13: Enchantress Body

Xiao Chen curled his lips inwardly, but he didn't refute him, just listening casually.

After all, as a newcomer, there was no need to get into a verbal spat with a passerby.

Chen Feng continued, "For instance, someone like me, twenty-six years old and already at the Qi Refining Sixth Level, is a standard Outer Sect Disciple."

"Mm-hmm."

Chen Feng turned his head again and glanced at Xiao Chen:

"But as for someone like you, you must be over forty already, right? And only at the Qi Refining Second Level. To be honest, whether you can get Steward Song's approval is a bit touch and go!"

"Not over forty, I'm exactly forty," Xiao Chen emphasized, feeling speechless. He was already old enough, and this guy was adding years to him.

"It's about the same! How many forty-year periods do you think there are in a lifetime, right?"

Xiao Chen nodded, catching the underlying meaning, and said directly, "Brother Chen, if you have something to say, feel free to speak plainly."

"Smart people are easy to talk to! Hehe... I'm just saying, Junior Brother Xiao, with your connection, could you put in a few good words for me in front of Junior Sister Su?"

"Does Senior Brother Chen mean... you're pursuing Senior Sister Su?" Xiao Chen feigned a shocked expression.

"Sigh! It's a long story. Ever since Su Yuqing came to the Qixia Sect three years ago, I've been distracted and unable to sleep at night. Unfortunately, she has a cold personality and never smiles at others."

After Chen Feng finished speaking, he sighed inwardly. Su Yuqing was one of the top beauties in the Outer Sect. It was only natural that she ignored his advances; now that her cultivation had progressed further, she was even harder to pursue.

"Senior Brother Chen, your Junior Brother has something to say, though I don't know if I should."

"Junior Brother Xiao, feel free to speak plainly."

"When it comes to women, if she doesn't like a man, pestering her is useless. As they say, there are plenty of fish in the sea; why not choose another suitable partner, Senior Brother?"

"Sigh! I've planned to for a long time, but I just can't let go."

Xiao Chen immediately felt a pang of guilt. You can't let go, but I've already damn well put it in.

"Alright then, I'll pass on the word. As for whether it works or not, it'll all depend on your fate, Senior Brother Chen."

"Having those words from you is enough! Come, Senior Brother will take you to Steward Song right now!" Chen Feng's face lit up with joy as he patted Xiao Chen's shoulder.

The two stepped onto a Flying Sword and flew across the peaks. Ahead, amidst the mist-shrouded mountains, a distinctive Pavilion came into view.

"The place ahead is Steward Song's residence," Chen Feng said, pointing at the Pavilion in the mountains.

"Mm-hmm."

The two slowly landed. Chen Feng bowed toward the Pavilion and said, "Disciple Chen Feng has a matter to report to Steward Song."

After a dozen breaths, the door of the Pavilion slowly opened, and a woman dressed in a long black dress walked out.

Willow-leaf eyebrows and almond eyes, her figure was graceful.

Her lotus steps moved lightly, like a cool breeze brushing the face; her slender waist was like a weak willow swaying in the wind.

Her full breasts were high and rounded, revealing a glimpse of a snow-white curve beneath the black gauze dress.

Every frown, every smile, every movement revealed a seductive and delicate posture.

She truly was a beauty capable of bringing ruin to a nation!

Xiao Chen was dazed for a moment and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. However, she seemed to have been stuck at the Foundation Establishment Stage for several years.

Relying on his previous experience, Xiao Chen saw at a glance that Song Shuting's cultivation seemed to be stuck at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, having not achieved a Breakthrough for a long time.

[Ding! System has detected a bindable character, Song Shuting. Would you like to bind?]

"Bind."

Xiao Chen replied without hesitation. Such a beauty must be mine!

If I can hold onto this thigh firmly, I can walk tall in the Outer Sect from now on!

Jie jie jie... [Ding! Song Shuting has been bound. Current affection value is 0!]

Then, Xiao Chen focused his gaze on Song Shuting, and a data panel appeared before his eyes:

Name: Song Shuting

Age: 30

Gender: Female

Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Perfection

Rating: 3S-Rank

Physique: Charming Spirit Body (Unawakened)

charm value: 93/100

affection value: 0/100

Looking at the panel, Xiao Chen sighed inwardly. Hiss! 3S-Rank! One Rank higher than the sisters Su Yuqing and Su Yufei!

The key is... the Charming Spirit Body!

For the first time on a data panel, he saw a god-given divine body, and it was actually in an unawakened state!

"System, what does 'unawakened' mean?"

[Ding! The currently bound female, Song Shuting, possesses an Innate Charming Spirit Body. The Host can engage in Dual Cultivation with her to help her achieve Awakening!]

Holy crap!

Dual Cultivation right off the bat? This is a bit much, isn't it!

But... I like it!

Jie jie jie... A silver light flashed in the corner of his eyes as the X-ray Vision Function activated. Xiao Chen was stunned in place, time seemingly standing still.

Only his gaze grew more and more burning. A warm, wet stream trickled from his nostrils, but luckily he reacted in time and sniffed it back in.

Damn it!

The Eye of Chaos cannot be used recklessly!

The Charming Spirit Body already has such charm before Awakening; what will it be like after Awakening? I wonder if I can handle it.

"Sigh... what is it now?" Song Shuting spoke softly, her voice lazy and intoxicating. Xiao Chen couldn't help but wonder if she was using a Charm Technique.

He saw Chen Feng's face flush and his mind waver. Chen Feng quickly bowed and said, "This is a Disciple recommended by Junior Sister Su. She should have reported to Steward Song in advance just now."

"Yes, that is the case."

Song Shuting said indifferently. Her lively gaze landed on Xiao Chen for a moment and then passed over him.

[Ding! Song Shuting's affection value -10 points. Current affection value is -10 points!]

[Ding! immortal fate value -10 points! Cumulative immortal fate value is 170 points!]

Xiao Chen was dumbfounded. It was one thing for the affection value to drop, but why was my immortal fate value being deducted too!

"System! Why are you deducting my immortal fate value?"

[Ding! The Host's immortal fate value and affection value are completely linked. When one falls, both fall; when one rises, both rise!]

Fine, you bastard, why didn't you say so earlier! If I'd known, I would have used it up first!

"Forty years old and only at the Qi Refining Second Level. I don't even need to test his Spiritual Root to know his Aptitude is terrible. He's not suited for the Outer Sect. Send him to the Menial Worker Department!" Song Shuting extended her jade hand and waved them away casually.

In the cultivation world, Spiritual Root Aptitude is divided into Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, top-grade, Immortal Grade, and Saint Grade. In Song Shuting's view, Xiao Chen's Spiritual Root was undoubtedly Low Grade.

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment but still bit the bullet and said, "Although Junior Brother Xiao's Aptitude is a bit poor, his character is excellent. Could Steward Song please show some leniency?"

This even stunned Xiao Chen. He didn't expect that Chen Feng would actually speak up for him. He thought to himself that this kid was worth looking out for in the future.

"Cultivation is about Aptitude, not being some 'good person'! If it relied on character, wouldn't the beggars in those Mortal kingdoms all be able to cultivate!"

Chen Feng quickly echoed, "Steward Song's lesson is correct."

"Go. Go to the Menial Worker Department and give them my name!" Song Shuting gave Xiao Chen a cold look, flicked her long sleeve, and prepared to walk back into the Pavilion.

Chen Feng, standing to the side with a helpless expression, was about to comfort him when he saw Xiao Chen take a step forward and bow:

"Steward Song, please wait."
