Chapter 19: The Heavenly Book Returns

  The night was as black as ink, and it was quiet and soundless, but inside the Golden Jade Hall, there were people who could not sleep peacefully.

  "Whoa——" A bucket of icy water poured from head to toe, Wen Renyao took a cold breath, opened his narrow eyes, and his gaze was gloomy.

  No way, didn't expect it still wouldn't work, does he look like he's possessed or something?

  But all he wore was a white outer garment, which faintly revealed his sturdy build, and his jade-like face had a subtle flush.

  A woman? It was actually a woman like her who could make him lose control of his emotions!

  Although he was not close to women, he also had no willpower. During his training in Kunlun Mountains, such strange things had never happened before.

  But then, a young noble in a deep blue luxurious long robe fluttered over, looking at the icy man in front of him, and a charming smile appeared on his lips. "So late, not resting, what are you doing?"

  "Taking a shower." Wen Renyi's body was dripping wet, his clothes clinging to him and outlining his perfect physique, exuding an otherworldly aura.

  "I didn't expect you to not go there where the soft jade is warm and fragrant, but instead come here to put out the fire with icy cold water. You really have a good disposition and physique." A hint of a smile slowly flowed across Gongzi's eyebrows and eyes.

  He shot him a cold glance, immediately putting on an outer shirt. After all, his disheveled appearance had been completely exposed to this man's eyes. Although they were friends, not everything was open and aboveboard between them, and this was indeed a bit too embarrassing. Dye Gongzi winked at him, the wink seeming like a udumbara flower blooming in full splendor on a deep night, and laughed: "What kind of extraordinary beauty could it be that would make you so flustered?" He took a glance at his opponent's covering-up appearance, with an implied meaning.

  "There's no woman, just a fever." The man gave him a cold glance, his voice colder than the snow on Tianyun Mountain.

  "I've prepared a cooling tea that's good for clearing heat and detoxifying fire. It's just what you need to dispel your fiery energy." Yan Gongzi smiled lightly, raising an eyebrow slightly.

  "Oh?" Wen Renyi said slowly, "But I remember you often like to taste fine wine, why did you prepare medicinal tea this time?"

  "Cough, cough." At this time, the man in gray had already walked in with a cup of tea, "Because Dye Young Master is like Wen Ren Young Master, today needs to dispel fire."

  "Mr. Zhou, don't you think that you... should not speak out of turn." Yu Ran gave him a slanted glance.

  "I'm just telling the truth! Who made you both so angry?" Mr. Zhou looked at the two men in front of him, both of whom were exceptional individuals - Cai Gongzi was like a gentle and elegant stream, while Wen Renyi was like cold ice. These two men, who were normally calm and collected, had somehow both "lost their tempers" on the same day, which was quite unusual for such good friends, yet also somewhat suspicious.

  "Could it be that Yu Ran already has a woman he likes? And is seeking but unable to obtain?" Wen Ren Yi turned around and took a glance at Dye Gongzi.

  "He doesn't have a woman he likes, just a seductive demon that has appeared." Mr. Zhou sighed intentionally.

  He cast a sidelong glance at him, and the young master slanted his eyes, his lips seeming to smile yet not quite smiling.

  Wen Renyi also had no expression on his face, his eyes gazing vaguely into the distance.

  For the first time, both of them remained silent.

  After a while, Ran Gongzi asked: "By the way, did that woman take away the Heavenly Book?"

  "Not bad, but the heavenly book is gone again..."

  "This matter is indeed somewhat suspicious." Yan Gongzi's mouth corners slowly rose, hooking out a perfect arc.

  "If I'm right, the Tian Shu has already acknowledged its master. That woman probably intentionally let me take it away, so that I would give up."

  "Oh? That woman does have some tricks up her sleeve."

  "Hmm, so tomorrow... I'll go see that woman."

  "That sounds interesting, I'd like to go see it too."

  ……

  That night, two proud female guards brought Su Mo to a guest room and prepared a change of clothes for her.

  Then, the two women gazed at her with scrutinizing eyes, standing motionless on either side of her, as if watching her.

  These two are both imperial clansmen arranged to monitor Wen Renyi, all of whom are exceptionally beautiful and have outstanding abilities, with official titles and ranks on their bodies, and their identities and status surpass those of many noble ladies.

  The two of them were originally supposed to be arranged as personal maids by Wen Renyi's side, and later they could have gotten close to him and even obtained a not-bad concubine status. However, they had never expected that Wen Renyi would never need their service. Now, they were arranged here to take care of a mysterious and seductive woman with an unknown background, and they were naturally extremely displeased in their hearts.

  Since they themselves were not happy, they naturally didn't want the woman in front of them to be happy either.

  How did Su Mo quietly sit there, her eyes gleaming with a hint of seduction as she began to undress, saying softly: "You two, I'm tired and ready for bed. If you like watching me here, then go ahead and watch. With your attentive care, I'll naturally sleep more soundly."

  One of the female guards immediately turned around with disdain and said in a low voice: "Who is taking care of her, this woman really thinks she's something."

  "Who likes looking at someone who looks so eerie and strange?"

  "If it weren't for His Majesty's words about paying attention to the movements of the Heir, I wouldn't have bothered with such a lowly woman!"

  So the two women stood outside that night, talking loudly and occasionally bursting into laughter, completely disregarding whether the woman inside was resting or not. Su Mo guessed that they took her for a lowly self-recommended concubine and could only force a faint smile on her lips.

  At night, Su Mo was sleeping on the soft couch when he suddenly felt a chill. He opened his eyes to find a pair of beautiful eyes staring at him.

  But she saw the young man's forehead lightly leaning on her shoulder, and his warm breath gently sprayed on her cheek.

  That young man looked like he had a healthier complexion than when I saw him last night.

  The young man's lips were very close to hers, as if he could touch her face with just a little more movement.

  However, when he saw Su Mo open his eyes, he immediately became arrogant and sat up straight, turning his head to the side with a proud and spoiled expression.

  "Are you willing to come over?" Su Mo smiled slightly.

  "How did you know I'd come?" He hummed softly.

  "Some things are still worth taking a gamble on, after all, we have a contract between us, you can't leave me, what if something unexpected happens to me, wouldn't that be unlucky for you?" She stood up and sat down without startling the female guard outside, slowly winking at the young man, "Because when I first saw you, it was when you were at your weakest. These days, you've been resting and recovering some of your strength. If I'm not mistaken, you sneak out at night to absorb the yin energy from my body, and only then do I feel unwell, right? So now you have enough strength to bring the Heavenly Book to find me."

  He didn't expect her to be taking a gamble, nor did he expect her to know the method of absorbing yin energy. The young man couldn't help but pause for a moment.

  He curled his lips and this woman was very bold, fortunately she wasn't stupid either.

  But he saw that the young man's narrow and beautiful eyes were staring at Su Mo, "You do know the details clearly. I didn't think that this woman's pure yin body was indeed a great tonic. This young master only needs to absorb a little bit to recover some of his strength."

  Su Mo smiled slightly, "You weren't supposed to meet me in the first place, but you also got some benefits from me, didn't you?"

  "It's still far from enough, you must enhance your pure yin energy, only then will the effect be better and I can absorb more."

  "Alright, I can provide for you, as long as you don't make me your furnace, teach me the method to improve."

  The young man's face turned slightly red, and he suddenly let out a cold snort, "Who wants you to be the furnace tripod?"

  He straightened up, his expression displeased: "The method I've already written down, it's just that you're being held captive now, woman. Your situation seems quite unfavorable!" The young man's voice carried a hint of disdain and mockery, this languid tone revealing an elegant nobility.

  Su Mo pressed his lips together and said slowly: "It doesn't matter, I just plan before acting!"

  After plotting, then act? Upon hearing this, the young man raised an eyebrow.
