However, in Miao Yi's eyes, she was no different from a beautiful skeleton. Why would he care about her good looks? He was more worried about what this woman was planning.
In the end, the two of them stood face to face. After staring at each other for a while, Mei Ji slowly reached out and grabbed one of Miao Yi's wrists.
Miao Yi was taken aback. He subconsciously retracted his hand, but the other party didn't let go. He exerted force, but he couldn't break free. His expression couldn't help but change. "What is Bodhisattva trying to do?"
Mei Ji lifted Miao Yi's hand that was holding the Star Bell and brought it in front of the two of them. She pouted her lips at the Star Bell in Miao Yi's hand and smiled charmingly. "What? Are you scared of This Penniless Monk? "
Miao Yi replied, "It's not that I'm afraid. It's just that there's a difference between men and women."
Mei Ji laughed and said, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Besides, our Luocha Sect cultivates the Joyous Dhyana, the matter between men and women is not taboo, as long as we are happy, the more the better. If Lord Niu can win the favor of my sect's disciples, you can choose any of my disciples to make love with, including this poor monk. " She pursed her lips and gently blew out a fragrant breath on Miao Yi's face. As soon as she finished speaking, she loosened her grip and let go of Miao Yi's wrist. Taking advantage of the situation, she moved her fingers towards Miao Yi's face.
Miao Yi was expressionless. At this moment, no matter how seductive this woman was, he had no interest in her. He tilted his head back and took a step back to avoid her hand. With a stern expression, he said, "May I know why Bodhisattva has summoned me? If not, I still have official business to attend to."
"What are you afraid of? Are you really worried that this poor monk will eat you?" Mei Ji teased.
"Bodhisattva, you must be joking. I am not used to making such jokes. Farewell!" Miao Yi cupped his fists, then turned around and left without another word.
Mei Ji looked at his back and said with a smile, "Aren't you trying to find out if Dori Arhat was caught?"
Miao Yi stopped in his tracks, muttering to himself, 'Could it be that Arhat Duo Li has really been captured?' If that was the case, it would be a little troublesome. He slowly turned around and asked, "Does Bodhisattva mean that there is news of Doric Arhat?"
Mei Ji slowly walked closer. "We haven't caught them yet. Silent Void can't withstand Lord Niu's torment. Once we catch them, I will inform Lord Niu immediately."
"Thank you for your reminder, Bodhisattva." Miao Yi clasped his hands together and bowed. He didn't want to argue with this woman who harbored evil intentions. In the end, he still had to look for Silent Void. He turned around and left again. His attitude was a little rude, and he was certain that Silent Void wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
Mei Ji squinted. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't annoyed at all, but he was the son-in-law of Heavenly King Kou. He continued to smile and said, "Lord Niu came and went in such a hurry. If this spreads out, wouldn't this poor monk think that I didn't treat my guest well? I wonder if Lord Niu has heard of the Demonic Dance? Rakshasa Sect's Heavenly Demon Dance was a man's favorite. Generally, it was not shown to the people of the secular world. Don't you want to admire it? "
Demonic Dance? Miao Yi, who was already reaching out to pull the door open, paused again. Yun Zhiqiu knew how to perform the Demonic Dance, but he had never shown it to him before. He just didn't know if this Demonic Dance was the same Demonic Dance from before.
He glanced back at Mei Ji's revealing attire and couldn't help but think of Yun Zhiqiu's earlier attire. Although it wasn't as revealing as this, it was still shocking enough.
The coquettish smile on Mei Ji's face deepened. She thought she had moved Miao Yi.
However, Miao Yi had other ideas. Although he really wanted to see what the Heaven Demon Dance was all about, this woman obviously had other intentions. He didn't want to fall into the woman's control, so he turned back and opened the door with both hands.
Mei Ji's expression darkened. Suddenly, she said in a deep voice, "Lord Niu, you seem to be very interested in the Nameless Gate!"
Miao Yi's heart skipped a beat, but he remained indifferent. He pretended not to understand and strode away, leaving only his back to the other party.
Standing in place, Mei Ji narrowed her eyes without saying a word. Her gaze flickered.
Cang Hong, who was kneeling at the bottom of the stairs, stood up and walked behind Mei Ji. "Bodhisattva, won't you be alerting him by pointing it out directly?"
Mei Ji said, "He has the Kou Heavenly King behind him, and many forces are paying attention to him right now. Even Jade-Faced Buddha can't act forcefully. And we have no idea what he's up to. If we don't alert him and let him make a move, how can we determine his true intentions for going to the Venomous Star? Jade-Faced Buddha takes this matter very seriously. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked me to come to the phantom market personally. How could I just sit here and wait? "
Cang Hong said, "Bodhisattva. What should we do next? "
Mei Ji narrowed her eyes and said, "We need to know his every move. To do so, we need to get close to him …"
After leaving the Ksitigarbha Temple, Miao Yi snuck back to the headquarters via the waterway. He immediately contacted Yun Zhiqiu and asked him about the Demonic Dance.
Yun Zhiqiu was puzzled. 'Why are you asking?'
Miao Yi immediately told her about his encounter with Mei Ji in the Ksitigarbha Temple. However, Yun Zhiqiu didn't know if the Demonic Dance she practiced had anything to do with the Killing Rakshasa Sect's Demonic Dance. She had inherited it from Yun Aotian's concubine. She had asked her great-aunt about the origins of the Demonic Dance, but her great-aunt only knew that it was passed down from her ancestors. She never mentioned that it had anything to do with the higher realms.
Miao Yi: 'Then what's the deal with the Demonic Dance you practice?'
Yun Zhiqiu: 'What else could it be? It's just a dance used to seduce men. To put it bluntly, it's a type of seduction art. According to my great-aunt, once a man is seduced, he will fall in love with the dancer. Even though I don't know what's going on with Mei Ji's Demonic Dance, it's most likely the case. Otherwise, why would it be called a man's favorite? Be careful. Don't fall for it without even knowing! '
Miao Yi was puzzled. 'According to your great-aunt? Don't tell me you've never done it with other men … What I mean is, you should at least have a partner when you practice it. Otherwise, how will you know the effects? '
Yun Zhiqiu was clearly enraged. 'Go to hell!'
However, she soon calmed herself down and replied, 'When practicing the Demonic Dance, I definitely need to test it on men. Back then, my great-aunt was the one who found the men to test it on. Once the effects were apparent, she would bewitch them to the point where they couldn't control themselves, and they were all killed by my great-aunt. Not only were they bewitched, but every man who saw me dance was also killed by my great-aunt. That's why I've only seen the effects for a short period of time. I don't know if the bewitched men will really fall in love with me in the future. But since my great-aunt said so, as someone with experience, she can't be wrong.'
Miao Yi suspected that the Demonic Dance that Yun Zhiqiu practiced had something to do with the higher realms. After all, all the Six Great Mystical Arts could be used in the lower realms. If they were the same type, then there was no harm in learning more about them, just in case. He then asked, 'Is there a way to neutralize the bewitched after being bewitched by the Demonic Dance?'
Yun Zhiqiu: It's not hard to neutralize. There are a few ways to neutralize it. The caster can neutralize it in reverse, and the bewitched can also neutralize it when they're too frightened. There's also a way to separate the caster and the bewitched for a long period of time. As time goes by, the bewitched will naturally neutralize it … Niu Er, since we've come to this point, there's something I've always suspected, but I'm not sure if I should tell you. It has to do with Feng Xuan. '
Miao Yi immediately guessed what she was going to say. With a sour expression, he asked, 'Didn't you say that you've never performed the Demonic Dance for him?'
Yun Zhiqiu: Yes! I can assure you that I've never performed the Demonic Dance for him. However, I've had my suspicions ever since. The first time I met Feng Xuan was in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. At the time, I was dancing alone in the desert under the moonlight. On my way out after the dance, I bumped into Feng Xuan … Ever since that day, Feng Xuan has been madly pursuing me. After that, Feng Xuan's reaction after he was imprisoned in the Great Devil Realm disappointed me. At the same time, I began to suspect that he was actually a coward who feared death. Why did he still dare to pursue me despite knowing my identity and background? That's why I recalled the day we first met. I've always suspected that he was bewitched by the Demonic Dance because he saw me dancing in the desert.
Miao Yi was silent for a moment. 'Is there any point in telling me this now?'
Yun Zhiqiu: This is just one of my suspicions. Now that we're talking about this, I don't want to hide anything from you. I also want to take this opportunity to ask you something … Niu Er, I want to hear your honest thoughts. Do you mind the past between me and Feng Xuan? Tell me the truth. Don't lie to me! You can lie to me about other things, but don't lie to me about this! '
Miao Yi remained silent for a long time before replying: 'You mind, but you don't mind either. You don't mind because you haven't lost your chastity to him. As for mind?! I don't mind the past between you and Feng Xuan. Rather, I'm certain that the you of the past is different from the you of the Tempest Tavern now. The you of the past definitely wouldn't be sitting on a rooftop drinking wine and watching the sunset all by yourself. You weren't with me when you were in your prime. Even though I can accompany you for the rest of your life, I'll never have the chance to see that youthful Sister Qiu 'er again. This is one of Miao Yi's greatest regrets. Feng Xuan, on the other hand, was so lucky! But I can't blame you. You don't even know where I was at the time. No one can ask you to wait for someone who might not even exist after tens of thousands of years! '
Inside the room, Yun Zhiqiu clutched the Starbell tightly to her chest. She bit down on her lower lip so hard that it bled. Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks. In the end, she shook the Starbell and replied: 'Niu Er, thank you for telling me the truth. Perhaps Feng Xuan has seen me perform the Demonic Dance before, but I still don't want to show it to you. It's not that I can't, it's that I don't want to. Do you understand my feelings? '
Miao Yi replied: 'I didn't understand before, so I thought you were just keeping me in suspense. But now that I know that the Demonic Dance is a bewitching art … I understand! Sister Qiu 'er, I'll say it again. No other woman in my life can replace your place in my heart.'
After the two of them ended the call, Yun Zhiqiu collapsed onto the bed with tears streaming down her face. She started off sobbing, but gradually turned into burying her face in the blankets and wailing her heart out …
Meanwhile, in the phantom city, Miao Yi looked out the window and sighed. He then took out the Starbell and contacted Jin Man in Purgatory.
Jin Man was surprised: 'Demonic Dance? Yu Luocha's Demonic Dance? '
Miao Yi: 'Yes!'
Jin Man: 'The Demonic Dance is a type of bewitching art. I don't know the specifics because I've never experienced it before. However, I heard that the Demonic Dance originated from the Nameless School. It's meant for their Buddhist disciples to overcome their inner demons while cultivating. I'm not sure if it's true or not.
'Nameless School?' Miao Yi hurriedly asked: 'Could it be that the Jade-Faced Buddha was from the Nameless School?
