Chapter 385: Twisted

Seeing his ferocious expression, Zu An had no doubts and quickly used "Sunflower Phantoms" to dodge to the side. Earlier, at the Chu family, he had been caught before he could even react, primarily because his opponent's attack was unexpected. Now, fully focused and prepared, he would not make the same mistake again.

Old Man Mi sneered, thinking, "I taught you Sunflower Phantoms. Isn't displaying it in front of me like trying to teach your grandmother to suck eggs?" So, full of confidence, he reached out towards a specific diagonal direction, his keen eyes naturally discerning that his opponent would appear there next. In this situation, he could only capture Zu An, knock him unconscious, and then perform the soul-snatching technique. Although the success rate wouldn't be as high as if the opponent offered no resistance, he still had a good chance, and the risk was worth taking.

"Got you!" Old Man Mi exclaimed, grabbing Zu An, but the smile on his face immediately froze. At that instant, the figure he had grabbed suddenly shattered, and he realized he was holding nothing but an illusion.

"How is that possible!" Old Man Mi exclaimed, abruptly turning to look at Zu An, who was now standing on the other side. He had taught Zu An Sunflower Phantoms, and in terms of familiarity with the technique, Zu An was clearly his inferior. So why was it producing such an effect? Zu An had managed to create two identical figures simultaneously. Before making full contact, it was impossible to tell the difference between the illusions and the real body; their aura, energy fluctuations, and overall feel were completely identical.

"How did you train this move?" Old Man Mi demanded, staring at Zu An. He assumed Zu An had accidentally stumbled upon a different variation of Sunflower Phantoms. Historically, such things were not unheard of; after all, many miraculous cultivation methods in the world had been created by pure chance.

"Is it really that difficult for a genius like me to improve and create a new cultivation method?" Zu An thought, feeling immensely grateful at that moment. Fortunately, Queen Sister had improved "Sunflower Phantoms" for him; otherwise, he would have been utterly defenseless against Old Man Mi.

Seeing Zu An's smug expression, Old Man Mi was secretly annoyed. How could his signature skill be improved so easily? That young brat truly didn't know his place.

[Rage points from Mi Lianying +666!]

Seeing his rage points, Zu An quickly said, "Senior, is there some misunderstanding between us? I simply don't want to learn your 'Step-by-Step Lotus Walk.' Why are you so angry?"

Old Man Mi snorted. "At this point, I'm not afraid to tell you, I've taken a liking to your body."

"What the hell!" Zu An thought, his mind racing. He quickly covered his backside and widened the distance between them. "Senior, I'm a straight man, completely uninterested in men." But then he quickly realized: this guy is a eunuch. Even if he had such an idea, he wouldn't have the physical ability. What was there to be afraid of? With that thought, his hands immediately dropped from his backside. But if Old Man Mi couldn't be the aggressor, did he want to be the receiver? The thought made his stomach churn.

Seeing his expression, Old Man Mi roughly guessed his thoughts and became furious. "Brat, what kind of disgusting nonsense are you thinking?"

[Rage points from Mi Lianying +781!]

Concerned that Zu An's wild thoughts would sicken him, he decided to clarify the situation. "I'm not afraid to tell you, as you just heard from Wei Dan, although he is dead now, because I took the Emperor's belongings, a continuous stream of people will still come after me. To put an end to all this, I've come up with a perfect solution."

"What method?" Zu An wondered, "You're the one being hunted; why drag me into this?"

Old Man Mi sized him up, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips. "Of course, it's soul transference and rebirth!"

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

"Soul transference?" Zu An's blood ran cold. In that instant, everything became clear. This old man had been planning this all along. No wonder his gaze had always been like that of a predator eyeing its prey. He had always felt a pang of guilt for doubting the old man, who had taught him various cultivation methods. Now, he understood that everything the old man had done was merely to preserve his body, his intended vessel, from damage.

Seeing Zu An's stunned expression, Old Man Mi smiled. "You don't need to be so afraid. With your current cultivation, you won't amount to much in this life. You're just the Chu family's son-in-law, seen by everyone as someone who relies on women. But I am different. With my cultivation and knowledge, I can quickly take control of the Chu family. Then the Chu sisters will both become my concubines, and in a few years, your name will be known throughout the world."

"You will become a great winner in the eyes of the world, a great hero, even achieving everlasting fame. Your name will be etched into the annals of human history. So, what do you say? Isn't this a fair deal?"

Zu An was speechless.

"Are you serious?"

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

"Screw you, you damn eunuch!" Zu An finally exploded, unleashing a torrent of curses. "Not only do you covet my body, but you also covet my wife and my sister-in-law! I'd have to be insane to think this is a fair deal!"

Old Man Mi's face twitched uncontrollably; Zu An's curses clearly infuriated him.

[Rage points from Old Man Mi +444+444+444...]

"You refuse a toast, so you'll drink a forfeit!" He couldn't be bothered to talk any more nonsense and charged directly at Zu An.

Zu An quickly used the improved version of Sunflower Phantoms again, conjuring two figures that ran in two different directions. He had already made up his mind: once back in Brightmoon City, he would seek help from the beautiful principal, rope in Ji Dengtu and others, and also inform Grand Administrator Sang Hong and City Lord Xie Yi. This old man had offended the Emperor; surely these officials couldn't just stand by. No matter how formidable Old Man Mi was, he surely wouldn't be a match for so many experts.

Unfortunately, while his imagination was pleasant, reality was stark. He suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder, realizing Old Man Mi's hand had already landed there.

"How is that possible!" This time, it was Zu An's turn to be shocked. How on earth did he find his real body? Was his luck really that terrible?

Old Man Mi snorted coldly. "You merely conjured two identical figures. Why would I bother distinguishing which is real and which is fake? I just have to grab both, don't I?" The gap in their cultivation levels was too great, and the difference in their speed was naturally even more pronounced. Once Old Man Mi realized one figure was an illusion, he simply attacked both simultaneously; with his speed, this was not difficult.

He was about to use his primal energy to completely restrain Zu An when, to his surprise, Zu An twisted his shoulder, and his arm contorted at an incredible angle. Then, he slipped away like an eel, directly escaping several *zhang* away.

"Oh, the Pei family's Feather Cloak Silk Entanglement Hand?" Old Man Mi was somewhat surprised. He had spent time in the capital in his youth and was quite familiar with the secret arts of these prominent families, so he recognized the technique at a glance.

Zu An was panting heavily. If he had been even a fraction of a second slower, he would have been completely restrained as he was before. This time, there was no Wei Dan to distract Old Man Mi, making it far more difficult to break free from any restraint.

"It seems that Pei family girl is truly good to you," Old Man Mi chuckled. "Although you appear ordinary, you certainly have good luck with women. Don't worry, in the future, I will help you take good care of these female confidantes. Speaking of which, since that young woman from the Pei family knows the Feather Cloak Silk Entanglement Hand, her flexibility must be absolutely superb. She's quite a catch."

Zu An's face darkened. "Are all you eunuchs so twisted in your minds?"

"Haha, I'm a little excited, thinking about regaining a male body soon," Old Man Mi chuckled, showing no embarrassment at all. In his eyes, Zu An was already a dead man. As for any restrictions on Zu An, once he completed the soul transference, he would soon be able to break them. So, nothing was an issue.
