Chapter 551: Open Your Eyes to Scenic Mountains and Rivers, Close Them to the Eternal Star Map!
Samanthab began walking towards the pond, seemingly intent on cleaning the dust off her body right in front of Jun, treating him as if he were her husband.
To Samanthab, all men under the sky were the same.
Whether rich or powerful, ordinary or martial artists, as long as they were men, they all sought one thing in life: freedom.
And what is freedom?
Not worrying about food or drink, life or death, or women.
It’s that simple.
Taking a step back, beneath Dragon Vein Mountain, there was no one else but her and Jun.
Did Jun have no thoughts?
She had kept herself pure for so many years and even she had thoughts; how could he not?
Men are all the same once their pants are off.
With this in mind, Samanthab immersed herself in the pond and removed her long robe…
She even washed her hair.
After being cleansed by the pond water, her cheeks returned to their original state.
Her delicate and charming face was as smooth as silk.
When Samanthab emerged from the water, her eyes were filled with allure!
The way she looked at Jun could not simply be described as flirtatious.
Like a lotus emerging from clear water, she was unparalleled.
Jun looked down at Samanthab from above, his face showing no emotion.
“Want to play in the water?” Samanthab said as she tied her long hair into a bun and secured it with a hairpin.
Jun remained unmoved and silent.
Seeing this, Samanthab smiled brightly.
“Stop pretending. There’s no one else here! You disappeared for over three months before, surely suffering greatly from your internal poison. Come, let me take care of you!”
“After today, you won’t suffer anymore! And neither will I! My Pure Yin Body is the perfect supplement for you. If you obtain my…”
Before Samanthab could finish speaking, Jun suddenly disappeared from his spot and reappeared at the edge of the pond, pressing Samanthab into the water with the back of his knife.
Gurgle gurgle gurgle…
Silence.
A deathly silence.
Only the sound of bubbles in the water.
After about five minutes, Jun lifted the back of his knife.
Splash!
Samanthab’s head burst out of the water, her eyes red with disbelief as she looked at Jun and shouted.
“Are you crazy?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jun pressed the back of his knife down again.
Gurgle gurgle gurgle…
Samanthab was submerged once more.
Jun had used this same method on Margaret in the Dragon Confining Well at Mount Emei before.
Since then, Margaret had never dared to overstep in front of Jun again.
Ten minutes later…
Jun withdrew his knife once more.
Samanthab’s head emerged from the water again, but just as she took a breath…
Jun pressed the back of his knife down once more.
“…”
Samanthab was utterly disoriented.
This pervert…
After repeating this process a dozen times, only Samanthab’s head remained above water. Only she knew how much water she had swallowed during this ordeal!
Her stomach was bloated!
Like a pregnant woman…
For the last time, as Jun was about to press Samanthab into the water again, she weakly said,
“Stop, stop stop stop stop, I’m full! If I drink any more, my stomach will explode!”
“I-I-I-I-I give up, I really give up. Please spare me!”
“I won’t overstep again, I promise!”
Jun hesitated for a moment before standing up and turning away.
Samanthab crawled out of the pond like a nearly drowned ghost…
Her entire body was soaked; she only had a thin shirt on top and silk pants on the bottom. She struggled to put on her outer robe before lying spread-eagle on the shore, gasping for fresh air.
Meanwhile, water was still coming out of her nose and mouth.
At that moment, Samanthab didn’t even dare to complain internally. She looked at the dome of this space with a blank mind and lifeless eyes.
Jun then turned back to Samanthab and asked,
“Does Shannon practice Pure Yin True Skill?”
Samanthab weakly replied,
“No.”
Jun frowned and said,
“Then obtaining Dragon Element is useless for her?”
Samanthab’s voice trembled as she replied,
“I’ve studied for so many years and inherited Pure Yin True Skill. Even though I didn’t get Dragon Element, at least I got a head start.”
“Shannon is similar to me; she has to have some advantage too, right?”
“Of course, although she’s been in White Emperor City all these years, she hasn’t cut off contact with the outside world. As far as I know, she’s now one of the queens of Western countries and one of the four popes of Eastern Orthodoxy!”
“She has many followers! So her next step after leaving Island of the Five Emperors is to target your family! I estimate that only by doing so can she obtain your Chester Ancient Clan’s Pure Yin True Skill!”
Hearing this, Jun frowned deeply.
Four words suddenly flashed through his mind:
Fire in the backyard!
But at that moment, Samanthab continued,
“However, I estimate she won’t act hastily, at least not against your wife and children. After all, your wife also has the Harding surname! If we consider seniority, your wife Lyvia is one of Shannon’s masters!”
Jun asked in confusion,
“My wife Lyvia is related to Harding Ancient Clan?”
Samanthab bitterly smiled,
“More than related. Do you think an ordinary woman could give birth to such a young dragon? Of course, Lyvia probably doesn’t know where her bloodline comes from!”
“If she knew, she wouldn’t have married you!”
Jun frowned and asked,
“Do you know where her bloodline comes from?”
Samanthab spat out another mouthful of water and weakly said,
“Chronicle of the Human Emperor! She and her sister were sent out by someone when they were born and placed in the Harding family outside! Or maybe there’s an even deeper plot! I’m not entirely sure!”
Jun skeptically asked,
“Why?”
Samanthab looked at Jun and said,
“There used to be a method called Tui Bei Tu that could predict the fate of mountains and rivers! And there was another method equally famous called Palm-of-the-Hand Gazing at Mountains and Rivers Technique!”
“Before you were born or even before your father was born, someone predicted your existence! For thousands of years, you are the only true dragon remnant in the human world!”
“So those old monsters would naturally try every means to seize your fate! Especially Harding Ancient Clan from Chronicle of the Human Emperor. They may not appear often, but when they do, their methods are comparable to divine beings!”
Jun calmly said,
“That’s absurd!”
Samanthab suddenly sneered,
“Absurd? Humanity has a traceable history of five thousand years alone. In these five thousand years alone, what kind of people haven’t existed? Initially, people revered natural forces; otherwise, why would Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism have so many classics? Why did Fuxi create Bagua in ancient times? Why do modern fortune-tellers predict mountains and rivers?”
“Just like me. I have also trained in Lordran. Can modern technology detect my meridians? Absolutely not. But why do I have countless vital energies within me?”
“Forget it. Talking to you about this is useless. Even if I willingly become your dog and let you control me, you still have to value me!”
Saying this, Samanthab finally regained some strength and struggled to get up while muttering,
“You refuse free meat. When midnight comes and your internal poison acts up again, you’ll suffer!”
Jun coldly looked at Samanthab and suddenly asked,
“Do you know Palm-of-the-Hand Gazing at Mountains and Rivers Technique?”
Samanthab replied irritably,
“Of course. How else would I know that Dragon Element fell into Shannon’s hands? Do you think it’s an ordinary fortune-telling method?”
Jun said nothing more but pointed his finger at Samanthab’s forehead.
Samanthab thought Jun had a change of heart and was going to help her restore her power. But as a warm current surged into her mind, she realized it wasn’t so…
Jun seemed to be using some method to read her memories.
For a moment, Samanthab looked at Jun as if he were a demon.
A faint smile appeared on his face as he said,
“The end of cultivation is indeed no longer physical but spiritual!”
After an unknown amount of time passed, Jun finally withdrew his hand and looked down at his palm lines.
The technique of Palm-of-the-Hand Gazing at Mountains and Rivers was thus mastered.
“You…”
Samanthab looked at Jun in shock and disbelief,
“You actually learned Palm-of-the-Hand Gazing at Mountains and Rivers Technique! And without shortening your lifespan? How… how did you do it?”
Jun glanced at Samanthab and calmly said,
“As long as I wish it so: open my eyes to scenic mountains and rivers; close them to an eternal star map!”
“Unfortunately, I haven’t reached Leona’s level yet-able to alter fate with a mere gesture. But… soon!”
With Samanthab’s level of understanding, she couldn’t grasp what Jun meant.
But she still felt an inexplicable awe.
Jun looked at Samanthab again and coldly laughed,
“You are indeed good at scheming but truthful in your words. You really haven’t killed anyone. So I’ll spare your life for now. From today on, manage Island of the Five Emperors for me for three months. This place will be renamed Spirit Town and belong to Lordran’s territory!”
“In three months’ time, leave here with me to find Shannon!”
Samanthab stared unblinkingly at Jun with no trace of hatred left in her eyes; instead, they were filled with reverence like that of a devout follower.
After a long while, Samanthab finally said,
“Yes!”
Only then did Jun point at Samanthab’s chest again.
With one touch,
Samanthab felt a tingling sensation throughout her body from head to toe-more pleasurable than ever before-as if countless streams of vital energy were nourishing her meridians.
It felt so good that she trembled all over.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
After another unknown period passed, Jun finally withdrew his hand and calmly instructed,
“Go now. I need to retreat here for some time. Although there’s no Dragon Element protection here anymore, the spiritual energy here is quite beneficial for me!”
