Chapter 767: Seven hundred and sixty-seven books given to those destined
Boom!
However, what Hu Yuqing and those outside did not notice was that, when Yun Xiao was controlling his soul trying to use some technique, a strong soul also burst forth from the center of the forehead of the young girl in front of him, filled with an undisguised repulsion.
"Kid, I advise you not to meddle in others’ affairs!"
A thought transmitted from that soul made Yun Xiao instantly understand its meaning, and also who this powerful soul really belonged to.
"Meddling? I just want her to always stay gentle, your temperament is not very pleasant!"
A thought also transmitted from Yun Xiao’s soul; in fact, he knew this was Hu Ying’er’s alter ego, perhaps belonging to one of Hu Ying’er’s twin sisters, but as he said, he still preferred Hu Ying’er’s gentle side.
Whether it was the fierceness during the earlier outbreak of the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body or the tone of the soul’s transmission now, Yun Xiao found both displeasing. Where was the gentle and graceful girl from last night?
"We don’t need you to manage our affairs. A fragile girl can only watch her family being destroyed and can do nothing; what use is that?"
That soul’s transmission seemed to be enraged by Yun Xiao, yet his usually articulate response was somewhat unable to refute.
Everyone likes gentle and graceful women, but this is the Nine Dragons Continent, where family and sect conflicts are endless. A gentle girl, when faced with certain disasters, has no ability to protect even herself.
Although Yun Xiao did not know what had happened to Hu Family, seeing how wary this family was against so-called Yang Family, one could assume it was a major catastrophe.
On this continent, the law of the jungle prevails; as long as there’s a chance for cultivation, no one would give up easily. Even the gentle Hu Ying’er cultivated to the Meridian Rushing Realm Stage, didn’t she?
But such a character would inevitably be unable to shoulder heavy burdens in times of danger, and the most likely outcome is being killed by enemies, how could Yun Xiao not understand this, living two lifetimes?
"Alright, you make some sense!"
Unable to find words to argue, Yun Xiao could only sigh; that soul, feeling victorious, seemed somewhat triumphant.
"Since you know, then scram quickly!"
It must be said that Hu Ying’er’s other personality was truly fierce, promptly giving an eviction order, making Yun Xiao believe that if he does not take control, the future might be dominated by this ruthless personality for Hu Ying’er.
"Hey, since I’m here, there’s no need to leave so quickly!"
This time Yun Xiao chuckled lightly, and then with a thought, his soul power surged slightly, causing that other personality of Hu Ying’er to also fluctuate slightly.
"Kid, what exactly do you want to do?"
Even though Hu Ying’er’s fierce personality was furious, it knew that relying solely on its soul power, it probably was not a match for this youth, and thus shouted impatiently.
"Your temperament is too bad. I still prefer the gentle Miss Ying’er!"
A smile appeared on Yun Xiao’s face, then his soul power surged, suppressing the other soul personality of Hu Ying’er, causing a bit of panic in the latter.
"You... you want to kill me?"
Although Yun Xiao still had a smile on his face, for some reason, that soul was frightened, especially since the latter’s Spiritual Rank Advanced Peak soul was already overpowering enough to crush her.
"Kill you? You’re thinking too much!"
Hearing the scream of that soul, Yun Xiao slightly shook his head and then said, "I just want Miss Ying’er’s gentle side to take the lead. She decides when you can come out, not you!"
As Yun Xiao said, the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body is a dual personality constitution; in fact, neither side can exist without the other. Exterminating one side’s soul would likely cause severe damage to the other.
Moreover, when Hu Ying’er’s other personality erupted just now, Yun Xiao sensed clearly that it had directly reached the late stage of Spirit Vein Realm, undoubtedly the merit of the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body.
Yun Xiao believed that as Hu Ying’er’s strength increased, the power of the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body would grow stronger, but such power, if in the hands of a violent person, might bring disaster to the Mainland Cultivation World.
According to Yun Xiao’s understanding of Hu Ying’er’s original personality from last night, he knew this girl had a pure nature; even if her family was destroyed, she did not harbor a resentful or cynical attitude. Letting such a character control the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body might indeed be the right path of profound justice.
"From today onwards, you just stay quietly inside Miss Ying’er’s body, and only come out when she wants you to!"
After these thoughts passed through his mind, Yun Xiao once again emphasized, then the Power of Soul surged, instantly suppressing the second personality’s soul.
"This guy..."
Sensing that the soul only contained coercion without lethal force, the soul finally relaxed and did not say more, for at this moment, the initiative was in the hands of Yun Xiao.
Or perhaps this soul knew its own matters, as it and Hu Ying’er’s own soul complemented each other. In fact, they were inseparable, and having been accustomed to this over the years, such an outcome was not unacceptable.
"Phew..."
After suppressing the soul, Yun Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had experience with the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, he was somewhat weaker in this lifetime. Compared to his previous life’s Holy Rank Meridian Refining techniques as the Long Xiao Battle God, he still wasn’t quite sure.
Fortunately, the soul did not resist too much, allowing Yun Xiao’s suppression to proceed very smoothly. After all was done, Hu Ying’er on the bed finally made a "mmh" sound and opened her eyes.
"Where am I... Ah, Brother Xingchen, what are you doing here?"
Hu Ying’er, just awakened, was still somewhat dazed, but as soon as she saw a slightly familiar figure, her body sprung up like it was on springs and, with a flushed face, she pointed at Yun Xiao and shouted.
"Don’t you remember what just happened?"
Yun Xiao curiously asked while containing the awkwardness in his heart, honestly somewhat unclear about whether the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body retains memories during personality switches. His past experience was also not completely applicable here.
"What just happened? What happened?"
Hu Ying’er still looked confused, but then as if recalling something, her expression suddenly changed and said: "Did it act up again? Brother Xingchen, I didn’t hurt you, did I?"
The nature-restored Hu Ying’er, still that innocent and kind girl, was not worried about her own condition but instead concerned about whether Yun Xiao was injured.
"I’m not hurt, but you..."
Yun Xiao shook his head, then looking at the concerned Hu Ying’er, continued: "I have a method that can control the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body. Do you want to learn it?"
"Double Flower Pure Lotus Body?"
Suddenly hearing this unfamiliar term, confusion flashed across Hu Ying’er’s face, then she quickly realized and began nodding her head like a chick pecking at grains, her actions extremely adorable.
Although this was Hu Ying’er’s first time hearing the name Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, it didn’t stop her from understanding her own bodily condition, as such a condition had persisted for many years.
Even Earth Rank Low Level to Middle Level Meridian Masters were helpless against this illness, but this young man called Xingchen claimed he could control it, which was like an unexpected windfall and left Hu Ying’er incredibly delighted.
"Brother Xingchen, there is no benefit without cost. By teaching me such precious knowledge, my Hu Family truly has no way to repay you!"
Hu Ying’er, initially extremely excited, then appeared somewhat saddened the next moment and her words caused Yun Xiao to once again admire her kind nature and also speculate about the misfortunes of the Hu Family.
"Books are gifted to those destined, this technique is only useful for the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body, keeping it otherwise is a waste, better to put it to good use!"
To alleviate the unease in Hu Ying’er’s heart, Yun Xiao could only say this, but his remarks were not incorrect. This method was something he developed in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud for a patient who also suffered from the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body.
Indeed, it was only effective for those with the Double Flower Pure Lotus Body condition, but aside from that reason, for others to obtain this method would be as hard as reaching the heavens, truly a priceless treasure.
"Listen intently!"
After saying those words, Yun Xiao didn’t drag things out any further and with a slight movement of his lips, a secret technique was then transmitted into Hu Ying’er’s ears, causing her to immediately sit cross-legged.
"Who’s there?"
However, just as Yun Xiao watched Hu Ying’er with satisfaction, a harsh voice berated from the entrance of the tent, causing his heart to stir, secretly wondering if something unexpected had occurred?
Glancing at Hu Ying’er, Yun Xiao did not linger inside the tent. As he stepped out, he smelled a faint scent of blood. Subsequently, a figure flew from the perimeter and heavily fell to the ground.
"It’s a Hu Family guard!"
With Yun Xiao’s eyesight and memory, he immediately recognized that it was one of the Hu Family guards who had blocked him the previous night. However, this Hu Family guard had no movement after falling to the ground, and his breathing was also slowly fading, clearly dead.
The one who shouted just now was naturally the leader of the Hu Family guards, Hong Liu. He had never imagined that while he was away for just a short while, one of the Hu Family guards would meet an untimely death, fury almost overflowing from his face.
