Chapter 765: 765 Double Flower Pure Lotus Body
"Do you like your family’s young lady?"
Yun Xiao’s sudden turnaround and question caused the robust man Hong Liu to blush instantly, as if he had never had such an experience and was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Alright, Hong Liu, you guys go back and continue on guard duty!"
Seeing Hong Liu’s appearance, the Hu Family’s Great Elder could hardly suppress his amusement, secretly thinking that if it were a contest of wits and eloquence, this big fellow would definitely not catch up to the young man before him; it was better not to embarrass himself here.
"Behave yourself!"
Angrily embarrassed, Hong Liu fiercely glared at Yun Xiao, threw out a harsh sentence, and then went back to his former post to perform his duties diligently.
Yun Xiao didn’t pay much attention to this; he knew that Hong Liu acted this way because he regarded him as a spy from the Yang Family, naturally showing no good expression, though his nature wasn’t bad.
"Kid, don’t think about running around. If you try any tricks, don’t blame me, Hu Yuqing, for being rude!"
It was only then that Yun Xiao learned the true name of this Hu Family Great Elder. However, he naturally wouldn’t pay much attention to a cultivator in the late stage of the Qi Seeking Realm, especially since several cultivators at the peak of the Qi Seeking Realm had already died by his hand.
At this moment, Yun Xiao walked over and sat down cross-legged next to a bonfire. A faint Meridian Qi aura slowly emanated, causing Hu Yuqing, who was not far away, to flash a hint of disdain in his eyes.
If this truly was a spy sent by the Yang Family, his power was too low. With just the early stage cultivation of the Spirit Vein Realm, what significant things could he possibly achieve?
A night quickly passed, and Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief that Xia Yong, who was at the peak of the Seeking Origin Realm, ultimately did not pursue him. But just as the eastern horizon started to brighten, a strange event occurred at this Hu Family camp.
Sizzle!
A sound similar to fabric being torn came from somewhere, causing Yun Xiao, who was meditating deeply, to immediately open his eyes. Following this, he saw a pair of slender arms stretching out from inside a tent, prompting thoughtful contemplation.
"Hu Ying’er?"
Yun Xiao stood up, staring at that tent, remembering that it seemed to be where Hu Ying’er, the young lady of the Hu Family, stayed. It appeared that those arms belonged to Hu Ying’er.
But what Yun Xiao found strange was that the arm, which looked normal the previous night, now seemed somewhat peculiar, especially the nails that seemed to have grown several inches overnight, looking rather ferocious.
"Damn, why did it act up again?"
Just as Yun Xiao was slightly puzzled, the curtain of a tent behind him was also abruptly pulled open, and a familiar figure appeared; it was Hu Yuqing, the Great Elder of the Hu Family.
Swoosh!
At this moment, the entire figure of Hu Ying’er, the young lady of the Hu Family, finally emerged from the torn curtain, leaving Yun Xiao utterly astonished.
Hu Ying’er, who was a gentle and delicate young lady the previous night, now had disheveled hair and emitted a bone-chilling coldness all over her. Especially her eyes, which were glaring with a blood-red hue, as if ready to devour someone.
At this moment, Hu Ying’er, in Yun Xiao’s eyes, looked like a heartless demon, radically different from her gentle and graceful appearance the previous night, as if she had transformed into someone else.
"Kid, keep your distance, so you don’t get hurt!"
Hu Yuqing had already taken a few steps forward, his gaze somewhat solemn as he stared at Hu Ying’er, then turned his head to speak to Yun Xiao, leaving him somewhat perplexed.
But in the next moment, Yun Xiao suddenly understood, because in that instant, he suddenly sensed that not only had Hu Ying’er’s appearance greatly changed, but her Meridian Qi Cultivation was also vastly different from what he had seen the night before.
Hu Ying’er, who was initially just a cultivator in the Meridian Rushing Realm, had now astonishingly reached the peak of the Spirit Vein Realm, and was even just a step away from entering the early stage of the Qi Seeking Realm.
"Could it be..."
Such a huge contrast sparked an unusual thought in Yun Xiao’s mind, yet he was somewhat uncertain—his luck couldn’t be this good to encounter such a special physique upon his arrival in the Tenglong Continent.
Swoosh!
However, just as thoughts were swirling in Yun Xiao’s mind, Hu Ying’er had already moved, shockingly pouncing towards them, aiming specifically at Yun Xiao, who was standing next to Hu Yuqing.
Perhaps deep in Hu Ying’er’s soul, there were still some impressions of Hu Yuqing and the other Hu Family members, but Yun Xiao, who had just arrived, was undoubtedly extremely unfamiliar to her, making him the first target of her attack.
"Didn’t I tell you to stay far away, boy? Didn’t you hear?"
Seeing this, the Hu Family Great Elder, Hu Yuqing, couldn’t help but feel annoyed, as he had previously guessed that his niece was targeting him, yet he did not expect the youth beside him to seem frozen in fright, standing still without moving.
"Great Elder, does your Miss often turn into this state?"
Just as a trace of Meridian Qi surged from the palm of Hu Yuqing, the young man beside him suddenly blurted out a question that made Hu Yuqing’s heart stir.
"How do you know? Are you not a spy sent by the Yang Family?"
At this moment, a hint of bitterness surged in Hu Yuqing’s eyes, because he knew the secret of his niece. Apart from a few members of the Hu Family from the past, probably only the core members of the Yang Family knew this.
This Miss Hu was born with an abnormal condition. As soon as she came of age, she would occasionally undergo extremely bizarre events—suddenly transforming into another person. This extremely troubled the Family Head of the Hu Family, who was none other than Hu Yuqing’s elder brother.
Normally, Hu Ying’er was an extremely gentle girl, simple-minded like a blank sheet of paper, who could not even bear to watch others slaughter chickens or ducks, and had a very timid nature.
But whenever such a change occurred, Hu Ying’er would instantly become a cold and malevolent demon. Several Hu Family guards had been injured by her, which had once drawn the serious attention of the Hu Family Head.
Despite the Hu Family Head hiring numerous Meridian Refiners of low Earth Rank and even going to great lengths to hire a Meridian Refiner of middle Earth Rank to diagnose Hu Ying’er, they could never find a clue.
Fortunately, Hu Ying’er’s condition did not last long, and the episodes were highly irregular, not necessarily happening even once a month, and seemed not to have a major impact on her body, which led the Hu Family Head to eventually let it be.
However, ever since the Hu Family encountered a great disaster, and Hu Yuqing fled with these remaining members of the Hu Family, he suddenly found that Hu Ying’er’s strange illness occurred more frequently and more irregularly.
Fortunately, the family members who had escaped together with him from the Hu Family were extremely familiar with Hu Ying’er, so no major incidents had occurred, but with Yun Xiao, a stranger here today, the situation was somewhat unclear.
Back in the great calamity of the Hu Family, due to the viciousness of the Yang Family, Hu Ying’er had once transformed into this state and even killed several guards of the Yang Family. Therefore, in Hu Yuqing’s eyes, other than the Hu Family members, only those bastards from the Yang Family knew some secrets about Hu Ying’er.
"Hey, it’s just a special constitution of the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, but you attribute it to the Yang Family, that’s thinking too much!"
Upon seeing a look of anger appearing on Hu Yuqing’s face, as he thought of eliminating Yun Xiao right there, the latter chuckled briefly and then uttered a name that left Hu Yuqing stunned on the spot.
"What did you say... Double Flower... Pure what?"
Caught up in his rage, Hu Yuqing hadn’t heard clearly, but deep inside, a gleam flickered briefly because the former Hu Family Head had once sought countless low-level and even middle-level Meridian Refining Masters to diagnose her, yet none of these practitioners could understand what illness Hu Ying’er had exactly.
But here was this plainly dressed youth who, after just a couple of glances, had mentioned a slightly awkward name—a name Hu Yuqing had never even heard of, naturally causing him alarm.
"Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, a constitution that possesses dual personalities, I suppose you’ve never heard of it!"
Yun Xiao glanced at Hu Ying’er, who was rushing towards his direction again, and finally reiterated the term once more, and this time Hu Yuqing finally heard the name "Double Flower Pure Lotus Body," yet he still looked utterly bewildered.
This name, naturally, originated from the memories of Yun Xiao’s previous life as the Long Xiao Battle God, and even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, such a so-called Double Flower Pure Lotus Body was extremely rare.
Due to Yun Xiao’s past life as a high-level Saint Rank top-tier Meridian Refining Master, several cultivators with notable backgrounds who had encountered problems would likely seek him out, so he was familiar with many bizarre ailments.
During his time on the Hidden Dragon Continent, Ling Wan’s Mixed Element One Qi Body was one such condition, and at this moment, Hu Ying’er’s sudden personality shift symptomatic of the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, was also one.
The so-called Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, as Yun Xiao had stated, is a special abnormal body with dual personalities, where one of them typically hides deep within the body and requires some stimulation or external force to manifest.
According to the research known by the Long Xiao Battle God, the formation of the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body is immensely stringent—likely due to this person having had a twin brother or sister while in the womb, and ultimately, due to some special reasons, their bodies and souls merged into one, no longer distinguishable from each other.
While their merged body shows no abnormalities, the soul ultimately belongs to two people. As time progresses, the hidden soul, not content to remain dormant, will surface under certain specific conditions.
Thus, when the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body manifests, this person might exhibit a personality vastly different from her usual demeanor or even completely opposite, such as the current Hu Ying’er.
