452: Chapter 430: Xiu Niang’s Threat_1 452: Chapter 430: Xiu Niang’s Threat_1 Xiu Niang laughed and licked her tongue, saying, “To think you’ve recognized me so quickly, it seems I really do carry some weight in your heart!”
Lu Chuan looked at Xiu Niang with furrowed brows and said, “Haven’t you been completely eradicated by me?
Why are you still appearing in Nanqing’s body?”
Smiling, Xiu Niang said, “I must say, your method of separating and eliminating my Nascent Soul was truly powerful, but after all, I have lived for hundreds of years, and my identity, when I still had a physical body, was not as simple as you think.
How could I possibly be without some life-preserving tricks up my sleeve?”
“Before you eradicated my Nascent Soul, I had already split it into two through a Secret Technique, one acting defenseless, full of despair as if ready to be eliminated by you, while the other was hidden deep within Mu Nanqing’s soul.”
“I have a method to completely conceal my Nascent Soul’s aura, rendering it undetectable by you, which is how I managed to deceive you.
However, this cost me greatly, resulting in the loss of half of my Nascent Soul.”
Xiu Niang continued with a gleam in her eyes, “Originally, I hated you intensely, but after experiencing your strong physique and techniques, my feelings towards you have grown to include both love and hate.”
Lu Chuan, grinding his teeth, asked, “So the person who sent me those messages was you?
And the one who called me last night as well?”
Xiu Niang nodded with a smile, “Correct.
Once I fooled you, I began to find ways to restore my power.
Unexpectedly, Mu Nanqing’s soul possessed an immense power, which gave me the chance to make a comeback.
I’ve been waiting until my strength recovered enough to wrestle control of the body from Mu Nanqing, and then I took over when she least expected it, luring you back with a message.”
Lu Chuan frowned and said, “Nanqing’s soul is very special, and since you’ve lost half of your Nascent Soul, even in her unguarded state, it should have been impossible for you to seize control of the body.
With a sardonic smile, Xiu Niang said, “Under normal circumstances, it’s true that I couldn’t have taken control of the body, but this time, I wagered everything I had.
I managed to seize control of the body by betting the remaining half of my Nascent Soul!”
“However, as you said, her soul is indeed special, which almost caused me to be suppressed by her yesterday.
To stabilize my control over the body, I had no choice but to leave this place; otherwise, you would have definitely noticed something amiss when you returned.
Fortunately, in the end, I was the one who managed to control the body; otherwise, I might have missed the chance to have you ravish me intensely!”
Narrowing his eyes while looking at Xiu Niang, Lu Chuan asked, “What exactly is your purpose in doing all this?”
Moving close to Lu Chuan, Xiu Niang ran her hand sensually over his chest and cooed, “For the pleasure of entwining with you, of course.
My performance was quite impressive today, wasn’t it?
After all, I’ve been holding back for hundreds of years.
Didn’t you notice that I am more engaged and enjoy it more than Mu Nanqing?”
Lu Chuan’s anger surged as he clenched Xiu Niang’s neck firmly, hissing, “You’re courting death!”
Unperturbed, Xiu Niang looked at Lu Chuan with a smile, “You really shouldn’t be impulsive.
If you kill me, your beloved Mu Nanqing dies too.
Don’t squeeze too hard.
The pain may be mine, but Mu Nanqing’s body is the one getting hurt.”
Lu Chuan, wanting badly to teach her a lesson but constrained by the fact that she and Mu Nanqing shared the same body, was left with no choice but to let go of her neck.
He snorted coldly and said, “If I could eradicate you once, I can do it a second time.
I don’t believe you can split and hide another half of your Nascent Soul again!”
Laughing, Xiu Niang said, “Since I’ve managed to trick you into coming back, do you think I haven’t considered that?”
“I can tell you with utmost responsibility that the reason I was able to wrest control of the body is that I exhausted the life force of the remaining half of my Nascent Soul.
Given my current state, I have at most just one more month to live.”
“Moreover, I have deeply bound my Nascent Soul with Mu Nanqing’s soul this time, fully prepared to perish together with her.
In one month, when the strength of my Nascent Soul is drained, she will die as well, and if you try to forcibly eradicate me, she won’t survive either.”
Anxious upon hearing her words, Lu Chuan blurted angrily, “She has no grievance against you, why on earth would you harm her so!
Is it just to get back at me?
But this is all because of your own doing!”
Waving her hand, Xiu Niang said, “Don’t be hasty, let me finish.
I’m not doing this to kill Mu Nanqing and take revenge on you.
On the contrary, I’m doing this to reconcile with you.”
Confusion showed on Lu Chuan’s face, “Reconcile with me?”
Nodding, Xiu Niang responded, “Exactly.
If I truly intended for Mu Nanqing to die with me and thus avenge myself on you, I wouldn’t have bothered to call you back.”
“I’ve thought it over; it was indeed too cautious of me to refuse your offer to help reconstruct my body.
For that, I’m willing to apologize, but you must understand, I’ve been through so much deceit and betrayal.
The human heart is the hardest to fathom.
Therefore, I can only trust myself.”
“Now, I have no other choice.
I don’t want to die just yet, so I can only request your help.”
“I have one more month to live, and so does Mu Nanqing.
If you don’t want her to die, help me find a way to rebuild a body within this month.
Once it’s done, I’ll leave her body voluntarily and won’t trouble her ever again.”
