Inside the private room.
Ji Mo was engrossed in a sapphire-blue book.
From underground, he had only brought up two treasures: a crystal skull and this Blue Blood Tome.
He had gifted the crystal skull to the Chi family.
He had asked Madam Chi to help excavate the completely ruined Lanyu mine, to unearth the Blue Blood people's treasure and the buried skeleton legion.
Currently, the Void Sword Sect had only a little over ten people, far too meager. With these terrifying crystal skeletons, they would soar.
This batch of treasure was also a timely rain, which should allow him to purchase a large amount of supplies to begin the first phase of Sky City's construction.
Once completed, he could have the system move the 'humble abode' courtyard from the Xuanling Realm.
It was more comfortable to live in his own doghouse, and he also missed those guys.
Regarding cultivation, Ji Mo was actually an outsider, knowing little.
The Blue Blood Tome recorded all the heritage of the Blue Blood people, and also provided extremely rich descriptions of cultivation knowledge, allowing him to learn a lot.
The Blue Blood people had their own unique insights into cultivation, leaning towards body cultivation, believing that the physical body was the fundamental basis of everything. As long as the body was indestructible, the soul could naturally be immortal, and longevity could be achieved.
Therefore, they focused on cultivating their bodies, especially making their bones as hard as iron, so that even after tens of thousands of years, their bones would not rot.
"So, all these years, the system has been finding fault with me and striking me for no reason, all to temper my body."
Ji Mo suddenly realized, finally understanding why he was inexplicably struck by the system from time to time, and why his body was strong, immensely powerful, and different from ordinary people.
Recalling past events, he felt a pang of sadness.
It was fortunate that he had persevered, otherwise, the grass on his grave would have grown quite high.
This darn system really didn't treat him like a person, striking him ruthlessly, truly trying to beat him to death.
"Only those who endure hardship can rise above others. Moreover, jade cannot be shaped into a useful object without carving. I was actually doing it for your own good. The pain struck your body, but it pained my heart."
The system sensed Ji Mo's resentment and responded.
Now Ji Hanhan's wings were strong, no longer something it could easily manipulate. It felt very guilty.
"Heh, then I thank you."
Ji Mo gritted his teeth and sneered.
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. He would remember this debt, believing that the day of revenge was not far off.
At that time, he would let this broken system understand why flowers are so red.
As the sky gradually darkened and night fell.
Bai Jingjing, who had been preparing all day, began her move, heading to find Ji Mo.
She had specifically bathed and dressed up meticulously.
Her silver-white hair cascaded like a waterfall, her eyebrows were curved, her nose was delicate and straight, and a faint blush was applied to her crystal-clear cheeks. Her cold demeanor had dissipated considerably, replaced by a touch of allure.
Her figure was graceful and slender, her posture tall and elegant. She had also deliberately donned a high-waisted immortal dress, standing tall and graceful, fresh and refined.
"What's going on? Why is Bai Jingjing acting so out of character? What is she plotting?"
Yan Zhi, who had been secretly monitoring Bai Jingjing, was very curious about what tricks she was up to.
When she saw Bai Jingjing knock on Ji Mo's door, she smiled: "A honey trap? Interesting! You probably don't know that Mr. Ji is actually gay."
"Mr. Ji, everything before was a misunderstanding. I have specially prepared some food and wine and have come to apologize to you."
To achieve her goal, Bai Jingjing reluctantly lowered her stance, feigning an apology.
Ji Mo didn't think too much about it and politely welcomed her into the room.
Bai Jingjing brought out several dishes she had personally cooked, laid them out one by one, and then produced a jar of special snow wine, aged for three thousand years, intending to get Ji Mo drunk and reveal his true nature.
"Mr. Ji, this is aged fine wine from my Snow Sect, brewed with over a hundred kinds of immortal herbs and rare treasures. Please try it."
Bai Jingjing specifically prepared a large bowl and filled it to the brim for Ji Mo.
At the same time, she quietly placed a recording stone.
This wine was very potent and contained immense medicinal power, easily making one dizzy.
Even though she consumed it regularly, she could only handle three bowls.
"Hmm, not bad."
Ji Mo took a sip and politely nodded in praise.
Compared to the homemade rice wine he brewed, the taste was still lacking, but this wine was novel. It was cold upon entering the mouth and boiled in the stomach, giving quite a feeling of ice and fire.
Seeing Ji Mo directly down a large bowl without even batting an eyelid, Bai Jingjing's eyelids twitched. What kind of physique was this, to instantly refine such a vast amount of medicinal power?
As she urged him to drink more, she found topics to chat with Ji Mo.
Then, to her surprise, she discovered that this lecher was actually learned and well-read, possessing unique perspectives on many things.
Furthermore, his views and interests were very compatible with hers.
Initially, she was just going through the motions, but gradually, she found chatting with Ji Mo very interesting, and they had a pleasant conversation, feeling like they had met a kindred spirit.
"This scoundrel, he seems truly different from what I imagined, or perhaps his acting is superb, revealing no flaws at all."
Bai Jingjing's thoughts were in disarray, and she had also drunk a considerable amount of wine, her face flushed and her body feeling warm.
As the saying goes, wine emboldens the timid. She also became a bit more unrestrained, deciding to go for broke and test whether Ji Mo was truly upright.
"It's so hot."
She deliberately moved closer to Ji Mo, her breath like orchid fragrance. With a casual flick of her hand, she loosened the clasp at the neckline, revealing her swan-like neck.
At the same time, she lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing her fair, long legs like fine jade, shimmering with a faint glow.
It had to be said that the skin of a snow woman was truly excellent, crystal clear and flawless. Any man would be tempted to reach out their devilish claws.
Ji Hanhan was also a man. His eyes darted back and forth, and finally, he couldn't resist and reached out his Lu Shan claws.
"Heh, men!"
A flicker of disappointment crossed Bai Jingjing's eyes. As expected, men were all bad. He couldn't hold back after all, revealing his true colors.
However, Ji Mo's hand reached towards her thigh. Instead of taking liberties, he considerately pulled down the hem of her skirt to cover her.
"Alas, young people really don't take care of their bodies. They have developed cold legs and don't pay attention to keeping warm."
Ji Mo muttered, noticing that Bai Jingjing's body had a heavy chill, especially her long legs, which were still emitting cold air.
This was likely a sequela from practicing cultivation incorrectly. If he were to give her a massage and physiotherapy, it would surely be cured instantly.
But to avoid suspicion, he was determined not to act.
"Still pretending? I don't believe it!"
Bai Jingjing was somewhat unbearable. Those beautiful legs were right in front of him, and he remained unmoved. Was he even a man?
Did my charm fail so badly? When you were staring at my legs, you seemed to dislike them.
Anger surged in her heart, and she directly fell into Ji Mo's arms.
"Hey, Miss Bai, what are you doing?"
Ji Mo's body stiffened.
Bai Jingjing gritted her teeth, grabbed his hand, and forcibly pulled him towards her, refusing to believe that Ji Mo wouldn't react.
As expected, Ji Mo reacted very strongly, shouting in panic: "Assault!"
