Apocalypse survivor Xu Jinhuan transmigrates into the body of an unloved true heiress. Expecting a satisfying revenge story against her family, she instead finds her adoptive father has backed the ...
Physician Zhang sighed helplessly and said, "The Fifth Prince, he..."
"How is he? Physician Zhang, please don't speak so slowly!" a guard asked anxiously.
Physician Zhang shook his head and said, "The Fifth Prince was injured in the lower abdomen before. Although it seems to have healed, it still left a lingering problem. Now he has suffered such a serious injury. I'm afraid he will have difficulty having children in this life."
Upon hearing this, everyone's legs went weak. Their worst fears had come true; if the Fifth Prince woke up and found out about this, they would have no chance of survival…
"I have bandaged the Fifth Prince's wounds and now I must return to the palace to report."
After saying this, Physician Zhang slung his small medicine box over his shoulder and dashed out the door as if a dog were chasing him.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ziheng, who had been hiding all along, looked at Lei Tingjun, who had been diagnosed as a eunuch, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"It seems that's all you can do. I can wait six months."
After saying that, he instantly disappeared from the Fifth Prince's residence and appeared in the Deyilou.
"Master, you're back?" Wuyou sensed Zhou Ziheng's presence immediately and went over to him.
Seeing that Zhou Ziheng was not sunburned, he quietly put the cooling supplies he had just prepared behind him.
"Have you met Lei Tingjun?" Wuyou asked curiously.
Zhou Ziheng nodded slightly.
With a hint of interest in his eyes, Wuyou asked excitedly, "Master, is it as I said, that he's involved in all sorts of strange things? It seems like he gets all the benefits while others have to bear the bad ones."
Zhou Ziheng recalled what had just happened at the Fifth Prince's residence, and Wuyou's description of that was quite accurate.
However, starting today, these strange occurrences will likely gradually disappear from Lei Tingjun's life...
"Master, you made a move? Is Lei Tingjun dead?" Wuyou asked Zhou Ziheng repeatedly, like a curious child.
Zhou Ziheng said calmly, "He didn't die, but he became a eunuch."
Zhou Ziheng thought that, given Wuyou's personality, she would definitely grumble and complain a lot upon hearing this answer.
To everyone's surprise, Wuyou exclaimed with admiration, "It still takes the master's intervention! All of us went and didn't even get a chance to touch Lei Tingjun, but you made him a eunuch the moment you arrived!"
After saying that, Wuyou turned around happily, "Master, I'm going out for a while. I need to tell the brothers this good news."
Zhou Ziheng looked at Wuyou's retreating figure and shook his head helplessly. This guy was never steady except when he was on a mission.
Meanwhile, Xu Jinhuan also made a major breakthrough.
Long before, after the Heavenly Dao used up all the power it could use in the mortal realm to save Lei Tingjun, Xu Jinhuan felt a lightness all over her body, as if the mountain that had been pressing down on her had disappeared.
Xu Jinhuan looked at the sky with a puzzled expression, and had some guesses in her mind. She even had a pretty good idea of who would be fighting against the Heavenly Dao.
After all, besides Zhou Zhou, she really couldn't think of anyone else here who possessed such great power.
“It seems Zhou Zhou has also discovered the problem…” Xu Jinhuan said softly.
Then, she smiled slightly, "While that damn Heavenly Dao is too busy to care about me, I need to quickly merge the power."
Xu Jinhuan sat cross-legged in the resting area, closed his eyes, and began to try.
She first channeled the power of her soul into the first small statue. After feeling the familiar power of faith, she tried to separate the power of her soul again, preparing to channel it into a statue in another place.
Separating the power of the soul is no easy task, and soon fine beads of sweat appeared on Xu Jinhuan's forehead.
"Oh dear, why is Master sweating so much? Her clothes are all soaked."
Because there weren't many rooms available for temporary accommodation, and many people were sharing the same room, Xu Jinhuan's unusual behavior was quickly noticed by the observant Xia Zhiying.
"Shh, it seems like Master is breaking through. Let's not disturb her. It wouldn't be good if it affected her," Xie Guangbai said quietly, who happened to be there as well.
Xia Zhiying nodded, but there was a hint of unease on her face. "Then I'll put some ice near Master so that it won't disturb Master's cultivation and can also cool him down."
After saying that, she immediately got to work.
Xu Jinhuan, who was being watched, was still trying to separate the power of her soul, one strand, two strands...
Finally, she successfully separated another wisp of soul power and poured it into another small figure. In that instant, Xu Jinhuan was able to see the people and things in both places.
She also possesses the power of faith from two different places, and now all she has to do is try to merge these two powers of faith.
The process of fusing powers was tedious and boring. Xu Jinhuan sat there for a whole day and night, and finally, just before dawn, she completely fused the two powers together.
Now, Xu Jinhuan can reach those two places of faith in an instant whenever she wants, and she can use the power of faith in those two places from anywhere in them.
The two small avatars on the system page have also been merged into one and made larger.
"Phew, it finally worked. It seems my prediction was correct."
"Does that mean that if I spread the name of 'Joyful God of Benevolence' throughout the land of Daqian, and then merge these powers of faith, I will become the Heavenly Dao of Daqian...?"
Xu Jinhuan looked at her fair palm. It had just been storing the power of faith from two different places, but when she was no longer in the area where the statue belonged, the power of faith returned to the statue in an instant.
"It's a long and arduous journey, but it's also good news." Xu Jinhuan stretched, stood up from the ground, did some simple arm and leg exercises, and walked towards the door.
"Boss, are you done practicing? Are you hungry? I'll go prepare dinner for you right away!" Liu Dani said with a smile when she saw Xu Jinhuan.
Xu Jinhuan smiled back, "Okay, it's hot now, I'd like to eat something light, you can make some millet porridge."
Just like before, when they were nocturnal, although they could not travel, everyone maintained the same routine, sleeping during the day and being active at night.
Although it's not completely light yet, for the exiled people, it's time to prepare dinner. After all, once they finish this meal and digest the food in their stomachs, they'll go back to sleep.
"Boss, you've finally finished your cultivation!" Ma Wencai shouted loudly as soon as he saw Xu Jinhuan.
Xu Jinhuan rubbed her ears, which had been shaken by the noise, and walked over to Li Yichang and Xie Datou, asking, "How long have I been practicing?"
Xie Datou thought for a moment and said, "Boss, it's already the second day. You've been practicing since yesterday at dawn, almost a whole day and night."
Xu Jinhuan nodded; it was roughly in line with her estimate.
"Boss, you said yesterday that the high temperature would last for two more days, and now it's the second day. Shall we leave this place tomorrow?"
