MTLNOVEL Chapter 230: I Don't Have That Kind of Clothing
The land was shrouded in night, silent and still. Only a slender, solitary figure in a long white dress, hair draped over her shoulders, stood atop a hill.
Her cheeks were scarlet, a hint of spring hidden within, her charm innate. She said to him, "Come play with me!"
Oh! That was Chen Pingping letting his imagination run wild, his thoughts having taken an unintended turn.
However, he still agreed to go. He always felt this girl had something troubling her, and as a man, he should step up and help her resolve her difficulties.
"Are you sure you want to go?" Hong You asked.
"Of course..." Chen Pingping nodded, saying earnestly, "As a man of honor, how could I be afraid of a woman?"
"..."
What a thing to say.
Hong You looked at him with disdain, rolling her eyes and saying, "She's deliberately getting close to you."
Oh?
Chen Pingping was surprised. "Really? I'm not someone who is easily approached, rest assured. No matter what her intentions are, HMPH... I'll reject them all."
"What if she tries to seduce you?" Hong You looked at him.
"I am upright and honest, filled with integrity, how could I be seduced by a woman?" Chen Pingping snorted coldly. "I want to see what kind of schemes she's playing."
"You have a nosebleed."
"Oh, it's nothing serious. She just ambushed me," Chen Pingping quickly wiped away the blood and said, "Okay, okay, go do whatever you need to do!"
With that, he hurriedly fled.
He couldn't stay any longer. Chen Shixian was truly terrifying, managing to thoroughly fluster him with just a few words. To have a nosebleed twice was indeed embarrassing!
「Elsewhere.」
After returning to her room, Chen Shixian's face suddenly flushed, her little heart pounding wildly like a startled deer.
Calm down! Steady! The Ancient Divine Body must not lose face.
She took a deep breath, gradually calming down, and began to bathe, wash, and choose her clothes...
Time passed, and the sky gradually darkened.
Chen Pingping arrived early at the appointed place. He had also changed into a new outfit and groomed himself a bit, his aura instantly improving by several levels. Before leaving, he even sprayed on some floral fragrance.
He was quite satisfied with his appearance for the day, now just waiting for Chen Shixian to show up.
About an hour later, Chen Shixian finally arrived, albeit late... but she hadn't followed their agreement to wear thin clothes.
Instead, her clothes were thick.
Chen Pingping's face immediately fell. "What's going on?"
"What?"
"Did you lie to me?" Chen Pingping glared at her. "Your clothes? Why are you still wearing so much? What happened to the very thin ones you promised?"
WAA WAA WAA! He just wanted to see the very thin clothes, what was wrong with that? Why lie to him about such a small request? This was too much. Indeed, women were all liars!
Chen Pingping was furious, ready to turn and leave.
Chen Shixian quickly rushed up and grabbed his arm. "Wait!" She paused, then added, "I... I don't have those kinds of clothes." As she spoke, her face turned crimson.
She wanted to wear them too. But she didn't have any!
"If you don't have them, then why did you lie to me?" Chen Pingping said angrily.
"Sorry, okay?"
"I don't accept. That's it! I'm going back to sleep!"
"Then... what if I show you what's inside?" she said, her face full of shyness.
This? Is this really okay? Chen Pingping paused, his gaze growing fervent, his smile revealing a touch of lewdness.
"It's okay, come!" Chen Shixian moved closer.
WHOOSH!
Divine Brilliance burst forth, enveloping them both.
She dragged Chen Pingping's consciousness deep into her Dantian, arriving before a Light Door.
Chen Shixian smiled. "Look!"
This?
He was startled for a moment, sizing up the majestic, towering Light Door before him. Though only a corner was open, the Spirit Qi fluctuations emanating from it were quite oppressive.
Glancing to the side, there were eight more Light Doors standing in a row.
Chen Pingping's heart trembled as a terrifying thought surfaced. Could it be? No way, right?
"Human Body Treasure," Chen Shixian said earnestly. "The Human Body Treasure that appears when the Dantian is cultivated to its utmost. However, I can currently only push open a corner of the first Light Door."
The latter's eyes widened in disbelief.
Although he had previously suspected, he dared not dwell on it. Cultivating a single realm to its utmost, reaching the Transforming Realm, and unlocking Human Body Treasures—these were things he had only read about in novels.
Yet, the world before him was a real cultivation world.
He never imagined Chen Shixian had truly cultivated it.
My heavens!
"How did you do it?" Chen Pingping asked.
"Just by continuously cultivating the Dantian," she said nonchalantly, her tone tinged with pride.
I did it. I'm amazing, right? Praise me, quick!
Of course, only she knew how arduous the process had been.
Thankfully, she had succeeded.
Chen Pingping fell silent, scrutinizing it carefully.
Cultivated the Dantian to its utmost?
His gaze immediately swept across the boundless Dantian, and his heart shook once more. He would bet that even Zi Ji's Dantian was not this vast.
No wonder her combat power had soared so much. So that was it.
Cultivating a single realm to its utmost, thus unlocking the Human Body Treasure... but why was only a corner of the first treasure opened? What did this signify? Chen Pingping pondered.
"Although I've cultivated my Dantian to its utmost and unlocked the Human Body Treasure, I can only push open one corner. For my next steps in cultivation, I... don't quite understand..." she admitted.
This was why she had arranged to meet Chen Pingping in the dead of night when no one else was around.
"Have you tried advancing to the second realm?" Chen Pingping asked.
"I've tried, but it's very difficult!" Chen Shixian replied. "The foundation of the Condensed Soul Realm is built upon the Dantian, so to cultivate it to its utmost, I have to return to the Dantian."
It was the same not just for Condensed Soul, but also for Destiny, and Supreme Mystery.
She felt utterly lost.
Chen Pingping frowned. "Is it possible you're not applying enough force?"
Chen Shixian shook her head. "No, it's immovable. I can't budge it at all."
"You try!" he said, lifting his head.
Without hesitation, Chen Shixian walked towards the Light Door and began to push with her hands. But no matter how much strength she applied, she couldn't shake the Light Door in the slightest.
It was like an immovable mountain.
She tried several more times, with the same result...
Chen Pingping couldn't help but exclaim, "You're really impressive!" He had said it offhandedly, yet this girl had indeed cultivated it.
Truly worthy of the Ancient Divine Body.
HEHE! This fellow actually knows how to give compliments!
With a proud smile, Chen Shixian asked, "So what should I do now?"
"Come find me tomorrow!" Chen Pingping said.
"Can't it be now?" Her eyes widened. "I don't want others to know."
"Not now. I'm having a bit of trouble controlling myself. I fear I might succumb to demonic influence later," Chen Pingping said, giving her a sidelong look, his tone casual.
Even though she wasn't wearing particularly thin clothing, under this silent night, it was very easy for something to happen between a lone man and a lone woman.
Chen Shixian was puzzled. "Why can't you control yourself? What's wrong with you?"
Chen Pingping: "..."
"Is there a problem with your cultivation?" she pressed. "To actually succumb to demonic influence... UM... that's quite scary. Can I help you?"
