These Legs Are So Thin, White, Long, and Tender, Can I Touch Them? (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

"What kind of good place?"

Xuanyuan Sheng looked at her, and for some inexplicable reason, the Mimicry Cultivation Ground came to mind, as he truly couldn't think of any place she would take him that he didn't already know about.

Ma Xiaotao stood up and offered a mysterious smile.

Half an hour later.

Xuanyuan Sheng looked at the Mimicry Cultivation Ground before him with a stiff expression; how was it exactly as he had thought? It really was the Mimicry Cultivation Ground.

"What, not happy?" Ma Xiaotao put on her veil, crossed her arms, and teased.

He didn't speak, but the look in Xuanyuan Sheng's eyes was enough to convey his current mood.

His cultivation only required him to bear Humanity's Luck and then allow it to absorb the luck of humanity, but the luck of these people was simply too weak.

What could he even do with that?

Was he supposed to come to this Mimicry Cultivation Ground just to eat air?

He might as well have waited for Zhang Lexuan to return before meditating.

But thinking that both he and Ma Xiaotao would eventually be disciples under Zhang Lexuan, he decided to accept this gesture of goodwill.

"Then, Sister Xiaotao, which attribute and type of cultivation ground do you think I should go to?" Xuanyuan Sheng rubbed his chin in thought, wondering where he should go if he could actually use them.

This was indeed a good question; the cultivation grounds, categorized by elements or those adapted to the shape of one's own martial soul, were incredibly diverse.

"Go to..." Ma Xiaotao knew this was the moment to show off her role as the senior sister, so she feigned deep thought and pondered for a moment.

[Passive quest triggered: A request from a younger brother. Please match a suitable Mimicry Cultivation Ground for the neighbor's younger brother you intend to skip out on.]

[Quest reward: One fragment of a mysterious fire-attribute cultivation technique (collect 10 to synthesize the complete technique).]

[Quest failure: Forced to stand at the entrance of the Mimicry Cultivation Ground lobby and shout loudly, "Zhang Lexuan, your younger brother is very moist."]

Ma Xiaotao hadn't expected that simply wanting to care about her younger brother's cultivation status would trigger another quest, and the reward for this one seemed even better than the one for looking after him.

But whether the suppression of her Evil Fire or this cultivation technique fragment was more important depended on what she needed right now.

"System, what is this cultivation technique? I only know of meditation methods; I've never heard of such a technique. Is it like the secret manuals of the Tang Sect?"

She communicated silently with the system, baring her teeth at Xuanyuan Sheng beside her, signaling that she needed to verify something.

Xuanyuan Sheng was somewhat taken aback by her reaction.

Come on, sister, I was just expressing my thoughts; there's no need to think so seriously about it.

He was just considering all these Mimicry Cultivation Grounds and wondering which type would actually suit him if he could truly use them; a casual discussion between the two of them should have been enough.

But what is this attitude of treating it like a quest?

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's mind was immersed in chatting with the system.

[The essence of both is the same, but the upper and lower limits are worlds apart.]

This half-riddle of a statement left Ma Xiaotao itching for more.

"Don't just say half of it, explain it clearly to me, you jerk."

[It means that the technique you collect will determine your upper limit—that is, your future achievements.]

If one were to compare Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill with this technique, Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill could only be considered a technique to accelerate cultivation on this continent.

But this technique, which she would collect herself, was different.

It was like a key for every level in a fantasy world; once obtained, natural cultivation would allow one to reach the final bottleneck of that technique.

[If you obtain a fire-type technique that only allows cultivation up to the Soul Emperor level, then after practicing it, you can only reach the Soul Emperor level at most.]

[If your luck is extremely good and you obtain a fire-type technique that allows cultivation up to Title Douluo, then I can only congratulate you in advance.]

[Even if you haven't obtained soul rings, you can still choose to cultivate; even if you cultivate directly to the Soul Power Level of a Title Douluo, it would be no problem. The technique will store soul power for you, and when you add your remaining soul rings later, I can only congratulate you, a true Title Douluo.]

Ma Xiaotao was stunned by the system's explanation.

She had never imagined that the key to reaching Title Douluo could be so close to her.

In the academy, everyone at Shrek said her talent would one day surpass Zhang Lexuan's, making her an even more formidable inner court senior sister.

But Ma Xiaotao knew that the path to catching up to Zhang Lexuan was not some small ditch one could easily jump over; it was an abyss, a truly insurmountable existence.

Only the living deserve to be called geniuses.

Dragon God Douluo Mu En was a genius, Xuan Zi was a genius, Yan Shaozhe was a genius, and even Zhang Lexuan, who had yet to become a Title Douluo, was a genius.

And she, Ma Xiaotao, was currently just an ordinary soul master with a bit of talent; whenever she encountered a high-level evil soul master, she would only be waiting for death.

Her future was not just becoming a Title Douluo, but possibly ending up in a tiny urn resting in some corner.

But now, it was different.

Ma Xiaotao looked at Xuanyuan Sheng, who had started to zone out after waiting for so long.

If it weren't for the many people coming and going in the Mimicry Cultivation Ground, she would have loved to take off her veil right now and give his face a fierce peck.

As long as she unlocked all ten fragments, everything that troubled her would no longer be a problem; she would keep cultivating until she became the Sword God of Shili Slope.

As for the punishment for failure?

What kind of thing is that?

Does this system really think that she, Ma Xiaotao, wouldn't be able to complete the mission?

She had intentionally experienced what the punishment was like yesterday, yet this system actually took it seriously and even set up a punishment for failure.

Ma Xiaotao thought arrogantly that she didn't need to know what the punishment for failure was, because she simply wouldn't fail.

Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Sheng sat on a bench with his arms crossed.

He had never been to the Mimicry Cultivation Ground before and had no idea that choosing a suitable environment was such a complicated task.

Ma Xiaotao had been standing there for a long time now, and the students coming and going had made Xuanyuan Sheng feel sleepy.

Suddenly, a pair of long legs appeared right in front of him.

"These legs...?"

These legs looked a little familiar.

"These legs are slender, long, white, and tender. Want to touch them?"

Such a direct remark made Xuanyuan Sheng look up slightly, where he saw that seductive face of Ma Xiaotao.

She leaned against his shoulder, resting those long legs directly across his thighs, and whispered into his ear with a puff of hot air: "What, are you tired of waiting? Have you never accompanied your sister Lexuan to go shopping for clothes?"

Hiss... what a vicious remark. Thinking about it carefully, he really hadn't.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's actions didn't attract anyone to stop and watch, thanks to the cultivation craze in the Outer Courtyard; the people in the hall were all students waiting for a spot in the Mimicry Cultivation Ground.

Even if they saw it, they wouldn't linger for too long.

For now, cultivation was still more appealing than a senior sister.

As for senior sisters, it was better to keep them as far away as possible.
