The Eternal Supremacy

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened. Huo Lin'er walked out wrapped only in a towel while her head of wet hair was strewn across her sweet-scented shoulders and crystal clear skin which still had water droplets on them. She had a slight blush on her beautiful face with exquisite facial features, and her voluptuous body was spilling out of the towel which was very revealing. 

"Ji Mo, how did u come in ?" Huo Lin'er was shocked at the sight of Ji Mo. Moreover, upon seeing him holding her undergarment, her beautiful face instantly turned red. "Why are y-you holding my underwear!?"

"Ah? I...you...he," Ji Mo stuttered, "It...it fell on the floor, so I'm picking it up for you…"

"It was nicely placed on the table. If you didn't touch it, how could it have fallen?" Huo Lin'er's beautiful eyes had a lively twinkle. She pursed her lips and an eloquent smile appeared. 

'Er...that smile could mean many things…' Ji Mo's forehead crinkled as he thought to himself. 

"Ah!"

All of a sudden, Huo Lin'er realized that she was wrapped in just a bath towel and was actually standing there, talking and laughing with Ji Mo. Her already pink complexion turned extra beet-red as she spun around right away and ran back into the bathroom, locking the door with a clink.

"Er…" Ji Mo stood there awkwardly. 

That could have meant a few things. It seemed like Huo Lin'er had misunderstood him and he was in great trouble. He took a look at the fiery red dudou in his hand and inhaled its mild fragrance. Although he was a normal man, he would not commit such an indecent act of stealing undergarments. 

After stacking the dudou neatly from where he had taken it, Ji Mo sat and waited quietly at the table. A rustling came from the bathroom. Presumably, it was Huo Lin'er putting on her clothes. 

At the thought of Huo Lin'er's fiery personality and cruel ways, Ji Mo suddenly broke into a cold sweat and planned to flee. 

Bang!

The bathroom door flung open once again, but this time with a harder force and Huo Lin'er walked out. She wore a crimson red dress with a ribbon around her waist, swaying her slender waist like a willow branch. Both her long, porcelain legs were interlaced, and this charming lady left a trail of fragrance as she stood in front of Ji Mo.

Ji Mo looked up to see her perfect face only a foot away. She had charming features, kind eyes, and luscious red lips along with a queer smile at the corner of her mouth. 

He felt his palms sweating. Huo Lin'er's smile was definitely not a good sign. Perhaps, it was a prelude to her rage. He knew her all too well.

"Senior Sister Huo, I'm going to have a breakdown if you continue to smile like that." Ji Mo gulped and snickered. 

Huo Lin'er narrowed her eyes, still as charming as ever, and her red lips parted slightly. "Okay, please explain."

"I have nothing to explain!"

Huo Lin'er sat down gracefully and took a glance at the undergarment on the table while she blushed. Then, she put away all the clothes. She continued to look at Ji Mo, revealing a glare. "Sigh, although I wanted to lash out at you earlier, after thinking carefully, it's normal to have such mentality for boys your age. You're at that age where you're full of curiosity about the mysterious female body. Just don't do it again. It won't be good if someone hears about it."

That being said, Huo Lin'er cast a pitiful and resenting expression at Ji Mo.

"Hey, don't act as if you're that old. What do you mean boys my age, huh? You're not that much older than me, alright?" Ji Mo argued.

"Never mind. I won't pursue it this time, but don't do it anymore." Huo Lin'er sighed with a frown.

"What do you mean you're not pursuing it? Can you not act as if you know everything? It really was an accident just now. It's not what you think it is." Ji Mo was on the verge of crying. He thought that Huo Lin'er would be angry, but who would have guessed that she would say those things. What game was she trying to play?

Moreover, those words were a serious blow to a young person's self-esteem. If Huo Lin'er furiously lashed out, he would have felt better. However, the glance that she shot him made him feel as though he had committed a sinful and evil act.

The atmosphere in the room settled as Ji Mo and Huo Lin'er did not say a word and appeared to be quiet and awkward.

After a long while, Huo Lin'er said first, "Little Ji Mo, are you having a siscon?"

"I would con your sister! Can you please have some dignity?" Ji Mo gritted his teeth and had a secret thought. He could not help but admire Huo Lin'er's brain. She could actually think of the word "siscon", but why did she have to say "sis"?

Huo Lin'er rolled her alluring eyes at him and said, "Oh yeah, you're here to discuss something serious with me, aren't you? Or are you here just to …"

"Of course, I have something serious to talk to you about," Ji Mo said quickly, "Tomorrow is the day of the Hunting Competition. I'd like to hear what you have to say about the demonic beasts. Although I've read about them from books, I have never encountered them before. Are they directly related to the demonic tribe as the cultivation world says?"

Huo Lin'er looked up upon hearing Ji Mo's question and replied, "Of course, the demonic beast and the demonic tribe have a direct relationship. Generally, once the demonic beast has cultivated to a certain level, then they will be a member of the demonic tribe. There are also many species of demonic beasts. Some are transformed from wild beasts, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and obtaining self-awareness. Those are the most common ones. The second type is demonic beasts that have a unique bloodline and heritage, which are more powerful than the first type. Furthermore, they are gifted. The third type is the rare ancient species that can't be found in ordinary deep mountains and forests. The ancient species is very rare, and they usually live in giant lakes or ancient ruins."

After a pause, she continued, "The demonic beast's cultivation is divided into many boundaries similar to the human cultivators. In general, the beasts that develop Neidan are considered demonic beasts. They are more spiritual than beastly, and can even demonstrate inbred divine power. Once the Neidan is formed, demonic beasts can even turn into human form."

Ji Mo nodded since he had read that in a book. Under the heavens, cultivation was not only for humans but for all living creatures and races. Among these races, only the human body was most suitable for cultivation. Therefore, it did not matter if it was a beast or other living creature, but in the process of cultivation, it would transform into the human form to half the effort. 

"Then, what's the beastmaster species?" Ji Mo asked.

"The demon tribe of the beastmaster species has a special bloodline. Due to the limitations of its bloodline, they'll choose the beastmaster path by not transforming into the human form. They cultivate in the form of beasts. Although the progress of the cultivation is slower, they can unleash the power of their bloodline."

"Oh." Ji Mo nodded. After that, he asked Huo Lin'er a few more questions. She did not hide anything and answered him directly. As the questions and answers flitted back and forth, two hours passed before they even knew it.

"Alright, I understand most of it. Senior Sister Huo, if there's nothing else, then I'll leave to prepare for tomorrow's Hunting Competition," Ji Mo said while standing up.

Huo Lin'er smiled and said, "Okay, I was about to go out, so let's leave together." She then walked aside to pack some things. 

Ji Mo was speechless. Just a moment ago, they had an awkward moment which made him slightly afraid to face her sexy body and beautiful face. However, when he sought a chance to slip away, Huo Lin'er initiated an invitation that caught him off-guard.

Huo Lin'er packed adequately before walking out of her house with Ji Mo and headed towards Tianyuan Academy.
