Returning to her room at night, the system began to remind Gu Shengyin: "The poison Cheng Lingyu administered to Cheng Lingyue has started to take effect."
It must be said, Cheng Lingyu is a ruthless and cautious person.
When Cheng Lingyue bullied her, she took the opportunity to inject poison into Cheng Lingyue’s body during a confrontation.
It has been several months since then, and she has already entered the Second Prince’s Mansion; even if Cheng Lingyue dies from the poison now, no one would oppress her anymore.
Fortunately, before she left, she instructed her trusted confidant, An Yu in the Tianxuan continent, "This is the antidote. Use it to cure Cheng Lingyue when her poison starts acting up. Remember, let her taste the bitterness first before giving her the antidote."
Her fourth sister’s actions were somewhat excessive, so let her suffer a bit this time to temper her temperament.
Following her master’s instructions, An Yu did not immediately give Cheng Lingyue the antidote after the poison manifested. Instead, she waited until Cheng Lingyue had consulted several doctors and suffered several days of torment before sneaking into her courtyard one night and placing a handwritten letter and a bottle of antidote on the table.
The letter specified that it was a punishment for her past biting tongue and taking advantage of others.
She would be let off this time, but if there was a next time, no one would save her.
This scare did indeed change Cheng Lingyue’s disposition; she didn’t become as timid and weak as Cheng Lingyu before, but she became more cautious in her words and actions.
Cheng Lingyu did not know about this matter, assuming Cheng Lingyue was already dead to her.
At this moment, she was in her room, gazing at a blurred sheepskin scroll.
She had acquired it by chance among the ancient books in the Second Prince’s Mansion, and it recorded information about soul possession. Since the act of possession was rather rare, few people paid attention to it.
She slowly looked at the contents on it.
Recently, she had often been having a dream at night, dreaming of herself in a dark place, where her body was a virtual shadow, emitting a faint glow.
Not far ahead, there lay another similar phantom quietly suspended in mid-air, with features exactly like Cheng Lingyu’s.
At first, she did not understand what it meant until she later researched the ancient books,
it was only after this investigation that she realized that she hadn’t completely gained a new life.
The place she visited in her dreams was actually the consciousness sea of this body.
Her soul had arrived in this body, but the original owner, Cheng Lingyu’s soul had not disappeared, merely entered a slumber.
The frequent dreams of this scene signaled that Cheng Lingyu’s soul was gradually becoming stronger, and when it awoke, it would be the moment she was expelled from this body.
How could she allow such a thing to happen?
For Cheng Ling, arriving in this alien world after death was a gift bestowed by heaven.
Since she had returned to life in Cheng Lingyu’s body, she was now Cheng Lingyu.
As for the original Cheng Lingyu—since you’ve been asleep for so long, you needn’t ever wake again; continue to sleep eternally.
The sheepskin scroll contained a method to expel a soul from a body, which was essentially a complete soul possession technique.
However, Cheng Ling had already inadvertently accomplished the most challenging part of the soul’s intrusion by chance.
Now, there’s only one step left, to repel the original owner’s soul and completely obtain this body.
