In these few days, Shiguan stayed in her room moping. Even though the chance to practice in the Linglong Sect was precious, her heart was not on practicing. She kept strolling to Zhixuanâs room and raised her hand to knock but put it down at the last moment when she heard Xuanyuan and Zhixuan laughters.
Xuanyuanâs voice rang outside of her room, calling her. She rushed up and opened the door, âAre you looking for me, Shiguan?â
She suddenly remembered the laughters Xuanyuan and Zhixuan shared and turned around and sat on her bed. She glared at him with complicated feelings, leaving Xuanyuan dumbfounded. âWhat happened? Who made you angry?â
Xuanyuan stood there for a while but he couldnât get an answer. In the end, he said sadly, âAlright, if youâre not in a good mood, Iâll go back and let you rest.â
âWhat happened?â Xuanyuan was still confused, but he smiled, âTell me what happened.â
âGive me your hand.â Shiguan ordered. She grabbed his hand and bit his arm.
Xuanyuan screamed. What did he do? Then he suddenly remembered his five masters teasing her about their relationship and Mochou insisted that she liked him the other day. Xuanyuan finally realized what happened.
Shiguan didnât let go for a while, then she said, âYour skinâs so thick.â
âAre you a little puppy? Keep biting people.â Xuanyuan said accusingly.
âYou are a puppy.â Shiguan rolled her eyes.
âAlright, alright. Itâs my fault. My masters were out of line and so was Mochou. They shouldnât speculate our relationship. Please donât be angry. Iâll clarify it to everyone when I get a chance.â He knew how important reputation is for young women so he apologized profusely.
âI donât care if they misunderstood.â Shiguan mumbled. She stood up and looked Xuanyuan in the eyes. His heart pounded as she gazed.
âWhat is it?â
âNothing. I want to bite you.â Shiguan said. Looking at Xuanyuanâs face, she continued, âYou donât like it? Then follow me to the Land of Mo. I keep many plants. Help me nurture them with your Water of Heaven.â
Xuanyuan sighed. âOf course. Itâs my honour to help you.â
Shiguan snorted, âLooks like you say that to every woman. I donât want you to do that anymore so just go.â
Xuanyuan left sheepishly. He was very confused with the conversation. Greed suddenly chimed in.
âWhat can I say?â Greed said, âCanât you see that Shiguanâs jealous of the Lady Saint?â
âWhatâŠ?â Xuanyuan couldnât turn his head around.
âHow stupid are you? You and Zhixuan stayed in one room alone, talking and laughing for a few days. Shiguan was looking for you for a few times and heard that. Of course sheâs angry.â
Xuanyuan was dumbstruck. Then he rushed into Shiguanâs room.
âIf youâre not happy then just bite me. Youâre the only person who can do that. When we have time, Iâll go to the Land of Mo to help you nurture your plants.â
Shiguanâs heart fluttered. âPromise?â
âPromise!â Xuanyuan nodded. Shiguan embraced him and aimed at his neck and bit, leaving a teeth mark. Xuanyuan froze and hugged her back.
In the end, they hugged for a brief while. Shiguan released first and said, âGo back and prepare for the trip to the mountain. Iâll also practice. Iâll help you.â
âI will.â Xuanyuan nodded. He felt slightly empty after the hug. But he obliged. When he returned to his room, Greed laughed loudly in his mind.
âThis is the first time Iâve ever heard anyone say, âBite meâ to a girl! HahahaâŠ..â
âNext time I should seal you so you canât see anything.â Xuanyuan rolled his eyes. âI should start carving the disposition. Which one should I carve? It should at least be a Xian class disposition. Letâs take a look at the Book of Acquisition.â
He reviewed the content of the Book in his mind and three days went by. He was amazed by the immense knowledge hidden in the Book. It gave him many inspirations. After three days, he had decided which disposition to create â The Disposition of Six Red Lotus. It was the disposition that the Emperor of Red Lotus encountered when he conquered the Fire. Itâd be easier and much more powerful since he controlled the Fire of Red Lotus.
âThe Book of Acquisition contains all kinds of knowledge. You should study it often. Itâll help with your practice.â Greed reminded him.
âI will.â Xuanyuan answered. He took out a block of Source Energy of Red Lotus. Its power echoed with the Fire inside him. The Emperor of Fire Dragon was summoned with many red lotuses surrounding him. Xuanyuan used the fighting Qi produced by the Fire of Red Lotus to carve on the source energy block.
The bed he sat on condensed the Universe Qi around him so he was able to absorb Qi naturally without the help of crystals.
