In the evening, in Thousand Snow Palace.
In a quiet and elegant courtyard, Jiang Ningxue was sitting on a stone bench under an ancient pine. She was staring at a teacup in front of her in a daze.
Over the past month, she had been feeling uneasy. All sorts of images had surfaced in her mind.
For some reason, she had repeatedly compared Lu Li and Ji Tianxing in her heart.
Eventually, Lu Li's figure became fainter while Ji Tianxing's figure became clearer.
She held the white jade teacup with both hands and remained silent for a long time. Then, she muttered to herself, "The Son of God, with his strength at the Essence Soul realm, actually repaired the holy cauldron and refined the divine elixir in seven days …
Why didn't I see that he had such talent and potential to create such miracles?
Now, five days have passed and the entire Mount God Sealing is discussing his deeds. Everyone is praising him.
No, I can't be reserved and wait any longer … Five days have passed. He should be done recuperating, right? "
Although Ji Tianxing had become an influential figure in Mount God Sealing, the most dazzling genius, there was still a trace of confidence in him.
However, there was still a trace of confidence in her heart that Ji Tianxing still had a good impression of her.
After all, she was the only woman among the top five geniuses.
She believed that her background, looks, talent, and learning were all worthy of Ji Tianxing.
A moment later, she made up her mind and personally wrote an invitation.
She handed the invitation to a maidservant and got her to deliver it to the East Court of Heaven Saint Palace.
…
When night fell, Ji Tianxing ended his cultivation and walked out of the secret chamber.
After five days of recuperation, his strength had completely recovered.
Furthermore, when he refined the divine elixir, he had absorbed massive amounts of spiritual energy from heaven and earth and benefited immensely.
Now, his strength had improved and he had reached the peak of the fifth level of the Essence Soul realm. He had touched the bottleneck.
As long as he broke through the bottleneck, he would reach the sixth level of the Essence Soul realm.
Just as he walked out of the secret chamber, a golden-armored guard came up to him and bowed respectfully. Then, he handed over an invitation.
"Reporting to Young Master Ji, a maidservant from the Thousand Snow Palace sent you an invitation card just now."
Ji Tianxing reached out to take the pale golden invitation and glanced at the signature on the cover. There was only one word, Jiang.
He immediately understood that Jiang Ningxue had sent someone to deliver the invitation.
"Got it. You may leave."
He waved his hand to dismiss the guards and returned to his bedroom with the invitation.
When he opened the invitation, there were two lines of elegant and beautiful words written on it.
"Young Master Ji, please make your way to the Thousand Snow Palace's side courtyard. Ningxue has something to discuss with Young Master."
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and his lips curled into a playful smile. "She actually took the initiative to invite me to her residence? I'm afraid his motives aren't pure … "
As he spoke, a ball of crimson fire appeared in his palm and burned the invitation to ashes.
He got up and left the room, walking towards the Thousand Snow Palace at a leisurely pace.
The night was dark, the sky was dotted with stars, and the moonlight was like water.
The Thousand Snow Palace was brightly lit. Other than the guards and maids on duty, no one was moving around.
When he entered Jiang Ningxue's side courtyard, there was already a maid waiting at the door, waiting for his arrival.
"Young Master Ji, Young Miss Jiang has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow this servant."
The maid led him through the courtyard and corridors, entering a bedroom in the depths of the courtyard.
When they reached the door, the maid stopped and bowed. "Young Master Ji, Young Miss Jiang is waiting for you inside. Please come in."
Ji Tianxing glanced at the dimly lit bedroom and couldn't help but frown. He thought to himself, "She invited me here in the middle of the night, not in the drawing room, but in the boudoir …"
He acted as if nothing had happened, but in fact, he was vigilant.
After stepping into the bedroom, he looked around but didn't see Jiang Ningxue. He only smelled a faint fragrance that filled the room.
The wide jade bed was covered with a gauze curtain and covered with a light red brocade quilt, but there was no one in sight.
On the round wooden table beside the bed, there were two exquisite white jade bottles, which seemed to contain some kind of elixir.
Ji Tianxing was looking at the two jade bottles when he heard a clear and melodious voice.
"Young Master Ji, after you finished refining the elixir that day, Ningxue saw that you didn't look well and that you had used up a lot of your magic power.
The two bottles of elixir on the table are tribulation grade elixirs that Ningxue specially prepared for you. They can help you recover your magic power and nourish your soul. Please accept them. "
Ji Tianxing raised his eyebrows and looked to the left side of the bedroom.
He saw a white jade screen on the left side of the wall, engraved with patterns of flowers and bamboos.
Jiang Ningxue's voice came from behind the screen.
Ji Tianxing knew that the screen must be connected to a side room, which was usually a secret room.
Thus, he strode over.
"I'm flattered that Young Miss Jiang is so concerned about me.
However, I've already recovered after five days of rest. You should keep these two bottles of elixir for yourself. "
As he spoke, he walked around the screen and was about to enter the 'secret room'.
But when he saw the scene in front of him, his body stiffened and he stopped in his tracks.
There was indeed a side room behind the screen, but it wasn't a secret room for cultivation. Instead, it was a hot spring pool.
The three-meter square pool was filled with Earth Spirit Spring Water, and steam was rising from it.
Pink and red petals floated on the surface of the water, emitting a seductive fragrance.
Jiang Ningxue was sitting in the hot spring pool, bathing elegantly.
She raised her flawless arm and stirred up the warm spring water, pouring it onto her tender shoulder.
Although she was sitting in the pool, her body was obscured by the steam, faintly discernible.
But Ji Tianxing could still see clearly that she was only wearing a thin, transparent robe, which was already soaked by the water.
The infinitely beautiful scenery rippled gently under the water, making one unable to look away and only want to see what was going on.
Her beautiful cheeks were flushed, and her wet hair was draped over her shoulders. Her watery eyes contained a seductive charm.
"Young Master Ji, I've been worried about you for many days. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I shamelessly invited you to meet me.
You actually refused my kind intentions. Aren't you afraid that I'll be sad? "
She bit her lips and looked at Ji Tianxing, her voice filled with grievance. Her pitiful appearance made it hard for one to refuse.
Ji Tianxing frowned slightly and turned his back to her. He said calmly, "Young Miss Jiang, as the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without any effort. How can I accept your gift?
Moreover, Heaven Saint Palace has an endless supply of cultivation resources. I can't use them all, so why should I let you spend money? "
Seeing his back to her, a trace of disappointment flashed through Jiang Ningxue's eyes. She thought to herself, I've already put down my face and invited him here, but he doesn't appreciate it.
Seeing me bathe, he's not tempted at all. Am I so unbearable that I'm not attractive to him at all?
Impossible! There's no man in this world who isn't lustful. It's just that some are more obvious, while others hide deeper!
