The Enchanting Gaze was an innate divine ability Mei Miao was born with.
As long as she wished, she could subtly enchant a person, and nine times out of ten, the other party would be unable to resist.
Because this was her innate talent, not some Immortal art; it could take one by surprise, attacking where they were unprepared, even more miraculous than Creation itself.
Over the years, those who caused trouble at Yunyou Garden ended up acting insane, all because they were enchanted, leading to mental collapse. Among them were Earth Immortals, even Loose Immortals, and not even True Immortals could escape it.
Mei Miao was not originally someone who liked to meddle in others' affairs, nor was she particularly interested in whether Gu Qingfeng was truly the real Lord Chixiao. However, since this fellow was swaggering about under the name of the Emperor and posed a great threat to her two little sisters, Tang Manqing and Liu Yue, Mei Miao thought to test him by employing her Enchanting Gaze.
But when she employed it, she found she had not enchanted him.
Not only had she not enchanted him, this fellow seemed completely unaffected, not even the slightest bit.
This left Mei Miao utterly incredulous. It was the first time she had encountered such a situation. In the past, even if she couldn't fully enchant someone, she could at least influence their spirit.
However.
What about this fellow?
Where was his spirit?
There was none!
It truly was not there.
Mei Miao could not sense any spiritual power emanating from him at all.
How could this be?
Just as Mei Miao was shocked and suspicious, Gu Qingfeng's words exposed her Enchanting Gaze, instantly causing Mei Miao to be greatly astonished. A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Gu Qingfeng in horror, filled with endless confusion.
She could never have imagined that her proud Enchanting Gaze not only had no effect on this fellow but had actually been detected by him long ago?
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Mei Miao would never have believed it.
"Looks like you've been reincarnated for quite some time now, you should have learned how to be a Human by now, right?"
Gu Qingfeng said with a smile, "After becoming a Human, you're still playing these Demon tricks. What's the matter? Not used to being a Human? If you're not used to it, just say the word to me, Young Lord. I'll help you reincarnate again, let you be reborn as a Demon. How about that!"
Whoosh!
Mei Miao instantly stood up, her face turning deathly pale in an instant, staring at Gu Qingfeng with an incredulous and fearful gaze.
If Gu Qingfeng seeing through her Enchanting Gaze just now had left Mei Miao feeling incredulous.
Then when Gu Qingfeng saw through her previous life's identity, for Mei Miao, it was no longer just a matter of disbelief, but fear, deep fear.
In her previous life, she was a Demon, and moreover, an enlightened Monster Immortal.
During the Great Calamity of antiquity, she too went with the flow, stepped into the Gate of Reincarnation, and was reborn.
Perhaps because she had attained enlightenment and become a Monster Immortal in her previous life, or perhaps due to virtue accumulated in that lifetime, after reincarnating, she was reborn as a Human.
However.
When it came to Reincarnation, even if one is reborn as a Human, the Soul is still that of the previous life's Monster Immortal.
The Soul is a person's origin, their foundation.
It is very difficult for others to detect.
Moreover, Mei Miao had always hidden her Monster Immortal Soul very, very deeply, never detected by anyone before. Even those great Daos and mighty figures could not sense it.
She truly could not believe, nor could she imagine, how this fellow before her—who had no cultivation to speak of, no Creation to speak of, who was neither body-snatched nor reincarnated—could have seen through her Soul. And from his words, he even seemed to know that her previous life was a fox Demon.
No matter how hard Mei Miao racked her brains, she couldn't figure it out. She stood there dumbfounded, her heart filled with shock and terror.
Indeed.
Even the deepest secret within her heart, her origin Soul, had been seen through by someone. How could this not shock Mei Miao? How could it not terrify her?
"Sister Miao, what's wrong with you?"
Neither Tang Manqing nor Liu Yue knew that Mei Miao's previous life identity was that of a Monster Immortal, so naturally they couldn't understand the implied meaning in Gu Qingfeng's words. But both were intelligent people. Seeing Mei Miao's expression so grave, they knew something must have happened.
"What did you, this fraud, do to Sister Miao?"
Tang Manqing demanded.
"Little niece, I've been sitting right here all along, what could I have done?"
"But why is Sister Miao..." Tang Manqing was about to continue when she was interrupted by Mei Miao. Mei Miao composed herself, forcing an awkward smile, and said, "It has nothing to do with Young Lord Gu. I just remembered some things earlier and was a bit distracted."
Then, she turned to Gu Qingfeng and said, "Young Lord Gu, I was quite rude earlier. I hope you won't take offense. This humble girl offers you a toast."
"No problem, no problem."
Seeing this scene, Tang Manqing and Liu Yue were very puzzled. How had it come to this in just a short while, with Sister Miao both apologizing and offering a toast?
Just as the two were bewildered, they saw Sister Miao casually flip her hand, and an exquisite white jade bottle appeared in her palm. She stood up and personally poured a cup of wine for Gu Qingfeng, saying, "Young Lord Gu, this is the Heavenly Mystic Snowflower Dew I brewed."
Seeing this Heavenly Mystic Snowflower Dew, Tang Manqing and Liu Yue's eyes widened. Others might not know, but the two of them knew perfectly well. This Heavenly Mystic Snowflower Dew was a flower dew Sister Miao brewed using Heavenly Mystic Stars. It was as precious as could be. Last time, they each only drank a single drop, and not only did their cultivation increase greatly, their strength also surged dramatically. They knew full well how precious this Heavenly Mystic Snowflower Dew was.
That's right!
Just one drop.
Both knew the Heavenly Mystic Snowflower Dew was a treasure and had been begging Sister Miao if they could have another drop. But it was just begging. No matter how they pleaded, Sister Miao never agreed again, because the Heavenly Mystic Snowflower Dew was too precious; drinking one drop meant one less drop.
And now?
What Tang Manqing and the other couldn't believe was that Sister Miao had actually poured a full cup for this fraud!
Heavens!
What on earth was going on?
Had Sister Miao gone mad?
Or lost her mind?
Was Sister Miao testing this fellow?
If that were really the case, wasn't this too heavy an investment?
Watching Gu Qingfeng pick up the wine cup and down the full cup of Heavenly Mystic Snowflower Dew in one gulp, Tang Manqing and Liu Yue both felt it was a terrible waste, their hearts bleeding, aching with pain, and feeling even more reluctant on Sister Miao's behalf.
"You brewed this stuff?"
After drinking a cup, Gu Qingfeng smacked his lips.
"I wonder how the Young Lord finds it?"
Mei Miao picked up the white jade bottle again and poured another cup for Gu Qingfeng.
"Passable, drinkable enough. Just the flavor is a bit bland."
At this, Tang Manqing could no longer hold back. A pair of beautiful eyes glared fiercely as she scolded, "The flavor is a bit bland?!
You think this is plain water? This is flower dew Sister Miao brewed from Heavenly Mystic Stars! Do you even understand what Heavenly Mystic Stars are, you fellow!"
"Girl, do not be disrespectful to Young Lord Gu."
Mei Miao seemed not to mind at all, saying, "It's just a bottle of Heavenly Mystic Snowflower Dew. Not to mention letting Young Lord Gu drink two cups, if the Young Lord likes it, I could give this entire bottle of Heavenly Mystic Snowflower Dew to him."
