Chapter 207: Chapter 114: Unblocking the Azure Dragon Horn Meridian

Xu Qing met the servant-girl of the Zhou residence in the guest house, and learned that Feng Wu wanted him to write a poem.

Not even married yet, and being told to write just like that.

Since she requested it, it wouldn’t be nice to refuse.

Xu Qing pondered for a moment and decided to start copying.

He took out the Four Treasures of the Study, brandished his brush, and seven characters appeared on the letter paper.

The characters were written in the emotionless, bureaucratic script.

Practicing bureaucratic script is a part of the Imperial Examination, and as a professional contestant, Xu Qing had a cultivated demeanor and didn’t want to miss any opportunity to practice.

Kung Fu is... oh no, that’s not right, Kung Fu is in the everyday details.

The servant-girls of the Zhou family were all specially trained; although they didn’t have a Scholar’s knowledge, they still had some literary accomplishments. They were enchanted by the seven characters on the paper.

Xu Qing coughed, "Take it back to your Miss."

The little servant-girl was surprised: "That’s it, no more?"

Xu Qing: "Time is short, just this one line."

The little servant-girl cautiously said: "Miss didn’t say when she needed it, why doesn’t... Xu Sanyuan ponder over it some more?"

Xu Qing: "Are you telling me how to do my job?"

The servant-girl was an honest and upright young lady, seeing her prospective brother-in-law get angry, she could only leave in grievance.

...

...

"What about the rest?" Feng Wu looked at the little servant-girl skeptically.

"Prospective brother-in-law said ’Time is short, just this one line’." The little servant-girl, shivering with fright, relayed Xu Qing’s words back to her Miss exactly.

Feng Wu’s pretty face blushed slightly, spitting in contempt, "Pah, what prospective brother-in-law."

She didn’t blame the little servant-girl; instead, she asked her to leave. The servant-girl, feeling absolved, hurried away.

Feng Wu picked up the letter, looked at the seven emotionless bureaucratic characters, and murmured softly:

"Life is but a first encounter."

If Xu Qing had no feelings for her, how could he come up with such a wonderful line, yet if he had feelings for her, why was there no continuation?

Feng Wu fretted over this matter, only nibbling over her dinner. At night, she kept pondering,

"No, I have to ask him what the rest of the poem is."

She simply released her Divine Soul and floated over to Xu Qing’s guest house.

"Ah!"

A scorchingly hot breath enveloped her soul, startling Feng Wu’s whimper.

...

...

Xu Qing’s Divine Soul was also out of his body, looking irritably towards Feng Wu’s Divine Soul.

Fortunately, he realized it quickly and stopped in time. Otherwise, if he had shattered his female master’s Divine Soul, wouldn’t that be considered disloyal and unfilial!

"Your Martial Arts, how did you practice it to this level." Feng Wu was still shaken; she had nearly been scattered by her fiancé. If such a thing had happened, she wouldn’t know if the ancestors of the Annihilation Dao would be angered back to life.

The most ruthless ancestor in the Annihilation Dao hadn’t even killed a lover.

If she were to be killed by her lover, what would that be?

Reverse practicing the Annihilation Scripture?

Alright, the most ruthless ancestor turned the lover into a slave of love; alive, they shared the same quilt, and in death, the same grave. That’s pretty twisted.

"My Divine Soul is stronger than yours."

"You... good disciple, are you trying to betray your master and your heritage?"

Xu Qing muttered to himself: "Riding is more like it."

Poor Xu Gongming, in this life, he is still a virgin. Fortunately, with the Old Wutong Tree’s help, he could achieve Yin Yang Coordination. Otherwise, Xu Qing’s robust Yang energy without an outlet would definitely cause problems.

Because in the state of Divine Soul, emotions are hard to hide.

Feng Wu felt the subtle change in Xu Qing’s emotions and spat: "What are you thinking about."

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Xu Qing quickly changed the topic.

Having not seen each other for a while, the master-disciple pair were somewhat estranged.

This odd mix-up dissipated the awkwardness between them.

Unspoken, Feng Wu quite enjoyed the state of being with Xu Qing. Fundamentally speaking, Xu Qing and Feng Xifeng were both people who didn’t stick to conventions, so when Feng Wu met Xu Qing, there was no unnatural feeling.

Those who cultivate the Annihilation Scripture, before the final cut of the Wisdom Sword through the Emotion Silk, actually have richer and more nuanced emotions than ordinary people.

If from the beginning she had focused on the Taoist’s "Twelve Minor," purifying the heart and desiring less, pure as an ice and snow fairy, she would not have achieved success in the Annihilation Scripture.

"Life is but a first encounter, what about the rest?" Feng Wu remembered her purpose and directly asked.

"That’s a line I extracted from ancient texts; only this line is suitable."

"Which ancient text? How come I’ve never read it?" Feng Wu felt a bit uncomfortable. She wasn’t studying for the Imperial Examination, and she also has a photographic memory, having glanced through miscellaneous books. Such a wonderful line, if she had seen or heard it, she would definitely remember it.

"There are countless texts in the world, it’s not a few that you haven’t read. Let me test you, ’the flowing waves send the moon away,’ what’s the next line?"

"That’s a poem by Emperor Yang of Sui, ’the tide brings the stars along.’ This foolish emperor had some literary talent, and this poem is not obscure." Feng Wu talked at length, then suddenly thought of something, and scolded: "You’re seeking the blessings of several others, aren’t you?"

The poem’s last line is "At Xiang River, one meets two consorts," referring to the story of the daughters of Emperor Yao.

Xu Qing cried innocence; he truly hadn’t thought that way. However, with the destiny of the Ziwei Star, not emulating the Yellow Emperor with his three thousand concubines was already very restrained.

Feng Wu thought of her own cultivation of the Annihilation Scripture, bound to eventually leave secular attachments behind, and her thoughts shifted, "My uncle’s cousin is a ravishing beauty, if you tell me the next line to ’Life is but a first encounter,’ and you become the top scorer in the Imperial Examination, marrying her as a legal wife is not impossible."

According to the laws of Great Yu, a legal wife is not really recognized; in the law, commoner’s legal wives are still concubines. Of course, there’s the practice of having a wife in each branch, which despite the law, is basically considered equal.

For those in power, though, these customs are trivial, and historically there have been cases of having five Empresses concurrently.

"Forget all this nonsense. Since we both cultivate the Divine Soul, why not exchange some knowledge?" Xu Qing thought, since she’s already here, it wouldn’t be a waste not to learn something.
