The next morning, Ou Yangming opened his door and found Du Gaoge.
Du Gaoge had somewhat become Ou Yangming’s private butler, where he followed the young fellow like a lackey. In particular, the shopkeeper would not let anyone else handle communications with the Yi Pavilion, so he immediately hurried to the courtyard when he heard that Ou Yangming had orders.
Ou Yangming did not hold back at all. He made a list for the shopkeeper to collect some items.
There were several items listed, but most of them were rare ores. If Ou Yangming made such a request when he just left the military camp, he could not have gotten any of the items even if he begged.
Although Du Gaoge looked troubled after he read the list, he did not refuse to help, and he left right away with the list.
The items on the list were beyond an ordinary shopkeeper’s capability but given that Ou Yangming gained a high status, Du Gaoge dared not reject him even if he was hesitant. The only thing he could do was to pass the list to the bosses in the pavilion.
Needless to say, Du Gaoge was confident that everything would be handled smoothly.
Based on the fact that Ou Yangming helped the Yi Pavilion place first at the Myriad Treasure Meet, it was unlikely that the pavilion’s bosses would refuse to help him.
Sure enough, the items were all delivered to Ou Yangming not long after the list was handed in.
Nonetheless, Du Gaoge found it strange and unbelievable that the young pavilion master delivered the materials herself.
If Ou Yangming had to choose someone that he wanted to meet the most and someone that he did not want to see the most at the moment, they would both be Bai Shixue.
Therefore, the young fellow had an odd look on his face when he saw the little witch.
Bai Shixue had an exquisite heart, hence she instantly noticed that Ou Yangming was hesitant. Her eyes glowed a little, but she found it weird.
“Ou Yangming treated me like a femme fatale last night, so why has he changed all of a sudden?’ The young lady could accurately grasp one’s feelings, so she could tell that Ou Yangming was feeling uncertain. “Brother Ou, I brought everything you requested.” Bai Shixue smiled brightly, causing the flowers around them to be outshone.
Ou Yangming’s heart pounded as he was nervous, but he swiftly made his decision.
Since he decided to utilize the Body of Charm, he could not work behind closed doors; it would help if he experienced Bai Shixue’s distinctive charm in detail.
With that, Ou Yangming nodded and relaxed as he sensed Bai Shixue’s vague and mysterious aura while he inspected the ores.
After a brief moment, he picked up a faint fragrance, then he sensed a warm and graceful figure approaching him. The young fellow’s heart skipped a beat, but he calmly looked up.
Bai Shixue had unknowingly walked to Ou Yangming’s side, but instead of looking at him, she noted pretentiously, “Master Ou, you asked for these items in such a hurry, so I couldn’t find all of them even after I searched from our inventories in the capital. I only managed to gather them by temporarily borrowing some from the other merchants!”
Ou Yangming nodded and could not help but take a deep breath. He was puzzled.
He had seen Bai Shixue many times and had spoken to her across a table several times, but he never noticed… The pleasant scent from her body.
The scent was neither refreshing nor rich, but it was unusually enjoyable to smell.
Ou Yangming was struck with a thought, ‘If I incorporate the scent in my spiritual system, can I be more powerful?’
Bai Shixue noticed Ou Yangming’s actions, thus she glanced at the young fellow coquettishly. “Brother Ou, are you listening to me?”
“Ah, I’m listening, I’m listening…” Ou Yangming tensed up a little and quickly responded. Later on, he raised a question after some thought, “Young Pavilion Master, you smell different today…”
Bai Shixue blushed, but she looked around and asked with a smile, “Oh? Did you smell me in the past? How differently do I smell now?”
Ou Yangming twitched his eyes and thought, ‘This little witch is too open-minded; it’s unbearable.’
Just as he was going to answer the young lady, he was moved. He stared at Bai Shixue’s hand without saying a word.
“Brother Ou, are you okay?” Bai Shixue looked concerned.
“Young Pavilion Master, what’s that?” Ou Yangming asked coldly, then he reached out abruptly to grab Bai Shixue’s wrist.
Nevertheless, Bai Shixue seemed to be well-prepared, so she dodged and put her wrist behind her back.
Even so, Ou Yangming beat her to it and tapped the young lady’s wrist as soon as she began to sway her body. The young fellow did not exert much power, but Bai Shixue exclaimed, and a tiny rock fell when she shook her wrist.
Bai Shixue reacted fast by kicking the stone with the tip of her foot, but a sturdy leg intervened out of nowhere, where Ou Yangming hit the stone with his knee. Consequently, the stone flew up and landed in the young fellow’s hand.
The young lady’s elegant foot paused in mid-air, then she kicked Ou Yangming’s leg hard.
Who knew, Ou Yangming did not shake at all, whereas Bai Shixue staggered and almost fell.
Ou Yangming was reluctant for a moment. He decided to pull her in the end, but he flew backward at once to stay away from her.
Bai Shixue bit her lower lip, making her look pitiful and enchanting as though she was awfully wronged. “Brother Ou, what are you doing?”
Ou Yangming chuckled and turned his wrist to reveal the small stone. “Young Pavilion Master, what’s this?”
“I have no idea either; I only kept it with me because it’s small and cute. You can have it if you like it, but…” Bai Shixue blinked her beautiful eyes and beamed all of a sudden, “I usually keep it close to me!”
The young fellow’s face darkened. ‘I’ve already tied this little witch’s hand and feet, but she refuses to admit it.’
Afterward, he was stunned when he inhaled deeply because he realized that the pleasant smell disappeared. He curbed his thought and asked, “Young Pavilion Master, this is a Recording Stone. Didn’t you previously leave one for me?”
“Ah, Brother Ou, I was frightened earlier, so I forgot about it.” Bai Shixue acted as if she was in distress.
‘At the end of the day, she’s blaming me?’ Ou Yangming was furious.
Seeing as Ou Yangming looked hostile, Bai Shixue blurted, “Ah! I remember! You were asking why I smell different, right?”
Ou Yangming was dumbfounded for a while, but he nodded. “Yes.”
He could not ask a fair lady that question, or he would be treated as a playboy. However, the young fellow was too obsessed with the Spiritual Fist, and he was determined to get to the bottom of anything that could improve the fist technique’s power.
Without such a strong curiosity and the capability to act, Ou Yangming could not have achieved what he did so far.
Bai Shixue flushed because it was only normal for a lady to feel shy when one touched on this topic. On the other hand, while Ou Yangming was moved, he seriously doubted if the young lady was faking her expression…
The little witch had evidently left a deep negative impression on him.
“Brother Ou, I suppose you know I have a unique physique?”
“Master Jin told me about it.” Ou Yangming nodded.
Bai Shixue sighed. “There’s something wonderful about it; my body will naturally release a scent, but it can only be picked up if one is within a step from me.”
Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and thought, ‘I didn’t know the Body of Charm has this special feature.’
Following that, he took a step toward Bai Shixue.
Sure enough, he could smell the pleasing scent when she was within a step from him again.
He had a strong feeling where he did not want to leave Bai Shixue’s side as though his desires could be fulfilled by the scent.
That said, Ou Yangming was Ou Yangming; his mental power and willpower were unmatched.
Even when he was attracted by the unbelievable scent, his mental conception could keep him alert.
Ou Yangming gritted his teeth, but just as he was about to leave, the purple light ring in his mind spread without warning.
He became acute as he approached happiness, by which he suddenly reached out with a flickering fire in his palm to touch Bai Shixue’s body.
Bai Shixue was taken aback, but she closed her eyes after some thought. On top of that, she stuck out her perky breasts half-intentionally.
Ou Yangming’s heart rate doubled at that moment. Given that Bai Shixue was simply allowing him to do anything he wished, not to mention a teen like him, even the eunuchs in the palace might not necessarily be able to keep their hands to themselves.
Once the Body of Charm was fully unveiled, it was unimaginably attractive.
Having said that, Ou Yangming only shook his wrist a bit and forced himself to curb his thought. Subsequently, he brushed his hand past… The surface of Bai Shixue’s body, where he speedily “touched” her at a distance away from head to toe.
Bai Shixue’s graceful body quivered, and she let out soul-stirring moans.
Ou Yangming had goosebumps when he heard those voices.
He stomped his feet and stayed away from Bai Shixue at the speed of light.
Next, he ran back to store everything in his interspatial bag, then he rushed off and was nowhere to be found.
Bai Shixue’s face reddened, making her look beautiful and alluring at the same time. She stared madly in the direction where Ou Yangming left, then a complicated look was seen in her eyes.
