Xi Shi thought for a moment, then parted her lips slightly and slowly spoke, expressing her feelings.
"In that case, why doesn't Miss Xi Shi stay at Qingyun Manor?"
"This also allows me to keep Wenji company and have some fun..."
Jiang Che took the opportunity to extend an invitation, directly stating a reason that Xi Shi could not refuse.
"Isn't this... a little inappropriate?"
Xi Shi hesitated, her expression uncertain. Although she really wanted to get along well with Cai Wenji, the young girl, Qingyun Manor was occupied by Jiang Che and his wives. It would probably be inconvenient for her, an outsider, to stay there.
"There's nothing wrong with it..."
"There are still many vacant houses in Qingyun Manor; Miss Xishi can choose one herself..."
"Yes, yes..."
"Sister Xi Shi, can you stay?"
"Wenji wants to sleep with you tonight~"
Cai Wenji lifted her head from Jiang Che's arms, blinked her long eyelashes, and looked at Xi Shi expectantly, hoping that the other party would agree immediately.
Although she didn't quite understand, the little girl could guess some of what her brother was thinking.
He must have seen how beautiful Xi Shi was and wanted her to be his wife.
As her brother's good sister, the little girl felt it was necessary for her to stand up and help him at this time.
Moreover, she genuinely liked Xi Shi, this gentle older sister.
"Does Wenji really want to sleep with her sister?"
Xi Shi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Cai Wenji in Jiang Che's arms with a face full of surprise.
"Is it true? Did my sister agree?"
Cai Wenji nodded her little head eagerly and asked with a happy expression.
"Since my younger sister has said so, of course I agree..."
Xi Shi reached out her slender hand and pinched the little girl's smooth, fair face. The delicate touch filled her with immense satisfaction.
Turning to look at Jiang Che, the girl had a shy smile on her face.
"Young Master Jiang, I'm sorry to have bothered you so much..."
.....................
And so, Xi Shi naturally settled down at Qingyun Manor.
After dinner, Cai Wenji secretly made a gesture to Jiang Che, and let Xi Shi carry her away.
"This little girl is really adorable..."
Watching Xi Shi's departing figure, Jiang Che smiled softly and sighed.
Although he never hinted at anything to Cai Wenji, the young girl was quick-witted and intelligent, and easily figured out his intentions, which is why she asked Xi Shi to stay.
With Cai Wenji's divine assistance, and given Xi Shi's fondness for the young girl, it probably won't take too long for him to win over this beautiful young woman.
Shaking his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, Jiang Che greeted Ali and the other two girls and headed straight for the training room.
With the sixth-grade pill bestowed by the Empress, tonight is the perfect opportunity for a breakthrough!
"Sister Yu Huan, how many days do you think it will take for my husband to win over this Xi Shi?"
After Jiang Che and Xi Shi left, Ali asked Yang Yuhuan, who was standing beside her, with great interest.
"It will take at least ten days to half a month..."
"This Xi Shi-like girl seems to have a rather traditional personality; she won't easily fall into Xiao Che's trap of gentleness..."
Yang Yuhuan seemed to be deep in thought before expressing her opinion.
After spending half a day together, she gained some understanding of Xi Shi's personality and roughly knew what kind of person she was.
Gentle and considerate, poised and generous, youthful and beautiful, elegant and dignified—these are all synonyms for Xi Shi.
Having come from Jixia Academy and seen much of the world, Xi Shi has considerable life experience. She won't be easily won over by Jiang Che, even though Jiang Che has many excellent qualities.
"Ten days or half a month?"
"Ah Li doesn't think so..."
"Within seven days, my husband should be able to win the heart of my beauty!"
Ali shook her head slightly, holding a completely different opinion. A mischievous glint flashed in her beautiful eyes as she spoke in a sweet voice.
"How about this, Sister Yuhuan, let's use this matter as a bet and make a wager, shall we?"
"Oh?"
"What do you want to bet on?"
Hearing Ali's words, Yang Yuhuan's curiosity was successfully piqued, and she asked with great interest.
"Well..."
"If my husband succeeds in winning over Xi Shi within seven days, then I'll consider myself a winner. In that case, Sister Yu Huan must grant Ali a favor that is within her means..."
"Conversely, if my husband cannot win over Xi Shi within seven days, then Sister Yu Huan can make a request to Ali..."
"So, Sister Yuhuan, would you like to gamble?"
Ali glanced at Yun Ying and began to speak eloquently, expressing her thoughts.
Ah Li didn't state his request right away, afraid of scaring Yang Yuhuan.
After all, for Yang Yuhuan, eating candied hawthorn or boiled dumplings was something she found hard to accept.
If he had said it directly, Yang Yuhuan would definitely not have agreed due to her instinctive caution, so Ali came up with such a pretext.
After Yang Yuhuan lost the bet, she took the opportunity to make a request, which Yang Yuhuan could not refuse and had no choice but to accept.
Back then, wasn't that how Yun Ying tricked her?
Thinking of this, Ali glanced at Yun Ying again, her expression inscrutable, her eyes somewhat playful.
Under A-Li's amused gaze, Yun Ying's pretty face flushed slightly, feeling quite embarrassed, and her delicate toes couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Ah Li's gaze was full of meaning, and of course she understood it.
After all, she used the same rhetoric when she tricked and manipulated Ali...
"..." "Do what you can? You can't force your sister to do things she doesn't want to do."
Yang Yuhuan looked at her good friend, with whom she had lived for many years, with suspicion.
Although Ali's smile was very gentle, like a spring breeze, Yang Yuhuan always felt that he had ill intentions and was definitely up to no good.
"Don't worry, sister. How could I bear to make you do something you don't want to do?"
With a smile in her eyes and without changing her expression, Ah Li proceeded to deceive Yang Yuhuan.
It can only be said that women are born actors. Ali's acting talent had long reached the point where she was completely unrecognizable, and Yang Yuhuan didn't notice anything at all.
"If that's the case, then I'll accept your bet."
"Let's wait and see!"
........................
Jiang Che was completely unaware of the bet between Ali and Yang Yuhuan, and had already returned to the training room.
Jiang Che pointed a few times, and spiritual energy manifested at his fingertips before disappearing into the surrounding void.
After setting up the formation, Jiang Che was satisfied and stopped. He sat cross-legged on the futon and took out the porcelain bottle that Wu Zetian had given him from the system space.
With the support of the isolation formation, no matter how much noise Jiang Che makes during his breakthrough, it will not be noticed by the outside world and will not disturb the ladies' rest.
Looking at the crystal-clear, fragrant pill in his hand, Jiang Che held his breath and swallowed it. Then, he began to cultivate with undivided attention, circulating the Yin-Yang Longevity Technique.
A faint white mist appeared around Jiang Che's body, with flowing Daoist charm, dazzling immortal light, and overflowing rosy clouds, making him look incredibly handsome.
The pill melted upon entering his mouth, transforming into boundless medicinal effects that began to flow through Jiang Che's limbs and bones, and all the major acupoints on his body.
The cycle repeats itself endlessly, eventually converging in the lower abdomen, where the powerful medicinal effects continuously wash over the golden elixir.
Jiang Che's aura began to rise steadily, as deep and boundless as the ocean, and an incomparably terrifying pressure burst forth from him, crushing the surrounding void.
A series of faint explosions could be heard in the air, and ripples spread. The oppressive force was blocked by the formation just as it was about to burst out of the room, bounced off the ground, and quickly disappeared into the room.
........................
Half an hour later, as Jiang Che's terrifying aura reached its peak, some kind of shackle on his body was broken, and the barrier between the Golden Core and Nascent Soul realms was shattered. Jiang Che's cultivation naturally broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.
The golden core materialized, and a phantom of the divine soul appeared in the lower abdomen, specifically in the dantian area.
Upon closer inspection, the illusory figure bore a striking resemblance to Jiang Che, being none other than the manifestation of Jiang Che's soul.
The phantom's shape was initially very faint, but after absorbing enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth, it quickly solidified, and a majestic and awe-inspiring aura emanated from it.
At this point, the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit was formed, and he fully entered the Nascent Soul stage!
"Hoo... rape."
Jiang Che exhaled a breath of stale air, slowly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed in them.
After getting up from his seat, Jiang Che carefully observed the changes in his body.
The changes brought about by the breakthrough in cultivation are multifaceted; the quantity and quality of the soul and even the spiritual energy within the body have improved by more than a dozen levels compared to before.
The path of cultivation is a series of steps, with the gaps between different realms being as insurmountable as chasms.
Even a difference of just one minor realm can result in a significant difference in combat power.
With Jiang Che's current cultivation level at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he could easily defeat his former self at the peak of the Golden Core realm.
The range of his divine sense also increased from eight hundred miles to a thousand miles.
With his divine sense spread out, no movement within a thousand miles could escape his divine sense detection. Within a thousand miles, taking the enemy's head was as easy as taking something out of a bag!
