359: Chapter 359 The Library

What Su Chen did not expect was this.

The spirit liquid in this pool was as boiling hot as magma.

The terrifying high temperature ignited the restless True Dragon blood qi within Su Chen's body.

Making the blood in his entire body feel like it was about to boil.

Because the pool water was scalding hot.

And Zhuge Jinyu, who was holding him tightly, had a body that felt cool to the touch, perhaps due to the cultivation technique she practiced.

Under these circumstances.

Su Chen completely lost the ability to think.

He could only rely on his instinct for survival.

Pressing himself without a gap against Zhuge Jinyu's cool, tall, and curvaceous embrace.

He buried his face in the crook of her neck, greedily absorbing the fragrance emanating from her body.

Feeling the scorching body temperature of the young man in her arms, as well as his powerful heartbeat.

A trace of intoxication flashed in the depths of Zhuge Jinyu's eyes.

"You rascal... Sir, tell me, is this how a child is supposed to...?"

"Damn it, this time I am the teacher; I cannot let him break my defenses on the first try..."

Enduring the heat rising in her heart.

When Su Chen was dazed by the torment of the Dragon Qi and the high temperature, his entire body flushed red.

Zhuge Jinyu lowered her head slightly, looking at that handsome and extraordinary face so close to her own.

Her rosy lips brushed against Su Chen's earlobe, her breath fragrant like orchids.

Her voice carried a resentment and flirtatiousness that made one's bones go numb.

"Sir was a master of strategy in your past life, calculating the hearts of everyone in the world..."

"Why is it that in this life, in this scalding pool water, in Xiao Yu's arms..."

"You don't even have the courage to lift your head and look at me?"

(Use your imagination; there's no smut. You know why; I'm afraid the book will get taken down.)

Just like that.

In this heavily guarded Prime Minister's residence of the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty, Su Chen began a delightful life that others wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Every morning, before the dawn broke.

The civil and military officials of Great Qian would be braving the cold wind, waiting bitterly outside the palace gates for the morning court session.

Although everyone was a cultivator and being slightly frozen could be considered good for strengthening the body.

However, Zhuge Jinyu, who used to be the first to attend court punctually at seven o'clock, was now dragging her feet, as if she had lost interest in the morning court...

This inevitably made the civil and military officials suspicious.

But what they definitely couldn't guess was this.

Inside the Jingxin Pavilion deep within the Prime Minister's residence, there was a scene of amorous splendor.

Zhuge Jinyu had not yet put on her dignified and heavy Prime Minister's court robes.

She was only wearing a loose and soft white silk loungewear.

She would arrive punctually at Su Chen's bedside.

She called it, with a high-sounding name.

"Chen'er, the Dragon Qi within you is wild. The Great Qian royal family possesses a secret 'Great Heavenly Star Foundation Establishment Method.' Teacher must personally lay the foundation for you every morning to stabilize your meridians."

Although the words sounded high-sounding and righteous.

The actual effect, well, did seem to exist.

But the execution left Su Chen, who possessed the mind of an adult, suffering immensely.

This wicked teacher's so-called "laying the foundation."

Was simply using the excuse of guiding spirit power, using her cool and smooth jade hands, which felt like mutton-fat jade.

Along Su Chen's back, chest, and waist.

To trace every inch of his "meridians" all over his body.

Meticulously and repeatedly rubbing them over and over again.

Feeling those cool fingertips teasing his sensitive acupoints, now and then.

And when Zhuge Jinyu leaned in close, that unique fragrance of hers constantly drilled into his nostrils.

Su Chen could only grit his teeth, forcibly suppressing the surging blood qi within this young, prematurely developing body.

If it weren't for Xiao Qing's guarantee, he would have suspected that this Prime Minister Zhuge was an evil cultivator from the Hehuan Sect.

After all, what kind of proper foundation-laying technique would involve touching so meticulously and lingeringly?

This was clearly the Great Qian female Prime Minister satisfying her own ulterior motives while conveniently laying a foundation for him!

And after finishing this heart-pounding "morning lesson."

During the day.

Zhuge Jinyu had to go to the court to guide the fate of the nation.

Su Chen would be arranged to go to the Great Qian imperial capital's highest academy—the "Great Qian Imperial Academy"—for further studies.

Su Chen had no interest in what the teachers at the academy taught.

But he was very interested in the library within the academy, which was said to be the largest in the entire Linghe Realm.

This academy gathered the most top-tier royal relatives and aristocratic geniuses of the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty.

When they saw Su Chen, the one rumored to have been brought back to the residence by the ice-mountain female Prime Minister holding his hand, and even taken as her "closing disciple."

Their eyes were almost spitting out flames of jealousy.

There were countless children of top-tier aristocratic families.

Who had been taught the first sentence by their elders since childhood:

"If you can capture the heart of Prime Minister Zhuge, then you can do as you please throughout the Linghe Realm."

Now that their assumed "greatest goal" had been snatched away by Su Chen, how could these guys not be devastated?

However, regarding these hostile gazes, Su Chen couldn't even be bothered to lift an eyelid.

During class, when those white-haired and white-bearded great scholars were eloquently explaining the most basic formation principles and spirit power operation trajectories on the podium.

Su Chen would always sit by the window, propping his chin with one hand, and dozing off openly.

It couldn't be helped; what they taught was simply too basic and too shallow.

Su Chen, who possessed the True Dragon bloodline and had been taught by three powerful beings since childhood.

Listening to these things was like a university professor listening to kindergarten arithmetic.

He couldn't muster even a shred of interest.

Every time the bell for the end of class rang, Su Chen would ignore the cold sarcasm and ridicule from the surrounding aristocratic disciples, such as "a piece of mud that can't be plastered onto a wall" and "he really is a kept man."

He would trot all the way, skillfully slipping into the ancient library behind the academy.

In Su Chen's eyes.

You can insult me.

But if you don't let me read books, that is going too far.

The Great Qian Imperial Academy's library, known to encompass everything, had nine levels.

Based on the surface cultivation and academic standing Su Chen currently displayed to the outside world, logically, he could only obtain a pass to enter the third level of the library at most.

However, Su Chen was different.

Not only did he have Zhuge Jinyu's approval.

After casually flipping through a few ancient books on Great Qian formations.

His monstrous comprehension quickly discovered a huge bug in the operation of this library's formations!

All the high-level books in this library, to prevent leakage, were made using Great Qian's special formation craftsmanship.

The text on them was not written with ink, but branded onto special jade paper with pure spirit power and divine sense.

Logically, this method of protecting books should be seamless.

But unfortunately.

The unlucky library encountered Su Chen, who was also a bug of an existence.

Thus, a daring plan was born in Su Chen's mind.

He didn't need to borrow books level by level at all.

Although his memories were gone, the Mental Power cultivation he brought from the High Martial World had not been lost.
