Wen Zhixing had met Shen Lingjun a total of only twice. Once, by a twist of fate, she had aided him in his elixir breakthrough, and another time they were accomplices in stealing elixirs and Spiritual Instruments from the Wonderous Palace.
At that time, he had realized Shen Lingjun was most likely from the Righteous Sun Sect. The fact that Shen Lingjun could show up here so openly confirmed this suspicion.
Only, why was she following Hua Yourong?
Wen Zhixing slightly furrowed his brows. Strange.
"Junior Brother Wang."
Seeing the door open, Hua Yourong immediately curved her brows into a gentle smile, twisted her waist, and came directly to meet him.
Wen Zhixing felt a fragrant breeze wash over his face, and his body instinctively grew restless. It wasn’t that his self-control was too poor, but rather, his Constitution and cultivation skill were to blame. Hold it in!
Wen Zhixing kept his composure, sticking his rear out slightly as he bowed respectfully, just as he had before.
At this moment, the devil seed in his mind also stirred, as if responding to some summons. It felt like having a powerful backer, making one stand taller.
Wen Zhixing let it activate. His Sea of Sense began to be contaminated, and a flash of Devil Qi flickered over his body.
Seeing this, Hua Yourong nodded in satisfaction.
During her days in prison, her greatest fear had been a problem arising with Wang Shouzhen. Fortunately, the devil seed was still present; everything remained under her control.
Liu Qingxuan had not widely publicized Wen Zhixing’s acceptance as a core disciple. Most people in the Righteous Sun Sect still did not know of this. Hua Yourong, having just been released from prison, naturally wouldn’t be aware of these developments either.
"Little guy, your scent is still so nice."
Just then, the Shen Lingjun who stood behind stepped forward, sniffing him with her delicate, upturned nose. A pair of sharp little canine teeth peeked out, probing gently at Wen Zhixing’s neck.
Wen Zhixing was taken aback. Wait. This action is so familiar...
His eyes widened slightly. No, this person... isn’t Shen Lingjun!
"Hmph, how presumptuous!" Hua Yourong scolded in a low voice, and a powerful, oppressive aura emerged.
Shen Lingjun’s body stiffened. She was pressed down by a tremendous force and knelt heavily on the ground. A look of panic flashed through her large, clear eyes.
"Remember, your current identities are disciples of the Wonderous Palace, understand?!" Hua Yourong’s eyes shone with authority. As her violent aura flashed, the others quickly knelt in unison. "Yes, Lord, we understand."
"From now on, call me Senior Sister."
"Yes, yes, Senior Sister." They all nodded repeatedly.
This is... possession!
Seeing this, Wen Zhixing’s heart sank. He had known before that these demon generals could possess the bodies of the human race, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly. Hua Yourong must have just been released from prison and then immediately re-entered the Devil Sealing Cave to rescue these four demon generals.
"Remember to protect their divine souls; otherwise, it’s easy to give yourselves away," Hua Yourong reminded them in a low voice. The Righteous Sun Sect had many strong cultivators. If these demon generals operated with bodies lacking divine souls, they would inevitably be exposed.
The four half-kneeling demon generals nodded repeatedly. "We understand."
They’re not dead yet? Wen Zhixing revealed a hint of surprise. That means there’s still hope...
"Alright, you all may leave for now. In a few days, you will return to the Wonderous Palace with me," Hua Yourong instructed again.
"Yes, Senior Sister." The four demon generals dared not disobey. They bowed deeply, retreated, and vanished in an instant.
Wen Zhixing was surprised by her words. Strange. Hua Yourong actually wants to return to the Wonderous Palace? Has she given up on finding me?
Once the others left, Hua Yourong’s expression turned soft and alluring again. She took Wen Zhixing’s hand and said, "Junior Brother, follow your Senior Sister inside."
Wen Zhixing stiffened. No way! She just got out, and she’s already looking for this?
[Your body is full of Yang Qi, ready to be released!]
[Your body is full of Yang Qi, ready to be released!]
[Your body is full of Yang Qi, ready to be released!]
The panel prompts, finally seizing their chance, emerged again. This was when they were most active.
"Senior Sister Hua, it’s broad daylight..." Wen Zhixing paused slightly, trying to refuse. "It’s easy to get spotted."
"It’s fine. Senior Sister just wants to aid your cultivation." Hua Yourong pursed her lips and smiled. Her slender white hands exerted a bit of force, directly guiding Wen Zhixing into the house. "Don’t be afraid. Come."
Damn it, you asked for this! Wen Zhixing steeled his heart. Now that I have the Nine-Turns Sun Sutra empowering me, let’s see if you can withstand it!
The door to the room closed.
[Your Nine-Turns Sun Sutra begins to operate rapidly!]
[Your Purgatory Furnace is ready, set to full power, to devour Spiritual Qi!]
Soon, soft moans came from inside the house. The sounds were low and faint, like snow falling silently on the ground. By the sandalwood bed lay a pair of long, fair legs, their delicate, fair toes slightly curled...
Then, the sounds grew louder, like water flowing subtly under pebbles in a stream.
"Junior Brother, you..." Hua Yourong was somewhat surprised. Why did it feel like Wang Shouzhen was even more intense than last time? She was struggling to resist this sudden, rain-like onslaught.
Is this... the potential of the Inverted Phoenix Nurturing Body...? Hua Yourong’s vision blurred. The Spiritual Qi inside her was being drained rapidly, at a pace incomparably faster than before. She felt a bit dizzy.
To think there’s actually such a good thing... Wen Zhixing, however, was lost in thought. He couldn’t understand why Hua Yourong was willingly letting him absorb her Spiritual Qi.
Who cares! Wen Zhixing intensified his efforts. This Spiritual Qi was a great supplement for him. He discovered that his Nine-Turns Sun Sutra was operating with particular swiftness today.
