Chapter 674: Chapter 674 - 659: Entering the Illusory Realm to Save Uncle

No matter what, she just couldn’t believe that he truly had a wife and several children out there.

Every time she aimed to force herself on her Junior Brother, however, his Power always proved to be far superior to hers.

She was never successful!

"Eldest Martial Sister... ACHOO!"

Ji Shang was utterly helpless, sneezing continuously, unable to utter a full coherent sentence.

"Don’t think you can fool me, Junior Brother. I just came from Master’s place, and before I left, I specifically asked Master to perform a divination. He said that if our Lingxiao Mountain doesn’t recruit a disciple with good aptitude within the next three years, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to rank as the last among the four major cultivation forces."

As Mei Ji spoke, she leaned towards Ji Shang, her enticing bosom barely concealed, her peach blossom eyes flashing with a soul-captivating allure.

Ji Shang closed his eyes and sighed softly, "Eldest Martial Sister, you always pressure me like this." With that, he began to recite the Heart-Clearing Mantra!

While reciting the mantra, he continued to sneeze. ACHOO! ACHOO! The sneezes wouldn’t stop.

Suddenly, Mei Ji giggled. This is indeed a rare opportunity. Usually, whenever I try to force myself on you, you always use this Heart-Clearing Mantra to resist me. I can’t miss such a good opportunity today.

Ji Shang’s Heart-Clearing Mantra was constantly interrupted, and before he knew it, he had fallen for Mei Ji’s trick.

"What perfect timing! Junior Brother, how about you and I become Daoist partners and accompany each other for life?"

Ji Shang’s eyes suddenly opened, a hint of confusion within them. "Eldest Martial Sister says... says..."

"Says what?"

Mei Ji was overjoyed. For decades, she had never succeeded in bewitching her Junior Brother. One reason was that her Junior Brother was himself a very skilled Illusionist. The second was that he had, from somewhere, learned this Daoist Sect’s Heart-Clearing Mantra and chanted it all day long, causing her to fail repeatedly.

Today, she had just returned from Shengtian City and heard that her Junior Brother had been sneezing constantly these past few days, and it was getting worse, with no medicine able to cure it. She felt it was an excellent opportunity, so she had come.

Excellent! This sneezing has greatly diminished the effect of your Heart-Clearing Mantra. I can finally succeed!

Mei Ji murmured joyfully, her fair, delicate hand reaching for Ji Shang’s face. She gently caressed it, the desire in her eyes unconcealed. She slowly bent her head, puckering her luscious red lips, preparing to kiss him.

Her small mouth inched closer and closer to Ji Shang’s lips. Just as she was a hair’s breadth away, about to succeed...

"ACHOO!"

Ji Shang let out a sneeze and suddenly opened his eyes.

Mei Ji was furious, gritting her teeth. "Junior... Brother..."

She quickly pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her face vigorously!

Ji Shang ignored her and continued to recite the Heart-Clearing Mantra, silently rejoicing that he had finally woken up. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

I refuse to believe you can be this lucky every single time!

Mei Ji seethed, gritting her teeth, about to use her Charm Technique again, when a distant, ethereal voice sounded, "Mei Ji! Stop fooling around! Come to Heartless Cliff to see me immediately!"

Mei Ji’s movements abruptly stopped. She gritted her teeth in anger. This old fogey always ruins my good affairs! After cursing angrily, she shot Ji Shang another fierce glare. "I’ll let you off today. If there’s another chance next time, I absolutely will not fail again."

The only response to Mei Ji’s bold declaration was another "ACHOO!" from Ji Shang.

「At the top of Heartless Cliff」

Mei Ji walked before an old man with white robes, white eyebrows, and white hair, and bowed in salute.

"Master! Can you please not always spoil my good affairs? Junior Brother and I were just about to succeed! Why do you always call me away at the critical moment and ruin my good affairs!"

The old man sighed softly. "Your Junior Brother is a married man, and his heart isn’t with you. You should stop forcing it."

This old man was named Venerable Heming, one of the six great powerhouses on the Profound Celestial Continent, an existence just one step away from ascending to become a High Immortal.

"Master! You’re getting on in years, already approaching the age of riding the crane to the west. Yet, among the ten elders of our Lingxiao Mountain, not a single one is in a state of advancement. Right now, only Junior Brother has this hope. I just want to push him a little, make him forget those twenty-two years of tempering in the Mortal Dust."
