“Forget it. Since this girl’s name is already on the Immortal Tablet, she is my Lü family’s daughter-in-law. If my eldest grandson suppresses her again, it will be cause for gossip and negatively affect the relationship between the young couple, which is not conducive to family harmony.”
After a moment of thought, Lü Dao shook his head and rejected the idea.
“Father’s considerations are indeed thorough.”
Lü Gao’s face showed admiration.
“Then what should we do? If we don’t control her, her strength will sooner or later attract the attention of other Immortal families or sects.”
Lü Yi complained.
“That’s right, isn’t Second Uncle’s in-law in charge of the Immortal Alliance’s affairs in the Xihui Dynasty? That Elder Zuo, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to find a way to suppress that girl, right? Besides, this was his original purpose in seeking out Father.”
Lü Gao offered another suggestion.
“Let’s try it, but we shouldn’t have too much hope. That Elder Zuo probably doesn’t want Cheng Hong Ling to marry my grandson now, as it’s not beneficial to his granddaughter and grandson-in-law, unless he’s extremely short-sighted, only caring about personal grudges and not the bigger picture.”
Lü Dao pointed out shrewdly.
“Understood, Father! I’ll go talk to Second Uncle as soon as possible.”
Lü Gao received his orders.
“Grandfather, what if they don’t agree?”
Lü Yi asked with concern.
“Don’t agree? If they don’t agree, then we’ll find someone else. The Immortal Alliance isn’t just about Elder Zuo.”
Lü Dao said nonchalantly.
“That’s right, Father-in-law. Your relationship with the Immortal Alliance’s high-level figures is so good that it would be as easy as pie for them to suppress a young girl from the Xihui Dynasty.”
Lü Gao flattered him.
“By the way, eldest grandson, what’s happening with Shuiyu Valley? Have you inquired about any news from that Elder Zuo?”
Lü Dao suddenly remembered.
“He said that Shuiyu Valley has been completely wiped out by Immortal Might, with no vegetation within a fifty-mile radius and more than half the people dead.”
Lü Yi slightly curved his lips.
“Haha, the power of our Immortal Tablet is still as strong as ever! As long as it exists, the Lü family can rest assured in the Cultivation World.”
Lü Gao laughed proudly.
“I’m relieved then. After all, the woman you’re marrying is already married. Although the one who got there first was also a woman, they must pay a price. Otherwise, how will the world view us in the future?”
Lü Dao also stroked his beard with satisfaction.
…
After staying in the Prefecture Capital for two days, the people from HongHua Sect finally met the female disciples from Shuiyu Valley. Although they were cultivators, they looked extremely haggard after the long journey and the loss of their families. Especially Mu Ruoyi and her mother, as the matter was caused by them.
Qi Huang felt increasingly guilty. Although the Main Body was forced to have their name recorded, “I did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me.” She and the Main Body could not escape responsibility.
Cheng Hong Ling naturally felt the same way, so her usual cold expression was mostly gone. She even began to show concern for the Shuiyu Valley disciples, which was unprecedented.
Since there were too many people, it was inconvenient to stay in the Prefecture Capital, so everyone bought some supplies and set off directly, planning to find a place outside the city to set up camp, rest for a night, and then continue their journey.
“Sect Leader Qin, will we be causing trouble for HongHua Sect by bringing so many people?”
On the road, Wen Yunmei said somewhat awkwardly to Qin Quan.
“How could that be? Our HongHua Sect only has two to three hundred disciples, and I was worried it was too quiet.”
Qin Quan quickly responded. He said this not to flatter Qi Huang, but out of genuine sincerity. As a Sect Leader, everyone likes to see their sect grow. If they could “annex” Shuiyu Valley, HongHua Sect’s strength would soar.
“Then thank you, Sect Leader Qin. However, please rest assured, once we find a new place to settle, we will immediately move out of HongHua Sect, and I will reimburse you for all the expenses incurred before then.”
Wen Yunmei promised. She understood Qin Quan’s intentions and spoke directly.
“Okay… alright! You can stay for as long as you wish.”
Disappointment showed on Qin Quan’s face.
Qi Huang also saw the “pulling and tugging” between the two parties. She naturally couldn’t force them, otherwise, it would be “taking advantage of someone’s misfortune.”
Shortly afterward, the two sects found a flat and open grassland, and the disciples began to set up camp. The higher-level figures took out Body Protection Talismans and pasted them on the surrounding trees to prevent the approach of evil spirits.
Since there weren’t enough tents, everyone squeezed together in groups of three to five when sleeping. The space was indeed a bit cramped, but it was much livelier.
Of course, many disciples were not used to “sleeping with others” and planned to find a place outside to cultivate for the night. However, as soon as they poked their heads out, they quickly retreated. The reason was simple: it was early in the year, and the Cultivation World had heavy Yin Energy, so the temperature in the wild was very low, which even cultivators could not tolerate.
Qi Huang was also like this. Although her Spiritual Sense was strong, her body was delicate and weak, and she really couldn’t stand the piercing cold wind, so she took out a tent to set up.
After setting up the tent, Qi Huang prepared to rest. Although she also wished for someone to “sleep with her,” she was too guilty to invite anyone.
Qi Huang lay down fully clothed, listening to the sounds of people outside, unable to sleep. She decided to control her Life Soul and enter her Sea of Consciousness, wanting to see if she was indeed continuously being feminized.
Qi Huang entered the palace in her Sea of Consciousness and walked towards the “neither male nor female” Spirit Soul.
“Weren’t you feminized by that Cheng Ling below your navel before? Has the situation worsened?”
Qi Huang asked the Spirit Soul.
“No… no.”
The Spirit Soul shook its head, but its tone was hesitant, and its gaze dodged.
“Really?”
Even a fool could see the abnormality of the Spirit Soul, so Qi Huang confirmed again.
“Re… really.”
The Spirit Soul’s expression became even more unnatural.
“Is that so? Lift your clothes and let me see?”
Qi Huang commanded.
“This…”
The Spirit Soul panicked completely, not knowing what to do for a moment.
“Hurry up, or don’t blame me for being rough.”
Qi Huang urged sternly.
The Spirit Soul had no choice but to hesitantly lift the divine-sense-transformed robe and then pull down its pants a little.
Qi Huang looked closely and felt her scalp tingle. The area of feminization on the Spirit Soul had already covered her entire lower abdomen, and the next step would be that crucial spot.
“As I suspected! That Cheng Ling is really cunning. Even after leaving, she left me with this time bomb.”
After observing for a moment, Qi Huang revealed a wry smile. She never dreamed that this feminization would spread automatically like a chronic disease if not “treated.”
“Why did you lie to me just now?”
Qi Huang’s expression turned grim as she questioned the Spirit Soul.
“Big Brother, this guy has been very strange recently. From time to time, he actually runs off to be with those female spirit souls.”
The Human Soul nearby took the opportunity to report.
“Is that so? What exactly is going on?”
Qi Huang’s face grew even more unpleasant. She hated betrayal the most.
“Big Brother… Big Brother… I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have lied to you, but I often can’t control myself recently. I don’t even know who I am.”
The Spirit Soul suddenly clutched its head and said in pain.
“This…”
Qi Huang was shocked. This split personality was exactly the same as hers! Could it be because the area of feminization had increased?
The more Qi Huang thought about it, the more she felt this was the case. She couldn’t blame the Spirit Soul anymore and could only withdraw from the Sea of Consciousness with a heavy heart.
‘It seems that after I return, I should find time to search for the truth.’
Qi Huang gritted her teeth. She wasn’t afraid of becoming a woman, but she was afraid of her sexual orientation changing, so she had to protect the remaining male souls.
Shortly after, Qi Huang noticed the Main Body walking towards her tent. She was somewhat confused, thinking, “What does she have to do with me? If she has something to say, why doesn’t she just use Mind Transmission?”
Cheng Hong Ling did not speak directly when she reached the tent. A strange expression was on her pretty face, and she kept biting her red lips. She was clearly struggling internally.
The more Qi Huang watched, the more puzzled she became, but she didn’t dare to ask.
“Can I come in and sleep with you?”
After a long while, Cheng Hong Ling took a deep breath and said.
“Wh… what?”
Qi Huang shivered all over.
