Persuasion

The rain fell, dripping softly.

Dim, gloomy light filtered through the window, casting shadows on the two women's fair, snow-white skin.

Bai Muxi lowered her delicate and charming eyes, her mind racing as she weighed the pros and cons.

However, in just a moment, she realized that there were only two paths in front of her.

We either need to solidify this belief in the saintess, or we need to help her correct it little by little.

After this thought flashed through her mind, Bai Muxi's inner turmoil turned into a soft sigh.

She was completely different from these two women of noble status from the upper realm, because she felt no love for the young master, only awe.

The young master had done her a great favor, and whether she repaid this favor by offering herself to him or by serving him like a slave, it didn't matter to her.

If the young master desires her abilities, then she will provide them.

The young master desires her body, so she will serve him in bed.

In the perilous Underground Palace, there was no concept of chastity as found within the Great Yan Kingdom.

Survival and continuation are the only principles there.

During the period when she ruled the Underground Palace as a priestess, she remained chaste because she was the Simin in the Underground Palace.

Even after she seized power, she remained chaste only because she planned to use it for some kind of deal.

Even though the young master hadn't arrived, she already had some clues about how to get out.

However, if one were to leave, according to ancient records, the men of the upper realm seemed to pity this so-called chastity.

Now that the young master has saved her and the people of the Underground Palace, she is his now.

certainly,

As a normal person who is not quite normal by Earth's standards, it would be a lie to say that Bai Muxi didn't hope to acquire more.

She longed to climb higher and crave more power, for only in this way could she have more leverage within the colossal Prime Minister's Prime Minister's Mansion to secure greater benefits for the people of the Underground Palace.

However, even with her desire, Bai Muxi knew that everything should be done within her means.

As long as Princess Wu Yuan remained in power, she knew very well that she could never compete with her.

If they insist on gaining more, they may very well kill themselves and all the people in the Underground Palace.

Therefore, her best option was not to resort to underhanded tactics, but to quietly stay by the young master's side and try her best to win his favor.

With this thought in mind, Bai Muxi made a decision.

She had to choose the latter.

The young master is very clever, and so are the people around him.

If she chooses the former, success or failure is another matter, but if she is discovered, she will probably suffer the fate of a so-called "poisonous woman in the harem who caused cholera."

After all, her connection with the young master is truly fragile now.

The latter is completely different.

She succeeded, and Tianyan Alliance.

Her failure was exposed, but her sensible nature also won the young master's favor.

Thinking,

A ray of light shone through the window, Bai Muxi smiled, whispering to Tianyan with just the right amount of urgency:

"Young Master did say that, but he has never touched Mu Xi. I suppose it's because of the high regard in which you two, the Holy Maiden and Wu Yuan, hold in his heart."

Tianyan's mood did not improve; instead, he said with a hint of sarcasm:

"Status? He just doesn't have the chance. If you travel alone with him for a while, you can try to see if he'll touch you."

"."

Bai Muxi's expression suddenly froze, and her heartbeat quickened slightly.

Physical connection is a catalyst for fostering affection.

Create an opportunity to be alone with the young master

Before she could ponder this further, Tianyan's gaze swept coldly over her:

"What, Simin Ming, you really want to give it a try?"

"."

Bai Muxi carefully lowered her head:

"Mu Xi had no such intention."

But after a moment's pause, she whispered again:

"Your Holiness, since the young master is of such a temperament, are you confident that you can change him?"

Tianyan was stunned for a moment, then his jade fingers clenched tightly beneath his wide sleeves.

Is she confident?

There's a ghost!

If that bastard could change his nature, she wouldn't have gotten angry so many times in the Bewitching God Illusion Realm!

"It seems that Her Highness is not entirely confident."

Seeing the other person lightly biting their lip, Bai Muxi lowered her eyes and said, "Forgive Mu Xi impertinence, Holy Maiden, since you know that the young master's nature is hard to change, yet you want him to be absolutely loyal, don't you think these two contradictions are irreconcilable?"

Upon Tianyan, Tianyan's eyes instantly turned cold:

"Do you think I'm an idiot for saying that?"

Bai Muxi wasn't surprised that Tianyan could understand the meaning behind her words.

Although this saintess was not good with words and might not be as good as others in arguments and debates, she was extremely intelligent.

"Mu Xi was simply stating a fact."

Bai Muxi slightly raised her eyes, her gentle gaze meeting hers. Her voice was soft and gentle, like a tranquil stream. "If you insist on this, the only result will likely be a falling out with the young master, and then you'll go your separate ways."

"Shut up!"

Tianyan stood up abruptly, as if a sore spot had been touched. "Bai Muxi, I know what you're trying to do. Saying this is nothing more than trying to make Changtian favor you more."

I don't care what you think, but remember, you are you, and I am me. We are different!

Looking up slightly at the petite yet slender girl before him, Bai Muxi hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and whispered:

"Then, Holy Maiden, can you persuade the young master to abandon Wu Yuan?"

Tianyan was taken aback, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said softly:

"As long as he can recall those forgotten memories."

"Stop deceiving yourself."

Bai Muxi's voice rose slightly at just the right moment:

"If you could change your nature so easily, you wouldn't have ignored me just now."

You actually know very well,

Even if the young master recalls that memory,

Even without His Highness Wu Yuan

"You can't change the young master's temperament."

The lower two floors of the Mystic Eagle Pavilion were cramped, with narrow corridors and dim lighting, but they were still fairly clean.

Walking through the dark corridor, Xu Yuan probed his Will Soul into the side room, where he saw more than a dozen maids dressed in various colored bodices resting in the cramped space.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This was Xu Yuan's first time in the area where the servants lived, and it was also the first time he realized that the living quarters of those maids were so simple.

Although the Mystic Eagle Pavilion was large and luxurious, it only had three narrow and cramped side rooms as dormitories for the servants. The rest of the area was used as storage and kitchens to provide services for the master.

Among these three rooms, there is one where the guards who control the formation live.

Seemingly sensing Xu Yuan's surprise, Lou Ji glanced at the room and chuckled lightly:

"Changtian, you seem surprised?"

Xu Yuan withdrew his Will Soul from those pale, white thighs and gently shook his head.

"A little bit, I thought it would be bigger."

The Mystic Yin Pavilion was incredibly luxurious, yet the living conditions for the maids were even worse than the maid's quarters in his previous life.

Lou Ji laughed lightly:

"If you can't bear it, Changtian can favor them all, and then they can naturally move into the upper three floors."

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes at the vixen:

"I'm not interested."

"Eh"

Lou Ji drew out her words slightly, then chuckled, "That's true. With young ladies like Li Qingyan and Tianyan around, Changtian naturally wouldn't look down on these maids."

Xu Yuan didn't want to pay attention to this woman and asked in a low voice:

"Sis, where is that place you're talking about?"

Before he could finish speaking...

Boom!!

A tremendous roar came from above the pavilion, and the entire Mystic Eagle Pavilion trembled.

The sudden turn of events startled Xu Yuan.

He believed it was Tianyan.

Tianyan alone in the room. Before he could coax her, he became angrier and angrier, and then he started tearing the house apart.

After a moment's pause, Xu Yuan looked at Lou Ji to the side.

Lou Ji's long, ink-black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her eyes deep and alluring as she gazed upwards with keen interest.

"Oh, they've started fighting."

Xu Yuan was taken aback by what he heard, and his words were somewhat puzzled:

"Who?"

Lou Ji withdrew her gaze, crossed her arms, and said with a slight smile:

"Oh no, it wasn't a fight, it was a one-sided lesson."

"Changtian, the concubine you took in is currently being trained by the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion ~"

Xu Yuan clicked his tongue, chuckled, and then ignored it.

Seeing his indifferent reaction, Lou Ji followed and asked with slight interest:

Aren't you worried?

"What are you worried about?"

"Those two little girls have already started fighting."

"Didn't you already say that this is a one-sided lesson?"

"But Changtian, aren't you curious about the reason?"

"."

Xu Yuan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked slightly amused:

"What could be the reason? Tianyan wouldn't provoke others so easily. It must be that my Simin is trying to cause trouble. Let him be taught a lesson if he wants."

Lou Ji tilted her head:

"Don't you feel any heartache at all?"

"She always enjoyed it."

"." Lou Ji.

She licked Lou Ji red lips, exuding an alluring charm that could drive anyone wild. She reached out and took his arm, her smile radiant.

"Looks like you guys, Changtian, are quite the ladies' man!"

Xu Yuan felt the warmth and softness from her arm, knowing that his older sister was about to tease him again. He glanced at her:

"You want to cause trouble too?"

"."

Lou Ji was taken aback by his words, then narrowed her phoenix eyes, gently drawing circles on his chest with her fingertips, and chuckled:

"So what if I want to? Changtian, with your cultivation level, can you really make my sister enjoy herself?"

"I possess Innate Dao Body."

Xu Yuan replied indifferently, "In just over a year, I have almost reached the Body Fusion, and I have already mastered the Dao essence. There is no bottleneck in Body Fusion through to the Grandmaster."

As he spoke, a cherry blossom shimmering with a bewitching pink light appeared in his hand.

Looking at the vibrant petals, Lou Ji's sexy, full red lips parted into an "O" shape, with a hint of deliberate surprise:

"The Charm God Dao Rhyme"

After a murmur, Lou Ji tightened her grip, her soft, wicked form being squeezed and deformed:

"It seems you really can make your sister happy in the future, Changtian ~"

"I just wonder... how many years will my sister have to wait?"

Xu Yuan glanced at her:

"Within five years, I will surpass Xu Changge."

"Puff"

Lou Ji couldn't resist.

Xu Yuan's eye twitched.

Clearing her throat lightly, Lou Ji regained her composure and gently patted his head with tenderness.

"Cough, Changtian a genius, I believe in you. However, Xu Changge is no match for you yet, it seems I'll have to wait a while longer."

Xu Yuan snorted coldly, not saying much about the issue, and instead asked:

"Xu Changge is no match for you?"

Lou Ji gave him a charmingly disdainful look:

"How much do you think of your older brother to believe he can defeat me, a sister of a higher level?"

Xu Yuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise:

"Is Xu Changge truly just Origin Beginning?"

"Otherwise what?" Lou Ji said dismissively, "A person at the peak of the Origin Beginning at the age of thirty is unparalleled throughout history."

Xu Yuan explained in a low voice:

"He broke through to the Origin Beginning ten years ago; I thought he was deliberately hiding his strength."

Lou Ji sighed softly upon hearing this.

"The path he cultivates is too difficult; once the path is integrated into his body, it is virtually impossible to release it again."

He paused for a moment,

After a moment's hesitation, Lou Ji said softly, "However, if it comes to a desperate fight, Xu Changge's sword intent might inflict a fatal wound on you, sister."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan was reminded of Xu Changge's ultimate move in "Cangyuan".

That sword strike that reversed cause and effect.

In a regular fight, that arrogant guy would definitely lose to this older sister, but his killer move could potentially take her down in an instant.

After all, there are no health bars in the real world.

Origin Beginning slayed a half-saint.

Well, it seems he still has a long way to go before he can really beat Xu Changge up.

If only he were still Mortal Shedding Strange Ghost.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan suddenly smiled.

Lou Ji thought he was laughing at her, so she pinched his waist hard, slightly annoyed.

"Changtian, what are you laughing at?"

Xu Yuan winced in pain, slapped her hand away with a "smack," and said:

"I have a move that can break Xu Changge's sword intent."

"."

The air was silent for a moment.

Lou Ji leaned against his arm, pursed her red lips, and looked up with her bright phoenix eyes as if she wanted to laugh.

Xu Yuan's fist hardened slightly.

Although his cultivation level was only at the level of a floor tile in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was still considered a genius, and to be honest, no one believed him.

Xu Yuan shook off her arm that was around him and chuckled.

"Hmph, if you don't believe me, fine. You'll find out later."

"."

Lou Ji feigned weakness and took two steps back, her alluring swaying carrying a captivating charm that made people unconsciously want to wield swords and knives for her.

Xu Yuan gave the other person a deep look:

"Stop causing trouble and get down to business."

Having said that,

Before the other person could speak, he turned around and pushed open the wooden door to the storage space at the end of the corridor.

As soon as the wooden door opened, a sharp laugh came from inside:

"Hahahaha!!! Lou Ji, you've finally come again! I've been waiting so bored! Hurry up and continue to torment me!! Lou Ji, is this all the tricks you have as the Black Scale Chief?!"

The frantic voice made Xu Yuan's eardrums ache slightly. After frowning slightly, he also saw the scene inside the warehouse.

It wasn't as bloody as Xu Yuan had imagined.

On the contrary, the warehouse was quiet and elegant, with incense and tea sets.

Of course, besides these, there were also many bottles and jars, as well as some special medicine grinding tools that Xu Yuan couldn't understand.

One can imagine the languid way Lou Ji, this enchanting older sister, leisurely sipped tea while concocting medicine.

However, this tranquility was broken by a woman at the far end of the warehouse.

A woman, barely clothed and with disheveled hair, was firmly secured to a stone bed by several locks. She struggled to lift her head, uttering filthy and vulgar words.

As his Spirit Sight swept over her, Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing her exquisitely beautiful face.

She looked somewhat familiar with this woman.

She also seems to be one of the female protagonists in Cangyuan.

I went to that writers' salon.

Sorry for yesterday
