204: Chapter 204: Overwhelming the Peak Master

He looked at Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou, both of whom wore speechless expressions.

They had also discovered the situation outside the Immortal Cave.

Of course, they also knew why the five women had not come in; they were definitely afraid of seeing them in such an awkward state.

The two women exchanged glances with mischievous looks on their Faces. They simply refused to go out and wanted to see just how long these five women could wait.

On Xiao Yuan's end, he naturally guessed that the five women had arrived and why they were not coming in.

He felt rather anxious inside.

Those five women represented five female Nascent Soul cultivators. If all five of them joined together, it would be enough to activate his Witch Clan Bloodline to 100%.

Time waits for no man!

Looking at the playful expressions of Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou, he couldn't help feeling a headache coming on.

"Shall I let them in?" Xiao Yuan asked tentatively.

He had no choice but to speak up and break the silence!

Leng Youyue let out a cold snort. "As you wish."

Lin Zhirou also rolled her eyes. "Anyway, we can't stop them."

Hearing this, although Xiao Yuan felt awkward on his Face, he knew the two women had not refused. He gave a dry cough, walked to the entrance of the Immortal Cave, and shouted outside, "Peak Masters, please come in."

The five women exchanged glances, a flash of hesitation in their eyes, but they obviously knew that Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou were probably doing this on purpose.

Thinking of this, their gazes instantly turned firm. They stood up together, tidied their clothes, and filed in one after another.

Inside the Immortal Cave, five graceful figures instantly appeared.

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu walked at the very front, her white robes fluttering, as cold and aloof as a sword.

Peak Master Mu Xuelan followed closely behind, gentle and calm.

Peak Master Tang Huor carelessly sized up the Immortal Cave, clicking her tongue in wonder.

Peak Master Bai Suxin lowered her head, her earlobes slightly red.

Peak Master Gu Hanshuang wore a blank expression, but her footsteps were a bit faster than usual.

After the five women entered, their gazes swept over Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou.

Those flushed cheeks, the alluring charm that was a bit brighter than before, and that lazy yet satisfied expression...

Although the several Peak Masters had never experienced worldly affairs, having lived for so many years, they weren't foolish; a brief thought made it all clear!

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu looked away, her expression as usual.

Peak Master Mu Xuelan lowered her head, her earlobes slightly red.

Peak Master Bai Suxin lowered her eyelids, her fingers twisting the corner of her clothes.

Peak Master Gu Hanshuang wore a blank expression, but her gaze flickered away.

Peak Master Tang Huor was rather unconstrained, looking Leng Youyue up and down a few times with a flash of understanding in her eyes.

Surrounded by seven beauties, Xiao Yuan felt his scalp tingle.

He looked at the five Peak Masters, then at Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou leaning against the wall, and gave a dry cough. "Um... Peak Masters, you..."

"Cut the crap." Peak Master Tang Huor waved her hand and said carelessly, "Hand over the Cultivation Technique."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan was slightly startled, and a playful smirk then curled the corners of his lips.

He looked at her and didn't move.

These women had come to beg him, even though he indeed needed female Nascent Soul cultivators to activate his Bloodline.

But the problem was that Peak Master Tang Huor's domineering tone, mixed with a hint of displeasure, made him very unhappy!

Even if the other party was a Golden Core powerhouse at the Peak Master level, so what?!

Peak Master Tang Huor raised an eyebrow. "What? Reluctant?"

Xiao Yuan smiled. That smile was neither cold nor warm, but it inexplicably made Peak Master Tang Huor's heart skip a beat.

"Peak Master Tang," he slowly spoke, "are you ordering me?"

Peak Master Tang Huor was stunned. "I..."

At the same time, a sense of awkwardness and embarrassment surged in her heart.

She knew that her attitude had probably displeased Xiao Yuan!

"The several of you coming to my place," Xiao Yuan interrupted her, his gaze sweeping across the four women, "should be because you believe that I can help you achieve a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul!?"

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu took a deep breath and nodded with a complex look in her eyes. "Yes."

"Then let me ask," Xiao Yuan leaned against the back of his chair and crossed his arms, "did you come to beg me for help, or did you come to issue commands?"

The Immortal Cave fell silent for a moment.

Peak Master Tang Huor's Face flushed red, and she opened her mouth, only to find that she had nothing to say.

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu slightly frowned, Peak Master Mu Xuelan lowered her head, Peak Master Bai Suxin bit her lip, and Peak Master Gu Hanshuang wore a blank expression, but her fingers tightened slightly.

Only then did they realize that from the very beginning, they had acted high and mighty, clearly not taking Xiao Yuan seriously at all.

But now, they were the ones coming to ask for a favor, and Xiao Yuan didn't seem to owe them anything?!

For the sake of their own Face, they refused to lower their stance—why on earth should someone else accommodate them?!

Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou exchanged glances, both seeing smiles in each other's eyes.

There was also an indescribable sweetness.

Compared to how he treated the five women before them, their own Junior Nephew had already been tolerant enough toward them.

Take just now, for instance; because of jealousy, they had given Xiao Yuan a hard time with their expressions.

However, their own Junior Nephew had been very accommodating to them, not treating them with the attitude he now showed the five women.

A trace of guilt flashed in the depths of the two women's eyes!

Their gazes also became noticeably firmer, and the way they looked at Xiao Yuan carried a hint of affection that even they themselves hadn't noticed.

Xiao Yuan stood up, walked up to Peak Master Tang Huor, and looked down at her from above.

He was a head taller than Peak Master Tang Huor, and when he looked down at her, it carried a certain unquestionable sense of oppression.

"Peak Master Tang, my temper is not good."

If others are polite to me, I am doubly polite.

If others point fingers at me..." He paused, then said indifferently, "I'm sorry, but my humble temple cannot accommodate a great Buddha."

Peak Master Tang Huor felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze and instinctively took half a step back.

Xiao Yuan continued, "You want to achieve a Breakthrough to Nascent Soul, and I have a way.

But this is not me owing you; it is you owing me.

When asking someone for a favor, you must have the attitude of someone asking for a favor.

If you feel you can't lower your Face, the door is over there. I won't see you out."

He pointed toward the entrance of the Immortal Cave, turned around and walked back to his seat, sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a slow sip.

The five Peak Masters stood in place, their expressions shifting constantly.

They hadn't expected Xiao Yuan to be so impolite and yet so unyielding.

The five women were absolutely confident in their appearances, but now it seemed that Xiao Yuan was not lusting after their bodies as they had thought!

Thinking of this, they fell silent, flashes of complexity and, even more so, guilt crossing their eyes!

They... seemed to have gone a bit too far...

Peak Master Shen Jingqiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and made a deep bow toward Xiao Yuan.

"Junior Nephew Xiao, it was our lack of manners."

Her voice was cold yet filled with sincerity, "We have come to seek guidance, and we ask Junior Nephew Xiao to impart your wisdom without reservation."

Peak Master Mu Xuelan also stepped forward to salute. "Junior Nephew Xiao, Junior Sister Tang has a hasty temper and her words are unpleasant; please don't take offense."

Peak Master Bai Suxin blushed and gently executed a salute.

Peak Master Gu Hanshuang wore a blank expression, but she also slightly bowed.

Peak Master Tang Huor stood in place, her Face turning red and white alternately.

Watching her four companions all bow their heads, although she still couldn't completely set aside her Face, after all, she was not some arrogant and willful person.

She... also felt that she had gone too far.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, her expression becoming a bit more sincere as she cupped her fists. "It was what I said that didn't sound nice, Junior Nephew Xiao, please don't take it to heart."

Her voice was somewhat stiff, but her attitude had clearly softened.

Seeing this scene from the side, Leng Youyue and Lin Zhirou couldn't help covering their mouths and chuckling softly.
