In the ancient attire that brings out the beauty of men, there lay a man on the bed, a beauty Jojo Lowell had never encountered before. His sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, the clich茅d descriptions from novels, fit him perfectly.
His chest, with just the right amount of muscle, and abs, block by block distinct, along with the mermaid line that gradually disappeared beneath his thin pants, made her involuntarily swallow her saliva.
The mans gaze was like an ice pick, whooshing towards her.
Jojo looked at his flushed face, his body tied up yet precisely avoiding vital spots, and dared not let her gaze drop further.
She quickly pulled up the red curtain and turned to ask, "Is this the grand gift you spoke of?!"
If youre going to undress, do it properly!
Why leave a pair of pants on?
Wheres the trust between people!
Lynn Qiu, the first elder of the Harmony Sect, peeked into the red curtain: "Is the Venerable Ancestor dissatisfied because hes not stripped clean? Then youve misunderstood us; a gift must be unwrapped with ones own hands to be enjoyable!"
The other three elders nodded in agreement: "Exactly, exactly."
Jojo: ...
It seemed to hit the nail on the head, yet it didnt seem to address the point at all!
She took a deep breath and banished the tantalizing scene from her mind, "What I mean is, why is he tied up..."
"It has to be done!"
Lynn Qiu sighed, "This persons cultivation far exceeds ours. Even though his elemental power was severely damaged after his calamity, it took us great effort to subdue him! If we didnt tie him up, what if he ran away?"
The third elder nodded, "Exactly, exactly!"
Jojo: ...
She tried to reason with them using a normal persons mindset: "What I mean is, tying up like this..."
"Is the Venerable Ancestor worried its inconvenient to enjoy when tied up?"
Lynn Qiu laughed, "The Venerable Ancestor can rest assured. You just need to untie the knot on his chest, and it will all come undone. We know the art of rope bondage; its quite fun!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
"What exactly?!"
Jojo could endure no more: "What I mean is, why would you tie up a man as a gift for me?! This is not right!"
Hearing this, Lynn Qiu and the other three elders looked bewildered.
The second elder, Joe, spoke up: "The Tianjiao competition is imminent. You said you want to defeat the top of the Tianjiao list, Cyrus Mo, to win the championship and revive the Harmony Sect. Today is also your birthday; what could be more appropriate than tying up a man with high cultivation as a grand gift?"
The third elder, Howard Fei, and the fourth elder, Casey Wen, nodded in unison: "Exactly, exactly."
Lynn Qiu lamented beside her: "Venerable Ancestor, have you forgotten our founding practice? We are the Harmony Sect!"
Jojo: ...
Looking at it this way, it seemed she was the one in the wrong?
Jojo stroked her forehead: "Naturally, I havent forgotten, but even with dual cultivation methods, it must be consensual."
"This is a different time."
Lynn Qiu sighed, "Right now, our Harmony Sect has lost all its disciples, leaving only us few. As long as we can revive the sect, dont say tying up one, wed be willing to tie up ten!"
She even wanted to tie up ten?!
Joe Yunping earnestly advised: "Venerable Ancestor, this mans appearance and cultivation are both exceptional; he is the most suitable to be your first dual cultivation partner. You must not let our painstaking efforts go to waste!"
"I know, I know."
Jojos head ached unbearably, and she waved her hand: "You all leave, I will enjoy it properly!"
Lynn Qiu and the others immediately beamed with joy, lit the big red wedding candles they had prepared at some point, and left happily.
Jojo took a deep breath and pulled open the red curtain again.
The man was still as before, with a lock of black hair falling on his forehead, his handsome face flushed, but his gaze was as cold as an ice pick.
Jojo reached for the knot on his chest, apologetically saying: "Im sorry, the Harmony Sect has fallen so much that there are no disciples left; they are too anxious and have taken a foolish move. You, as an adult, dont mind the mistakes of the little ones, just let this incident pass, okay?"
The man immediately got up from the bed, untied the ropes, and threw them aside.
Judging from his action of throwing the ropes, he was obviously very angry.
Jojo handed over the clothes on the side with both hands in a very servile manner.
The man glanced at her coldly and took the clothes.
Watching him put on the clothes piece by piece, Jojo felt a bit regretful in her heart; she had only seen such a good figure for a short while!
The man dressed, stretched out his hand to her: "The antidote!"
Jojo shook her head: "No."
The man obviously didnt believe it: "No?"
"Really no."
Jojo looked at him innocently: "We are the Harmony Sect!"
Do you still need an antidote in this situation?
Dual cultivation is the best antidote!
The man obviously thought of this point too, and his face immediately darkened.
Jojo looked at his expression and said cautiously: "Uh... you should have taken the Spring Wind Three Days, a drug that cannot be expelled with spiritual power..."
Seeing his increasingly cold gaze, she quickly said: "But you dont have to worry, this medicine doesnt hurt the body, its just for fun; you just need to endure for three days!"
Endure for three days...
The mans forehead veins were pumping, and a long sword appeared in his hand.
Jojo was startled and dodged behind the table, about to plead for mercy, but saw him spit out a mouthful of blood.
Jojo had an idea and said: "The so-called enemies are better solved than tied, and since you are injured now, you might as well heal here and leave when you are better! I swear, I have no ulterior motives towards you! Even if you cant help it, I also..."
"Shut up!"
The man shouted coldly, pointing the long sword at her.
Jojo meekly shut her mouth, the man looked at her coldly, his chest heaving, and after a while, he put away his sword and said coldly: "Youd better not have ulterior motives!"
Jojo patted her chest and promised: "Dont worry! I will stay far away from you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lynn Qius shout suddenly sounded outside: "Venerable Ancestor, is it your first time, do you not know how to do it?"
Jojos hand trembled, and she said irritably without turning her head: "I know!"
Lynn Qiu and the others obviously didnt believe it, and the elder Joe Yunping shouted: "Then why is there no sound after a long time?"
Jojo: ...
What kind of sound do they want?
Jojo glanced at the man, hummed awkwardly.
Her performance was obviously not very professional, and the second elder Howard Fei immediately said: "It seems that the Venerable Ancestor really doesnt know what to do, how about we go in and give some advice!"
Come in and advise?
Advise what?!
Jojo got anxious: "No! I can, I can! I can do it very well!"
She didnt
