Miss Loser is too enchanting

After touring the courtyard, Dugu Qianye arranged a room for Zi Xiao. Then he went with Mo Ziqing to find Mo Chi and the others.

Having heard of Dugu Qianye’s return, Mo Chi and his group had been waiting in the hall since early on. When Dugu Qianye arrived at the hall, he and Mo Ziqing paid their respects to each one, and then sat down on the chairs below.

"Qianye, I heard you encountered an assassin outside the city?" Mo Chi asked first.

Dugu Qianye hadn’t expected that Mo Chi and the others would learn about it so quickly. It seemed that, despite its decline, the Mo Family still retained some power. "Yes, 7 Phantom Kings, 5 Phantom Emperors. The Feng Family really thinks highly of me!" Dugu Qianye said jokingly.

"You’re not hurt, are you?" Mo Lao San asked worriedly.

"I’m fine. Look, I’m all right, aren’t I?" Dugu Qianye replied with a calm smile.

"Who is that person with you?" Mo Lao Si asked.

"He helped me out during the attack and then just stuck to me." Dugu Qianye thought of the slacking Zi Xiao and couldn’t help feeling a headache coming on.

"It seems the Feng Family still harbors resentment towards you for the Phantom Beasts you killed at the college. You must be careful when you go out under the identity of Baili Xie," Mo Lao Er said with concern.

Dugu Qianye nodded and said, "I’ll be cautious. Have they taken the Marrow-Cleansing Pills I provided earlier?"

"Not yet. I was thinking of waiting for you to come back to deal with it," Mo Chi said.

"Then let’s call them over tonight," Dugu Qianye thought for a moment, "There should be fewer people paying attention at night."

After dinner, everyone was called to the courtyard. They whispered in groups of two or three.

"Why did they call us here so late?"

"Yeah, we’ve never been called together this late before."

"Coming here so late, has something big happened?"

"Could it be that we’re going to clash with the Feng Family?"

"Father, why have you called everyone so late? Is something the matter?" Mo Zihan, accompanied by several of his brothers and sisters, asked.

"Qianye, everyone is here," Mo Chi said, ignoring Mo Zihan’s question and turning to Dugu Qianye, who was standing behind him.

Dugu Qianye nodded and stepped forward, saying, "Everyone, please quiet down." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

As soon as Dugu Qianye spoke, the yard fell silent. Students from the college recognized Dugu Qianye, while others guessed at her identity.

Seeing that it was quiet below, Dugu Qianye continued, "You all must be wondering about my identity. I think you all recognize me. At Empire College, I am known as Baili Xie, and once at the Mo Residence, I was called ’useless Ajiu’."

"Wow—"

There was an uproar below. Everyone in the Mo Residence knew of ’useless Ajiu’, and who didn’t know Baili Xie, whose fame had shaken Empire College? No one had thought that the useless one and the genius were the same person!

"A while back, the Feng Family hurt the descendants of our Mo Family at the college, as you all know. Why do they bully our Mo Family like this? It’s because they’ve hired Beast Tamers to partner each of their members with a Holy Beast, which makes them stronger than us. Tonight, I’ve called you here to improve everyone’s strength,"

Dugu Qianye’s words caused a great stir, arousing excitement even in Mo Zihan and the others.

"However, the ways of the world are unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen in the future. Therefore, everyone must swear to always be loyal to the Mo Family and never do anything to harm it. Of course, those who are unwilling to swear can leave the courtyard now. We won’t hold them accountable. After all, such an oath should not be taken lightly."

After Dugu Qianye finished speaking, everyone looked around at each other, but no one started. Mo Ziqing was the first to stand up and swear an oath, and after seeing Mo Ziqing take the oath, others followed suit one after another. Even Mo Jian and the others swore the oath too.

"Good. Since everyone has sworn to be loyal to the Mo Family, we are now one entity. If we eat rice, you will certainly not be left eating chaff. I believe that the Mo Family will shine even brighter with everyone’s efforts," Dugu Qianye said with satisfaction, nodding her head. She then turned to Mo Chi and said, "Great Uncle, please distribute the elixirs to everyone."

Mo Chi waved his right hand, and the ground was instantly covered with jade bottles.

"These are Marrow-Cleansing Pills. Everyone must be aware of the matter where 5 Marrow-Cleansing Pills were auctioned for a sky-high price of 130 million in Baishi City. Now, each of you gets one. Line up to receive yours. Sister Mo Lian, you have taken them before, but these are top-grade Marrow-Cleansing Pills, so they will still be effective for you," Dugu Qianye said.

"I will help you distribute them," Mo Lian said. Mo Ju also came over to help, and the three of them quickly distributed the elixirs. After receiving the elixirs, everyone took them on the spot.

Soon, black greasy impurities began to be expelled from these people’s bodies, and the whole courtyard was filled with a foul smell.

Three to four hours later, some people completed their Cleansing Marrow. The glow of advancement flickered everywhere.

Dugu Qianye told those who had finished advancing to clean themselves up before coming back.

By the dawn of the next day, everyone had completed their Cleansing Marrow and, after tidying themselves up, gathered again in the courtyard.

Everyone’s Phantom Power had increased, some even breaking through levels, with Mo Ziqing advancing to a Level 3 Phantom King. At the very least, everyone had gained two levels.

"Father, these Marrow-Cleansing Pills are amazing. Not only did I advance, but I also feel much lighter and my Phantom Power flows more smoothly," Mo Zihan said to Mo Chi.

Mo Chi nodded and replied, "Good, everyone has made progress. However, the most important effect of these Marrow-Cleansing Pills is to remove the impurities in your bodies, clear your meridians, and accelerate your cultivation speed. Your future cultivation will be much faster."

"Really?"

"Heaven, this is truly miraculous!"

"This is really great!"

The crowd cheered.

"However, about this elixir, I hope everyone can keep it a strict secret. If the outside world finds out, it could bring great trouble to the Mo Residence, even a calamity of total destruction," Mo Chi continued.

"We swear, we will not leak this matter," the crowd swore in unison.

"Very good, very good," Mo Chi nodded in satisfaction.

Dugu Qianye stood behind Mo Chi and the others, looking at the outcome with satisfaction of her own.

Mo Ziyu approached Dugu Qianye and said, "Cousin, you’re so impressive! But is there something else?">

"How do you know there’s something else?" Dugu Qianye asked playfully.

"Hehe, we haven’t been dismissed yet, so there must be something. I saw you discussing with father and the others in the hall for so long earlier, what’s the matter exactly?"

"You’ll know in a little while!"

Mo Ziyu wanted to say more but then heard Mo Chi ahead calling for Dugu Qianye. Answering the call, she went to the front.

"Qianye, now that they are all ready, we can proceed to the next step," Mo Chi said.

"Okay," replied Dugu Qianye. She then summoned the various beasts she had tamed in Mengjiao Ridge from the Refining Demon Pot. Since the beasts came out in a mimicked form, their levels were not apparent, and the people thought that Dugu Qianye had brought out a group of Phantom Pets.
