The eunuch in the cold palace: You get the Nine Yang Divine Skill right from the start!

Qin Shurong's expression froze for a moment, then she covered her mouth and chuckled, stroking her cheek with her right hand and saying, "Many gentlemen who have seen my beauty have praised me as a celestial being, but this is the first time I've received such praise from you."

"Why should Miss Qin care about what others think?"

Shen Mo retorted dismissively.

Judging solely by her appearance, Qin Shurong certainly deserves the title of the most beautiful courtesan.

However, the other person's expression was slightly stiff, just like those modern women who have undergone plastic surgery; no matter how beautiful they are, they always lack something.

What was even more disappointing was that she was not the kind of well-bred lady from a scholarly family, and she always carried a vulgar air about her.

"Come! I'll offer you tea instead of wine to show my sincerity, sir."

Qin Shurong picked up the teapot and poured two cups of hot tea.

Shen Mo gestured for Qin Shurong to enter. Qin Shurong smiled sweetly, held the teacup to her lips, and took a small sip.

Shen Mo then politely took a small sip. He had sensed beforehand that the other party had no cultivation fluctuations.

Just to be on the safe side, it would be better to let her drink it first.

Qin Shurong asked, "How is this tea?"

"It has a delicate fragrance, a sweet taste, and a long-lasting aftertaste, making it comparable to the first harvest of Longjing tea."

Shen Mo gave a very fair evaluation. Since he started working at Fengyi Palace, he had drunk quite a lot of Xiao Yishu's Imperial Longjing tea, so he could be considered a semi-expert in tea.

Qin Shurong smiled, revealing shallow dimples on her cheeks: "This is our Miao ethnic minority's Hundred Flower Tea, which is also mixed with a little bit of the poison of the Ghost-Faced Bee Queen. It's very precious."

Shen Mo looked horrified.

The moment he realized something was wrong, he secretly circulated his qi and blood, only to find that not only was there no reaction, but he also felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen.

"Don't worry, this poison won't kill you. It will only temporarily block your blood and qi, making you unable to move."

Qin Shurong's smile widened, then she paused, "I think you've already noticed from your expression, young master. No, I shouldn't call you young master, am I right, Eunuch Shen?"

"Who exactly are you?"

Shen Mo hadn't expected to be recognized. He could only try to stall for time by finding topics to talk about while attempting to circulate the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, and the Vajra King Skill. However, none of them responded, as if he were frozen in ice.

Sizzle—!

Qin Shurong grabbed her ear and ripped off the human skin mask from her face, revealing a stunningly beautiful face with even more mature and lovely peach-blossom cheeks and almond-shaped features.

She introduced it with great interest:

"Her name is Ding Shurong. She was the wife of the former leader of the Bai Sha Sect. Ten years ago, she killed everyone in our village because of a grudge!"

I was the only one who survived. She kidnapped me and made me her personal maid, subjecting me to beatings and beatings. In reality, I had been enduring this and secretly trying to please the cult leader, bewitching that old man to the point of obsession. In the end, he even killed his wife to please me.

I cut off her face and had a skilled craftsman make a human skin mask for me to use as a disguise when I traveled the world.

As for my real name... it's alright to tell you, my name is Qin Jiangyue.

Shen Mo felt a chill run down his spine.

What deep hatred must there be to cut off the enemy's face and make it into a mask? No wonder it felt unnatural before; it wasn't her face at all!

"As the wife of the cult leader, why are you playing the role of a courtesan?"

Shen Mo asked, "Those martial arts practitioners who died certainly didn't disappear without a trace like me, chosen through their talent. Even without the Divine Arrest Bureau's investigation, ordinary people would be suspicious."

But if that's the case, what's the point of Qin Jiangyue being the top courtesan?

"It's just a way to pass the time and do some experiments."

Those so-called geniuses, after taking the various poisons I researched, would die suddenly within ten days to half a month or even a year. Add to that another rare poison I have on hand, and afterwards they all thought something had happened between us. Isn't that ridiculous?

Qin Jiangyue sat on Shen Mo's lap and untied the straps from top to bottom.

The poisoning is severe.

Shen Mo felt as if his body no longer belonged to him.

Who would have thought that investigating a seemingly easy bounty would lead to the wife of the leader of the Bai Sha Sect? It was a truly miserable experience.

"I've heard a bit about your fearsome reputation. As a eunuch, you have such abundant blood and energy. No wonder Old Ghost Li fell into your hands."

As Qin Jiangyue spoke, she had already stripped him of his clothes, and then she even began to undress herself.

Her purple dress fell to the ground, and she stood there gracefully, completely naked.

She is indeed very beautiful; her slender figure, laden with fruit, is captivating to anyone who sees her.

"You must be helping the Divine Arrest Bureau investigate a case, right? Soon, you'll find out where those missing people went." Qin Jiangyue smiled wickedly and carried Shen Mo to the bed.

Like manipulating a puppet, Shen Mo allowed himself to be manipulated into a cross-legged meditation posture.

Qin Jiangyue struck the same pose, her arms outstretched, her ten fingers threaded through Shen Mo's fingers, keeping their fingers interlocked.

"Nine Yin Manual!"

Qin Jiangyue muttered to herself, her cultivation technique already activated, and her eyes strangely turned purple.

The aura of the Blood Core Realm was finally revealed at this moment!

No wonder I didn't notice it at all before.

At this moment, Shen Mo felt his blood and qi boil instantly, but he couldn't control it at all. It rushed towards his arms like a madman and then transformed into Qin Jiangyue's body.

This Nine Yin Manual is clearly an evil technique used for sexual exploitation!

At this moment, Shen Mo had a vague feeling.

"This is... the Nine Yang Divine Skill?!"

Yes!

The burning sensation within the blood and qi is a symbol of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, which actively operates under the impetus of the Nine Yin Great Method.

Shen Mo desperately circulated his internal energy, attempting to break free of the restraints.

"No, what are you doing? Why does your internal energy contain such masculine power?" Qin Jiangyue, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. She sensed something was wrong, but once the Nine Yin Manual, such an evil technique, was started, it could not be stopped on its own.

Otherwise, it will cause the caster's blood and qi to surge in reverse, resulting in serious injury or even death on the spot!

"Faster, faster!"

Shen Mo, of course, did not answer, but instead focused on increasing the speed of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

The situation changed instantly.

The blood and energy that had been drained were returned to him, and he began to absorb Qin Jiangyue's blood and energy.

"stop!"

Qin Jiangyue rebuked sharply, her tone softening as she said, "I am at the Blood Core Realm. You simply cannot withstand my blood and energy. If this continues, you will surely explode and die. Why don't we both stop?"

"Why waste your efforts, madam?"

Shen Mo sneered, already guessing that this so-called Nine Yin Technique couldn't be stopped easily, otherwise Qin Jiangyue would have stopped long ago.

As for whether the claim of him exploding and dying was true or false, he didn't know.

All he knew was that if Qin Jiangyue were to catch her breath, he would be the one to die.

"You...you deserve to die!"

"If you don't stop, I will throw you into the cave of ten thousand snakes and subject you to the agony of having your heart devoured by them!"

Seeing that Shen Mo was unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, and that her vital energy was being drained away little by little, Qin Jiangyue panicked completely, feeling both furious and helpless.

On the contrary, Shen Mo felt very comfortable.

This rapid increase in cultivation is many times faster than his usual arduous training, and he has already faintly touched the threshold of the mid-stage of the Blood Transformation Realm.

What's amazing is that this Nine Yin Manual is quite profound; it completely integrates the absorbed blood and qi, which is incomparable to other evil abilities that rapidly increase cultivation.

Fifteen minutes later.

Shen Mo's eyes shone brightly, and a golden light emanated from his body.

Breakthrough! Mid-stage Blood Refining Realm!

"My Blood Pill!"

Qin Jiangyue felt as if her heart was being torn apart. The Blood Core she had painstakingly gathered was beginning to disintegrate, which meant that her cultivation level was about to drop from the Blood Core Realm to the Blood Moving Realm.

With a hardened heart, she said coldly, "I'd rather die a glorious death than live a shameful life. Shen Mo, you forced me to this!"

The next moment, the Nine Yin Manual was forcibly interrupted.

Qin Jiangyue felt a sweet taste in her throat and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body went limp and she collapsed onto the bed.

The dissipation of the blood pill finally stopped, but she was severely injured and unable to move.
