Chapter 214: A full day and night, Fei Yan outside the door listened, blushing!
After Li Mo asked, Fei Yan gave him a deep look.
After some thought,
she said meaningfully, “Then why not, husband, weren’t you able to distinguish me from Yan Lingji even without lighting a lamp?”
Li Mo casually replied, “You react differently.”
After saying that, he suddenly understood.
So that’s how it is.
Fei Yan is the reserved type, mostly passive.
But Yan Lingji is different, with a wild streak in her bones.
She always likes to fight to the death.
Li and Bai Xianwu must be different too.
At that time, their reactions would indicate who has the upper hand.
Li Mo nodded.
His wife was smart.
What an illustrative example!
He raised his hand and took out the Linglong Tower.
A stream of light appeared, and Li emerged from within.
“Take a look at this body, are you satisfied?”
As she listened to Li Mo, her gaze fell on the bed.
She carefully examined Bai Xianwu’s appearance.
Apart from lacking vitality, her features were impeccable.
Comparable to Fei Yan and Jing Ni.
Her eyes showed a hint of devilish charm, adding to her allure.
“Satisfied, thank you, Master.”
Bai Xianwu’s appearance greatly exceeded Li’s expectations.
Her eyes lit up.
How could she not be satisfied?
Even if Li Mo gave her an ugly body, she wouldn’t complain.
Moreover, Bai Xianwu had the looks and a great figure.
And she held a high status in Han.
The main point was this:
If she could control this body, she could live a normal life.
She would inherit everything from this body.
“Alright, let’s begin.”
Li Mo didn’t say much more.
He had already discussed everything that needed to be said.
He had warned of the process and the dangers.
And Li’s decision was firm and resolute.
“The process will last twelve hours. I have informed Jing Ni. During this period, I will guard you and make sure no one disturbs you.”
Seeing Li a bit nervous, Fei Yan reassured her.
Li first froze,
then blushed and looked at Li Mo.
Twelve hours!
A whole day and night!
Is the master made of iron?
No wonder the Empress Dowager always screamed!
Actually, she misunderstood.
It wasn’t twelve consecutive hours, but within this timeframe, Li Mo could adjust as needed.
If Li fell short, he would assist her.
Fei Yan raised her hands and started to move.
A golden light appeared atop Bai Xianwu’s Baihui acupoint.
The sealed “dragon aura” began to dissipate.
A few breaths later, the unconscious Bai Xianwu abruptly opened her eyes.
The room temperature instantly dropped again.
“Go in!”
Fei Yan’s delicate face was stern as she softly ordered Li.
At the crucial moment, Li dared not hesitate and, with a mix of anticipation and shyness, transformed into a stream of light and entered Bai Xianwu’s body.
Immediately, the two began to entangle and vie for control within the same body.
The body trembled, and in the opened eyes, two different expressions alternated.
Fei Yan moved her delicate hand again.
A thread of “Dragon’s Travel Qi” turned into a long needle, sealing the Baihui Acupoint once more.
The trembling body gradually calmed down.
The eyes started to slowly close.
On the surface, everything seemed to have settled down.
The Baihui Acupoint was sealed, along with Li’s consciousness.
Fei Yan glanced back at Li Mo and softly said, “Let her get used to it first; I’ll release this consciousness-controlling Dragon’s Travel Qi after one incense stick’s time.”
“By then, both their consciousnesses will awaken, and it will all depend on you, my husband.”
Li and Bai Xianwu’s consciousnesses were sealed together within the body.
Although it appeared calm on the surface, the two had already begun their struggle inside.
With Li’s strength, without external help, she could hold out for at most one hour.
Li Mo went forward and touched the body’s hand.
It was still icy cold, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice.
Is she going to turn into an ice block?
“Will you stay here with me, madam?”
He withdrew his hand and then placed it on Fei Yan’s warm little hand.
The chill disappeared instantly.
Fei Yan’s face reddened, and she bashfully said, “No way, you must not be disturbed; I will stand guard outside.”
One hour later.
Fei Yan, with a flushed face, exited the room.
She turned and closed the door.
With her guarding the door, not even a fly could get in.
Time slowly passed,
the setting sun gradually disappeared in the west,
and a round moon rose in the east.
The bright and pure moonlight bathed the entire mountain.
The manor lit up with lanterns.
Maids lit each lamp, creating a brilliantly lit dining hall.
A group of elegantly beautiful women arrived, each unique and stunning.
Yan Lingji, in a fiery red dress, and Hongliang, in a pink palace dress, walked in together.
Now the two were master and disciple.
Hongliang, the little disciple, was constantly showing her diligence.
“Come, come, master, have a seat first~.”
Upon entering the dining hall, she pulled out a seat.
She wiped the nonexistent dust with her sleeve.
Yan Lingji, satisfied, narrowed her eyes and sat down.
The other women immediately cast surprised glances at them.
“Master? Hongliang has taken you as a master?”
Seeing Hongliang, sitting next to Yan Lingji, Lady Mingzhu couldn’t help but ask.
“Mm, it happened this afternoon.”
Yan Lingji contentedly sipped the tea poured by Hongliang.
Taking a princess as a disciple is quite prestigious.
Lady Mingzhu and Lady Hu shared a glance.
Their expressions turned odd.
“What is it? Is there a problem?”
Seeing them holding back laughter, as if wanting to say something, Yan Lingji couldn’t help but ask.
Lady Mingzhu shook her head, but couldn’t hide her smile.
“No, no problem, as long as your heart is big enough.”
Lady Mingzhu and Lady Hu were well aware of Honglian’s personality.
Previously, Emperor Han had hired many teachers for her.
They were either driven away or driven to despair.
You asked her to practice swordsmanship, she insisted on wielding a saber.
You asked her to wield a saber, she insisted on playing with a halberd.
Ninety pounds of body, and eighty-eight pounds of rebellion.
“Strange and bizarre,”
Yan Lingji murmured, seeing Lady Mingzhu unwilling to speak.
“Let’s eat, and rest early; you’ve all worked hard these past few days.”
At this moment, Jing Ni walked in with the maids.
As the main wife, Jing Ni still had a strong presence.
An air of mature authority, like a cool, aloof CEO.
“Mr. and Fei Yan haven’t come yet, shall we wait?”
Zinv glanced at the main seat beside Jing Ni and asked.
Just right this time to explain to them.
“They’re not coming; they are dealing with Bai Xianwu’s matters.”
“Do not disturb them until it’s over.”
Lady Mingzhu was acting like nothing had happened.
Eating and drinking as usual.
As if Bai Xianwu had nothing to do with her.
She was really startled when Bai Xianwu was brought back a few days ago.
Although they hadn’t seen each other for twenty years, she remembered Bai Xianwu’s appearance clearly.
Seeing her again twenty years later, she was still so young.
No change at all from before.
Lady Mingzhu resembled her in looks.
If they stood together, anyone would think they were sisters.
Lady Mingzhu exuded mature sensuality, which made her look like the elder sister.
Half an hour later.
After everyone finished eating and dispersed.
Jing Ni ordered someone to prepare meals, dismissed the maid, and brought the meal box to Fei Yan’s courtyard by herself.
There weren’t many who knew how to handle Bai Xianwu.
If Li Mo didn’t say, others usually wouldn’t ask about what he was doing.
But Jing Ni was different.
She and Li Mo had misunderstandings at the beginning because of Luo Network, so Li Mo got used to telling her everything.
She knew exactly how to handle Bai Xianwu.
Li Mo was too busy to eat, but he couldn’t let Fei Yan go hungry too.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, a fierce aura locked onto her.
But it dissipated into nothingness moments later.
Jing Ni acted as if nothing had happened.
She walked into the courtyard as usual.
Placed the meal box in the pavilion, glanced at the closed door, and asked, “How’s it going, smoothly?”
Fei Yan gently shook her head.
“Did something go wrong?” Jing Ni asked nervously.
Fei Yan pointed to the side room and slowly said, “No movement, I don’t know how it’s going; you can go and listen.”
Jing Ni frowned, glanced at her suspiciously, then went to the door and pressed her ear against it.
Her face quickly turned red.
She turned back and glared at Fei Yan speechlessly.
You call this no movement?
The smile at the corner of Fei Yan’s mouth suddenly became sly.
How could she feel awkward alone? Of course, she needed someone to share the awkwardness.
Feeling embarrassed by Fei Yan’s little trick, Jing Ni didn’t stay at the door long.
She returned and said stiffly, “Let’s eat first. Do you need me to watch over so you can rest?”
Fei Yan was nibbling on the food she brought.
She stopped upon hearing this and said, “No need, but you can take over for a while, I’ll go take a bath.”
Jing Ni couldn’t help but glance between her legs.
You are quite sensitive.
With Fei Yan’s sharp perception, she naturally noticed where Jing Ni’s eyes fell.
Unconsciously, she clamped her legs tighter.
Another half hour passed.
After eating and bathing, Fei Yan emerged from the master bedroom.
Jing Ni didn’t leave in a hurry; she sat in the courtyard chatting with her.
“Did you encounter anything during this trip to Han?” Jing Ni suddenly asked.
“Something?” Fei Yan asked with slight confusion. They encountered many things. Which one are you asking about?
Considering the many events along the way, Li Mo couldn’t detail them all to Jing Ni.
Jing Ni nodded and said, “Husband told me to arrange for someone to track down the Seven Constellations of Azure Dragon upon his return. He wasn’t interested in this before.”
The Seven Constellations of Azure Dragon were scattered across seven nations.
But they might not all be hidden in the royal palaces.
Jing Ni followed orders.
Whatever Li Mo asked her to do, she did.
Under necessary circumstances, she rarely asked why.
After thinking for a moment, Fei Yan replied, “Husband seeks immortality.”
Jing Ni was stunned by her words.
She looked at Fei Yan and asked, “Immortality? Does that really exist?”
Fei Yan pointed to the side room.
“Isn’t that inside an alternative form of immortality?”
She referred to Bai Xianwu.
A unique existence with an incorruptible body.
However, Fei Yan then contradicted herself, “It’s just that her way of achieving immortality is quite unconventional, and the cost is too great. Moreover, it also requires blood to sustain it. Rather than calling it immortality, it would be more accurate to say she transformed herself.”
Jing Ni continued, “It’s said that her power comes from the darkness. What kind of place is that?”
Fei Yan gently shook her head. “The Yin-Yang School does have some records, but they are not detailed.”
“The records state that it is a ruined world, one that has been abandoned and then forgotten.”
“Perhaps when Li takes control of Bai Xianwu’s body and gains her memories, we can ask her.”
The year Bai Xianwu disappeared was very likely the year she went to that place.
If Li can inherit her body, he will naturally be able to glimpse the memories within it.
Jing Ni nodded. She didn’t say anything more.
She stayed with Fei Yan until late at night before returning to her own courtyard.
As soon as Jing Ni left, the courtyard became quiet again.
Listening to the sounds that started up again inside the house, Fei Yan blushed and clamped her legs together.
If she had known, she would have asked Jing Ni to wait a moment so she could take a bath first.
The night passed quickly.
Daytime arrived.
Until the afternoon, apart from Jing Ni, who personally brought Fei Yan her meal, no one else came.
Jing Ni still had a lot to deal with during the day and didn’t stay long.
At sunset, the door of the side room finally opened from the inside.
Fei Yan looked toward the door and her face instantly turned pale.
“Husband!”
She looked anxious and instantly moved beside Li Mo.
Li Mo, dressed in clothes, was in an extremely frightful state.
His face was ashen, and his lips were purple.
His teeth were uncontrollably chattering.
The moment Fei Yan came over, he looked as if he had found a savior.
He grabbed Fei Yan and headed for the master bedroom.
“Quick, let’s go inside the room.”
As he spoke, a plume of white mist escaped from his mouth.
Fei Yan, bewildered, was pulled inside by him.
Before she could ask what was wrong, Li Mo bent down and picked her up.
Realizing what was happening, Fei Yan quickly pushed him away.
“Husband, I… I need to take a bath first.”
Li Mo turned a deaf ear, unwilling to wait even a moment.
As Fei Yan let out a soft moan, the last ray of sunlight disappeared over the western horizon.
Night fell.
“Hah~ finally, I feel better.”
On the bed, Li Mo breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Fei Yan lay in his arms motionless, almost like she had fallen asleep.
Or rather, not completely motionless—upon closer inspection, her fair shoulders were trembling slightly.
After a long while, she seemed to regain her senses as if her spirit returned to her body.
She softly opened her beautiful eyes, filled with lingering affection.
In a tender voice, she asked, “Husband, are you feeling better?”
Lovingly, Li Mo tried to arrange her disheveled hair—failing after several tries.
He decided to reach around to the back of her head and pull out the hairpin.
Her long, cloudlike hair cascaded down.
“It’s okay now; I feel much better.”
After nearly freezing into an ice block at Bai Xianwu’s place for a day and a night, it was like being in an ice cellar.
One or two times would have been fine, but Li Yuan was no match for Bai Xianwu. He’d helped her several times.
Fortunately, Fei Yan was here.
From the ice cellar to the furnace, her abnormally high temperature warmed him right up.
Hearing this, Fei Yan was finally relieved.
Li Mo’s appearance when he came out just now had really frightened her.
She had thought something had gone wrong on Li’s side.
So it turned out… it was simply because that body’s temperature was too low, and he had almost been frozen.
Late into the night.
In the adjacent room lay a figure quietly.
Under the blanket, there was no sign of movement.
It was as if the person on the bed wasn’t breathing at all.
The room’s temperature was noticeably colder than outside.
Among the chilling air was a faint scent of osmanthus flowers, making it both eerie and strange.
The room was shrouded in darkness and absolute silence.
The body lying on the bed resembled a frozen sculpture.
Unknown how much time had passed.
The tightly closed window was suddenly gently pushed open a crack.
Two glowing eyes shone in the darkness like ghost fires.
The eerie eyes looked at the bed through the crack in the window.
Immediately, the window was pushed open a bit further.
A shadow nimblely jumped into the room.
The shadow cautiously moved forward in the dark.
“Meow~”
A black cat, origin unknown, silently slipped into the room and came to the bedside.
With a leap, it jumped onto the bed.
The glowing eyes curiously observed the person lying motionless like a corpse in the darkness.
After watching for a while, the black cat noticed no reaction from her and grew bolder.
A furry paw reached towards the pale face.
Just as the paw touched the face,
The body suddenly opened its eyes wide!
