"What kind of ninjutsu is this? Can you control the mist?" Zhu Juan waved her hand, and the white mist in front of her was like a thick cloud of water vapor being stirred and swirled, but it did not seem to dissipate.

Call ~

Suddenly, the white mist surrounding them expanded outwards from the boulder where the two were sitting, forming a circle about five meters in diameter. The inside was clearly visible, while the outside was surrounded by white mist, like a white dome.

Tantai Ye appeared before him and chuckled, "Your Blood Mist Technique is essentially about controlling the spread and condensation of blood energy. Enemies within it can be precisely captured by you, while also concealing your presence and aura, right?"

Zhu Juan nodded.

"This kind of ninjutsu tends to be concealed, but it requires the activation of blood to perform. As I told you before, the price is too high. If someone takes the opportunity to poison you in your blood mist, you will be the one who gets poisoned when you withdraw the ninjutsu."

"What I'm using now is actually quite similar to your Blood Mist Technique, the difference being that you control blood energy, while I control water energy. And the water content in human blood is over 80%..."

Seeing Zhu Juan's blank look, I knew she hadn't heard what the ingredient content meant.

Instead of explaining the relevant knowledge, Tantai Ye said directly, "In other words, if you can control your blood and qi, you can control your water and qi. The more water there is, or the more humid the air is, the better your ninjutsu will be."

"How am I supposed to control the water vapor? I can't feel it at all!" Zhu Juan asked, puzzled.

"Close your eyes, I'll help you feel it!" Tantai Ye chuckled.

Upon hearing Tantai Ye's words, Zhu Juan immediately closed her eyes.

Just after she closed her eyes, Tantai Ye gently tapped her forehead with one finger.

Zhu Juan was slightly startled.

A moment later, the white mist surrounding them began to stir. The once still mist slowly began to ripple, then began to swirl and eventually flow, even swirling around the two of them.

Tantai Ye withdrew the control from the center, and the white mist surged in the next moment, instantly engulfing the two of them.

The white mist swirled and churned around for a long time. During this time, Tantai Ye sat quietly. None of this was under his control. It was clear that Zhu Juan was practicing the improved ninjutsu, or rather, the new ninjutsu.

The swirling, churning mist only gradually subsided when the sun reached its zenith, then dispersed and disappeared completely.

Zhu Juan slowly opened her eyes.

After exhaling a long breath, she turned to look at Tantai Ye beside her, her eyes filled with admiration and a hint of something inexplicable.

"I've never seen ninjutsu taught like this before. You just taught me your ninjutsu like this!" Zhu Juan said softly.

Tantai Ye shook her head and laughed, "This is not my ninjutsu. It's just an improvement and sublimation of your ninjutsu. I told you! It's not very elegant for a woman to use those kinds of ninjutsu, and its power is not that great either."

"But this is a completely new ninjutsu, and it's different from the ninjutsu I used before."

“There are some differences,” Tantai Ye stroked his chin. “Let’s give it a new name, like Cloud Mist Technique. As for your old ninjutsu, we should avoid using it if possible.”

"You're trying to strip us of the Iga Blood Mist Technique!" Zhu Juan laughed.

"It's not really about deprivation, it's just that your previous methods were too crude. In fact, true blood-related ninjutsu, if properly developed, is extremely powerful," Tantai Ye said.

"Oh? You have other ninjutsu in this area." Zhu Juan moved closer, and her hands even unconsciously gripped Tantai Ye's arms.

Tantai Ye nodded. "I don't have any ninjutsu, but I do have some ideas. Think about it, since you can control your own blood, can't you control other people's? And now that you've mastered water and air control, you should be able to use that method on other people's blood too!"

Zhu Juan tilted her head and thought about it, and it seemed to be true. She excitedly asked, "Then can you teach me again?"

This time, Tantai Ye shook her head.

"Is that not allowed? It seems I was being greedy," Zhu Juan said with an awkward smile. "You've already taught me new ninjutsu; I shouldn't ask for anything more..."

“No,” Tantai Ye raised her hand and patted the hand that was gripping her arm.

“It’s not that I don’t want to teach you, but your cultivation level is too low. All your current cultivation relies on your own power, which is limited. If you want to achieve what I just mentioned, you need to break through your own limitations and enter a higher level.”

"Then how do we break through?" Zhu Juan asked.

Tantai Ye laughed and tapped her forehead with his finger.

"Don't be greedy. Focus on mastering what's in front of you first! The rest will depend on your performance."

Zhu Juan was startled by the sudden intimate gesture, then her face turned as red. When she saw that her hands were still holding the other person's arm, she quickly pulled them back as if she had been burned.

Looking at the gentle and refined woman before him, Tantai Ye smiled knowingly. Her temperament was very similar to that of his wife, Tsukishiro Shino, and even their appearances were similar, exuding a sense of peace and tranquility.

Tantai Ye subconsciously raised her hand and lifted the other person's chin.

The layers of hair hanging down on both sides of her forehead partially obscured her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water, but could not hide the fiery blush on Zhu Juan's face.

With her starry eyes half-open, Zhu Juan looked at the perfectly handsome face before her, as if carved from jade. At that moment, she swore that she truly saw a sky full of starlight and a darkness as deep as the night sky in his dark pupils, and that her entire soul was about to be drawn into them.

Zhu Juan had never felt anything like this before. At that moment, she felt like she couldn't breathe. Her heartbeat felt like it was about to burst through her skin. The intense feeling of suffocation made her dizzy.

Click!

Just then, a soft snapping sound of a branch breaking was heard.

Zhu Juan abruptly turned her head to the side, lowered her head to her chest, and curled up almost into a ball.

"Ha! You really are here!"

With a sound, a figure landed beside the stream.

Tantai Ye lowered her hand and smiled at the person who had come.

"Hmm? Zhu Juan, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"

"Suo, Lord Suonian Gui, what brings you here?" Zhu Juan asked, raising her head slightly.

"Of course I'm calling you back for dinner! You guys are quite the runners, managing to get all the way here. Luckily, someone saw you heading this way... But your face looks suspicious! What happened?" Suonian Gui asked, puzzled. If it weren't for the other person's calm expression, he would have looked like someone who had done something wrong.

"Lord Suonian Gui, please go back first, we're coming right away!" Zhu Juan said.

The cloaked ghost glanced at the two of them before turning around and disappearing into the woods.

=====================================

First, I apologize. I feel like I've missed several chapters this month. Yesterday, I got carried away writing and finished this book, as well as "Apocalypse" and "The Tycoon." By the time I looked up at the time, it was past midnight. I didn't manage my time well. I'll correct this next time.
