Chapter 272: Hu Meiniang
Wang Chen himself was not very aware, but in Dongwu Town, the talisman maker Wang Xiu was indeed a significant figure.
He held a high-level Qi Training cultivation level and possessed exceptional skills in Talisman Making. Even though he usually kept a low profile, he remained a standout among the loose cultivators.
The Wei Hall had sent people to summon him multiple times for a reason!
Hu Meiniang’s smile was very sincere: "Actually, we mean no harm. Talents like you are exactly what we need!"
"We? Our sect?"
Wang Chen’s gaze flickered: "Are you referring to the Harmony Sect?"
"That’s right."
Hu Meiniang smiled as she said, "A few useless ones have died, but that shouldn’t make you abandon your home. As long as you are willing to serve in our Harmony Sect, we will provide you with all the resources needed for breaking through to open a house."
"Additionally…"
She licked her lips with a delicate tongue, her eyes sparkling with a spring-like charm. "I have a Junior Sister, only sixteen years old and still pure in body. I can introduce her to you for Dual Cultivation, allowing you to experience unparalleled joy."
Hu Meiniang’s voice was enchantingly charming, making it feel like countless gentle small hands were softly caressing the soul.
It made one want to listen further, to hear more sweet words from her.
"Such impressive seduction techniques!"
Wang Chen sincerely exclaimed, "No wonder Xin Han has fallen for your allure!"
Having never experienced it, he had at least heard of the renowned reputation of the female cultivators from the Harmony Sect, which was closely linked to their seduction techniques and skills in the bedroom.
There was no way Wang Chen hadn’t heard about them!
But only by experiencing it firsthand could he truly appreciate that their reputation was well-deserved!
Hu Meiniang’s appearance, posture, aura, voice, and expression all conveyed one word: "charm," deeply penetrating and reaching the soul, something an ordinary cultivator could hardly resist.
Unfortunately, she aimed her spellcasting at Wang Chen.
Among Wang Chen’s four fundamental attributes, his soul attributes were the highest.
Furthermore, he had cultivated the Heavenly Dragon Vajra True Method to the fourth realm, with the Ancient Stone Tablet guarding his Sea of Consciousness. Not to mention a Qi Training-level Hu Meiniang, even if her master or ancestral master were to come, they couldn’t hope to confuse Wang Chen’s mind.
All of Hu Meiniang’s flirtatious glances were wasted on the soles of Wang Chen’s feet!
Upon hearing Wang Chen’s praise, Hu Meiniang’s expression suddenly changed, and her delicate face turned pale.
This female cultivator from the Harmony Sect managed a strained smile: "You joke, fellow traveler."
The ambiguous atmosphere she had created just moments ago had completely vanished!
"I don’t like to joke with others."
Wang Chen stared at her and said, "Hu fellow traveler, I don’t care what scheming you may have, nor do I wish to get involved. Xin Han has nothing to do with me."
"I only ask you one thing: do you want to fight me?"
As soon as his words fell, the Wind and Thunder Sword in his hand emitted a sharp ringing sound.
It seemed eager for battle!
Facing the looming threat from Wang Chen, Hu Meiniang’s expression changed, and she suddenly revealed a tearful look: "I’m no match for you, fellow traveler. If you wish to kill me, I can only accept it."
She lifted her head, revealing her fair and delicate neck, which made her appear even more pitiful.
Whiz!
The Wind and Thunder Sword shot out like lightning, aimed directly at Hu Meiniang’s throat!
However, Wang Chen’s strike missed its mark.
At the very moment he swung the sword, this female cultivator from the Harmony Sect had instantaneously moved ten zhang away.
She sighed, "You have a cruel heart, fellow traveler!"
Wang Chen remained silent, controlling the Wind and Thunder Sword, preparing to unleash another sword move.
"Wait!"
Hu Meiniang quickly interjected, "I concede to you. How about this: if you return the Sword Pellet to me, all our grievances will be settled!"
Sword Pellet?
Indeed, the Sword Pellet that once belonged to Lord Jin Snake Jun was now in Wang Chen’s possession.
"You may be plain, but your thoughts are quite fanciful."
Wang Chen scoffed, "Let’s settle this with a fight. If I lose, not only will you get the Sword Pellet, but my life as well!"
The Sword Pellet was as precious as the Wind and Thunder Sword itself.
Wang Chen was not a greedy man, but for Hu Meiniang to think she could reclaim the Sword Pellet with mere words was sheer folly!
If he yielded, she would only perceive him as weak.
Thus, he refused with unwavering resolve!
"I am plain?"
Hu Meiniang seemed to ignore Wang Chen’s subsequent words. Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, and she touched her face, her delicate frame trembling slightly.
It was as if her entire worldview had crumbled, leaving her despondent.
"Ahem!"
Seeing Hu Meiniang in such a state, Wang Chen felt a twinge of awkwardness. He coughed twice and said, "Farewell, perhaps forever!"
He fully activated the silver spiritual shuttle, instantly transforming into a streak of light as he darted westward.
"Wait!"
But just as Wang Chen had flown half a mile, Hu Meiniang intercepted him.
The Cloud Lotus she commanded was evidently a superior flying artifact compared to the silver spiritual shuttle.
Wang Chen’s gaze turned icy, and he immediately gathered his magical energy, ready for a fight to the death.
Among all the Qi Training cultivators he had encountered, Hu Meiniang was the most inscrutable. She seemed shrouded in a mist, her true capabilities obscured.
Yet, Wang Chen was not intimidated; he was confident of victory!
However, if Hu Meiniang chose to flee, he doubted he could stop her.
"Do not be hasty, fellow traveler."
Hu Meiniang resumed her cheerful demeanor, as if the earlier blow had not affected her at all.
"This Sword Pellet is crucial to my sect. Since you possess the Wufeng Mountain Purple Yan Wind and Thunder Sword, you likely have no need for the Sword Pellet. I am willing to pay a high price to reclaim it. What do you say?"
Her expression was earnest.
Wang Chen suppressed the boiling Qi and blood within him and pondered for a moment before replying, "Five spirit pills."
He wasn’t surprised that she recognized the origins of his flying sword.
"Five spirit pills?"
Hu Meiniang was taken aback by Wang Chen’s steep demand: "Impossible! At most, three!"
"Then three it is."
Wang Chen promptly said, "Hand over the pills, and I’ll return the sword."
"How could I possibly carry spirit pills with me?"
Hu Meiniang said helplessly, "How about this: you accompany me back to Dongwu Town, and I’ll arrange for the spirit pills to be delivered."
"They could arrive by tomorrow at the earliest!"
"Impossible."
Wang Chen shook his head: "We trade here. I’ll return at the same time tomorrow. No tricks."
With that, he maneuvered the silver spiritual shuttle around Hu Meiniang and vanished in an instant.
This time, Hu Meiniang did not intercept him; her gaze flickered with uncertainty.
At noon the next day, when this female cultivator from the Harmony Sect returned, she waited for over half an hour, but Wang Chen never showed.
Realizing she had been duped, Hu Meiniang angrily exclaimed, "Biru Niang!"
"Heh."
At that moment, a gentle voice whispered in her ear: "Meiniang, if this happens again, don’t come looking for me."
Hu Meiniang’s charming face instantly soured.
"Yes, Master!"
She gritted her teeth inwardly, "Wang Xiu, don’t let me find you!"
