"Striking a pose?"
What kind of lewd suggestion was this!
Bai Jingjing, Ling Lan, and Sakura were furious. If it weren't for Ji Mo being their Cult Leader and the fact that they might not win in a fight, they would have exploded on the spot.
While they had been proactive before, accepting minor advances was one thing, but such an outrageous request was absolutely unacceptable.
They weren't that lacking in principles or so casual.
"I won't,"
Ling Lan flatly refused.
She was still a virgin and wouldn't give herself away so easily.
Moreover, in a place like this, she'd rather die than agree.
"Why not? Listen to me, there are benefits."
Ji Mo lowered his head and surveyed the three Saintesses.
His pupils dilated, and he couldn't help but swallow. His nosebleed was about to gush out again.
Bai Jingjing, as a Snow Maiden, had skin as fair as frost and as pure as snow, translucent and dazzlingly delicate. It seemed as if a gentle pinch would draw out moisture.
Sakura was like a jade carving, delicate and slender, with a waist that could be held in one's embrace. Her skin was rosy from her fair complexion, and she exuded a faint floral fragrance that was refreshing.
Ling Lan was the most visually striking. It was estimated her family owned a farm, and she'd been fed plenty of milk and papayas since childhood. Her figure was absolutely stunning.
"No matter what benefits you offer, I won't do it. I have my principles."
Ling Lan once again refused righteously.
Sakura also shook her head. This... was really not acceptable.
Bai Jingjing remained silent, her mind in turmoil.
Previously, both the Wind Sect and the Flower Sect had gained immense benefits and greatly increased their foundations. Should she make a sacrifice for the Snow Sect?
Ji Mo frowned. He wasn't asking them to strike a pose to take advantage of them, but to verify something.
The four dynamic Dunhuang maiden paintings on the ceiling seemed to hide a secret, and he was eager to unravel it, hence the request.
There was a time limit for this place to be activated. If they missed this opportunity, they might miss it forever.
"Miss Jingjing, I'm in a hurry. Please, do me a favor."
Ji Mo looked at Bai Jingjing, who hadn't made a statement of refusal, and pleaded.
Bai Jingjing looked troubled. I know you're in a hurry, but are such embarrassing things something you can casually help with?
Besides, Ling Lan and Sakura were right here.
"I'll be quick, just a few moves and it'll be done."
Seeing Bai Jingjing's silence, Ji Mo took it as tacit consent and acted.
He chose the most intricate of the four murals on the ceiling and began to position Bai Jingjing, making her strike the exact same pose.
"No, I'm not ready yet..."
Bai Jingjing's face was filled with panic, struggling feebly.
"Scum! You're forcing yourself?!"
Ling Lan and Sakura were enraged. Even though you're the Cult Leader, how can you force us to do such things?
No matter what, they couldn't let Ji Mo succeed; they had to stop him.
The two exchanged a glance and, with tacit understanding, chose to join forces and attack Ji Mo.
"Don't!"
Bai Jingjing cried out.
But these words were not directed at Ji Mo, but to stop Ling Lan and Sakura.
Ling Lan and Sakura were stunned. They discovered that the panic on Bai Jingjing's face had vanished, replaced by overwhelming joy and uncontrollable excitement.
Well, Bai Jingjing, I never knew you were this kind of person.
So, you don't want us to ruin your good time.
Where was the dignity of a Saintess, the reserve and principles of a young lady?
Since they were willing participants, they naturally had no right to interfere. They turned away indignantly, not wanting to witness the scene that would make their eyes water.
"Ah..."
Bai Jingjing involuntarily let out a sound of mingled pain and pleasure, her heart churning like a stormy sea.
Her body no longer resisted Ji Mo's manipulation and cooperated with utmost obedience.
It was too miraculous! This posture was incredible!
After just a few movements, her blood and qi surged like a tide, her bones and flesh runes flashed incessantly, and she received a tremendous boost.
Moreover, she directly broke through a minor realm, entering the peak of the Immortal Sovereign realm.
And this was just the beginning. Her entire body was enveloped in immortal light, and as Ji Mo manipulated her, her aura surged like a tidal wave, her strength climbing step by step.
"It really works."
Ji Mo discovered that the Dunhuang maiden painting he had chosen was also radiating brilliance, emitting an even more intense light, resonating with Bai Jingjing.
He must have found the right way to unlock the secret of this place.
*Ding!*
A crisp sound echoed.
Some kind of restraint within Bai Jingjing's body seemed to have been shattered.
Her entire being erupted with vast imperial might, and her aura completely transformed.
"I've reached the Emperor Immortal realm?"
Bai Jingjing's face was filled with disbelief.
According to her own estimation, it would take at least another four to five hundred years of arduous cultivation, and if her cultivation proceeded smoothly without any mishaps, she might reach this stage.
But in reality, it only took striking a few poses.
Although the poses were embarrassing, they saved her hundreds of years of hard work, and her innate talent had also been improved. The benefits were simply unimaginable.
"Mr. Ji is indeed the best to me. I'll let him do whatever he wants."
Bai Jingjing's mindset had completely changed. Her gaze towards Ji Mo was affectionate and strangely intense.
Ling Lan and Sakura, having naturally sensed such a significant commotion, turned around abruptly, their faces filled with shock.
What had happened? Bai Jingjing had actually advanced to the Emperor Immortal realm?
Such rapid cultivation speed was truly astonishing!
Furthermore, her aura was still growing.
"Striking a few poses can lead to becoming an Immortal Emperor?"
Ling Lan and Sakura's eyes widened. This was beyond their comprehension.
"We misunderstood. The Cult Leader wasn't trying to take advantage; it's more like he's imparting an unimaginable inheritance to Bai Jingjing."
Sakura finally saw through the situation and felt ashamed.
They had judged a noble person by ignoble standards. Ji Mo, who was giving generously and selflessly, had been mistaken for a lecher. It was truly wrong.
"Cult Leader Brother, I'm sorry. Teach me to strike poses too."
Sakura strode forward, admitting her mistake frankly, then gazed at Ji Mo with innocent, pleading eyes.
Ji Hanhan, eager to uncover the secret, naturally did not refuse. He directly reached out and placed his hands on Sakura's slender waist, pressing down.
Not long after.
Accompanied by Sakura's "ying ying ying" sounds, another wave of imperial might erupted.
She had also broken through her bottleneck.
As Ji Mo had predicted, another mural lit up, resonating with Sakura.
"Cult Leader, I want it too! You can pose me however you like."
Ling Lan couldn't hold back any longer and rushed over, her face filled with urgency.
This was a heavenly opportunity, and she naturally didn't want to miss it.
As for her previous reserve and principles, they had been completely cast aside.
Ji Mo's expression wasn't as pleasant towards this woman who often argued with him.
"Pose me however you like?"
It sounded as if he was going to do something to her.
Considering your chest... no, considering your sincere attitude, I'll indulge you this once.
Think of yourself as a tool.
"Give me a golden rooster standing on one leg, arch your..."
Ji Mo began to work on the third mural, using it as a reference to teach Ling Lan how to strike a pose.
Soon.
Three of the four Dunhuang maiden paintings were lit up.
"Still one short."
Ji Mo murmured. If he could illuminate all four Dunhuang maiden paintings simultaneously, there should be a surprise.
Now, only one person was missing.
He recalled that the Grand Elder of the Moon Sect should be guarding the entrance to the underground palace. It would be perfect to have her fill the spot.
Ji Mo stopped his actions, intending to find the Grand Elder of the Moon Sect for help.
"Don't stop, I want more."
Ling Lan grabbed Ji Mo, preventing him from leaving.
She was at a critical juncture, about to advance to the Emperor Immortal realm, and Ji Mo was suddenly abandoning her. How could she bear it?
Ji Mo shook off Ling Lan's hand.
I have important matters to attend to, why are you causing trouble?
"Don't go. As long as you continue, I'll do anything you want."
Ling Lan even bit her lip and acted cute.
She then took Ji Mo's hand again and forcefully pressed it onto herself.
"Hey, stop! What are you doing? I have my limits."
Ji Mo panicked, hastily breaking free and quickly leaving.
Really, can't young ladies be a little more reserved? Why are you always thinking of taking advantage of me?
Outside the underground palace, the Grand Elder of the Moon Sect was nowhere to be seen.
On the ground, a pool of blood was a shocking sight.
