As if his scheme had succeeded, Ye Chen reached out and tried to snatch the Soul-Slaying Sword from my hand.
Just then, I heard Wen Heng curse, "Idiot!" In a flash, he snatched the hilt of the sword from my hand, and in the blink of an eye, the longsword was once again at Ye Chen's neck.
Undeterred by his failed attempt, Ye Chen offered a wicked smile and explained, "Look at our Aunt Wen, she's still as stingy as ever. I was just joking with my Ah Hua."
"Who is your Ah Hua!" When I realized that I had been tricked by Ye Chen, I kicked him in the back of the knee while he was talking, and Ye Chen was forced to kneel down on one knee.
Now, when I see his smiling face, I get goosebumps all over. I always feel that he has ill intentions. Every time I meet him, nothing good happens. I should have killed him seven hundred years ago, then none of this would have happened.
"Wen Heng, show no mercy, just slit his throat!" I said angrily.
Wen Heng seemed to agree with my idea. Just as he raised his hand to execute Ye Chen on the spot, Ye Chen quickly smiled at us and said, "No, don't! If you kill me, your deal with the Dream Demon God will be void, but you'll never be able to return to your immortal bodies in the mortal realm!"
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Wen Heng sheathed the Soul-Slaying Sword, but he only sheathed the sword. Immediately afterward, his gaze suddenly flashed with a murderous aura, and he condensed a ball of spiritual power in one hand, slashing towards Ye Chen's neck.
But Ye Chen was quick to dodge, and the two began exchanging blows, fighting fiercely and fiercely.
Just as I was about to step in to help Wen Heng, he warned me in advance: "This is none of your business, don't interfere!"
Ye Chen also grinned at me shamelessly and echoed, "Ah Hua, don't worry about me. I just want to see if Aunt Wen, whom I haven't seen for hundreds of years, has improved her kung fu. I want to have a spar with an old friend!"
Whoever is worried about him is just being presumptuous. I picked my ear and didn't bother to listen to him. I was just waiting for Wen Heng to beat him until he was begging for mercy.
Surprisingly, Ye Chen's spiritual power seemed to have increased significantly this time, making him almost equal to Wen Heng. Their battle was so fierce that it was impossible to determine the winner.
They fought from the cave entrance to the outside, from daytime to nightfall, until their figures disappeared from my sight, and I never saw them return.
Only then did I become somewhat worried and afraid that Ye Chen was plotting to harm Wen Heng out of my sight. Thinking of this, I immediately got up to find them.
Meanwhile, the endless lava outside the cave, bubbling with flames, had been replaced by an endless expanse of glaciers. Under the bright moon high in the sky, silver light poured down for thousands of miles. The desolate landscape felt even more desolate and chilly.
As I called Wen Heng's name, I walked on the creaking, seemingly cracking glacier, looking around in hopes of spotting them.
However, after walking only a few hundred meters, his body was bound by a powerful force, unable to move forward. Every step he took felt like his body was being torn apart, causing unbearable pain.
Helpless, I could only retreat back to the small cave. I sat in front of the campfire at the cave entrance, gazing at the bright moon in the sky and the boundless glacier. For some reason, my head started to ache again.
I held my forehead, enduring the pain, thinking that the recent strangeness in my body was probably related to my devouring of Ye Ling'er's consciousness.
He felt uneasy about agreeing to the unknown request from the Dream Demon God.
The more I thought about it, the more uncontrollable my anxiety, irritability, and restlessness became. I had a headache, and my muscles ached so much that they felt tense.
Fine beads of cold sweat had already begun to soak through my clothes.
Just as my body was starting to give way and I was about to fall to the ground, a pair of strong hands grabbed my arms tightly, and I managed to keep my balance and avoid falling.
Although my mind began to wander, looking up into those clear, bright, and intensely passionate eyes brought me a sense of peace.
I forced a smile and couldn't help but pinch his cheek: "My Zhou Lang is so handsome."
At this moment, Wen Heng's face instantly turned red, but he didn't say anything. He just silently straightened my body and then glanced sideways at the person next to him: "Aren't you going to come and help?"
In a daze, I heard Ye Chen's voice, and he sat down on the ground behind me and whispered, "Ah Hua, you have Ye Ling'er's powerful magical consciousness within you. It requires my magical power and the immortal power of the Great God Wen to separate you from Ye Ling'er. It will be painful, so please bear with it..."
I couldn't hear what he said after that.
I slowly raised my eyes and looked at Wen Heng, who was sitting on the ground in front of me. Seeing his firm gaze, my heart calmed down a lot, so I cooperated and let them transfer immortal power and magic power to me.
As expected, after the two forces entered my body, I felt as if I was being torn in two, and I fainted in excruciating pain.
I don't know how much time passed, but I felt a refreshing and comfortable spiritual energy spreading throughout my body. It felt as if I was wrapped in a soft, fragrant cotton quilt, which was extremely comfortable.
I smelled the clear fragrance of the flowers and slowly opened my eyes with curiosity. Sure enough, I was lying in the center of the stamen of a super huge flower.
However, this flower looked familiar. In order to see the flower's true form, I flew high into the air and looked closely before I realized that it was the original form of my single-rooted flower.
What's even stranger is that next to this flower, there is another single flower that exudes black demonic energy.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, a woman in black suddenly flew out of the demonic flower. Before I could even see her face clearly, she was filled with murderous intent and attacked me directly.
What kind of person is this? She attacks people without even knowing what happened. How can I tolerate this?
In an instant, I calmly dodged the woman's attack, but she persisted and attacked me again.
I sparred with her several times, and I believed that good would prevail over evil. Sure enough, with my righteous spirit, I managed to restrain her neck and immobilize her within ten moves.
Only then did I realize that the woman in black who attacked me had the exact same face as me.
I squinted at her and asked, "Who are you?"
The woman in front of me tried to shake off the hand restraining her neck, but I held her firmly and she couldn't move. She then smiled wickedly with a contemptuous and arrogant expression: "What, after sharing a body with you for so long, you still don't recognize me?"
"Ye Ling'er?" I was somewhat shocked.
Seeing my shocked expression, Ye Ling'er suddenly slipped out of my grasp, and I was instead restrained by her neck.
She tilted her head strangely and looked me up and down: "The Dream Demon God kept his word and finally made me a real woman. Although you have the same face as me, you are just a substitute and a fake."
I couldn't help but twitch my lips and sneered, taking advantage of her unpreparedness to kick Ye Ling'er in the stomach, sending her flying.
Just as I was about to throw her to the ground from the sky, Wen Heng suddenly appeared! Wen Heng was still dressed in white, with a gentle breeze blowing his white hair. He leaped behind Ye Ling'er, picked her up around the waist, and then took flight again, sending her back to the giant flower that was emitting black demonic energy.
Seeing Wen Heng like this, I was very jealous and angry. I rushed in front of them and pushed them apart. I said to Wen Heng in a fit of rage, "Wen Heng, I am Ahua."
To my surprise, Wen Heng seemed not to have heard me. He nervously steadied Ye Ling'er and asked her gently with a worried expression, "Are you hurt?"
Ye Ling'er, looking smug, leaned into Wen Heng's arms and said coquettishly, "I'm a little dizzy!"
I was both confused and unwilling to give up, so I pulled the two of them apart again: "Wen Heng, didn't you hear what I said? Look closely, I'm Ahua!"
