Chapter 876: Mei Ji's Request
Although he had seen Mei Ji before,
when Xu Nian saw her again, he was still momentarily dazed.
This Innate Seductive Body was truly terrifying.
At the moment he saw Mei Ji, Xu Nian clearly felt a surge of wicked fire within him.
If he hadn't forcibly suppressed it with the Xuan Ice Power of the Ice Frost Giant Dragon, he might not have been able to withstand this seductive power.
Xu Nian quickly calmed himself, which caused Mei Ji to be somewhat surprised.
One must know that even men in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage would be enchanted by her at first sight.
Yet this young lad in front of her could regain his clarity so swiftly, which was very rare.
Moreover, his cultivation level...
Oh, his cultivation!
Mei Ji noticed the change in Xu Nian's cultivation level, showing a look of surprise on her face.
"Congratulations, Mr. Xu. Both your Spirit Cultivation and Body Cultivation have risen three ranks. I suppose you've taken the Heaven Stealing Pill and Jade Dew!" Mei Ji said with a charming smile.
Her every smile carried a seductive grace, making people unable to resist.
"Ahem, yes, I took the two great spiritual medicines and had a breakthrough in my cultivation. May I know why Miss Mei Ji has graced this humble abode with her presence?" Xu Nian cleared his throat and asked.
This Mei Ji held a high status in the Tianbao Pavilion, far above that of Manager Liu.
Now she took the initiative to seek him out, which indeed surprised Xu Nian.
As for taking the spiritual medicines, there was no need to hide it.
He guessed Mei Ji was well aware of the auction at the Tianbao Pavilion.
Mei Ji heard Xu Nian's words, and the surprise on her face did not decrease but intensified.
She knew very well the power of the Heaven Stealing Pill and Jade Dew.
Even she would need several months to absorb the power of these two great spiritual medicines.
Yet the young man in front of her had absorbed both within just three days.
This indicated just how domineering his cultivation technique was.
"I have two matters for which I am here today. The first is to deliver an item entrusted to me by someone. Mr. Xu, you should be acquainted with Wind Wheel. This is the Divine Power Pearl he asked our Tianbao Pavilion to give you!" Mei Ji said.
As she finished speaking, a wooden box appeared in her hand.
Xu Nian took the box and opened it, finding a crystal-clear pearl the size of a cat's eye inside.
The power emanating from the pearl was incredibly strong.
Xu Nian frowned slightly.
Why did Wind Wheel not deliver the Divine Power Pearl to him in person but instead entrusted it to the Tianbao Pavilion?
Could it be that something had happened to Wind Wheel?
Xu Nian recalled Wind Wheel previously mentioning that he was being hunted by the Tiansheng Sect.
Could it be that he encountered some danger?
"Miss Mei Ji, do you know where Wind Wheel is now?" Xu Nian continued to ask.
"I don't know. After entrusting the item to our Tianbao Pavilion, Young Master Wind Wheel left, and we haven't had any further information." Mei Ji replied with a smile.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Nian decided not to dwell on it.
If Wind Wheel left on his own, he must have his reasons.
Speculating further wouldn't do any good.
"So what is the second matter Miss Mei Ji mentioned?" Xu Nian asked, looking at her again.
He could sense that the second matter was the real reason Mei Ji had come to see him.
After all, anyone from the Tianbao Pavilion could deliver the Divine Power Pearl; there was no need for her to come personally.
"The second matter is a personal one. I have a request for you, Mr. Xu," Mei Ji said with a soft smile. Her tone was now even gentler than before.
Just this sweet and soft voice made the wicked fire within Xu Nian surge once more.
Xu Nian bitterly smiled in his heart.
The woman in front of him was truly a demoness.
Her Innate Seductive Body would even surpass the legendary Nine-tailed Fox of the Demon Clan.
"Miss Mei Ji, you must be joking. You are a master in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and hold a supreme position in the Tianbao Pavilion. What could you possibly need my help with?" Xu Nian asked with a dry smile.
Mei Ji chuckled seductively upon hearing his words.
Her eyes were as soft as water, making one's heart tremble.
"Only you, Mr. Xu, can help me with this. Truth be told, I was born with a body that can seduce any man, leaving them powerless before me," Mei Ji said.
There was no trace of pride in her eyes, only a hint of melancholy.
Xu Nian didn't speak; he already knew this.
What truly concerned him was what Mei Ji was about to say next,
because that was her real purpose for coming today.
"Innate Seductive Body is beneficial as it rapidly increases my cultivation, but it has also sown a huge hidden danger within me as my power grew," Mei Ji said.
"Hidden danger? What kind of hidden danger?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
"Mr. Xu, why don't you take a look for yourself?" Mei Ji extended a hand.
Xu Nian understood her meaning and placed his fingers on her pulse.
Then he began to investigate.
The next moment, Xu Nian's expression changed dramatically.
"This is..." Xu Nian looked at Mei Ji in astonishment.
There was a vast and strange power within Mei Ji's body.
This power was hidden deep in her bloodline yet did not belong to her.
Xu Nian knew that it was the seductive power generated by her Innate Seductive Body, combined with her True Essence.
This power was concentrated in Mei Ji's body.
Now, Mei Ji could only use her True Essence to suppress it.
If she ever failed to suppress it, this power would explode.
Mei Ji would be burned to death by this power.
"Indeed, having an Innate Charm Body isn't easy. This woman has not coupled with any man, causing the seductive power within her to lack proper release, leading to the current situation," the voice of Wentian Demon Sovereign echoed in Xu Nian's mind.
"Then how can it be resolved?" Xu Nian asked the Wentian Demon Sovereign through his thoughts.
"There is only one solution: Dual Cultivation. Only through Dual Cultivation with a man can this power be released. However, not just any man will do; he must have a powerful bloodline. In this regard, you are just the right person," the Wentian Demon Sovereign said with a wicked smile.
Xu Nian was speechless.
Could it be that Mei Ji found him to engage in Dual Cultivation?
But thinking about it again, Xu Nian felt it was unlikely.
If Mei Ji really wanted Dual Cultivation, why would she wait until now?
"I wonder why Miss Mei Ji approached me. I am not an alchemist, and I cannot resolve this strange power within you!" Xu Nian said, though his eyes showed a hint of unease.
Mei Ji seemed to see through Xu Nian's thoughts and smiled gently, "Mr. Xu, you already know. The strange power within me can only be eradicated through Dual Cultivation with a man."
Xu Nian was stunned upon hearing those words.
Could it be that Mei Ji truly wanted to engage in Dual Cultivation with him?
And if that were the case, should he refuse?
"Mr. Xu, don't overthink. I came here because I have learned that there is a powerful substance within a part of the Cosmic Void in the Taiheng Star System that can eradicate this power. So I would like to ask you to accompany me," Mei Ji said.
Hearing this, Xu Nian let out a sigh of relief.
So that was the reason. Thankfully, it wasn't about Dual Cultivation!
