The Myriad Stars

Xia Heling pinned the young man in front of her against the wall. The blush on his face almost reached the base of his tender neck.

She looked him up and down with amusement at his flustered state, then gave a teasing laugh.

"Luo Sheng is Master's disciple, and Master is Luo Sheng's elder. There must be order between senior and junior, and men and women must keep their distance. Luo Sheng... Luo Sheng would never dare harbor improper thoughts about Master!"

Hearing her little disciple's well-reasoned defense, Xia Heling couldn't resist teasing him a little more.

"Nonsense." She slowly leaned toward Luo Sheng's ear, her warm breath brushing his sensitive earlobe. "Your master here spent one more year as a 'man' than you did. How could I not know what's on your mind?"

A faint wisp of fragrance breathed out between her glistening, crimson lips and flowed into the white-robed boy's ear. Luo Sheng felt his whole body go limp, as though his soul were floating out of him. His mind went completely blank.

Two hundred and seventy years earlier.

Back then, Xia Heling, or rather Xia Heling, was still a reserved, taciturn fifteen-year-old boy. As the eldest legitimate grandson of the Blazing Sun Xia family, he was nevertheless born with the "Chill Meridian Veins." Not only could he not practice his family's pure yang techniques, he could barely even draw qi into his body. His childhood ended when he was seven, and the eight years that followed were filled with despair.

A distant resonance from the depths of the Great Void allowed him, in a mysterious moment, to glimpse the long-lost ancient Daoist scripture, The True Explanation of the Myriad Forms and Starry Constellations. Yet this was no gift from heaven, but the beginning of an involuntary transformation into the Dao.
