Chapter 1138: Yangshen Realm
Jianghu slang was always filled with grassroots ingenuity, yet inevitably unrefined and unfit for elegant discourse.
A tit was slang for a woman’s nipple. “Pointed tit” was used to describe girls who still had perky breasts, while “black tit” referred to older women, who usually had darker nipples.
Qi Xuansu was once a Jianghu wanderer, so he was a master in slang. But with his change in status, he seldom used such slang words anymore. Instead, he grew used to speaking in formal, bureaucratic fluff.
In theory, a noble lady should not know such vulgar terms. Yet Zhang Yuelu’s curiosity had once led her to ask Qi Xuansu about the meanings, logic, and origins behind some slang words. Thus, the moment Qi Xuansu explained what the word meant, the sharp Zhang Yuelu understood instantly.
Qi Xuansu also realized he had misspoken. He let out a light cough and lifted his head to gaze at the bright moon.
Only Little Yin remained utterly baffled, not understanding any of it.
It was similar to when parents accidentally talked about sex in front of a child. The child would often be curious and clueless, while the parents were evasive and embarrassed.
Qi Xuansu had not killed the female guard. He only knocked her unconscious. Since Little Yin had already dragged her over, it saved Qi Xuansu the trouble. He used the Diviner’s Soul Recall Technique to awaken her.
The female guard opened her eyes and immediately met Qi Xuansu’s gaze.
In an instant, her eyes glazed over as she fell into a dazed, unfocused state.
This time, he used the Shaman’s Bewitching Technique, which was capable of affecting another’s mind. It could be used either to beguile and control or to soothe emotions. Wu Luo excelled at such arts. Before being defeated by the Ancestral Heavenly Preceptor, she could manipulate millions at her peak.
However, this method had one flaw. Large-scale control required the target to open their minds willingly. Wu Luo controlled millions by exploiting human desires, enticing them in dreams with the Zhuyou Spell. Those people then used this technique to hypnotize others while they sank deeper into Wu Luo’s control. Through decades of accumulated influence, millions were bound to her. In sudden events like the Lion City riots, this method would be useless without prior preparation.
