Chapter 75: What’s Wrong with Being Feminized?
Qi Huang’s sudden “takeoff” was not a whim. Sometimes, to obtain more resources, one had to reveal some strength instead of always hiding it. In any case, as long as her hair, her trump card, wasn’t exposed, it wouldn’t be a big problem.
Xu Mei was startled, staggering back a few steps, her face displaying a look of profound shock.
Cheng Hong Ling, who was always serious, could no longer maintain her aloof expression. She slightly parted her small lips, her beautiful eyes wide open, as if she had seen a ghost.
Qi Huang looked down from above, a hint of pride on her face, floating around in the air as if showing off.
“What… what movement technique is this? She can actually fly?”
Xu Mei turned her head and asked her beloved disciple with a somewhat numb expression.
“This isn’t a movement technique, but rather flight powered by powerful spiritual sense.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s expression was unusually complicated. The current clone was like a kite with a broken string in her eyes, gradually slipping out of her control.
Indeed, with Qi Huang’s current strength, if she were to use all her trump cards, she could completely contend with the main body.
“Flying with spiritual sense? Isn’t that an ability only those in the Huashen realm possess?”
Xu Mei asked in disbelief.
“Her spiritual sense is now much more powerful than mine. It seems she has indeed reached the Huashen realm.”
Cheng Hong Ling explained, her voice carrying a distinct sense of dejection. Being surpassed by a clone, even if it was just spiritual sense, was quite shameful for her as the main body.
“How is this possible? Although my cultivation level is low, I have basic common sense. It is said that a clone’s strength can at most reach 80% of the main body’s, both in cultivation and spiritual sense. But why is her spiritual sense surpassing yours?”
Xu Mei discovered something inexplicable.
“I don’t know either. Anyway, I couldn’t see through this clone from the beginning.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s expression became solemn.
“It seems her mind isn’t broken, but rather our vision is too shortsighted.”
Xu Mei chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Qi Huang also noticed the conversation between the master and disciple below. She no longer dared to be ostentatious and landed obediently.
“When did your spiritual sense break through to the Huashen realm?”
Cheng Hong Ling immediately began to “interrogate.”
“Just not long ago!”
Qi Huang feigned composure and gave a perfunctory answer.
“How did you break through?”
Cheng Hong Ling continued to press.
“It just broke through inexplicably!”
Qi Huang answered guiltily.
“It broke through inexplicably? Then show me how you inexplicably broke through to the Shentong Realm now?”
Cheng Hong Ling slightly narrowed her beautiful eyes, a dangerous glint appearing in them.
“I… I already said it was inexplicable, and it’s not like I can control it.”
Qi Huang stammered.
“Heh heh, do you think I would believe that?”
Cheng Hong Ling said with a half-smile.
Qi Huang was speechless, lowering her head and meekly rubbing the hem of her skirt. Even though her strength had grown, she still felt a sense of fear towards Cheng Hong Ling, whether it was the pressure from the main body or a habit formed from past inferiority.
“Forget it. Her spiritual sense reaching the Huashen realm is ultimately a good thing. Being able to fly greatly increases the chances of successfully luring away that Blue Scale King Snake.”
Xu Mei quickly mediated.
Cheng Hong Ling withdrew her gaze, her expression softening slightly.
Qi Huang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, cursing herself internally for being so useless. She used to be a big man.
“And there’s another benefit. With Qi Huang’s spiritual sense now at the Huashen realm, she can impersonate a true Huashen realm expert perfectly. This way, you can move around freely as the clone. You won’t have to hide at home like before. Anyway, no one will know which one is the main body and which is the clone.”
Xu Mei added.
“Master, you mean for me to be the clone and for her to be the main body?”
Cheng Hong Ling confirmed in disbelief.
“Is there a problem with that? It’s just impersonation anyway, and as you said, whether clone or main body, it’s still you, isn’t it? You’re not going to be jealous of yourself, are you?”
Xu Mei asked with a half-smile.
“Heh heh…”
Cheng Hong Ling forced a smile and then glared fiercely at Qi Huang.
‘Why are you glaring at me? This wasn’t my request.’
Qi Huang felt a little wronged.
…
At this moment, within Qi Huang’s Sea of Consciousness, Cheng Hong Ling’s “Spiritual Wisdom” was looking out through a window in the great hall. From there, everything happening outside could be seen. This was the “window of the soul.”
“Poor Life Soul, you probably never dreamed that the person standing in front of you isn’t your clone.”
The Spiritual Wisdom slightly raised her rosy lips, revealing a hint of charming, eerie beauty.
Then, she turned to the six feminized spiritual souls around her and said, “Sisters, let’s try again. We must push open that Heart Door.”
After saying this, she led the six feminized spiritual souls to the Heart Door and pushed together with all their might. The six pairs of fair, delicate jade hands looked slender and tender, and didn’t seem to possess much strength. In fact, after pushing for a long time, the Heart Door remained unmoved.
“The Life Soul of this body is becoming stronger and stronger, and the Heart Door is becoming incredibly heavy. It seems impossible to push it open just like this.”
After a long time, Cheng Hong Ling’s Spiritual Wisdom gave up and began to ponder.
After pondering for a long time, she walked to a corner. In that place, the three souls and one spirit that had not yet been feminized were bound, still in the appearance of “Huang Qi.”
“Listen carefully, things are very urgent now. I must go out for a while, otherwise, even if one of you becomes the Life Soul in the future and takes control of this body, you’ll still end up in jail.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s Spiritual Wisdom said to the four male souls that had not yet been feminized.
“You think we would believe you?”
Qi Huang’s Human Soul said timidly.
“Don’t believe me? Then I’ll explain it to you properly.”
The Spiritual Wisdom wasn’t in a hurry and began to explain slowly: “Because of the outbreak, women are all fleeing to the Immortal Sects, causing extreme difficulty for men in the mortal world to find wives. You should be very clear about this, right?”
Qi Huang’s four male souls looked at each other, offering no rebuttal, effectively admitting it.
“And this body, due to a human skin mask from my main body, directly underwent sex change. If ordinary people found out, have you thought about what would happen? Both my main body and this body would be captured by those powerful warriors in the mortal world, then confined for dissection and research. They can’t deal with ghosts, but they have no problem dealing with cultivators at all.”
The Spiritual Wisdom kindly reminded them.
The faces of Qi Huang’s four male souls gradually changed, and they all became panicked.
“Now you understand the seriousness of the matter? But my main body knows nothing about this, and the Life Soul of this body is still completely unaware of the danger. Do you think I have a reason to go out and remind them?”
The Spiritual Wisdom retorted.
“As long as this body doesn’t say anything, who would know about this matter?”
Qi Huang’s Heavenly Soul said, holding onto a sliver of hope.
“There’s no impenetrable wall. Do you think that Heart Door can only be opened from the inside? Moreover, there are many immortal arts in this world that can read memories. If they don’t know, they will be exposed sooner or later.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s Spiritual Wisdom shook her head with pity.
“Then what do you want? For us to help you push open the Heart Door?”
Qi Huang’s Earth Soul probed.
“Yes, I’ll go out and inform them of this matter, and then I’ll return immediately.”
The Spiritual Wisdom made a sincere promise.
“Don’t dream. How could we believe you? Although we are like prisoners right now, at least we still have our own consciousness. Once you go out and don’t come back, we will quickly be assimilated. What’s the difference between that and death?”
The Human Soul said with great vigilance.
“I promise I’ll be back on time.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s Spiritual Wisdom promised again. Her clear black and white eyes looked exceptionally pure and innocent.
“Only a ghost would believe that!”
Qi Huang’s male souls all shook their heads.
“Why are you so stubborn? What’s wrong with being assimilated? Look at them, how beautiful they are now? And look at yourselves, all pale and thin, and ugly. You feel inferior even seeing me. Why endure this? Assimilation isn’t really death, it’s just that your personality will change a bit. Look at them, living examples are right before your eyes. Do you still have any doubts?”
The Spiritual Wisdom pointed to the several spiritual souls she had feminized, trying to persuade them.
