Chapter 238: , Little Sis, I'm Not Cold-Blooded!

The princess said to that boy, "You recite that secret like a heavenly script; hearing it makes one feel disgusted and annoyed. However, if that secret could also turn us into butterflies, even better into a green ox, so we could swiftly escape this Ghost Island, then go ahead and recite it."

The boy said, "If you don't mind the annoyance, I'll recite it again. But let me calm down first. Rid my heart of distracting thoughts and impurities, entering a certain state."

"Entering a certain state? What kind of state is that?" the princess asked the boy curiously.

"No, Little Sis, I am not cold-blooded. The stillness my master spoke of—look at the world with a cold eye facing the sun. With a tranquil, ordinary heart, calmly observe the changes of the world, the vicissitudes of human life. Use stillness to control movement."

"Oh dear, what movement, what stillness— the more you say, the more confused I get."

The princess grew a little impatient.

"Your impatience will affect the efficacy of my secret; please be still and pure…… I will teach you a minor secret my master used in training, and you will be able to calm down immediately……………"
