Chapter 391

Several days pass without any sign of movement from the True Martial Holy Maiden. She’s probably still in the process of merging her soul with the body, Li Su thought. Even for this unique pair of sisters, exchanging bodies required time for the soul and body to integrate fully.

Li Su reflected for a moment, refraining from immediate action. Then, he sent a message to Mystic Moon (Yue Yue), asking her to gather information about the Vice Palace Masters of the Demon Saint Palace. If possible, he suggested she visit and inquire about any Palace Lord resembling the True Martial Holy Maiden. Li Su also gave Mystic Moon (Yue Yue) an outline of the True Martial Holy Maiden’s appearance.

Li Su intended to verify and confirm if what he saw in the dream world was real. Although he was certain that both individuals had entered the dream, double-checking was always safer. After sending the message, Li Su didn’t constantly keep an eye on her to avoid arousing suspicion from the True Martial Holy Maiden. Instead, he occasionally spent time with his attendants.

Li Su had also taken in one or two more attendants. Even though he already possessed the strength of a Heavenly Being, he knew he could not afford to be complacent. After accumulating some cultivation and enduring a period of tranquillity, Li Su intended to continue advancing. It’s about time for the Master to complete the fusion, Li Su thought. The Sect Leader had been in seclusion for more than two hundred years.

Before entering seclusion, she had already reached the fourth level of Refinement in the Illusionary Alchemy. Generally, celestial spirit roots could achieve Refinement around six to seven hundred years old and merge before reaching two thousand years old. The Sect Leader had systematic enhancements, which recently had become more potent. Her merging should be approaching soon. While it was true that Li Su had an increasing number of women, there were various remarkably talented individuals among them.

However, in Li Su’s heart, the position of the Sect Leader remained special. He still hoped that the Sect Leader would bear him children. He wondered what kind of spiritual roots their child would have.

No, one child was not enough! He hoped for several. The thought of the Sect Leader made Li Su’s heart itch, but unfortunately, she was in seclusion.

So, Li Su sought out some of his attendants and engaged in passionate affairs for several days. A year later, finally, the True Martial Holy Maiden showed signs of movement—she emerged from seclusion. “Yingying, how are you recovering?” As soon as the True Martial Holy Maiden came out of seclusion, Li Su went over to her.

“Husband, I’ve recovered quite well. This time, thanks to you, I was able to identify the hidden dangers,” the True Martial Holy Maiden said, looking no different than before. Li Su seized her small hand. With this gesture, a very subtle and almost imperceptible unnatural expression appeared in the depths of the True Martial Holy Maiden’s eyes.

The subtle unnaturalness passed silently. If Li Su hadn’t been paying close attention to her expression, he wouldn’t have noticed it at all. Indeed, the current True Martial Holy Maiden was no longer the previous one. She was now the Palace Master of the Demon Sacred Palace, to be precise, the Vice Palace Master.

According to the information obtained by Mystic Moon, the Demon Saint Palace had three main palace masters and three deputy palace masters. The one within the True Martial Holy Maiden was one of the deputy palace masters. Despite being a deputy palace master, her strength was extremely formidable, and her status was very high. Her position was even higher than the lord of the Demon Saint Palace. However, her strength was still at the Nascent Soul stage.

Regardless of how many tribulations the current occupant of the True Martial Holy Maiden’s body had undergone remain unknown. Regardless of the number, since she dared to come, Li Su’s strategy remained unchanged. After chatting with her for some time and finding no apparent flaws, Li Su directly led her into the inner chamber.

Li Su intentionally allowed her to make a move, allowing her several months. After these months passed, Li Su finally sensed something unusual. The witch employed extremely subtle methods, even more discreet than emotional influence. Her techniques were highly sophisticated, making them exceedingly difficult to detect.

She gradually infected Li Su during intimate moments when his emotional fluctuations were high. Then, she would trigger the detonation at the opportune moment. Li Su wasn’t entirely sure about the specific effects after the explosion, but judging from her intentions, there was a significant possibility that it aimed to lead Li Su into a state of demonic influence or some form of control.

Regardless of how sophisticated these methods were, Li Su could eliminate them when he obtained the rewards of more than a hundred years of cultivation. Even though the current reward for a hundred years of cultivation was converted into tribulation-crossing energy, Li Su could still infuse it into his body actively.

If his body were full and couldn’t accept more infusion, it would be wasted, but the accompanying effect would help Li Su eliminate these negative influences. The witch probably didn’t anticipate that, despite employing such sophisticated methods, she would encounter Li Su, who played by his own rules.

And then, Li Su repeatedly… Even if this was the body of the True Martial Holy Maiden, her sensations were real. It was likely that she felt a bit overwhelmed deep inside. Li Su unexpectedly continued for such an extended period. Something unexpected happened to this witch several months later—she became pregnant!

“How could this happen!” The witch’s mentality was slightly on edge. She became pregnant! Even though this was the body of the True Martial Holy Maiden, the pregnancy was undeniably real. Due to their twinned souls, if she genuinely wanted to take over the True Martial Holy Maiden’s body, she could likely accomplish it now that she had fused with her physical form.

This was more formidable than simply taking over. Possessing another body typically came with the risk of rejection, even if one could eliminate symptoms through cultivation. The hidden dangers were significant, especially when advancing realms or crossing tribulations. If prolonged, this exchange between her and the True Martial Holy Maiden could lead to complete integration into each other’s bodies.

Moreover, she discovered a new piece of information. The True Martial Holy Maiden had previously given birth to eight children for Li Su! This revelation made her feel a bit uneasy. However, with the impending arrival of a child, she had no choice but to carry on and plan to continue her pursuit of Li Su after the child was born.

More than a while later, the child was successfully born, and the child’s spiritual roots were quite promising, already reaching the third grade. After a recovery period, Li Su gave her another chance, occasionally becoming affectionate with her. The witch took advantage of these moments to continue applying her secret techniques.
