204: Chapter 204 The Arrogant Empress's Sichuan Opera Face-Changing: Good brother, give it to me quickly!

The moment Feng Jiuyou landed, she didn't care about anything else.

She immediately extended her slender finger, pointing at Cao Kun's nose to vent the anger she had suppressed for over half a month.

"You bastard surnamed Cao!"

"Are you even human?!!!"

She was so angry that her chest heaved violently, that spectacular curve making one feel dizzy.

"This Empress finally absorbed the soul nourishing wood, stabilized my soul body, and could finally come out to breathe freely!"

"In the end, you heartless dog, you actually forcibly locked me in the Purple Mansion!"

"You even sealed my senses! You didn't let me hear, didn't let me see!"

"For a full thirteen days!"

"Do you know how I spent these thirteen days?!"

The more Feng Jiuyou spoke, the more aggrieved and indignant she became.

Thinking back to when she ruled over Jiuyou, billions of living beings bowed down in worship.

Who dared to show her the slightest disrespect?

Now, not only had she become someone's soul slave, but she was also locked in a small dark room at every turn.

This was simply too much! This is more than one can bear!

"You must give me an explanation today!"

Feng Jiuyou bared her fangs and brandished her claws, looking as if she wanted to perish together with Cao Kun.

Facing the violent outburst of this ancient Empress,

Cao Kun didn't panic at all. He leaned back leisurely, looking at the huffing Feng Jiuyou with a playful gaze.

"Oh, finished cursing?"

"Get your identity straight."

"You are my soul slave now. I can lock you up for as long as I want. What, do you have an objection?"

"You! You shameless rogue!!"

Seeing his rogue-like appearance, like a dead pig not fearing boiling water, Feng Jiuyou was about to continue her tantrum.

But then she saw an old jade box appear in Cao Kun's palm.

*Click.*

The lid popped open.

A strange lotus flower, entirely grey and white with three crystal-clear petals, lay quietly inside the jade box.

The Spiritual Qi in the entire main room became active at this moment.

"Originally, I had already gathered all the Materials to reconstruct your Physical Body."

"What a pity, someone doesn't seem to appreciate it and has quite the temper."

Cao Kun sighed and shook his head with feigned regret.

"As soon as you come out, you point at my nose and call me a bastard."

"Alas, in this world, it's hard to be a good person; my sincerity was ultimately misplaced."

As he spoke, he made a move to put the jade box back into his Storage Ring.

"This Physical Body, I suppose there's no need to reconstruct it anymore."

"Don't!"

"Don't! Brother Cao... Good Brother!"

What is a top-tier Sichuan Opera face-changing act? This is it!

One second, Feng Jiuyou was glaring coldly with an arrogant air.

The next second, she lunged in front of Cao Kun, her hands tightly clutching the arm holding the jade box.

"Jiuyou was just joking with you! How could Jiuyou curse you? Jiuyou likes Brother the most!"

Cao Kun waved the jade box in front of Feng Jiuyou's eyes, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Stop the nonsense."

"Just say it, do you want it or not!"

Feng Jiuyou looked at Cao Kun eagerly, nodding without any bottom line.

"I want it! I want it!"

"Good Brother, give it to me quickly!"

Cao Kun watched Feng Jiuyou for the sake of reconstructing her Physical Body.

She held his arm, calling him 'Good Brother' one after another.

He felt extremely satisfied in his heart.

Once upon a time, she was that proud Empress who called herself 'This Empress' and others 'ants'.

But now, she was like a little dog wagging its tail for pity.

He lowered his head, wantonly sizing up Feng Jiuyou's soul body.

The figure tightly wrapped under those moon-white palace robes.

Even Nangong Wan, who was known for her 'great ominous omen' chest, was slightly inferior.

Cao Kun really couldn't help himself; he reached out, wanting to give that beautiful face a hard pinch.

As expected, his hand passed right through!

"Tsk." Cao Kun curled his lips in disappointment.

She was beautiful, but unfortunately, she was just a soul body.

For someone like Cao Kun who paid extreme attention to 'user experience', this was simply a waste of a heavenly treasure.

However, this would soon no longer be a problem.

"Alright, stop acting cute here."

Cao Kun stopped teasing her and summoned the all-heavens and myriad-realms demon suppressing tower.

He took Feng Jiuyou's soul body and directly entered the first floor of the tower.

Reconstructing the Physical Body of an ancient Empress was no small matter.

It would certainly take a long time.

Moreover, the Spiritual Qi outside was mixed and could easily attract the backlash of the Heavenly Dao.

Inside the tower, not only would the flow of time be faster, but it would also be free from external interference.

It was an excellent place for reconstruction.

Cao Kun flicked his finger, tossing the old jade box containing the chaos three-life lotus into the air.

"Go!"

Feng Jiuyou didn't dare to delay. With a flash of her body, she dove directly into the center of the lotus seed pod.

It had been tens of thousands of years.

Ever since she met with disaster, her Physical Body was destroyed, and only a wisp of a remnant soul remained to linger on.

She had fallen into an endless slumber.

She had had enough of these days living as a lonely ghost!

Cao Kun held his breath and concentrated, recalling the reconstruction method given by the System.

The nine-cycle soul molding fruit provided the soul Foundation, the ten-thousand-year soul nourishing wood consolidated the Divine Soul, and the chaos three-life lotus was responsible for gestating flesh and Meridians.

All three were indispensable.

Cao Kun sat cross-legged, his expression turning solemn.

A cluster of deep Chaotic Pill Fire rose from his palm.

As the Pill Fire was continuously infused,

The three grey-white petals of the Three-Life Lotus began to close.

Eventually, it turned into a flower bud, completely enveloping Feng Jiuyou's soul body within.

Through the gaps in the petals, a faint crimson bloody light could be seen circulating inside.

That was the flesh and blood condensing into form inch by inch.

Time passed rapidly inside the tower.

Cao Kun maintained the output of the Chaotic Pill Fire throughout the entire process.

The Chaos Unity Art was operated to its limit by him.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi surged into his body continuously, transforming into Chaos Qi, and then into Pill Fire to replenish the consumption.

One year passed.

From within the petals of the Three-Life Lotus, a 'thump, thump' heartbeat sounded.

Though slow, it was full of vigorous vitality.

The second year.

The subtle popping sounds of Meridians connecting were heard incessantly.

That was the sound of Meridians opening up in the flesh and the friction of bones during reconstruction.

Cao Kun kept his eyes closed like a statue, precisely maintaining the output of the Chaotic Pill Fire throughout the process.

The consumption was enormous; even with his current Late Soul Transformation Stage cultivation, fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.

Finally, it reached the third year.

The long-silent flower bud suddenly bloomed.

The three petals curled outward and then dissipated into pure Spiritual Qi.

A flawless, snow-white, top-grade jade body loomed within the stamens.

The skin was like the finest mutton-fat white jade, seemingly breakable by a mere breath.

Peaks stood proudly, legs were long and straight, and three thousand strands of black hair fell to the waist.

At the center of the brow, a crimson flame totem shone brightly, adding a bit of seductiveness and majesty.

Feng Jiuyou's eyes were tightly closed as she hovered in mid-air.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi continuously surged into her body, filling the emptiness of this brand-new Physical Body.

Just then,

The System prompt finally sounded in Cao Kun's mind.

[Ding! Long-term hidden task: Reconstruct the Physical Body for the soul slave Empress Jiuyou is complete!]

[Ding! Soul slave Feng Jiuyou has successfully transformed into a top-grade Jade Beast (Contracted directly, ignoring slot limits)!]

[Initial taming value: 5/100.]

[Reward task points: 500.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the final reward of the hidden task: Legendary Blind Box x1!]

Cao Kun slumped on the ground. Hearing the previous prompts, he was originally grinning quite happily.

Especially the part about contracting directly while ignoring slot limits, which saved him the expansion fee of eighty thousand task points; it was a real conscience-finding moment.

But immediately following that,

When he clearly saw that pitiful '5 points' of taming value on the panel,

Cao Kun's face turned completely black like the bottom of a pot.

He started cursing directly in his heart:

"5 points of taming value?! When that icy female CEO Yun Xiyue was first caught by me, her initial taming value was 5!"

"I've provided this woman with good food and drink, and reconstructed her Physical Body!"

"In the end, you only give me 5 goddamn points of taming value?!"

"Truly an ungrateful white-eyed wolf! Does reconstructing a Physical Body make you that arrogant?"

What made Cao Kun break down even more was that task point reward.

"Five hundred points? Are you treating me like a beggar!"

"I can get more than that just by casually touching Yu Linglong's tail!"

"I spent so many top-tier resources and got five hundred points back. This return on investment is a total loss!"

Cao Kun was cursing and swearing in his heart,

Thinking about how to deal with this ungrateful white-eyed wolf later.

In mid-air, Feng Jiuyou's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes.

Those eyes, which were originally hollow as a soul body, were now full of life.

She lowered her head.

Looking at her fair, delicate fingers that glowed with a warm luster.

Then she touched her own cheek, feeling the real warmth coming from her fingertips.

Everything was so real!

Spiritual power surged in her Meridians like a river, and the magic power in her Dantian was vast and ceaseless.

Although it was still far from her Peak, this Physical Body reconstructed from three divine treasures already possessed the strength of the Peak of Body Integration Stage.

"Physical Body..."

"This Empress... really has a Physical Body now!"

After being a lonely ghost for tens of thousands of years, she finally regained new life.

The corners of Feng Jiuyou's mouth slowly rose, and that arrogant air of looking down on the world reignited in her phoenix eyes.

She put her hands on her hips, looking down at Cao Kun who was sitting on the ground, sneering repeatedly.

"Cao Kun."

Her voice was no longer soft and sweet like before, but had regained the coldness and majesty of an Empress.

"You helped this Empress reconstruct my Physical Body, so this Empress will credit you with a merit."

"However, those humiliations you previously inflicted on this Empress, this Empress has recorded them all in my heart, one by one."

The more Feng Jiuyou spoke, the more excited she became. The frustration suppressed for months completely erupted at this moment.

"The first thing this Empress wants to do now is to remove that Soul Slave Mark you planted!"

"Then, I'll capture you and seal your cultivation!"

"I'll make you this Empress's male toy!"

"Every day you will serve tea, pour water, massage my shoulders, and attend to my feet for this Empress!"

Feng Jiuyou
