Chapter 70: Act, Keep Acting for Me
Qi Huang was terrified, her only comfort was that she wouldn’t be killed immediately, because the other party would definitely interrogate her about the whereabouts of the Golden Life Flower.
“If I refuse to say, I might live a little longer.”
Qi Huang was calculating.
“But what if they torture me or try to tempt me? Can I endure it?”
Qi Huang then felt a little guilty. Torture was one thing, she could grit her teeth and endure it, but if it was temptation, it was hard to say. At least with the beauty of those Immortal Elders, she was sure she couldn’t resist the temptation.
“But what good is it if I can’t resist? Even if I want to confess and get a lighter sentence, I have nothing to confess!”
Qi Huang felt a little dejected, after all, she herself didn’t know how the scent of the Golden Life Flower on her body came about.
“If I don’t confess, will they eat me up!”
Qi Huang was a little worried, completely forgetting that she was already a woman now, how could they send Immortal Elders to seduce her?
Of course, it was possible to send a few handsome Immortal Elders.
Qi Huang’s thoughts wandered like this, and she was quickly escorted into the HongHua Sect by several Immortal Elders.
Because they couldn’t be 100% sure that Qi Huang was an impostor, the several Immortal Elders didn’t make a big scene.
This way, Qi Huang, the “impostor,” enjoyed the treatment of Hong Ling Immortal Elder.
“Hello, Junior Sister Hong Ling!”
“Junior Sister Hong Ling, I brought some local specialties from home, let me give you some!”
“Senior Sister Hong Ling, can you give me an autograph? My parents really like you.”
…
People along the way kept greeting her, very enthusiastically.
“Hello, uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters, thank you for your hard work!”
Qi Huang was very “polite.” Even though she was in trouble, she replied to everyone one by one. Anyway, she was about to be exposed, so why should she offend people by acting aloof? If she acted more approachable, perhaps someone would say a good word for her, the impostor!
At first, Qi Huang was just being polite, but over time she got carried away, her little face flushed with excitement, and she even wanted to give out a few autographs on behalf of Hong Ling Immortal Elder.
“You impostor, you really haven’t changed! You’re still impersonating Junior Sister at this time?”
Shen Yuan was so angry that her teeth itched.
“But people are greeting me, I can’t just ignore them, right?”
Qi Huang’s face was awkward, but she still argued forcefully.
The several Immortal Elders were too lazy to bother with her, but their swords in their hands were implicitly ready to be drawn.
Qi Huang dared not get carried away any further, so she honestly continued on her way.
Not long after, Qi Huang was escorted by several Immortal Elders into the Orchid Courtyard and arrived in front of Xu Mei’s room.
“Master, the impostor has been caught.”
Eldest Senior Sister Ruan Lingyu walked over and knocked on the wooden door to report.
“I said I’m not an impostor!”
Qi Huang argued as a matter of routine, as long as she didn’t see the real person, she wouldn’t admit it to death.
“Creak!”
The door opened, and Xu Mei walked out, then narrowed her phoenix eyes and glanced at Qi Huang, then said with some displeasure to her eldest disciple beside her, “Didn’t I tell you to deal with her after you found out the reason? Why did you bring her back? This HongHua Sect doesn’t support idle people.”
“Master, when we caught her, we found that she had a very strong scent of Golden Life Flower on her, but she refused to provide any clues.”
Ruan Lingyu quickly explained.
“What? Golden Life Flower?”
Xu Mei’s expression changed, and then she quickly stepped forward and sniffed towards Qi Huang.
“It is indeed the scent of the Golden Life Flower! Heaven truly blesses my HongHua Sect!”
Xu Mei was overjoyed, then asked the disciple beside her, “Then why didn’t you force her to say it? This shouldn’t be difficult for Immortal Sect disciples, right?”
“Because she looks too much like Junior Sister, we couldn’t be 100% sure, so we couldn’t do anything.”
Ruan Lingyu’s expression became awkward.
“Nonsense! You have been inseparable from Hong Ling since childhood, how could you not tell the difference between real and fake?”
Xu Mei reprimanded, then shifted her attention to Huang Qi, and observed him in a circle, her expression becoming more and more surprised.
“I must say, your disguise skills are indeed seamless!”
After a long time, Xu Mei exclaimed.
“Master, I am your disciple, there is no disguise.”
Qi Huang shamelessly continued to muddy the waters.
“Heh heh, my disciple is at home right now. If you are her, then who is she?”
Xu Mei said noncommittally, then sneered, “Seeing that you are so fearless, it seems you are certain that we cannot distinguish the truth from the false. But you might not know, a person’s appearance can be disguised as any form, but the soul can never be disguised!”
“Soul? How could I forget about this?”
Qi Huang’s breathing completely stopped when she heard this. Indeed, although her body had been feminized, her soul might not have changed. It was likely still that male chauvinist, and once someone saw it, it wouldn’t be just a disguise being seen through, her true identity would be exposed immediately.
“What’s wrong? Feeling guilty? You impostor, wait for death!”
Shen Yuan said with a smug smile, and the Immortal Elders beside her also looked at Qi Huang as if she were already dead.
“What to do?”
Qi Huang was indeed feeling guilty, so she quickly released her spiritual sense to cover her body. This was also the first time she had observed her own soul. Then, she opened her eyes in disbelief. She saw a similarly beautiful and tall semi-transparent graceful figure perfectly fused with this female body. If that wasn’t her soul, then what was it?
“How is this possible? That mask can feminize the soul too?”
Qi Huang almost thought she was seeing things, so she scanned back and forth uncertainly.
At this moment, Xu Mei had already turned and walked back into the house. When she reappeared, she was holding a jade bottle in her hand.
“Do you know what this is? Cat’s Eye Tears! The main ingredient is the tears of the Nine Nether Demonic Cat, and the Nine Nether Demonic Cat specializes in preying on lonely souls and ghosts. So as long as you drop a drop into your eyes, no matter whether it’s a demon, a ghost, or a human soul, it will be hidden!”
Xu Mei held up the jade bottle and introduced it confidently.
Qi Huang almost burst out laughing when she heard this, because at this moment she had confirmed that her soul had been 100% feminized. Even if you saw it, so what?
“Master, why don’t you let Junior Sister identify herself? She has already reached the Guiyi Realm, so she doesn’t need Cat’s Eye Tears!”
“Yes! Our Cat’s Eye Tears are already scarce. If we use them on her, how will we defeat demons and monsters in the future?”
“Yes, why don’t we find Sect Leader Qin to see?”
…
The female disciples below panicked when they saw Xu Mei preparing to use her trump card, so they all advised.
Qi Huang looked at her several good-for-nothing senior sisters, and felt a little unbearable in her heart. “It seems that this good-for-nothing master doesn’t have much Cat’s Eye Tears left. If they are wasted on me for nothing, then what will these Immortal Elders do? Going to defeat demons and monsters empty-handed is no different from seeking death!”
“Hong Ling is the person involved after all. It lacks convincing power for her to identify herself. As for Sect Leader Qin, I don’t know where she ran off to. I can’t wait any longer, I must expose this impostor immediately!”
Xu Mei said almost maniacally, and picked up the Cat’s Eye Tears to pour them.
“Master, I am really Hong Ling. Please don’t waste the Cat’s Eye Tears on me, otherwise what will Senior Sisters do when they defeat demons and monsters in the future?”
Qi Huang quickly said kindly.
“What? Feeling guilty, aren’t you?”
Xu Mei mocked.
“I’m not feeling guilty, I’m thinking for everyone!”
Qi Huang explained earnestly.
“Act! Keep acting for me!”
Xu Mei was so angry that she laughed, picked up the Cat’s Eye Tears and began to bring them to her eyes.
“I’m not acting this time! Don’t be impulsive! You’ll regret it!”
Qi Huang wanted to rush forward to stop her, but was firmly held back by several Immortal Elders.
Xu Mei was unmoved, so she poured a drop of Cat’s Eye Tears into her right eye, and then said, “Although Cat’s Eye Tears are precious, being able to expose you impostor is worth it.”
After saying that, Xu Mei covered her left eye and looked towards Qi Huang. The female disciples below were all craning their necks and watching expectantly.
“Alas! Why don’t you listen?”
Qi Huang said frantically.
Xu Mei covered her left eye and observed for a moment, her body gradually trembled slightly, then she let go and said in disbelief, “How is this possible?”
“Master, what’s wrong?”
Ruan Lingyu asked worriedly.
“It’s nothing, maybe I didn’t use enough Cat’s Eye Tears!”
Xu Mei pretended to be calm, then picked up the Cat’s Eye Tears and began to pour them into her eyes again. This time, neither eye was spared.
“You’re still pouring! Do you think that’s eye drops?”
Qi Huang shook her head helplessly, thinking how difficult it was to be a good person.
Xu Mei poured Cat’s Eye Tears into both eyes, then looked at Qi Huang again, but what met her gaze was still no change, the impostor’s soul and appearance were exactly the same.
“How is this possible? Could it be that you are really Hong Ling?”
Xu Mei was a little confused now, then her expression suddenly changed, “If you are Hong Ling, then who is the one staying at home right now?”
Thinking of this, Xu Mei felt her scalp tingle.
