Chapter 83 Han Wei's Suspicion: Could it be that Gu Qi is not dead?
Han Wei turned her head, her gaze meeting the man's golden eyes. She stared into those deep, tender eyes. Was there truly no soul within this body?
She couldn't help but stroke the man's cheek, and he reached out to hug her, and the two became entangled again.
Han Wei, panting, said, "Call my name?"
“Weiwei,” he said.
Han Wei hugged him tightly and said, "Say you love me."
“I love you,” he said.
He penetrated her deeply, and she trembled.

When Han Wei woke up, she found herself on her bed. She turned to look at her side, but no one was there. Gu Qi wasn't beside her. She looked through the light gauze curtains and heavy drapery into the distance.
As dawn broke, the sky began to lighten, with dark clouds and the morning glow weaving together to create a magnificent tapestry of colors.
The round window in the room was open, and a man dressed in white sat on a mat, holding an adorable kitten in his arms. The kitten's fur was glossy and fluffy, and it rolled comfortably in the man's arms, nuzzling his palm affectionately. Its heterochromatic eyes shone like bright gemstones.
The man in white gently stroked her hair, a faint smile on his face.
Han Wei was horrified when she saw this scene.
She lay on the bed, her body stiff.
Will the corpse puppet tease the cat by itself?
Would a corpse laugh?
How could he have acted this way without orders?
Han Wei was in a state of turmoil, recalling all the unusual things Gu Qi had done.
Gu Qi didn't die. He deceived her, making her believe that she had killed him and turned him into a corpse puppet. In reality, he had been acting with her all along.
The thought flashed through Han Wei's mind, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her body was chilled, and the cold seeped into her bones. Fear, like wildly growing vines, wrapped around her tightly, as if trying to strangle her.
She had examined Gu Qi's body countless times, confirming that it contained no soul. But what was Gu Qi's cultivation level at his peak? She had no idea. What if he had already become an immortal?
She felt guilty for killing Gu Qi, and the thought of it always caused her heartache. But now, the thought that he was still alive and still acting with her filled her with terror that made her lose her mind.
She used to always try to find a sense of life in him, treating him as a living person, but she didn't want him to actually come to life at all. If he were alive, wouldn't he have been acting with her for over a hundred years? What would he be doing?
What is this pervert trying to do?
Han Wei was extremely flustered.
She was scared.
I was terrified.
Calm down, calm down, Han Wei forced herself to calm down.
She can't put a living person in a storage bag; she's put him in one so many times already. But if he really became an immortal, immortal methods might not be a problem for him. But if he's alive, why is he pretending to be a corpse puppet?
Just to make fun of yourself?
Perhaps he wasn't alive, but rather this corpse puppet had developed sentience?
But if this corpse puppet has gained sentience, then it is equivalent to having a soul, or at least a remnant soul. She was intimate with him yesterday, so there's no way she didn't notice.
Han Wei's mind raced with conflicting thoughts; she couldn't be sure whether Gu Qi was dead or alive.
Meow~
The kitten meowed once, jumped out of Gu Qi's arms, and left.
Gu Qi stood up and walked towards the bed. Han Wei immediately closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Gu Qi walked to the bedside, then climbed up and lay down next to Han Wei. He reached out to hug Han Wei, and Han Wei stiffened for a moment.

Three months later.
At the mountaintop, a girl in purple was practicing her swordsmanship. The sword energy surged, the sword shadows were eerie, and the sword energy condensed into long swords that danced in the air.
Not far away, a man dressed in white sat on a rock, watching a girl practicing her sword.
The man gazed at the girl, mentally calculating that it had been ninety-six days since she had been intimate with him.
The Heavenly Emperor deliberately let Han Wei see him playing with the cat. He wanted to know how Gu Qi would react if he were alive. He had expected Han Wei to be frightened, but he hadn't anticipated her reaction would be so much stronger. She stopped being affectionate with him and even harbored murderous intent towards him.
Her gaze toward him grew increasingly cold.
After Han Wei finished her swordplay, she sheathed her sword and exhaled.
At this moment, a jade disc in the storage bag emitted spiritual energy fluctuations, and Han Wei took it out. The jade disc bore the totem of Tianxiu City. This jade disc served as identification for every cultivator in Tianxiu City, and the envoys of Tianxiu Palace also used it to assign tasks to cultivators.
The jade disc emitted a green light in Han Wei's hand, and the light formed characters that conveyed a message: Meet at Qingfeng Cliff in Tianxiu City in seven days.
Ding Qi hadn't received a mission in decades, so it wasn't surprising that he was now receiving a mission message. Since Han Wei was using his identity, this mission was mandatory.
Han Wei thought to herself: Just one sentence, nothing else, what kind of mission could it be?
With her current cultivation level, she naturally wasn't afraid of any mission. What she feared were the dangers around her. Thinking of this, she caught a glimpse of Gu Qi beside her out of the corner of her eye.
Han Wei put away the jade disc. There were still seven days left. Let's do one thing first.

Inside the secret room stood a girl in yellow and a man in white.
In the center of the secret chamber was a stone platform, upon which lay a corpse. The corpse was that of a handsome middle-aged man, his eyes closed, lifelike, showing no signs of having been dead for a long time.
This is Mo Yang's corpse.
Han Wei had long wanted to turn him into a corpse puppet, but she hadn't done it before. Now she remembered him, and she remembered him because of Gu Qi's unusual behavior.
Han Wei raised her hand, and Mo Yang's corpse, surrounded by azure light, floated up. She continuously cast restrictive runes, imprinting them onto Mo Yang's body. Mo Yang's long hair flew wildly, and veins bulged beneath his skin. Han Wei continued casting restrictive runes, and Mo Yang's corpse was enveloped in azure light.
After Han Wei cast thousands of restrictions, Mo Yang's corpse fell from the sky and landed on the stone platform. Han Wei looked at his body covered with cyan totems, pointed at Mo Yang's brow, and cast the final restriction. Mo Yang opened his eyes.
He sat up, his empty eyes looking at Han Wei. Suddenly, a ferocious expression appeared on his face, and he lunged at Han Wei. Han Wei's eyes turned cold, and with a flick of her finger, green halos appeared around Mo Yang's body. These halos were made of restrictive runes, which imprisoned him in mid-air.
The corpse puppet wanted to rebel against her.
This situation is not uncommon. Han Wei formed hand seals and added over a hundred more restrictions to Mo Yang's body, which calmed him down.
Although both are wood spirit puppets, Mo Yang and Gu Qi are clearly different. While Mo Yang doesn't possess any corpse aura, his sense of life is noticeably weaker than Gu Qi's; he has no body temperature.
Han Wei glanced at Mo Yang, then at Gu Qi, as if comparing the two. Then, she raised her hand, revealing a small jade bottle containing Mo Yang's soul. Should she refine this soul and reintroduce it into his original body?
After soul refining, stuffing the soul back into the original body makes the wood spirit puppet stronger. However, its rebellious spirit will also become stronger.
Gu Qi never had any intention of resisting, which Han Wei used to find a bit strange.
