Chapter 75: Feminization Deepens
I naturally know if I am male or female, but do you know if you are male or female?
Spirit Soul… that is to say, Huang Jin turned his head back, a strange smile appearing on his face.
“Am I male or female?”
Qi Huang trembled slightly, then began to ponder who he was: “Am I male or female? I am Huang Qi, so naturally I am male… No, no, no… I am a clone of Cheng Hong Ling, and a clone of Cheng Hong Ling is naturally female!”
As Qi Huang thought, his head began to ache again, spreading to his limbs and bones, infiltrating his soul.
“Ah!”
Qi Huang cried out in pain, clutching his head.
“Big Brother! Big Brother! What’s wrong with you?”
The Human Soul beside him walked over cautiously to inquire.
“Big Brother? That’s right, I am Qi Huang!”
Upon hearing this address, the messy thoughts in Qi Huang’s head instantly vanished, and the headache gradually eased. He raised his head and gnashed his teeth at Huang Jin, shouting, “You ungrateful wretch, even betraying your own Big Brother!”
“Ungrateful wretch? I am an assimilator of Cheng Hong Ling’s clone, and you are just a fake. Who is the inside and who is the outside?”
Huang Jin’s face showed contempt.
“Could it be that he has already been completely assimilated?”
A premonition gnawed at Qi Huang’s heart. If this Huang Jin had been completely assimilated, it would mean that his sexual orientation had completely changed.
Qi Huang, in a panic, released his Soul Bond, yanked Huang Jin over, and then reached out to pull down his pants.
“What do you want to do?”
Huang Jin was both ashamed and angry, struggling desperately, but he couldn’t break free from the strong Soul Bond.
The six female souls nearby wanted to help but were glared back by Qi Huang with a cold gaze.
Qi Huang nimbly pulled down Huang Jin’s pants and observed carefully. After a moment, he let out a long sigh of relief. Although it was a bit smaller than before, it was still there.
Qi Huang immediately raised his hand and slapped Huang Jin across the face without hesitation, then questioned loudly, “Look at what’s between your legs! Wake up!”
Huang Jin was dazed by the slap. He glanced blankly at the spot between his legs, his eyes gradually clearing. He covered his face and asked in confusion, “What happened?”
“Don’t you know what happened? You betrayed me again just now.”
Huang Ren ran over to remind him.
“What? I betrayed again? Didn’t I betray just yesterday?”
Huang Jin couldn’t believe it. A moment later, a look of horror appeared on his face, and he said to Qi Huang, “Big Brother, it must be because the feminization has deepened. You must find a way as soon as possible. Look at this thing between my legs, it’s getting smaller and smaller.”
“Do I need you to tell me?”
Qi Huang impatiently released Huang Jin and turned to leave the Sea of Consciousness.
Qi Huang sat cross-legged on the bed, his mood very heavy. Although the gains from this dream were considerable, he hadn’t found a way to stop his split personality and feminization, so the fundamental problem remained.
Of course, Qi Huang couldn’t just focus on himself. As the strongest person in the HongHua Sect, he also needed to occasionally check on the sect’s situation. Qi Huang organized his thoughts, then released his Spiritual Sense, carefully examining the HongHua Sect inside and out.
At this moment, the HongHua Sect, led by Cheng Yuan, was undergoing extensive construction. Courtyards rose one after another. These houses not only provided temporaryAccommodation for the female disciples of Shuiyu Valley but also for the newly joined disciples of the HongHua Sect. They could also be rented out to ordinary people who wished to settle in the HongHua Sect, making it a win-win situation.
Qi Huang had astonished everyone at the Evergreen Convention. Now, the HongHua Sect had become a scorching-hot Immortal Sect in the entire Xihui Dynasty, with cultivators and ordinary people flocking to join them. As long as the housing problem was solved, the sect’s strength would grow unprecedentedly.
Not long after, Qi Huang received a long-distance transmission from Elder Zuo.
“The national-level Evergreen Convention of the Xihui Dynasty will begin in half a month, and the venue is the Imperial Capital.”
Elder Zuo notified him first.
“Understood.”
Qi Huang replied absentmindedly. Compared to the seed of the Golden Life Flower, he was more anxious to solve his own problems at the moment.
“Do you know? Some time ago, Lü Yi’s father asked me to suppress you at the Evergreen Convention to avoid you becoming too outstanding and attracting the attention of other major powers.”
Elder Zuo brought up the matter.
“It’s only natural.”
Qi Huang gave a self-deprecating smile. This could be considered a veiled “hidden treasure.”
“Then what do you plan to do?”
Qi Huang then asked.
“Me? Of course, I will do my best to clear your path. I can’t guarantee anything else, but I can secure you the position of the top Immortal Seed in the Xihui Dynasty.”
Elder Zuo confidently made this promise.
“Heh, you’re just beautifying me and then selling me off to other major powers to get rid of a potential threat, aren’t you?”
Qi Huang sneered.
“Don’t put it so harshly. I’m doing this to help you. Now, if we want to stop the Lü family, we can only use the stratagem of ‘driving a tiger to devour a wolf.’ Otherwise, no one can help you delay for ten years.”
Elder Zuo said hypocritically.
“Driving a tiger to devour a wolf? Then where is the tiger? Will he just eat me?”
Qi Huang probed. He couldn’t even deal with the Lü family, let alone a stronger power. This wasn’t driving a tiger to devour a wolf; it was inviting fire to burn himself.
“Let’s delay for as long as we can. This is the only method I can think of.”
Elder Zuo casually replied, then added, “Of course, if you disagree, you can choose to give up participating in the Evergreen Convention.”
“Heh…”
Qi Huang gave a noncommittal chuckle, then said, “If I become the top Immortal Seed of the Xihui Dynasty, can Elder Zuo get me a participation slot for the Continental Evergreen Convention? Since you want to play ‘driving a tiger to devour a wolf,’ wouldn’t this be more direct!”
“I want to as well! Unfortunately, my influence is not enough, and you have no background. It’s truly impossible to achieve.”
Elder Zuo sighed.
Qi Huang immediately ended the conversation, then cursed inwardly, “He’s an Elder of the Immortal Alliance, yet he’s such a good-for-nothing! It seems I still have to rely on myself to solve this matter.”
Three days later, Qin Quan hurriedly summoned the sect’s high-level figures to the assembly hall.
“I have bad news for everyone. I’ve just received notification from the Immortal Alliance that the HongHua Sect has been disqualified from participating in the national-level Evergreen Convention.”
Qin Quan’s expression was grim.
Qi Huang and his Main Body exchanged glances, both showing expressions of shock.
“Didn’t you say that old man Elder Zuo was going to make you the top Immortal Seed of the Xihui Dynasty?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s Mind Transmission teased.
“Who knows what’s going on?”
Qi Huang shook his head helplessly.
“What? What right do they have to do that?”
Master Xu Mei, who was beside him, exclaimed excitedly.
Other high-level figures also began to whisper among themselves, their faces showing worry.
“Steward Cai’s explanation to me was that Qi Huang disrespected the Immortal Alliance, so this is a slight punishment!”
Qin Quan looked at Qi Huang and stated the reason.
“What? I disrespected the Immortal Alliance? They’re really shifting the blame!”
Qi Huang was so angry he laughed. Then he said, “I do look down on the Immortal Alliance, but I was already very restrained at the Evergreen Convention. Everyone saw it.”
“The Immortal Alliance decides who to target without any reason.”
Cheng Hong Ling explained.
“But didn’t Elder Zuo promise to delay our marriage for ten years? Is it too petty to suppress the HongHua Sect at this time?”
Xu Mei gritted her teeth.
“Steward Cai said that this was not his decision, nor Elder Zuo’s decision. It was a direct notification from the Deputy Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance.”
Qin Quan explained.
“What? A notification from the Deputy Alliance Leader? Why is he targeting the HongHua Sect? And how did he know Qi Huang disrespected the Immortal Alliance?”
Xu Mei asked in astonishment, but no one could provide an explanation.
“I think this matter is probably related to Lü Yi!”
Cheng Hong Ling said after some thought.
“That’s right. Now, the only ones who can suppress us and have such great influence are from Lü Yi’s lineage in the Lü family. It seems my plan has been foreseen by them, which is why he’s too embarrassed to tell me personally.”
Qi Huang agreed, then explained the motivation of Lü Yi’s lineage to suppress him.
“Yes, Steward Cai agrees with this as well.”
Qin Quan added.
“It’s meaningless to pursue who is targeting us now. Since it’s a notification directly from the Deputy Alliance Leader, there’s no room for maneuver. In this case, what about our Golden Life Flower seed?”
Xu Mei looked around.
