115: Chapter 115 Fierce Fate

"Monster! This seat could tell at a glance that you are not..."

You got it wrong. You crook your finger, and Zhou Xiaonuan, whose face had gone pale from saying the wrong thing, brightened up and eagerly scurried over to squat down in front of you.

You raise your hand to stroke the top of her head, and she squints her eyes, docilely rubbing against your palm,

Hmm... Based on your experience, she should belong to the Siamese cat variety, super clingy, definitely not one of those inherently evil shorthaired cats!

"Zhou Xiaonuan, can you reveal your true form?"

A strange glint bursts from your eyes.

Zhou Xiaonuan shrinks her neck under your gaze, then cautiously shakes her head.

"I'm sorry, I forgot how to change back."

As expected, this is an amnesiac demonic beast, but to be able to transform into human form at such a low realm means her bloodline must be extremely noble.

Your gaze flickers slightly, and you soothe her head again with a comforting touch, a hint of encouragement in your tone:

"Can you try to remember the name of your race?"

"Race..."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaonuan is dazed for a split second, then five-colored radiance circulates in the depths of her eyes.

The next moment, your pupils shrink drastically as you see the phantom of a giant cat with five tails hanging across the sky slowly materialize behind her, while countless rivers of stars seem to float up and down beneath its feet in the void.

That suppression originating from the bloodline level instantly soaks your entire body in cold sweat.

Fortunately, the phantom only lasts for a split second before dissipating like smoke, but right at the moment of dissolution, you clearly feel it cast its gaze down at you.

!!!

The feeling of being spied upon that just arose in your heart immediately vanishes as well.

Zhou Xiaonuan seems not to notice any abnormality, only unconsciously biting her own finger. After a long while, she speaks two words uncertainly.

"Zhen... ming?"

"Zhenming?!"

You gasp a breath of cold air.

"Big Sister knows?"

Zhou Xiaonuan's eyes light up.

You decisively shake your head. You haven't heard of it, you just feel the name has a strong aura of awesomeness.

Moreover, that phantom just now must be the true form of the somewhat silly-looking girl before you!

Your hand stroking the cat... stroking Zhou Xiaonuan trembles imperceptibly. Won't you be beaten to death if she remembers this in the future?

Oh~ I suddenly remembered that this is in a simulation! Then it's fine.

You smoothly increase your strength, and Zhou Xiaonuan quickly gets lost in your stroking, her large eyes squinting so much that the gaps are invisible.

You look at her with deep eyes, while calculating the gains and losses in your heart. Zhenming, huh...

If you can obtain the assistance of a great demon like that divine beast, your future path of cultivation will inevitably be much smoother, but this matter still needs long-term planning.

The most crucial thing is that you must absolutely not have any contact with her in reality!

In the simulation, the other party couldn't pry into your foundations, which should be due to the simulator's protection, but that might not be the case in reality.

Those who cultivate immortality must always remember the three most important points—caution! Caution! Still caution!

...

The day of the second round of selection quickly arrives. Amidst Chi Chuan's rather jealous gaze, you bring along the pendant Zhou Xiaonuan and slowly walk toward the viewing platform.

Just as you are about to walk toward an empty seat in the corner, you notice a youth in the front row staring intently at you with burning eyes.

Sweeping over with divine sense, Qi Condensation Third Layer?

The corners of your lips curve up, and you slowly walk up to him, a pair of amorous eyes staring straight at the other party.

"Little Brother, this one wants to sit here, is that okay?"

The youth's face turns flush red in an instant, and he stammers incoherently:

"Good... good... sit in my place, no no no! I'll let you sit here..."

As he speaks, the youth stands up with a sudden "thump" and flees in panic.

"Hehe~"

You let out a low chuckle, then flick your sleeve and sit down. This place has a broad view, which is just to your liking.

"Many thanks, Little Brother~"

"Thud~!"

The suave youth decisively falls flat on his face.

Seeing this, you lower your head to glance at this increasingly enchanting body, and let out a helpless, light sigh:

"Ai~ This lord is truly getting cuter and cuter."

Zhou Xiaonuan by your side simply hugs your arm tightly in silence, her round eyes scanning the surroundings alertly, looking very much like a kitten guarding its food.

Despite going through a round of screening, the first half of the matches remains uninteresting.

Until...

"Next match, Jiang Jibai versus Consort Yue!"

Your eyes, which were about to close, snap open, your gaze locked tightly onto that white figure in the arena.

Looking at the familiar dignified posture of the other party, you do not use your divine sense, but instead quietly lower your gaze to look away, scanning around the crowd at the edge of the arena.

Until you find the location of the Tingxue Cliff disciples and finally see that familiar figure.

Dantai Yanya!

The other party's temperament is completely different from when you first met; she lacks her original liveliness and agility, and instead is very close to the cold and aloof temperament of Master Wangyue.

Dantai Yanya's countermeasure failed?

You don't dare to look too much, withdrawing your gaze after a hurried glance.

What you don't know is that the moment your gaze falls upon her, they already notice it.

"Eh? It's that pretty big sister, she's actually here too."

"You know her?"

"Mn... Before scheming against you, I saw her in Jiushuang Plain."

Hearing the word 'scheming', Dantai Yanya's face twists for a split second, before changing back to that curious expression a moment later.

If you could see this scene, you would definitely be able to deduce a few clues.

Neither of them gained any advantage in that soul possession, which is why this strange state of two souls in one body was formed.

"This seat will successfully possess this body of yours sooner or later!"

Listening to the exasperated roar in her mind, Dantai Yanya shrugs nonchalantly.

"Then it depends on whether Consort Yue breaks through to the Deity Transformation realm first, or I break through to Deity Transformation first~"

"You wait for this seat, this seat will sooner or later..."

"Shut up, you. I'm going to find the pretty big sister. Hurry up, hand over control of the body, or don't blame me for being unpolite."

Dantai Yanya's voice suddenly turns cold, her tone unexpectedly carrying a hint of unquestionable overbearingness.

Strangely enough, that proud Moon Goddess does not retort, obviously restricted by some means.

Sensing that control of the body has returned, Dantai Yanya smiles slightly, looking with satisfaction at this even more handsome male attire—this is clothing that both she and the Moon Goddess fancy.

Just as you lower your head in deep thought, that familiar opening line rings in your ears once more.

"This young lady, have we met somewhere before?"
