Tang Sui nodded, her mind stirring, and a deep purple light flashed from her feet.
Purple, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red.
The crimson red, even more potent than Shang Yang's demonic power barrier, cast an even more alluring glow upon this space.

Her personal status panel appeared reflected in her eyes.
Tang Sui's gaze paused upon the Spirit Master · Qing Nü Fang in her equipment slot. Her vision froze as Shang Yang's continuous nodding reached her ears. Su Dan Novel Network
"Good, good. I can feel that the level of your power has increased significantly compared to before."
He glanced at Tang Sui's still gradient-colored hair tips with some regret, "Although you haven't reached your complete form with this breakthrough, it's quite good considering your current pace."
"There are no Onmyoji in this world, but that doesn't mean your life is guaranteed. You must know that this world has powerful Human Soul Masters and formidable Soul Beasts. Remember not to become complacent with your current abilities."
"Like the incident with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, you must learn from this lesson..."
Shang Yang earnestly advised Tang Sui not to be overconfident.
Tang Sui obediently nodded "mm-hmm" on the surface, but her thoughts drifted to the system.
'What does it mean for Qing Nü Fang to be incomplete?'
She poked at the system.
'Also, I wanted to ask before. While seeing demons in the Douluo world was surprising, what's even more wondrous are the Spirit Masters appearing in this world.'
'I initially thought having one Spirit Master was a miracle and didn't dare to hope for more. But then they appeared one after another... It's as if they were hidden beforehand, waiting for me, the explorer, to unearth them according to the treasure map provided by fate. It feels like I'm being pushed forward.'
Otherwise, why would Qing Nü Fang choose to be bound to her immediately upon seeing her?
After all, she had Serpent Uncle by her side.
Even though Serpent Uncle was fire-attributed and Qing Nü Fang was objectively ice-attributed, it wasn't impossible for him to absorb it.
Demonic beasts naturally favored strength, but Qing Nü Fang, with its own consciousness, chose her over Serpent Uncle without hesitation, abandoning another optimal solution.
The extreme cold felt during the fusion of powers was merely due to the Spirit Master's inherent properties leaning towards the ice attribute. The other party showed no hostility at all, which was too strange...
Tang Sui's questions caused the system to fall into a brief silence. After a good while, its cold, emotionless mechanical voice finally sounded—
[You can consider it a butterfly effect caused by your transmigration into this world with the Men Reishi shell.]
[It's possible that the Spirit Masters in the Douluo world also appeared due to such butterfly effects.]
Tang Sui frowned, sensing that the system was hiding something from her. She pressed on: 'Then what about Qing Nü Fang? Why is it incomplete? I also didn't see any difference between the Qing Nü Fang that appeared before and the one I saw in the game.'
Qing Nü Fang, as a life-saving Spirit Master, had a two-piece set main effect of increasing her critical hit rate by 15%. The four-piece set effect was that upon taking fatal damage for the first time, all buffs and debuffs would be removed, 100% health would be restored, and she would be frozen for 1 turn. During this time, her defense would increase by 100% and she would be immune to all debuffs. If she survived the end of the freeze, her health would be restored to 100% again. This effect could only be obtained once per battle.
In other words, it was a resurrection Spirit Master!
A true second life!
But now Qing Nü Fang was incomplete, which made Tang Sui rather perplexed.
