Keyboard Immortal

later, since he was going to rely on her to fight for him often in the future.
He might as well take her out now so that she could examine her as well.

Even Mi Li jumped in fright when the ravishing beauty suddenly appeared next to her.
“What is going on? Don’t tell me there are people living inside you?”

“No, no! Uh…” Despite racking his brains for a long time, Zu An couldn’t find a way to properly explain Daji’s existence.
“Just treat her as something that I’ve summoned,” he finally managed.

“Something you’ve summoned?” Mi Li had a weird look on her face.
She had heard of summoning beasts, departed spirits, and even giant dragons, but she had never heard of anyone summoning an exceptional beauty before.

Mi Li’s face suddenly went red.
“You’re a freaking pervert after all!” she scolded him.

Zu An was taken aback by her sudden outburst.

What the hell? What on earth did I do wrong now? It’s this damned System’s fault more than anything!

“She isn’t conscious?” Mi Li was quick to notice the flaw within her after a short examination.

Zu An nodded.
“She’s lost both her soul and her memories.
She only has her fighting instincts left.”

Mi Li was curious.
“Judging from your tone, you seem to know her past identity.” 

“She’s Daji,” replied Zu An.

“Daji?” Mi Li twitched with shock.
“The one from the Shang Dynasty?”

“How many other Dajis are there in this world?” Zu An said with a bitter smile.

“No wonder she was hailed as a fox spirit even after a millennia… She is truly a stunning femme fatale after all! Even a woman like me is touched by her beauty.” Mi Li’s praise was effusive.
“But can this dainty thing fight? I’ve never heard of Daji having any fighting skill.”

Zu An couldn’t help but poke fun at her.
“Even a Qin empress like you has such incredibly high cultivation.
Can’t she be as strong as well?”

Mi Li blushed.
This did make some sense.

She considered this for a bit, then asked, “Is she a fire element cultivator?”

Zu An froze for a moment, then nodded.
“She should be.”

Daji could summon a nine-tailed fox, and the nine tails were all fashioned from flames.
What other element could she wield but the fire element?

Mi Li’s expression was one of realization.
“That makes more sense.
From what I know, a summoner often shares some of the skills of the summoned being.
She’s probably the reason why you can interact with the fire element.”

She said with a laugh, “I was wondering why a fifth rank cultivator like yourself hadn’t awakened any element yet.
This was it all along.
If you’re able to summon others like her who have different elemental skills, you might become the first person in this world to master all the elements.”

She paused, and then her expression grew strange.
“From what I know, you lost both of your parents at a young age and were later raised by your uncle.”

Zu An was perplexed.
He didn’t know why she suddenly brought this up.

However, he still replied, “To be honest, I still don’t know if my parents really died, or if they just went missing.
I don’t even know who they are.”

Mi Li gasped.
“There’s no need for any further confusion.
I think I know who your father is.”

“Who?” Zu An was stunned.

Mi Li looked at him strangely.
“The natural laws of the world.”

Zu An was stunned. What the hell?

Mi Li bared her teeth at him.
“If you weren’t fathered by the natural laws of the world, then why do you keep having such ridiculous luck? ‘Master of all elements’.
Do you know what a ridiculous concept this is?”

He remembered that he had asked such a question before.
Most people could only awaken a single element, and only a very select few could perhaps cultivate multiple elements.
Even so, that person would be considered a true genius, appearing once every millennia! If someone like him appeared, wielding all the elements…

Um… This really did seem like cheating.

Mi Li felt a shudder run through her.
She was clearly quite shaken by this revelation.
“People like us can only awaken a single element despite an entire lifetime of cultivation, yet a brat like you can somehow control all of the elements so easily! If I had met someone like you back when I was still alive, I would have ordered your death as soon as you were born.”

Zu An laughed in embarrassment.
“You wouldn’t have to go that far, right? I mean, my cultivation is progressing really slowly, isn’t it? Gaining strength is so much harder than for an ordinary cultivator.
Also, I have to pay a big price to summon someone like Daji.
I won’t be able to summon anyone else for quite some time.
There’s no way it would be that easy to master all the elements.”

Mi Li grunted in satisfaction.
“That makes me feel so much better.
But coming back to what matters most, the stronger you are, the better it is for me.
That way, my safety is guaranteed, and you’ll be able to forge me a body that much sooner…”

Midway through her sentence, she trailed off, and turned towards Daji.
“Didn’t you mention earlier that she was missing a soul?”

Zu An nodded instinctively.
“Yeah, so?” He quickly caught on to her train of thought.
“But she is my…!”

Before he could finish, Mi Li lunged at Daji, a huge smile on her face.
“Don’t be so stingy! I’ll just borrow her body for a while.
She’ll still belong to you in the future.”
