But Chen Mo is different. He is blessed with Dragon Qi and favored by the Heavenly Dao, able to dispel all costs!
"Although this Military Dao inheritance is just a trace left by calamity, far from the origin, if it’s him, perhaps it really is possible..."
Ji Hongxiu looked at him with a complex expression.
Calamity combined with Dragon Qi, one hand poison, the other antidote.
If that day truly comes, wouldn’t I be completely at his mercy, unable to resist?
"Chen Mo, if you break through to the First Grade, what’s the thing you most want to do?" Ji Hongxiu pondered for a moment and asked.
"First Grade?"
Although he found the question a bit odd, Chen Mo still answered without hesitation, "Of course, it’s to engage in Dual Cultivation with the Ultimate Venerable!"
?
Ji Hongxiu was taken aback, her pretty face instantly turning crimson.
"Dual... Dual Cultivation?"
"That’s right."
Chen Mo nodded, his mind filled with the promise the Empress once made...
If he reaches First Grade, he should be able to break through the tempered membrane, right?
At this time, there was a light sound of footsteps from outside. Chen Mo sensed slightly and said, "It’s Zhi’er coming. You should have almost recovered. It’s best to go back... If she sees, I’m afraid it will be hard to explain."
Ji Hongxiu snapped back to reality, shaking her head, "No need to trouble yourself."
"Hmm?"
Before Chen Mo could react, the door was already pushed open, and Ling Ningzhi stepped in with one foot.
"Chen..."
Ji Hongxiu raised her hand and lightly waved. She froze in mid-step, like a sculpture, unable to move, blinking anxiously.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Mo’s brows furrowed, about to question, but his mouth was covered by a soft hand.
Ji Hongxiu leaned close to his ear, her eyes shimmering, and whispered, "Shh, I just sealed her acupoint, but her five senses are still intact, so make sure not to make a sound..."
Chen Mo: (O_o)??
...
...
Demon Suppression Department.
A glow flashed across the corridor, and two figures appeared out of nowhere.
Ling Ningzhi was still somewhat dazed, confused, "Was that just my illusion? It felt like my whole body was sealed, unable to move even a finger, yet my body didn’t feel any different..."
Chen Mo’s mouth tugged slightly, "Perhaps too frequent cultivation has caused a disruption of the energy flow, right?"
"Hmm, that might be possible."
Ling Ningzhi gave him an embarrassed glance and whispered, "It’s all your fault. Cultivating once wasn’t enough; you have to exhaust a person completely..."
Chen Mo chuckled awkwardly, without responding.
Fortunately, Ji Hongxiu didn’t do anything too outrageous, just hugged him closely, or he wouldn’t know how to face Ling Ningzhi.
Of course, her actions were still as generous as ever.
He glanced at the system panel:
[Acquired Divine Skill: Mystic Sect’s Heavenly Gang True Skill·Floating Life Dream.]
Though Ji Hongxiu said it was a thank you for helping her suppress the costs, it still gave him a sense of having sold himself...
