Chapter 622: Chapter 310 The Dao Heart Really Collapsed_2

"Sinking?"

Dugu Luoxue let out a sigh, waving her hand as she exited the Daoist School.

...

Inside the cave dwelling.

The woman opened her eyes.

Jiang Shouzhong was sitting cross-legged in front of the stone wall, eyes closed, sensing the essence of his fist technique.

Dugu Luoxue stood up, yet her beautiful brows slightly furrowed.

She clearly felt a heat rising beneath her skirt...

The woman stood frozen in place.

What is this...

She had thought that only the Daoist School had been tainted, but now even her own body...

Dugu Luoxue’s face flushed, her clear apricot eyes full of panic and helplessness, and from the bottom of her heart, fear overflowed.

At this moment, she felt herself like a small boat adrift in terrifying waves.

It felt like an invisible hand was about to drag her down into the abyss of the sea.

Had she actually developed feelings?

How ridiculous, how ironic this scene was.

Not to mention the ascetic path she was so passionate about, even her unique physique shouldn’t be easily stirred by desire... but now, she was just like any ordinary woman.

This left the female master feeling a helpless shame.

It was as if countless mocking eyes were staring at her, laughing at her.

"I can’t possibly have feelings... It’s impossible..."

Dugu Luoxue trembled, a heavy chill invading her soul, so oppressing that she almost suffocated.

Asceticism!

Asceticism!

In the end, everything was a joke!

The woman’s face was pale, her mouth quivering, an uncontrollable retch of blood rose to her throat... She suddenly opened her mouth, and a mouthful of fresh blood bloomed like a red plum on the ground.

The regurgitation of congested blood from her heart brought her some calmness.

Dugu Luoxue formed a Dharma Seal with her hands and pressed it against her abdomen, forcibly dispelling the remaining trace of heat.

Once her body completely settled, the woman recovered her usual indifferent demeanor.

She glanced at Jiang Shouzhong and walked out of the cave dwelling.

Outside the cave, everyone was still waiting for Jiang Shouzhong to finish his closed-door training.

Seeing Dugu Luoxue emerge alone, they couldn’t help but be surprised. The Great Elder asked in doubt, "Master Dugu, Jiang Mo hasn’t had any accidents, has he?"

Dugu Luoxue shook her graceful head and turned to Yan Xishi, asking softly, "Ms Yan, could you prepare a room for me and heat some water?"

Her body felt sticky; she needed to clean herself.

Yan Xishi initially wanted to say no, but eventually, she called over a sect serving girl, instructed her with a few words, and then let her lead Dugu Luoxue to reside in the back courtyard.

As she watched the woman’s elegant figure disappear into the distance, Yan Xishi muttered:

"A man and a woman alone together for so long, aren’t they afraid of becoming the subject of gossip?"

Li Nanshuang rolled her eyes dramatically: "I only see someone stirring up gossip here. They are followers of the ascetic path, and she is a female master of Confucian learning and morality; only a person with a bad heart would have such dirty thoughts."

"You impudent girl, how dare you lecture your master. Are you asking for a beating?"

Yan Xishi, unable to swallow her pride, scolded with hands on her hips, puffing in anger.

But the disciple was right in the end.

If there were truly any woman as pure as the driven snow in this world, it had to be this Master Dugu.

...

Guided by the serving girl, Dugu Luoxue came to a simple and elegant room.

After the hot water was ready, Dugu Luoxue politely declined the service of the serving girls who wished to attend to her up close.

She closed the door, loosened her waistband, and one by one removed her layers of clothing until her bare skin was exposed.

Her skin was creamy and flawlessly fair.

Dugu Luoxue did not hurry to enter the water, but rather stood in front of the bronze mirror.

Gazing at the mirror reflecting a well-proportioned, perfect body, her expression became somewhat dazed, especially upon seeing the "evidence" of being moved below her abdomen, her eyes drifting towards obscurity.

For some reason, she was reminded of Zuo Su.

Recalling how she would admire herself in the mirror and then lie on the cold floor, using a wooden fish to represent another self.

However, Dugu Luoxue did not follow suit by lying on the floor.

She collected her spirit, set aside the distracting thoughts from her mind, stepped into the bath, and slowly submerged in the water, trying to wash away what she deemed filth.

Of course, bodily cleanliness could never address the root issue.

At this moment, Dugu Luoxue began to seriously consider how to drive away the Heart Demon and repair the Daoist School.

Either to completely sink and lay it all to rest, or to hold on to her true self and repair little by little.

Both paths were difficult.

The woman pondered for a long time, but she couldn’t come up with any clues.

She rested her temples against the edge of the bath tub, gazing up at the ceiling as droplets of water trailed slowly down her exquisite profile, like silent tears.

And her hands, unconsciously scrubbing her body.

She reminisced about her memories of sitting in front of the Buddha hall as a child, listening attentively in class as a young girl, and sewing clothes under a lamp as an adult...

She hadn’t been ignorant of those erotic paintings and novels.

She hadn’t been deaf to the vulgar and obscene language.

She hadn’t been oblivious to wondering what her wedding night would be like if she ever got married.

But none of these had been able to stir the desires deep within her.

Until later, when she increasingly realized that these desires were far away from her, like dandelion fluff that vanished into nothingness after being burnt.

Yet, why did she now feel desire?

Dugu Luoxue couldn’t understand it.

She took a deep breath, slowly sitting up.

But then she was shocked to discover that her hand had unwittingly moved below her abdomen...

Crash!

The woman abruptly stood up from the bath tub.

She numbly lifted her jade hand, holding it before her eyes, then gently spread her fingers apart.

Threads of watery shimmer lingered, like broken lotus roots regrowing their fibers.

Dugu Luoxue, as if sensing something, violently turned her head to look at the copper mirror.

In the mirror, another self was smiling seductively, as if she was a courtesan reveling in a brothel.

"Heart Demon... Heart Demon..."

Dugu Luoxue’s expression turned to one of terror, her breathing becoming heavy, her hands continuously forming abstinence Dharma Seals.

After a while, the seductive woman in the mirror gradually disappeared.

Dugu Luoxue collapsed back into the bath tub, watching the silk-like threads floating on the water, pulling at her lips before slapping the water fiercely.

The water splashed, as if to shatter all that filth and impurity.

"I don’t believe it!"

"If the heavens want me to fall, I simply refuse to fall!"

—

The carriage slowly traveled along the rugged mountain road.

This was within the territory of Gunzhou, which normally harbored bandits and outlaws, yet when they saw the words "Silver Moon" on the carriage, the courage of those robbers instantly extinguished.

And miles away was the territory of the Myriad Phenomena God Sect.

Jiang Yi leaned back on the luxurious cushions, reading the intelligence note just delivered by a falcon.

"Qingchen really intends to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains,"

As Jiang Yi tore the note into shreds and threw it out the window, she sighed and said, "Yan Changqing already told Jiang Mo to go to Zhenxuan Mountain, why would you run off to the Ten Thousand Mountains, you foolish girl, really foolish."

"Has the young miss already reached the Ten Thousand Mountains?"

Jinxiu looked worried.

With Ran Qingchen’s Sword Control flying capabilities, going to the Ten Thousand Mountains would take only two to three days.

Jiang Yi casually picked a grape from the silver plate, popped it into her mouth, and shook her head with a smile, "Not yet, I thought this girl would fly there with Sword Control, but she decided to walk."

"Walk?"

Jinxiu’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Jiang Yi lifted the curtain and looked out at the dark mountains, stating, "The thoughts of a young woman are hard to fathom; maybe she is waiting, maybe she is afraid, so she wants to go slower."

Jinxiu didn’t understand and silently prayed they would find the young miss soon.

Beside her, Leng Jing was cuddling a cactus, leaning in a corner of the carriage, dozing off.

As for the sisters of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, they naturally acted as guards outside the carriage.

Jiang Yi’s gaze brushed over Xia He and Qiuye, dropped the curtain, and, imitating Leng Jing, leaned back against the carriage wall to ponder.

For some reason, she thought of Dugu Luoxue from that day.

The condition of the other seemed odd.

"This female master wouldn’t really choose to embrace her Dao Heart to sink into debauchery, would she?" Jiang Yi thought to herself.

But then she laughed at the absurdity of the thought.

That was a female master.

That was the epitome of abstinence.

How could she possibly fall?

Remembering her own periodically lascivious behavior in contrast to the other’s lack of desire and cool demeanor, Jiang Yi slowly clenched her fist, cursing under her breath,

"I really want to see you, Dugu Luoxue, serving a man. If you ever do, I, Jiang Yi, would even join you, just to see who’s more wanton!"

As she was speaking, Leng Jing, who had been snoozing in the corner, suddenly sat up straight.

She looked down at the cactus glowing green and said, "There seems to be demonic energy!"
