Chapter 73: Let’s Torment Tianyouzi a Little More

That mysterious whisper chain, Ning Xuan had also connected to it.

As for the essence of the “whisper chain,” after he had fused with Tianyouzi, he also understood it.

What a load of bullshit “whisper chain”!

What a load of bullshit “once-in-a-lifetime whisper chain”!

This was simply a “soul-chasing” method unique to “Taiyin ghosts,” similar to the lowest level of curse.

This was like some of the ghost movies Ning Xuan had seen in his previous life. No matter where you were, you would hear the terrifying whispers of evil ghosts in your ears; or you would be lying in bed and suddenly hear something whispering. You would run out of bed and search the room carefully, even under the bed, in the closet, and behind the curtains, but you would still find nothing. However, in the middle of the night, you would hear that creepy voice in your ears again… This was being “targeted.”

To be targeted was to be cursed.

To be able to transmit sound over thousands of li, this was the truth of “whispering.”

As for Immortal Aunt Yaozhen’s background, even Tianyouzi did not know.

But in Tianyouzi’s memory, Immortal Aunt Yaozhen was special.

So special that this girl was the only living person in the Zixia Sacred Sect’s whisper chain.

This girl was brought back by the Zixia Temple’s master himself. Then the master lied to her, saying that everyone in this temple had a feud with the demons, and then they were selected by the Son of Heaven to be trained.

This girl believed it, she actually believed it.

Not only did she believe it, she also made up a lot of content in her mind to perfect the logical loopholes in the master’s lies.

Later, Tianyouzi also found that this girl could actually use the “evil ghost curse,” and could also connect to the “curse chain constructed by the Zixia Sacred Sect with this lowest level of curse.”

However, this girl’s curse power did not seem to be that strong, and she could only use it once.

So the master said again, this was called “whispering,” and it could only be bound to one person in a lifetime, and could only be used once.

This girl believed it again.

Tianyouzi had also secretly inquired about Immortal Aunt Yaozhen’s background, but his status was not enough, and he was not qualified to know.

However, all the ghosts could see that Immortal Aunt Yaozhen was special, so the Taiyin Ghost Cultivators were very polite to her. Before, Tianyouzi had taken the initiative to take on the task of Shanyang Prefecture, which was also to form a good relationship with Immortal Aunt Yaozhen.

At this time…

In the whisper chain, or the curse chain…

Ning Xuan quickly found that “Master.”

The master was an elder of the Zixia Temple.

The upper-level ghosts would keep secrets from the lower-level ghosts. After all, their ghost seals each had their own characteristics. If they knew in advance, they would be restrained.

Turning the virtual into the real was the most important characteristic of the ghost seal.

That is, when a certain condition was met, the spiritual power would briefly turn into material power.

For example, a confined ghost, you could not fight it in a confined space. If you were locked up, you could not force your way out, otherwise you would suffer a strong backlash;

For example, a drowned ghost, you could not fight her in the water. Even if you fought in the water, you had to be careful not to be entangled by her water ghosts, otherwise your constitution would be rapidly weakened.

These two kinds of ghosts were actually simple…

But no matter how complicated the ghost seal was, once it was broken, it would make people be prepared in advance and gain the upper hand.

Therefore, it was normal for ghost cultivators to hide from each other.

Because of this, Ning Xuan, through Tianyouzi’s memory, only knew that this master’s title was “Flying Heavenly Man.”

He “connected” to the Flying Heavenly Man.

“Disciple has succeeded.”

“Then have you produced an unprecedented change?” The Flying Heavenly Man on the other end was obviously very interested in this.

“Yes, but not much. Disciple feels that the ghost qi has improved, and disciple should be able to continue to cultivate this garment.”

“Oh? You mean you can still cultivate martial arts and get another promotion?”

“I should be able to.”

“Then you go and try. That Ning Xuan is special. If you can wear his clothes and cultivate again, then you will be a leader among the younger generation of disciples of my Zixia Sacred Sect.”

“Yes!”

“Thank you for your hard work.” The Flying Heavenly Man suddenly sighed faintly, and then said, “But your efforts will be rewarded. If you can also raise your martial arts to the third grade, then you will definitely get a position of high merit.”

Ning Xuan was stunned for a moment.

He had originally hoped to use his “specialty” to get a little more welfare, just like the “young general who was a dual cultivator of life and nature” could get the Son of Heaven’s attention, and could get a powerful partner like Lu Xuezhi. These were all hidden welfare. If he was just an ordinary general, then he would definitely not have them, and he would definitely not have a partner to cultivate the Hehuan Sect’s cultivation method.

At the same time, he had obtained a piece of information in Tianyouzi’s memory, that is: Taiyin Ghost Cultivators, because of the uniqueness of their respective ghost seals, were not compatible with each other. The upper-level ghosts could not swallow the lower-level ghosts. That would not lead to their own improvement, but would weaken them.

The above two points made him decide to add an extra “can still cultivate” in addition to “ghost qi improvement.” This was also to facilitate his future actions without being suspected.

But at this moment, when the Flying Heavenly Man said “your efforts will be rewarded,” he suddenly and keenly felt that something was wrong.

There was no reason.

In the nightmare, the sharpness honed between life and death.

“Thank you, Master.” His tone was even filled with enthusiasm, showing an attitude that was completely opposite to what he was thinking.

He exited the curse chain.

Chaoyinzi was looking at him with a sympathetic expression.

Then this drowned ghost wrapped in the clothes of a middle-aged female Heavenly Master also said faintly, “Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother. Senior Brother, you must not show any flaws. This is what you chose.”

The Flying Heavenly Man said “thank you for your hard work,” and Chaoyinzi now also said “thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother.” Ning Xuan searched Tianyouzi’s memory again, and suddenly understood.

A ghost, even if it put on human clothes and could do everything a human could do, it did not mean that it liked to do everything.

Among them, the most painful thing for a ghost was the “yin and yang union of human men and women.”

A ghost itself was pure yin. Where did it need the fusion of yin and yang?

To be so intimate with a living person, to have sex, was a torment for a ghost.

Ning Xuan suddenly smiled bitterly and asked, “Junior Sister, is it possible…”

Chaoyinzi interrupted, “No.

The Divine General Plan is very important, you are not unaware.

And Ning Xuan and Lu Xuezhi have now become a landmark in this plan. Their combination, the success of the Hehuan Dao, may also promote the improvement of the generals. Since you have put on Ning Xuan’s clothes, then you are Ning Xuan from now on.”

Ning Xuan roared in a low voice, “But I’m not. I don’t like to do that kind of thing with human women.”

Chaoyinzi said happily, “Senior Brother chose it.

Oh, and those generals’ perceptions are very keen. In the general’s residence, I can’t appear often.

Senior Brother, thank you for giving up your position. You have made so many contributions, and now the ranking is mine.

If there is nothing else, I will go first.

As for the identity of Tianyouzi, it’s the same old way. The temple will say that he is on a mission, in seclusion, and let him disappear quietly. Or wait for a big demon and say that he died in battle.”

After speaking, a golden light surged from her, and she disappeared on the spot.

That night…

Ning Xuan normally pursued the Hehuan Dao with Lu Xuezhi, and everything was as usual…

For three consecutive days…

His constitution had changed from “11” to “11.1.”

On the morning of the fourth day, he once again boarded a fishing boat alone. But this time, he did not walk on the bow of the fishing boat, but sat in the cabin, and dropped the fishing rod through the window.

A golden light surged, and Chaoyinzi appeared by his side. Looking at Ning Xuan’s gloomy face, she teased, “How does General Lu taste?”

Ning Xuan’s face was ashen, and he did not speak.

Chaoyinzi said again, “Are General Lu’s long legs strong?”

A look of hidden pain appeared on Ning Xuan’s face, and then his face became even more ashen.

Chaoyinzi let out a “jie jie jie” laugh.

After laughing, she said again, “Senior Brother, seriously, have you felt the flow of qi and blood in these few days of dual cultivation?”

Generally speaking, a garment was a garment. No matter how you cultivated, you would only strengthen the main body, and would never strengthen the garment.

Ning Xuan said coldly, “Not yet, but I’m sure I can.”

Chaoyinzi said, “Then when Senior Brother becomes a high-ranking official in the future, don’t forget me.”

Ning Xuan no longer spoke, and continued to fish.

In the confined cabin, he only felt refreshed. In addition, there was a feeling of slow growth in his spirit.

The days returned to normal again.

Except for the extra identity of “a formal disciple of the Zixia Sacred Sect,” there was not much change.

On this day, a carriage rumbled outside the mansion gate, crushing the frozen earth that had been born from the melting snow a few days ago.

Several ox carts entered from the outside, bringing many specialties from Star River County and Wangyue Prefecture, as well as a family letter.

The family letter was secondary. The one who took the family letter was a petite and exquisite girl in a white jacket.

The girl was naturally Xiao Jie.

She had already digested the “Xuan Yin Fox” demon blood that had lowered its strength because of gathering dragon qi, and thus became a demonic plague martial artist.

As soon as she digested it, she couldn’t wait to find Ning Xuan.

Perhaps it was the fox blood’s charm. At this time… in addition to that trace of pure and flawless, Xiao Jie’s body also had a bit of the foxy smell of a vixen.

When Xiao Jie saw Ning Xuan, a look of excitement flashed in her eyes. A kind of “swallow returning to the forest” impatience brought the spirit of her whole body, and woven a feeling of “although the world is bustling, my eyes are only on you.”

Any man who saw this kind of gaze, and saw that the owner of this gaze was so petite and charming, would have a thought of “what a good little lady, I must use all my life’s strength to protect her, cherish her, hold an umbrella for her, and shelter her from the wind and rain.”

“Xiang…”

Xiao Jie’s eyes were almost dripping with water, and her body and soul were burning.

But she had only enthusiastically shouted the word “xiang,” and then it stopped abruptly, because she saw the red-clothed and white-shoed, and graceful woman beside Ning Xuan.

She turned and walked towards the woman, and bowed gracefully, “Sister.”

Then she praised, “Sister is so beautiful. So beautiful, and so heroic.”

Ning Xuan had a momentary illusion.

It was as if the two women beside him had turned into a crane and a fox.

The crane was proud, and its eyes were unruly;

The fox was cunning, and had many little schemes.

Ning Xuan was very clear in his heart…

The fox had no good intentions. This was to wrong herself in exchange for his bias. If Lu Xuezhi cursed her a few more times as a vixen, then his heart would be more biased and more pained.

Even if his level was not high, he would rush out and confront Lu Xuezhi a few times, and say a few words: “She came from thousands of li away just to see me. Why do you have to curse her and bully her as soon as you see her? You are the main wife. Can’t you even tolerate such a helpless little lady?”

Lu Xuezhi naturally did not curse.

She was in a scarlet cloak, and her frosty face quietly looked at Ning Xuan’s concubine, and then she said lightly, “Yes.”

Xiao Jie lowered her head, a little at a loss, and then she seemed to want to walk towards Ning Xuan’s direction, but her small foot had only moved half a step, and then she retracted it like lightning, and then she walked to the other side away from Ning Xuan in a dejected manner.

Lu Xuezhi looked at the ox cart in front of her indifferently, and suddenly said, “General Ning, I’m tired.”

She had said that she could tolerate Xiao Jie.

But that was when she had not seen Xiao Jie.

Now that she had seen her, the only thing that came to her heart was dislike.

She turned and left.

Xiao Jie lowered her head aggrievedly, and from time to time, she glanced at Ning Xuan, but she did not dare to look him in the eye.

Until Ning Xuan beckoned, she walked over, bit her lip, and asked in a low voice, “Husband, did I do something wrong?”

Ning Xuan said in a low voice, “Your method is wrong.”

Xiao Jie’s delicate body trembled, her eyes were moist, and the tears in her eyes quickly accumulated, and she was on the verge of falling. Her whole person exuded a pitiful and weak feeling that needed protection.

Ning Xuan said, “Miss Lu is straightforward. She said before that she could tolerate you. You know what to do, right?”

Xiao Jie nodded, then wiped her eyes, wiped away the tears, and replied, “Yes.”

Xiao Jie was capable.

On the first day, Lu Xuezhi was still unwilling to see her.

On the third day, after Ning Xuan and Lu Xuezhi had completed the Nine Heavens Cloud, digested their qi and blood, and completed the husband and wife business, the two of them shared the winter quilt.

Lu Xuezhi suddenly said, “You should go and find Miss Jie tomorrow.”

Ning Xuan said, “At night?”

Lu Xuezhi said, “We have to cultivate at night. You have to come back to my bed.

You can go during the day. You can take her with you wherever you go during the day.”

Ning Xuan said, “Don’t you dislike her?”

Lu Xuezhi said, “I have practiced her family’s “Lingyan Small Group Art,” so I can dual cultivate and improve. I shouldn’t be bad to her.

What bad thoughts can such a weak girl have?

It’s just a fight for favor in the harem. You don’t need to dote on me, and I don’t need you to dote on me. You should be better to her.”

So…

Ning Xuan, during the day and at night, embraced two women. In addition, he had to deal with miscellaneous matters, and his life was filled to the brim, and he was quite happy.

A few days later.

Ning Xuan’s constitution had changed from “11.1” to “11.5.”

Xiao Jie also began to expand her “force.”

Before, when she was still a concubine, no one paid attention to her.

But now, she had become a well-known “little greedy woman.”

So… the Fugui Merchant Guild from before directly followed, hoping to rely on their previous relationship with Ning Xuan, and also to give the little greedy woman some gold and silver in exchange for some “business discounts and policy inclination.”

In addition to the Fugui Merchant Guild, many other merchant guilds and forces also began to come, and were eager to move.

The little greedy woman took money to do things, and did not cheat the old or the young. She was really a first-class protective umbrella.

Everyone liked her.

As for Ning Xuan, he went back to fishing on the lake.

Fishing boat, lonely boat…

Cold lake…

In the cabin, the young general sat quietly, holding a fishing rod.

The characteristic of the Confined Ghost made him not feel bored at all in this confined environment.

A golden light surged, and Chaoyinzi appeared.

After she appeared, she stood by Ning Xuan’s side and watched him fish.

The characteristic of the drowned ghost made Chaoyinzi not feel bored in the water area.

In this environment, both of them liked it very much.

Chaoyinzi asked in a voice that was holding back her happiness, “Senior Brother, is Miss Jie moist?”

Ning Xuan did not answer.

Chaoyinzi was really happy.

Just one Lu Xuezhi was enough of a torment. With another Xiao Jie, it was simply a hell for evil ghosts. To be so intimate with a living person every day, to have their skin touch, she really couldn’t imagine how much pain Senior Brother had to endure every day?

But there was no way, this was what Senior Brother had asked for.

Ning Xuan said coldly, “What’s the matter, just say it.”

Chaoyinzi thought that Ning Xuan was living in pain every day, and she didn’t care about his cold tone. She just said, “Have you felt the garment become stronger in these few days of dual cultivation?”

Ning Xuan was silent for a moment, and then said, “I should have… it’s just a little slow.”

Chaoyinzi said, “Senior Brother, the temple has a mission for you.”

Ning Xuan frowned and said, “Why didn’t Master tell me directly?”

Chaoyinzi smiled and said, “Isn’t it because Senior Brother’s possession this time was very strange and abrupt? For this body, he was willing to give up so many merits, and now he can still cultivate martial arts. Someone in the temple said that they don’t know if it was Senior Brother who fused with Ning Xuan, or Ning Xuan who fused with Senior Brother?”

Ning Xuan let out a cold “heh,” and then said, “Junior Sister, you were there that day.

Ning Xuan, a mere commoner, even if he cultivated his nature, he was only a first-grade. Otherwise, how could he be suppressed by you?

Do you think he can possess me?”

Chaoyinzi said, “The sect has always been cautious. Senior Brother, just treat it as another trial and prove your identity.”

Ning Xuan said, “Then give me a confined place and let me cultivate for three to five years, and my identity will be clear.

Heh, for the sake of the overall situation, I endure the torment of those two human women day and night. You guys are really something!”

Chaoyinzi smiled and said, “Senior Brother, don’t be angry.”

“Humph!”

Ning Xuan no longer paid attention to her. He threw down the fishing rod and left in anger.

However, not long after he left, the voice of the Flying Heavenly Man came from the curse chain.

“Tianyouzi, it’s just that someone heard that your garment can continue to become stronger, so they are jealous of you. But no one really doubts you. You don’t have to be angry.”

“Master, who is jealous of me?”

“Old Man Yushan, your old rival.”

Ning Xuan searched his memory.

This ghost was indeed at odds with Tianyouzi.

Logically speaking, it was unlikely for ghosts to have a feud with each other, but Tianyouzi and Old Man Yushan could be said to be natural enemies.

Tianyouzi’s ghost seal was “blocking the door,” and Old Man Yushan’s ghost seal was “opening the door”…

The two ghosts had cooperated once, and that experience was extremely unpleasant, and the mission had failed.

After that, the two ghosts became enemies, and they didn’t like each other. Over the years, it became a feud.

Ning Xuan replied, “Oh, it’s him. Then it’s not strange.”

The Flying Heavenly Man asked again, “Tianyouzi, tell me the truth, can your garment really cultivate martial arts?”

Ning Xuan hesitated and said, “Master, it should be able to… but it’s very slow.”

As he spoke, he sighed again, “Actually, I’m already a little regretful now.”

The Flying Heavenly Man said, “Hold on.”

Then, he said again, “This time, there is indeed a mission, and only you can complete this mission. After you complete it, you will be credited with a thousand Dao merit points.”

Dao merit points were jointly designed by the imperial family and the Zixia Temple, and could be exchanged for many things.

But in fact… Taiyin Ghost Cultivators could also use Dao merit points to exchange for some hidden items from the Zixia Sacred Sect, including ghost cultivation methods.

A thousand was already a lot.

Ning Xuan said, “Please give me your instructions, Master.”

The Flying Heavenly Man said, “The remnants of the sect have been hiding in the Western Regions. Although we have been raising them, we don’t know what the situation is there. It just so happens that Lu Xuezhi wants to go to the Western Regions to investigate the Shanmo Sect. You can go with her and take a look.

As for Yaozhen and Chaoyinzi, they won’t go with you, so as not to be killed by those brutes.”
