Seeing that Li Qingluo was silent and dazed, Murong Fu tore open the silk parcel and unfolded the cloth inside.
On the silk, a few lines of fine script were written:
"Having knelt and kowtowed a thousand times, you shall henceforth be at my beck and call, with no room for regret for the rest of your days... Once you have mastered these arts and descended the mountain, you are to slaughter every disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. If even one remains, my grudge shall haunt you in this life and the next."
These were clearly the words of Li Qiushui, born of love turned to hatred. Murong Fu cared little for such sentiments and continued reading. He found the "Northern Nether Divine Art" and the "Lingbo Weibu" that followed. As for the portraits of the nude woman, Murong Fu studied them with meticulous detail. After all, the woman in the paintings looked exactly like Li Qingluo; how could he not study the images of this "Fairy Sister" with care? The illustrations displayed the woman’s grace from various angles and postures, which could not help but stir Murong Fu’s desires.
