However, before she could kiss Long Ming, the door suddenly opened.
" Sister Meng, Ho-How can you do that!"
Mu Qinglian was flabbergasted when she saw the scene.
" AAAA! How many times I told you not…pounce on the guests like that!"
Mu Qinglian walked forward and dragged Meng Zhi away. Meng Zhi puffed her cheeks as she pouted in a cute way.
" But Qingqing… Long Ming said you guys are just friends. Won't you let me borrow your friend for a night?"
Long Ming was still trying his best to distract himself from looking at the two bonkers Meng Zhi pressing on his chest.
' Borrow for a night? What even in the…'
An idea flashed in Long Ming's eyes as he whispered.
" Well, Sister Meng, Today is certainly not the best day. Why not get onto the bed after we know each other better?"
" But, Big Sister is feeling very lonely tonight."
Meng Zhi sighed. Long Ming chuckled. " Miss Mu and I really have some important work. But to compensate you…"
His voice turned low as there was a tinge of mischief in it. " How about Sister Meng give me some sort of souvenir? Something that is very close and private of Sister Meng?"
Meng Zhi's eyes flashed with a coy light as she got up, but she eventually gave a kiss on Long Ming's cheek.
" Little brother is sure very cheeky."
Long Ming was still stunned as he rubbed his cheek. Did Meng Zhi just kiss him?
' Erm… But it's not…that bad.'
Long Ming mumbled inwardly as he sat up on the bed. Meng Zhi's clothes fluttered as she walked past Mu Qingilan.
" Little Brother, As you requested… I have left a special souvenir for you. Hope you like it."
Meng Zhi winked as she let out a mischievous giggle. Mu QInglian looked at Long Ming and hen, at Meng Zhi. Meng Zhi took the painting of Long Ming as she showed it to Mu Qinglian.
" Well, Little Qingqing, your little man really drew a nice portrait. Make sure to treat him well."
Mu Qinglian was startled when she saw the portrait of Meng Zhi.
" Long Ming… Did he make this portrait?" Mu Qinglian was truly surprised when she saw the painting. For the first time, she saw such a vivid, yet unique way of painting.
Not to mention, the subtle aura and power she was feeling from the painting. Meng Zhi giggled when she saw Ling'er standing outside.
" So, It is you who informed Qingqing, Hmm?" Meng Zhi's eyes narrowed when she saw Ling'er.
" Eeek!"
Ling'er quickly hid as she was very afraid of Meng Zhi. Mu Qinglian sighed. " Sister Meng, Can you not tease Ling'er?"
" Hehe, I just love to play with that little maid."
Meng Zhi pursed her lips as she looked at Ling'er. Holding the painting, She walked away.
" I won't disturb your private time. Hehe, enjoy, Qingqing. As I said, you should also have some fun."
Mu Qinglian blushed as she could clearly understand the meaning of Meng Zhi. Long Ming was still absent-minded from Meng Zhi's light kiss.
Then, he suddenly felt his left pocket was feeling somewhat stuffed. Long Ming was startled as he put his hand in it, taking out a soft piece of cloth.
" This…"
Long Ming finally realized the 'souvenir' of Meng Zhi. It was a lacy, black colored underwear.
" Un…This…"
Long Ming was amazed as he couldn't help but squeeze it instinctively. Mm, The softness of the material… could be improved.
However, he suddenly froze when he felt the gaze of Ling'er and Mu Qinglian. Darting his look back and fro, Long Ming finally realized.
" Wa-Wait! It is not what you think!"
He hurriedly hid it in his pockets. But, It only made the matter worse.
" Pervert…"
Ling'er blushed as she looked away. Mu Qinglian's face twitched as Long Ming could see the visible rage on her face. But she took a deep breath as she calmed down.
" You did… Well today."
Mu Qinglian spoke in a calm voice. " But, You piqued everyone's interest."
Long Ming hurriedly replied. " Well, As long as Miss Mu gives me protection, I will have no worries."
" En…"
Mu Qinglian remained silent for a while as she turned around. " Ling'er, Take Long Ming and come with me. We are going back."
" Yes, Young Lady."
Mu Qinglian hurriedly left. Long Ming saw Ling'er and he couldn't help but ask. " You called Miss Mu to come here and help me?"
Ling'er hurriedly nodded. " Elder Meng is the one in charge of Eternal Spring Tower. She is… very eccentric. I don't like to…mingle with her."
" Uh, Why?"
Ling'er blushed when she heard Long Ming's question. " She… Ugh, She just teases me a bit too much."
Long Ming just gave an 'Oh' and remained silent. " Very well, Lead the way."
" Yes."
Long Ming boarded the flying carriage as they took off. Mu QInglian sat in a corner as she meditated, not talking with Long Ming. However, Long Ming was also distracted.
[ Ding! Host completed Harem King of Nine Realm's quest! Host gained a skill from Harem King of Nine Realms!]
[ Host needs to wait for 6 hours to receive the skill]
' Well, Six hours is nothing at all. After tonight's sleep, I will get the technique tomorrow,' Long Ming thought inwardly.
During the journey, Long Ming sorted out the treasures in his inventory. He realized he still have some good items. He decided to use them the day after.
When they arrived, Ling'er led Long Ming's Mu Qinglian's room. Long Ming's expression turned strange when he saw that.
" Uh… I thought my room was different."
Ling'er coughed lightly. " Uh… Young Lady said that she isn't coming back tonight. So, You can sleep here."
' Uh… Ok."
Long Ming had many questions. But he swallowed them back. Changing his clothes, he fell on the bed. Long Ming rolled as he pressed his face on the pillow.
' Mm, Is this the smell of Mu Qinglian? Kinda…sweet?'
Long Ming took out the underwear of Meng Zhi as he fell into deep thought.
[ Ding! Harem King of Nine Realms suggests you relieve some heat with this perfect material]
' Bah! What a perverted bastard!'
Long Ming snorted when he saw the message.
However, instead of throwing it away, he naturally kept it carefully.
Like…it would be a waste…no?
After that, A thought came to Long Ming's mind. He activated his Heavenly Comprehension Heart and started studying the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.
' This thing is with me from Earth. Sure, practicing this before cultivation will give me a boost, no?'
Long Ming already had several novels to guess this thing. Many protagonists had a useless technique from their planet. However, it becomes a super technique after coming to the Immortal World.
Thanks to the environment of Immortal World and his Heavenly Comprehension Heart, practicing Shadow Dragon Breathing Method has become a piece of cake for him.
He could feel the current of energy in it that is called Internal Energy in the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.
The purpose of this method is to cultivate the mysterious Shadow Dragon energy within the body. The process goes from the inner body to the outer body, from in to out.
Ironically, It is the entirely opposite method of immortal qi cultivation. While the cultivator first absorbs the qi of heaven and earth, this method squeezes body energy first before going outside.
' When you connect all the veins, you will listen to a dragon's roar per circulation. When you hear nine dragons roar, you will finish the first circulation.'
Long Ming mumbled as he sat cross-legged circulating the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.
Long Ming could feel his meridians expanding and contracting as the energy flowing through them. Slowly, the energy gathered in his dantian as he heard a low hum of the dragon.
As time passed, due to his high comprehension of the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method, Long Ming's circulation became faster and faster.
" One dragon…Two dragon…Eight dragon…"
*ROAR ROAR*
Long Ming's eyes opened as he could feel the nine dragon roars from his body. With that, he successfully reached the first stage of the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.
' Nine dragon roars for the first stage. 81 dragon roars for the ninth stage." Long Ming didn't stop as he practiced the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.
If any practitioner from Earth saw Long Ming, They would have died form shock. He was practicing at a terrifying pace. He did a month's practice in a blink of an eye.
After the fifth stage of the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method, His Nether Dragon Internal Energy already reached its maximum. After refining his meridians and blood, he started to focus on tempering his bone
From the fifth stage onwards. He needed to perform several body movements while practicing the breathing method. As he climbed higher stages, the movements became faster and even more complicated.
However, strange enough, Long Ming could perform them without much difficulty.
' Dantian, Meridian, Organs, Blood, Bones, Marrows, Tendons, Flesh, and finally, Skin…'
*ROAR ROAR ROAR ROAR*
Long Ming again sat in a lotus position as he could hear the continuous roarings of dragons from his body. When he heard 81 dragon roars, he felt his body was changing from its basic structure.
However, Long Ming didn't feel it was the end. He didn't know how much time passed. But, he determined to reach an unprecedented height in Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.
His vision darkened as he saw himself in an empty, dark space. Long Ming couldn't see anything in the darkness.
However, he could sense something giant moving. It was a strange feeling, but Long Ming could feel the presence of a gigantic dragon.
Even though he saw nothing, touched nothing, heard nothing, or smelled nothing at all… He knew it was there.
The Great Nether Shadow Dragon!
There wasn't any movement, nor any dragon roar…But Long Ming understood the tenth stage of the Shadow Dragon Breathing Method.
' It is called Aura. It represents…Concealment.'

The morning rose as birds chirped while they flew across the sky. Mu Qinglian returned as she opened the door.
" Are you awake yet?" Mu Qinglian shouted from behind the door. " I have something important to discuss with you."
Mu Qinglian opened the door as she walked inside.
" Good Morning, Miss Mu."
Mu Qinglian heard the familiar voice of Long Ming.
However the moment she heard, she couldn't feel a spine chilling fear as she jumped, brandishing her sword at him.
