Contrary to Lu Shiqing's expectations, there was not a trace of confusion on Bai Mumu's face.
The eyes that looked at him were filled with a familiar indifference and aloofness. Even though it wasn't her face, he could easily tell who the real soul in her body was.
Shen Sanruo's temperament was completely different from Bai Mumu's, and Bai Mumu's body also underwent a very obvious change.
The dark, damp feeling of doing dirty tricks behind someone's back was instantly burned away by a blazing fire.
Lu Shiqing was also stunned by the flames.
Didn't Bai Mumu say it would take at least an hour for her to wake up? How come Shen Sangri's current state makes it seem like she wasn't bewitched at all?
He then knew.
That good-for-nothing is indeed unreliable. No wonder he died so tragically before. Now that he's been resurrected, he still hasn't improved at all!
But Lu Shiqing quickly composed himself; it was just a minor incident.
He was certain that the body inside Bai Mumu's body was Shen Sangruo. She was already by his side, and that was enough. Everything else was insignificant.
Moreover, if Shen Sangri woke up directly, wouldn't that be a good thing for him?
Lu Shiqing put on a smile again, a smile exactly the same as when they had broken up before.
It was as if they were still the same pair of very close senior and junior classmates, with no rift between them.
"Sang Ruo, you should have already guessed what happened, right?" He was extremely calm, looking completely confident and without the slightest bit of guilt.
Hidden within her smiling eyes was a deep-seated obsession.
"You don't need to be angry. I've found the right way to win back your feelings. Once you do, you'll understand the good intentions behind everything I've done..."
Shen Sanruo sneered, her gaze fixed on Lu Shiqing with chilling intent, and spoke in a mocking tone:
"I was wondering how a system could find Bai Mumu's body and revive her. It turns out you were the perfect mole to help push things along."
"Lu Shiqing, you are truly foolish and courting death." Her eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Hearing her speak, a crack finally appeared in Lu Shiqing's calm expression, revealing a look of shock. "You can actually speak?! How can you speak?! Bai Mumu isn't..."
"Bai Mumu didn't use the system to seal my soul, restrict my movements, or prevent me from speaking. Is that what you're trying to say?" Chen Sanruo took over his words, making no attempt to hide the contempt and disdain in her tone.
"She and that so-called system think they can restrict my soul? Have they forgotten that even years ago, I was able to tear the system out of her soul?"
She gave a light snort, and Lu Shiqing saw something around her body seem to shatter instantly, without her even having to make a move.
That was what restricted her.
Lu Shiqing was shocked and incredulous.
The smile on his face seemed to mock the foolishness of one person unifying the country, and also seemed to mock Lu Shiqing who believed in them.
As if to prove her words, the next moment, she nimbly rolled off the bed and kicked Lu Shiqing in the chest.
Lu Shiqing never expected her to attack him suddenly. By the time he realized what was happening, Shen Sangruo had already pinned him to the ground, her foot on his chest.
Bai Mumu's cultivation had dissipated the moment she died. He could sense that the power was not spiritual power, but the power of the soul.
Such overwhelming power suppressed him to the point of being unable to move an inch; even the slightest movement could cause excruciating pain to his already damaged soul.
Bai Mumu knew that after Shen Sangruo's soul was transferred to this body, even without cultivation, she could still use the power of her soul.
Therefore, they had made preparations in advance, attempting to seal her divine soul power, so that after the exchange of divine souls, she would become a completely mortal, and any cultivator could easily control her.
Even though Lu Shiqing is now a cripple, he can still control her.
Bai Mumu and the evil cultivation system had a wonderful imagination, but unfortunately, things didn't turn out as they wished.
She pressed harder with her feet, causing Lu Shiqing's chest to cave in, and he soon began to have difficulty breathing, his face turning bluish-purple.
"Whether it's her or the system, they're both just my defeated opponents. Besides, it was Bai Mumu who died a few years ago, but I didn't die, so naturally I haven't stopped moving forward."
Over the past few years, Shen Sangruo's spiritual power has been continuously increasing, making it difficult to restrict her spiritual power.
Lu Shiqing was rendered speechless by her stepping on him, but his trembling pupils, filled with shock, said it all.
"Did you think I wouldn't notice anything unusual during my tribulation? What a tribulation of inner demons! Ha, whose inner demons begin with a strange sense of fear, and then the object of that fear appears?"
A look of confusion crossed Lu Shiqing's face. She clearly understood that what Bai Mumu meant was to first trigger her own fears, and then, once her mind was affected, make her believe that she was Bai Mumu.
This way, the body will not resist Bai Mumu's body, and her soul will be successfully introduced into the unfamiliar body.
But now Shen Sangruo says that no corresponding images appeared before the feeling of fear arose.
After a brief moment of confusion, Lu Shiqing immediately realized something.
There is nothing in this world that can frighten her, or to put it another way, her Dao heart is firm enough that even external forces cannot shake it.
They greatly underestimated her determination.
Therefore, the system artificially created a sense of fear. With Shen Sangruo's keen insight, if she didn't notice something amiss, then something sinister must be going on.
"Then I indeed discovered an unfamiliar power mixed in with the power of the heavenly tribulation, attacking my soul and triggering the inner demon tribulation."
"So I deliberately lowered my spiritual defenses and gave up resisting, wanting to see what that power was going to do."
Now she knows.
She wanted to fight against that force, but she didn't know its background. The fact that it dared to attack her so openly meant that it must have made thorough preparations.
At that time, I was undergoing tribulation and had no opportunity to confront the opponent, so I chose to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.
Otherwise, even with the help of evil cultivators, it would take at least several days to break through her defenses in order to exchange her soul.
The restrictions placed on her soul by the evil cultivation system were based on the strength of her soul, which led them to misjudge the strength of her soul, allowing her to break free easily at this moment.
Lu Shiqing forced a smile despite the pain and said, "Yes... I forgot... how... how amazing my Sang Ruo is..."
Instead of panicking when her conspiracy was exposed, a look of pride and doting affection appeared on her face.
He was not flustered at all. No matter what, their souls had already been exchanged. As long as he could regain her feelings, she would be able to elope with him.
He can still achieve his goal.
