Chapter 118 A Past Event from My Youth
The next second, Yu Shan felt as if her three souls and seven spirits were being pulled out of her body by an invisible hand and stuffed into the body of the stone statue girl.
Looking back, she saw that her body had lost its support and she collapsed limply.
Little White, who had been watching her closely, was shocked and teleported away, managing to catch her just before she fell to the ground.
"Fanzi, what's wrong?" he asked anxiously.
Feather Fan shouted loudly, "Little White! I'm inside the stone statue!"
However, Xiaobai seemed not to hear anything and worriedly said, "Fan, say something! Don't scare me!"
Yu Shan saw that her body was deathly pale, and her eyes were blank and unfocused, like a person who had lost their soul.
In fact, she was a person who had lost her soul, with a soul that had been erased of its consciousness being inserted into her body.
This spirit can temporarily ensure that her body does not lose its vitality and wither away quickly.
But that's all. Now that body is like a living dead person, having lost its five senses. It seems to be alive, but in reality, it's worse than a person in a vegetative state.
Because a person in a vegetative state may wake up one day, but as long as her three souls and seven spirits do not return to her body, her body is just a soulless vessel.
After realizing the situation, Yu Shan stopped looking at the scene of Xiao Bai and the others surrounding her with worry and anxiety.
She then began to examine the internal structure of the stone statue, which was exquisitely crafted.
However, from the outside, it looks like a stone statue, which is very cleverly disguised. It uses a thin outer shell made of porcelain and has a layer of high-quality alloy embedded inside.
Beneath this outer shell are lifelike internal organs and limbs made of celestial crystal jade, connected by countless transparent threads, forming a high-level puppet.
The puppet was driven by a high-level magic array. She had seen this kind of magic array before and knew that its core required a conscious soul to drive it.
Once upon a time in the Misty Heavenly Mirror, a cultivator's partner's physical body was destroyed by heavenly lightning tribulation, so he created such a puppet body for her and put her soul into the body.
Although they can no longer be intimate, at least the two of them can stay together forever.
This is the dilemma facing Yu Shan: if she refuses to become the driver of this magic circle, she will be unable to control the puppet's body and will remain trapped inside the stone statue.
However, once she accepts this condition, it is tantamount to giving up the hope of returning to her original body and becoming a puppet.
In fact, her current true form is just a low-level martial artist, so it's not a pity to give up such a body.
If she could find an opportunity to be reincarnated into a body with better aptitude, she could cultivate to a higher level than she is now in just ten years.
The problem is that she has an unborn daughter inside her body, which she cannot give up no matter what.
She was truly faced with an unsolvable problem.
"Come out! What purpose do you hope to achieve by setting up such a scheme?"
"Do you intend to trap me in this puppet and kill me, or take this opportunity to destroy both my soul and my physical body?" she suddenly grabbed the puppet's heart.
The next second, a wisp of green smoke drifted out of the mechanical heart, and the moment the smoke appeared, the narrow puppet body in front of them disappeared.
Yu Shan found herself by a river, with graceful weeping willows growing along the banks and an exquisite painted boat on the river.
On the second-floor corridor of the pleasure boat, a dashing figure leaned against the railing, seemingly enjoying the gentle breeze.
"Does this scene look familiar?" the young man on the pleasure boat asked softly.
Yu Shan frowned, searching earnestly in her memory. After a long while, she finally remembered.
When she was just a candidate for sainthood, she was sent to the temple of the Holy Witch Clan along with three other girls for training.
At the age of sixteen, candidates for the Holy Maiden are required to conceal their identities, go out alone to gain experience, and search for a fragment of a sacred artifact left behind by the Holy Witch Clan.
The location of the training is chosen by the individual, but if they fail to bring back a fragment after the training, they will be deemed to have failed the training and will lose their qualification as a candidate for saintess.
When it was Feather Fan's turn to undergo training, she chose to go to the Martial Continent, which was under the jurisdiction of the Misty Heavenly Mirror.
That place is where martial artists and mortals live together, and the spiritual energy is very thin, so very few candidates for sainthood choose to go there to train.
Yu Shan thought that the first two sisters had chosen the most prosperous city in the Misty Heavenly Realm, but ended up with nothing.
So she did the opposite and chose a low-level continent with the thinnest spiritual energy, hoping to find a fragment by chance.
Most importantly, she usually doesn't even have the chance to leave the temple gates. If she doesn't take this opportunity to travel far away, she will have to stay in the clan territory for the rest of her life.
The scene before her eyes was what happened during her training in the low-level martial arts continent.
She was passing by a certain place and was enthusiastically going to take a boat trip on the lake when she saw the young man standing on the painted boat in the lake.
She was drawn to the young man's figure, finding it rare to find someone with such an ethereal and otherworldly air in such a low-level continent.
Driven by curiosity, he couldn't resist using his spiritual eyes to take a look.
With just one glance, she noticed that the young man was surrounded by purple aura, indicating that he was a person of great fortune.
However, the purple aura was connected to an array and was being drawn away by the array bit by bit.
This means he has been framed, and someone has used evil magic to steal his luck.
Yu Shan originally came here to enjoy the lake. As someone from the upper realm, she was just a spectator in this realm and had no intention of interfering in the affairs here.
However, the young man had been drugged in his drink and then dragged into the cabin, where he was surrounded by a dozen or so alluring women with heavy makeup.
It looks like they plan to take turns using their skills to exhaust him to death.
She happened to witness such an offensive act, and Yu Shan couldn't bear to do it.
In their Holy Witch Clan, women are revered, and men are always protected by women. This is similar to how, if a man in the human race sees a group of men planning to bully a weak woman, it would be unreasonable not to help her.
Feather Fan then flew onto the painted boat, threw the group of women surrounding the man into the water, and then took out a calming pill and fed it to him.
After the man regained consciousness, she reminded him to be wary of someone stealing his luck.
For her, this was just a casual thing to do. Before leaving, the man asked her name and said he wanted to set up a longevity tablet for her.
The feather fan laughed and said, "I am from the Misty Heaven Realm of the Upper Realm, and I can live forever without an immortality tablet."
"If I go to the Misty Heaven in the future, where should I look for you?" the man asked.
"I am the Holy Maiden of the Holy Witch Clan. You will never have the chance to see me while I am alive, and even if I die, I will be buried in the clan's forbidden area, where you will never see me!" With these words, the feather fan drifted away.
