There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

No wonder the other person looked so unpleasant back then.

Jiang Mo couldn't help but let his gaze fall on Bai Mushuang's towering curves. He felt as if a little devil had popped out and was constantly tempting and urging him in his ear.

Let all sorts of distracting thoughts come rushing in:

Normally, when she's bound by armor, you wouldn't guess that she has such a broad mind. No wonder she's a widow who has raised children!

Surely they can accept an adopted son who is not related by blood...

But then a rational side emerged, fearing that Jiang Mo might act rashly, and grabbed his ear, yelling and reminding him: No, no!

Quickly think about Bai Yifei from the original novel!

That kid is clearly suffering from a qi deviation during his training and needs to drink women's blood to stabilize his condition. Isn't he just like the Green-Winged Bat King from the Qin's Moon version?

Bai Mushuang must have practiced the same technique.

It's probably eyeing your abundant energy and vitality; if you don't run away quickly, you might be drained dry! In the literal sense, yes.

The demon, the embodiment of desire, became even more excited upon hearing this:

Isn't this even better? I originally thought I would have to stay for a long time before I would have the chance to glimpse the secrets of the Bai family, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see the mysteries of their cultivation techniques so soon.

Isn't it just yang energy?

Just take it and use it. Is it really that much less? If it's not enough, should I try to get some from real life?

My mind is in turmoil.

As two voices from different perspectives were arguing in their hearts, a cold voice suddenly rang in Jiang Mo's ears. Bai Mushuang stared at her obviously absent-minded adopted son, her brows furrowing slightly.

Wasn't it you who provoked them?

Subconsciously muttering a curse to himself, Jiang Mo quickly suppressed his chaotic thoughts, tried his best to sit up straight, and began to speak without looking to the side:

"What brings you here, Master?"

"Why are you being so distant again? Didn't I tell you before that when there are no outsiders, you can just call me Mother?"

Like ice and snow melting, a rare tenderness appeared on Bai Mushuang's face.

It shimmers with the glow of motherhood.

Jiang Mo shifted his gaze somewhat guiltily to the side. Thinking of the chaotic thoughts that had been running through his mind, he couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed and dared not meet Bai Mushuang's eyes.

They were afraid of accidentally revealing something.

"As expected, Mo'er, you already guessed it. I was also hesitant about how to bring it up, but now I can speak frankly."

Seeing Jiang Mo's reaction, Bai Mushuang sighed softly.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Mo's heart skipped a beat. When he saw Bai Mushuang get up and walk towards him, he instinctively wanted to back away.

No way, no way, no way!

for real?

So, should I lie down or fight back? No, it seems pointless to agonize over this. Given the difference in strength between the two sides, it's impossible to fight back!

Jiang Mo is quite experienced in this regard.

“I know this is selfish, but I can’t think of a better way. As a mother, I have to think about Fei’er’s well-being, even if it’s not what he wants…”

Seemingly not daring to make eye contact with Jiang Mo, Bai Mushuang shifted her gaze to the side.

Her face, like a glacier thawing and melting, showed obvious remorse, and a struggling expression of inner conflict and hesitation.

But that still couldn't stop Bai Mushuang from approaching Jiang Mo.

Hey, what do you mean by "thinking of Bai Yifei's best interests"? Does this even have anything to do with him? No way, am I really going to be a cuckold?

My tender shoulders are not capable of bearing such a heavy burden!

Why don't you just drain me dry? That would be much more satisfying...

Jiang Mo had actually wanted to escape for a long time, but when he tried to take a step, he found that Bai Mushuang had already done something. A thin layer of frost spread out and silently froze Jiang Mo in place.

Using the same methods as Bai Yifei.

But it is used more skillfully and controlled more subtly.

Seeing Bai Mushuang reach into his arms, Jiang Mo closed his eyes and steeled his heart, ready to go with her. But the next second, a strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils.

Oh, so it's starting to bite already?

Wait, why doesn't it hurt at all?

Jiang Mo opened his eyes with some surprise and saw that Bai Mushuang's delicate hand, which had reached into his arms, had withdrawn. However, what appeared in his field of vision was not the expected fair skin and smooth, sweat-free figure.

Instead, it was a scroll stained with blood.

This thing was soaked in an unknown amount of blood, so much so that when Jiang Mo looked at it, he felt as if an endless mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood had appeared before his eyes.

The overwhelming smell of blood quickly calmed him down.

Forgetting to wonder why he hadn't smelled the barely concealed stench of blood before, Jiang Mo's gaze was already drawn to the Qin script on the blood-red scroll.

Frost Mystery God-Slaying Strategy

Note by Lord Wu'an.

Who?

Just as Jiang Mo's eyes widened, wondering if he was seeing things, Bai Mushuang's soft voice rang out again:

"Mo'er, I hope you can master the 'Frost Profound God-Slaying Strategy'."

Pshaw, is that all? You scared me half to death. Why make it so secretive if you're going to pass on your skills? I'd think you were going to teach me the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

Wait, something's not right. This technique seems to be a closely guarded secret of the Bai family...

Aside from the patriarch, it seems only the heir is qualified to cultivate, right? Why not pass it on to Bai Yifei, but instead to me?

With his gaze now calmer, Jiang Mo turned to Bai Mushuang and spoke softly:

"How could I possibly shoulder such a great responsibility? Besides, isn't the patriarch's action perhaps inappropriate? And how is Fei-di supposed to cope with this?"

"Don't rush to refuse; you'll understand once you read the preface..."

With her lips slightly pursed, Bai Mushuang didn't explain, but simply unrolled the scroll in her hand, gesturing for Jiang Mo to see it for himself.

Ah, I see.

No wonder, no wonder Bai Yifei turned out the way she did afterwards...

With Jiang Mo's current level of martial arts expertise, even a fleeting glance was enough for him to grasp the general idea, and he couldn't help but suddenly understand.

They also realized that what Bai Mushuang said was true.

She was indeed thinking of her child from a mother's perspective, and what was presented to Jiang Mo was both a tremendous opportunity and an extremely dangerous situation.

To answer or not to answer.

This is actually not a problem at all.

I've already been forced to read part of "Frosty Mystery God-Slaying Strategy." If I hadn't agreed, I probably would have been silenced on the spot.

Besides, this isn't reality. At worst, I'll just die and be forced to leave the instance. What's the big deal? I have nothing to hold me back, so why would I pass up such a peerless martial art?

I only glanced at the prologue to learn about the precautions to take when practicing this skill.

Jiang Mo had already broadened his horizons, glimpsing a new path of martial arts he had never encountered before, a path completely different from Baiyue witchcraft and the Wind and Moon.

If we can master this technique, this dungeon trip will be worthwhile!

However, despite having so many reasons to support Jiang Mo's immediate decision, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he stared at Bai Mushuang in front of him and asked:

"If I don't agree, are you going to go after that girl Yi Shu, Patriarch?"

Bai Mushuang remained silent, but her attitude was already quite clear.

Why was she keeping such a close eye on Bai Yishu's martial arts progress? It was actually to push her to cultivate this technique, but then Jiang Mo suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He is a more suitable candidate than Bai Yishu.

However, the one who will master this skill in the future will still be Bai Yifei, not Chao Nuyao.

Jiang Mo silently sighed to himself, but didn't reveal anything further, only chuckling lightly:

"Then let's forget about it. White hair and red clothes are not suitable for Yi Shu at all."

Chapter 46 You little brat, you're trying to trick me again.

The Zuo Zhuan states: "In spring, summer, autumn, and winter, people discuss matters during the agricultural off-season."

With autumn fruits plentiful and animals plump and healthy, it's the perfect time for hunting.

For Snowcloth Fortress, located in a harsh and cold region, the autumn hunt is one of the few major events, and its nature is quite similar to military exercises in later generations.

It serves both the purpose of training and rectifying military discipline.

It can also serve as a deterrent to enemy troops on the border.

For the Bai family members, this was also a good opportunity to prove their bravery. Boasting was nothing but empty talk, and martial arts sparring was not a life-or-death battle. Only by personally experiencing the tempering of iron and blood, and piling up the spoils of the hunt in front of them, could they truly prove their strength and power.

Any Bai family member aged 12 or 13 who can prove their exceptional bravery during the autumn harvest can be summoned to join the Snow Robe Fort's army.

If someone is over sixteen and still hasn't been accepted, they will be ineligible for military service.

Even within Snowcloth Fortress, there will be no place to stay; they will be relocated to other cities within the Bai family's fiefdom to begin a new life.

Whether one goes into business or studies medicine, one can perhaps become an extraordinary person.

However, for the Bai family, who established themselves in South Korea through military achievements, no matter how much they achieve in other fields, it is difficult to change the fact that they are marginal figures.

Of all professions, only military merit is noble.

Many people may scoff at this idea, but as long as the Bai family needs to rely on the military to maintain its position in South Korea, this family rule will remain as unshakable as steel.

Therefore, everyone in the Bai family attaches great importance to autumn every year.

This year will be an especially grand event, as three highly anticipated names have appeared on the list of participants for the Autumn Festival:

Bai Mo, Bai Yifei, Bai Yishu.

These three were appearing on Qiu's list for the first time, and the fact that all three appeared together made many people sense something unusual.
