He Jingjing called out several times before she heard the "system" lazily reply, "What's the matter?"
Ling Xiaotian didn't want to pay any attention to He Jingjing at all. This woman was the stupidest woman he had ever seen in his hundreds of years of life.
It seems that a genius is a genius, and a fool is a fool. Even after two lifetimes, He Jingjing's brain is still dumber than many people. Her focus is different from that of ordinary people, and her brain structure is also different from that of ordinary people. Ling Xiaotian was full of confidence at first, constantly reminding He Jingjing and constantly correcting her occasional off-the-beaten-path behavior. But now, Ling Xiaotian really doesn't want to say anything anymore. Because He Jingjing is a person who does things according to her own preferences and makes the same mistakes over and over again.
Wouldn't it be better for He Jingjing to just be the eldest daughter of the He family? With Ling Xiaotian's help, as long as He Jingjing worked hard on her cultivation, she would surely achieve a successful life, if not a place in history. But what happened? This guy ignored his advice. He found it tiring after a few days of training, and he found it dangerous to use "witchcraft" once. She failed at everything she did, yet she still believed she was the star of the world, and everyone had to revolve around her.
"System, I want strength, very strong strength. Can you help me?" He Jingjing shuddered as she thought of her current situation. She believed that if she could be traded for something that would benefit the He family, they would definitely sell her for a better price.
"What do you have in exchange? You can't cultivate, and you can't endure hardship." If Ling Xiaotian had a body, he really wanted to look up to the heavens and sigh. What kind of "shit luck" did he have to find a host like He Jingjing among the countless people? He didn't want to put in any effort, just dreaming of a pie in the sky. How could she not be so happy?
If it weren't for the recent excessive energy loss, Ling Xiaotian would have changed his host even if it meant losing some energy. At the very least, He Jingjing's grandfather, He Shumin, was a good candidate. Although He Shumin was a little older, he was very smart!
He Jingjing was silent. Indeed, she didn't want to thicken her hands, nor did she want to get up early every morning to practice. She had lived a new life to enjoy life, not to suffer.
After He Jingjing fell silent, Ling Xiaotian also fell silent. These past few days, Ling Xiaotian was constantly worried, for He Jingjing's future, but more importantly, for his own future.
He Jingjing's body was merely a body of five spiritual roots, of poor aptitude. Even if Ling Xiaotian took her body, without spiritual stones or elixirs, Ling Xiaotian would remain stuck at the Qi Refining stage for the rest of his life. This made Ling Xiaotian, once a powerful cultivator, extremely unwilling to accept this. He wanted to live, and live in glory. In the world of cultivation, cultivators at the Qi Refining stage were useless; they could be cannon fodder at any moment!
On the contrary, Zhou Yuanyuan, whom He Jingjing hated very much, was a cultivator with good qualifications.
That day, in order to mock Zhou Yuanyuan who had become a "vegetable", He Jingjing took her two followers Qu Lulu and Liu Meili to the hospital.
Zhao Yunxiang didn't know that the relationship between He Jingjing and Zhou Yuanyuan was very bad. Qu Lulu and Liu Meili had followed their teacher to the hospital to visit Zhou Yuanyuan before. Zhao Yunxiang still remembered them, so she opened the door and let He Jingjing and the other three into the ward.
He Jingjing watched Zhou Yuanyuan closely and took the opportunity to touch her hand, wanting to feel if the so-called "vegetative state" still had body temperature. The moment He Jingjing's hand touched Zhou Yuanyuan's, Ling Xiaotian, who was weak and sleeping, was excited.
Ling Xiaotian's spirit was very weak. If He Jingjing's hand hadn't touched Zhou Yuanyuan's body, Ling Xiaotian would have had no idea what was happening to her. After He Jingjing held Zhou Yuanyuan's hand, Ling Xiaotian discovered that Zhou Yuanyuan actually had spiritual roots in her body. With the vision of Ling Xiaotian, who was once a powerful Yuanying, how could he not know that Zhou Yuanyuan's coma was not sleepiness, but her spirit had left her body.
Zhou Yuanyuan, who could survive the separation of her spirit and soul, was undoubtedly a cultivator. Furthermore, as far as Ling Xiaotian knew, only cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage or higher could perform this technique. Furthermore, in the split second He Jingjing made contact with Zhou Yuanyuan, Ling Xiaotian determined the body's bone age was only thirteen. In the world of cultivation, age is determined by bone age; otherwise, it would be common to see female cultivators who are hundreds of years old but appear to be in their twenties.
A thirteen-year-old foundation-building cultivator was considered a genius in the world before Ling Xiaotian. Even if Ling Xiaotian's previous body hadn't established its foundation until he was almost thirty, it would have already attracted many envious and jealous eyes.
The soulless thirteen-year-old Zhou Yuanyuan's body before him was like a treasure from heaven, tempting Ling Xiaotian all the time. If he could occupy Zhou Yuanyuan's body before her spirit returned, then Ling Xiaotian would be reborn!
Ling Xiaotian's heart burned. God knew he was nearly driven to death by He Jingjing. This woman was lazy and clueless, and because of the agreement he'd made with He Jingjing when he'd first impersonated the "system," he couldn't devour her soul. Ling Xiaotian tried many methods, but couldn't expel He Jingjing's spirit from her body. Suddenly, a host emerged, a hundred times better than He Jingjing's, and Ling Xiaotian couldn't wait to claim it as his own.
Unfortunately, Ling Xiaotian could only think about this idea. Ling Xiaotian, who was living in He Jingjing's body, was extremely weak at this time and could not perform the spell of taking over another body.
Coincidentally, Ling Xiaotian's two large-scale soul-nourishing techniques in this time and space both failed.
The first time was with the woman named He Xiaona who had a pure Yin constitution. Because of Zhou Yuanyuan's intervention, a wisp of Ling Xiaotian's soul was destroyed, causing him to suffer serious damage. He Jingjing was also affected and had to lie down for more than four years before she recovered.
The second time was with the fragmented souls of Cuiyuan Village. The Cuiyuan Village incident was Ling Xiaotian's doing. During the years He Jingjing was "recovering" abroad, Ling Xiaotian used soul-nurturing techniques to restore a portion of her spirit. Otherwise, He Jingjing wouldn't have recovered so quickly. After returning to China, Ling Xiaotian set his sights on secluded mountain villages. Taking advantage of He Jingjing's outings, Ling Xiaotian implanted fragmented souls in the Cuiyuan villagers. This time, Ling Xiaotian didn't wait until all the fragmented souls were fully developed before retrieving them. Instead, he periodically absorbed nutrients from the fragmented souls, nurturing them as he went along.
As a result, just as Ling Xiaotian had recovered part of his soul, the entire Cuiyuan Village soul was intercepted by the black bear demon. This time, Ling Xiaotian's damage was not as serious as the first time, but it still forced He Jingjing to stay in bed for two months before she recovered some of her energy.
