NOVEL NEXT Chapter 200 - Jumping into the Pit
“I’ll take the ability cultivation potential enhancement potion first,” Zixuan said without hesitation.
This choice wasn’t just because his gold-type ability cultivation potential was better, but also because, during battles, Zixuan was more accustomed to using his gold-type ability.
Moreover, according to Mai Dongzi, after taking the cultivation potential enhancement potion and supplementing it with energy potions, he was expected to quickly recover the cultivation level he had in his previous life.
After more than half a year of adjustments, Zixuan discovered that the higher his martial artist cultivation level, the stronger his overall combat power would be when combined with his ability, so he wouldn’t slack off on improving his martial artist cultivation.
Mai Dongzi stayed at the Jiang family’s estate for five hours before being picked up by Ren Guang and Shi Zimo.
In Ren Guang and Shi Zimo’s understanding, Zixuan had become Mai Dongzi’s cousin.
As everyone knows, Atom is an illegitimate child. His father’s identity is quite clear, but his mother’s identity remains unknown, as she disappeared after giving birth to him.
So when Mai Dongzi introduced Zixuan as her cousin to Ren Guang, Ren Guang didn’t dare to ask where this cousin had come from, to avoid bringing up an awkward topic.
The sibling duo’s identities were clear to the public, and they could contact each other anytime, so Mai Dongzi didn’t need to stay around, and Zixuan didn’t cling to her either. He went on to do his own things.
After being reborn, he had lived quite casually, but now, with his sister in this world and the possibility that his parents might also be here, he could no longer live so carelessly.
Shi Zimo’s father is a businessman with political connections. Though the Shi family also lives on the Fourth Ring Road, their estate’s location and size are far beyond what Mai Dongzi could afford.
Shi Zimo’s cultivation had been stuck at the late stage of level five for some time, and he still hadn’t reached the point where he could break through. Without taking cultivation enhancement potions, he probably wouldn’t be able to level up anytime soon.
His cultivation potential was similar to Ren Guang’s, and originally their cultivation levels were quite close.
After seeing Ren Guang take the cultivation enhancement potion and immediately level up to level six, and after this training, he even reached the early stage of level six, with a possibility of advancing to the middle stage of level six at any time.
Seeing himself fall behind while others advanced, and knowing that his overprotective parents had stopped him from taking the cultivation enhancement potions, Shi Zimo had been feeling extremely anxious over the past six months.
“Your anxious desire to succeed will eventually turn into a mental demon if you continue like this. You need to calm down and trust that I can guide you to advance using sound therapy,” Mai Dongzi said in a gentle voice.
She infused her voice with spiritual power, subtly hypnotizing Shi Zimo and his parents, making them deeply imprint her words in their minds.
This way, when Shi Zimo took the cultivation enhancement potion and his consciousness became blurred, he would instinctively remember her words.
And when his parents saw their son entering a dangerous period, they would recall Mai Dongzi’s words, helping them reduce any extreme reactions.
Mai Dongzi had used this method on Zhuang Huaiya’s father and son with excellent results.
So, seeing how overly anxious Shi Zimo’s parents were about their only child, she calmed them down to prevent any extreme actions that could negatively impact him.
The results were excellent. With Mai Dongzi’s assistance, Shi Zimo successfully passed through the dangerous phase, not only advancing to the early stage of level six but also increasing his cultivation potential from 3A to S-level.
Shi Zimo’s parents were so nervous and worried while he was taking the potion, but when he succeeded, they were even more excited than he was.
After returning from the training, Mai Dongzi took the exam for a level six sound therapist license. According to the fee standards for level six sound therapists, the charges ranged from two hundred thousand to five hundred thousand. Shi Zimo’s father immediately transferred one million credit coins to her.
Having earned a large sum, Mai Dongzi was naturally very satisfied. After leaving the Shi family home with Ren Guang, Ren Guang said, “How about you come back to the Xi family with me today? Tomorrow, I’ll go with you to the Wu family.”
Mai Dongzi understood why Ren Guang said this.
She was not familiar with the Wu Yongzhang family background and didn’t know that the Wu family was also one of the top ten noble families in the Blue-Black Empire.
As long as the customers trusted her, it didn’t matter what their background was.
Mai Dongzi was invited to help Wu Yongzhang improve his cultivation, not to cause trouble at the Wu family, so it didn’t matter whether the Wu family was one of the top ten noble families.
However, the problem was that after Mai Dongzi agreed to Wu Yongzhang’s invitation, she learned from Tony that the Wu family and the Xi family had a very hostile relationship, even to the point of being sworn enemies.
Given this premise, no matter whether her help to Wu Yongzhang went smoothly or not, there was a good chance that it would end badly for her.
If things don’t go smoothly, the Wu family might cause trouble for her.
If things go well, the elders of the Xi family will probably start complaining, thinking she has helped the enemy.
The reason why Mai Dongzi agreed so decisively to Wu Yongzhang’s request, unknowingly jumping into the pit, was because she could sense that Wu Yongzhang was a relatively pure person.
He genuinely wanted her assistance and didn’t distrust her just because she was from the Xi family.
Because of Wu Yongzhang’s pure desire to grow stronger and his customer-first mentality, she couldn’t afford to tarnish her reputation from the start. After learning about the love and hatred between the Wu and Xi families, Mai Dongzi still didn’t decline his invitation.
Ren Guang’s suggestion was to accompany her to the Wu family, helping her bear the consequences of this tricky situation.
It’s important to know that Ren Guang, as the son of the Xi family’s head and the future heir, held a much more important position than Mai Dongzi. So, if he accompanied her to the Wu family, he would likely bear an even heavier burden if anything went wrong.
“You accompanying me to the Wu family would make things worse. I’ll be careful, you don’t need to worry,” Mai Dongzi politely rejected Ren Guang’s offer.
Mai Dongzi wasn’t just being polite. With the strength of her spiritual power, the Wu family wouldn’t be able to deceive her. It would be worse if Ren Guang went with her. He had the right intentions, but she didn’t want to drag him into this.
“Once I gain enough experience, maybe Mila should consider the cultivation potential enhancement potion,” Mai Dongzi said, returning the favor to Ren Guang.
“I do have that plan. I used to think Mila was too fragile, but over the past half year, we’ve forced her to cultivate. Surprisingly, even though she still cries, she’s been able to persevere. With her current temperament, as long as she isn’t afraid, she should be fine,” Ren Guang replied.
“Then in two days, I’ll go back to the Xi family,” Mai Dongzi decisively concluded.
Mai Dongzi planned to resolve Wu Yongzhang’s matter tomorrow morning, and in the afternoon, she would assist Zi Xuan with taking the cultivation potential enhancement potion.
The day after tomorrow, she would first visit Wang Yiyi, help Wang Yiyi, then head to Tony’s house to help him take the cultivation potential enhancement potion.
She didn’t have any plans for the day after that, so it would be a good time to return to the Xi family. Since Ren Guang and Mila had been so helpful to her, she naturally wanted to show her appreciation.
