"Alright, I give up. I'm not cultivating anymore. You can rest assured now." Ao Qian gave up.
How else can he persevere?
He couldn't bear to let Song Xiwei take even the slightest risk.
Song Xiwei's sudden decision to cultivate was simply because she didn't want to take any risks.
If persuasion proves useless, only when he gives up will Song Xiwei be able to give up as well.
However, even though Aoqian had said he was giving up, Song Xiwei still stared at the knife with bright eyes. "But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that wanting to pursue a more beautiful version of myself isn't wrong. Why don't I try cultivating it first? If it works well, then Your Majesty can try it again?"
Unexpectedly, Song Xiwei actually became interested in this matter.
Aoqian warned her with a gloomy expression, "You're beautiful enough already, why do you want to be even more beautiful? Don't you leave any room for others to live? You're not allowed to think about cultivating secret techniques anymore, forget about it completely."
Hearing this, Song Xiwei was quite troubled. "But I'm really curious right now. What will I become after I start cultivating? I really want to know... Even if it means suffering a little pain, I want to know..."
Aoqian was speechless.
What does it mean to be trapped in one's own web?
What does it mean to lift a stone only to drop it on one's own foot?
He is experiencing it right now.
“You said before that you wanted to cultivate for your own sake, and now I can understand you. Your Majesty, you must also be curious and want to improve yourself. Since there is such a good way for us to become better versions of ourselves, why not take advantage of it?”
Song Xiwei's eyes gleamed as she stared at the knife and the secret manual in his hand.
Aoqian now feels apprehensive at the mere thought of cultivation.
Let alone thinking about anything else.
As long as Song Xiwei gives up this idea.
"This secret manual isn't that great. It might turn us into androgynous monsters like the Demon King before. Let's not cultivate it. We're fine as we are now. One shouldn't be too greedy; that's not good..."
Now the tables have turned completely, and Aoqian has begun to earnestly persuade Song Xiwei to give up.
Song Xiwei was well aware of how tragically Miao Ruyi had become after practicing the secret technique.
She didn't genuinely want to cultivate; she just wanted to make Aoqian give up.
However, even though Aoqian seems to have given up now, she is still worried and even fears that Aoqian is two-faced and has not completely given up in secret.
"What should we do then? This is what's on my mind right now. How about we go find the Demon King and ask him why the effects weren't as good when he was cultivating that technique. Is there any way to get an upgraded version of this manual? At least the effects after we cultivate it shouldn't be worse than the Demon King's back then..."
Song Xiwei looked extremely interested in this matter, even eager to try it out, which made Ao Qian's heart sink.
"Let's leave this room first..."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Aoqian kicked the knife away and then pulled Song Xiwei out of the house.
The Demon King had been on tenterhooks the whole time. Just now, when Song Xiwei learned about Aoqian's cultivation secrets, her eyes were so fierce. The Demon King had never seen Song Xiwei's eyes so sharp before, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He thought that Song Xiwei would go in and bring Aoqian out to confront him, making the Demon King very anxious. But to his surprise, Song Xiwei didn't come out for a long time after she went in.
I have no idea what those two are doing in the house...
No, we're going to cultivate together, right?
The Demon King's expression became very subtle, as if some image was flashing through his mind.
Just as he was lost in his fantasies, the door opened.
Ao Qian pulled Song Xiwei out, and judging from Ao Qian's face, he looked frightened and extremely gloomy.
Looking again at Song Xiwei, she seemed to be in a very good mood...
Wait a minute, why have those two been in there for so long?
After they came out, their expressions didn't seem like they had a falling out.
Just as the Demon King was about to ask a question, he saw Song Xiwei staring straight at him with a bright smile. "I have something I'd like to ask you. Tell me the details of when you transformed into a woman using that secret technique you practiced."
