System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests

Chapter 275 - 169: Happiness Shared Is Happiness Multiplied?

"Are you alright?"

Miss Wu was held by the Scholar’s grip on her throat, yet she showed no fear, only looked at the Scholar with interest:

"It seems you are no ordinary person, but I wonder how to address you?"

The Scholar’s face darkened, channeling his power to his finger, and suddenly exerting force.

Miss Wu’s face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the other three women showed no concern.

One held the little old man, laughing heartily.

The other two showed no signs of hesitation, only chuckled at Miss Wu.

Chen Zhengnan, witnessing this, couldn’t pinpoint the mystery, but immediately spoke:

"Something’s not right, let her go quickly!"

By the time the words were spoken, it was already too late.

A pink mist followed the Scholar’s fingers, quickly engulfing them, and then his eyes visibly began to change.

The clear eyes became bewildered, a pink enchantment spread over the black and white eyes.

The veins on his forehead throbbed, and fresh blood flowed in torrents, his entire body emitting a peculiar sanguine aura.

Mist enveloped the crest of his head, as though he was inside a steaming oven.

Miss Wu’s finger brushed over the Scholar’s cheek, and the hand gripping her neck had already loosened:

"Such formidable physique..."

The sound of a sword suddenly rang out.

It was Chen Zhengnan who made the move!

He was an expert from the Taiheng Sect, his Martial Arts rooted in the Taiheng Seven Swords, enveloped in Taiheng Sword Intent.

His sword strike seemed to change the colors of heaven and earth.

Chu Qing couldn’t sit still, these women’s methods were too bizarre.

Originally thinking the Scholar had some high skills, needing no intervention, yet unexpectedly he fell so easily.

Just as Chu Qing rose, red ribbons unfolded from all directions, and Chu Qing pulled Gentle aside to avoid them.

The red ribbons divided the main hall into numerous independent spaces of inconsistent sizes.

Enchanting figures danced amidst these ribbons.

Ethereal music, paired with captivating dance moves, echoed in harmony.

Swaying souls, causing minds to wander aimlessly.

Chen Zhengnan’s voice seemed to echo from afar:

"This is the Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique, with the Seven Charm Celestial Demon Dance, watching it discords the mind, touching it seduces the heart... Remember to guard your heart, isolating the seven emotions..."

The latter words became inaudible.

The ethereal music deepened in intensity, yet it didn’t feel noisy, the sound resonating in the mind, isolating all external sounds.

Chu Qing’s Mingyu Scripture Inner Breath circulated, feeling pure within and not invaded by external evils.

The Inner Breath was passed to Gentle, who was widening her eyes, sneakily watching the figures on the red ribbons with various poses.

A moment of silence:

"Don’t watch!"

Only after speaking did Chu Qing notice Gentle’s face was flushed.

A moment of surprised pause:

"Do you feel anything?"

Chu Qing naturally remembered Gentle’s emotional indifference, this Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique, although called ’Seven Charms’, actually uses joy, anger, worry, thought, sorrow, fear, and surprise to awaken the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, the six desires.

Just that these six desires, generally speaking, such as the ’eye’ in six desires refers to ’sight desire’.

Wanting to see beautiful people, beautiful things, beautiful scenery... all belong to sight desire.

Yet in the Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique, whether ’sight desire’, ’hearing desire’, ’fragrance desire’, ’taste desire’, or ’body desire’, ’mind desire’, all coincide with ’lust’.

Thus, what is seen and heard inevitably arouses inner impulse.

If Gentle is influenced by the Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique, perhaps it could stimulate Gentle’s emotional indifference to a certain extent.

This was why he asked.

Gentle glanced at Chu Qing, her eyes although still clear, also held a hint of moisture.

She softly spoke:

"A bit embarrassed."

Chu Qing was initially amused, this Seven Charms Burning Passion Technique indeed belonged to the Demon Skill path, although protected by his Inner Strength, typically, one should see nothing, hear nothing, to sever all thoughts.

She watched for quite a while, and ended up a bit embarrassed?

Yet in this way, does it also indicate the technique has some effect on Gentle?

Chu Qing suddenly became curious.

Back then, the person from the Wen Family who evaded the Celestial Fragrance Body Death Tribulation did so by practicing the Earth Scroll from the Unchanging Celestial Book, so what exactly was written in this Earth Scroll?

Could it also be related to the seven emotions and six desires?

The Taiyi Sect had no connection with Chu Qing himself, yet due to those around him, he had numerous ties with this sect.

Otherwise, he truly wished to peek at the Unchanging Celestial Book... to see if the Taiyi Ancestor wrote any shameful Martial Arts in it.

After gaining this insight, Chu Qing remained silent.

He had expected danger upon arrival, but with skillful Chen Zhengnan present, along with the discreet Scholar, and White Horse Golden Sword Cao Qiupu.

He did not wish to become the center of attention...

But now it seemed, these figures were not reliable.

It seemed only he could intervene.

He unsheathed his blade, about to act.

When suddenly a Celestial Tone echoed through all directions.

This sound concealed Sword Intent, and upon its emergence, the surrounding illusory music seemed to be sliced by the sword.

"It’s the Seven Rhymes Celestial Sound Sword Technique."

Chu Qing suddenly realized, Cao Qiupu finally acted.

His Martial Arts had a restraining effect on the Seven Charm Celestial Demon Dance, acting right at the crucial moment.

As the thought arose, a sudden sound of tearing fabric echoed.
