Ling Xiaotian wondered if he and He Jingjing had a conflict of fate. Otherwise, why did other cultivators become stronger the more they cultivated their souls, but he was different. Ever since he met He Jingjing, the soul fragments he released were often destroyed into ashes. After so many years, Ling Xiaotian's soul was still about the same strength as when it first entered He Jingjing's body. It was true that nothing had gone smoothly.
After He Jingjing went to the hospital to "mock" Zhou Yuanyuan, she returned home satisfied.
Ling Xiaotian's heart, however, felt like it was being scratched by a cat's claws, its nerves pounding. Zhou Yuanyuan's soulless body in the hospital was like a huge pie, dropped on Ling Xiaotian's head, so delicious that he couldn't bear not to eat it!
Ling Xiaotian thought about it for a day and a night and finally came up with a good idea. He urged He Jingjing to confront He Shumin.
Ling Xiaotian knew that He Jingjing's only dream was to marry Wen Ziqing. That time, after He Jingjing proposed a marriage alliance with the Wen family and was rejected by He Shumin, she hid in her room and threw a tantrum, yelling about her rebirth. Otherwise, Ling Xiaotian really wouldn't have known that He Jingjing was reborn.
Ling Xiaotian's suggestion struck a chord with He Jingjing, who had been considering confronting He Shumin the past few days. After all, if she didn't tell He Shumin about her rebirth, how could she believe that Wen Ziqing would be a good candidate for her grandson-in-law? If she couldn't marry Wen Ziqing in this life, what was the point of her rebirth?
With Ling Xiaotian's help in analysis, He Jingjing felt that as long as she explained everything to He Shumin, He Shumin would naturally help her get Wen Ziqing.
At this time, He Jingjing didn't know that she was being used by Ling Xiaotian. Ling Xiaotian wanted to get rid of He Jingjing, this unreliable host, and find another way out. Taking over Zhou Yuanyuan's body became Ling Xiaotian's best option.
However, Ling Xiaotian's soul is still relatively weak now, and he needs to set up a formation to safely transfer his soul from He Jingjing to Zhou Yuanyuan.
Setting up a formation in the hospital was definitely not an option. Zhao Yunxiang and her family weren't easy to mess with. How could they allow He Jingjing to stay alone in the ward and do something so bizarre to Zhou Yuanyuan? Even if there was such an opportunity, Ling Xiaotian wouldn't dare bet on He Jingjing. He preferred to get Zhou Yuanyuan's body to the He family and then slowly figure out a solution himself.
Ling Xiaotian lacked a physical body, so he needed help setting up the formation. Originally, it would have been ideal if He Jingjing could do it. However, He Jingjing's unreliability had already etched itself into Ling Xiaotian's mind. He felt that this was a rare opportunity, and that he needed too many unusual items to transfer his soul, and He Jingjing's limited abilities might not be able to gather them all. Instead of asking He Jingjing for help, he might as well seek He Shumin's cooperation. At least He Shumin was smart enough, and if he knew Ling Xiaotian would give him enough benefits, he would definitely get the job done.
So, Ling Xiaotian set his sights on He Shumin again. But who was He Shumin? A thousand-year-old fox, he was no match for a fool like He Jingjing. Without sufficient benefits, Ling Xiaotian's desire to seek He Shumin's cooperation and get him to take action against Zhou Yuanyuan's family was simply wishful thinking.
Ling Xiaotian then found a roundabout way. He first instigated He Jingjing to confess to He Shumin about her rebirth and the "system". As long as He Shumin believed it, Ling Xiaotian could plan other things.
He Jingjing believed Ling Xiaotian's lies and really ran to He Shumin to tell her the secret of her rebirth. She even confessed to He Shumin that she had an omnipotent "system" in her body.
He Shumin wasn't too surprised. After all, He Jingjing's behavior had always been exceptional. It was hard to believe that a child of just a few years old could accurately judge the direction of a country's development.
After He Jingjing's explanation, He Shumin felt that everything made sense. After all, many things were what He Jingjing had experienced in her previous life. It was also a blessing for He Shumin to be able to be like a prophet after living again.
As for the "system" He Jingjing was talking about, He Shumin didn't understand. He thought it was a master being called "the system" inhabiting He Jingjing's body, asking her for advice from time to time. He Shumin relied on two of He Jingjing's tips in recent years to make two crucial decisions. It can be said that He Shumin's rapid rise is largely due to the contributions of those behind him.
However, He Shumin was very dissatisfied with what He Jingjing had said about his past life. He was going to die in less than ten years? And their He family also declined with his death. Such an ending was unbearable for He Shumin.
While He Jingjing was showing off her "system," Ling Xiaotian rendered her unconscious for several minutes. Using her as a mouthpiece, he discussed important matters with He Shumin. In front of He Shumin, Ling Xiaotian portrayed himself as a master. In his own time and space, Ling Xiaotian's original world also had a mortal realm, where cultivators who reached the Foundation Establishment stage would journey to cultivate and gain experience. Therefore, Ling Xiaotian knew that the more prestigious someone was, the more likely they were to dream of immortality or everlasting wealth.
To trick He Shumin, Ling Xiaotian revealed his skills. For example, He Shumin had secretly murdered several people over the years, and the methods used. As a former cultivator, Ling Xiaotian was adept at fortune-telling.
As expected, He Shumin was stunned by Ling Xiaotian. There were some things that even He Shumin himself had almost forgotten, but with Ling Xiaotian's reminder, he finally remembered them.
Finally, Ling Xiaotian asked He Shumin if he wanted to have supreme power? If so, Ling Xiaotian could help him perform the "transfer magic".
He Shumin was half-believing and half-doubting. For an old fox like him, not releasing the eagle until the rabbit is seen has become an instinct in his life.
Ling Xiaotian stopped talking after this. He knew some things couldn't be rushed. Someone like He Shumin was too wary, so he had to wait until he figured it out. Zhou Yuanyuan's body had been in the hospital for almost three months, with no sign of her returning to life. Ling Xiaotian could only hope He Shumin would make a decision quickly.
After two days of deliberation, He Shumin finally approached He Jingjing. This time, Ling Xiaotian used the same trick again, putting He Jingjing's spirit to sleep while he used He Jingjing's mouth to discuss things with He Shumin.
Supreme power? The mere thought of that word excited He Shumin. He Shumin knew his own limitations; without a truly great opportunity, he would remain where he was. Every man has his own ambitions, and to be able to see the view from the highest point was He Shumin's lifelong dream.
