Chapter 672 Even surpassing your older sisters? (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
Moonlight Lake Tribe truly lives up to its name, a tribe shrouded in mystery.

It is situated in a circular snow-capped mountain valley, with the renowned Moonlight Lake at its center.

In this frigid land of the far north, the lake remains warm year-round, shrouded in wisps of white mist. The water is crystal clear and gleams with a shimmering blue light under the moonlight. It is said that bathing in it has miraculous effects, such as nourishing the skin, purifying the blood, and even enhancing one's cultivation.

The situation in the Moonlight Lake tribe is similar to that of the Frost Wolf tribe, where Li Chen previously belonged.

Due to the outbreak of war between the Daluo Dynasty and the Tiance Dynasty, the Daluo court conscripted almost all available shamans and strong men.

In fact, the Tian Ce Dynasty only used the forces of its Northern Military Region this time, which has already forced the Da Luo Dynasty to mobilize the entire nation to deal with it.

While the strength of the Tian Ce army was certainly a factor, internal discord and mutual obstruction within the Daluo were also key factors, making Emperor Ivan urgently need to resolve internal issues first.

Therefore, the Moonlight Lake tribe is now dominated by women, and Li Chen sees mostly slender and beautiful women everywhere he goes.

The arrival of Li Chen, the new ancestor of witches, caused a great stir throughout the Moonlight Lake tribe.

All the tribespeople, young and old, knelt on both sides of the road, worshipping with the utmost devotion.

For them, the ancestor of witchcraft has always been a figure existing in ancient songs and legends, a symbol of the spirit. Now that the living ancestor of witchcraft has appeared before their eyes, their reverence and excitement are beyond words.

When Yelena, as the representative of the tribe, first met Li Chen, she was clearly reserved and respectful.

She served Li Chen with utmost care, her every word and action revealing absolute respect for the Witch Ancestor, daring not to overstep her bounds in the slightest.

Accompanied by Yelena, Li Chen strolled through the tribe and casually asked, "Yelena, tell me about the customs and current situation of your Moonlight Lake tribe."

Yelena quickly and respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Witch Ancestor, our tribe has protected Moonlight Lake for generations. We mainly make a living by fishing, hunting, and collecting the unique moonlight moss and hot spring crystals found on the lakeshore. Many women in our tribe bathe in the lake on the night of the full moon in order to receive the blessing of the moonlight's power."

She described the tribe's traditions in detail, her voice soft yet earnest.

Li Chen nodded, then asked about her background with apparent concern.

Yelena lowered her head slightly and replied, "Thank you for your inquiry, Lord Wuzu. There are five sisters in my family. I am the second oldest. I have an older sister and three younger sisters. My older sister, third sister, and I are already married, while my fourth and fifth sisters are still unmarried."

Her tone carried a hint of warmth towards her family.

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Li Chen's eyes. He said gently, "Since your tribe desires greater power to protect its people, then let the cultivation journey begin in your own household."

Let me see what qualities you five sisters possess. Only when you yourselves become strong can you better lead and care for your people, won't you?"

Upon hearing this, Yelena was astonished that the Witch Ancestor was willing to personally test the aptitudes of her and her sister—this was an immense favor!

She was so excited that she immediately knelt down. Due to the hasty movement, her full breasts heaved violently, revealing a breathtaking cleavage under her tight-fitting long dress.

Her voice trembled slightly: "Thank you, Great Ancestor! Yelena, on behalf of her sisters, kowtows to thank you for your kindness!" Before long, Yelena's five sisters were all summoned to the best longhouse in the tribe and stood respectfully before Li Chen.

It must be said that their family has excellent genes. All five sisters are tall and slender, but they are also very well-endowed in the right places, with full and firm breasts. However, they each have their own unique temperament.

The eldest sister is named "Alyssa," and she has a calm and composed demeanor, befitting an elder sister. The third sister, "Polina," has a hint of feistiness in her eyes. The fourth sister, "Amfisa," seems to be somewhat introverted and shy. The fifth sister, "Adelina," is the youngest and most lively.

Yelena seemed to genuinely believe it was just a simple aptitude test; her expression was a mix of anticipation and nervousness, even a bit blank, as she didn't understand exactly what to do.

Looking at Yelena's bewildered yet devout appearance, Li Chen found it rather amusing.

This process of slowly guiding and gradually "developing" someone under their complete trust and respect seems more interesting than being straightforward.

He began the "examination," which was initially a proper procedure: he had them extend their wrists one by one, and he would extend two fingers and place them on their pulse.

He infused a gentle spiritual energy into them, carefully examining the width and resilience of their meridians, as well as the activity level of their bloodline power.

His expression was serious and focused, like that of a meticulous doctor.

After examining the area, Li Chen pondered and said, "Alissa, Yelena, and Polina, the three of you possess superior talent, with unobstructed meridians and active bloodline power. You are excellent candidates for cultivation." Upon hearing this, the three women's faces immediately lit up with joy.

He then looked at his fourth sister Vera and fifth sister Dalia, and shook his head slightly: "Anfisa's aptitude is slightly inferior, but she needs to make up for it with hard work. As for Adelina..."

His gaze lingered on Adelina, his brows furrowing slightly. "It seems you suffered a serious internal injury in your early years. Although you appear to have healed, there are hidden ailments deep within your meridians that are hindering the flow of your spiritual energy. What a pity."

Adelina's bright eyes dimmed instantly. She bit her lip and whispered, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I was seriously injured during a hunt when I was young."

Li Chen waved his hand, telling Alyssa, Yelena, Polina, and Anfissa to wait outside, leaving Dalia behind.

Only the two of them remained in the room. Adelina appeared even more uneasy, her fingers nervously twisting the hem of her clothes.

Li Chen looked at her, his voice calm yet carrying a hint of seduction: "Adelina, do you want to become stronger? Even surpass your older sisters?"

Dalia suddenly raised her head, her eyes blazing with intense longing. She nodded vigorously, her tone utterly earnest: "Yes! My Lord Witch Ancestor, I want to! I dream of becoming strong, so I won't be a burden to my sisters anymore!"

“However,” Li Chen’s tone shifted, his voice lowering, “becoming stronger, especially making up for congenital deficiencies and old injuries, requires a considerable price to pay. This process may be very arduous. Can you do it?”

Adelina said firmly, without any hesitation, "I can bear any cost! I'm willing to give anything to become stronger!"

Looking at the mermaid who had taken the bait, with a stubborn look in her eyes and a do-or-die determination, Li Chen chuckled inwardly, but was in no hurry to reel in the line.

He knew that forcing a beautiful, mature woman with a conservative mindset and stubborn personality would be pointless; the real delight was to get her to lower her guard and willingly offer everything.
