Fairy Ji possessed unparalleled talent and was wise and powerful.
Ji Chan'er looked at Qi Yuan with a probing expression; she seriously suspected that this guy had been captured on purpose and that there was definitely some trickery hidden within.
But she also knew that without solid evidence, a certain someone would never admit it, and asking would be in vain.
Thinking of this, Ji Chan'er immediately changed the subject, her expression becoming serious:
"Currently, I am competing for the position of Saintess with the legitimate daughters of the other two families. The struggle for the Saintess position has always been cruel and bloody, with no means left unused. If you enter the inner Sect now, it's inevitable you'll be dragged into it."
"It's better to continue lying low in the Outer Sect for a while. After all, the most dangerous place in the Outer Sect is Blood Refining Peak, and you've already cleared it out now."
"Once word of this gets out, your name, Qi Da, will surely shake the Outer Sect, and no one will dare provoke you."
"Plus, with the verdict personally decided by Vice Hall Master Situ, the friends and Family of the deceased won't have the guts to find trouble with you; otherwise, the Law Enforcement Hall won't let them off."
"Therefore, in the short term, staying in the Outer Sect will actually be safer for you."
"The only thing worth worrying about is the inner Sect Elder Chi Yuting. There are rumors that Chi Yinghu is his illegitimate son. Although there's no definitive conclusion, it's definitely not groundless."
After pondering for a moment, Ji Chan'er's willow-like brows furrowed slightly as she continued her introduction:
"Chi Yuting is the son-in-law of the Shen Clan. He only gained his current status after marrying into the Shen Clan, so he has always been henpecked. Even if he has an illegitimate son, he wouldn't dare acknowledge him."
"Whether the rumors are true or not, I will ask the Elders in my Family to go and warn Chi Yuting. I believe he won't offend my Ji Clan for the sake of a mere illegitimate son."
"From now on, as long as you don't take the initiative to loiter in front of Chi Yuting, there won't be any danger in the Outer Sect..."
Hearing this, a warm current couldn't help but rise in Qi Yuan's heart, and he said with a smile:
"I know what to do. But what about you? Are you confident about the struggle for the Saintess position?"
He knew that the Ji Clan currently dominated the Demonic Sect. As a legitimate daughter of the Ji Clan, Ji Chan'er naturally had a powerful protective umbrella; even if she failed to seize the position, her life would not be in danger.
However, in a gloomy Sect like the Demonic Sect, the demonic Cultivators' thinking completely followed the logic of 'the winner takes all' and 'survival of the fittest.' Losers often paid a huge price.
As a man, Qi Yuan naturally didn't want to see his woman fail.
Furthermore, if Ji Chan'er successfully sat on the throne of the Demonic Sect's Saintess, it would also be a great help to him.
"Don't worry."
Ji Chan'er smiled proudly and said with full confidence, "My Thousand Illusions Heavenly Demon Body has reached Major Achievement. Those two vase-like women, Shen Xingxuan and Situ Yan, simply cannot be my match."
"When the Inheritance Hall opens in six months, I will surely defeat all competitors and seize the Saintess Legacy in one fell swoop!"
Hearing this, Qi Yuan nodded with a look of realization.
No wonder the Thousand Illusions Demonic Eye he had copied from this enchantress suddenly increased in power; it turned out she had actually cultivated the Thousand Illusions Heavenly Demon Body.
The Thousand Illusions Heavenly Demon Body is a top-tier Divine Ability Physique in the Illusory Yin Heavenly Demonic Scripture. Once practiced to Major Achievement, one can create thousands of Incarnations and change at will, making it impossible to guard against.
With the unpredictable Thousand Illusions Heavenly Demon Body, Ji Chan'er was fully qualified to compete with the Dao Children and Saintesses of the Seven Great Holy Lands.
As the thought passed, a gratified smile appeared on Qi Yuan's Face, and he praised:
"Fairy Ji's talent is peerless, and she is wise and martial. This Qi admires you."
"Smooth-tongued."
Ji Chan'er gave him a sidelong glance, but her beautiful, diamond-shaped lips couldn't help but curl up as she asked expectantly:
"In a month, it will be my Old Ancestor's grand birthday. Didn't you say you were going to prepare a gift? How is the preparation going?"
"Old Ancestor loves to promote promising juniors for the Yin Sha Sect. If you can perform well and catch his Dharma Eye, there will be endless benefits in the future."
Qi Yuan was startled at first, then quickly said:
"Fairy Ji, my cultivation is currently low, and in terms of status, I'm just an Outer Sect Disciple. I'm afraid I'm not qualified to offer birthday greetings to the Demonic Venerable. How about you do it for me..."
"No!"
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by an annoyed Ji Chan'er:
"You heartless bastard, you've taken such a huge advantage of me, and now when I ask you to meet my Family Elders, you're making all sorts of excuses. This is simply outrageous!"
"I'm telling you, if you dare to refuse, I'll never talk to you again."
Seeing this, Qi Yuan could only give a bitter smile and said helplessly:
"Alright then, I'll go."
If possible, he really didn't want to attend the Demonic Venerable's birthday banquet.
The scene then would surely be a chaotic dance of demons and a foul atmosphere. If anything went wrong, there would be no way to escape to heaven and no door to enter the earth.
But this enchantress had already invited him several times, showing that she cared deeply about whether he went to offer birthday greetings.
If he still didn't agree, he might be seen as a heartless scumbag, and wouldn't his backyard catch fire then?
After all, she was his woman; he had to give her the Face she deserved.
Fortunately, he now had the True: Pretending to be a Pig to Eat the Tiger talent. As long as he kept a low profile, he didn't have to worry about his identity being exposed... "That's more like it!"
Seeing him agree, Ji Chan'er's anger immediately turned to joy, and she said with a charming smile:
"Don't worry, our Ji Clan isn't a dragon's pool or a tiger's den; we won't do anything to you."
"As for the gift, Old Ancestor has been obsessed with studying the Way of Health Preservation in recent years. Just send some ordinary longevity-extending Medicinal Pills or something to show your sincerity."
The Way of Health Preservation?
Qi Yuan showed a look of surprise.
Mahayana Realm Cultivators have already passed the Dao Tribulation. Although their Lifespan cannot be said to be infinite, living for two or three hundred thousand years is still easy.
As a long-standing old demon at the Mahayana Peak, the Ji Clan Ancestor's Lifespan would only be higher.
Now Old Demon Ji is only eighty thousand years old, which isn't considered very old among Mahayana Cultivators. Yet he's already starting to worry about Lifespan issues; could he be injured?
No, he just reached the Mahayana Peak Breakthrough and there's no record of him fighting anyone. The probability of a physical problem is small... While Qi Yuan was lost in thought, Ji Chan'er's pretty Face suddenly turned red, her tone carrying a bit of shyness:
"You stay here tonight. Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the Ji Clan Ancestral Land to meet a few Elders and some managers, lest they treat you as an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple and kick you out during the birthday celebration."
Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Was this the rhythm of meeting the parents?
The next moment, a pair of jade arms as white as frost and snow wrapped around his neck, and a thread of orchid-like fragrance wafted into his nose.
Looking at the charming and peerless beauty before him, Qi Yuan's desires immediately began to stir.
Thinking of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly:
"Fairy Ji, it's said that the Thousand Illusions Heavenly Demon Body can create thousands of Incarnations. This Qi is deeply curious; why don't you demonstrate it for me on the spot?"
Hearing this, Ji Chan'er's cheeks immediately flushed crimson, and her phoenix eyes, brimming with autumn waters, gave him a harsh glare as she snorted:
"You bastard, don't think I don't know what bad ideas you're cooking up!"
Although she said so, her delicate body became a bit illusory, and her slender, graceful figure split into three.
In an instant, three identical "Ji Chan'er"s appeared, each elegant and charming, with skin like fragrant jade, no different from an Immortal Master...
