Chapter 18

Booth 10, Cromwell auction, mirage city.

Miho told the assistant provided by the auction house to double the bid of the Rosen family's third young master while lounging on the comfy couch.

Tell me Fae, is there anything special about that gun

[Other than the fact that it has survived through two world wars in this world and has accumulated the grievances of all its victims? Well, you could say that thanks to that it became a weapon tainted with excessive yin qi]

Does that mean it's a perfect match for me? After all, I am a pure yin body, right?

[Please Miho, don't mistake your pure yin body and the yin that taints that gun.

Pure Yin bodies can only occur on women. Their bodies can perfectly synthesize with Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, and they are usually rare cultivation geniuses. Pure Yin bodies also have different grades. The purer the body is, the higher the cultivation talent. The extreme state of Pure Yin Bodies is having natural Yin Meridians. As the saying goes, things always reverse themselves after reaching an extreme, people with natural Yin Meridians would encounter all sorts of limitations on the path of cultivation. They would reach a bottleneck once they reach a certain cultivation realm…]

But you have a way to ensure I don't get subjected to these limitations, right Fae?

[What makes you think I do?]

'cause I know you Fae, you wouldn't do anything that could cause me any harm.

[I'm that easy to read? Anyway, with me here you don't need to fear these bottlenecks. When you reach the peak of a grade and are about to break through, the system will issue you a promotion mission. If you can complete them, you'll be promoted to the next level and your powers will face a qualitative change.]

So I can be super strong, really quick?

[Well that depends on the mission issues by the system.]

Though a breakthrough mission can be skipped with a mission completion card, Fae refused to tell Miho this, as he didn't want her to take the easy way out and become lazy.

Don't worry Fae, I'll be sure to do you proud by working really hard.

[I'm sure you will, that's why I believe you possessing a pure yin body won't limit you too much with me and the system assisting you.]

Fae, you said the extreme state of Pure Yin Bodies is having natural Yin Meridians, do I have those?

[No, well at least not yet, I think. Maybe after taking a higher grade body tempering pill and a higher grade purification pill.]

Pray tell Fae, what's the use of these natural Yin Meridians?

[There have been legends among the three universal civilizations that once these Yin Meridians are connected, the girl would become a cultivation genius, one not seen in millions of years. She will skyrocket and become a Great Empress. And it seems that in ancient times, there was such a legendary Great Empress. She had natural Yin Meridians, but by using some unknown method, she had joined up her own meridians. No one knows what happened to her, or why she vanished from the canals of history, but during her prime she was said to be unparalleled.]

"Anyway, that gun seems cool." Miho motioned for the attendant to come closer. "Double the current bid for that gun no matter what the price, until the other side gives up."

[Isn't it enough to just outbid them? Why insist on doubling their bids, that'll just anger the other party?]

It's not every day I get to see something that I like, so I'll splurge a little. It's also a good show of the wealth we've gathered over the years, everyone needs to know how capable you are Fae.

[Don't you mean how capable we are? We are a team after all, for better or worse.]

Yeah, you're right Fae. We're in this together for better or worse. I'm really glad you came for me back at the lab Fae. 

[You know I didn't appear out of my own will, right?]

"Let me believe what I want Fae,"

"...what was that ma'am?" The attendant was caught off guard by Miho's sudden words.

"It's nothing, hurry up and double their bid. I want that gun." Miho nonchalantly dismissed him.

The attendant looked like he had something to say but in the end decided not to. Although he felt the need to warn her about the oddness of the item, but doing so would go against the internet of the Cromwell family.

"As you wish ma'am." He bowed before entering the values into the terminal.

Four thousand credits.
