In this degenerate age, there are very few cultivators left. Yang Qiuyu didn't even know if she could find any other fellow cultivators besides Zhou Cong, so she was both shocked and somewhat at a loss.

She felt that Zhou Cong was wrong to possess other people's bodies, but it seemed that he couldn't survive in this world without possessing others. Moreover, if he wasn't there, where would she find like-minded people? Was she destined to walk the path of cultivation alone forever?

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered Chu Mei: and her!

But Yang Qiuyu quickly dismissed the idea: that woman was no good; she had taken all of her treasured possessions, she was incredibly greedy!

"Get out...get out..." Zhou Cong initially just stood there roaring, but then he started charging left and right, making a rumbling sound in the tomb.

He then charged at Yang Qiuyu, who quickly dodged to the side. Zhou Cong slammed his head into the crystal coffin with a loud bang, and his frantic actions finally stopped. He fell backward to the ground, unconscious.

When Zhou Cong woke up again, he found himself back in the previous tomb. Shocked, he turned around and saw Yang Qiuyu beside him. Not far away was the crystal coffin, and Zhou Yi had already returned to the coffin.

Zhou Cong sat up abruptly and asked, "How did you get out of that crystal coffin?"

Yang Qiuyu frowned and asked, "What did you say?"

Zhou Cong questioned, "I mean, how did you get out of that crystal coffin? What deal did you make with Zhou Yi?"

Yang Qiuyu was completely bewildered: "A deal? What deal? And who is Zhou Yi?"

Zhou Cong pointed with his chin at the crystal coffin: "That's the one lying in the coffin right now."

Yang Qiuyu was quite shocked. She turned to look at the boy in the coffin and asked, "How do you know his name is Zhou Yi?"

Zhou Cong: "Of course I know. He's Zhou Cong's older brother, and I have Zhou Cong's memories..." He suddenly paused here. He remembered that he met Yang Qiuyu after possessing Zhou Cong's body, so Yang Qiuyu had no idea that he had possessed her.

Yang Qiuyu's lips twitched, then she smiled wryly and said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand at all. Aren't you Zhou Cong?"

She decided to pretend she didn't know about Zhou Cong's possession, since Zhou Cong hadn't been thinking straight earlier anyway.

Zhou Cong noticed a flicker of evasion in her eyes and instinctively knew she was lying. He was convinced that this woman must have made some kind of deal with Zhou Yi while he was unconscious; otherwise, why would she have been lying in the crystal coffin earlier and now Zhou Yi was lying inside again?

After thinking about it, he still wanted to try to get some information out of Yang Qiuyu, just in case he could uncover their conspiracy.

So Zhou Cong softened his expression and asked, "Qiuyu, what exactly happened just now? Didn't you wish to lie in that crystal coffin in Zhou Yi's place?"

Yang Qiuyu was shocked: she had indeed had such absurd thoughts before, but how did Zhou Cong know? Did he have mind-reading abilities?

Although she didn't say anything, Yang Qiuyu's expression spoke volumes. Zhou Cong understood: he could tell that this woman had indeed made such a wish before.

He was extremely disappointed in Yang Qiuyu. Just because Zhou Yi was handsome, Yang Qiuyu was willing to lie in the coffin in his place. Now Zhou Yi has gone back into the coffin in her place. He guesses she would do anything for Zhou Yi now. Ha!

Seeing Zhou Cong staring at her with an uncertain look in his eyes, and remaining silent for a long time, Yang Qiuyu had no choice but to speak first, forcing a smile as she said, "Zhou Cong, I have no idea what you're talking about?"

Seeing that she had no intention of admitting it, Zhou Cong decided not to discuss the matter any further.

Zhou Cong stood up and said, "This tomb is very eerie; let's leave as soon as possible!"

"Okay." Yang Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was no longer asking about her wish, and nodded in agreement. However, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the boy in the coffin again: the boy was just too handsome. She had seen many handsome men in her many years of cultivation, but none of them could compare to this boy.

But her glance was simply an appreciation of beauty, which Zhou Cong interpreted completely differently: Ha, still so reluctant to leave!

Yang Qiuyu intended to help Zhou Cong, but Zhou Cong seemingly unintentionally took a step to the side, avoiding her.

Surprised, she scrutinized Zhou Cong's expression but couldn't detect anything amiss. She put the matter aside and followed Zhou Cong toward the door, but couldn't help turning back to glance at the boy in the crystal coffin once more.

Zhou Cong was already burning with rage, and seeing her like this only fueled his fury. After leaving the tomb, he suddenly struck Yang Qiuyu in the chest with a backhand.

Caught off guard, Yang Qiuyu was struck squarely and thrown backward, landing right on the crystal coffin.

Zhou Cong roared, "You little bitch, since you're so reluctant to part with Zhou Yi, then stay in this tomb with him forever!" As he roared, he cast a powerful spell, sealing the entire tomb.

Yang Qiuyu's cultivation was far inferior to his. She was struck by his palm and was already seriously injured. She lay on the crystal coffin, staring at him in shock and anger as he sealed the tomb. Although she was furious, she was helpless—she was seriously injured and could not move at all.

She just couldn't understand it. Even if she thought the young man was handsome and glanced at him a few more times, did Zhou Cong have to act like this?

After much thought, she felt that the only plausible explanation was that Zhou Cong already knew she knew he was a possessed body and not the real Zhou Cong at all, so the real reason he did this was to kill her to silence her.

Yang Qiuyu felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about this.

She and Zhou Cong have known each other for almost a year. She thought they were soulmates and had been in love for more than half a year. Why did Zhou Cong assume that once she found out he was a possessed person, she would stand against him or tell others about it?

You see, she didn't even know Zhou Cong. How could she possibly hurt her lover for a complete stranger?

She really couldn't understand Zhou Cong's thinking.

Furthermore, even if everyone knows that Zhou Cong is a possessed person, who can do anything about him? In this degenerate age, how many people can he be wary of?

I reckon it's only Chu Mei!

However, Chu Mei is now their enemy.

Thinking of Chu Mei, Yang Qiuyu suddenly felt a surge of hope for revenge. As long as she could get out, she should still have a chance to avenge herself.

But how can she get out? She is seriously injured and has been sealed in this tomb by Zhou Cong.
