Chapter 157: Chapter 86: Even a Dog Wouldn’t Want It

After sparring for about ten minutes, Miao Miaomiao felt her Inner Strength stagnating. She ran her hands over the zither strings, ceasing her attack.

“I’ll explain the key principles of the Charm Immortal Technique. Listen carefully…”

Miao Miaomiao was most concerned about the Charm Immortal Technique; this was the matter that truly weighed on her heart.

She wasn’t worried about Zhao Rui learning it. First, he was already immune to her Charm Immortal Technique.

Second, it was only a fragmented technique. Even if he cultivated it, he would end up just like her—not quite human, not quite a ghost, with no one daring to come near.

Although Zhao Rui was not yet Level 8, his Power was strange. He could even manifest Sword Aura, so his strength was no less than hers.

He probably wouldn’t be interested in such a flawed Cultivation Technique.

Third, the Cultivation Methods Zhao Rui had described to counter her Charm Technique were unconventional yet profound, striking right at the heart of the problem.

It made her feel that Zhao Rui might genuinely be able to fix the flaws in her Cultivation Technique.

If he could fix it, then even if he learned it for himself, it would be better than her continuing this half-dead state of Cultivation.

She was sick of her lonely days.

Her surname was Miao, but she didn’t want to live like a stray cat!

Zhao Rui nodded, then sat cross-legged to the side, listening quietly as she explained some of the Magic Techniques of the Charm Immortal Technique.

“Sit cross-legged at the Zi hour in the Moon Grotto. Guide the Profound Lunar Qi in through the Huiyin point, pass the Weilü, ascend to the Yuzhen, and gather at the Baihui to form a starry river.

Press the tongue against the Jinjin and Yuye points. Vibrate the throat to produce the ’yi’ sound nine times—”

As he listened, Zhao Rui’s brow furrowed. ’There are too many mistakes in this.’

“Are you sure you’re not deceiving me?”

“If I were going to deceive you, why would I have agreed to this in the first place!”

Miao Miaomiao couldn’t help but get angry. She had finally worked up the determination, and he still didn’t trust her.

’How despicable.’

“This ’Profound Lunar Qi’ here, what is your interpretation of it?”

Zhao Rui asked.

“Naturally, it’s a woman’s yin energy… passing through the Mystic Pass to connect the acupoints!”

“Wrong. This refers to the essence of moonlight, an externally drawn energy!”

“This…”

The two of them talked for four hours. By the time Miao Miaomiao had a breakthrough in her understanding and was overjoyed, the moon was already setting in the west.

“Haaah!”

Zhao Rui yawned and said, “It’s the middle of the night. I should get back to sleep. I have class tomorrow!”

“Mm, okay!”

Miao Miaomiao nodded, still wishing they could continue. She had gained so much today and realized she had been misunderstanding many things all along.

She wished she could grasp the entirety of the Cultivation Technique right then and there.

“Is your bed big?”

Miao Miaomiao suddenly shot Zhao Rui a flirtatious glance, and a tantalizingly alluring charm filled his vision.

“…”

“It’s huge! Want to come try it out?”

Zhao Rui paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly.

Miao Miaomiao’s shapely eyebrows lifted. She rose to her feet, grasped the zither with one hand, and with a figure as graceful as a swallow, she suddenly leaped into the dense woods.

A moment later, her soft, charming voice drifted back from afar: “Didn’t you say that not even a dog would covet my body?”

Her enchanting voice faded, instantly dissipating into the forest!

Hearing this, Zhao Rui was left speechless. He shook his head with a light chuckle, then also rose and leaped over the courtyard wall, heading home.

In the days that followed, the two of them would meet up in the small woods from time to time to discuss Martial Arts.

In just a few short days, both of them made immense progress in their Martial Arts.

Needless to say, Zhao Rui had righteously copied the Profound Sound Sky-Cracking Chart for himself.

Although he couldn’t display it too abruptly for now, given some time, he could find an opportunity, pick an instrument, and have a sudden “epiphany.”

Then, he would be able to use it as he pleased.

Sound Skills were a type of Martial Arts that Zhao Rui had admired since his previous life.

From the Lion’s Roar in Yitian to the Jade Sea Tide in The Eagle Shooter, from the flute and xiao duet in Immortal Crane Divine Needle to the lethal instrumental combat of the Six-Fingered Zither Demon.

The charm of harming enemies invisibly, the elegant and carefree style of its Melodies, was truly captivating.

Zhao Rui gained a great deal, and Miao Miaomiao’s time was not wasted either.

With Zhao Rui’s guidance, many of the flaws in her Cultivation Technique were corrected. Although it couldn’t yet solve the problem of her uncontrollable Charm Technique, she had already made significant progress.

Perhaps it was because they often spent their nights together discussing Martial Arts, or perhaps it was because she had been lonely for too long.

Miao Miaomiao had actually developed a habit of sticking close to Zhao Rui in her free time.

Sometimes, after class, just as Zhao Rui was about to chat with Qin Rui and the others, Miao Miaomiao would unconsciously drift over.

Zhao Rui didn’t notice anything unusual, but Qin Rui and the others couldn’t stand it. The moment she arrived, they would quickly keep their distance.

This ended up making Zhao Rui just as much of a “loner” as she was.

“You’re making it so I have no friends! Miao Tongxue!”

“But I don’t want to either!”

Miao Miaomiao said, a little hurt.

“From now on, Miao Tongxue, during the day, do not come near me, Okay!”

“Oh!”

Miao Miaomiao responded with an aggrieved “Oh,” her cherry lips lightly closed and her delicate nose wrinkled slightly as she reluctantly moved away.

“How did you manage to tame her?”

After Miao Miaomiao left, even Cao Guannan, who normally had no interest in gossip, couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“What ’tame’? I barely know her! Don’t talk nonsense.”

Zhao Rui said casually.

“Everyone’s spreading rumors that you and Miao Miaomiao are going on dates at night!”

Qin Rui rolled her eyes and shot Zhao Rui an annoyed glare. Clearly, she was very dissatisfied with his dishonesty.

“That’s just gossip!”

Zhao Rui flatly denied it.

Just as he was speaking, a team member suddenly ran over, shouting from a distance, “Zhao Rui, Teacher Wang is looking for you!”

Zhao Rui was taken aback. ’What would Wang Zhanshan want with me?’

’Nothing important has happened recently!’

After a moment’s hesitation, Zhao Rui strode toward the main hall of Mingcan Courtyard.

When he reached the main hall and saw Wang Zhanshan, the teacher frowned and said, “You can resist Miao Miaomiao’s Charm Technique?”

Before Zhao Rui could answer, Wang Zhanshan continued, “Is it because you two are in a relationship?”
