148: Good news
The maid did not dare to delay, walking straight into Su Yuexin's secluded cultivation area and interrupting her Cultivation.
Su Yuexin opened her beautiful eyes, slightly displeased, and spoke faintly to the maid:
"Xiao Lü, what is it!"
Sensing her mistress was somewhat displeased, Xiao Lü immediately voiced her guess.
"Mistress, the guards just reported that an old acquaintance from Great Wind Island has come to visit. I suspected it was Young Master Ji Mo arriving, which is why I disturbed your Cultivation."
Su Yuexin was filled with pleasant surprise upon hearing this news. "Where is he? Quickly take me there."
Although she was in seclusion, she had shown up a few times in between: she appeared when the Alliance Leader summoned her, and for the Deputy Alliance Leader's inauguration ceremony.
Whether it was the news from the Sect Master or reports from her subordinates, they all told her about the earth-shattering deeds Little Brother Mo had accomplished.
Now, countless people outside wished to rope in Little Brother Mo but couldn't.
Yet, she had received a generous reward just by relying on the small bit of help she gave him back then. Little Brother Mo was truly her benefactor.
She also hadn't rashly sent Little Brother Mo a message, wanting instead to maintain this bond of friendship.
What she didn't know was that even if she had sent a message, she wouldn't have gotten a reply; Ji Mo had long since misplaced his Communication Talisman.
Rushing to the door, she saw that the person's appearance was not Ji Mo, and she instantly felt disappointed.
"What's wrong, Miss Yuexin? After parting ways at Great Wind Island, did you forget me so quickly?"
Ji Mo knew his appearance had changed, so he greeted Su Yuexin immediately.
Su Yuexin also reacted, realizing that Ji Mo was indeed not suitable for revealing his true appearance right now.
She recognized the other party's voice, confirming it was unmistakably Ji Mo.
"Brother, you must be joking. I'm just a little excited since I haven't seen you in a long time!"
"Let's go, Brother. This isn't the place to talk. We can catch up at my residence."
Ji Mo originally thought Su Yuexin would take him to a Reception Hall or something similar, but after winding through several paths, he was led into Su Yuexin's boudoir.
Ji Mo was momentarily stunned. Was this woman planning something improper with him?
Should he accept? Or should he accept?
"Little Brother Mo, don't misunderstand. This is the safest place. I believe you didn't come here just to see me!"
"You must have something important to discuss with me. To avoid leaking your important matters, talking here is the most secure option."
Ji Mo awkwardly rubbed his nose, realizing he had been overthinking things.
"Miss Yuexin, I truly came this time because I have something to ask of you—or rather, something I wish to consult you about."
Su Yuexin put on an expression that clearly said, "I knew it all along."
"Little Brother Mo, just tell me what it is. I will definitely tell you truthfully, and even if I don't know, I can ask the Alliance Leader."
"But I have one condition that you must agree to."
As she said this, a hint of playfulness flashed across Su Yuexin's face.
Ji Mo felt slightly unhappy inside but didn't show it, instead opening his mouth to ask:
"Miss Yuexin, feel free to speak plainly, as long as it is within my ability."
"Little Brother Mo, we've known each other for so long, yet you still call me Miss Yuexin every time. My condition is that you call me Yuexin or Sister Xin from now on."
"But you can't be so distant anymore; it makes me sad."
After Su Yuexin finished speaking, she looked at Ji Mo with an expectant gaze tinged with affection.
"So it was just this small thing! I was actually a little annoyed just now—I really shouldn't have been!" Ji Mo internally chastised himself.
He was glad he hadn't shown his displeasure, or it would have been awkward.
"Since you call me Little Brother Mo, I'll call you Sister Xin. I'll get straight to the point!"
"I believe you are aware of my current situation. With my current strength, I fear no opponent in a one-on-one fight."
"But those people have grouped together, determined to eliminate me. Therefore, I need to continue my Breakthrough and catch them all in one sweep."
"Conventional Cultivation holds no meaning for me anymore. I now need to find a Yao Beast clan similar to the Sea Dragon Clan to Cultivate."
"Ideally, it should be a Yao Race with a massive population, numerous Condensing Gang Realm, Void Shattering Realm, and Half-Saint experts, and possess powerful Physical Bodies and extraordinary Bloodlines."
"Oh, and ideally, the clan should have no Saints, or at most only one, and its strength should not exceed the Second Tier of the Saint Rank."
"Sister Xin, do you know where such a Yao Beast clan might be located?"
Hearing Ji Mo's words, Su Yuexin was secretly shocked by Brother Mo's strength, while simultaneously racking her memory for a location that matched Ji Mo's requirements.
She searched through her memory but couldn't find a Yao Beast clan that perfectly matched Ji Mo's requirements.
"Brother Mo, the requirements you mentioned aren't impossible, but those Yao Beast clans are all guarded by Saints, and their population size doesn't meet your needs."
"Wait a moment. I'll go see the Alliance Leader. The Alliance Leader has Saint Rank cultivation base and has dominated the Sea Region for over a hundred years. He definitely knows a place that fits the requirements."
"Alright then! I'll trouble Sister Xin." Ji Mo thought to himself that relying on luck wasn't a sustainable plan, so waiting was better.
Upon receiving Ji Mo's reply, Su Yuexin didn't worry about leaving Ji Mo alone in the boudoir and immediately headed out.
However, she suddenly turned around and came back. "Brother Mo, our Alliance Leader has always admired you. I wonder if I can disclose the news of your arrival to him."
"No worries, Sister Xin, just arrange it as you see fit."
Ji Mo wasn't concerned. He didn't believe this person would destroy his own foundation. If there was genuine malice, Ji Mo wouldn't mind slaughtering another Saint here.
On the other hand, Ji Mo still trusted Su Yuexin; the affection in her eyes couldn't be faked.
Having received Ji Mo's reply, Su Yuexin ran out again.
Since Ji Mo had nothing to do, he wandered around the boudoir. It was, after all, a woman's Fragrant Chamber, filled with perfume, causing ripples in his heart unconsciously.
To be honest, Ji Mo hadn't touched a woman in over a year. Seeing this scene, his heart naturally wasn't calm.
Ji Mo was simply restraining himself. In this world of Cultivation, there were too many beautiful women; if he took every one, Ji Mo estimated his harem could easily reach thousands or tens of thousands.
After all, he wasn't a stallion. For women, it was best to have an emotional foundation, unless they were truly the type he felt compelled to possess instantly.
Otherwise, Ji Mo wouldn't easily flirt around. If he touched them, he had to take responsibility; walking away without a care was something he couldn't reconcile with internally.
Most importantly, Ji Mo didn't want a woman he had touched to be touched by anyone else. This was a minor obsession with cleanliness, perhaps!
He only touched women who could be brought into his harem; he had no interest in casual flings.
While Ji Mo was lost in wild thoughts, Su Yuexin had gone and returned.
"Brother Mo, the Alliance Leader said he does know a location that meets your requirements, but he would like to meet you. What are your thoughts?"
"Of course, if you don't wish to meet, that's fine too. He will tell me the details, and I will relay them to you."
Ji Mo naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request. Everyone needs friends, and since someone was expressing goodwill, he was willing to accept it.
