Chapter 647: Feminization, Feminization Again (1)
“What do you call selling out? Shouldn’t you bear the consequences of the trouble you caused yourself? Why should we die for you?”
The short, chubby civil official retorted.
“The trouble I caused myself? How dare I?”
Hou Qing hinted at something, then knelt before the Emperor and kowtowed repeatedly: “Your Majesty, save me! I am just a small envoy, acting under your orders.”
“Are you saying that all of this was arranged by your Emperor?”
Qi Huang turned to Qu Ying Tian, her mind made up. A few small envoys indeed would not dare to provoke a commotion in another country’s imperial palace on their own accord, so the mastermind was most likely this dog emperor.
“Nonsense! When did I order you to do such a thing? How dare you slander me, are you not afraid of having your entire clan exterminated?”
Emperor Qu Ying Tian said with bluster and bluff. His shifty eyes and trembling voice had already betrayed him.
“What a performance, a virtuous ruler and wise subjects!”
Qi Huang scoffed disdainfully.
“Your Majesty, save me! Your Majesty, save me! Are you just going to watch her slaughter the ministers? Where will the imperial authority be then?”
Hou Qing continued to beg. He knew he was in dire straits, so he had to seize any glimmer of hope, even if it meant offending the Emperor.
“Audacious! How dare you threaten me? It seems you are tired of living. Guards, execute him on the spot!”
Qu Ying Tian was furious. He was trying his best to quell the situation, but this ignorant fellow insisted on dragging him down. His intentions were malicious.
“With the National Preceptor here, when is it your turn to kill people?”
Qi Huang sneered, and the Cicada Wing Sword flashed and disappeared.
Everyone looked around in confusion, then saw Qu Ying Tian clutching his throat blankly as he fell, blood gushing from his neck like a fountain.
The civil and military officials around His Majesty were shocked, but no one dared to resist, only weeping.
“Save me! Save me!”
Seeing that this malevolent god had even killed the Emperor of Beiling Kingdom, Hou Qing’s soul scattered in terror, and he stumbled away.
“No one can save you today!”
Contempt appeared in Qi Huang’s eyes as her Spiritual Sense crushed down.
“Pfft!”
Then Hou Qing’s body exploded without warning, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
“Who is the Crown Prince?”
Qi Huang then asked those around.
“Reporting… Reporting to the National Preceptor… I… I am the Crown Prince!”
A grown youth answered, trembling.
“Since you are the Crown Prince, then you will be the next Emperor of Beiling Kingdom. If you want to sit on the dragon throne for a few more days, then you will properly execute the terms of the surrender letter. If you dare to play any tricks, I will come to take your dog life at any time!”
Qi Huang warned.
“Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely comply.”
The Crown Prince nodded subserviently. Although the saying goes that the revenge for a father’s death is irreconcilable, he did not dare to have any thoughts of resistance.
Qi Huang did not delay any further. She picked up a surrender letter and left the Imperial Capital of Beiling Kingdom.
In the next two days, Qi Huang successively visited the Imperial Capitals of Gaosheng Kingdom, Snow Domain Dynasty, and Flying Sand Dynasty, and obtained three more surrender letters. By then, all four enemy countries had been dealt with by her alone.
Qi Huang prepared to return, but halfway there, her Spirit Soul asked her to come to her Sea of Consciousness for a chat.
“Big Brother, the feminization in my body is slowly progressing. If it’s left unchecked, in a few months at most, my lower region will turn into a valley, and at that time, your body and mind will completely become a woman.”
Golden, the Spirit Soul, gravely explained her current state.
“Why is it feminizing again?”
Although Qi Huang had anticipated this, she still found it hard to accept. After all, she had already practiced the Body-Substitution Technique with the Main Body. If even that was useless, she would have to search for a method in her dreams.
Although Qi Huang had been a woman for two years, she had only adapted to the body, not accepted the psychological impact of becoming completely female, especially regarding her sexual orientation.
A sense of crisis arose in Qi Huang’s heart again, so she rushed to the Imperial Capital of Xihui Dynasty and gave the four surrender letters to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran looked at the terms on the surrender letters, her small mouth agape as if she could swallow an egg. This was because there were far more clauses than she had proposed, especially the demand for the northern four kingdoms to cede land, which was something she wouldn’t have dared to even imagine.
Lin Ran’s feelings became increasingly complicated. Personally, Qi Huang could be considered an enemy with irreconcilable hatred, but from the perspective of an Empress, she was also a great benefactor! Moreover, Qi Huang was an undeniable hero to the entire Xihui Dynasty.
Lin Ran didn’t know how to face Qi Huang and could only thank her awkwardly.
Qi Huang was also satisfied. As long as this woman didn’t bear animosity towards her, it would be fine. Anyway, she did all this for the people of Xihui Dynasty and never sought any reward.
Qi Huang returned to HongHua Sect and immediately began to “sleep,” hoping to find a method to control the Assimilation Power as soon as possible. Unfortunately, such things couldn’t be forced; it all depended on luck.
During the day, Qi Huang took time to visit the Greenhouse and sprinkled some blood to water the Ghost Tomatoes. She wanted to see how much the effect had increased after advancing to the Huashen realm.
A few days passed, and Qi Huang was ecstatic because the watered Ghost Tomatoes not only grew much faster than the others but also developed branches.
Qi Huang was so excited that she lost herself. Previously, the Ghost Tomatoes she had seen, whether grown by herself or wild ones, all had single main stems, producing only one fruit. Now that they had branched, did it mean…
Now, Qi Huang was clear in her heart. This meant that one Ghost Tomato plant could produce several fruits per season!
Hehe, if this were the case, then my planting efficiency could be greatly improved, and I could also make her blood into fertilizer and sell it to Elder Zuo and others. He must really want this thing, right?
Qi Huang envisioned in her mind. A plan for rapid strengthening was gradually being perfected in her mind, but now was not the time to consider this. She had to find a way to protect herself. Otherwise, once she was completely feminized, what would be the point of getting stronger?
That evening, as Qi Huang was about to sleep, a telepathic message from the Main Body suddenly sounded.
“Cheng Ling is looking for us.”
Cheng Hong Ling notified.
“She’s looking for me too? That’s quite rare.”
Qi Huang said in surprise, then allowed the Main Body to summon her back to her Sea of Consciousness.
“How is it? Have you thought it through? Then tell me the method to control the Assimilation Power, and I can overlook your past actions.”
Cheng Hong Ling said, looking at the bound Cheng Ling.
“You are me, and I am you. Do you think I am the kind of person who would yield?”
Cheng Ling smiled noncommittally.
“Then why did you ask me to come in?”
Cheng Hong Ling frowned unpleasantly.
“Can you tell me why you insisted on preventing me from completely assimilating Qi Huang?”
Cheng Ling looked at Qi Huang with unkind eyes.
“I remember telling you before that she is she, and I am me. You have no right to deprive others of everything.”
Cheng Hong Ling reiterated.
“Is that so?”
A hint of disdain appeared on Cheng Ling’s face. “Haven’t you fallen in love with her? So you’re afraid she’ll lose interest in you after being assimilated.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Cheng Hong Ling became agitated, her gaze shifting evasively, and a trace of blush appeared on her pretty face.
Qi Huang was also greatly shaken and fantasized happily: “If only she really liked me!”
“Isn’t it?”
Cheng Ling chuckled teasingly, then said seriously, “I must remind you again, once she is seen by the Yin-Yang Eyes, the consequences will be dire. Not only will the secular world of the entire Cult realm covet this Assimilation Power, but the Heavenly Dao will also not permit a person who transforms from male to female to exist in this world.”
“Is that all you have to say?”
Cheng Hong Ling turned to leave.
Qi Huang followed, thinking that she didn’t need this reminder.
“There’s also one more thing, why has your cultivation speed increased so much recently?”
Cheng Ling continued to inquire.
“Why should I tell you?”
Cheng Hong Ling continued to walk with elegant steps.
“Even if you don’t say it, I know. It must be with Qi Huang’s help. Besides her, no one else around you can do this.”
Cheng Ling speculated, then reminded her seriously: “If you want to stay alive, sprinkle some Heaven-Concealing Water on yourself as soon as possible.”
“Why? I’m not a Heavenly Punishment Realm expert?”
Cheng Hong Ling stopped.
Qi Huang also listened intently; she was very concerned about any matters related to herself.
“You probably don’t know that my Assimilation Power can shield the Heavenly Dao’s Will, right?”
Cheng Ling asked instead of answering.
“Hehe, what? Finally opening up? I thought you would take your secret to the grave.”
Cheng Hong Ling quipped sarcastically.
“Disappointment, I actually know. And I also know that the Assimilation Power belongs to another Heavenly Dao and originates from a zombie named Lu Yao.”
“How do you know this?”
Cheng Ling’s small mouth gaped in disbelief.
