Chapter 75: The Second Clone, Cheng Hong Ling (II)
Indeed, to avoid feminization, Qi Huang could no longer use a male soul as a clone. However, this didn’t mean she couldn’t use those feminized spiritual essences! Doing so could also indirectly weaken the Spiritual Wisdom’s strength.
Of course, the ideal was beautiful, but reality was harsh. After being feminized, those spiritual essences were completely subordinate to Cheng Hong Ling’s Spiritual Wisdom essence. They were pure time bombs. If they exposed her true identity upon coming out, she would be completely finished.
Therefore, Qi Huang had to find a way to make them obedient first, by fair means or foul, but how easy could that be?
Qi Huang began to rack her brain for a solution but found nothing. In her anxiety, she spun in circles. Without absolute certainty, she genuinely dared not release any of the feminized spiritual essences.
“No! How can I be so stupid?”
Qi Huang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she slapped her forehead.
Having found a method, Qi Huang couldn’t wait to return to her room and get started. The first step was naturally to control her Life Soul to enter the palace within the Sea of Consciousness.
When Qi Huang arrived, she found that the male and female souls had ceased fighting and were separated, facing each other across the great hall.
Qi Huang didn’t waste time and walked directly towards the female spiritual essences.
Upon seeing her, the six spiritual essences, including the Spiritual Wisdom, immediately showed signs of wariness.
“What? Changed your mind? Ready to be a real woman?” asked the Spiritual Wisdom playfully.
“I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you. I think I’m already woman enough,” Qi Huang said with a self-deprecating smile. Then she added, “I’m here to ask you all, you must yearn for freedom, right?”
The Spiritual Wisdom slightly furrowed her willow-like brows, and a trace of vigilance gradually appeared on her pretty face. For some reason, she smelled a conspiracy.
The other several spiritual essences also looked at each other. From their appearance to their expressions, they were identical to the Spiritual Wisdom.
“I don’t need you to say it, I already know. From your birth until now, apart from her, no one else has gone out to breathe the human world’s air. What a pity! The vast world is full of wonders,” Qi Huang lamented with pity.
“What exactly do you want to say?” the Spiritual Wisdom asked, raising her eyebrows. As proud as she was, she really disliked this feeling of uncertainty.
“As you know, my current mission is to guard the HongHua Sect, but I also have to return to Huatian Village. So, I plan to cultivate another female clone to stay here in my place. In short, one of you is very lucky today,” Qi Huang said, using her acting skills to the fullest to manipulate.
“Did I hear that right? She wants to use us to cultivate a female clone!”
“Heh, how dare she? Isn’t she afraid we’ll expose her secrets when we get out?”
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch. I believe there must be a conspiracy here.”
…
The several female spiritual essences whispered among themselves.
“If I heard correctly, you want to cultivate one of us into a female clone?” the Spiritual Wisdom asked with some uncertainty.
“Yes! Although we’ve had our differences, we are ultimately one person. I can’t hold a grudge against myself, can I? When there’s good news, I naturally think of you first,” Qi Huang said, feigning broad-mindedness.
“Forgive my presumption, but when did you become so brave? Aren’t you afraid we’ll expose your secrets the moment we get out?” the Spiritual Wisdom sneered.
“Haven’t I always been brave? You’ve seen me acting all over the place, haven’t you? I don’t think ordinary people have that kind of courage!” Qi Huang boasted.
“What acting? You’re clearly a liar!” A look of disdain appeared on the Spiritual Wisdom’s pretty face.
“Just say if I’m brave or not. As for whether you’ll expose my secrets, I’m not afraid. Are you afraid?” Qi Huang concluded on her own.
“What a low-level provocation. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming. Having a substitute is secondary. The main point is you want to weaken my strength, right? As long as they are moved out and not recalled, my strength in this hall will be weakened by one point.” The Spiritual Wisdom sneered repeatedly.
“Wow! You guessed it? So clever! But what’s the use of that? I’m going to move them out, and you can’t stop me. My previous words weren’t to negotiate with you, but just to be polite before resorting to force. I’m a person who values etiquette the most,” Qi Huang said with an unconcerned air.
“Since you can’t stop me, how about I accompany you myself?” the Spiritual Wisdom asked with a half-smile, because she knew Qi Huang definitely wouldn’t dare to do that. A clone cultivating another clone, even an idiot could see the problem.
“I appreciate your kindness, but how can such a small matter trouble you to personally take action?” Qi Huang said in a sarcastic tone.
“Alright! Then you choose yourself! Take whoever you like,” the Spiritual Wisdom said disdainfully.
Qi Huang’s gaze fell on the other five feminized spiritual essences. Then, putting on a look of impartiality, she said, “I like to be fair. To show fairness, let’s do it according to your birth order! This time, let ‘Tian Chong’ from the head go out with me. Next time, it will be ‘Spiritual Wisdom’ from the center of the eyebrows, then ‘Qi Po’ from the throat, and so on! As long as you obediently listen to me, once I reach the Heavenly Punishment Realm, you can all become clones. Everyone will have a bright future.”
“You really dare to let me out? I don’t believe it anyway!” the Spiritual Wisdom pouted contemptuously again.
“As I said, everyone, of course, including you,” Qi Huang said sincerely. This time, she wasn’t acting. After all, they were the Spiritual Wisdom of the main body. If it wasn’t absolutely necessary, she really didn’t want to turn hostile completely.
The Spiritual Wisdom naturally didn’t believe it. Moreover, what she wanted was absolute freedom, not just to become someone’s clone. Therefore, becoming a Life Soul had always been her goal. It wouldn’t change in the past, and it wouldn’t change now.
“After you go out, immediately tell the main body her true identity,” the Spiritual Wisdom secretly transmitted to “Tian Chongpo.”
“But big sister, you also know that the main body is out on a mission now. I can’t personally go to the Yu Xiao Sect to find her. After Huang Qi leaves, this HongHua Sect still needs to be guarded,” Tian Chongpo replied. Because she had been completely assimilated by the Spiritual Wisdom, the main body she was referring to now was naturally Cheng Hong Ling, not Qi Huang.
“It doesn’t matter. As long as it’s someone you can trust, whether it’s Master or parents, you decide,” the Spiritual Wisdom instructed.
“Yes!” Tian Chongpo respectfully accepted the order.
“What a brainless fellow. Since you’re asking for death, don’t blame me for being impolite. This time, I will let everyone know your true appearance,” the Spiritual Wisdom vowed secretly.
Qi Huang was naturally unaware. Taking Tian Chongpo, she left the Sea of Consciousness, feeling a little regretful. If there were no Heavenly Dao’s pressure, she could have completely sealed that annoying Spiritual Wisdom in some hidden place, thus removing this major concern.
Returning to reality, Qi Huang opened her eyes, and the Tian Chongpo was waiting outside.
“Remember, be obedient. After becoming a clone, guard the HongHua Sect well for me. Say what you should say, and don’t say what you shouldn’t, otherwise, you’ll never come out again. Freedom should be very important to you, right?” Qi Huang reminded her again, looking uneasy.
“Don’t worry! I’ve always been good,” Tian Chongpo nodded repeatedly, putting on a docile appearance. Inwardly, she contemptuously mocked, “What a brainless fellow, actually thinking of scaring me with this.”
Qi Huang seemed to believe Tian Chongpo’s words and immediately began to supply blood to create a new flesh body for her. Once it was completed, she could confidently return to Huatian Village.
