640: Soul Controlling Technique

After a long while, the two slowly separated, Purple Spirit Goddess's eyes were hazy, and the blush on her face spread to her earlobes, like Peach Blossoms blooming on a spring branch.

She panted slightly, her voice as soft as a spring breeze: “Idiot, you… how could you be so reckless.” Although she said this, her eyes were filled with shyness and affection.

It was clear that for the first time, she had been hit a little hard.

Chen Xuan gazed at Purple Spirit Goddess, gently cupping her face in his hands as if holding the most precious treasure in the world, his voice slightly trembling but incredibly firm:

“Zi'er, from the first time I saw you, my heart was in turmoil. In the future, Zi'er and I will go through thick and thin together; she is already an indispensable part of my life. And now, you make my heart pound even more.

So, how can I watch you fall into danger because of a predetermined future? I swear, I will change all of this. I want you to be safe and sound, and I want to be with you for a lifetime.”

Purple Spirit Goddess's eyes reddened slightly, and she bit her lower lip gently. She raised her hand to lightly caress Chen Xuan's cheek, her fingertips tracing his outline:

“This concubine will listen to her husband! This concubine doesn't care what the future holds; right now, this concubine just wants to be with her husband. What's death or not, this concubine can't bear to die!”

Chen Xuan held Purple Spirit Goddess tightly in his embrace, as if wanting to melt her into his very bones.

From this woman's actions of killing those who slandered him and chasing Yu Guili and others, it was clear that she had long been deeply in love with him, although it was highly likely due to Zi'er's influence.

As for taking him away, it was entirely her tsundere nature acting up. Coming here, everything she made him do was…

Anyway, it was somewhat different from Yu Qingcheng. Yu Qingcheng had a somewhat distant feeling due to the toxic author, so under his guidance, she had returned to normal.

Of course, Yu Qingcheng still needed special attention. Unless something unexpected happened, Chen Xuan would never let her leave his side.

…

In the poetic seven days that followed, Chen Xuan and Purple Spirit Goddess immersed themselves in the sweetness of their two-person world.

They would either stroll hand in hand along misty mountain paths at dawn, feeling the coolness of the morning dew; or sit side by side on a stone bench in the courtyard on a moonlit night, admiring the myriad stars.

Of course, most of their time was spent in the palace.

Everywhere, there were indelible traces of the two of them.

Every day, Purple Spirit Goddess gained a deeper appreciation for Chen Xuan's extraordinary qualities, which made her fall even more in love with him.

“Husband, let this concubine bear you a Qilin son. This concubine knows your abilities, husband,” Purple Spirit Goddess suddenly said one day.

Chen Xuan looked at Purple Spirit Goddess but said nothing.

“A child… is this concubine's continuation!” Purple Spirit Goddess blinked her watery purple eyes, pleading softly.

“Alas!” Faced with such a powerful plea, Chen Xuan could only give her a hopeful look.

As for letting Zi'er inherit Purple Spirit Goddess's memories and cultivation, Chen Xuan had never considered it.

Because in his opinion, the future Zi'er, even if she had the same face as Purple Spirit Goddess, the same Origin, and everything else the same, she would still not be Purple Spirit Goddess.

Chen Zier was a brand new life, with her own Soul and will. Forcing Purple Spirit Goddess's past upon her, making her bear things that didn't belong to her, Chen Xuan could not do such a thing.

Even if Chen Zier was willing, Chen Xuan would not be willing.

So… life truly is only once. Even if one enters Reincarnation, they will no longer be their current self.

Of course, Chen Xuan, who possessed the immortal characteristic, was an exception; he would be resurrected, not reincarnated.

“Wait… immortal characteristic?” Chen Xuan suddenly realized the key point.

“What is it, husband?”

“Zi'er, what is your true form? Violet? Purple Light? Purple Haze? Or are you just a Human Race member?”

“Why would husband ask this concubine that?” Purple Spirit Goddess's face was flushed.

“This is very important to me, very, very important!”

“This concubine's Origin is the first wisp of purple Qi in this Immortal Realm, born of heaven and earth, an Innate Spirit!”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's brows instantly furrowed tightly, countless thoughts flashing through his mind like lightning.

“System, can the Beast Controlling Soul Transformation Art absorb Innate Spirits like Purple Spirit Goddess?”

“Ding, with the current capability of the Beast Controlling Soul Transformation Art, you'll need to pay more.”

“Damn it, you profiteer, you're sure I'll pay more now, aren't you? Tell me, how much?”

“Ding, it requires 1,000,000 Heaven's Mandate Value.”

“What? What is this so expensive? Isn't it just a Cultivation Technique enhancement? It's worth a Luck Child?”

“Ding, Host, do not complain about the price; this is far beyond ordinary Cultivation Technique enhancement.”

“For example?”

“Ding, in the Primordial Era, there was an Innate Spirit named Candle Dragon. Its opening eyes brought day, closing eyes brought night, exhaling brought winter, inhaling brought summer. Its body spanned heaven and earth, capable of manipulating the power of time and space…”

“Stop! Stop, stop, stop!”

“What level am I at that you're bringing up the Candle Dragon? So, according to you, Pangu and the Chaos Green Lotus are also Innate Spirits, but now I can't even get a drop of the great god's blood!”

“Ding, yes, if the Host wishes to absorb more powerful Innate Spirits, more Heaven's Mandate Value will be required!”

“…”

“Fine, you're a bottomless pit!”

“Ding, does the Host wish to proceed with the enhancement? As an Innate Spirit, although Purple Spirit Goddess's Heaven-Defying abilities are not entirely equivalent to the Candle Dragon's, she contains the pure, initial power of this Immortal Realm, which can also bring unimaginable transformation to your Cultivation Technique.”

“Can I still say no?” Chen Xuan gritted his teeth.

“Exchange it for me!”

“Ding, Beast Controlling Soul Transformation Art has been upgraded… Spirit Controlling Soul Transformation Art! The Host has automatically learned it! Welcome next time!”

“Go away, go away, go away!”

“Ding, friendly reminder: with the Host's current cultivation, facing Purple Spirit Goddess, who is an Immortal Emperor, attempting to absorb her powerful strength is undoubtedly like an ant trying to shake a tree; you simply cannot withstand it.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded.

As long as there was a method, it was fine.

After all, he had been with Yu Qingcheng before, and now he was with Purple Spirit Goddess. Under the blessing of two Immortal Emperor-level figures, his cultivation had increased rapidly, having just touched the Peak of the Golden Immortal Realm.

“Husband, what exactly is wrong? Is it my identity as a purple Qi that doesn't suit you…” Seeing Chen Xuan remain silent for a long time, Purple Spirit Goddess grew a little anxious.

“What are you thinking? If you keep thinking nonsense, see how I punish you! Take this!”

“Yin~”

On the other side, within Luo Menglan's space, a strange ripple appeared in the Void Realm, followed by the disheveled figures of Yu Guili and Lin Feng tumbling out, falling heavily to the ground.

After wandering in the Void Realm for so long, they had finally returned.

Yu Guili's hair was disheveled, his clothes ragged, and a trace of un-dried blood still hung at the corner of his mouth. Lin Feng was no better; his right arm hung limply, clearly dislocated, and his face was full of exhaustion.

“What happened to you two? Where is Chen Xuan? Why don't I see him?” A cold voice echoed in the space.

Luo Menglan appeared, dressed in a moon-white robe, her sleeves fluttering, like a Fairy descending to the world.
