251: Collect a witch as a pet

Zi Han's voice carried a lazy seduction, and her purple eyes were captivating. Her jade feet lightly tapped the air, as if stepping on invisible stairs, slowly approaching Huang Chen's clone.

"A new identity?"

Huang Chen's clone remained vigilant, forcefully suppressing the agitation caused by her proximity. The cooling sensation from the goddess record acted like ice needles, constantly stimulating him to stay sober. "What do you mean? What kind of identity is needed in the Star Abyss?"

"Hehehe..."

Zi Han let out a string of bell-like laughter, as if she had heard something amusing. "Little brother, you don't actually think that I, your elder sister, can just swagger around the Star Abyss or even the Hongmeng Universe with the identity of an Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon, do you? I need a 'legitimate' identity, one that allows me to avoid those annoying gazes."

After speaking, Zi Han looked up at the deep sky of the Star Abyss, a hint of apprehension showing in her eyes.

She stopped in front of Huang Chen's clone.

"And you..." Zi Han's eyes became deep and playful. "Although I don't know what relationship you have with the Monkey, my father told me to come here, where there is a clan that shares the same origin as him, and that can give me a new identity... I suppose my father must have been talking about you."

"Furthermore... I smell the same soul aura on you as I do on my father."

After speaking, Zi Han closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and a look of remembrance appeared on her face.

The distance between the two was now quite close. A captivating fragrance emanated from Zi Han, making Huang Chen constantly tempted to indulge in it.

If it weren't for the constant stimulation from the goddess record, he probably would have lost control of his mind by now.

Shivering once more under the goddess record's stimulus, Huang Chen slowly retreated a few steps, stating with a solemn expression, "Stop that seductive act. If you continue like this, there's nothing for us to discuss."

"Hehehe~ Fine!"

Zi Han covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. "I thought you were like the Monkey, a blockhead."

Having said that, Zi Han immediately reverted to the cold demeanor she had when they first met.

Huang Chen secretly sighed in relief. The opponent's seductive ability was truly sinister; it could affect his main body even through his clone. If he didn't have the System, he would have long since fallen for her.

"What should I do?" Since things had come to this, Huang Chen could only agree for now. Regardless of whether she could find him as she claimed, he didn't want to gamble.

"Let me join your clan and stay by your side. It's that simple," Zi Han said.

"You want me to be a Hong Traitor?" Huang Chen's main body, located in Jinling City, gasped. You, an Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon, joining our clan? That's simple?

Although he wasn't entirely sure what this implied, the information gathered since the Star Abyss descended showed that the Hongmeng Universe and other universes were absolutely irreconcilable enemies. Furthermore, the term Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon sounded even more terrifying than the foreign races from other universes.

This... this is too dangerous! A sealed, unfathomably powerful demoness hidden by his side?

This was like holding a bomb that could explode at any moment, potentially plunging the entire Huaxia Clan into eternal perdition.

"Don't make it sound so awful. I originally possess the bloodline of the Hongmeng Universe; it's just that those old fogeys won't acknowledge me." Zi Han seemed to read Huang Chen's mind and gave the clone a charming smile. "Our relationship is one where we both benefit if we cooperate, but if we separate, I will bring about your death. You... have no choice!"

"Can... can I refuse?" Huang Chen asked weakly.

"Do you dare?" Zi Han's eyes instantly turned cold again, but then softened as she continued to tempt him: "All Universe Heavenly Daos are incomplete, and the Hongmeng Universe is no exception. Back then, my father and my mother combined forces, hoping to see if they could complete their own Heavenly Dao through the complementarity of the two universes. However, I only inherited my father's Water Attribute and my mother's Succubus Spirit separately, which is far from enough to complete the Heavenly Dao."

"However... I see that you are naturally complete in the Five Elements. If you can supplement the soul aspect, you might truly be able to forge your own Great Dao."

"At that time, you would be invincible across the universe. Are you... truly not tempted?"

Huang Chen rolled his eyes helplessly. The 'cake' the demoness was drawing was indeed large enough, but he feared he wouldn't be blessed enough to enjoy it.

"If someone discovers your identity as an Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon later on, what impact will that have on us?" Huang Chen asked again.

"Hehehe!" Zi Han laughed for a while, then took a breath before coldly stating, "Then you and your clan should prepare for a great escape with me. From now on, you'll be rootless duckweed, wandering the endless cosmos until death..."

After hearing Zi Han's words, Huang Chen remained silent for a long time.

He was now in a dilemma. What the demoness said might be true—besides the Soul Devouring Bees, there was no method for improving the soul in the Star Abyss.

He had indeed benefited from the soul enhancement.

However, opportunity also represented danger, and the key was that he had no choice.

If he could defeat her, he would definitely pick up the demon slayer and use it on her.

"Forget it, I'll agree first and figure things out as I go," Huang Chen thought to himself. He then said to Zi Han, "Alright, I agree."

"Hehe! A smart choice. However, I cannot leave this valley directly right now. If those people smell my aura, it will be very troublesome." Zi Han paused and said, "Therefore, have your main body come over now and receive me into your pet space first..."

Huang Chen felt that the demoness was trying to trick his main body into coming over, but he had no proof, so the clone just stood there, looking at her suspiciously.

Zi Han seemed to see through Huang Chen's thoughts and simply smiled faintly. "To show my sincerity, I need you to feel something first."

Having spoken, she formed complicated hand seals. A few seconds later, she waved her hand, and a black light seemed to cross the distance of space and time, directly impacting Huang Chen's soul.

"Ah~"

Huang Chen, who was in Jinling City, suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, clutching his head and rolling around. However, after just two seconds, the feeling of his soul being ripped apart receded like a tide.

"What the hell did you do to me?" Huang Chen and his clone spoke simultaneously, glaring at Zi Han.

"Nothing much, just placing the simplest Binding Spell on you. My old man used to discipline the Monkey this way. As long as things are good between us, you can pretend this thing doesn't exist," Zi Han said with a smile.

"I'll fuck your..." Huang Chen almost cursed out loud.

"If you're not afraid of being drained dry, you're welcome to come someday..."

Having no alternative, Huang Chen's main body could only teleport to the valley. That feeling of soul tearing was a hundred times more painful than being stung by a Soul Devouring Bee, and he didn't know when she had tampered with him.

Seeing Huang Chen arrive, Zi Han flew directly in front of him, glanced at him, and said, "You've already used two of your three pet spaces; only one remains."

"What do I need to do?" Huang Chen asked.

"Just stay still." After Zi Han finished speaking, she formed a series of hand seals again. Then, she placed one hand on her own forehead and the other on Huang Chen's forehead. Immediately, an ancient image appeared beneath their feet. Huang Chen looked closely and saw that it was actually a Tai Chi Yin-Yang Symbol from Huaguo... At this moment, a System prompt also appeared in Huang Chen's mind.
