Chapter 136: Xiao Xiyue: So this is the tribulation of love!

Above the inky night sky hung a round, silver moon.

Its faint moonlight spilled over the pavilions and towers of the Lu family estate, as if draping them in a layer of silver gauze.

The entire Lu family estate was dark and silent, save for one courtyard within the inner residence, which remained brightly lit.

Under the frosty moonlight, a figure in white robes and a white skirt, resembling a celestial maiden from the moon, arrived at this courtyard, her garments fluttering in the night breeze.

“Mmm ~”

Before she could descend, Xiao Xiyue, resembling the moon goddess Chang’e, suddenly heard a sound that was both resentful and sorrowful, like weeping and lamenting, yet filled with captivating charm.

This sound caused Xiao Xiyue’s jade face to momentarily freeze, her heartbeat suddenly accelerating.

This accelerated heartbeat caused her Supreme Forgetfulness Mantra to rapidly circulate.

“What is this sound?”

Xiao Xiyue furrowed her beautiful brows, a hint of doubt in her heart.

Why would such a simple sound cause her heart to palpitate?

The Supreme Forgetfulness Mantra circulated, suppressing this inexplicable emotional surge.

Subsequently, she followed the sound, gazing towards the room within the courtyard.

The shadows reflected through the window instantly allowed her to guess what was happening inside.

This caused her delicate heart to beat ’thump, thump, thump’ once more.

She realized that her actions were inappropriate.

Her arrival was ill-timed.

However, a surge of excitement and stimulation arose in her heart, as if guided by a ghostly force, she subtly injected spiritual power into her beautiful eyes, peering through the window.

She saw the several Lu family mistresses she had met during the day, together with Lu Changsheng…

In that instant, Xiao Xiyue was struck as if by lightning.

A blush instantly flooded her exquisite face, and she almost cried out in alarm.

This single glance brought an unprecedentedly intense shock to Xiao Xiyue.

Her Dao heart, which had just been suppressed and calmed by the Supreme Forgetfulness Mantra, erupted at this moment.

It caused her Dao heart to tremble, the Supreme Forgetfulness Mantra almost failing, and her delicate body even felt slightly weak.

At the age of fifteen, she had entered the Immortal Sect and began to cultivate single-mindedly.

Regarding matters between men and women, although she knew a little, it was only through hearsay and reading some related books.

In reality, she was still a blank slate.

Where had she ever seen such a thing?

Moreover, such a stimulating and shocking scene.

Under the moonlight, Xiao Xiyue’s crystalline, jade-like skin reflected the cool moonlight.

Her face, as pure and holy as the bright moon in the ninth heaven, was now as red as the sunset clouds, its beauty indescribable.

Her emotions surged and fluctuated, at a loss for what to do.

“Could this be the emotional tribulation I must experience?”

Xiao Xiyue gently bit her lip, the Supreme Forgetfulness Mantra circulating, suppressing the surging tide within her heart.

Just now, the unprecedented shocking and stimulating scene had caused her heart to race and her delicate body to weaken.

But at the same time, the Supreme Forgetfulness Mantra was also operating frantically.

It seemed that her indestructible and unbreakable bottleneck barrier had a faint loosening at this moment.

This made her vaguely realize what her emotional tribulation was.

Before this, she only knew that she had to undergo an emotional tribulation.

The emotional tribulation fell upon Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng was the opportunity for her breakthrough.

But she herself was not very clear about the specifics of the emotional tribulation.

Because the word ’emotion’ was too broad.

It could be kinship, friendship, love, or affection between men and women.

And these emotions can also be divided into many kinds.

At this moment, she vaguely understood.

It was affection between men and women.

Affection between men and women, including lust.

And what she had to do was to suppress emotion and forget desire.

Thereby knowing emotion and forgetting emotion, having emotion and being detached.

After understanding her emotional tribulation, Xiao Xiyue’s bright moon-like beautiful eyes flickered uncertainly, trembling slightly.

Not only was her heart chaotic, but her mind was also a mess, somewhat dazed, and at a loss for what to do.

At the same time.

Lu Changsheng, who was working hard in the courtyard room, keenly sensed a feeling of being watched.

His brow furrowed slightly.

Although there was no great protective array in his mansion.

But the outer residence had guards patrolling, and the inner residence had the Nine Nether Mastiff guarding it.

In the mortal world, ordinary experts would definitely not be able to sneak in.

His eyes peered through the doors and windows, looking outside.

He immediately saw a fairy-like white figure.

“Xiao Xiyue?”

Lu Changsheng looked at this white figure, somewhat surprised and doubtful.

He didn’t know what this Fairy Xiyue was doing here late at night.

Not cultivating and sleeping late at night, but looking for him to chat and talk?

However, seeing that the person watching was Xiao Xiyue, not some villain, Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but feel relieved.

However, this pause caused his wife, Lu Lanshu, to suddenly feel empty.

Her face, which was dignified and elegant during the day, was now as delicate as a flower, charming and moving.

Turning her head to look at her husband, her slightly narrowed beautiful eyes were filled with water, and her voice was soft and sweet: “Husband, what’s wrong?”

The three concubines next to her also looked at Lu Changsheng.

“It’s nothing.”

Lu Changsheng saw that Xiao Xiyue hurriedly left the courtyard the moment he looked out, so he didn’t pay too much attention to it.

Presumably, Xiao Xiyue had something to look for him late at night, so she stumbled upon this kind of thing.

Moreover, he couldn’t stop now and run over to ask Xiao Xiyue what was wrong, right?

It was said that Xiao Xiyue, in her confusion, noticed Lu Changsheng’s gaze.

Even though she cultivated the Supreme Forgetfulness Mantra, her heart was pure and she was ignorant of the world, in this situation, she couldn’t help but feel a slight palpitation in her heart.

Almost fleeing, she left the courtyard and floated back to her own courtyard.

Xiao Xiyue returned to her room, and the Supreme Forgetfulness Mantra operated rapidly, gradually restoring her exquisite face to its coldness.

But thinking of the scene just now, she still felt a tremor from the depths of her soul, and her delicate body felt soft and hot.

“Is this my emotional tribulation? No wonder I have never been able to complete the Supreme Forgetfulness Mantra.”

“My state of mind is still far from enough.”

Xiao Xiyue murmured in her heart.

She couldn’t help but reach out and touch one side of her cheek, which was slightly hot.

She herself didn’t know what was going on with her just now.

Was she bewitched?

Clearly realizing what Lu Changsheng was doing.

She still had to take a peek.

“If I can completely control and suppress this emotion, perhaps, it will be the time when my state of mind is complete and I can see through the illusion.”

With the operation of the Supreme Forgetfulness Mantra, Xiao Xiyue’s emotions gradually calmed down.

But thinking of having to completely control this emotion, Xiao Xiyue couldn’t help but sigh softly.

She raised her head and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky outside the window.

For some reason, the scene she had just seen reappeared before her eyes.

Causing her just calmed heart to palpitate slightly.

Xiao Xiyue did not dispel this blushing scene from her mind.

Instead, she chose to face it directly.

Because, for her, it was also a kind of tempering of her state of mind.

If she couldn’t even master this kind of emotion, how could she talk about passing the ’emotional tribulation’ and seeing through the illusion.

She didn’t know how long had passed.

Xiao Xiyue found that she could finally face this scene without any fluctuations.

Facing the scene that impacted her Dao heart.

And at this time, it was also dawn.

Xiao Xiyue got up, slightly tidied her skirt, and cast a cleansing spell on herself.

She was preparing to find Lu Changsheng to confess and reveal the matter of the emotional tribulation.

And explain what happened last night.

“Fellow Daoist Lu.”

Xiao Xiyue came to the front yard and found Lu Changsheng.

Due to what happened last night, she couldn’t help but feel a few faint ripples in her heart when she saw Lu Changsheng at this time.

However, after a whole night of tempering her state of mind, she didn’t have too much of an abnormality.

“Fellow Daoist Xiao, let’s set off after breakfast.”

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

Without mentioning what happened last night.

After all, it was a bit awkward to talk about this kind of thing.

The best way was to pretend that nothing happened.

“It’s not about this matter, I have something I want to say to Fellow Daoist Lu.”

Xiao Xiyue shook her head slightly, and said with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng knew that the other party must have something important to say.

Thinking about it, this must be the reason why the other party came to him last night, right?

Lu Changsheng immediately invited Xiao Xiyue to a secluded side hall.

He asked, “I wonder, what is the matter, Fellow Daoist Xiao?”

“Fellow Daoist Lu should also be able to see that I have undergone significant changes compared to ten years ago.”

Xiao Xiyue looked at Lu Changsheng and said softly.

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He didn’t know why Xiao Xiyue was suddenly telling him this.

“This is due to the cultivation technique I practice.”

Xiao Xiyue continued.

During these few days of getting along with Lu Changsheng, experiencing the mortal world and observing the myriad aspects of life, she had been observing Lu Changsheng.

Through observation, Lu Changsheng could be considered to have passed her test.

That’s why she was thinking of revealing the matter of the emotional tribulation.

Since she wanted to reveal the matter of the emotional tribulation, she naturally had to explain the cause and effect of the matter.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng thought to himself, ‘As expected.’

As expected, just as he had guessed, Xiao Xiyue’s change was due to cultivating some kind of technique.

But he still didn’t know why Xiao Xiyue was telling him this.

Without waiting for Lu Changsheng to speak, Xiao Xiyue continued, “The cultivation technique I practice is called the Supreme Emotionless Sutra.”

“To cultivate this technique, one must temper the heart in the mortal world, experience the disturbances, joys, and sorrows of the mortal world, to understand the profound meaning of ‘Supreme Emotionlessness.’”

“My master refined pills for me, allowing me to skip this step and cultivate this technique.”

“But my state of mind still has flaws, making it difficult to break through.”

Xiao Xiyue looked at Lu Changsheng and said slowly.

“Supreme Emotionless Sutra?”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

He knew that profound techniques would have such requirements, making them very difficult to cultivate.

Like the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Sutra he cultivated, it also had requirements in terms of state of mind.

It’s just that his situation was special, he had a cheat, and could ignore this aspect.

“And my state of mind has flaws, and I have gradually realized that I need to overcome an ’emotional tribulation’ to see through the illusions and achieve a great state of mind.”

“The main purpose of my descent from the mountain this time is to experience the emotional tribulation.”

“And when I met Fellow Daoist Lu, I sensed an opportunity for breakthrough from you, and the ’emotional tribulation’ is likely to fall on you.”

“This is also the reason why I asked Fellow Daoist Lu to give me a ride before.”

Xiao Xiyue said with a cold expression and a calm demeanor.

“Emotional tribulation.”

Lu Changsheng was suddenly enlightened when he heard this.

Before, he only knew that Xiao Xiyue’s closeness to him and asking him for a ride was related to the Peach Blossom Gu.

But he didn’t know the specifics.

Now, after hearing Xiao Xiyue’s words, he immediately understood.

The so-called ’emotional tribulation’ should be about experiencing emotional matters.

Xiao Xiyue came down the mountain, preparing to try experiencing emotions to break through the bottleneck.

But as soon as she met him, the Peach Blossom Gu made this emotion fall on him.

And Xiao Xiyue also noticed this, so she had been observing and sizing him up at Ruyi Tower.

And she took the initiative to express that she was preparing to travel and had no place to go for the time being, asking him to give her a ride.

The purpose was to break through by experiencing the emotional tribulation through him.

Now that she was being frank, she must want him to do something.

“As a good friend, helping Fellow Daoist Xiao solve her difficulties is naturally my duty.”

“I wonder, how does Fellow Daoist Xiao want to experience this emotional tribulation? If I can help, Lu will naturally help.”

Since the other party had said this much, Lu Changsheng felt that it was not good to refuse, so he said this.

“I myself am not very clear about this emotional tribulation.”

“Originally, when I was by Fellow Daoist Lu’s side, my mind would be disturbed, causing the technique to operate automatically.”

“So I wanted to ask Fellow Daoist Lu to cooperate and try it out, but last night…”

Xiao Xiyue had a cold expression, like a fairy from the Moon Palace, with an extremely holy temperament, revealing her situation.

After all, when she decided to cultivate this Supreme Emotionless Sutra, she had the awareness and determination of ‘If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die in the evening.’

Now that the Dao was in front of her, she would naturally not be as coy as a young girl.

“Ah, this…”

Lu Changsheng was stunned after hearing Xiao Xiyue’s words.

Although he had thoughts about Xiao Xiyue.

But due to the other party’s status and position, he temporarily suppressed these thoughts.

But now, the emotional tribulation that the other party was talking about was completely an initiative to offer herself.

In this case, if he said that he could cooperate, and even coaxed her a little deeper, he might be able to make Xiao Xiyue give birth to a child before returning to the Qingyun Sect.

However, Lu Changsheng did not have this kind of thought.

The identity of a Core Formation True Person disciple made him wary.

“Regarding this emotional tribulation, Lu also has some views, and believes that Lu does not necessarily need to do anything. Fellow Daoist Xiao can do this…”

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment before saying euphemistically.

For this kind of thing that was offered to him, if it were someone else, he, Lu, would naturally not refuse.

But Xiao Xiyue’s status and position were something he could not afford to offend.

Doing so would not bring him much benefit, and would easily cause him trouble.

Therefore, if the other party could solve this emotional tribulation on her own and owe him a favor, that would be the best.

“Is that really possible?”

Xiao Xiyue also fell silent for a moment after hearing Lu Changsheng’s words.

Obviously, her heart was not so calm.

After all, her Supreme Emotionless Sutra would be affected in front of Lu Changsheng.

She could not achieve complete detachment from external objects.

“Fellow Daoist Xiao can try.”

Lu Changsheng took out a soft cushion and futon and handed it to Xiao Xiyue.

Immediately, the plan for the two to travel to the market was also changed.

Inside the room.

Xiao Xiyue sat cross-legged on a pink futon cushion with a cold expression.

Suddenly, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Immediately afterward, a little blush appeared on her cold and holy face, which was beautiful.

The blush was like a rosy cloud, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Making her beautiful face as red as a rosy cloud, her red lips slightly parted, and her breath was slightly rapid.

After a few breaths, the rosy cloud spread from her cheeks to the roots of her ears, making her two crystal clear and lovely ears full of red, and her snow-white and slender swan neck also gradually became rosy.

The perfect delicate body inside the fairy’s moon-white dress also began to tremble slightly.

The moon-white cloud-patterned embroidered shoes wrapped around her round and delicate jade feet were also trembling gently, restless.

After a moment.

A suppressed heavenly sound came from the fairy’s throat, causing her to painfully furrow her willow eyebrows, then her expression became confused, her red lips slightly parted, and she collapsed to the ground.

“Huff!”

“Huff!”

“Huff!”

Xiao Xiyue looked at the eaves with confused beautiful eyes, carefully observing the changes in her own state of mind.

In a trance, she realized that her state of mind at this moment.

In that overwhelming, dreamlike instant, her state of mind was somewhat similar to when she saw the scene that impacted her Dao heart last night.

“To see through the illusions, one must be able to control these emotions.”

Xiao Xiyue murmured in her heart.

She could feel that this method was indeed helpful to her.

It made her feel a burst of ease in her heart.

It seemed that the irritability and distracting thoughts regarding the bottleneck in her cultivation breakthrough had lessened a lot.

It seemed that her realm had even loosened a little.

“But, it’s still not enough.”

Xiao Xiyue operated the Supreme Emotionless Sutra, her eyes were cold and calm, and she muttered to herself.

After supporting herself up with her fair jade arms and slightly tidying up her dress, Xiao Xiyue pushed open the door and walked out, and found Lu Changsheng again.
