CBGC - ch100.2

     She holds her breath and concentrates, not daring to make the slightest movement. The Demon Venerable is still refining the black shadow, unhurriedly pouring the shadow into the long knife. Once all of it has gone inside, there’s a sudden spike of cold murderous air on the knife. Whenever the blade shifts, there is an ear-piercing howling, jolting Su Tingyun's soul. She tries her best to endure the pain. Unexpectedly however, the demon smiles and makes his way towards the stone bed.

     He sits on the bed and looks down sideways. Then the bell rings lightly, as if by accident.

     Su Tingyun suddenly feels like a hand has grabbed her.

     She is a wandering primordial spirit, capable of possessing other people's bodies. But she is not the original owner of them, so she cannot fully integrate into the bodies. Moreover, the device of the Demon Venerable is obviously very powerful, and can separate her from the body.

     "I’ve been discovered, there’s no escape!" Su Tingyun is extremely panicked, but then, she hears a snort.

     Immediately afterwards, a hand breaks through the barrier that is the stone bed, and reaches the body. Golden needles made of tree roots suddenly appear from the hand, piercing various acupuncture points on her.

     As Su Tingyun has possessed it, she can feel the pain of this body. At this moment, she feels as if the golden needles have pierced down to the bone marrow. It’s so painful that she can’t bear it, and tears gather in the edges of her eyes.

     She’s playing dead, and there’s no expression or movement on her face. But the teardrops that spill from the corners of her eyes have made all her efforts come to naught. Now, Su Tingyun realizes that she has in fact been discovered a long time ago. Even if she hides her presence here, how could she escape the search of a Tribulation Transcendent when she’s only in the Foundation Establishment stage?

     Just a moment ago, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

     Now, hope is lost and has turned into despair.

     The next moment, a hand brushes the corner of her eyes, wiping away the tears. Then it pinches her chin, "Stop pretending. Open your eyes, and let me look at you."

     Su Tingyun opens her eyes, and watches as the Demon Venerable suddenly bursts into laughter.

     He laughs wildly, but just the sound of it contains soul pressure, making Su Tingyun's primordial spirit extremely ill. But then, a faint coolness comes up from her finger, stunning her.

     The ring!

     Even though she has changed physical bodies, the jade ring has actually followed her?

     Although she doesn’t dare to glance at it, doesn’t even dare to use her divine sense to confirm it, at that moment, Su Tingyun is certain that the ring is there. She curls her fingers into fists, and looks at the man in front of her with terrified eyes. Unexpectedly he laughs even harder, more amused. In the end, he reaches out and holds Su Tingyun's chin again, "If others could see that Xi Guang could show such lovely and pitiful eyes, it would shake everyone in the world."

     Xi Guang?

     Hearing the name that came from the Demon Venerable’s mouth, Su Tingyun is startled. Her reaction is naturally caught by Demon Venerable's eyes. He only says: "What a surprise, one of the two souls I raised not only retains awareness, but also knows about Xi Guang."

     He pulls Su Tingyun up. Once she’s upright, Su Tingyun realizes that this body has been soaked in a kind of cold liquid. She just wasn't aware when she was just lying in it.

     The liquid is clear and transparent, like a water mirror.

     She sees a face in the mirror, and words are not enough to describe it. She only remembers a line from a poem—

     The beauty of rivers and mountains cannot compare to the beauty of oneself in the mirror.

     The woman in the mirror has a peerless face.

     She is Xi Guang.

     The Demon Venerable’s hand on her chin extends a finger to softly caress her lips.

     Although it is not her own body, all the sensations in this very instant reaches Su Tingyun's primordial spirit. Right now, she is Xi Guang.

     Xi Guang, Xi Guang...

     Su Tingyun suddenly comes to herself. Xi Guang has a cultivation base of Tribulation Transcendent.

     Seeing the Demon Venerable's approaching face, his lips getting closer and closer, Su Tingyun's spiritual energy courses through her, and she summons a thunderbolt!

     A golden light appears out of nowhere, then a loud bang, lightning falling straight on the Demon Venerable. A layer of black light suddenly appears on his body, it should be his self-defense barrier. The black halo slightly shakes from the lightning strike, and the Demon Venerable also takes three and a half steps back before regaining his footing.

     But he is not injured, as the Thunderbolt Art was not powerful enough to even get past his defensive barrier.

     But as soon as he straightened himself, the Demon Venerable’s brows go up, his eyes are full of brilliance, as if he’s seeing something novel. Not only is he not angry, but there’s a smile on his mouth.

     By now, Su Tingyun could finally take a good look at his face. The Demon Venerable’s features are abnormally evil, charming peach blossom eyes, but with a pair of red pupils. When they look at people, it would only make their hearts beat faster with adrenaline, no different to the feeling of a hungry wolf eyeing one’s throat.

     "Xi Guang is in the Tribulation Transcendent period. Your primordial spirit is weak, but you can actually display thirty percent of her strength." He releases his soul pressure, and walks back to the bed one step at a time. He extends a hand then presses it on top of Su Tingyun's head. His large hand keeps petting the ankle-length black hair that naturally hangs down.

     The gap between his and Su Tingyun's primordial spirits is too great, and she is completely immobilized at this time.

     She watches him leaning close to the side of her face, a finger brushing back the fine strands next to her ear. He says softly, "It's really surprising. I will teach you how to be Xi Guang in the future, and have those old Tribulation Transcendent monsters revolve you.”

     He can't wait to see those people and their expressions when Xi Guang reappears. It would be very amusing.

     After he finishes speaking, his tongue comes out and licks her earlobe lightly. Then he gently rubs the tip of his nose against her face, his voice very gentle, acting with deep affection.

     "Xi Guang, long time no see."
