229 - We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

### Chapter 229: I Truly Have a Fondness for You, Young Master When Si Li's words fell, Xiao Mo was taken aback. He truly hadn't expected someone like Si Li, a candidate for the position of Saint Child, to say such things to him. Meanwhile, Wang Xin lifted her head, her eyes blinking at Xiao Mo, filled with vigilance. Observing Xiao Mo's confused demeanor, Si Li gracefully curtsied, her tone exceedingly sincere: "If Young Master Xiao agrees to cooperate with me, not only will I serve you devotedly, but the entire Wan Hua Peak will look to you as their leader." "Interesting." Xiao Mo chuckled slightly. "But as for becoming the sect leader's wife, that's beyond your reach." Si Li's expression faltered, clearly not anticipating Xiao Mo's abrupt refusal. Gazing directly at Xiao Mo, her smile unwavering, she continued, "Will you not reconsider, Young Master? If you accept my service, the entire Wan Hua Peak will obey your commands. Moreover, you are aware of the 'Sun-Moon Heart Technique' I cultivate, are you not? It's a dual cultivation technique that can lead to immortality. Should we engage in dual cultivation, your cultivation would not only vastly improve, but the experience would be transcendent. Additionally, due to this method, my loyalty would be unparalleled, and I'd never harbor a second thought against you. Furthermore, by dual cultivating with me, your foundation would solidify, and your realm progression would accelerate. Wouldn't it be wonderful for us both to ascend the path together?" "Is what she's saying true?" Xiao Mo inquired of Wang Xin after Si Li finished speaking. "It's all true, she's not deceiving you," Wang Xin nodded earnestly. "Understood." Retracting his gaze, Xiao Mo addressed Si Li coldly. "Even without Wan Hua Peak's backing, I can still attain the position of Master of the Myriad Dao Sect. Without your Sun-Moon Heart Technique, I can still achieve ascension. Should Wan Hua Peak harbor any disloyalty, I can ensure none of you remain." Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Si Li furrowed her brow. Because Xiao Mo wasn't speaking without reason. Given Xiao Mo's current prowess, the position of Saint Child of the Myriad Dao Sect might indeed not be difficult for him. "But you have reminded me," Xiao Mo shifted the topic, "Once in power, I will indeed need someone to manage affairs, as Yun Wei alone can't handle everything." Si Li's eyes sparkled, "So the Young Master means?" "So long as you serve me faithfully then, I won't treat Wan Hua Peak poorly." With that, Xiao Mo turned and walked forward, "Wang Xin, let's go." "Oh, okay," Wang Xin replied, casting a glance at Si Li before quickly following after Xiao Mo. Before long, Si Li caught up to Xiao Mo's other side, her hands gracefully placed in front of her, smiling as she looked at him, showing no sign of giving up. "Do you still have something to say?" Xiao Mo asked. "Are you heading to the Black Dragon Sect, Young Master?" Si Li smiled. "If I am, then what?" "If you'd like, I could accompany you to the Black Dragon Sect and give you a surprise, as a token of my sincerity." Si Li's tone was incredibly soft and sweet, akin to freshly steamed sticky rice cake. "What surprise is she planning for me?" Xiao Mo asked Wang Xin once more. Wang Xin explained, "Rumor has it that there's something amiss within the Black Dragon Sect, with the ancient legendary beast Chaos expected to appear there soon. The Beast Emperor Sect is conspiring against this ancient creature. Though the Black Dragon Sect is strong, the Beast Emperor Sect dares not act rashly, and both sides are planning discussions in a month. If the talks fail, the Beast Emperor Sect might wage war on the Black Dragon Sect." Xiao Mo nodded, "And how is Si Li involved in this?" "The Wan Hua Peak master stumbled upon a Chaos Pearl during an archaeological expedition, perhaps capable of drawing Chaos out." Wang Xin added after eying Si Li. "This Chaos Pearl is extremely rare, an amalgamation of residual chaotic energy that Chaos is fond of consuming. The Chaos Pearl is sealed within a treasure box, which only Si Li can open. Knowing she couldn't claim Chaos and protect it, Si Li decided to offer this to you as a favor. Moreover, it gives her an excuse to be close to you, hoping to win your favor and ultimately..." Before finishing, Wang Xin lowered her head, a faint blush creeping up her cheeks, falling silent. Yet even without her completing the thought, Xiao Mo understood Si Li's intentions. "So this fabled Heart of Seven Orifices truly exists, capable of reading others' minds," Si Li admitted candidly. "Exactly as Wang Xin said, Young Master, please don’t be upset, I truly am fond of you. If you desire me..." Slowly, Si Li allowed her light shawl to slip down, revealing a glimpse of her fair shoulder. "Anything you want, I can offer it to you." "You may accompany me, but if you dare lay a finger on me, you'll be the first I cut down." Without sparing her another glance, Xiao Mo quickened his pace. "Young Master, you're too stingy... Please wait for me..." Si Li, with a swaying gait, chased after him. In the days following, the trio journeyed towards the Black Dragon Sect. Si Li was indeed intrigued by this chief disciple of Ye Xue Peak. Back in the Myriad Dao Sect, she had heard Xiao Mo's name countless times from her senior and junior sisters. Numerous sisters burned with desire to conquer Xiao Mo then and there. Some, unable to gain his favor, resorted to gazing at his portrait in their chambers, secretly indulging their fantasies. Yet, Xiao Mo was impervious, no woman ever succeeding. Especially given his junior sister constantly at his side, warding off other women as if warding off a thief. Now, observing this disciple, the most talented in Myriad Dao Sect's history, Si Li felt a peculiar sense of pride and satisfaction. She was among the rare few to approach him closely. Two days later, Si Li witnessed Xiao Mo's prowess more clearly. The trio encountered an ambush. Cultivators of similar realms couldn't withstand a single strike from Xiao Mo. Even two Jade Void-stage cultivators fell, their souls scattered by his blade. Si Li had seen Xiao Mo in action before. She had kept an eye on him since the Myriad Dao Sect. Yet, in this short duration, how had Xiao Mo's prowess reached another level? She wouldn't be surprised if he broke into the Jade Void stage the very next day. If that truly were the case. A Jade Void cultivator under twenty. That's truly terrifying. Initially, Si Li remained within bounds, refraining from any untoward gestures towards Xiao Mo. But gradually, she began sneaking in little advances. (End of the chapter)
