Chapter 1019: Chapter 671: Mental Occupation

The Queen of Xuan City? Chenhai Empire... Xuan City... insect gods...

When all these clues were connected, Li Changhe finally understood the background of this world.

After the appearance of his cheap godfather, Xia Wu, on Mysterious Island, the Expeditionary Army of Great Tang suffered extremely heavy losses.

Li Changhe had once suspected that the Great Tang Expeditionary Army had confronted the insect gods.

And now it seemed that was indeed the case. An Expeditionary Army of Great Tang led by Zhang Liang and another general had followed the insect gods to this world.

For some reason, the Expeditionary Army had lost contact with Great Tang and had become what was now the Chenhai Empire.

As for the insect gods, for reasons unknown, they had either been forced to or had willingly come to this Xuan City. With the methods of the insect gods, those so-called Great Chen berserker soldiers were actually monsters of the same type as the savages on Mysterious Island. That’s why they reacted to the [Human Guardian] Protection of Li Changhe and Xiao Nan.

At least, this individual claiming to be the Queen of Xuan City was using the power of the insect gods.

She even forcibly took over her body while Chen Yu was releasing all her senses to explore the underground waterways.

This was beyond everyone’s expectations.

It also created the biggest crisis for this task.

Chen Yu, being a high-energy individual, had her mind occupied, which meant the other players were... even more in danger?

No, if she could really possess bodies at will, she should have chosen the strong girl or Qiu Wentian. There must be some kind of restriction to this ability to possess...

’Chen Yu’ then lazily and elegantly leaned against Li Changhe, her fingers gently caressing his cheek, wiping the blood from his lips as if applying a vibrant lipstick to her own. Seeing the rigid look on Li Changhe’s face, she leaned close to his ear and chuckled, "What? Hasn’t your Second Aunt ever shown you this kind of expression?"

"The pleasures between us need not be discussed by others."

Feeling the girl’s soft body touch him and her warm breath echoing in his ear, Li Changhe replied indifferently and expressionlessly.

But his heart sank. This was the kind of troublesome situation he least wanted to encounter.

If it were an enemy daring to come so close to Li Changhe, an Extraordinary Soldier.

Li Changhe could think of several ways to kill her.

But now, the biggest difficulty was not the enemy. It was how to keep Chen Yu safe from the spiritual occupation by the other party.

At this moment, the other side had essentially taken a hostage. It was too passive a position.

And the small bronze bell hanging at Li Changhe’s waist quivered slightly.

Yun Ting intended to use the Qingxuan Bell to suppress ’Chen Yu’, but after hesitating, she ultimately did not make a move.

The Qingxuan Bell could indeed suppress the other party, but even if Chen Yu was safely subdued, there was no guarantee the opponent wouldn’t destroy Chen Yu’s body in the process.

This concern was why Qiu Wentian’s arm, gripping the hilt of her sword, remained tense.

She had planned to knock out ’Chen Yu’ with her quickest attack, but she also didn’t dare gamble on whether the opponent could continue to control after Chen Yu’s body was unconscious. A rash attack could very likely backfire.

Xiao Nan’s expression, meanwhile, slowly returned to calm.

Though seeing her close friend sitting on Li Changhe’s lap, touching his cheek, made her quite uncomfortable, even a little aggrieved.

But thinking of what had happened to Chen Yu, she quickly calmed down.

She quickly considered how to control her without hurting Chen Yu.

Unfortunately, given Chen Yu’s current state, she couldn’t even reply to [Friends].

Otherwise, she could have used the Escape Coin. As long as she could return to the Real World, her safety would be guaranteed.

Quickly freeze her body? However, to freeze a layer of ice that was strong enough to restrict her without harming her would be a delicate matter. Moreover, any resistance from the other party might severely injure Chen Yu. Such measures should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Xiao Nan quickly pondered in his mind and contacted Li Changhe through [Friends], saying, "Changhe, help me hold her off, the longer the better. Also, did she just mention a second auntie?"

"Yes, this indicates that she hasn’t acquired all of Chen Yu’s information and hasn’t completely taken over. Unfortunately, I still haven’t gotten a response from Friends." Li Changhe had also noticed this.

The second auntie... was actually an excuse made up by Chen Yu to avoid Jindeng’s entanglement.

And this so-called Queen of Xuan City probably got the news from the guards of Xuan City. She didn’t have access to Chen Yu’s memories.

From this first point, one could deduce that Chen Yu’s mind was unharmed and that her control over her body was merely taken away; at least for now, her spirit had not been invaded.

Secondly, since the Queen of Xuan City couldn’t see Chen Yu’s memories, she naturally was unaware of the true identities of the players, the other three people’s abilities, and even less so about the players being able to secretly communicate through [Friends].

Although the situation was still passive, this crucial gap in information was fortunate amidst the misfortune.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Chen Yu could not reply to Li Changhe and Xiao Nan through [Friends].

Thinking this, Li Changhe slightly leaned back, dodging ’Chen Yu’’s fingers, and said with a disagreeable tone, "Queen of Xuan City, you are being too offensive. Coming here late at night and taking over the body of my second auntie, what is your intention?"

"The pot calling the kettle black. You completely omit how your second auntie used that astounding strength to pry into the secrets of Xuan City," ’Chen Yu’ snorted coldly and then looked over her body, laughing lightly, "But, it is rare to have a body that can accommodate me. I wouldn’t mind having a little fun with you using this opportunity."

Tsk, an absolute pervert.

Then, she playfully lifted Li Changhe’s chin with her finger and said, "After all, you too have gained the power of the insect god, haven’t you?"

The power of the insect god?

She must mean... the Insect God Vest!

Indeed, the Queen of Xuan City could utilize the power of the insect god, and Li Changhe’s Insect God Vest originated from the Insect God Shell. It was normal for her to have noticed it.

Li Changhe’s Insect God Vest, which used to conceal and disguise his strength, had now become the main reason the Queen of Xuan City took notice of him.

Li Changhe inwardly sighed; he had never expected to encounter an inheritor of the insect god’s power.

What to do now? Threaten her? Threaten her with the lives of Xuan City’s people to return Chen Yu’s body?

Or should he bring up the name of Chen Yu’s demigod brother to scare her off?

While Li Changhe quickly thought through his options.

’Chen Yu’ started speaking.

"I sensed you as soon as you entered the Outer City. It was truly a delightful surprise to find another carrier of the insect god’s power, besides myself. I had a feast prepared in the Inner City, waiting for you all day, yet you never came to find me," ’Chen Yu’ looked at Li Changhe with an expression of grievance, which then turned to joy, "But, just now, I unexpectedly discovered that your second auntie possesses an extraordinarily powerful spirit. The vastness of her spirit world has broadened my horizons. It can even accommodate my spiritual essence. Is this the power you gave her? Wonderful, it seems you have a high level of control over the power of the insect god."

Li Changhe and the others were stirred.

So that’s it, she had misunderstood. She mistook Chen Yu for an individual transformed by the Insect God Blood Water.

After all, without the world of the Evolution Game, even a Transcendent would struggle to find such an individual with high energy.

This might just be the key to getting rid of her...
