Chapter 38

After testing the power of the Five Elements Resistance, Zhan Yi returned to Mai's house. Now, he was very curious to know if Mai was a cultivator. However, when he reached the door of their new room, he overheard a conversation between two girls inside: "Sister Xiaolan, do you think we should come to listen again tonight?"

"Sure, if you're scared."

"It's not that. I just can't sleep well after listening, and it makes me very uncomfortable."

"Then are you thinking about Brother Zhan at night? Hehe..."

"I... I don't know. Do you think about him?"

"I do, but how could a young master like him ever look at girls like us?"

Zhan Yi was about to push the door open, but after hearing the girls' conversation, he had to stop. He knew Mai wasn't at home, but these two girls were being incredibly bold, discussing such matters in broad daylight, and he was the subject of their talk.

If it were in the past, not only would he have never encountered a goddess like Mai, but even if he had girls like Xiaolan and Wan'er, who were class beauties, liking him, he would have fallen in love long ago. Now, he felt a bit flattered, but he didn't know how to handle the situation.

After hesitating at the door for a moment, he couldn't resist his curiosity and ran to the window to see what the two girls were doing. What he saw made his heart race even more. The two girls were kneeling on the floor, cleaning it. Since they were facing away from the window, their round, firm buttocks were directly in his line of sight.

Their short skirts barely covered their lower bodies, and as they moved, it looked like a uniform诱惑 (uniform temptation). Zhan Yi's mind filled with countless scenes from adult films, and he thought that entering and having a rear entry would be perfect.

"Brother Zhan, what are you doing?" Just as Zhan Yi was figuring out how to engage with the two girls, Mai's voice came from behind him.

"Uh... I was just checking if anyone was in the room." Zhan Yi's heart almost leaped into his throat when he heard Mai's voice. He thought to himself, "How unlucky can I be? My first time peeping and I get caught."

The two girls inside, upon hearing the conversation outside, quickly turned around and met Zhan Yi's gaze. Their faces turned red, and they quickly stood up.

Zhan Yi quickly moved away from the window and came to Mai, saying the most meaningless thing: "Hehe, Mai, where did you go?"

"Hmph... You tell me. Where did you go today? You came back so late. I wanted you to accompany me shopping, but I couldn't find you." Mai pouted.

"Hehe, I'm really sorry, Mai. I had some urgent matters today and didn't have time to tell you. Let's go inside, and I'll explain it to you." Zhan Yi noticed that Mai didn't suspect anything about his peeping, and he felt relieved.

"Xiaolan and Wan'er aren't here? Why didn't you go inside just now?" Just as Zhan Yi was feeling relieved, Mai's question put him in a difficult position again.

"They are, I just saw them." Zhan Yi felt his excuse was weak.

"Really? Are you doing something bad?" Mai looked at Zhan Yi, her face slightly red, and she couldn't help but suspect.

"Absolutely not. Mai, with my character, would I be that kind of person?" Zhan Yi quickly put on a very upright expression, not admitting what he had just done. After all, it was just a fantasy, and he hadn't seen anything real.

"Your character shows that you are a good person, hehe." Mai gave him a playful glare and then laughed.

They soon entered the room, and Xiaolan and Wan'er, seeing Zhan Yi, couldn't help but blush. They weren't sure if Zhan Yi had heard their conversation, as such bold words from two girls were quite embarrassing.

Fortunately, Zhan Yi and Mai just greeted them and then went to the bedroom, which made the two girls feel relieved.

In the bedroom, Zhan Yi first asked Mai about cultivation. Mai didn't hide anything and explained the cultivation of the Moer clan to Zhan Yi. The more he listened, the more surprised he became. He never expected the Moer clan's cultivation power to be so strong.

It turned out that after the ancient Moer sealed the Nu Lin, the descendants of the Moer clan never stopped cultivating. Using the cultivation techniques left by Moer, many strong cultivators emerged. However, with the development of society, fewer people cultivated, but there were still hundreds of cultivators.

Among them, the eight major contributors of the Moer clan were the strongest, all reaching the late stage of the Yuanshen realm. However, these contributors were always in seclusion, only appearing when the Moer clan faced major disasters. Even the ordinary people in the clan didn't know of their existence.

The next strongest was Mai's father, Mo Bei, who had reached the mid-stage of the Jindan realm. The four elders of the Moer clan had also reached the early stage of the Jindan realm. Below them were the ten major protectors of the Moer clan, all at the mid-stage of the Pigu realm. The rest of the cultivators were at various stages, mostly between the Hou Tian and Xian Tian realms, with only a few reaching the Pigu realm.

As for Mai, being the daughter of the clan leader Mo Bei, she had started cultivating from a young age, but due to her young age, she had only reached the late stage of the Xian Tian realm.

After listening to Mai's explanation, Zhan Yi couldn't help but sigh. Due to absorbing Xiao Jiao's memories, he was very clear about the cultivation realms, which were divided into Hou Tian, Xian Tian, Pigu, Jindan, Lianxu, Yuanshen, Dacheng, Dujie, and Feisheng.

The higher the realm, the harder it was to cultivate, and the fewer people succeeded. Reaching the Jindan realm was already considered a strong cultivator, and reaching the Yuanshen realm made one a super-strong cultivator. Cultivators at the Yuanshen realm usually waited for ascension and didn't involve themselves in worldly affairs. Now, the Moer clan had eight people at the Yuanshen realm. What kind of power was this? With such strong cultivators, did he really need to deal with the Nu Lin?

The more he thought, the more he couldn't understand. Zhan Yi couldn't help but ask Mai, and she sighed: "Sigh... Brother Zhan, do you think the Nu Lin can be measured by cultivation realms? The energy of ancient beasts is not within the scope of modern cultivators, so it's not something modern cultivators can handle."

Zhan Yi fell silent, as he indeed didn't know the power of ancient beasts, as it wasn't in Xiao Jiao's memories. However, he knew that if Mai said this, the contributors of the Moer clan must not be able to handle the Nu Lin, or they wouldn't have sought his help. This made him even more curious about the ancient beast.

"Brother Zhan, what did you do today? Did something happen?" Mai saw that Zhan Yi seemed troubled and asked.

Zhan Yi shook his head and told Mai about consuming the Five Elements Grass and acquiring the ability to resist the Five Elements. He also mentioned that if he found the cultivation techniques, he could control the Five Elements and achieve a Five Elements Body.

Mai was delighted but soon became curious: "Brother Zhan, why did you look for the Five Elements Grass? What's your story?"

"Actually, it's for my cultivation. As for why the cultivation technique I practice requires the Five Elements Grass, I don't know." Zhan Yi hesitated but decided to continue hiding the truth from Mai, as he didn't know what the future held.

Mai became even more curious: "Brother Zhan, what realm are you at now?"

"Realm? I don't know." Zhan Yi was taken aback by Mai's question. He indeed didn't know his realm, and he wasn't sure if he was even a cultivator. Apart from the Yin-Yang Five Elements Soul Furnace, his body, speed, strength, and durability were superior to ordinary people, which seemed similar to a cultivator but also seemed unrelated.

"You don't know? How do you cultivate then?" Mai was more confused.

"My cultivation technique is special and doesn't seem to have realms. But I know that cultivating to a powerful level should lead to immortality." Zhan Yi shook his head, unsure.

"Brother Zhan, your cultivation method is so strange. I think you should find a real cultivation technique to practice. Otherwise, how will you know when to transcend or when to ascend?" Mai advised.

Zhan Yi nodded slightly but felt a bit bitter. He didn't know if he could defeat the Nu Lin or find the Soul Water and Yin-Yang Fruit. Even if he had a cultivation technique, what use would it be?

The next day, Zhan Yi was very happy. Besides enjoying the sweetness of love with Mai, Dong Dabao also brought him good news. Hu Dawang was getting anxious, as he heard that an investigation had already started. This made Zhan Yi feel that he had one less visible opponent.

However, the next day, Lu Hu told Zhan Yi something. The Yin-Yang Group had sent a new leader, possibly a woman, who was planning how to deal with Zhan Yi.

This piqued Zhan Yi's interest. From the old memories of An Island, he knew that in the Yin-Yang Group of Woni Bird Country, there were many female cultivators, and their strength was not inferior to male cultivators. These female cultivators often used seduction to approach their targets and then kill them unexpectedly, making them hard to guard against. But who was this woman sent to deal with him, and would she use such methods?

After some consideration, Zhan Yi decided that instead of guessing, he should lure the snake out of its hole. Since they wanted to kill him, he would give them an opportunity. If he set up the situation properly, he might even turn the tables and achieve a counter-assassination.
