Chapter 388: Twisted

Seeing his ferocious expression, Zu'an had no doubt left and quickly used "Sunflower Phantoms" to dodge aside.

He had been caught off guard at the Chu family's residence before because his opponent's move was so unexpected. Now, being fully concentrated and on guard, he wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Old Man Mi sneered, thinking to himself, "I taught you Sunflower Phantoms! Isn't using it in front of me just showing off to an expert?"

So he confidently reached out in a diagonal direction, as his keen eyesight told him that his opponent would naturally appear there next.

In this situation, he could only capture Zu'an, knock him unconscious, and then perform the soul-possession technique. Although the success rate wouldn't be as high as when the target offered no resistance, he still had a good chance, and the risk was worth taking.

"Got you!" Old Man Mi grabbed Zu'an, but the smile on his face immediately froze.

At that instant, the figure he held suddenly shattered, and he realized he had only grabbed an illusion.

"How is this possible!" Old Man Mi abruptly turned to look at Zu'an, who was now standing on the other side.

He himself had taught Zu'an Sunflower Phantoms, and Zu'an was far less proficient in it than him. So how could it produce such an effect?

It had simultaneously created two figures, and before completely touching them, it was impossible to distinguish between them and the real body. The aura, energy fluctuations, and overall feel were exactly the same.

"How did you train this move?" Old Man Mi stared at Zu'an, assuming that Zu'an had stumbled upon a different variation of Sunflower Phantoms by accident.

Such things had happened throughout history. After all, there were so many miraculous cultivation techniques in the world, and many of them were created by chance.

"Is it really that hard for a genius like me to improve and create a new technique?" Zu'an was incredibly fortunate at that moment. Luckily, Empress Sister had improved "Sunflower Phantoms" for him; otherwise, he would have had no ability to resist Old Man Mi.

Seeing Zu'an's smug expression, Old Man Mi was secretly annoyed. His signature skill couldn't just be improved on a whim; this young brat really didn't know his place.

Rage value from Mi Lianying: 666!

Seeing his rage value, Zu'an quickly said, "Senior, is there some misunderstanding between us? I just don't want to learn your 'Step-by-Step Lotus,' so why are you so angry?"

Old Man Mi snorted, "At this point, I'm not afraid to tell you: This old man has taken a fancy to your body."

"Holy crap!" A torrent of unspeakable thoughts raced through Zu'an's mind. He quickly covered his backside and widened the distance between them. "Senior, I am absolutely straight; I have no interest in men."

But he immediately reacted: this guy was a eunuch. Even if he had such a thought, he wouldn't have the ability to act on it. What was there to be afraid of?

Realizing this, his hands immediately dropped from his backside.

But Old Man Mi didn't have the ability to be the active partner; did he want to be the passive one?

The thought made his stomach churn.

Seeing his expression, Old Man Mi probably guessed what he was thinking and became furious. "You brat, what kind of filthy things are you thinking?!"

Rage value from Mi Lianying: 781!

Fearing that Zu'an's wild thoughts would disgust him, he simply clarified the matter. "I'm not afraid to tell you," he began, "you just heard from Wei Dan that although he's dead now, because I took the Emperor's possessions for myself, there will still be a continuous stream of people trying to kill me. To put an end to all this, I've devised a complete solution."

"What solution?" Zu'an wondered, 'You're being hunted, why drag me into this?'

Old Man Mi sized him up, and a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Of course, it's soul possession and rebirth!"

"This body of mine is old and already incomplete, so there's nothing to miss about it. You, on the other hand, are different. You're young, and you have the most beautiful wife in Brightmoon City. The Chu family's power can also provide endless wealth and glory. So after I become you, I will not only completely resolve my own crisis but also have a bright and beautiful future."

"Soul possession?" Zu'an's blood ran cold. At that instant, he understood everything. This old guy had been planning this all along. No wonder he always looked at him as if he were food.

All this time, he had felt a bit guilty thinking about how he suspected Old Man Mi despite him teaching him various techniques. Now, however, he knew that Old Man Mi had done those things purely to keep him, his "cultivation vessel," undamaged.

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Old Man Mi chuckled, "You don't need to be so scared. With your cultivation, you won't amount to much in this life; you're just the Chu family's live-in son-in-law, living off women in everyone's eyes. But I'm different. With my cultivation and knowledge, I can quickly take control of the Chu family. Then both Chu family sisters will become my concubines, and in a few years, your name will be known throughout the world."

"You'll become a great winner and a great hero in the eyes of the world, perhaps even remembered for a thousand generations. Your name will be etched into human history. How about it? This deal isn't a loss, is it?"

Zu'an was speechless.

"Are you serious?"

Old Man Mi frowned, "Did I not make myself clear enough?"

"Damn you, you dead eunuch! You not only covet my body, but you also covet my wife and my sister-in-law! I'd have to be out of my mind to think this deal isn't a loss..." Zu'an could no longer hold back and unleashed a torrent of curses.

Old Man Mi's face twitched uncontrollably. Clearly, Zu'an's insults had infuriated him greatly.

Rage value from Old Man Mi: 444444444...

"You refuse a polite offer, so you'll face punishment!"

He couldn't be bothered to waste any more words and charged directly at Zu'an.

Zu'an quickly used the improved version of Sunflower Phantoms again, manifesting two figures that ran in two different directions.

He had already made up his mind: once he returned to Brightmoon City, he would seek help from the beautiful Headmaster. He would also bring in people like Ji Dengtu, inform Governor Sang Hong, and City Lord Xie Yi. This guy had offended the Emperor, so surely these official figures wouldn't ignore it.

No matter how powerful Old Man Mi was, he couldn't be a match for so many experts, could he?

Unfortunately, imagination was beautiful, but reality was harsh. He suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder; Old Man Mi's hand had already landed on him.

"How is this possible!" Now it was Zu'an's turn to be surprised.

How had Old Man Mi managed to find his real body? Was his luck really that bad?

Old Man Mi snorted, "You merely created two identical figures. Why would I bother distinguishing between the real and the fake? Wouldn't it be easier to just grab them all?"

The cultivation gap between them was too great, and the speed difference was naturally even greater. Once Old Man Mi realized one figure was fake, he simply attacked both figures simultaneously. With his current speed, doing so was not difficult.

He was about to use his power to completely restrain Zu'an when Zu'an suddenly twisted his shoulder, contorted his arm at an incredible angle, and then slipped away like a loach, escaping several meters away.

"Oh, the Pei family's Feathered Silk Hand?" Old Man Mi was somewhat surprised. He had also spent time in the capital back then and was quite familiar with the unique techniques of these great families, so he recognized it at a glance.

Zu'an gasped for breath. If he had been just a little bit slower, he would have been completely restrained as before. This time, there was no Wei Dan to distract Old Man Mi, and it would be difficult to break through the restraint again.

"It seems that Pei family girl is truly good to you," Old Man Mi chuckled. "Although you seem ordinary, your romantic luck is quite good. Don't worry, this old man will help you take good care of these beauties in the future. Speaking of which, since that Pei family girl knows Feathered Silk Hand, her body flexibility must be excellent. She's truly a treasure."

Zu'an's expression darkened. "Are all you eunuchs so twisted in the mind?"

"Haha, I'm just a little excited thinking about regaining a man's body soon." Old Man Mi smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all. In his eyes, the other party was already a dead man.

As for the restriction on Zu'an, once he completed the soul possession, he would be able to break it in no time, so nothing was a problem.
