12: Chapter 12 A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on; Little Linzi, I'm going to find a new love!

The sun rises and the moon falls, day and night alternate. In the blink of an eye, it was already the deep night of the second day.

Xuantian Sect Outer Sect, Luoye Peak.

Located at the edge of the Sect, the Spiritual Qi here was thin, far from being as spiritually rich and beautiful as the main Peak. Rows of simple wooden houses for Outer Sect Disciples were built against the mountain, emitting a slightly dull creaking sound in the howling night wind.

Gu Yi wore a dark-patterned black robe that blended into the night, his breath-concealing technique fully activated, standing quietly outside the window of the wooden house where Lin Tian lived.

In his palm, he was toying with the fragment of millennium soul-nurturing wood that emitted a faint, dark fragrance. He had already cast the bait last night; calculating the timing, that starving big fish should be unable to hold back any longer.

Inside the room, separated by a wall.

Lin Tian lay sprawled on the hard wooden bed, breathing heavily and snoring slightly.

During the day, because he had been ignored by Gu Yi at the back mountain last night, he felt pent-up frustration and was irritable while practicing his sword, nearly injuring his Meridians. After tossing and turning all day, he was exhausted and sleeping soundly.

The mysterious black iron ring he wore on his right hand emitted a faint purple light in the darkness.

Inside the space of the mysterious black iron ring, Ji Meier's illusory Soul body was floating in mid-air. She glanced through the cracks of the mysterious black iron ring at Lin Tian's crude sleeping posture with disdain.

This kid not only had mediocre talent, but his Heart-Nature was also beyond saving.

Others had merely ignored him once, and it was enough to make him lose his composure in a rage. Following such a narrow-minded person, let alone returning to the Peak, it wouldn't be strange if he were slapped to death by an enemy on the roadside one day.

A hint of refreshing, faint fragrance drifted into the room through the cracks in the window, precisely drilling into the mysterious black iron ring. It was the pure scent of the millennium soul-nurturing wood.

Waves of light swirled in Ji Meier's illusory eyes. On one side was a penniless youth with no hope, who couldn't even provide enough Spiritual Qi to fill the gaps between her teeth; on the other side was a handsome young man who was generous, possessed a top-tier Physique, was deep-minded, and well-versed in romance.

Anyone who wasn't a fool could calculate this balance.

"Good birds choose their tree to perch on. Little Lin, Big Sister is going to find a new love."

Ji Meier chuckled in her heart, without a shred of lingering attachment.

Outside the wooden house.

Gu Yi keenly sensed a wisp of light purple mist seeping out from the cracks in the window lattice.

This wisp of mist quickly gathered and intertwined in mid-air, gradually outlining the graceful and charming silhouette of a woman.

Gu Yi's eyes widened slightly, and his breathing stalled for a moment.

Even though he had already mentally prepared himself through Divine Sense transmission last night, when he truly saw the Soul body posture of this Dao Integration Stage expert, he still experienced a trace of astonishment and palpitation that belonged to a normal man.

It was a figure so mature that it seemed like it could drip water with a single pinch. Although it was only a semi-transparent Soul body, those exaggerated curves, the waist that could be gripped in one hand, and that faint, visible purple gauze dress were all challenging a man's visual nerves.

Especially those fox-like eyes; as her gaze shifted, they seemed to carry hooks, capable of forcibly dragging a person's Soul out of their body.

Gu Yi secretly circulated his Chaos Creation Immortal Body, forcibly suppressing the trace of instinctive heat in his heart. This old enchantress was an out-and-out femme fatale, and also a dangerous whirlpool.

"Little guy, not bad composure."

Ji Meier floated in mid-air, looking down at Gu Yi. Seeing the astonishment flash in his eyes and the look of clarity that quickly returned, the appreciation in her eyes deepened. She didn't fear men who were lustful; she feared men who let female beauty cloud their judgment. The young man before her clearly knew how to control his own desires.

"With Senior gracing me with your presence, this Junior naturally has to be on full alert."

A calm smile played on the corners of Gu Yi's mouth as he opened his palm, revealing the millennium soul-nurturing wood that emitted an alluring fragrance. "The 'Manchu Han Imperial Feast' that this Junior promised—this first appetizer is already prepared. Is Senior satisfied?"

Ji Meier smelled the fragrance that struck directly at the Divine Soul, and her Soul body trembled slightly, unable to control itself. This temptation, which was a great tonic for the Divine Soul, was simply impossible for her to resist.

She giggled, her figure turning into a streak of purple light, tracing a graceful arc in mid-air and diving straight into the millennium soul-nurturing wood in Gu Yi's palm.

"I'll count this little guy as having a conscience. I quite like this new home."

A lazy, seductive voice sounded directly in Gu Yi's mind through the millennium soul-nurturing wood, carrying a hint of satisfied laziness.

At the very same moment Ji Meier moved into the millennium soul-nurturing wood, the mysterious black iron ring in the room completely lost its original luster, turning into a piece of scrap metal without any Spiritual Qi.

Lin Tian on the wooden bed seemed to sense something; he turned over, muttering indistinctly: "Senior... wait until I find the spiritual fire... I will definitely make Gu Yi pay..."

[Ding!]

[Detected that the host has successfully induced the Daughter of Luck, Ji Meier, to defect voluntarily, completely stripping the Son of Luck of his greatest trump card.]

[Perfectly intercepted the core Daughter of Luck.]

[Villain Value + 2000 points.]

Looking at the Villain Value that instantly soared on the account, Gu Yi was in a great mood. He leisurely tucked the millennium soul-nurturing wood into his bosom, close to his heart.

"As long as Senior likes it, that is good."

Gu Yi looked through the cracks in the window at Lin Tian, who was still sleeping soundly in the room, and communicated with Ji Meier in his bosom using his Divine Sense.

"The night is deep and the dew is heavy; it wouldn't be right for this Junior to let Senior catch up in this cold wind."

He turned around, his gaze cast toward the empty wooden house next to Lin Tian's dwelling, which was usually used for storing sundries, the curve of his mouth becoming even more profound.

"It just so happens that there is an empty room right next door. Why don't we move to a quieter place and have an in-depth discussion about the matter of reshaping your Physical Body?"
