Chu Mo had not expected that a casual joke of his would be taken completely seriously by the entire Ping Family.

In the banquet hall designated for receiving honored guests, as soon as Chu Mo entered, he saw a large group of young and beautiful women, fluttering about like swallows and orioles.

The expressions on the faces of these women varied, some filled with curiosity, some completely bewildered, some with eyes full of humiliation and anger, and others... uh, some were even casting coquettish glances at him.

What kind of situation was this?

Chu Mo was speechless.

He came to cause trouble, not for a matchmaking session or a beauty contest!

The Ping Family was truly peculiar. No matter how he explained, they refused to believe him and resolutely gathered almost all the young, beautiful, high-status girls from the family here.

Once the words had been spoken, all the senior members of the Ping Family breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they had severely injured Elder Ping Shu, a half-step Spirit Refining practitioner, compared to the Ouyang Family and the Fire Sect, this was already the best outcome.

These top forces, Chu Mo would definitely visit each of them one by one. Not for anything else but to ensure that they were thoroughly deterred this time, intimidating all of these top forces in the Spirit Realm once and for all!

Otherwise, there would still be endless future troubles!

Don't look at the Ping Family, who seemed very submissive now, including Family Head Ping who, in his presence, all wore a face of humility. They would absolutely not show even a hint of curiosity or killing intent towards him.

But that was because he was strong enough!

If it were someone else, just try and see? They would guarantee not even a shred of bone would be left!

Chu Mo was very clear about the nature of these major forces; therefore, he felt no guilt whatsoever. No matter how much sincerity he showed, it was what they ought to do!

This was the price of kicking an iron board!

If you want to stay tough to the end, you need to have enough strength to back it up. If not, when it's time to be soft... just be soft and honest.

The genius disciples from the Piaomiao Palace in the Mortal Realm will definitely start ascending to the Spirit Realm in the next few years.

Over in Jinxiu City, since he became the City Lord and made promises to the Three Great Families, Chu Mo would fulfill his promises, support the Three Great Families, and build Jinxiu City into a true powerhouse.

He did not want, because of him, when the day came that he would leave the Spirit Realm and ascend to the Immortal Realm, for everyone related to him to suffer the backlash from these top forces.

By that time, even if he was filled with resentment in his heart, he would be powerless to do anything.

Therefore, this time, it was necessary to completely suppress and subdue these top sects and clans once and for all!

He must make them feel the pain, make them feel the fear! He must make them dread the thought of him so much that even the idea of hatred would not dare arise easily in their minds!

So, bringing over a bunch of young and beautiful girls, is actually useless.

Chu Mo sat down leisurely in the seat of honor, with Family Head Ping accompanying him at his side. The old ancestor of the Ping Family was nowhere to be seen.

In such an embarrassing scene, he didn't even want to hear about it, let alone witness it.

"Fellow Daoist, take a look, the girl at the front, that's my granddaughter. What do you think? Beautiful, isn't she?" Family Head Ping was indeed quite a character; earlier, he'd shown a bloodthirstiness, ready to fight anyone who dared to offer a woman, as if saying he'd go all out. But now, he was the most enthusiastic of all!

These powerful individuals' shamelessness is something beyond what ordinary people can imagine. They change faces faster than flipping through a book, and their ability to put on a different mask... It's as if it were a natural talent they all possessed.

Chu Mo sighed and said indifferently, "Family Head Ping, let's talk about something useful, shall we? Haven't you seen the way your granddaughter is looking at me? She looks like she could eat me alive."

Family Head Ping had certainly already seen his most beloved granddaughter's unattractive expression and murderous gaze, but he pretended not to notice, saying with a smile, "Girls need to be coaxed. Fellow Daoist might not be aware, but ah, before all this happened, my granddaughter, she looked up to you the most!"

With that, Family Head Ping looked toward the girl with the grim expression: "Ping Ping, why aren't you coming over here quickly?"

Many eyes were now focused on the girl. Their looks were complex, filled with envy and jealousy, as well as schadenfreude, along with some eyes that were full of sorrow.

As Family Head Ping's most beloved granddaughter, Ping Ping was showered with a myriad of affections and was the most precious princess in the entire Ping family. But she wasn't arrogant because of the favoritism; instead, she was usually very gentle. Her talent was extremely high, and her green top-grade bloodline was exceedingly rare in the Spirit Realm!

Just a little more, and she would have been a Heavenly Genius with a blue bloodline!

In the Spirit Realm, Ping Ping wasn't so unknown. Many young talents from the Immortal Realm were aware of this genius girl and had been following her for a long time. Even some sons of major clans from the Heavenly Realm were desperately pursuing her.

However, Ping Ping understood her position and status very well; she knew she fell far short of those from major clans in the Immortal Realm. Even with her top-grade green bloodline, she hadn't fully grown into it yet. Therefore, she never engaged in any emotional affairs. This behavior didn't make those young masters from Immortal Realm clans angry. On the contrary, they pursued her even more fervently.

Naturally, Ping Ping had heard of Chu Mo, especially after the Realm Spirit, in a fit of anger because of Chu Mo, directly revealed the secret that this young man carried a top-grade purple bloodline, she became even more curious about him.

However, it was just curiosity. To say admiration, perhaps... there was a bit of that too.

After all, everyone likes to admire the strong, and she was no exception.

But she never dreamed that one day she would be connected with this Heavenly Genius who was renowned throughout the Illusory Divine Realm.

And... in such an exceedingly embarrassing way.

Dragging her heavy steps, Ping Ping slowly walked up to Chu Mo, and although her face was as cold as frost, she still kneeled and offered a bow to him, showing her good upbringing.

"Ping Ping, weren't you always saying you wanted to meet this Heavenly Genius who ascended from the Mortal Realm? Now that you've met him, why are you acting so reserved? Don't be afraid, Young Master Chu is a good person!" Family Head Ping watched Ping Ping with a smile as he spoke.

Chu Mo cursed silently in his heart: Shameless old man, to use your granddaughter like this without any sense of guilt. And with such a Heavenly Genius, are you not afraid I might actually sweep her away?

Ping Ping kept her face tight and her head lowered, not saying a word.

Drip, drip... Tears continually fell from her eyes onto the precious carpet of the banquet hall.

Chu Mo was at a loss for words, feeling as if a myriad of roosters were rampaging through his heart.

What have I done to you? Any interest is your grandfather's idea; what's the meaning of this aggrieved look? As if I'm the one forcing you?

Family Head Ping was not annoyed and spoke up, "Look, you're the pride of the Ping family, the most outstanding talent of our bloodline. And Young Master Chu, in the Illusory Divine Realm, his renown is unparalleled, with a future that knows no bounds. You two really should get to know each other better!"

Alright then, it didn't take long for 'Fellow Daoist' to turn into 'Young Master Chu', indeed a figure of an elder with precision.

Finally, Chu Mo couldn't hold back and glanced at Family Head Ping, "Family Head Ping, it seems to me that your granddaughter is quite introverted and doesn't like to interact with others. I reckon she's scared by my notoriety; better let her go back."

Family Head Ping forced an ugly smile and said, "This…"
