51: One body, two souls, freely switchable, Hu Mei and Hu Bao
Just when everyone thought the overall situation had been decided.
Seeing that Hu Mei's actions were becoming increasingly provocative, almost failing censorship,
Jiang Yuan, seated upon the throne, flashed a hint of coldness deep within his hazy eyes.
The act is almost over.
With a thought.
*Buzz—*
An ancient aura, impossible to describe with words, suddenly erupted from within him!
The moment it appeared, the entire Yingxian Island,
the entire territory of the Jiang Family, all sounds, all light, and all Laws, seemed to have been paused!
Immediately after,
streaks of hazy gray Grandmist Purple Qi, resembling the beginning of Chaos,
permeated out from Jiang Yuan's body.
The pink, ambiguous mist completely dissolved the moment it touched the Grandmist Purple Qi,
leaving not a single trace behind.
The seductive, demonic sounds also ceased abruptly.
Replaced by a grand Heavenly Sound, seemingly originating from the source of the Great Dao,
resonating deep within everyone's Soul,
causing their hearts, which had been restless and agitated by desire, to become clear and tranquil.
"Pfft!"
Hu Mei, who had been triumphantly swaying her waist,
preparing to deliver the final killing blow to Jiang Yuan, was suddenly struck as if by lightning.
Her Charm Technique was forcibly broken,
leaving her kneeling on the ground in disarray, her aura weak.
She lifted her head, her gaze locked tightly onto the figure slowly rising from the throne.
"T-this... What kind of power is this?!"
Jiang Yuan still maintained his calm and composed demeanor,
but at this moment, his entire being seemed enveloped in a layer of sacred radiance.
Behind him, billions of stars seemed to rise and fall, and three thousand worlds appeared to be born and destroyed.
Although he stood right there, he seemed distant, high above the heavens, making people afraid to look directly at him.
A supreme majesty, transcending all living beings, and even transcending the Heavenly Dao,
caused everyone present, whether Heavens Proud Daughters or Quasi-Emperor Mighty Figures,
to feel a sense of insignificance and awe originating from the depths of their Souls!
The Sect Master of the Saint Demon Sect suddenly stood up from her seat,
her face, which had been beaming with pride, was now filled with undisguised panic and shock.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! He... isn't he only at the 6th Realm? Why... why does he possess such a terrifying aura?!"
Inside the Jiang Family's Deliberation Hall, even the Old Ancestor couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Immortal... Immortal Technique! This is an Immortal Technique! And it's a complete Immortal Technique!"
"Of the Sixteen Immortal Techniques, which one did Yuaner obtain?"
"More than that, Yuaner's Immortal Technique... seems to be complete!"
A complete Immortal Technique,
perhaps holds the potential for... Immortal Ascension!
Jiang Zhan was also trembling with excitement,
watching his nephew, who resembled a descending deity in the Water Mirror, immense waves surged in his heart.
Innate Fertility Saint Body, System, Spirit Ascension Pill, saint spirit pill, complete Immortal Technique... Is his Jiang Family truly about to produce an Immortal?
Meanwhile, Hu Mei, who was closest to Jiang Yuan on the Dao Discussion Platform, felt an unimaginable shock.
She lay on the ground, staring incredulously at Jiang Yuan, who was walking toward her step by step,
and swallowed weakly.
Jiang Yuan looked down upon her:
"Do you have any other tricks? Bring them all out,"
"If not, you are eliminated."
...In the distance, the Sect Master and Elders of the Saint Demon Sect, who were observing the ceremony through the heaven-connecting mirror, were completely dumbfounded.
The pride and ecstasy on their faces had vanished without a trace.
"Impossible! How can this be?!"
"Mei'er... How did Mei'er end up like this?!"
"Backlash! This is the Charm Technique backlash! That Jiang Yuan, the Imperial Son... he actually managed to counter-control Mei'er's Charm Technique!"
The Saint Demon Sect Sect Master was so furious she was trembling all over, nearly spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
It's over!
Everything is ruined!
Her Saint Demon Sect's Genius, rarely seen in ten thousand years, the hope for their future, is just... crippled!
Even if she manages to return alive today, after this incident, her Dao Heart will inevitably collapse completely, and she won't be able to advance an inch in this lifetime!
Unless she is chosen by Jiang Yuan... but given Hu Mei's current state, can she still achieve that?
"She can!"
"Elders, don't forget, Mei'er still has a trump card!"
"Her One Body Two Souls!"
...Hu Mei raised her head and looked at the man before her,
She knew she had lost.
If this Imperial Son Jiang hadn't held back earlier,
after her Charm Technique was broken,
she might have ended up doing something utterly disgraceful in broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
If that had happened... she truly would have been finished.
Yet this Imperial Son Your Highness,
withdrew his hand at the last moment,
preserving her last shred of dignity.
In Hu Mei's heart, she felt a measure of gratitude toward this Imperial Son, whose methods were decisive yet gentle.
However, she was clear about the purpose of her visit.
She absolutely had to win over Jiang Yuan,
and ensure the Saint Demon Sect's continuation for another ten thousand years!
And she was not... without a trump card!
This was a decision she had already made in her heart before stepping onto the stage.
If she could win over Jiang Yuan using her 'Hu Mei' main body, that would be best,
and then use her other Soul to give him a surprise,
further cementing her place in his heart.
But plans couldn't keep up with changes.
If she held onto that thought now,
she probably wouldn't even pass the second trial!
She gazed at Jiang Yuan,
lowered her head after a moment,
and said submissively and respectfully:
"This little woman naturally still has something to display."
"Please, Imperial Son Your Highness, grant me another chance."
Jiang Yuan looked down from above,
gazing at the girl who had finally bowed her head,
and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although it was only the beginning,
it counted as a decent start.
"Granted."
He leaped up and returned to the throne.
Hu Mei took a deep breath, climbed up from the ground, and patted off non-existent dust.
This time, she did not immediately start dancing.
Instead, she extended a slender jade finger and gently tapped her glabella.
*Buzz—*
A strange energy fluctuation emanated from her body.
The next second, an unbelievable scene occurred!
Hu Mei's originally mature and charming body,
actually began to shrink at a visible speed!
Her voluptuous figure and seductive curves all vanished!
In their place was a petite figure with a pure face,
a cute little loli with twin pigtails!
She was wearing a pink princess dress,
her large, watery eyes curiously surveying her surroundings, a hint of shyness on her face.
"B-big brother... H-hello..."
The little loli looked at Jiang Yuan, her voice soft, sweet, and slightly childish.
"M-my name is... Hu... Hu Bao... I... I'll dance for everyone... okay?"
