Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 780 - Seizing the Body Reincarnation
Chapter 780: Chapter 780: Seizing the Body Reincarnation [Fifth Update] Chapter 780: Chapter 780: Seizing the Body Reincarnation [Fifth Update] Li Xiaoyao fiddled with the dragon-shaped jade pendant in his hand. There wasn’t the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy from the pendant, but upon closer examination, it seemed to possess an effect that calmed the spirit.
A jade pendant capable of sealing the Dragon Soul cannot be made of ordinary material.
The ceremony to announce the Li Family heir had concluded. Regardless of whether the clan members could accept it or not, the matter of Li Xiaoyao becoming the Li Family heir was settled.
In the Council Hall, there were only three people.
Li Zhan, the Grand Elder, and Li Xiaoyao.
“Xiaoyao, perhaps you’re not yet aware of the advantages of being the Li Family heir, but soon, you will understand how significant the benefits this status will bring you,” Li Zhan said, looking down at Li Xiaoyao, more and more pleased as he looked.
Li Xiaoyao really did not know what advantages a Li Family heir would possess, but since Li Zhan had said so, the so-called benefits must not be limited to the cultivation resources of the Li Family.
...
Casually placing the jade pendant into his Storage Ring, Li Xiaoyao said, “Clan Leader, I have a favor to ask.”
“Hmm, speak,” Li Zhan said. He wasn’t afraid of the request, but rather afraid that he wouldn’t have any.
The Li Family would try to satisfy him as much as possible, as it was the best way to foster his sense of belonging to the Li Family.
“There is a young girl in the family named Li Yinghua. I want to take her away with me.” Having promised another, he had to act upon it, for Li Xiaoyao was not one to promise rashly.
“Li Yinghua?” Upon hearing this name, both Li Zhan and the Grand Elder paused for a few seconds before saying, “How do you know her?”
Li Xiaoyao was somewhat puzzled by their reaction. Li Yinghua was a most ordinary member of the Li Family, with average cultivation level, and average status. Yet this very average girl managed to be remembered by both Li Zhan and the Grand Elder.
Upon thinking this, the girl didn’t seem very ordinary after all.
Li Xiaoyao asked in return, “Wasn’t it arranged by the Clan Leader for her to attend to my bathing and dressing?”
“Bathing and dressing…” Li Zhan frowned slightly, not dwelling on this topic, and looked up to ask, “Is there something between you and Li Yinghua?”
Li Xiaoyao was already too tired to explain. Could it be that he really had the face of a lecher?
“We get along quite well in conversation, and it seems she would like to experience the outside world,” Li Xiaoyao said vaguely, but Li Zhan and the Grand Elder knew that he truly intended to take Li Yinghua away.
After pondering for a few seconds, Li Zhan said, “This girl cannot leave the Li Family.”
“Why?”
Li Zhan seemed to struggle with unspoken difficulties, and after a long sigh, he said, “Well, now that you’re the Li Family heir, there’s nothing that can’t be shared with you.”
From what was said, it seemed Li Yinghua bore many secrets.
“She is a body of misfortune.”
“A body of misfortune?” Li Xiaoyao had never heard of such a thing.
The Grand Elder explained, “The so-called body of misfortune, if explained using modern science, is akin to a jinx.”
“When Li Yinghua was born, her mother nearly died from hemorrhaging. Her father fell while walking on the road and almost lost his life. Family members who have come into contact with her all suffered injuries of varying degrees. Luckily, we discovered this early on, and I sealed her body of misfortune, which spared many clan members from disaster.”
Falling while walking and nearly losing one’s life…
How severe was that fall, exactly?
If it wasn’t for the grave expressions on both the Grand Elder and Li Zhan’s faces, Li Xiaoyao would have thought they were joking around and trying to amuse him.
“The body of misfortune is an extremely rare constitution. I have seen some information about it in ancient records, but unfortunately, the introduction to the body of misfortune is very sparse, and the ancient records that can be consulted are severely lacking.”
“I know of an ancient method that can guide the body of misfortune and turn her into a cultivation prodigy, but alas, the formula for this secret technique has long been lost.”
“Since she has been sealed, there seems to be nothing wrong with taking her out of the Li Family, right?”
The Grand Elder shook his head, “A seal cannot completely confine her body of misfortune, it can only weaken it.”
“On normal days, she lives alone in the furthest building in the east wing, with very little contact with others.”
Li Xiaoyao was somewhat dumbfounded. Did that mean she had been living alone for over twenty years?
If that’s the case, her somewhat strange personality is not too difficult to understand.
“If you are often in contact with her, I’m afraid that you too will suffer baseless misfortunes,” the Grand Elder said with a serious gaze, “You might be walking down the road and suddenly get struck by a falling stone, be startled awake from a nightmare while sleeping, or break something in the heat of passion with a woman… Don’t think for a moment that I am joking.”
Alright, Li Xiaoyao admitted he was scared.
Biting his teeth, Li Xiaoyao said, “I promised to take her out, and besides, I have always been very lucky, so please, Clan Leader and Grand Elder, allow it.”
The two did not agree immediately; they were in a difficult position.

As individuals who had personally experienced the body of misfortune, they were more aware than anyone how terrifying the bad luck that Li Yinghua, this harbinger of disaster, carried with her was.
“If anything goes wrong, I will immediately bring her back,” Li Xiaoyao said.
“Then…” After exchanging glances with each other, Li Zhan said, “Alright.”
Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief. He was genuinely concerned they might not agree.
“I will leave tomorrow, and a week from now, I will come to Jindu to find you,” Li Xiaoyao said before leaving.
“Xiaoyao,” Li Zhan called out to him, “When your cultivation level reaches the Mahayana Realm, you must come back. Then, I will allow you to enter the forbidden area again. This will be crucial to your future breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.”
“I know,” Li Xiaoyao waved his hand, not placing too much importance on it.
After he left, Li Zhan turned to the Grand Elder, hesitating before asking, “Should we really not tell him?”
The Grand Elder’s expression suddenly turned cold, and even his voice was icy, “He is, after all, not a member of our Ancient Li Family Clan. If we tell him the whole truth, do you think he would still be the heir of the Li Family? Would he still allow us to manipulate him?”
“You can hide it for a while, but not forever. He will eventually find out.”
“By the time he knows, he will no longer have a choice,” said the Grand Elder, his gaze deep and filled with a hint of madness, “He is the tenth heir. With just him left, Ancestor Li will revive! Once he enters the forbidden area in the Mahayana Realm, the soul of Ancestor Li will awaken, and then, he will possess and be reborn.”
“Ten generations of rebirth, by then, even the ninety-nine Heavenly Tribulations will not be able to stop Ancestor Li’s footsteps. He will break through the void, attain enlightenment, and become immortal! The Li Family will become the first family of Xuan Country, no, of the entire Mortal Realm!”
Li Zhan also became emotional with the future depicted, indeed, should Ancestor Li be reborn, their Li Family ruling the world would be more than just a dream!
…
When Li Xiaoyao returned to his room, he found Li Yinghua actually sleeping on his bed.
She was curled up like a little kitten, breathing steadily, with long eyelashes; getting closer, one could see a fine layer of down on her soft face.
