Chapter 2030 I’ll be taking your body!
As soon as Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword finished speaking, the atmosphere became awkward.
Song Shuhang stared at the adult Sixteen, and the adult Sixteen stared back at him.
Silence reigned supreme.
The black Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword broke the silence. “Didn’t I hit the nail on the head just now? Why are none of you talking? This is making me feel embarra.s.sed!”
But just as before, the only response that Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword received was silence.
Finally, after a while, the black-skinned Soft Feather asked, “Why can the adult Sixteen appear in Senior Song’s mind and affect his dreams?”
Song Shuhang thought for some time, and thought of a possible reason for this.
The virtuous lamia stretched out a small hand and matched his actions, tapping on her forehead as if to say, ‘I got it now!! Song Shuhang said, “Perhaps it’s because I accidentally stabbed this adult version of Sixteen with my lotus roots earlier.”
Shuhang had failed to stop the roots of the lotus projection in time, and they had drawn some energy from the adult Sixteen’s body.
Now, it seemed that that small portion of energy had affected his dreams.
Interesting
The adult Sixteen was only at the Fifth Stage Realm. In the brawl between the two groups of beast cultivators a while back, she had been punched right in the face by an enemy and had been sent slamming into Senior White’s giant flying sword, falling unconscious.
Despite her low realm, that small portion of energy that Song Shuhang had absorbed had been able to sneak past the senses of the virtuous lamia, Fairy Creation, the black-skinned Soft Feather, the black Scarlet Heaven Sword, and the Inner World and affect his dreams…
What kind of innate ability is this?
“It looks like I’ll have to inspect you.” Song Shuhang’s long hair turned into a palm, darting toward the adult Sixteen. He was going to use the secret appraisal technique to figure out her origins.
The adult Sixteen did not move. She neither resisted nor tried to dodge, simply staring at Song Shuhang in silence. Before Song Shuhang’s hair reached her, she said, “Are you going to use those tentacles on me
again?”
Song Shuhang’s hair froze.
“These are not tentacles; it’s my hair! Look at it closely, it’s a hand made out of hair. Also, what stabbed into your body previously were not tentacles. Those were the roots of my lotus projection!” Song Shuhang retorted.
“Doesn’t matter. They look like tentacles anyway.” The adult Sixteen sneered.
Song Shuhang: “…”
Sometimes, words could hurt more than a physical attack!
Even if you’re great with words, it won’t stop me from appraising you!
The hand made of hair finally landed on the adult Sixteen’s body.
However, before Song Shuhang could initiate the secret appraisal technique, the adult Sixteen began to dissipate.
Her body first a.s.sumed the shape of a dragon.
Afterward, the dragon’s flesh broke down, leaving only bones behind.
Eventually, even the bones began to break down, turning into particles of light.
The black-skinned Soft Feather asked curiously, “Senior Song, you’re so amazing! How did you do that?”
Song Shuhang’s hair-hand froze in midair. “I didn’t do anything. I think the energy I extracted from her got used up.”
After thinking for a while, Song Shuhang said, “Let’s leave this consciousness s.p.a.ce. The adult Sixteen’s body is still with Sixteen! I’ll appraise her body directly.”
Song Shuhang opened his eyes.
The sky was no longer dark; it was already the beginning of a new day.
Senior White’s voice sounded, “Good morning, Shuhang.”
Song Shuhang turned his head and saw Senior White holding a teacup, sipping tea.
“The night went by so quickly, eh?” Song Shuhang scratched his head.
After drinking that cup of tea, he had a few dreams and came in contact with the adult Sixteen in his consciousness. In the blink of an eye, it was already dawn.
Senior White smiled slightly. “This tea is pretty effective, isn’t it?”
Song Shuhang asked, “A little too effective if you ask me. By the way, what happened to the adult Sixteen?”
Sister White Dragon approached them. Her tail wrapped around Song Shuhang’s neck, and her little claws pointed toward the sky.
In the sky, there was the thunderous sound of fighting. Song Shuhang looked up and saw that Sixteen and the adult Sixteen were fighting. “We were mistaken earlier,” Sister White Dragon said solemnly. “This Sixteen is also a trial clone. It’s just that her state is very strange, completely different from the past trial clones. Moreover, the trial clones that Sixteen came into contact with previously only formed after she activated the Su Clan’s trial. However, this trial clone is different. She seems to have existed for a long time and has always been living here in the Beast Realm.”
Song Shuhang said, “Could it have something to do with me extracting her power?”
Shuhang then described what had happened in his dreams and how they had been influenced by the adult Sixteen. He also mentioned how the remnant energy of the adult Sixteen eventually turned into dragon bones before dissipating.
“Dragon bones? And she affected your dream?” Sister White Dragon mused.
Senior White put down his teacup and said, “Could she be a mirage dragon?”
The mirage dragons of the world of cultivation were different from those found in Chinese legends. They were not born from the interracial love between a snake and a pheasant but were rather a type of flood dragon.
When it came to illusions and manipulating dreams, mirage dragons were the most well-known among the dragons.
Mirage dragons had a very strange hobbythey like to be served as food and be eaten by other creatures. They generally would not die while being eaten and would parasitize the creature that ate them instead. They would then use their mirage ability to affect the host and create a mirage world where they fulfill the host’s wishes. In this state, the host would secrete a special type of energy that the mirage dragon could use for its practice.
However, if they were to encounter a big shot with a heaven-defying digestive ability, then the mirage dragon would likely die.
It was both an exciting and deadly hobby.
Mirage dragons had once appeared at Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s Immortal Feast. That was how Shuhang knew about them.
“Yeah, reminds me of my colorful waist,” Song Shuhang nodded and said-his colorful waist was related to mirage dragons.
Luckily, when his body was about to be destroyed by the Heavenly Punishment, the blood of the Scholarly Sage transferred all of the important treasures on his body to a safe place, minimizing his loss.
Sister White Dragon looked at the adult Sixteen, who was fighting Sixteen. “Maybe this trial clone used a method we don’t know about and fused with a mirage dragon, becoming whatever it is now.”
Song Shuhang said, “Then, does this mean that my lotus roots extracted the mirage dragon’s power from her body, causing her to reveal her true form?”
Song Shuhang raised his head and looked at the adult Sixteen.
This adult version of Sixteen is at the Fifth Stage Realm, can Sixteen beat her?
Song Shuhang was a little worried.
However, in Sixteen’s trial battles, no one else could intervene, and even Sister White Dragon could only watch from the sidelines.
All Song Shuhang could do was stare at the adult Sixteen, hoping to put pressure on her.
There were not many pract.i.tioners in the universe who could look Profound Sage Tyrannical Song in the eye and keep their calm.
The adult Sixteen felt extremely uncomfortable with Shuhang watching.
She then looked at Sixteen and said slowly, “One move to determine the outcome.”
“Okay.” Sixteen returned her saber to its sheathe while preparing to launch one final attack.
The adult Sixteen took a deep breath.
Then, she suddenly rushed toward Song Shuhang.
To be precise, she rushed toward Song Shuhang’s wooden body.
“Tyrannical Song.” The adult Sixteen smiled slightly. “I’ll be taking your body!”
Song Shuhang asked, “Can I defend myself?”
Fairy Creation drilled out of Song Shuhang’s back and sang, “Without experiencing pregnancy, how can a Nascent Soul come to be? Come on, join me and give birth to a Nascent Soul!”
