Qiao Zhen nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "I understand, I understand, I will dedicate myself to you until my dying breath!"
With a stern, childlike face, Jia Mingli said, "Words are no proof; let's see how you perform."
Qiao Zhen was unusually well-behaved, like a kindergarten girl. She sat upright on the carpet, condensing her immortal power in her palms. With a few twists and turns, the immortal power became increasingly concentrated. She murmured an ancient incantation, "Please close your eyes and relax."
Both the real and fake Mingli carp closed their eyes.
Qiao Zhen placed her hands on their heads, channeling her immortal power into them to envelop their seven souls and six spirits, then gradually drawing it out until both of their souls were completely extracted. She was exhausted and drenched in sweat.
But they couldn't stop yet. The situation was no less critical. Qiao Zhen remained sitting steadily on the carpet, raising her hand to put the souls back into their bodies.
The entire process took only half an hour, but it consumed all of Qiao Zhen's immortal power.
Qiao Zhen felt so weak that even opening her eyes was difficult. She collapsed to the ground, and everything went black.
After their souls were swapped, Mingzhao quickly regained consciousness. He looked at Mingli, who was lying slumped in the middle of the sofa, and then at Qiaozhen, whose hair was scattered on the carpet.
Mingzhao naturally carried Qiao Zhen to the soft, comfortable bed first. He possessed divine power, but since Mingli didn't know how to use it, he didn't reveal it. He placed his hand on Qiao Zhen's back, transferring a wisp of divine power to make her feel better and to replenish her dantian.
When Qiao Zhen's furrowed brows relaxed, he leaned down and kissed her forehead, then erased all of Ming Li's memories of the past few days, and also erased all of Ming Li's impressions of Qiao Zhen.
Hmph! You think you can steal my woman, even if she's just a three-year-old toddler?!
At 3:30 p.m., Qiao Zhen slowly woke up. She struggled against the arms that were restraining her, but stopped halfway through the movement. She opened her eyes and looked at Ming Zhao.
A handsome face so close to my eyes.
Qiao Zhen's mind went blank for a moment. Before she could come to her senses, Ming Zhao's smiling eyes moved even closer to her. "Stunned, huh?"
"Huh?" Qiao Zhen asked stupidly, and the moment her memory returned, she immediately pushed Ming Zhao away. "Men and women should not touch each other. Since there is no mission in this world, I hope you will not take advantage of the friendship from the previous worlds to act like a hooligan! Besides, our friendship in the past was based on missions. Strictly speaking, our relationship is completely innocent!"
Mingzhao wouldn't let her have her way and insisted on getting close to her. "Really? Miss, I didn't mean to be a pervert. You used to flirt with me from afar through missions, but now that we've met in person, why are you backing down?"
A crack appeared in Qiao Zhen's calm expression. "If you weren't so troublesome, would I need to provoke you?" She looked at the man with suspicion. "Are there any ancient gods in the Heavenly Realm who are as troublesome as you?"
Mingzhao thought carefully, "No."
Qiao Zhen pushed the man away, flipped over and pinned him down, "Since you're not an ancient god, what are you pretending for? Sorry, I'm a second-generation ancient god, so please treat me with respect from now on, okay? Otherwise, I'll bully you!"
Mingzhao put her arms on either side of her head, "Then you're going to bully me soon~"
Qiao Zhen looked at Ming Zhao in disbelief, "Are you from the Heavenly Realm? This fairy has been hanging around the low-end version of Kunlun Mirror for years, and I've never heard of any deity being so flamboyant!"
“No, I’m only flirtatious with you.” Mingzhao wrapped her arms around Qiao Zhen’s slender waist. “You once said that you would never let go of me except in our last life.”
Qiao Zhen retorted, "This is a special situation that requires special handling. As they say, plans can't keep up with changes."
Mingzhao accused her, "You broke your promise!" He frowned, feeling wronged.
No, Mingzhao is too handsome. If I keep looking at him, Qiao Zhen's "face-obsessed" tendencies will kick in again. She warned herself to stay true to herself and not be swayed by him.
That very day, Qiao Zhen packed up Ming Zhao's belongings and threw him and his luggage out of the Qiao family home.
"I've erased Mingli's memories." Mingzhao stood at the door, blocking it.
Qiao Zhen glared, slammed the door shut, and shouted outside, "I understand!"
Mingzhao sighed heavily, dragging her suitcase. What should she do if she's a complete coward after meeting her crush in real life? Just wait. He has decades in this world to pursue her, and he's rich, powerful, and most importantly—handsome. Qiao Zhen's true identity as a looks-obsessed guy had long since been exposed.
Qiao Zhen looked through the peephole and saw that Ming Zhao wasn't at the door. She then went to the bedroom to pick up Ming Li, intending to take her back to the Ming family's courtyard. However, when she took the elevator to the first floor, she saw Ming Zhao leaning against the door.
When Mingzhao saw Qiao Zhen, he immediately flashed an incredibly handsome smile. He had just practiced in front of the reflective wall in the elevator.
Qiao Zhen narrowed her eyes. Good heavens, that smile was going to hurt her eyes. "Since you're here, come with me to the Ming family and get rid of Ming Yan's... too."
Since Mingzhao admitted that he was not an ancient god, Qiao Zhen's attitude towards him has become much more casual. It's not that she's disrespectful, but she's just not as reserved as before. Before, she was so nervous that she got goosebumps and her scalp tingled.
Mingzhao took Mingli from her arms. "Okay."
The two went to the Ming family's courtyard together. It was the weekend, and Ming Yan was working on documents in the study. Without saying a word, Ming Zhao directly erased Ming Yan's memories.
Qiao Zhen stared in disbelief. "How are we going to get out of here when he wakes up?"
Mingzhao gave Qiaozhen a fierce, cool, and arrogant look. "It's okay. He's just the head of the second branch of the Ming family. I'm still the head of the first branch."
