Yue Mei hesitated, her crimson eyes flickering with uncertainty.
"Young Master Su, you don't understand. There are many people searching for me. They can erase your family like nothing." Her voice was heavy.
Su Kang's brows furrowed, but he still nodded his head. He was prepared for this. He isn't afraid of nascent soul cultivators from the Xuantian Empire. Once he joined the Heavenly Sword Sect, then everything was fine.
"Miss Yue, then tell me so that I can understand. You can choose to tell me some truth and hold back some important information. Let me decide after hearing your story." Su Kang tried to convince her.
"Very well. Let's talk somewhere else." Since she decided to leave on her own without informing her aunt, she decided to call her and tell her everything.
Yue Mei saw his sincerity and decided to take his help for now. With this, they will also have an idea about how much 'help' he can offer her.
Su Kang relaxed after hearing this. He gestured for her to follow him as she sent a message to her aunt. Her aunt will arrive soon.
The Golden Carp, a subtly charming teahouse located in a secluded part of Liyun City, was recognized for its private rooms. Su Kang selected a room that overlooked a peaceful courtyard, hoping the calming environment would alleviate Yue Mei's noticeable unease.
Yue Mei's fingers traced the rim of her teacup, her gaze fixed on the swirling leaves. He was waiting for her guest to arrive as well.
Soon a sudden shift in the air, a subtle ripple in the fabric of space, announced an arrival. The door to the private room swung open, revealing a woman of breathtaking beauty.
Su Kang's eyes widened in surprise. The woman was a vision of ethereal grace; her long, flowing black hair cascaded down her back, framing a face of exquisite beauty.
Her skin was like flawless porcelain, her lips a perfect bow, and her eyes, a deep shade of violet, held a depth of wisdom and experience.
She was clad in a form-fitting crimson robe that accentuated every curve; she possessed a mature, voluptuous physique that was both alluring and commanding.
The robe, cinched at her slender waist with a silver sash, emphasized the fullness of her breasts and the gentle flare of her hips. It was a body that spoke of both power and sensuality.
"Aunt," Yue Mei's voice, filled with a mixture of relief and apprehension, broke the silence.
The woman's gaze shifted to Yue Mei, a gentle smile softening her features.
"Yue Mei," she said, her melodious voice resonating with the very air around them. "You did not listen to me."
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
She then turned her attention to Su Kang, her violet eyes studying him with an intensity that made him feel as though his very soul was being laid bare.
"And you must be Young Master Su," she said, her gaze unwavering.
"I am Zhu Zhihao, Yue Mei's aunt."
Su Kang finally managed to regain his composure. "It's an honor to meet you, Senior Zhu," he spoke, bowing deeply.
"A Nascent Soul cultivator," he thought.
"The honor is all mine, Young Master Su," Zhu Zhihao replied, a hint of amusement in her voice.
"My niece seems to have found herself in quite the predicament. Perhaps you can shed some light on the situation."
Su Kang felt a chill run down his spine. Since she was from the Xuantian Empire and there are people chasing her, it means Yue Mei has someone to protect her.
He guessed that there might be a nascent soul cultivator behind her, but he didn't expect to meet this soon.
He doesn't know how to answer her question. Her gaze lingered on him for a moment longer before she finally turned her attention back to Yue Mei.
A silent conversation passed between them as they exchanged their emotions and thoughts. Finally, both of them decided something and ended their secret conversation.
Zhu Zhihao, having gracefully seated herself on a cushion, fixed her penetrating violet gaze on Su Kang. Yue Mei sat beside her, her crimson eyes downcast, her delicate hands clasped tightly in her lap.
Su Kang was speechless and overwhelmed by her presence. But he knows that it was not time for such feelings. The stakes are higher with the arrival of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Yue Mei tells me you've offered your assistance. It's a noble gesture, but you should know what you're getting yourself into." Her aunt said.
Su Kang nodded,I understand, Senior Zhu. I want to help, but I need to know the truth."
Zhu Zhihao inclined her head, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Very well. The truth is, we came to this region seeking clues. Clues related to Yue Mei's… unique condition."
She paused, her smile vanishing as she spoke, "Yue Mei possesses a unique physique. It's a constitution that remains, as of yet, unnamed and unknown to the cultivation world."
"Even among ancient texts or scriptures, I could not find information related to her physique. It may be rare, as the first case known to me was her mother, and Yue Mei is the second."
Su Kang's brow furrowed. "A unique physique?"
He knows that ancient records have described many different types of body constitutions, yet she could not find anything regarding this specific one. He guessed it might be related to her lineage.
"I believe she inherited it from her mother. As Yue Mei's cultivation progresses, she gains a strange, intuitive understanding of her own body. It's akin to a… bloodline awakening."
"With each breakthrough, she gleans more insight, more fragmented knowledge, about the nature of her constitution."
"We speculate that when her bloodline fully awakens, her physique might evolve, perhaps even transform. But for now, that remains a theory."
Su Kang leaned forward, his curiosity piqued. He had heard of bloodline awakenings, but never one intertwined with a physique in this manner.
It was a fascinating concept to him. And what is this fragmented knowledge? Does this bloodline carry the memories from ancient times?
Zhu Zhihao noticed his interest and continued,
"You see, her body has a peculiar effect on men. A natural charm, an allure that draws them in."
Her violet eyes flickered towards Su Kang, then to Yue Mei.
"But you and your brother seem to be exceptions to this. Your lineage seems to have blessed you."
Su Kang was astonished after hearing this. This was unexpected news to him. Did he also have some bloodline ability?
"Senior Zhu, you mentioned my lineage. Is it possible... could I also have some kind of ability that might be relevant to this situation?"
"I don't think so. But your brother might have it."
He asked, "How does he relate to all this?"
Zhu Zhihao's expression turned serious as she said.
"Yue Mei's body reacts in his presence. It's a resonance, a… connection. She believes, and I'm inclined to agree, that your brother might hold the key to understanding, perhaps even unlocking, the full potential of her physique. This could even change her fate."
"Her bloodline might be searching for a solution through Su Ting. His presence might be helpful, but the way he can help her remains unclear for now."
Su Kang was thinking about roadblocks in Yue Mei's destiny. Fate told him if her roadblocks could be solved, then her destiny has potential like 'Children of Destiny.
Su Ting is in love with someone like her. Su Kang doesn't know if it's mutual or not, but he will leave this for them to decide.
"Senior Zhu," Su Kang began, his gaze shifting to the powerful Nascent Soul cultivator,
"Yue Mei mentioned danger. Could you elaborate on why? What kind of danger are we talking about?"
She has a unique body, fine, but it's an unknown body. It can't be dangerous if it was that simple.
Zhu Zhihao exchanged a brief, knowing glance with Yue Mei before responding.
"Her body... it's not just that it has a charm, but it's also a furnace body. They can use this to further their cultivation, and their path to immortality might become smoother."
Su Kang's mind raced. He understood the implication of this truth. They might not tell him sensitive information, but they won't lie to him.
There are people after her; her body might be more powerful than he might think. These individuals would go so far as to annihilate entire families or clans perceived as obstacles.
"How strong are they?" Su Kang asked.
"They are strong enough to flatten the entire Jiang state. Do you still want to help her?" Zhu Zhihao asked in amusement as she looked at him.
Su Kang thought about her question. He has to fight against demon cultivators in the future; compared to them, the Xuantian Empire is not difficult.
"I will help if you let me. But my family will stay out of this." He said after thinking.
