171: Chapter 171 "A Friend's Wife Shouldn't Be Taken?" A Honey Trap!

"You... bitch, bitch..."

Bai Ankang stared with wide eyes, unable to rest in peace; until his death, he never imagined his own Dao Companion would deliver the final blow.

Xu Xiu's hand on Bai Ankang's chest trembled imperceptibly, but only for a moment.

She glared fiercely at Bai Ankang's corpse, as if wishing she could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

She gave a tragic laugh and slumped to the ground in a mess, her Youyou gaze falling upon Bai Ji's corpse, which was being held by Yin Qiu.

Two lines of clear tears wound down from the corners of her eyes.

"Bai Ankang, oh Bai Ankang. All these years, Jier looked up to you as his own father. How could you have the heart, how could you..."

"Hahaha..."

"You didn't expect it, did you? You wanted to swap Shaoer into Jier's body, but in the end, you killed your own biological son!"

"You deserve it!"

Luo Yunkai's eyes fell on the woman's back as she vented her emotions, his expression unreadable.

Xu Xiu seemed unaware; she stumbled to her feet but collapsed just a step away from Bai Ji's body.

It was as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She reached out a trembling hand, only managing to grasp a corner of Bai Ji's blood-stained robe.

"My Jier, my Jier! Mother shouldn't have believed him. How could Mother have believed his lies? It's all Mother's fault. Mother will change, okay? Come back, Mother only wants you to come back..."

Yin Qiu looked over blankly. Her lips moved slightly, but her once lively and nimble voice was gone, replaced by a rasp so hoarse she sounded like an old woman about to enter the grave.

"Auntie, was Brother Bai Ji killed by Uncle?"

Xu Xiu closed her eyes in pain, murmuring to herself, "I thought I had convinced him, that he had given up on that ridiculous notion."

"Jier even went to participate in the Righteous and Demonic Grand Competition. He cared for Shaoer the most; there is no way he would let Shaoer take such a risk. He definitely couldn't have been thinking about swapping the two children's bodies anymore. I..."

Xu Xiu wept bitterly. "It's all my fault, all my fault..."

"Then are you willing to make amends?" Luo Yunkai's Youyou voice sounded behind Xu Xiu.

Xu Xiu stiffened. She slowly turned her neck and lifted her chin, meeting Luo Yunkai's condescending gaze.

Her body couldn't stop trembling. The unfathomable depth in Luo Yunkai's eyes made her feel danger and fear.

"Luo... Brother Luo?" Xu Xiu showed just the right amount of shock, followed by shame, as she messily looked away.

Shi Kui poked Luo Yunkai's lower back hard with her finger.

"Attracting bees and butterflies!"

Luo Yunkai felt extremely wronged.

No matter how indiscriminate his tastes were, he knew that a friend's wife was off-limits.

He had absolutely no interest in cuckolding others!

Back then, his involvement with Xu Xiu happened six months after he and Su Xin's mother, Su Ninger, had separated.

At that time, he had already achieved a Breakthrough past the long-obstructed Late Stage Qi Refining threshold. He was a Cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, considered a major Cultivator in the marketplace and holding a place among the Marauding Cultivators.

Bai Ankang was a Marauding Cultivator friend he had traveled with for many years. To celebrate his Breakthrough in cultivation, Bai Ankang had prepared a banquet.

As it turned out, after a round of drinks, through a series of accidents, he slept with the man's Dao Companion.

For this, he apologized to Bai Ankang, paying out all his savings at the time, even giving away his Storage Pouch!

After calming down later, Luo Yunkai realized he had been set up; Bai Ankang and Xu Xiu had played a honey trap on him.

Unfortunately, Bai Ankang disappeared decisively after taking his belongings and never appeared before him again.

Luo Yunkai had eventually forgotten about this debt.

Now, this pair of Dao Companions had actually plotted against his son!

Luo Yunkai's gaze was cold. "I'm asking you, are you willing to make amends for your mistakes?"

A blush crept onto Xu Xiu's face, thinking that the "amends" Luo Yunkai spoke of was that kind of way.

She felt smug in her heart. She raised her eyes bashfully and cast a flirtatious glance at Luo Yunkai. For a middle-aged woman to act like a young girl was utterly nauseating.

"Naturally, I am willing."

Luo Yunkai felt like his lower back was about to be poked through by Shi Kui.

Grabbing Shi Kui's restless little hand with a backhand, Luo Yunkai showed Xu Xiu a gentle expression.

"It's good that you're willing."

He clenched his hand, and the three talents soul condensing lamp appeared in his palm.

His gaze fell on Xu Xiu, and five-colored spiritual power floated toward her like the softest silk.

Under Xu Xiu's confused gaze, the five-colored spiritual power instantly wrapped around her neck, tightening bit by bit.

"Kuier, extract the Soul. As a demonic Cultivator, you should know how, right?" Luo Yunkai pulled Shi Kui in front of him.

Xu Xiu's pupils shrank suddenly, the bashfulness in her eyes completely vanishing, replaced only by panic and dread.

Shi Kui happily shook off Luo Yunkai's hand and flew in front of Xu Xiu. "Leave it to me!"

Her chubby little hand swept in front of Xu Xiu, and something so faint it was nearly transparent was pulled out of Xu Xiu's body.

As more was pulled out, everyone could see clearly that it was Xu Xiu's struggling Soul.

Xu Xiu's Soul body was extracted entirely. It looked as if a gust of wind could blow it away, drifting without a Foundation.

"Bring it here," Luo Yunkai's cold voice came.

Xu Xiu felt herself approaching Luo Yunkai's... strangely shaped lamp, completely unable to resist.

Fear stemming from her Soul's Origin made her struggle frantically. "Brother Luo, boohoo, I was wrong, Brother Luo! I shouldn't have plotted with Bai Ankang against your Opportunity, shouldn't have plotted against our son! Let me go, I can bear you another son, I'm willing to bear one for you, Brother Luo..."

"Opportunity?" Luo Yunkai was only slightly dazed for a moment before it dawned on him, and he couldn't help but sneer.

"So, it really was you two Dao Companions plotting against me back then. Seeing me Breakthrough to the Late Stage of Qi Refining, you thought I'd obtained some Opportunity, huh..."

However, Bai Ankang and his Dao Companion weren't entirely wrong.

He indeed had obtained an Opportunity to Breakthrough.

But the Opportunity wasn't what they thought; it was Su Ninger.

Luo Yunkai's gaze grew increasingly cold.

Everyone present, except for Shi Kui, couldn't help but shiver.

"Xiao Feng."

Chu Feng immediately released the blood river.

True Monarch Qingyun and True Monarch Changhong's pupils shrank, and they flew up to avoid the blood river that rippled with an ominous aura.

True Monarch Changhong wanted to pull his daughter out, but he saw the blood river bypass Yin Qiu directly, leaving a patch of pure land in the center of the crimson river.

Chu Feng sent two blood soul shadows to Luo Yunkai.

One was Luo Yunkai's, and the other was Bai Ji's.

Chu Feng didn't know what his father was going to do. He looked at the mindless blood soul shadow that belonged to Bai Ji, his eyes downcast.

Luo Yunkai had Shi Kui control Xu Xiu's Soul, placing it in a triangular formation with the two blood soul shadows.

Then, he used spiritual power to activate the three talents soul condensing lamp, placing it between the three Soul bodies.

The Three Talents refer to Heaven, Earth, and Man. By gathering the Three Talents, one obtains the Origin!

This was the inspiration Luo Yunkai gained from the Primeval Innate Magic Treasure, the Three Elements Lamp, which gathered the Three Talents of Heaven, Earth, and Man to obtain Divine Flame.

The Divine Flame within was changed to Soul Origin!

Bai Ji's death was too complete; his Soul had long been exhausted, and in a true sense, he was no longer in this world.

Fortunately, the three talents soul condensing lamp—links Karma, crosses time and space, and condenses old Souls!
