"Brother Qin Ning, do you want to pursue this beautiful Sister Yun Shuang'er?" Ling Xiaofei suddenly spoke up, "If you want to pursue her, can you find a place for me to take a bath first? I haven't bathed in ages, I stink!"
"..."
"..."
Finally, the group arrived at the inn's main hall. The martial artists disguised as bandits had fled, and the inn gradually returned to quiet.
Qi Hao also walked over at this moment.
"Brother Qin Ning's cultivation is truly extraordinary, I admire you!"
Qi Hao cupped his hands and smiled. While speaking to Qin Ning, his eyes were fixed on Yun Shuang'er.
He didn't care about Qin Ning at all. The reason he came over was because Yun Shuang'er was too beautiful; her pure and elegant appearance made his heart pound in his chest.
"Yun Shuang'er, what a beautiful name!"
Qi Hao looked at Yun Shuang'er and praised, "Young lady is truly born enchanting. I am Qi Hao of the Qi family from Tian Shui Commandery, and I would like to learn more from you!"
Qi Hao extended his hand, but Yun Shuang'er ignored him and instead looked at Qin Ning.
"Young Master Qin Ning, you just said I have something troubling me?" Yun Shuang'er said calmly, "Does Young Master Qin Ning know what my trouble is?"
"I can read fortunes!"
Qin Ning put on a solemn expression and smiled, "Although I don't know where the young lady's journey is taking her, I know the young lady has an illness that is inconvenient to speak of!"
Hearing this, Yun Shuang'er's gaze towards Qin Ning clearly showed more surprise.
"Indeed, young lady possesses the star-fate of a martial artist, but it is a mortal fate, mortal soul, and mortal body. There is no interaction with spiritual energy, so you cannot cultivate. It is truly a pity!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Shuang'er's expression suddenly changed.
Old Mo, standing beside her, carefully watched Qin Ning, his eyes filled with vigilance and ill will.
"How do you know?" Old Mo said darkly.
"I told you, I can read fortunes!"
Qin Ning said indifferently, "Well, is it true or not?"
At this moment, Yun Shuang'er bit her lip and looked at Qin Ning, saying, "Young Master Qin, if you don't mind, please come to my room for a visit!"
"Alright!"
Qin Ning happily agreed.
The two stood up and left, leaving Qi Hao sitting alone.
Watching their retreating figures, Qi Hao's face darkened.
"What is the background of this brat? No matter how I look at him, he seems like a swindler!" Qi Hao said coldly, "Commander Chen Feng, investigate this person for me!"
"Young Master, our trip is to the Imperial Capital to participate in the examination to join the Heavenly God Academy. Young Miss Ye, your cousin, is already waiting..."
"I told you to investigate, so do it. Why so much talk?"
Qi Hao said impatiently, "Daring to show off in front of this young master. This brat is still too green!"
In that room, Old Mo cautiously stared at Qin Ning, his face full of vigilance.
"Don't worry, in front of a master at the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm like you, I won't act recklessly!"
Qin Ning looked at Yun Shuang'er and smiled, "I know, Young Miss Yun's body can be described as a mortal fate, mortal soul, and mortal body. She cannot make the spiritual energy in her body stop, so she wastes her efforts relying on spiritual energy to awaken her star gate but has no way to cultivate any realm."
"It's like holding a treasure in your hand but having no way to activate it."
"Since Young Master has seen through it, do you have a solution?"
"Of course, there's a way!"
Qin Ning continued, "Actually, your physique is not simply a mortal fate, mortal soul, and mortal body. These are just the mistakes that those blind fools out there constantly cram into your head every day!"
"Huh?"
As soon as Qin Ning finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on Yun Shuang'er's face.
"Could it be that my physique is a spirit body?"
Yun Shuang'er was utterly astonished.
"No, it's not a spirit body, nor is it any of those chaotic physiques like a Saint Body, King Body, Emperor Body, or Imperial Body!"
Qin Ning shook his head, denying it.
"Then what is it, exactly?"
At this moment, Yun Shuang'er also felt bewildered.
"I don't know. Miss Yun, have you ever heard some folk legends?"
Qin Ning calmly said, "In our world, from the very beginning, it wasn't like this. Instead, there were many small worlds separated from each other. Later, a deity rearranged the myriad worlds and unified them."
"And based on that, time was set!"
"But before the unification, it was called the Chaos Era!"
Qin Ning stood up and said, "And your physique is the Chaos Body. It cannot be called a special physique, but it is special in that it existed before chaos."
"The Chaos Body absorbs powerful primal energy, not spiritual energy. Therefore, it's normal for your body to have no interaction with spiritual energy."
"Primal energy? True primal energy?"
Yun Shuang'er's expression darkened as she said, "I've read ancient books that record how martial artists cultivate to change heaven and earth. But now it's a world of spiritual energy. Where can I find true primal energy to cultivate?"
"Who told you that you must rely on true primal energy to cultivate?"
"Does Young Master have a way?"
"Of course!" Qin Ning smiled indifferently.
Hearing these words, Yun Shuang'er's mood suddenly brightened.
From childhood to adulthood, she had been unable to cultivate. Every time spiritual energy enveloped her body, it quickly dissipated, and her body had no interactive force with spiritual energy.
Even her own father had no way to resolve it.
This trip to the Imperial Capital was to find a relative and ask if there was any special method in the ancient books.
"That's great, Young Master has a way!"
Yun Shuang'er said joyfully, "What is it?"
"Well, this..."
Qin Ning smiled indifferently, "I can tell you the method, but you must agree to one condition of mine!"
"What condition?"
"Become my, Qin Ning's, maid!" Qin Ning said casually.
"Nonsense!"
As soon as Qin Ning finished speaking, Old Mo, who was standing beside him, suddenly shouted loudly, "Young man, don't think that just because you're spouting a few glib words here, you can make my young lady believe you and become your maid. You are not qualified!"
"Huh?"
Qin Ning frowned and said, "I asked her, not you?"
"If I hadn't seen her rare Chaos Body, why would I waste half a day explaining to you all?"
"This..."
Yun Shuang'er said helplessly, "Even if I agree to this condition, my father wouldn't agree!"
"Alright then!"
Qin Ning stood up, patted his clothes, and said indifferently, "If that's the case, there's nothing more to say."
"Sigh..."
"Brother Qin Ning!"
Yun Shuang'er still wanted to say something, but Ling Xiaofei, who had finished bathing, walked into the room from the other side.
Her small figure, about seven or eight years old, had her hair tied in a ponytail, and her small face was rosy and delicate, as clean as an unpolished gem. If this girl grew up, she would surely be a great beauty capable of bringing ruin to nations.
"Not bad, you smell better now!"
Qin Ning rubbed her head and said, "Let's go!"
"Huh? Did you finish talking with that pretty older sister? It seems like the conversation wasn't very happy, was it? Did the pretty older sister think you weren't worthy of her?"
Hearing these words, Qin Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"That's right, she looked down on me. I was just being overly sentimental!" Qin Ning said dejectedly.
"Let me help you!" Ling Xiaofei strode out, looked at Yun Shuang'er, and said with a giggle, "Sister Shuang'er, Qin Ning Gege is a very good person. If you don't marry him, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"
Marry? Regret?
What does that have to do with anything!
Qin Ning couldn't help but look at Ling Xiaofei with new eyes!
