Chapter 538: Chapter 275: The Female Tycoon’s Melee_3

Already having forcefully taken possession of the body, and now with her soul severely damaged, in the short term, it was impossible to control Ran Qingchen, she could only reside within her body to nourish and heal.

Fortunately, the Heart Demon within Ran Qingchen’s body could still be utilized by her.

Having caught her breath, the Asura Queen cursed furiously:

"That damned mother dragon is truly sick in the head, just you wait, once my soul is fully recovered, I’ll skin you alive and pull out your sinews!"

After a string of curses, feeling her remnant soul as thin as wisps of smoke that might disperse at any moment, the Asura Queen reluctantly relinquished control over the body and focused on healing.

And Ran Qingchen returned to her normal self.

Regaining consciousness, she instinctively covered her neck, looking around blankly, not knowing what had happened, only feeling an immense pain all over her body as if she had been in a fight.

It took quite a while before she gradually regained her strength.

"Lord Ran!"

"Lord Ran, where are you!"

"..."

Lu Renjia’s shouts came from a distance.

During the fight, the several powerful women had tacitly set up isolation barriers, making it difficult for ordinary people to notice.

Ran Qingchen retrieved her sword from the ruins and walked out.

In the distance, among the ruins, Lu Renjia was directing several women who had just been rescued to move stone slabs, searching for her trail.

Seeing Ran Qingchen appear, Lu Renjia’s face lit up with joy, "Lord Ran, are you alright?"

Ran Qingchen shook her head gently and said to Lu Renjia, "Lu Renjia, take them and leave this place quickly. Head to the west bank of Mingyang Lake, there will be someone to meet you there."

"What about you?"

Lu Renjia asked.

Ran Qingchen answered, "I am going to meet Jiang Mo."

Lu Renjia felt a twinge of concern and quickly asked, "Lord Ran, have you seen Jiang? How is he doing?"

"I don’t know."

Ran Qingchen looked anxiously towards the city gates, "You all need to leave quickly, more trouble will come soon. If you come across any survivors on the way, save them if you can."

"Don’t worry, Lord Ran, I, Jia, am not someone who stands by and watches others die," Lu Renjia said, thumping his chest, then he added in a quieter voice, "Lord Ran, please make sure you bring Jiang back."

Ran Qingchen managed a tired smile: "I am his wife, even if it costs me my life, I must bring him back."

With those words, she moved towards the city outskirts.

Lu Renjia muttered to himself: "Lord Ran is truly kind-hearted."

The next moment, the man’s boot-face suddenly stiffened: "Wait, what did she just say? Jiang’s wife?"

Lu Renjia blinked and looked back in the direction Ran Qingchen had left.

His wife?

Jiang’s?

Did I hear that right?

Immediately Lu Renjia shook his head vigorously, muttering to himself:

"That’s impossible, Jiang and I are both bachelors, how could Lord Ran possibly be his wife...

No, impossible, impossible.

I’m getting old, I must be having auditory hallucinations..."

——

"I say, how long do you plan to follow me!"

The Demon Venerable asked, looking back at Dugu Luoxue who had been following her all along, with an irritated tone.

"I just want to ensure, my disciple is safe," Dugu Luoxue said quietly.

The snowy feathers still fluttering in the sky made her appear even more like a celestial being.

A trace of contempt crossed the lips of the Demon Venerable:

"Your Dao Heart has clearly been damaged, nearly impossible to repair. You might as well sleep with your disciple a few more times, let him absorb the Tianyuan Pure Yin Qi from your body, and increase his cultivation faster."

Dugu Luoxue remained silent.

"Boring."

Demon Venerable curled his lips and turned to walk towards the place where he had exchanged souls with Jiang Shouzhong earlier.

Dugu Luoxue followed for a while, and after confirming that the other party would no longer wander off, he quietly left.

...

Demon Venerable returned to the Water Moon Dream Mirror and switched back with Jiang Shouzhong.

Although he was mentally prepared from the previous two encounters, the moment the pain struck, Jiang Shouzhong almost passed out from the pain.

Fortunately, there were not many fractures this time.

"Can’t you be a little gentler?"

Jiang Shouzhong complained.

The guilty Demon Venerable immediately said,

"I’ve already restrained myself quite a bit, okay? Do you think it’s easy to deal with an army?

The most infuriating part is, some bastard from the Asura Queen made trouble for me, and my soul almost got destroyed. You ungrateful kid, have some conscience, okay? Don’t ask me for help next time..."

"Asura Queen?"

Jiang Shouzhong instantly recalled the warning He Benquan had given him and asked, "You saw the Asura Queen?"

Demon Venerable nodded lightly, "I did, that old witch is in a similar situation as I am now, but if she truly manages to restore her cultivation, I may not necessarily be able to deal with her.

Back then, when that old witch was suppressed, the former dynasty expended a lot of effort, and many people died.

It’s a pity that you, kid, haven’t reached the Saintly Ascension Realm. Otherwise, I could have merged her soul. What a shame.

But why don’t you, kid, take the roundabout path? Find more women for Dual Cultivation to absorb Yin Qi, sneak into other sects to steal Yang Qi, your cultivation would have skyrocketed by now.

Let me tell you, you’d better get with your female master, that woman is absolutely nourishing, I’m not lying to you..."

As Jiang Shouzhong listened to the Demon Venerable’s endless explanations and complaints, he couldn’t be bothered to listen and asked, "How many armies are outside?"

"I saw about seven or eight thousand, and some reinforcements came later. I don’t know how many there are, but they’re probably going to enter the city soon."

Demon Venerable paused, coughed lightly, and said, "Anyway, I’ve helped as much as I could, hurry up and give me the amber beads. We agreed on a fair trade, and I’m always true to my word."

Jiang Shouzhong asked, "You didn’t go to fight the Rat Demon for it, did you?"

"Of course not, do you take me for that kind of person?"

Demon Venerable said with an air of righteousness.

Jiang Shouzhong whistled, and a little mouse crawled out from underground, making its way to the man’s side.

It then transformed into a girl dressed in white.

With her mouth open, she spat out two beads.

Seeing this scene, Demon Venerable was a bit stunned.

Jiang Shouzhong explained indifferently, "I placed four beads on it, two real ones and two fake ones. It would spit out two fake ones first, followed by the real ones later."

Demon Venerable’s face twitched uncontrollably.

Bastard!

This damn kid is truly cunning.

Jiang Shouzhong placed the two amber beads into the Water Moon Dream Mirror and said,

"Lord Demon Venerable, I know you actually look down on me, and are only cooperating with me out of compulsion. But it doesn’t matter, one day I will become strong, and I’ll have you under me."

Demon Venerable received the amber beads with delight and said with a smile,

"I don’t look down on you, in fact, I’ve always wanted to take you as my disciple.

After all, with your talent and fine foundation, I hope to pass on all that I’ve learned to you.

As soon as I am out, I will definitely send you..."

"Goodbye, Pie King."

Jiang Shouzhong, not in the mood to listen to the other party’s pie-in-the-sky promises, waved his hand to dissipate the Water Moon Dream Mirror.

Before the mirror vanished, he could still hear Demon Venerable’s shouting.

"Jiang Mo, listen to me, sleep with your master..."
