Chapter 136 Cheng Hong Ling’s Malicious Intent
Qi Huang was carried into the house by her main body like a little daughter-in-law and then placed on the bed, feeling extremely ashamed and indignant.
Cheng Hong Ling placed her clone on the bed, then flipped it over, and began to examine it with her arms crossed, her eyes burning with desire, as if a little girl had seen her favorite plush toy.
“Ling’er, what are you doing? Don’t bully her.”
Jiang Liniang warned from the doorway.
“Don’t worry, Mother! How could I possibly bully her? I just want to connect with her.”
Cheng Hong Ling walked over and closed the door.
“You…what do you want to do?”
Qi Huang asked in a muffled voice. Her chest was being squeezed, making it difficult to breathe, so she was really uncomfortable. This body was now curvaceous, unlike before when she could lie down as she pleased.
“You really took my words as gospel.”
A cold smile flickered across Cheng Hong Ling’s face, and she took out a whip from the cabinet.
“You…how do you have a whip…a whip like this?”
Qi Huang had a bad premonition. She wanted to struggle, but she couldn’t muster any strength.
“Of course, it’s prepared for you, my little cutie.”
Cheng Hong Ling leisurely played with the whip.
“Don’t hit! Don’t hit! I was wrong! I was terribly wrong!”
Qi Huang had a bad premonition, so she quickly begged for mercy.
“I don’t believe you! I only believe you’re a disobedient little imp!”
Cheng Hong Ling acted as if she hadn’t heard, suddenly lifted the clone’s skirt, and took off her underpants, revealing her fair skin.
Qi Huang was both ashamed and angry. She wanted to reach out and cover herself, but she couldn’t even move a finger.
Cheng Hong Ling’s gaze sharpened slightly, and without warning, she swung the leather whip in her hand.
“Slap!”
A crisp sound rang out.
“Ah!”
“Waa…”
Two miserable cries rang out almost at the same time. The first was Qi Huang’s scream, and the second was Cheng Hong Ling’s suppressed groan of pain.
Qi Huang’s mind went blank, and she even forgot the pain, looking at her main body with some confusion.
Cheng Hong Ling was covering her backside, her face flushed with an inexplicable shyness.
‘It’s not right! I’m the one being hit, why is your face red?’
A huge question mark appeared in Qi Huang’s mind.
“Ahem… as expected!”
Cheng Hong Ling coughed awkwardly and muttered. She now understood why the Fierce Weapon List had an effect on the clone; it was because their telepathy had strengthened considerably.
The principle was simple. Although Qi Huang hadn’t seen the Fierce Weapon List at the time, her main body had, and the telepathy had transmitted it.
The same killing intent had different effects on the two of them, which was why Qi Huang was affected.
This also meant that from now on, as long as she was willing, she could make Qi Huang light and soft and easy to push down at any time.
“What?”
Qi Huang frowned and asked. The pain below finally surged, causing tears to well up in her eyes.
“Nothing!”
Cheng Hong Ling calmly put away the whip.
“I understand! It’s telepathy! If you hit yourself, you’ll feel pain too.”
Qi Huang suddenly realized and said excitedly.
“So what? Do you think I won’t dare to hit you because of this?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s expression suddenly turned grim.
“It’s not that you won’t dare, it’s that you can’t! You are Hong Ling Fairy, beautiful and kind-hearted, how can you be so rude? If anyone sees it, your image of beauty, strength, and kindness will be ruined.”
Qi Huang quickly corrected herself.
“Thank you for the compliment! Isn’t it ‘beauty, strength, and misery’? Why did it become ‘beauty, strength, and kindness’?”
Cheng Hong Ling asked rhetorically.
“With your strength, how can you be miserable?”
Qi Huang flatteringly said.
“But you will be miserable!”
Cheng Hong Ling’s lips curved slightly, revealing a malicious smile. “Even with telepathy, my pain isn’t as bad as yours. I’ll make you behave today.”
After saying that, Cheng Hong Ling raised her fair jade-like hand again and whipped down.
“Waaa…”
Qi Huang trembled all over from the pain, and tears immediately flowed. Fearing that her main body would see her embarrassment, she could only bury her face deeply in the quilt.
“Slap, slap, slap…”
After whipping more than ten times, until the clone’s backside was bruised and swollen, Cheng Hong Ling stopped. However, she didn’t feel any better; her backside was also burning.
Qi Huang didn’t want to cry, but her female body was uncontrollably sobbing like a little daughter-in-law. She kept comforting herself, “I’m not crying! It’s just that this body is disobedient!”
“Remember, from now on, you must cultivate for five hours every day. If I find out you’ve slacked off even for a moment, your butt will bloom again.”
Cheng Hong Ling said contentedly as she put away the whip.
“I…I understand!”
Qi Huang said with a sob. As the saying goes, a wise man doesn’t fight present difficulties; it’s better to deal with the situation first.
“Since you understand, why are you still crawling? Do you want another beating?”
Cheng Hong Ling questioned.
Qi Huang was startled and quickly struggled to get up. Her butt hurt, and her legs were weak, so she had a bitter expression, looking pitiful to outsiders.
When she left the room, Jiang Liniang was still guarding outside. Seeing Qi Huang’s expression, she knew what had happened.
After reprimanding her eldest daughter, Jiang Liniang took her second daughter upstairs to apply medicine.
“If you don’t want to be beaten, you have to obey her from now on. Although I am your mother, I am an ordinary person and cannot help you at all.”
Jiang Liniang looked at the red and swollen backside and reminded her with pity.
“Mm-hmm…”
Qi Huang didn’t want to make her mother difficult, so she nodded repeatedly. It was only five hours of cultivation a day, right? She could cultivate at night and farm for half the day.
Not long after, Cheng Hong Ling went out and soon brought back her share of the Blue Scale Stones. Because there were so many, she asked her close senior sisters for help.
“With so many Blue Scale Stones, Junior Sister can now forge a sword with 100% purity. I’ll see how they laugh at her in the next Evergreen Convention.”
Ruan Lingyu’s pretty face showed a smug smile, as if she were the one getting the sword.
“Yes, a sword made of 100% pure Blue Scale Stone, there isn’t a second one in the entire Xihui Kingdom. Now her Blue Scale Sword will truly live up to its name.”
Yun Fei said calmly, but her eyes were burning with desire.
“This is as it should be. How much effort did Junior Sister put in to obtain these stones?”
Shen Yuan chimed in.
…
Several senior sisters placed the six hundred jin of Blue Scale Stones in the reception hall, watching and discussing.
“This is the result of everyone’s collective efforts, not my sole contribution.”
Qi Huang corrected them from the side.
When the senior sisters heard this, their gazes towards her softened instantly, almost as if they were drawing silk.
“Alright, I’ll keep half of these Blue Scale Stones, and the other half will be distributed to you.”
Cheng Hong Ling, who was standing nearby, spoke up. She wasn’t good at expressing herself, only at using actions to demonstrate her thoughts.
“Really? Thank you so much! Junior Sister!”
“Sniff, sniff, I never thought I’d be able to use a Blue Scale Stone sword in my lifetime.”
“Once the sword is forged, I will definitely pass it down as a family heirloom to my daughter in the future.”
…
The senior sisters were immediately grateful. Miao Xiang cried like a child.
Qi Huang looked at her senior sisters with complicated feelings. Besides happiness, there was also a bit of bitterness. This was probably the tragedy of disciples from smaller sects.
Cheng Hong Ling took out her sword, infused it with True Qi, and forcefully split the Blue Scale Stones in half. She then divided the other half equally among the five senior sisters, with each portion weighing about sixty jin.
Sixty jin of Blue Scale Stone, after removing most of the impurities, was enough to forge a highly pure Blue Scale Stone sword.
The senior sisters left happily with the Blue Scale Stones, eager to send the precious natural treasures to the blacksmith to be made into weapons.
“There are still three hundred jin left. You and I will each get a hundred jin, and the remaining hundred jin will go to Master. Is that okay?”
Cheng Hong Ling sought Qi Huang’s opinion.
“Of course, no problem!”
Qi Huang said without hesitation. In fact, this was what she had told her main body from the beginning. The reason was that she was tired of being poor, so she was easily satisfied with what she got. Moreover, a hundred jin was enough to forge a pure Blue Scale Stone sword.
Next, Cheng Hong Ling sent another hundred jin of Blue Scale Stones to her Master, and then took the remaining two hundred jin to the blacksmith to forge weapons.
Qi Huang also went along, as the appearance of the sword needed her to decide. After careful consideration, she drew a design for the blacksmith.
Cheng Hong Ling’s hundred jin was used to recast the Blue Scale Sword. After all, it was something given by the Master, and its sentimental value was greater than its material value, so she couldn’t just abandon it.
After returning home, Qi Huang sold the two swords she had captured from the Elder of the HeYi Sect, as they did not suit her attributes and using them forcefully would be a waste.
The following days were relatively peaceful. Under Qi Huang’s careful care, the Ghost Tomatoes finally all sprouted, making her extremely excited.
“You seem quite concerned about those things!”
Cheng Hong Ling asked subtly.
Qi Huang smiled and said nothing. Those were her capital for becoming stronger, so of course, she was concerned.
“It’s good that you’re concerned! I was afraid you wouldn’t be.”
Cheng Hong Ling suddenly smiled strangely.
“What do you mean?”
Qi Huang’s heart suddenly tensed up.
