Verbal Seduction

Su Wei walked over to the unmoving pair. He looked at them in disgust. He turned to a guard. "See if they are still able to recover with basic medicine, if not, throw them out. I don't care for their condition, if they die, come tell me, if not, don't bother me."

He didn't care if they survived or not. After all, they had served their purpose. The Song family was now filled to the brim with riches; they had been selling the dresses that Ying Yue had made for a million silver per set. After a few years, she produced a dress or more a week, leaving them with over half a billion dollars from that alone.

Not to mention the Beast essence. Just a few 4th tier, low-quality beast essence would cost up to 10,000 silver. A high-quality would be sold around 10,000 gold or about 15,000 silvers.

After so many years of production, they had millions of gold and silver. Often, they would be traded treasures to have the girls make custom dresses with beast essence and priceless gems inside of them.

The people getting measured were measured personally by the little girl and were forced to wear thick blindfolds during the process.

Of course, when people realized that the designer Dark Heart was working for them, they began to curry favor. When they began to sell a bunch of different beast essence at a high level of 5th tier, they had been bombarded by loads of gifts from people trying to get on the Song family's good side.

The guards checked the girls for signs of life. Seeing only small, shallow breathing from them and their skin being charred to the point of falling off, they took them out of the dungeon and threw them into a horse cart. To the driver, they said, "Take these two and throw them in an alley somewhere. Leave no traces."

The driver nodded and accepted a pouch of gold coins that he would receive every time he did the Song family's dirty deeds.

The cart rolled away and about 10 minutes later, arrived at a small alley. The driver stopped the cart and threw the bodies of the two little girls inside and drove off.

Only moments later, an old, eccentric man went into the alley. He saw the little girls and noticed they were twins. He checked their conditions and knew that he could save them. Also, he was very curious. He recognized the driver as a man who sold products of the Song clan in the markets. He thought that he might get to hear an interesting story from the girls if he were to save them. So, he did. But little did he know, the story that he received from the girls would be one he was never expecting

-

Both master and disciple looked at Bella and Nessa with mouths on the floor.

"That really happened to you guys?" The old man asked.

The girls ignored him. Why would they tell them all this if it was not true?

"Wow! You are a level 5 essence cultivator? And you are Dark Heart designer?! Cool! Ying Yue, can you make me a hat? Yu Yan, can you make me a third tier essence?" The young man said.

His master gave him a hard slap on his head. "Idiot! From that entire story, all you got was that? Ask them later!"

Ying Yue shook her head, "I don't make hats anymore." She was really Bella, after all. It was Ying Yue who had to make them to survive. Maybe if she had the time, she would learn how to make them from the original body's memories if she was bored enough.

Nessa shook her head as well, "I plan to relearn Beast essence cultivation from the start because I seem to have forgotten how to make them partially from the explosion." Truth be told, she said that because she knew that even with the body's memories, she was still not familiar with them. She would learn much faster than others, but she still would need to start from scratch.

Bella gave Nessa a stare. "Maybe I will learn how to make beast essence too. Now that I am older, I'm sure I will be able to understand it."

"Yea? Well in that case, I may as well learn how to make dresses. That way, we can help each other catch up."

"Not that I would need your help!" Bella said back.

"Great! Because I don't need your help either!"

Master and disciple: "..."

"Can I ask you a question? Why do you fight so much? You have been through life and death together yet you don't seem to get along well. What's up with that?" The boy said.

Nessa and Bella's death stares were turned onto him. He received a slap on the back of his head from his master once more. At this rate, he would get a bruise.

Ignoring his question, Bella said "You know everything about us now, so, when are you going to tell us who you are?"

"I am merely an old man with average talents. This is my grandson, Jun, who is an average cultivator." The old man replied smoothly.

"Only one of those things that you said was true." Bella replied.

"Oh? What one?" He asked curiously.

"That you are an old man."

"I am not an old man!! I am the famous divine doctor, Master He! A genius talent in my youth who everyone would beg to lick my shoes!!" He shouted.

"Mhkay, cool. Never heard of you. Now, Who is your disciple?"Bella said, not letting him realize his slip up yet.

"He is my sole disciple, a little orphan boy named Yun Lei Qi- wait a minute… You tricked me!"

"No I didn't." Bella said as she took a bite of chicken.

"Do you know verbal seduction?" The disciple, Yun Lei Qi, suddenly asked.

"Verbal seduction? What is that?" Bella asked.

Happy to look smart, he replied; "Verbal seduction is a skill passed on by the siren race. A long time ago, a human saved the queen of sirens. As payment, she gave him the ability of verbal seduction. All descendants of this man were given this same ability. Supposedly, people do it unconsciously, until they learn to control it. This skill was given by the siren queen, a being which humans hate because they had the ability to convince them to agree on nearly anything, no matter how absurd it is. They were then killed off. The ability of verbal seduction has mostly died out. The people who have it usually are hiding or living in small villages, living a peaceful life."

"Well, I don't know if I have it or not. If I do, cool. If not, oh well. But why would you assume that I have verbal seduction?"

"Because you could easily make master mess up and say our identities. Without verbal seduction, this would have been quite difficult."

Bella didn't think she had verbal seduction, even in her last life, she was fluent in lying through her teeth without batting an eye. "I don't think I do, but you can just decide whatever you want."

The boy said nothing. He was already convinced that she had verbal seduction.
