Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Shirong couldn't help but look at the beautiful woman again and wonder if he was feeling warmer due to her.

'Damn, her skills must be something else…' Shirong's assessment of Miao'er just went up a notch.

"Young master Shirong, this is my daughter Miao'er." Clan head Lu introduced.

A charming and seductive smile appeared on Miao'er's face. Shirong couldn't help but feel his heart stir. 

"Greetings, Young master Shirong. It's my pleasure and honor to meet you in person finally." Miao'er said with a little bow, giving Shirong the view of her deep valley.

"Ahem, likewise," Shirong replied.

"I believe Lu Peng already explained the situation to you?" Clan Head Lu questioned.

"Yes, father and I have an idea on how to figure out what happened to Young master Shirong." Miao'er replied.

"And what will that be?" Shirong asked.

"It is quite simple, really. We will simply counteract hypnosis with hypnosis, or more accurately some of my technique and skills. By comparing the effect, I would be able to devise what was actually done to Young master Shirong.

Of course, I will not go overboard and we can stop anytime young master asks me to. We will also have father and elder brother watch us for any problem." Miao'er explained.

Honestly, Shirong felt a bit anxious at letting someone else hypnotize him, that too willingly, but he knew that this was the quickest way to find out the culprits. If there truly was someone targeting and scheming against him, then it would be dangerous to let them hide in the shadows for long.

"Alright, I'll do it." Shirong affirmed.

"We can get started right away if the young master so wills it," Miao'er spoke.

"Young master?" Clan head Lu questioned with raised brows.

"Let's be done as quick as possible. I do not like to be schemed against." Shirong said with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

For a moment there, the clan head and his two children felt chills going down their spine as they sensed the change in Shirong's demeanor.

'Indeed, the heir of the Ji clan cannot be underestimated.' Clan head Lu thought.

'Ugh! Now I want to taste this man even more…' Miao'er thought.

'I pity the fools that tried to plot against Young master Shirong. Not only are they offending him, but in turn, they are also offending a great power of the Long Continent.' Lu Peng inwardly said.

Lin Wu sensed the change in Shirong's aura and could also sense the strange fluctuations that had appeared in his core. 

"Huh, what's this…" Lin Wu muttered to himself before taking a look at Shirong's core.

With the back door function, Shirong had no idea that there was someone peeking at this core and prodding it carelessly.

Inside the dantian, Lin Wu could see that the unique energy that was flowing through the channels carved into Shirong's core was behaving abnormally. Usually, it would flow in a specific pattern around the core, but now it was as if there were eddies being formed in it.

"Hmm, system take note of this and analyze it further." Lin Wu ordered.

~Ding~

TASK NOTED: Added new objective

——

Seeing that this was done, Lin Wu focused back on the real world where the four people were talking. Miao'er was just explaining to Shirong what she will be doing and what to expect.

"So do you understand everything now, young master?" Miao'er asked for confirmation.

"Yes, I do. Please go ahead." Shirong replied.

Miao'er nodded her head, and suddenly her demeanor changed. If she appeared to be charming before, now she straight up seemed seductive. If she were to walk outside on the roads, the passing men may just jump on her with hearts in their eyes, doing their best to violate her.

Shirong's eyes went dull for a second before returning to normal.

"As expected of Young Master, something of this level won't affect you." Miao'er praised. 

Shirong showed no reaction and simply gestured her to continue. Miao'er then went on to test a few more methods, barely any of which were affecting Shirong.

'His mental defenses are truly quite strong and his will power is unyielding as well.' Miao'er thought.

Finally, after nearly twenty tries, something worked. Shirong's expression became dull while he was talking and when it returned to normal a couple of seconds later, he repeated the same thing he had said; forgetting that he had ever said it.

Clan head Lu and Lu Peng's eyes went wide at seeing this.

"Oh, heavens…" Clan head Lu muttered.

Miao'er also furrowed her brows after seeing this and instantly recognized the skill that was used on Young master Shirong.

"Nian Yue sect…" Miao'er uttered.

She then canceled the skill she was using on Shirong, and he returned to his normal condition.

"Huh? What happened…" Shirong muttered in confusion before suddenly realizing it.

"You found the skill that was used…?" Shirong questioned.

"Yes… yes, I did. But you may not like it Young master Shirong." Miao'er replied.

"Just say it, it is fine." Shirong stated.

"The hypnotizing skill that was used on Young Master Shirong belongs to the Nian Yue sect. It is part of their signature cultivation technique, the Hundred Emotions Bending arts." Miao'er answered.

After hearing the words, Shirong's eyes went wide as well. He had never expected this to be true.

"Nian Yue sect? What sect is that?" Lin Wu questioned after being unable to remember from the records he had read.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The Nian Yue sect is a mid sized sect that is located outside the borders of the Ling Kingdom and is considered to be one of the subordinate sects that are controlled by the Ji Clan. The Ji clansman that is currently assigned to the Nian Yue sect is Ji Xiaolian, the second sister of Shirong.

Lin Wu's interest in the matter just increased by a few levels as he could sense the drama incoming.

"Oh man! We're going to have a lot of fun, aren't we? HAH HAH!" Lin Wu laughed.
