“Yes! Elder Sister!”
Qi Huang agreed without hesitation. After being assimilated by Cheng Ling’s spirit, she was purely a puppet and had no intention of resisting.
Qi Huang accepted the order, and three soul bonds immediately shot out, dragging Huang Tian, Huang Di, and Huang Ren, the three unlucky fellows, to her side in the blink of an eye.
“What happened?”
The three looked at each other, but quickly reacted and immediately fled outside in panic.
Qi Huang was quick-handed, and three soul bonds shot out again, forcefully pulling the three male souls back.
The three male souls were greatly alarmed and struggled desperately, but the strongest among them, Huang Ren, was only at the peak of the Shentong Realm and could not break free at all.
“Elder Brother, you’ve turned against me in less than the time it takes to eat a meal?”
Huang Ren forced out a smile that was uglier than crying. He was the strongest among them, but under his main body, he was like an infant, completely unable to resist.
Qi Huang remained unresponsive. After being assimilated, she was equivalent to Cheng Ling’s replica, and she also did not want male presences in her clone.
“Elder Brother, didn’t you ask me to take care of our parents? Have you forgotten?”
Huang Tian shouted in panic, hoping to awaken the consciousness of his main body with family affection.
“Yes, yes, if something happens to us, who will take care of our parents?”
Huang Di excitedly agreed.
Qi Huang remained indifferent. After being assimilated, she was equivalent to Cheng Ling’s clone, so how could she have any feelings for “Qi Huang’s” parents? Instead, she felt an indescribable disgust.
“Stop wasting your breath. She’s no longer your elder brother, but this fairy’s little sister.”
Cheng Ling sneered repeatedly.
“What exactly do you want to do?”
Huang Tian questioned with a bluster and bluff.
“Then let’s be direct. I will immediately possess your main body’s body and become your Life Soul.”
Cheng Ling said frankly.
“Congratulations! Congratulations! So what does this have to do with us? We can’t resist you anyway!”
Huang Tian asked with a glimmer of hope, and the other two male souls nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
“Yes, you really can’t resist me.”
Cheng Ling narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and continued, “However, I am a woman, and a woman with潔癖. Therefore, I absolutely will not allow the existence of males in my soul. So, I’ve decided to assimilate all of you into sisters.”
“Is that necessary? As the saying goes, opposites attract. It would be good to keep the three of us as mere decorations.”
Huang Ren quickly persuaded.
“This is looking at it from a small perspective. Speaking more broadly, there is already an imbalance between men and women in the Cultivation World, and women have low status. If you turn me into a woman too, wouldn’t that be equivalent to demeaning yourself?”
Huang Di analyzed with reason and evidence.
“Furthermore, a person’s gender is determined at birth. If you turn us into women, aren’t you afraid of the Heavenly Dao discovering it? You must be cautious with your words and actions.”
Huang Tian racked his brains to add, trying desperately to preserve the men’s masculinity.
“Humph, Heavenly Dao? Wait until it wakes up.”
Cheng Ling snorted indifferently, then looked at Cheng Hong Ling with ill intentions and said, “After turning the three of you into sisters, it will be their turn.”
“We are already women, what else do you want?”
Cheng Hong Ling questioned in a low voice.
“I ask. You are indeed women, but you are disobedient! I need to make you as obedient as Qi Huang and the others.”
Cheng Ling raised her willow eyebrows.
“Your ambition is quite big.”
Cheng Hong Ling said sarcastically.
“It’s not ambition. You are me, and I am you. You should know my personality. This is called decisive action, eliminating future troubles forever.”
Cheng Ling stood up elegantly, then slowly walked towards the three male souls and said, “First, I’ll assimilate the three of you, and then I’ll slowly deal with my family matters.”
“Cheng Ling! Cheng Ling! Just as you said, you are me, and I am you. Do you think I’m the type to just sit and wait for death?”
Cheng Hong Ling suddenly raised her head and smiled.
“Of course not, but I’m also sure that you can’t make any waves now. With Qi Huang here, you can’t even leave this Sea of Consciousness Great Hall. What can you do except accept your fate? I even feel sorry for you.”
Cheng Ling sighed hypocritically.
“I can’t make any waves now, but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t before.”
Cheng Hong Ling revealed a chilling smile.
At this moment, Cheng Ling suddenly frowned, showing a hint of discomfort.
“What? Did you feel it?”
The corners of Cheng Hong Ling’s mouth turned up.
“What did you do?”
Cheng Ling touched her chest where she felt discomfort.
“What’s going on? I also feel a sharp pain in my chest, and my heart feels like it’s being pricked by needles.”
“We are soul bodies, how can we feel pain?”
“No, Third Sister, aren’t you feeling the pain? I also feel…”
“It hurts so much!”
“I don’t!”
“I don’t either!”
“What’s going on? Why does only the soul feel pain, but the soul body feels nothing?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s female souls also descended into chaos. Among the remaining two souls and four spirits, four spirits also felt discomfort, while the Earth Soul and Human Soul were unaffected.
“What did I do?”
Cheng Hong Ling revealed a mocking smile: “Hehe, I just want to tell you through actions that the main body is the main body, and the clone is the clone. You will never be able to step on my head.”
Cheng Ling stopped arguing and endured the pain, falling into thought, muttering, “The soul is fine, but the soul body feels unwell. What exactly is going on?”
“Not good!”
A moment later, Cheng Ling suddenly realized something and said to Qi Huang beside her, “Quick, go out and see what happened to this body.”
“Yes!”
Qi Huang accepted the order, then walked out of the Sea of Consciousness Great Hall with elegant and swift steps.
“My soul sisters, I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t fulfill my promise.”
Cheng Hong Ling suddenly turned to the few souls and said.
“Elder Sister, why did you suddenly apologize? What is going on? Why do we feel so uncomfortable?”
Tian Chongpo asked in confusion.
“Yes! And why do we two souls feel nothing.”
The Earth Soul looked at the Human Soul beside him.
Cheng Hong Ling did not explain, her face filled with apology, and she fell silent.
Qi Huang had already arrived in the storage ring in reality. She carefully observed the main body’s body with her spiritual sense.
A moment later, Qi Huang’s eyes widened in horror. Because she didn’t know when, Cheng Hong Ling had given up suppressing the strange fragment on her heart. The fragment was now releasing terrifying black blood, madly eroding the main body’s body. Wherever it passed, yin energy permeated, and life was extinguished. It had already eroded the entire chest and was rapidly spreading outwards.
Although Qi Huang had no good feelings towards Cheng Hong Ling after being assimilated, this was still her “Elder Sister’s” body. Once she died, all seven souls, including Cheng Ling, would instantly vanish, and only the Life Soul and the Heaven, Earth, and Human Souls would be spared.
Qi Huang now understood Cheng Hong Ling’s intentions completely. She knew that she absolutely could not let this body be harmed, but the problem was how to stop it? She had powerful spiritual sense, but it was completely useless in this situation.
Qi Huang was somewhat at a loss and immediately reported the situation of the body to Cheng Ling in the Sea of Consciousness.
“What?”
Upon learning of this, Cheng Ling was thrown into a panic. She looked at Cheng Hong Ling in shock: “Are you crazy? You’re willing to use self-destruction to deal with me?”
“Is it that strange? You are me, and I am you. You should know my personality.”
Cheng Hong Ling retorted.
Cheng Ling was immediately choked into silence. As the pain in her body intensified, she became as anxious as an ant on a hot wok, pacing back and forth. After a moment, her expression changed, and she tried to sow discord: “Cheng Hong Ling, you are so heartless! It’s one thing for you to be so cold and ruthless to me, but what about them?”
Cheng Ling pointed at the four innocent souls and said, “They are innocent. You once promised to make them your clones, but now you’re making them accompany me to their deaths. Have you lost your conscience?”
