179: Chapter 179: Selecting a Consort in the Phoenix Clan!!!

After Su Xuan's intense persuasion, she finally convinced her mother, Phoenix Clan Chief Feng Xia, that as long as Cao Yang could help her achieve a Breakthrough to quasi-Saint, she would agree to become Cao Yang's Dao Companion.

Inside the Phoenix Clan's main hall, the atmosphere felt somewhat tense yet filled with anticipation.

"Young Master Cao Yang, our Phoenix Clan's Elders and many young Geniuses have a very favorable impression of you. I wonder, do you have any requirements for a Dao Companion?" Phoenix Clan Chief Feng Xia, sitting in the main seat, looked gently at Cao Yang and Su Xuan, who were seated to her lower right, and asked softly.

Cao Yang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and a flash of cunning crossed his eyes: "Sister Xia, my requirements for a Dao Companion aren't very high. They just need to be super pretty and have decent character. However, I only plan to take three Dao Companions from the Phoenix Clan. Of course, that doesn't include you."

As soon as his words fell, the entire hall instantly fell into silence, and everyone was stunned.

Especially those Elders, who had originally hoped that they themselves or the younger generation of their Family could become Cao Yang's Dao Companion. But upon hearing that he would only choose three, their hearts tightened, and they secretly prayed to be chosen.

Feng Xia maintained her composure. After thinking for a moment, she proposed a suggestion: "How about this? I will first have them select the top five most beautiful women from the younger generation, and then you can choose from the Elders and those five. What do you think?"

This proposal caused a slight commotion in the hall, with everyone whispering to one another, seemingly discussing the feasibility of this plan.

Cao Yang nodded, indicating his agreement: "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Xia."

Feng Xia smiled slightly and gave a few instructions to a female Disciple beside her, who immediately nodded and left.

Not long after, five women with stunning appearances and outstanding temperaments walked into the hall.

The five women were all dressed in fire-red robes. Some were tall, some short, their skin was fair with a rosy tint, and each had a red Phoenix mark on their foreheads, all of them incredibly beautiful.

Their eyes held a hint of shyness and curiosity, and they glanced at Cao Yang from time to time, clearly full of interest in this mysterious guest.

"These five are the most beautiful women among the younger generation of our Phoenix Clan. Young Master Cao Yang, you may choose three from them and the Elders to be your Dao Companions," Feng Xia introduced.

Cao Yang stood up and carefully examined the five women. His gaze swept over each one, as if he were appraising a precious treasure.

He was momentarily stumped, because all five were very beautiful, flawless in their beauty. Honestly, he wanted them all!

Moreover, those Elders also possessed voluptuous figures and stunning looks; he didn't want to miss out on them either.

Cao Yang looked at Feng Xia and said with a smile: "Sister Xia, your Phoenix Clan is truly a treasure trove for beauties! Everyone is a national beauty with a face that could topple cities; it really makes it difficult for me. However, I can't be too greedy; after all, Dao Companions require fate. How about this: let these beauties Cultivate near where I am staying for the time being. We can get to know each other, and if there is truly a connection, then things will naturally fall into place."

"Giggle." Upon hearing Cao Yang's words, one of the five laughed out loud on the spot. She found this man extremely interesting; he had neither rejected them nor directly accepted them, but instead gave an ambiguous answer.

Many of the other four and the Elders also covered their mouths and chuckled. They felt surprised and amused by Cao Yang's answer, while also appreciating his attitude.

The Phoenix Clan Chief on the main seat was also holding back her laughter, trying her best not to show it, but her impression of Cao Yang improved a little, feeling that he was a man of discretion.

"Hehehe, Brother Yang, do you want them all? Why don't you just take them all?" Su Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. She found Cao Yang's answer very interesting and also wanted to tease him.

Cao Yang glared at Su Xuan and said solemnly: "Xuan'er, don't talk nonsense. Am I that kind of person? What I care about is the cultivation of feelings, not the quantity. Only those who truly love each other can become Dao Companions; this is a principle I have always insisted on."

"Alright, alright, alright, Xuan'er was wrong. My Brother Yang is definitely not that kind of person," Su Xuan hurriedly corrected herself, quickly saying to Cao Yang.

"Since Young Master Cao has said so, you may all withdraw first!" Feng Xia waved her hand towards the five women and the Elders, her tone carrying a hint of authority.

Everyone nodded in agreement and then turned to leave. However, just at this moment, Cao Yang suddenly spoke up and called out to them: "Wait a moment, the one who laughed the loudest just now, stay." His voice was not loud, but it was filled with an unquestionable power.

Everyone was stunned, and then their gazes simultaneously fell upon a red-haired woman.

This woman was named Feng Jiaojiao. She wore a red dress, her figure was slim and graceful, like a blooming flower.

What was even more eye-catching was that she was actually standing with her bare feet hovering thirty centimeters off the ground, as if she were a fairy descended to the mortal world.

Beneath her short skirt, two long and slender beautiful legs were revealed, skin like snow, emitting a charming luster. Those legs were not only long, but also full of elasticity and fleshiness, making people unable to help but be captivated by them.

In addition, her two pale pink eyes flickered with a mysterious light; those with a lower cultivation base would be unable to extricate themselves after just one glance.

Feng Jiaojiao felt the gazes of everyone, her face changed slightly, but she quickly recovered her composure.

She walked lightly to a spot not far from Cao Yang and bowed: "This little woman, Feng Jiaojiao, my Revered Master is the Clan Chief herself. Greetings, Young Master Cao, and greetings, Senior Sister Yanran."

Cao Yang did not acknowledge Feng Jiaojiao's greeting. He slowly walked closer to Feng Jiaojiao, his eyes revealing an indescribable expression.

"Young Master Cao, my Disciple has been spoiled by me on a daily basis. Her words just now were reckless and lacked etiquette. Please bear with her," Feng Xia said, feeling a tightness in her heart as she saw Cao Yang slowly walking towards her Disciple, and hurriedly pleaded for her.

Cao Yang, however, acted as if he hadn't heard her. He walked straight to Feng Jiaojiao's side, a wicked smile on his lips, and leaned his lips close to Feng Jiaojiao's ear.

Feng Jiaojiao's body instantly tensed up, her heart filled with nervousness and anxiety. Her eyes looked eagerly towards her Revered Master, hoping for help.

Cao Yang ignored Feng Jiaojiao's gaze. His lips gently touched Feng Jiaojiao's ear, and he said in a low, magnetic voice: "You are quite bold. Come to my room tonight; I want to punish you well." After saying this, his teeth lightly bit her earlobe, bringing a slight sting and a sense of pleasure.

When Feng Jiaojiao heard these words, a trace of joy welled up in her heart, but it was quickly overwhelmed by a strong sense of shyness.

Her face quickly flushed red, like a ripe apple, as if it could drip blood at any moment.

She had never experienced such teasing; in her daily life, she had almost never had contact with men, spending her days immersed in Cultivation.

Now, not only was she being intimately touched, but it was also in front of her Revered Master and Senior Sister, which made her feel incomparably shy.

"Sister Xia, this Disciple of yours is not bad. I've taken a liking to her, so let's count her as one!" Cao Yang returned to his seat with a gentle expression, then picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

Seeing Cao Yang's casual attitude, Feng Xia frowned, feeling somewhat displeased in her heart, but she still politely said: "This... I have been grooming Jiaojiao to be the next Clan Chief."

However, Cao Yang smiled dismissively and retorted: "What future is there in being a Clan Chief compared to being my woman? As a Clan Chief, she might not even be able to break through to the Saint Realm in her entire life, but as my woman, becoming a Saint is only the beginning of her Cultivation." His words were full of confidence and dominance.

Hearing these words from Cao Yang, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in Feng Jiaojiao's eyes.

She had a profound understanding of Cao Yang's strength and potential, knowing that becoming his woman meant more Opportunities and room for growth.

Feng Xia sighed helplessly, thinking that she truly could not block her Disciple's Opportunity and future.

Therefore, she could only compromise: "Since it is like this, alright, I will just choose someone else as the next Clan Chief." This was perhaps the best choice for Feng Jiaojiao.
