Chapter 0.81: Righteousness Over Kinship
At this moment, Qin Gou seemed to understand why some individuals recorded in ancient texts, who had performed the Blood Oath Great Array, would suddenly undergo drastic personality changes and memory loss. Perhaps what he was experiencing now was similar to their situation.
Thinking this, Qin Gou looked at the other ‘himself’ in the great hall, enduring the needle-like pain in his head, and asked as calmly as possible, “You are Qishuang, right?”
Ye Qishuang looked at Qin Gou in disbelief, “Master?”
Qin Gou let out a bitter smile, “It seems Master’s guess was correct. We have swapped bodies due to some special reason.”
“How could this happen…” Ye Qishuang looked flabbergasted, placing her hands on her chest and sliding them down.
“Cough, cough, you impudent wench, what are you doing?” Qin Gou said through gritted teeth.
Ye Qishuang glanced at the incredibly familiar, peerlessly beautiful face and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Master, what are you afraid of? Qishuang just realized that the Blood Oath Great Array doesn’t seem to have completely failed. I can faintly feel a mystical connection between Master’s spirit and flesh. If we are closer, I can even personally experience Master’s current state of mind. Now, even without consummating our union, just skin-to-skin contact, Qishuang can successfully dual cultivate with Master.”
“What kind of joke is this? You’re in this state, and the first thing you think of is whether the Blood Oath Great Array succeeded?” Qin Gou was furious, pounding his chest and stamping his feet. But he seemed to have forgotten something, causing the pair of snow-white, full breasts on his chest to tremble with elasticity, creating a spectacular and pleasing scene that was quite eye-catching.
Ye Qishuang’s face flushed red as she exclaimed, “Master, don’t touch yourself!”
Qin Gou froze for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “When has Master not seen every part of you? And now you’re feeling shy.”
“Now… Qishuang has grown up,” Ye Qishuang’s eyes were full of shyness. Gritting her teeth, she said, “If Master keeps being naughty, then Qishuang… wants to touch too!” With that, she quickly placed her hands on the inside of her thighs.
“Stop!” Qin Gou looked as if he had seen a ghost and quickly said, “Is this the time for you and me, Master and disciple, to tease each other? How improper! We should be focusing on how to get our bodies back, that’s the priority.”
Ye Qishuang nodded slightly and calmed down, “I’m a bit strange. Why does this external incarnation of Master feel so real to Qishuang? Was it refined from a living person? No, Master would never do such a thing.”
Qin Gou sighed helplessly, “To this day, Master is no longer afraid to tell you the truth. That is not an external incarnation at all; it is indeed Master’s original body.”
“What? How is that possible? Master, your cultivation…” Ye Qishuang was completely bewildered.
Qin Gou patiently explained, “Just consider Master to have entered a special state similar to the mortal transformation stage. However, you can rest assured, although it will take some time, Master will become more than several times stronger than before.”
“So that’s how it is,” Ye Qishuang suddenly realized, her eyes showing deep shame and self-blame. She was at a loss, “I actually thought this was just an external incarnation that Master wouldn’t care too much about. Even if the Blood Oath Great Array failed, only I would be injured, and it wouldn’t cause too much trouble for Master. I never expected to almost ruin Master’s great plan. Please punish me, Master!”
Qin Gou waved his hand and said irritably, “Silly girl, punishing you now is no different from punishing myself. The urgent matter is to get our bodies back quickly.” Then Master will slowly teach you how to be a person.
Ye Qishuang couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s right, Qishuang just wants to be with Master, not to completely possess Master’s body like this.” Then the disciple will slowly teach you how to be a person. Afterward, she took out the jade slip containing the ‘Blood Oath Great Array’ from a hidden compartment and began to read it carefully, not daring to miss any detail.
“Ding. New mission ‘Righteousness Over Kinship’ released. ‘Ancestor Ye’, Ye Qishuang, as the Palace Lord of Mystic Maiden Raksha Palace, one of the spokespersons of the Purple Xuan Alliance, and an object of admiration for countless demonic cultivators, her fall would undoubtedly cause a ripple effect, leading to immeasurable chain reactions. You are ordered to take your sword and commit suicide, eliminating evil for the people and repaying the world. Reward: Natal Spirit Tool ‘Kunpeng Fan’, a Divine Feather Dharma Image, and ten million Merit points. Time limit: nine days. Failure to comply will result in Master completely losing his dignified demeanor in front of Ye Qishuang once, and the terrifying ordeal Master will suffer is yet unknown.”
Qin Gou was depressed. Was this system, this two-faced dog, too idle? Could this be considered teasing him? If not for the fact that the scoundrel was invisible and intangible, Qin Gou would have no hesitation in giving it three hundred slaps right now!
But then, Qin Gou immediately sensed something was wrong.
Nine-day time limit? Why specifically nine days? Could it be that after nine days, he would lose the qualification to easily make Ye Qishuang perish?
“It seems I haven’t had any memory deviations despite losing my body… I’ve never heard of the Blood Oath Great Array causing body swaps. The jade slip doesn’t mention anything about it… It seems Master and I won’t be able to return to our original states anytime soon,” Ye Qishuang frowned slightly. As a Palace Lord who had seen many storms, she appeared calm.
“Master believes this peculiar state will not last long. Although I don’t know if we’ll swap back, new changes will occur within nine days at most,” Qin Gou said confidently.
“Why does Master say that?” Ye Qishuang asked, puzzled.
“Don’t believe me? Let’s wait and see,” Qin Gou said with a mysterious smile.
Ye Qishuang smiled faintly, “I believe you. As expected of Master, unfazed and composed at all times, holding all cards.”
“If that’s the case, during these nine days, you and I, Master and disciple, must play our current roles well. That is to say, from this moment on, you are Qin Yue, and I am Ye Qishuang,” Qin Gou said with his arms crossed, his tone serious, “The fewer people who know about our current predicament, the better. It’s best to keep everything as usual.”
Ye Qishuang seemed to suddenly think of something, and her eyes showed a hint of shyness as she said, “Then this Palace wants to make three rules with Master.”
Qin Gou glared at the cunning girl, “Master knows what you’re going to say… It’s nothing more than rules like Master not being allowed to bathe during these nine days. How about we make a spirit oath here: neither of us will be disrespectful of each other’s bodies during these nine days?”
“Then Master hurry up and swear…” Ye Qishuang agreed enthusiastically.
“And you? Qishuang, shouldn’t you also…”
“I shouldn’t! Master is already this Palace’s possession,” Ye Qishuang said with her arms crossed, her face slightly red, showing a ‘what can you do about it’ expression.
“Wicked disciple, how dare you speak such nonsense!”
“If Master bullies me again, this Palace will take off its pants!”
“Is taking off pants all you know?”
“Master, stop!”
“Damn girl, hold your pants!”
