Early morning hours.
Luo Qingzhou's soul left his body and flew to West Lake.
Before leaving, he floated over the mansion again and looked around carefully. After seeing that there was nothing unusual, he left with peace of mind.
On the top of the West Lake attic, a moonlit figure was already waiting there.
Xiaoyue didn't send any message tonight.
The demon girl never appeared again.
When Luo Qingzhou arrived, he greeted them, and the two of them flew to the bottom of the lake one after the other and entered the underground stone chamber.
Same as last night.
Luo Qingzhou took off his clothes, sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed, closed his eyes, and quickly entered a state of cultivation.
The moon-white figure sat down opposite him, and after a moment of silence, she stretched out her slender jade finger and touched his forehead.
Luo Qingzhou immediately felt a chill entering his body through his fingertips.
Then, the soul power in the body began to flow.
The fingertips moved slowly, and the soul power followed it, winding forward through the meridians and acupoints in the body.
Luo Qingzhou was focused and followed the airflow attentively, recording every place he passed along the way clearly in his mind.
Inside the body, the soul that had once solidified was now beating strongly and powerfully.
The entire soul seemed like a physical entity, with crystal beads of sweat oozing out of the skin, and faintly visible meridians running through the body. Under the flushing of the air flow, the meridians expanded and contracted as if breathing.
The impurities in the soul are slowly eliminated from the body.
An hour later.
Luo Qingzhou's whole body was covered in sweat, his soul heart was beating rapidly, and all his meridians and acupoints became extremely hot.
The white figure withdrew his fingertips, and after he calmed down a little, he said in a cold voice: "Stretch out your palms."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou slowly raised his hands and said weakly: "Sister Yue, be gentle..."
He still remembered the first time last night. The pain was no less than the pain of having his soul torn apart, and it felt even more intense.
A pair of soft and cold hands slowly touched his palms, and then a coolness flowed along his palms and into his arms.
Not only was there no pain tonight, but I also felt extremely comfortable.
"Hiss..."
Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but shiver and groan in pleasure.
It turned out that the meridians had been widened last night, so there was no pain today, and only the coolness washing away the hot comfort.
He immediately calmed his mind and looked carefully for the place where the air flow passed.
Unconsciously, he seemed to have suddenly entered a mysterious state and forgot everything around him.
I don’t know how much time passed.
After the airflow and soul power in his body sank into the Danhai and everything returned to calm, he slowly opened his eyes.
The pair of delicate hands that were pressing against his palms had already loosened at some point.
The two looked at each other.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Sister Yue, you have worked hard. This time, I have memorized everything completely, so I shouldn't make any mistakes."
The white figure said calmly, "Try it once first. Go slower. My fingertips are still on you. If you feel any pain in your acupoints, stop immediately. I will help you continue to move forward."
"good."
Luo Qingzhou immediately closed his eyes and began to mobilize his soul power. According to the memory in his mind, it began to move slowly through the meridians in his body.
A hint of coolness touched his chest and began to slowly flow through his body along with the soul power in his body.
Soon, he had completed the whole process without error, and immediately felt his whole soul extremely relaxed, and the beating of his soul heart in his body seemed to be even stronger.
The Yuebai figure retracted his fingertips and nodded slightly: "Not bad."
Although she only said two words, Luo Qingzhou felt greatly encouraged and said, "Thank you, Sister Yue. It's all thanks to you."
The moon-white figure looked at his sweaty face and said calmly, "Rest for a while. You can practice again tonight. From now on, you only need to practice once every night. The speed of absorbing and refining the moonlight should be much faster."
Luo Qingzhou said gratefully: "Sister Yue's kindness..."
Before he could finish, Yue Bai got off the cold jade bed, walked to the door and said, "You can practice on your own, I'll come over later."
Luo Qingzhou watched her back disappear at the door, was stunned, and looked at his hands.
The soul seemed to become more solid, the meridians inside were faintly visible, and even the vague blood vessels could be seen.
No wonder the book said that when the soul is cultivated to a certain level, it can actually be regarded as another person, and can even be separated from the physical body and become immortal.
He has to keep working hard!
After taking a short rest and wiping the sweat off his face, and waiting for his body temperature to drop, he closed his eyes and began to practice again.
The night passes quietly.
When he finished his training and opened his eyes, the white figure was standing beside him, watching him quietly. When he saw him wake up, he said, "It's dawn."
“So soon?”
Luo Qingzhou was surprised. He wiped the sweat off his face, got off the cold jade bed, and said, "Sister Yue, thank you for your hard work tonight. I can practice on my own in the future and won't bother you anymore. Also, you don't need to help me absorb the power of the moonlight. Anyway, I am practicing much faster now than before, so I don't want Sister Yue to be struck by lightning again."
The white figure turned around, with his back to him, and said in a cold voice: "Whatever."
Luo Qingzhou glanced around and said, "Why don't I see Miss Long'er tonight?"
The Yuebai figure remained motionless and ignored him.
Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Qingzhou bowed and said goodbye: "Sister Yue, I will go back first. See you tonight."
After waiting for a while and seeing that she still didn't respond, Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to disturb her anymore and walked out.
The stone chamber became quiet.
After a while, a demon girl wearing a sparkling green dress walked in from the door. Her pair of snow-white jade feet were still bare under her skirt, and the bells on her feet rang a few times.
"Sister, he left. He seemed to be in a good mood. He learned a new technique and was about to achieve a breakthrough, but he didn't seem to remember your kindness."
The white figure turned around, looked at her, and said calmly: "What do you think he should remember about me?"
The demon girl thought for a moment and said, "My sister has done so much for him. Long Er feels that he shouldn't just say words of gratitude without any action. Long Er feels that..."
The demon girl carefully observed the expression on her face and said cautiously, "Long Er thinks that he should... pledge himself to me."
After a long time.
The moon-white figure left.
The demon girl breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind, saying, "Sister, aren't you taking blood today? Thank you, Sister Yue."
Luo Qingzhou returned to his mansion, and his spirit returned to his body.
The second Miss Qin was still sleeping in his arms, her delicate body carrying a warm, delicate fragrance of a young girl.
Luo Qingzhou kissed her little mouth gently, then quietly got up and left.
Qiu'er was still standing at the door, helping him put on his shoes and waiting for him to wash.
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Did Xiaodie come back last night?"
Qiu Er whispered, "I came back a long time ago."
After a pause, she added, "I slept with Xiaodie last night."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Puff..."
From the next room, Zhu'er's giggles were suddenly heard.
Luo Qingzhou said: "Qiu'er, you sleep with Zhu'er tonight, I will go to find you. Remember to prepare more white cloths when the time comes, I want Zhu'er to cry all night."
After saying that, he left quickly.
As soon as he left the door, Zhu'er immediately poked her head out from the next room and snorted, "Bad son-in-law, you're scaring me again. Do you think I was scared? Humph, I looked in the mirror for a long time last night. I'm not afraid of him. He doesn't even dare to take it even if I give it to him for free."
Qiu'er couldn't help laughing.
When Luo Qingzhou arrived at the Eighteenth Alley, Sister Dao was already waiting at the entrance of the alley. As soon as they met, she said, "She came again last night and asked me a lot of questions. I told her the truth. I also told her that you wanted to sell these obscene clothes. But she didn't give me the money. She asked you to pay. The total is 21,200 gold coins. I'll give you a discount. 21,199. When will you pay?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately said angrily: "You betrayed me, I didn't punch you, it's good enough, and you still want to ask me for money. You should give me money."
Sister Dao said innocently, "What can I do? She is the princess, she can manipulate me at will, and I can't resist. I am not you, who can ignore her by relying on her favor."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "What did she say again?"
Sister Dao said, "She didn't say anything, but just said that you were vulgar to begin with, and that those clothes would definitely not sell."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I made a bet with her. If it can be sold, I can ask her to agree to one of my requests. If it can't be sold, I will agree to one of her requests."
Sister Dao thought for a moment and said, "I feel like you will lose."
Luo Qingzhou smiled and said, "Sister Dao, how about we make a bet? How about betting 21,199 gold coins?"
Sister Dao sneered: "Forget it, I never gamble, don't even think about getting money from me. Even if I can win, I will never gamble with you."
Luo Qingzhou said, "Then let's bet on something else, how about the pancakes you eat every morning? If I win, you have to bring me pancakes every morning, even the ones you've eaten before. If I lose, I'll give you a gold coin every day for a month, how about that?"
When Sister Dao heard about the gold coins, her eyes lit up: "Really?"
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Of course it's true. We can high-five to swear an oath."
Sister Dao suddenly asked again: "Are you going to be a rogue again?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Not this time. One gold coin per day, payable on the spot every morning."
Sister Dao pondered for a moment and said, "How many days and how many items are required?"
Luo Qingzhou said: "Five days, three items, starting from today, how about that?"
Sister Dao immediately said, "Deal!"
Then he sneered, "You want to sell three pieces of clothes like that in five days? You're dreaming! Chu Feiyang, you're doomed!"
Luo Qingzhou stretched out his hand and looked at her with a smile.
Sister Dao snorted coldly, stretched out her palm and touched his, saying: "If you break the contract, you will become a eunuch and I will become a nun!"
Luo Qingzhou thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Boyao took a day off today to help prepare for the birthday banquet and entertain guests at home. Some relatives should be coming over at noon.
Luo Qingzhou and his companions went there at night.
In the inner city.
Early this morning, Nangong Meijiao took the bellyband and the pair of stockings, and took Aunt Mu out of the Prince of Nanguo's Mansion and went to her own clothing store.
After returning home last night, she asked her maid to wash the two pieces of clothing many times. After drying them, she fumigated them with incense all night, so they still smelled fragrant at this time.
She went to the first store first.
The shop owner was a woman in her twenties named Ziyun. She quickly and respectfully welcomed her into the inner room, but after she explained her purpose, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
After seeing the clothing she took out, his face suddenly changed and he refused directly: "Miss, such clothing must not be hung here. Madam often comes here for inspections, and some of Madam's friends and some people in the palace also often come here to stroll around. If they see me... I will be dead. Besides, it's so embarrassing..."
Nangong Meijiao's cheeks also felt hot. She pleaded again, but the other party still firmly refused. She apologized and begged in various humble ways, begging her to let her go.
Nangong Meijiao had no choice but to give up.
After leaving the first store, she went into the second one.
at the same time.
In the Qin Mansion in the outer city, Song Ruyue had already gotten up early. She was wearing moon-white pajamas, sitting in front of the mirror with a graceful figure, dressing up carefully.
In addition to visiting new stores today, she also wants to go shopping with a few friends to pick out gifts.
Because today is one of her friend's birthday, she also has to attend her birthday party.
She has been very busy recently and originally didn't want to attend such a banquet, but the other party was also an acquaintance from Mo City. She met him on the street a few days ago, chatted with him for a few minutes, and then he invited her.
She is also a person who cares about her reputation, so naturally she couldn't refuse.
Moreover, she had just arrived in Kyoto and didn't have many friends here. The other party happened to be an acquaintance of Mo Cheng, so she readily agreed.
But it is really hard to understand how a woman celebrates her birthday.
The other person is only in her thirties or forties at most. She is making such a big fuss about it. Isn't she afraid that people will laugh at her age behind her back
Anyway, she would never tell anyone her real age.
I guess the other party is new to Kyoto and is short of money, so he wants to receive gifts.
Thinking this, Song Ruyue drew her eyebrows, put on lipstick, took off her pajamas, changed into a beautiful and dignified dress, and then took Mei'er out.
Qin Wen Zheng has been going out early and coming back late recently, busy with the work of cloth and tools for the garment workshop. Every time he comes back, he is so tired that he doesn't even want to talk.
Both husband and wife are busy taking care of the big family.
Second brother Qin is still practicing hard. School will start in a few days. When he goes to Longhu Academy, the two brothers will be able to see each other every day.
But there is one less man at home.
Song Ruyue has also been worried about this matter recently. After all, there are many bad guys watching her home now.
For safety reasons, she decided to wait until the new store opened and then talk to Meijiao to see if she could temporarily move to the Qin Mansion to live and practice.
With her here, ordinary villains would definitely not dare to act recklessly.
She also has her own guards.
Song Ruyue was thinking about things along the way and soon met up with two other young women on the street.
The three of them, along with their maids and servants, went to the shops in the inner city first.
