Ma An stared in shock at the incredibly beautiful woman not far away. How did this woman appear out of nowhere?
However, he quickly forgot about all that and was instead stunned by the woman's beauty. In fact, he had seen countless stunning beauties while working in the palace. For example, the Empress, the Crown Princess, and Consort Bai were not necessarily much less beautiful than this woman. But the woman in front of him had a captivating charm that could bewitch all beings. She didn't even need to speak or make any movements. She just stood there and blinked her eyes, and he found that his soul had been stolen away.
Such a femme fatale exists in the world!
Ma An had long since lost interest in women due to his advanced age, but now, smelling the faint fragrance that had filled the room since the woman's arrival, he felt as if he had returned to his youth, and his stagnant heart suddenly came alive.
"What is this woman's relationship with Zu'an? Why is she here?"
"It seems they were summoned at Zaun's behest?"
"What merits does this guy Zuan possess? A street thug, he first gained the favor of the eldest daughter of the Chu family, and now he has such a close relationship with such a stunning beauty!"
Anger level from Ma An: +444 +444 +444...
Zuan was speechless. What was going on? Why was he angry with me for seeing a pretty girl?
He didn't bother with any of that and directly said to the beautiful woman beside him, "Daji, control him and find out who's behind him."
Daji has three abilities, one of which, "Bewitching the World," allows her to control men for a short period of time.
Daji nodded, then walked gracefully to Ma An, revealing a smile that could launch a thousand ships.
Ma An was stunned for a moment, his mind filled with thoughts like "I'm going to die, I'm going to die," and he even drooled involuntarily.
"Who exactly is behind you?" Daji couldn't speak, so Zu'an had to ask.
"My master is behind me..." But in Ma An's eyes, it was as if Daji was questioning him.
"Who is your master?" Zu'an hurriedly asked.
"Master is..." Ma An muttered subconsciously, then his expression suddenly changed and he immediately came to his senses. "You damned Zu An, what kind of evil magic did you use!"
Zuan frowned. Why would the other party wake up at this time?
At this moment, Mi Li's voice came: "Have you forgotten that there is a condition for the 'Fox Charm Under Heaven' to take effect? That is, the target's cultivation level must be lower than Daji's cultivation level."
Zu An sighed: "Of course I remember, but I thought Ma An's cultivation level was similar to Daji's, both around the early stage of the sixth rank. Moreover, I just deliberately drained his power, but I didn't expect it to still not work."
“Since the requirement for Fox Charm to be of lower cultivation level than Daji is clearly a condition that must be strictly followed. As for you absorbing his power, it will not affect his realm. Although cultivators do not cultivate their soul in the early stages, it will be subtly nourished. You absorbed his power, but his soul and realm will still remain at the sixth rank,” Mi Li analyzed.
"Then what should we do?" Zu An was a bit of a headache. This Ma An was also cunning. He had tampered with his body in advance, so he couldn't be hit or lied to. There was really no way to deal with him.
Mi Li pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't we say before that the Gathering Yuan Pill could improve her skill levels? Let's give it a try this time."
Zuan's eyes lit up: "That's right!"
"Who...who are you talking to?" Seeing Zu'an talking to himself in the air, Ma'an felt a chill run down his spine. He instinctively tried to run away, but his body was limp and he could only move a small distance in a sorry state.
Zu An was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he knocked him unconscious with a single palm strike, planning to deal with him after he finished refining his pills.
However, he quickly realized a problem: "Empress, even Shen Xuzi doesn't know how to make this thing?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a small, bright green cauldron from his pocket. To be honest, at first glance, the color of this thing looked ominous, but after looking at it for a while, it actually looked quite handsome.
“Shenxuzi couldn’t use it because he didn’t know the proper method,” Mi Li’s red figure appeared, took the small green cauldron from his arms, and stroked it with her slender fingers. After a long while, she sighed softly, “Alas, it’s a pity that it’s incomplete. But it’s good this way. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to control the complete Nine Cauldrons now.”
Zuan felt a little uneasy. His Tai'a sword was also sealed, and now the Nine Cauldrons were also incomplete. Was his luck good or bad?
Of course, he was more concerned with a practical issue at the moment: "Actually, I've already tried it before, and this thing doesn't really look like an alchemy furnace."
“What do you know?” Mi Li snorted. “The Nine Tripods are symbols of power, but they originally had the function of cooking. Have you forgotten what you saw in the Yin Ruins secret realm?”
“That makes sense,” Zuan nodded. In the early days, ding were used as utensils for cooking, but the size and number of ding used by people of different statuses were strictly regulated.
"It's a pity that I didn't try to take the Nine Tripods when I was the King of Shang in Yinxu for so many years." Zu An suddenly felt a little regretful. Logically speaking, the Nine Tripods mysteriously disappeared around the time Qin unified the six states, so the Shang Dynasty must have had the Nine Tripods. Unfortunately, he was so focused on passing the trial that he didn't consider these things.
Mi Li shook her head: "The power of the Nine Tripods is extraordinary. King Wu Geng of Shang could not have gone to such great lengths to simulate the function of the Nine Tripods in the Yin Ruins. In that secret realm, the Nine Tripods were probably no different from ordinary tripods."
"So that's how it is." Zu An thought to himself, no wonder he hadn't sensed any powerful Nine Cauldrons in the palace during his long stay in Yin Ruins.
