Chapter 38 Connection If she focused her attention, she could even...
After Yun Xiangwan left, Zhao Chaoan flew around the puppet a few more times, looking very satisfied with it. "Wow, this puppet is really well made. I originally expected it to be able to carry 50% of my strength, but I didn't expect it to be able to carry 70% or 80%."
Ying Bu Ran also went forward and touched it. The feel was completely different from the wood he had expected. It felt like a human body, but a little harder than a human, more like it was covered with something similar to human skin?
"It does feel very unusual... Do you know how to control it?" Ying Bu Ran asked.
Zhao Chaoan nodded. "I see. This is also a kind of, uh, instinct of the ghost clan? For us, finding a body to possess is like drinking water. We know how to do it without any instruction."
Taking over the bodies of incomplete souls and devouring weaker souls are all instincts of the ghost clan. It's only within the realm of the underworld, where ghosts suppress these instincts and constrain those who enter, that the ghost world is prevented from falling into complete chaos.
When she brought Ying Bu Ran to the ghost world, if she hadn't brought him and covered him with the aura of the Ghost King, Ying Bu Ran's soul would probably have been torn to pieces before it even reached the underworld.
This was also the reason why she insisted that Ying Bu Ran wear her amulet later. Fortunately, he had passed through the gate of life and death. Although he was not completely successful, at least his soul was intact.
Ying Bu Ran nodded as if suddenly understanding something: "I see."
Although it sounds a bit scary, it is much more convenient nowadays.
"Oh, I forgot to mention this before," Yun Xiangwan's voice came from an invisible place. "Xiao Ran, you can drip some blood on it to make the puppet recognize you as your master. That way, no one else can use the puppet without your permission. I wonder if His Excellency the Ghost King would mind?"
Of course she didn't care. She was still very relieved to leave it to Ying Bu Ran. Besides, she couldn't produce a drop of blood. "Of course I don't care. It's safer this way. It's good."
Seeing that Zhao Chaoan had no objection, Ying Bu Ran did not hesitate any longer and directly cut his fingertip and dripped blood on it: "Then let's do it."
The blood disappeared the moment it touched the puppet's body. At the same time, the puppet's body seemed to emit a faint glow, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it was an illusion.
"It seems that I do feel some connection." Ying Bu Ran took two steps back and found that she could unconsciously sense the position of the puppet's body.
If she concentrated, she could even move one of her arms slightly.
Zhao Chaoan exclaimed in admiration upon seeing this: "It's truly not an ordinary item. They've put a lot of thought into it this time."
"Now that everything is ready, I'm going in."
Just as Zhao Chaoan was about to gather his strength and dive in, Ying Bu Ran reached out and called out, "Wait a minute!"
"Huh?" Zhao Chaoan stopped suddenly and turned to look at Ying Bu Ran in confusion.
Ying Bu Ran left first. Tong Yun Xiang Wan said something to her. After a while, she came back with clothes and held them up to show Zhao Chao An. She found them based on Zhao Chao An's dressing habits in the ghost world. "Let's put some clothes on her first, just in case."
Zhao Chaoan flew closer and saw that it was indeed the style she liked: "Ah, okay."
After Ying Bu Ran had dressed the puppet, Zhao Chao An flew down from the nearby shelf and landed on Ying Bu Ran's shoulder. He nuzzled Ying Bu Ran's face and asked, "Is it ok now?"
Ying Bu Ran took a few steps back, holding his chin as he observed the puppet's body from top to bottom. "I think it should be almost there...why don't you check it yourself?"
Zhao Chaoan felt that there was nothing wrong, but in order to cooperate with Ying Bu Ran, he still flew around twice: "Let me take a look, it should be fine, then I will start."
Because he was covered by clothes, Zhao Chaoan did not rush up this time. Instead, he chose to fall on his head, transform into a spirit, and then slowly merge into it.
As the soul was absorbed into the puppet, the puppet's body began to emit light, which gradually became stronger, forcing Ying Bu Ran to close his eyes.
When the light faded, a complete "person" stood in front of her.
Zhao Chaoan looked at his new body with some curiosity. Seeing Ying Bu Ran looking at him, he raised his arm and asked excitedly, "How is it?"
Ying Bu Ran nodded, not realizing that he had also become happy. "You look exactly like the one I saw in the ghost world. How do you feel now?"
"To be honest, it feels a bit heavy, and I'm not quite used to it. But I should be able to get used to it after a while." Zhao Chaoan moved his arms. It was probably because he was used to the spiritual form, and he always had a feeling of falling down after becoming a physical body.
She tried to take a step, but because she hadn't controlled a physical body for a long time, her steps were extremely uncoordinated. She tripped over her left foot and almost fell down. If Ying Bu Ran hadn't been quick to catch her, she would have been in trouble.
Hmm? It seemed a little different from before, more like a human this time. Ying Bu Ran felt curious and couldn't help but pinch it.
A bit hard, like muscle.
Realizing what she was doing, Ying Bu Ran coughed twice and changed the subject: "It seems that you are still a little out of sync. Let me help you walk."
Zhao Chaoan originally wanted to try it again on his own, but when he heard Ying Bu Ran say this, he leaned against her with a clear conscience and said happily, "Okay!"
Ying Bu Ran felt Zhao Chaoan pressing against him, which was completely different from the previous feeling. He subconsciously pushed him away a little, his face slightly red. "...I said support, not leaning. You still need to try to control your strength."
Zhao Chaoan couldn't bear it anymore, and leaned over again like a spoiled child, holding Ying Bu Ran's hand as she whimpered and looked like she was about to cry: "But at the beginning, I really couldn't control my sobbing."
After saying this, as if to confirm her words, Zhao Chaoan forced out two tears, looking pitiful.
Ying Bu Ran was stared at by a pair of tearful eyes and finally couldn't hold on any longer. He sighed and compromised: "Okay, okay, okay, no problem, no problem, just lean on me."
When they looked up, they found Yun Xiangwan standing in the aisle looking at them with a smile, which made Ying Bu Ran's face a little red. Zhao Chaoan was very happy and didn't care about Yun Xiangwan's teasing look at all.
"It seems that the progress is good. Let's go. We are preparing for rain now. Although you are fine, you can watch and maintain order at the same time." Yun Xiangwan waved to signal the two to follow, then turned and left.
The corners of Zhao Chaoan's mouth twitched as he complained, "It's true that I can't be idle for even a moment..."
As soon as I finished here, I rushed to work over there.
Yun Xiangwan spread her hands, tilted her head and said with a smile, "After all, we still have things to do. We're short-staffed, so please be understanding."
.
Jiang Liuyan nodded when she saw Ying Bu Ran and the others coming, then looked at Si Nuo: "Everyone?"
"Everyone who hasn't received treatment is here," Sino replied.
Jiang Liuyan nodded, and bowed to Qu Lingyou and Bai Zhi, saying, "Then let's get started. Thank you for your help."
Qu Lingyou waved his hand, stole a glance at Bai Zhi, and said with a fake smile: "It's nothing."
Bai Zhi seemed not to feel her gaze and opened the white jade bottle in her hand: "Well, let's start."
The two of them activated their spiritual power together. Under the effect of the spiritual power, the potion in the white jade bottle immediately soared into the sky. Jiang Liuyan also shot a stream of spiritual power into the sky. With a loud thunder, light green rain slowly fell.
Ying Bu Ran was pulled by Zhao Chaoan to a place where she could not get wet in the rain. Seeing this, she curiously stretched out her hand to catch some raindrops: "It seems that I can really feel the medicinal properties. It's amazing?" She turned to look at Zhao Chaoan with a gleam in her eyes.
After Zhao Chaoan gained a physical form, he was taller than Ying Bu Ran. He lowered his head slightly and saw the light in Ying Bu Ran's eyes. His originally nonchalant expression was stained with a smile. He rubbed her head and said, "There are still capable people in the Wanxiang Sect. I used to think that there were few who could do anything."
As she spoke, she looked at Bai Zhi with a somewhat smug expression.
"Shh." Ying Bu Ran nudged Zhao Chaoan with his elbow. Sect Leader Bai is still here, so be careful with your words.
Zhao Chaoan shrugged and said nothing more. She really felt that the four major sects were not good enough.
Oh, now it seems that Tianyan Sect and Wanxiang Sect are a little better, there are still people alive.
Zhao Chaoan never thought about lowering the volume, so the sound was clearly transmitted to the front.
Bai Zhi twitched the corners of her mouth, but couldn't say anything. At this stage, she really had some things she couldn't refute.
Qu Lingyou wanted to laugh out loud, but then he remembered that his senior sister was still by his side, so he suppressed his laughter. He coughed and said seriously, "Senior sister, did you hear that? Those people in the sect who just take up positions and do nothing should be punished. Look at what their reputation has become."
Bai Zhi was silent for a while before she said, "We've already dealt with some of them, and we won't let the rest go."
Zhao Chaoan clapped her hands in response at the right time: "Come on... What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be leaving?" She looked suddenly in one direction. The rain had stopped and Zhao Qingxun was standing there.
Zhao Qingxun was stunned when she saw Zhao Chaoan. This person looked exactly like her, except for the hostility in his eyes: "You..."
“…”
Zhao Qingxun swallowed her doubts. She couldn't ask this question now. She could vaguely guess what the situation was with this person who looked exactly like her.
She looked at Ying Bu Ran and asked in a low voice, "I want to talk to you, is that okay?"
Ying Bu Ran raised her eyebrows, not knowing what Zhao Qingxun could say to her.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhao Qingxun added, "It won't take long. Just give me some time."
Ying Bu Ran thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, no one can hear us over there, let's go there."
"I want to return this to you." After standing still, Zhao Qingxun opened his hand, and a ring lay quietly in his palm.
Ying Bu Ran didn't make any move to pick it up. Instead, he leaned forward slightly, took a look, and then stood still: "What is this?"
Zhao Qingxun extended his hand forward again, as if he would not leave unless Ying Bu Ran took it. "It's a storage ring. It was yours before, but something happened later and I lost it. I found it again, and now it's back to its original owner."
Seeing her posture, Ying Bu Ran stretched out his hand hesitantly. When he placed it in the air, he could indeed feel a faint pulling sensation. After picking it up, he could see the space inside without any hindrance. There was also her soul mark on the ring.
"You... take care of yourself. I'm leaving, goodbye." Zhao Qingxun seemed to have solved a problem. He took a few steps back, feeling a little reluctant, but still waved goodbye to Ying Bu Ran and left.
Ying Bu Ran didn't say anything, and Zhao Qingxun knew that she would not get a response, so she just said what she wanted to say and didn't expect a response.
But what she didn't expect was that just as she turned to leave, she heard a very soft voice speaking.
"Well, bye."
