Chapter 385: Tempering the Heart in the World of Mortals
Emperor Shitian took a deep breath and set foot on the path leading to Bai Suzhen's residence. The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, pulling him back from his thoughts.
Bai Suzhen's residence is located in a peach forest. The peach blossoms are in full bloom and the petals fall like rain, looking particularly dreamy under the moonlight.
Bai Suzhen seemed to have sensed his arrival and stood in the courtyard, waiting quietly.
She was wearing a plain white dress, with her long hair draped over her shoulders like a waterfall. Her brows revealed a sense of coldness that was untainted by the world, yet contained endless tenderness.
"Master..." Bai Suzhen bowed slightly, her gentle voice was like the hum of a nightingale, with a barely perceptible tremor.
"Suzhen, there's no need to be so polite." Emperor Shitian said gently, looking at her tenderly.
Bai Suzhen raised her head and met his gaze, her bright eyes containing a hint of joy and an affection that was hard to conceal.
She whispered, "Master, you rarely come to see me at this time. Is there something important?"
Emperor Shitian was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Suzhen, I want to talk to you."
Bai Suzhen's heart was shocked. She had never seen such a gentle Emperor Shitian. Usually he was always calm and composed, as if nothing could shake his mind.
But at this moment, his eyes, as deep as an ancient well, revealed a hint of complex emotions.
"Okay, master, please follow me." Bai Suzhen responded softly, turned around and led him into the courtyard.
The two of them sat side by side at the stone table in the courtyard, the moonlight shining on them, and the surroundings were silent and quiet, as if they were the only two people left in the whole world.
"Suzhen..." Emperor Shitian spoke in a low voice, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his tone, "I have been too focused on cultivation and neglected many things."
Bai Suzhen shook her head gently: "Master has shouldered too many burdens for Tianmen and the people of the world. Suzhen has always understood this."
Emperor Shitian's heart was moved slightly, and he sighed softly: "Yes, everyone has his own responsibilities. As the master of the human world, how can I watch the demons wreak havoc in the human world?"
"Over the years, I have been busy practicing and developing my power...but I have neglected your feelings...you have suffered so much..."
Bai Suzhen looked up at him, as if waiting for him to say more.
However, Indra's words became unclear at this moment, and he didn't know how to express his feelings.
When Xiao Qi saw this situation, he couldn't help but frown.
The master is such a straight man!
He doesn't know how to fall in love at all. How about helping him and giving him a push?
Thinking of this, Xiao Qi took action immediately.
Invisible magical fluctuations instantly filled the entire room, filling the entire room with the color of desire.
Creating illusions is one of the most core functions of the Tongtian Divine Mirror.
With Xiao Qi's current level, he can create illusions silently, which is enough to affect the Immortal King.
The two people in the room were affected unconsciously.
However, Indra had an extraordinary state of mind and a strong will, so he was less affected and still retained a trace of rationality.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi immediately increased his strength.
"Master, Miss Bai has always been by your side, serving you and has deep feelings for you. You must not treat her badly. Go and comfort her!"
Xiao Qi whispered inducement while creating a romantic and warm atmosphere. The room was filled with the fragrance of cosmetics, which made people imagine a lot.
"Master..." Influenced by this, Bai Suzhen began to sink into fantasy, and unknowingly approached Emperor Shitian, her eyes as charming as silk and her red lips as fiery as fire.
In fact, she had long been in love with Indra and admired him so much that she wished she could give herself to him.
However, she was also a rare and extraordinary woman in the world. She had her own pride and reserve, and would not do anything to offer herself to a man.
She has waited too long for this day. Now that her master is interested, she naturally has to seize the opportunity and take the initiative.
Because she understood that given her master's character, if she missed today, she might never have such an opportunity again.
"Xiao Qi, what are you doing?"
At this moment, Indra suddenly became alert, frowned, and spiritual energy surged around his body, as if to dispel this frivolous atmosphere.
"Ah, the master is such a blockhead. It has come to this point, but he still hasn't taken any action."
"Too strong a will is sometimes not a good thing! However, the arrow is on the string and we have to shoot it!"
"Xiao Qi, I am really destined to be a hard worker. I have to face such an unromantic master..."
Xiao Qi muttered a few words, then continued to exert force, exerting a stronger impact.
"Master, you are cultivating to be a mortal immortal, which is about practicing in the secular world and experiencing all kinds of human life."
"Emotions are human nature. The longer they are suppressed, the stronger they will rebound."
"Instead of suppressing yourself, why not let nature take its course and release yourself..."
Emperor Shitian was silent. Xiao Qi’s words were like a thunder, exploding in his heart.
He thought back to the thousand years of asceticism, which were dull and tedious, like chewing wax.
In the past, he always thought that only by cutting off the seven emotions and six desires could he pursue the great way without distraction.
Now it seems that he was wrong, and very wrong.
"Master, think about it, wouldn't it be a pleasant night with a beautiful woman in your arms and a beautiful lady adding fragrance to your sleeves?"
"Look, that stunning beauty, with skin whiter than snow, eyes and eyebrows like a painting, a charming smile, she sings and dances for you, her tenderness is like water..."
Xiaoqi's voice seems to have a kind of magic that makes people unconsciously immersed in that beautiful fantasy.
Indra closed his eyes, and beautiful pictures emerged in his mind.
He seemed to be in a sea of flowers, surrounded by beautiful girls. They had graceful figures, fluttering clothes, and they smiled and whispered to him, their breath as sweet as orchid.
He could even smell their faint body fragrance and soft touch.
"Think about it again, those red lips gently parted, speaking sweet words, those delicate hands gently caressing your face, that..."
Xiao Qi's voice became more and more psychedelic, and his speech speed became faster and faster, as if he wanted to pull Emperor Shitian into that gentle land.
Indra's heartbeat began to accelerate and his breathing became rapid.
He felt a heat surge in his body, making him feel hot and uncomfortable.
He had never experienced this feeling before, it was strange yet tempting.
He subconsciously wanted to resist, but he couldn't help but want to sink.
"Master, what are you still hesitating about?" Xiao Qi's voice was full of strong temptation.
"The desires of the mortal world are part of the Way of Heaven. Only by experiencing and understanding it can we better understand and control the Way of Heaven."
"Think about it, then..."
However, at this moment, Indra suddenly opened his eyes.
He actually woke up from the illusion.
He took a deep breath, tried to suppress his inner restlessness, and said slowly: "Xiao Qi, that's enough..."
His voice was a little hoarse, but with a hint of firmness.
“Main person, sorrow… … ”
Xiao Qi's voice suddenly stopped, as if he had not expected this situation.
It was a little confused. Indra was obviously already moved, so why was he still resisting?
Is it possible... that I am going to fail?
"Xiao Qi, I have my own ideas on this matter. Regarding the tempering of the heart in the mortal world, I have already formed my own insights..."
Xiao Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Using illusions to guide people is ultimately a minor method. If you can figure it out yourself, the effect will be better.
