’s fingers tightened slightly, and the cat in her arms let out a sharp, rapid meow~, its fur standing on end. Thinking of something else perhaps, it tremblingly buried its face in Luo Tangtang’s arms as if guilty, not daring to speak.
“You promise me one thing, and I’ll give you the the Spring Fever Bind bamboo strips.”
“What?” Luo Tangtang probed questioningly.
The uncle’s tone changed. “Heh heh, you have to tell me first how effective the Spring Fever Bind is, and if it’s really as soul-stirring and bone-deep as the rumors say.”
Damn it! Luo Tangtang’s face instantly turned liver-colored. She roared, grabbed a pile of bamboo slips, and threw them at him. “Go to hell!”
She couldn’t stay here! She turned around and left without looking back.
