CHAPTER 404: CHAPTER 253: AT WORST, I’LL MARRY YOU

This move... is quite disgusting...

Wen Zhixing looked at Lu Shangxing, who had completely transformed into a female corpse, and couldn’t help but stroke his chin.

It’s getting a bit interesting now.

Of course, the effect of this Divine Ability was not limited to this. There was still great potential waiting for him to develop. In certain specific moments, it should have extraordinary effects.

[Inborn Divine Ability continuously activated, life-span -1.]

[Current life-span: 1,921.]

"Disperse."

Seeing his life-span decrease by another year, Wen Zhixing promptly dispelled the Divine Ability. As soon as the Divine Ability was dispelled, Lu Shangxing’s body began to change rapidly, and everything started to return to normal.

[You successfully cast your Inborn Divine Ability, your insight into the Yin Yang Path +1.]

One year of life-span should last about five minutes of reversing Yin and Yang, Wen Zhixing calculated. My strength is ultimately still too weak. Otherwise, I wouldn’t need to consume so much life-span. But the advantage is that with each use, my understanding of the Yin Yang Path deepens a little more. This is also an investment in the future.

It’s time to get out.

Wen Zhixing casually collected Lu Shangxing’s corpse and, after a moment’s thought, summoned the Life Defying Blood Body. He had entered the secret chamber with Shao Zhengze just now. If only one person were to come out now, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from others.

"UGH?"

The Life Defying Blood Body, which had not appeared for some days, was startled by the surrounding scene.

"Put on these clothes, don’t speak, and follow me," Wen Zhixing said, tossing it a set of loose black robes.

"UGH."

The Life Defying Blood Body nodded obediently, quickly putting on the black robe to completely hide its body. It wasn’t very bright, but it was very obedient.

"Let’s go."

Wen Zhixing nodded. Though it wasn’t perfect, it doesn’t matter.

Immediately, the two of them swaggered out.

"Sir."

As soon as Wen Zhixing appeared, two guards outside the secret chamber respectfully saluted him. The secret chamber was Lu Shangxing’s private place, and what happened inside was basically unknown to the outside world.

"Mm."

Wen Zhixing, imitating Lu Shangxing’s usual demeanor, nodded coldly.

The two guards then turned to look at the Life Defying Blood Body, intending to greet it, but the oversized black robe made them pause slightly.

Is that Shao Zhengze? It doesn’t quite seem like it.

The face of the Life Defying Blood Body was hidden by the black cloak, but something was definitely off.

Just then, a thick smell of blood wafted from inside the secret chamber. The guards couldn’t help but turn their heads and look inside, their eyes trembling. They saw the interior of the secret chamber had turned completely dark red, with plenty of remnants of flesh stuck to the walls. After all, Shao Zhengze had been blasted into mincemeat inside. The scene within was like hell on earth.

This is... what happened...

the two guards thought, their hearts pounding intensely.

"Lu Zhong, don’t look at what you’re not supposed to see. Don’t talk about what you’re not supposed to say." Wen Zhixing suddenly patted one of them on the shoulder and spoke with a smile, though a flash of killing intent crossed his eyes.

The guard named Lu Zhong stiffened for a moment, then hastily averted his gaze, bowing his head. "Yes, Sir."

The other guard also bowed his head in fear.

RUMBLE...

The secret chamber closed, sealing the scene inside.

"Good."

Wen Zhixing glanced at the two guards, then turned and left, quite satisfied. He didn’t bother to explain what had happened inside at all. This was the confidence his current identity afforded him.

The two guards sighed in relief but didn’t think too much about it. No matter what Lu Shangxing was doing, it doesn’t matter as long as Sir is fine.

Now, it’s time to save someone, Wen Zhixing thought as he swaggered away, even showing his face in front of many people. Feeling that was enough, he reached a secluded area and promptly stored away the Life Defying Blood Body.

All the way, he had been preparing to carry out the next part of his plan. But the more he thought, the more Wen Zhixing frowned. He had realized a problem.

If I rescue either Si Nanyan or Feng Ruoli now, the other will naturally be closely guarded. Even with my many methods, it would be very difficult to get an opportunity to rescue the second person. Across the Sky is useful, but it cannot be used in quick succession. After all, the strain on my body is too great. Mainly, I still want to use Lu Shangxing’s identity. Otherwise, I could just take Si Nanyan with me to find Feng Ruoli and then use Across the Sky to escape. As for Shao Zhengze’s identity, it’s thoroughly useless. I can’t do much in the Lu Family with it anyway. Nor do I want to pretend to be Lu Shangxing to marry Si Nanyan. I’m waiting to watch the drama unfold tomorrow.

If only someone could help... Wen Zhixing pondered strategies as he walked.

Just then, a crisp voice came from not too far away.

"Brother! Brother!"

Wen Zhixing turned and saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen running towards him. She was dressed in a light pink Luo dress, with white embroidered shoes on her feet. Her hair was tied up high, her features delicate and petite, and she had two shallow dimples on her cheeks. At that moment, the girl’s face was adorned with a sweet smile, her eyes curved into crescents, giving off an impression of cuteness and purity.

Lu Ruoyun...

Memories flashed through Wen Zhixing’s mind. This girl was Lu Shangxing’s younger sister, Lu Ruoyun. Lu Shangxing himself wasn’t very old either, just over twenty. The siblings had grown up together and shared a very good relationship.

But later on, Lu Shangxing joined the Purple Cloud Divine Sect.
