Chapter 763: Can’t I Even Commit Suicide?
The four female spirit souls were terrified upon hearing this, their faces turning pale. They then pleaded with Cheng Hong Ling.
“Big Sister, please don’t commit suicide! You promised to let us become clones.”
“Wuwuwu, Big Sister, we haven’t even breathed a single breath of air since we were born. You can’t be so cruel.”
“Big Sister, wuwuwu, the Cultivation World is so wonderful, I still want to go out and see the vibrant world. I truly can’t bear to have my soul scattered like this!”
“Big Sister, our parents raised us with great hardship. You should at least let me call them father and mother once, so they know they have a daughter like me. Then I can die with no regrets.”
The four female spirit souls wept bitterly, their pleas extremely tragic.
“You are my sisters, and I don’t want to do this, but I am forced by circumstances…”
Cheng Hong Ling’s eyes turned slightly red. She calmed herself and said, “Think carefully yourselves. After being controlled by her, your main consciousness will disappear, which is equivalent to death. Would you rather die meaninglessly, or take this traitor down with you?”
The spirit souls’ eyes gradually cleared, and they began to glare at Cheng Ling with murderous intent. After all, they were one with Cheng Hong Ling, and their personalities were similar.
“Rest assured, my sisters. I solemnly promise here that as long as you submit to me, I will not use mental control on you. I will only assimilate you.”
Cheng Ling quickly declared.
“Really?”
The life-saving desire flickered in the eyes of the several female spirit souls again.
“Of course, it’s true. We are sisters, and I am not such a cold-blooded and heartless person. As long as you are obedient, how could I bear to slaughter you all?”
Cheng Ling swore earnestly.
Do you really believe her lies? Do you still remember what she just said? Can you trust such a fickle woman?
Cheng Hong Ling rebuked.
And so, Cheng Hong Ling and Cheng Ling began to accuse each other.
In reality, Cheng Hong Ling was not one to talk much, but she knew that the longer she dragged on, the smaller the opponent’s chances of turning the situation around would be, so she was deliberately wasting time.
As their bodies were eroded by that fragment, all seven souls were suffering greatly. Even Cheng Qi, the spirit soul in the HongHua Sect, and Cheng Jing, the essence soul, mentally transmitted to ask Cheng Hong Ling what had happened.
Meanwhile, Qi Huang in the storage ring was also affected. For some reason, she suddenly found vague images appearing in her mind, seemingly of acquaintances. She tried hard to see clearly, but she was unable to pierce through that pink mist.
Due to the intensifying pain, Cheng Ling was no longer in the mood to argue with Cheng Hong Ling. She urgently questioned Qi Huang, “With your powerful Spiritual Sense, can’t you think of a solution? What use are you to me?”
Qi Huang was a little scared. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her mind, and she quickly reported, “Big Sister, I’ve thought of a way.”
“What way?”
Cheng Ling asked with ecstatic joy.
“I cultivated the Body-Substitution Technique with Cheng Hong Ling before. As long as I smear Anemia Ointment on her body, I can seize the magpie’s nest and control this body. Then I can manipulate True Qi to resist the erosion of the fragment?”
“Then what are you waiting for? Hurry!”
Cheng Ling urged impatiently.
Qi Huang dared not delay. She quickly stripped off the main body’s clothes and smeared Anemia Ointment on it. If it were in the past, she might have had lascivious thoughts, but now, this naked, tender, and delicate body looked like a pig ready to be slaughtered during a festival. All she wanted was to rub salt into it.
Although Qi Huang was quick with her hands and feet, the speed of the fragment’s erosion still left her far behind. As the Yin Energy spread, Cheng Ling’s spirit body grew weaker and weaker, and the vague shadows in her mind became clearer.
Under Cheng Ling’s continuous urging, Qi Huang finally smeared Anemia Ointment all over the main body’s body and then turned to enter the Sea of Consciousness.
After entering the Sea of Consciousness, Qi Huang did not stop and walked into that ocean. Her soul immediately took control of the main body’s naked and delicate form.
“Mmmph…”
The next moment, Qi Huang’s cherry lips parted, letting out a soft and charming whimper. Due to the widespread erosion of Yin Energy, she felt as if she were in a raging fire, with not an inch of flesh and blood that wasn’t in pain.
Qi Huang gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and then mobilized the remaining True Qi in her body to fight against the Yin Energy. Although the True Qi in the main body was already scarce, Qi Huang was not flustered at all. Her Spiritual Sense was extremely sharp, so when she circulated the Shui Linglong cultivation technique, she could quickly absorb True Qi, which was enough for a protracted battle.
As time passed, the Yin Energy was gradually compressed back into the fragment by Qi Huang.
An even more surprising thing happened. Because Cheng Hong Ling’s body still had residual power from the Heaven Mending Crystal, after the Yin Energy receded, it began to generate new flesh and blood to compensate.
“This Heaven Mending Crystal is truly a divine medicine. No wonder the Immortal Alliance racked their brains to obtain it.”
Qi Huang couldn’t help but exclaim again.
With both measures working, Cheng Hong Ling’s body gradually improved, and the seven souls also felt the pain in their bodies gradually decrease.
“Haha, it seems that Heaven is on my side. Your reign is over.”
Cheng Ling became radiant again.
What is going on?
Cheng Hong Ling looked around in confusion.
“Thanks to the person you like, she occupied your body using the Body-Substitution Technique and used True Qi to suppress that fragment.”
Cheng Ling said mockingly.
“Can’t I even commit suicide?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s expression changed drastically, and she then closed her eyes in pain. She had schemed meticulously, yet she still couldn’t save Qi Huang.
“It must feel bad to be betrayed by the one you love, right? If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you had chosen me back then, how could you have fallen to this point? You truly brought this upon yourself.”
Cheng Ling added insult to injury.
Cheng Hong Ling did not waste any words. Her powerful Spiritual Sense suddenly crushed towards Cheng Ling without any warning, preparing for a last-ditch effort.
Although Qi Huang was cultivating to suppress the fragment, her Spiritual Sense was constantly monitoring the Great Hall in the Sea of Consciousness, so she immediately released her Spiritual Sense to protect Cheng Ling.
Cheng Hong Ling’s fierce strike met Qi Huang’s Spiritual Sense shield, and not even a ripple was created. However, she did not give up because of this. She gritted her teeth and continued to release her Spiritual Sense, like a stubborn little girl.
The three male souls beside them did not stand by idly. They also released their Spiritual Sense to attack Cheng Ling, but their gap with Qi Huang was not something that could be compensated by numbers, so they still couldn’t shake it in the slightest.
Although Qi Huang was multitasking, she still pushed the Yin Energy back into the fragment and then returned to the Great Hall of the Sea of Consciousness.
“Reporting to Big Sister, I have suppressed the fragment.”
Qi Huang respectfully reported, then casually released her Spiritual Sense to restrain Cheng Hong Ling and the three male souls.
“Haha, well done. I actually like you a little.”
Cheng Ling patted Qi Huang on the shoulder appreciatively, then feigned distress, “Unfortunately, you only have one body, and only one of us can live. You…”
June, Qi Huang thought, will she blame me?
How could she? It’s my honor to sacrifice for Big Sister.
Qi Huang quickly pledged her loyalty.
“Very good, Big Sister will remember your sacrifice. After you die, I will erect a monumental tablet for you that is even larger than the Immortal Tablet.”
Cheng Ling said generously, then walked towards the three male souls and said, “Alright, let’s continue.”
The three male souls were once again scared pale, and they all dodged backward.
“Don’t be afraid, I swear you will all come to like the feeling of being a girl. Not only will you be beautiful yourselves, but you can also wear gorgeous little dresses, be doted on by your parents every day. You won’t be forced to do what you can’t, because you are girls. And you won’t have to do anything you can, because there are sycophants everywhere. Isn’t this better than being a smelly man?”
Cheng Hong Ling persuaded gently, then said to Qi Huang, “Keep them restrained for me, I’m going to start assimilating.”
“Don’t worry, Big Sister.”
Qi Huang replied respectfully.
“Very good!”
Cheng Ling smiled so much that her mouth twitched. She gathered her pink assimilation power and slowly pressed it towards Huang Tian’s chest, reminding him, “Say goodbye to your male life.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s eyes were bloodshot, and then she struggled desperately. Her delicate body trembled violently from the excessive force, because she knew that once these three male souls were assimilated, Qi Huang would not just be a puppet, but would completely vanish.
The hand of Cheng Ling, which was controlling the assimilation power, was just about to press onto Huang Tian’s chest when it was suddenly grasped by a Spiritual Sense Arm, unable to advance an inch further.
Everyone’s face showed expressions of astonishment, and they all looked towards the direction from which the Spiritual Sense Arm had come.
