Chapter 652: Chapter 324: Please Be Sure to Protect Her Closely

Dugu Luoxue steadied her mind, washed up, and quickly left the room. To be precise, she fled the room to avoid letting the Heart Demon grow due to the sound of dirt.

She went downstairs to the hall, asked the innkeeper for a jug of wine, and then chose a table in the corner to sit by herself.

She usually didn’t like drinking wine.

In her view, wine and desire were things that easily led people to downfall. Greed for wine, wealth, and superficiality would cause harm, so only caution and restraint could cultivate oneself, establish oneself, and pursue the great path.

The Enlightened understand, while those who drift with the tide are lost...

Yet at this moment, she really wanted to drink wine, to drift with the tide.

The inn hall was silent.

Originally, it had been a scene bustling with people and noise.

But after the woman appeared, the entire space seemed to have the mute button pressed, falling into an unusual tranquility.

Especially since at this moment, Dugu Luoxue wasn’t wearing a veil.

With a natural, unadorned elegance, free of powder, jewel-less and unadorned, dressed simply with a thorny hairpin and cloth skirt... she seemed like ethereal snow descending upon the world, self-contained, deterring disrespect.

Dugu Luoxue’s expression was calm, disregarding the peering eyes around her, she picked up the jug and took a swig.

The soothing wine melted into a spicy flavor upon entry, shooting straight down her throat.

"Cough..."

Before she could swallow, the woman choked.

Dugu Luoxue used her jade hand to gently cover her sandalwood mouth, frowning tightly. After all, it was her first time drinking, and she wasn’t quite accustomed.

Dugu Luoxue casually wiped her chin with her sleeve, a drop of wine silently slid down her flawless jade-white slender swan neck, quietly slipping into her collar...

The diners around who were watching this scene all swallowed involuntarily, their throats moving.

This was the true realization of "beauty that could satisfy hunger" for these people accustomed to the ordinary world.

Dugu Luoxue slowed her pace, sipping gently.

The spicy wine slithered past the root of her tongue like a line of fire, down her throat, sending a hot stream that penetrated her heart and mind, causing her elegant brows to knit slightly, as her exquisite jade face was immediately tinged with a blush.

Once the discomfort faded and savoring it deeply, she suddenly found the wine quite interesting.

Unknowingly, the jug of wine had reached its bottom.

Dugu Luoxue simply ordered another pot of wine and a bowl.

At this moment, the woman was like being out of this world, intertwined only with the contents of the cup and the matters in her heart.

Bowl after bowl.

The patrons in the hall all saw the woman in a poor mood, drowning her sorrows in drink. They also saw it was her first time drinking.

But no one stopped her.

Perhaps they were anticipating something, wanting to see what this woman as pure as a fairy would do after getting drunk.

Some bold individuals were already rubbing their hands, waiting for the opportunity.

Once the woman was drunk, they would step forward to show concern. Even if it’s just to support her and sneak a touch of her small hand, it would be a moment worth reminiscing in this lifetime.

People always love to protect beautiful artworks but also crave to shatter that beauty.

However, what shocked everyone was that despite it being her first time drinking, after ingesting so much wine, the woman showed no signs of inebriation, only a faint blush on her cheeks.

Was this woman born with a high tolerance?

Dugu Luoxue stared blankly at the swaying wine in her bowl, as if, in a trance, seeing another version of herself reflected in the bowl, with a face like a blossoming peach, eyes alluring.

For a moment, all sorts of feelings surged within the woman’s heart.

"Wine... desire... lust... greed..."

With her head slightly lowered, Dugu Luoxue’s eyes flickered, carrying an air of delicate charm, whispered despondently, "Luoxue, Luoxue, could it be you are fixated on the word ’fall’?"

The woman suddenly felt a little disheartened.

She gently wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth, stood up, and walked out of the inn.

The people in the hall sighed in disappointment.

But the next moment, their gaze glued to the place where the woman had been sitting, especially staring at the wine bowl she left behind.

Scrape—

Someone’s table or chair made a sound, and almost everyone around went mad, pouncing like hungry wolves for the goddess’s wine bowl.

In the process, some even started fighting.

The hall became instantly chaotic.

However, before those who reached the front could touch the bowl, the bowl and wine pot on the table suddenly turned to dust, the wine itself dissipated into a mist, disappearing.

The crowd looked puzzled.

As if everything was an illusion.

Suddenly, snowflakes fell onto people’s foreheads, the coolness washing away their inner desires.

"All forms are illusions..."

They vaguely heard a woman’s sigh in their ears, "Appearance is not real, the heart is the root, you all became attached to appearances."

This voice carried an element of the Taoist School’s calming, abstinent power.

The crowd felt suddenly enlightened, their eyes becoming clear.

People who came to their senses felt deeply ashamed, some started to reflect, some bowed to apologize, and even some entertained the thought of becoming monks, while extreme individuals considered drastic measures...

No martial artist dared to underestimate Dugu Luoxue’s path of Abstinence.

It’s like a thought planted deep within people’s hearts, difficult to eradicate.

Even a great master like Li Guanshi, sometimes did not dare to listen to her discuss the Tao, fearing it would disturb his path of Cultivation, often keeping his distance.

Although at this moment, Dugu Luoxue’s Taoist School was heavily polluted, and the Heart Demon was growing, dealing with ordinary people or general Cultivators was more than sufficient.

Zhuge Xuanji once said, once Dugu Luoxue’s path of Abstinence reached perfection, it would be a disaster for the entire cultivation world because she only needed to look at you, and you’d never have lustful thoughts for the rest of your life.
