4: Arrange the women according to local conditions
Seeing Mu Wuchen like this, Zhu Mengmeng cried as she packed her belongings and left.
Mu Wuchen still felt a wave of disgust. He could consider fox women, dragon women, phoenix spirits, or rabbit spirits. He could even selectively accept green snakes and white snakes, but this toad spirit truly exceeded his bottom line!
Mu Wuchen muttered 'bad luck' under his breath. Then, he gathered all forty to fifty servants and maids living in his manor, dismissing those he disliked or who were closely associated with the original owner, keeping only a few women with clean backgrounds and decent appearances.
The once bustling manor suddenly became much quieter.
Several women stood side by side cautiously, feeling quite apprehensive about why Mu Wuchen was making such a big fuss today.
Mu Wuchen gave Su Meier a look, and a hint of annoyance immediately appeared in Su Meier's eyes. Her small fists clenched, and her silver teeth bit down, but she was helpless. She reluctantly stood in line with the other maids.
Su Meier was practically going mad with anger. She, a dignified Demon Emperor, whose status was comparable to the Tianxuan Sect Master, was now being subjected to such humiliation by Mu Wuchen, who was only in the Linghai Realm!
A scholar can be killed but not humiliated; a fox cannot be humiliated either!
Although she wished she could tear Mu Wuchen limb from limb, outwardly, Su Meier showed no signs of abnormality.
Mu Wuchen's Heavenly Eye swept over the maids, and soon, information about them appeared in his mind.
Shan Qingwu: Quenching Body First Stage, naturally soft bones, can initially sense wind elements.
Lin Wanqing: Quenching Body Second Stage, elegant voice, musical perception beyond ordinary people.
Lin Wanyue: Quenching Body Second Stage, good mental strength, sharp ears and eyes, can observe minute details.
Mu Wuchen sat down on a large chair. He surveyed the beautiful young women before him, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:
"Shan Qingwu."
Hearing his words, a delicate-looking woman below stepped forward slightly, a bit nervous.
"M-Master..."
The woman named Shan Qingwu seemed a little timid.
Most of them had no background and average talent. After being abducted by the original Mu Wuchen, their fate was no longer in their own hands. Whether they could live well depended entirely on Mu Wuchen's mood.
It was already a stroke of luck for them to remain pure until now, but today, Mu Wuchen seemed to have noticed her.
"Don't be nervous. Your name is Qingwu, so can you dance?"
Shan Qingwu's heart sank, thinking, 'It's over.' She had no experience with it, and now that she had dampened Mu Wuchen's interest, her future days would probably not be easy.
"I-I'm sorry, Master..."
"This lowly one has not learned..."
Her voice even trembled a little.
Mu Wuchen thought to himself, 'The original owner was really not a good person. Even without the system, he was a complete villain and a big bad guy.' Look how he scared this girl with just a casual remark.
"Tomorrow, use the manor's money to hire a dance master from the sect's Music Hall who can use wind elements. Have her teach you to dance. The poses must be complete, and the difficulty should be high: backbends, leg lifts, splits, your knees should be able to reach your shoulders. I will personally inspect you later. You may leave."
Mu Wuchen's unquestionable voice came through.
Upon hearing Mu Wuchen's words, Shan Qingwu felt as if she had been granted a great pardon. She quickly bowed nine times and left.
Mu Wuchen sighed inwardly. The disparity in talent and strength between people in this world far exceeded that of his previous life, and the boundaries between noble and common were even more distinct.
He had originally only noticed Shan Qingwu's naturally soft bones, which would allow her to unlock more movements.
Moreover, according to the Heavenly Eye's description, she could sense wind elements, so her movements should be more nimble. That's why he asked if she could dance, but he didn't expect such a strong reaction.
"Lin Wanqing, Lin Wanyue."
This time, a pair of sisters stepped forward. They looked seven or eight parts alike. The original owner's character was not great, but his taste was good. Both sisters had fair skin and good figures, with slender waists and long legs that could be held in one hand.
Although these two women were slightly less beautiful than Su Meier, they were still at an eighty-plus level, and one of them had a noticeably softer and more pleasant voice.
"Wanqing, your voice is good. Go with Qingwu and find a teacher to learn the art of vocal music. Learn all types of voices: mature woman, loli, young girl, and married woman. Wan Yue, you go learn musical instruments. Learn all of them: guqin, guzheng, pipa. Oh, and you must also be able to play the xiao. Similarly, I will personally inspect you after a while."
The two women quickly nodded in agreement and left. They vaguely felt that today's Mu Wuchen was somewhat different. Although the requests he made were a bit puzzling, he didn't order them around. If this were normal, displeasing Mu Wuchen would often result in beatings and scoldings.
Mu Wuchen also arranged suitable tasks for the remaining women based on the descriptions provided by the Heavenly Eye, according to their talents and strengths.
These women had no background and their talent and strength were average, but if used properly, they would be much better than just being servants who only served tea and water, were timid, and lacked spirit.
He was a worldly man. Having transmigrated, he couldn't neglect cultivation, couldn't forget enjoyment, had to build a career, and also needed pleasure. Physical satisfaction was essential, and mental pleasure was indispensable.
After the others left, only two women remained: Su Meier and one other, because the Heavenly Eye's description of her was distinctly special.
Hua Jingrou: Quenching Body Fourth Stage, Hundred Flowers Bloodline, affinity with life essence.
In the Heavenly God Domain, some prodigies possess special physiques different from ordinary people, called Divine Bodies.
For example, Su Meier, the Seven-tailed Heavenly Spirit Fox, possesses the Heavenly Fragrance Body. Some of these special physiques can be acquired at birth, while others are obtained later. Although physiques vary in strength, even the weakest is enough to allow the owner of a Divine Body to achieve extraordinary accomplishments in certain areas.
And when those with Divine Bodies reach a certain realm, they can improve the bloodline of their kin. The closer the bloodline, the greater the benefits received. If it's a direct bloodline, they can even inherit forty to fifty percent of the Divine Body's power at birth!
And this woman named Hua Jingrou possesses the Hundred Flowers Bloodline. Although the bloodline is not very concentrated, it proves that her ancestors very likely included powerful individuals with Divine Bodies.
"Jingrou, have any cultivators above the Emperor Realm appeared in your family's ancestry?"
Hearing Mu Wuchen's words, Hua Jingrou's eyes showed confusion. The Emperor Realm was an existence she dared not even imagine. Even a powerful sect like Tianxuan Sect seemed to have extremely few Emperor Realm cultivators on the surface.
Millions are Kings, tens of millions are Emperors, hundreds of millions are Venerables, and billions are Great Emperors, corresponding to the Heavenly King, Emperor, Supreme, and Great Emperor Realms respectively.
In other words, only one Emperor Realm expert might be born among tens of millions of people!
And Mu Wuchen was asking if her family had produced experts above the Emperor Realm, which was beyond her comprehension.
Seeing her reaction, Mu Wuchen knew she was unaware, so he didn't press further and changed the subject:
"Do you like spirit flowers and spirit herbs?"
Upon hearing this question, Hua Jingrou actually seemed a little flustered. Her gaze suddenly became evasive, and she dared not look into Mu Wuchen's eyes.
Her body even began to tremble, but she still struggled to nod.
She had a natural affinity for flowers and plants, and she vaguely had a feeling that the flowers and plants she cultivated grew much faster than those cultivated by others.
Even after being brought to the Tianxuan Sect manor by the original Mu Wuchen, she couldn't resist secretly collecting some valuable spirit plant seeds from outside and quietly cultivating them in her small room, which was only about ten square meters. Several of them had already sprouted.
She thought Mu Wuchen's question was because he had discovered her secretly collecting spirit plant seeds from the manor and was going to punish her.
According to Mu Wuchen's previous methods, he would very likely chop off her hands.
