Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”Master Xue, have you prepared the Xuanyuan Water as I instructed?”

As Yun Xiao passed by Xue Tianao and entered the courtyard, he remembered something and asked, seeing the latter nod, he said no more and strode into the courtyard.

Behind him, Xue Ningxiang stomped her foot, seemingly displeased with Yun Xiao’s lack of greeting, which made the two hall masters next to her smile wryly.

Based on Xue Ningxiang’s various expressions, it was obvious that she had developed feelings for Yun Xiao. Otherwise, why would she care so much about his attitude?

But while the falling flower is interested, the flowing water is merciless. In matters of the heart, even as Xue Tianao was her father, he couldn’t force Yun Xiao to marry his daughter, could he?

After some time of interaction, Xue Tianao had some understanding of Yun Xiao. He knew that although the boy was young, he was not easily swayed; using force might only make his beloved daughter more unhappy.

With mixed feelings in their hearts, the three entered the courtyard, but as they were about to enter Xue Ningxiang’s room, Yun Xiao stretched out a hand to stop Xue Tianao.

”Master Xue, please stay here!”

Yun Xiao did not explain why he wanted Xue Tianao to stay outside, but for some reason, this youth, who only had a cultivation level of the Peak of Seeking Origin Realm, seemed to be the leader of the place; Xue Tianao actually stopped in his tracks as instructed.

”He’s my father, why can’t he come in?”

At this moment, Xue Ningxiang finally found a justified reason to speak up, her voice rough as she questioned. Although everyone in Xuanyin Hall treated her very well, her closest was undoubtedly her father.

”Well... okay, but during your treatment later, you’ll have to take off all your clothes. Though he’s your father, he’s still a man, and isn’t that inappropriate?”

Yun Xiao hesitated a bit, and what he said afterward caused Xue Ningxiang to blush deeply, also making the expressions of the two hall masters somewhat strange.

”You can look, so why can’t my father?”

It’s unclear what Xue Ningxiang was thinking, but in such an awkward atmosphere, she actually said something so bold, surprising everyone present. The two hall masters didn’t even know how to react.

”When did I ever say I wanted to look?”

The strongest trait of Yun Xiao was his ability to chat about anything. In this awkward atmosphere, he suppressed his inner oddity, and this retort finally made Xue Ningxiang realize.

Wham!

The sound of a door being forcefully pushed open echoed. Even though Xue Ningxiang was usually rather bold, she couldn’t bear the odd glances from the three people. As she turned to enter the room, they could all see her neck turn red.

”Ahem... well, maybe I won’t go in after all!”

Having been puzzled just moments ago, Xue Tianao, after hearing Yun Xiao’s explanation, finally made the right decision. Although Xue Ningxiang was his biological daughter, she was already a twenty-year-old young woman, and it simply wasn’t appropriate.

However, after saying that, Xue Tianao turned his gaze to Yun Xiao, eyes filled with a subtle scrutiny and a hint of threat, making it clear to Yun Xiao what he was thinking.

”Master Xue, who do you take me for? Isn’t the fact that you brought Vice Hall Master Lian along a precaution?”

Yun Xiao shrugged, his words finally made Xue Tianao breathe a sigh of relief, albeit with a hint of disappointment for his daughter.

Because if Yun Xiao really had feelings for Xue Ningxiang, he would never say such things. Such a gentlemanly justification implied that he truly had no such inclinations, leaving them unsure of whether it was fortunate or unfortunate for Xue Ningxiang.

Regardless, Xue Tianao wouldn’t say much about such matters. At that moment, Yun Xiao stepped into Xue Ningxiang’s boudoir ahead of him, the faint fragrance reaching his nostrils and stirring his heart.

Although Xue Ningxiang appeared bold and broad-minded like a man in front of Yun Xiao and others, her personal room was elegantly decorated. Many of the items seemed quite new; who knows if she specifically arranged it because she knew Yun Xiao was coming?

Sitting with her feet together at the head of the bed, Xue Ningxiang appeared rather quiet, with the flush from before gone from her face. However, her lowered brows and eyes revealed her inner nervousness.

In her heart, Xue Ningxiang wasn’t clear whether she hoped Yun Xiao would see her body or not. As she wavered, her lowered gaze saw a pair of familiar toes stepping in front of her.

”Lie on the bed and pull down the curtain. Vice Hall Master Lian, you go in too and follow my instructions!”

Yun Xiao didn’t pay attention to Xue Ningxiang, who didn’t dare to raise her head. He spoke directly. When he saw that Xue Ningxiang’s bed had a curtain, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; otherwise, it would indeed be a bit challenging.

”Oh!”

Xue Ningxiang felt a slight disappointment in her heart and finally could only emit a soft sound, lying down on the bed as instructed. Behind her, Lian Yuluo also removed her shoes and socks and slipped inside, leaving Yun Xiao outside to see only two hazy, graceful figures.

”Vice Hall Master Lian, remove Miss Xue’s garments and apply the Xuanyuan Water all over her body. Remember, do not miss a single spot!”

Seeing the two of them ready, Yun Xiao slightly turned, his voice already echoing out. Immediately after, a rustling sound came from the bed behind him, inciting imagination.

At this moment, Xue Ningxiang’s face undoubtedly turned crimson red again, even her entire skin seemed to be white tinged with red. Since coming of age, this was the first time she exposed her body in front of an outsider. Although it was another woman, she still felt a bit uneasy.

Of course, most importantly, there stood outside a man who held significant meaning to her. Even with a veil separating them and Yun Xiao turning his back, this alluring sensation still made her extremely shy.

”What do we do next?”

After the sound of water ceased, it seemed that Lian Yuluo had already applied the Xuanyuan Water all over Xue Ningxiang’s body, and she asked aloud. To be honest, even for this not-so-young Vice Hall Master, it was the first time experiencing such a peculiar scene in her life.

”Feed her the Illusion Yin Pill!”

Without turning his figure, Yun Xiao’s voice echoed out, and upon hearing the breath from behind, his voice became somewhat solemn, and he whispered: ”Listen to my words, keep your mind focused, concentrate on the acupoints, there must be no slightest error!”

Recognizing the gravity in Yun Xiao’s tone, Lian Yuluo instantly refrained from any unusual thoughts. She knew this was the crucial moment for Xue Ningxiang to completely heal her Innate Pulse Cutting. Any mistake, and not only would the Illusion Yin Pill be wasted, but Xue Ningxiang might also suffer a backlash.

”Baihui, Heavenly Burst, Danzhong, Jingmen,...”

As Yun Xiao started naming the acupoints, Lian Yuluo accurately identified them. Seeing her fingers flying, she silently deciphered the locations of these acupoints in her heart, a trace of doubt unwittingly surfacing on her face.

Initially, when she heard the three acupoints Baihui, Heavenly Burst, and Danzhong, Lian Yuluo once thought Yun Xiao was directing her to press on the Ren Meridian acupoints of Xue Ningxiang. Who knew that the fourth acupoint suddenly switched to Jingmen on the left rib, causing her mind to pause momentarily, almost pressing the wrong acupoint.

Realizing and pressing on the Jingmen Acupoint, Lian Yuluo finally understood the reason Yun Xiao instructed her to keep her mind focused. It was to prevent her habitual thinking from unknowingly leading to a mistake that she would regret bitterly.

”Huiyin, Life Gate, Zhiyang, Zhangmen,...”

Similarly, among the Du Meridian’s acupoints, some special acupoints on the left and right sides were interspersed, making Lian Yuluo almost unable to keep up with the rhythm, having to rely on Yun Xiao’s voice to press each one accurately.

Sigh... Sigh...

When the last acupoint was called out from Yun Xiao’s mouth, Lian Yuluo suddenly felt a surge of special energy erupting from Xue Ningxiang underneath her. Though this special energy wasn’t too strong, it stirred up tremendous waves in the Vice Hall Master’s heart.

”Is this... a Low-level Heavenly Rank Pulse Array?!”

Being a Low-level Heavenly Stage Pulse Refiner, Lian Yuluo certainly had cultivated some powerful pulse arrays, but reaching the Heavenly Rank level, she had only cultivated one.

Earlier, Lian Yuluo didn’t think that this was a special pulse array, but she never imagined that it would be a Low-level Heavenly Rank Pulse Array.

Because even though Yun Xiao was an established top genius of Lianyun Mountain, it was simply impossible for him to have access to such a level of pulse array. Without reaching the Heavenly Rank in Meridian Refining, even knowing how to perform a pulse array would be more harm than good.

Moreover, Lian Yuluo knew that Yun Xiao came from the Hidden Dragon Continent and had been at Lianyun Mountain for less than a year.

How could the great individuals of Lianyun Mountain hand a Heavenly Rank Pulse Array to a Middle Level Earth Rank meridian refining genius in such a short time?

Additionally, from Yun Xiao’s fluent instructions just now, Lian Yuluo had reason to believe that the research this youth had done on this pulse array wasn’t something short-term. By merely listening to the sound, he seemed to be able to guess which acupoint she had pressed.

Feeling the energy in the air surging into Xue Ningxiang’s body, Lian Yuluo had no further doubts that this was indeed a genuine Low-level Heavenly Rank Pulse Array.

Thus, Lian Yuluo could also surmise that Yun Xiao inviting her along wasn’t just because of the reservations between men and women, but because at this moment, with the Low-level Heavenly Rank Pulse Array, the boy alone couldn’t possibly execute it with his Meridian Refining Technique.

Lian Yuluo guessed right. In fact, it was his last-minute decision upon knowing about Lian Yuluo, the Low-level Heavenly Stage Pulse Refiner.

Compared to the Middle Level Earth Rank Pulse Array he originally planned to use, this Low-level Heavenly Rank Pulse Array would undoubtedly provide a more perfect cure for Xue Ningxiang’s Innate Pulse Cutting.

This was a Low-level Heavenly Rank Pulse Array that Yun Xiao had practiced skillfully back in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud. To him, it was simply routine, whereas to these Meridian Refiners of the Tenglong Continent, it was strikingly extraordinary.
