Ding Yun, who had just clicked to receive the red envelope, felt a special energy surge out from the red envelope group the next second. Part of it attached itself to the edge of her soul, and another part integrated into her body.
As for the energy that attached itself to the edge of her soul, she could clearly feel it carried a seductive aura. It could be directly used as a special ability or as a machine. Using it would consume some mental power, which was likely the Charm Heart skill.
As for the energy that integrated into her body, it had undergone certain modifications to her physical body, removing some impurities and making it slightly more perfect. Additionally, the overall acceptance of her body towards mental power, especially towards the energy attached to her soul, had become much more compatible.
Theoretically, using the Charm Heart skill in the future should be faster and consume less mental power. If the energy attached to her soul was the software, then the energy integrated into her body was the hardware adaptation adjustment for Ding Yun, making the hardware (her body) compatible with the software to better utilize its effects.
After smoothly receiving the skill's boon, Ding Yun finally saw the messages posted by the other group members. However, since it was a free gift, it would be ungracious to nitpick about any flaws. So, Ding Yun quickly expressed her gratitude, and also thanked the members who had cautioned her to use it sparingly.
Subsequently, feeling it impolite to only receive without giving back, Ding Yun got up and quietly walked to the cabinet where the original owner kept her jewelry. She specifically selected several sets of valuable jewelry and sent them as a targeted red envelope to Charm Heart Meiniang as a return gift. Then, she picked out some other nice pieces from her collection and, based on the number of members in the group, sent ten share-hand red envelopes. Since no one else had sent her a red envelope, she considered sending share-hand red envelopes as a gesture of goodwill. Naturally, these had to be separate from the red envelope for Charm Heart Meiniang. And who would refuse a red envelope? Before long, those who had been lurking quickly appeared to claim their share of the share-hand red envelopes. Although the jewelry wasn't much to most of them, free items, especially those with a different style from their own, exotic items, were well-liked. They liked them even more if the craftsmanship wasn't as good as Ding Yun's.
[Moon Chang'e]: Thank you. This is the first time I've seen a butterfly gold hairpin made so exquisitely, just like a real butterfly. I always thought gold was vulgar and ugly before, but now it seems our craftsmen's skills are not good enough. We should communicate more in the future.
[Nine-Year-Old Empress Xiao]: The newcomer is quite polite.
[Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen]: Not bad, knows how to behave.
[Charm Heart Meiniang]: Haha, little sister Miaoling is indeed sensible. Unlike some people who took my skill and didn't even send a return gift, or even express thanks, and then blamed me.
[Cold Palace Empress]: Can you stop being sarcastic and passive-aggressive? If it weren't for your skill, would I have been relegated to the cold palace? Do you want the leftovers and scraps in my cold palace? If it weren't for the hidden dangers of your Charm Heart skill, would I be this miserable? Isn't it right to blame you?
[Step-by-Step Golden Lotus]: Sigh, speaking of which, Empress of the Cold Palace is indeed the most unfortunate in our group right now. Originally, although she was not favored, she was still the empress. Now she has been directly deposed and confined to the cold palace.
[Charm Heart Meiniang]: Actually, this can't be blamed on me. It's Empress of the Cold Palace herself. Before she used this skill, didn't she know her emperor was impotent? Moreover, doesn't that emperor have a son? Who would have thought his son wasn't his own? If you can't manage, why not use my skill again to charm some other people, like princes and ministers, and incite them to rebellion? Then you can continue to be the empress.
[Cold Palace Empress]: I beg you, can you stop giving me bad ideas? This skill of yours is completely useless on women. In this palace, besides the emperor, which man is normal? And my emperor isn't even normal. Those people you mentioned are not qualified to come to me. It's not that they're not qualified, they simply wouldn't come. Am I charming them across thousands of miles?
[Young Empress Dowager]: Uh, excuse me for interrupting, but can I ask a few questions? How did everyone join this group, and what exactly is this skill? Does everyone get a skill, or...?
[Moon Chang'e]: As far as I know, the methods we joined this group vary. Some just woke up one day and found themselves in this group. Some obtained a jade pendant, accidentally cut themselves, and joined. Others had a stream of light suddenly enter their minds. The earliest member to join this group was Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen. According to her, she joined forty-six years ago. I joined ten years ago. The latest, besides you, is Empress of the Cold Palace. She joined a little over a year ago and received the Charm Heart skill immediately upon joining. However, because I knew there were no cultivators on her side, and I also didn't know about other issues with the Charm Heart skill, I didn't remind her. And then she ended up like this. If you're going to use it, you should be a bit careful.
[Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen]: Regarding skills, I think I have the most to say, as I am the most senior member.
[Step-by-Step Golden Lotus]: Don't worry, you are the most senior. No one is competing with you for the title of most senior.
[Nine-Year-Old Empress Dowager Xiao]: Couldn't agree more!
[Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen]: Heh, yes. Although I am the oldest, even at nine hundred years old, I look younger and more beautiful than you who are thirty or forty. If you calculate by my ten thousand years of lifespan, nine hundred years is still young. It's equivalent to a human child of nine years old. You can just be envious.
[Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen]: Let's get back to business. This skill has two aspects. One is the special abilities derived from one's own special capabilities or special bloodlines. The second is abilities or skills acquired through later learning or cultivation. For example, I possess no less than a hundred skills, but most of them either require demonic power, the Nine-Tailed Fox clan bloodline, or will transform humans into Nine-Tailed Fox clan members. You fragile humans cannot withstand them. Therefore, for your safety, I can only refrain from sharing any skills. Also, Moon Chang'e is a cultivator. Although I think her name is a bit of a low blow to the moon, she does possess some skills related to the Taiyin lineage, such as Ice Muscle Jade Bone, Taiyin Mystic Eyes, and辟谷 (abstaining from grains). Among the group, only the two of us are truly formidable. The rest are trash. Like Nine-Year-Old Empress Dowager Xiao, she probably has some skills related to strategy. Empress Ci'an is similar. Step-by-Step Golden Lotus, as the name suggests, can manifest illusory lotus flowers underfoot when walking, at the cost of some vital energy. But it's actually quite useless. If her vital energy is insufficient, she'll die after walking a few hundred steps. Charm Heart Meiniang, as you've seen, has only one skill, Charm Heart Technique, which is her bloodline inheritance. It's rather mediocre. Not to mention its various limitations, if one's mental power isn't strong enough when using it, they can't charm anyone with a slightly firm will. Furthermore, it cannot be used frequently. If one's mental power is insufficient and they use it frequently, they're likely to go mad themselves rather than control others. The trashiest in the group is Empress of the Cold Palace. She has no skills at all. Even Human World Cooler has a special physique skill, which is that her body is warm in winter and cool in summer. She also married into the imperial palace, and her emperor is very cunning. He rarely sees her during normal weather; only when it's too hot or too cold does he summon her for intimacy. She's truly pitiful...
[Human World Cooler]: ...
[Charm Heart Meiniang]: ...
[Cold Palace Empress]: ...
[Step-by-Step Golden Lotus]: ...
[Nine-Year-Old Empress Dowager Xiao]: ...
[Empress Ci'an]: ...
[Moon Chang'e]: I didn't name myself. Wasn't I this name when I joined?
[Human World Songstress]: Am I considered among the "rest are trash" by the great Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen, not even worthy of a brief mention?
[One Smile Overturns a Nation]: Aren't I the same...
After reading Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen's explanation, Ding Yun was quite shocked. As expected, power brings confidence. Everyone in the group was insulted, yet no one dared to retort. Truly worthy of being the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon Queen who is only nine hundred years old. Perhaps she really is the queen of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan in the demon realm. At the same time, as the instigator of this topic, Ding Yun ultimately said nothing. She silently pretended not to see anything. She also stopped asking questions in the group and began to explore the Absolutely Beautiful Demoness Red Envelope Group on her own. She explored how to view her own skills.
