Chapter 75: Swapping identities with the Main Body
“Heh heh, ‘some’? What a ‘some’, they completely consider themselves women and like men, is that called ‘some’?”
Qi Huang’s spirit soul laughed in anger.
“Is there a problem? They are women now. Liking the opposite sex is only normal! When I assimilate you, you won’t be so averse to men anymore, I promise!”
The Spiritual Wisdom raised its eyebrows, its voice gentle and filled with an inexplicable temptation.
“I respectfully decline.”
The spirit soul moved its cheek.
“It seems there’s no room for negotiation! Then let’s just waste time like this!”
The Spiritual Wisdom gave up for now. She stood up and said coldly, “I don’t believe the Life Soul of this body won’t fall into a deep sleep again. As long as I can find a loophole to get out of this Heart Door, the longer I stay outside, the more you will be assimilated. By then, with no helpers, it won’t be so easy for her to get out.”
“If you assimilate all of us, what will happen to the Life Soul of this body?”
The Human Soul asked subconsciously.
“A body only allows one Life Soul to exist, what do you think will happen?”
The Spiritual Wisdom asked instead of answering.
…
Qi Huang returned home with the Main Body and was immediately dragged into the room.
“Are you trying to bully your sister again? Your father will be here soon, be careful he doesn’t sort you out.”
Jiang Liniang chased into the room and threatened her daughter.
“Who is bullying her?”
Cheng Hong Ling replied somewhat irritably, but felt a little depressed inside, always feeling that her maternal love was inexplicably snatched away.
Jiang Liniang remained uneasy and guarded the doorway.
Cheng Hong Ling shook her head helplessly and said to the clone, “You should have heard what Master said just now. From now on, in order for both of us to act freely, I will play the clone, and you will play the Main Body.”
“Okay! But what about this clone mark on my forehead?”
Qi Huang was naturally overjoyed. Even though it was just pretend, at least her “surface” was standing up, wasn’t it?
“Once the clone mark is imprinted, it cannot be removed, so we can only find a way to cover it.”
Cheng Hong Ling explained. She looked around, and after a moment her beautiful eyes lit up. She then took out a very exquisite forehead ornament from the drawer.
Qi Huang observed carefully and found that the forehead ornament was a finely crafted silver chain with a fixed beautiful ruby pendant.
“Let me try putting it on you.”
Cheng Hong Ling walked over and gently placed the forehead ornament on the clone’s head.
Qi Huang felt the faint fragrance from the Main Body, and the soft, delicate body occasionally brushing against her arm, her heart began to pound again.
Although Cheng Hong Ling usually appeared unusually cold, she was very gentle when handling these girls’ jewelry, looking very feminine.
Qi Huang had never seen such a Main Body and became more engrossed.
Jiang Liniang looked at her two daughters getting along harmoniously and showed a look of relief.
A moment later, Qi Huang put on the forehead ornament. She looked in the bronze mirror and found that the ruby did indeed cover the clone mark on her brow.
“It’s quite pretty! But don’t forget your Spiritual Sense defense, this thing can only block the naked eye.”
Cheng Hong Ling reminded her with satisfaction.
Qi Huang nodded subconsciously. Although she knew it was herself in the mirror, she was still somewhat entranced.
Cheng Hong Ling ignored the clone anymore, turned and walked aside, then took out a jewelry box and began to use an eyebrow pencil to draw a pink ‘clone mark’ on her brow. Although she really didn’t want to “lower her status”, she had to sacrifice for freedom.
After a long time, Cheng Hong Ling put down the eyebrow pencil with satisfaction. At this moment, there was an almost lifelike clone mark on her brow.
“Alright, from now on! Outside, I am the clone, and you are the Main Body. Don’t get it wrong.”
Cheng Hong Ling turned around and instructed.
“Okay, okay, okay.”
Qi Huang was immediately delighted.
“Don’t be happy too soon. I said it’s only on the surface. You must report everything you do and say below to me with your thoughts first, and only then can you act after receiving permission. You cannot act on your own as you did in the main hall just now.”
Cheng Hong Ling immediately warned.
Qi Huang nodded perfunctorily without thinking, but secretly disagreed. With her current strength, what could happen if she didn’t ask? Could she not run if she couldn’t beat me? I don’t believe you can catch me running on the ground when I’m flying in the sky!
Not long after, her cheap father, Cheng Yuan, arrived. His purpose was to give his daughters some newly acquired medicinal materials that were very useful for cultivation.
Although Cheng Yuan had already learned from his wife’s letter that one daughter had become two, he couldn’t help but be shocked when he saw them in person. Then he became ecstatic, saying with great mockery, “One daughter of mine is enough to annoy Elder Wu. Now there’s another one, he probably can’t even eat.”
Cheng Hong Ling wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she didn’t tell her father about Elder Wu setting a trap for her. Since her father could laugh, why couldn’t she let him laugh more?
Qi Huang also understood the Main Body’s intentions, so she also chose to remain silent.
“Since it’s Ling’er’s clone, it’s equivalent to our second daughter. Why is she called Qi Huang?”
Cheng Yuan, while happy, inevitably felt confused.
“I gave myself this name. At that time, I had lost most of my memory, and later I got used to it, so I didn’t change it.”
Qi Huang lied.
“You lost your memory before?”
Cheng Hong Ling keenly caught this.
“Yes! Later I recovered it bit by bit, but it’s still not complete until now.”
Qi Huang did not hide it, as it was not a secret that could not be told.
“This is probably because you are not a complete clone.”
Cheng Hong Ling made this guess.
Hearing this, Cheng Yuan felt very sympathetic and did not harp on the name issue anymore.
After a while, the mother served lunch, and the atmosphere was warm. Qi Huang, however, was lost in thought.
“Dad, Mom! I’m going out for a while!”
After lunch, Qi Huang said goodbye to her parents.
Cheng Yuan and Jiang Liniang doted on their daughter, so they readily agreed.
“Can I go out?”
Qi Huang cautiously sought permission from the Main Body again.
“What do you want to do?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked calmly.
“I have some personal matters to attend to.”
Qi Huang vaguely answered.
“You are me, and your matters are my matters. What personal matters?”
Cheng Hong Ling was a little displeased.
“It’s personal matters anyway, and I can’t talk about it.”
Qi Huang said somewhat troubled.
“Oh, Hong Ling! She is also a person and needs freedom. You can’t keep her by your side forever, can you? Who could stand that.”
Jiang Liniang, seeing that something was wrong, could only step forward to smooth things over.
“You can! But you can’t leave the HongHua Sect’s territory, and you can’t reveal that you are a clone.”
Cheng Hong Ling didn’t want to disappoint her mother, so she compromised.
“No problem.”
Qi Huang was overjoyed and ran out happily.
Qi Huang left the Orchid Courtyard. Because there were many disciples along the way, she began to pretend to be the Main Body, aloof and beautiful.
The disciples along the way didn’t know who she specifically was, but they still greeted her respectfully. To them, as long as they were somewhat respectful, it was correct.
Qi Huang soon arrived at “Yangchun Courtyard,” where the male disciples lived, and lingered outside the door, looking for a suitable target.
“Isn’t that Junior Sister Hong Ling? Or is it her clone?”
“Who cares who she is? It’s all the same to us, we can’t afford to associate with her!”
“I wonder who she’s looking for? Could it be that someone among our male disciples has gained her favor?”
“If there is, it can only be Senior Brother Wang Zong.”
“Wang Zong? He’s worthy of Junior Sister Hong Ling?”
“Then who else could it be? Wang Zong is already the most outstanding among the male disciples. You can’t expect Junior Sister Hong Ling to live as a widow, can you?”
…
The passing male disciples whispered among themselves.
Qi Huang heard it clearly and her cheeks flushed, so she had to retreat.
Not long after, Qi Huang indeed saw Wang Zong returning from outside. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to ask for help: “Senior Brother Wang Zong! I need your help with something!”
“Ah?”
Wang Zong did not expect this genius junior sister, whom he looked up to, to come to him. He was stunned for a moment, then his old face turned red, and he stammered, “Junior Sister Hong Ling, please tell me what you need. If I can help, I will go through fire and water without hesitation.”
“It’s not that serious. I just want to inquire about something.”
Qi Huang replied awkwardly. This guy’s way of speaking is so strange. He looks like he’s confessing his feelings to me.
“Tell me, I will tell you everything I know.”
Wang Zong’s mind continued to heat up, completely unaware that his tone was too ambiguous.
“I want to ask you about something, it’s ‘Xieqisan’.”
Qi Huang whispered, her breath like orchid fragrance.
Yes, this was the reason she insisted on coming out. It had been three years since she was poisoned and implicated her Master. Now, the HongHua Sect was busy looking for Ghost Tomatoes and did not intend to provoke that Blue Scale King Snake for the time being. She had the strength and time, and the mastermind should be brought to justice.
