285: Chapter 285 Do Today's Work Today

Tianyuan Floating Island, Tribulation Platform.

High above in the clouds, tribulation clouds churned, and lightning struck down.

Xia Yingying stepped upon the Pure World Lotus Throne, her entire body enveloped by a soft cyan light barrier. The lotus petals spun gently, dissolving and absorbing the violent lightning bolts layer by layer.

She chanted incantations, casting the "Spirit Borrowing Technique,"

Graceful water spirits condensed from the void of water vapor, circling her to form a nimble water screen; mountain spirits rose as phantoms from the depths of the earth, providing her with rock-like protection; dainty flower fairies scattered specks of fluorescent light, bringing vitality and blessings...

Various natural spirits resonated and gathered around her, imbuing her with vast natural power to help her face the might of the heavens directly.

The lotus sword unsheathed, Sword Qi like rain, surging upwards to slash through the bolts of lightning.

No matter how violent the tribulation lightning was, it could not truly harm her in the slightest.

The tribulation lightning gradually ceased, auspicious clouds gathered, and sweet rain fell from the sky. Bathed within it, Xia Yingying's aura climbed steadily, finally settling firmly at the third level of the Soul Transformation Stage.

Her small face was flushed with excitement. Too impatient to stabilize her cultivation, she turned into a streak of light and rushed toward Ling Hao, who stood with his hands behind his back atop Haoran Tower on the Tianyuan Floating Island below.

"Revered Master! Revered Master!" She landed lightly, grabbed Ling Hao's sleeve, and looked up with her small face, her almond-shaped eyes full of urgency and anticipation.

"Yingying is already in the Soul Transformation Stage! Is it okay now? Can you help Sister Xinxi reshape her Physical Body?"

Ling Hao looked at her leaping, joyful appearance and nodded with a smile.

...

Houde Peak, Chaos Azure Lotus Pool.

The pool water was suffused with the aura of the beginning of Chaos, and jade lotuses bloomed in silence. Xia Yingying sat cross-legged, while Ling Hao stood before her, pointing a finger at her forehead.

"Yingying, both you and your Sister Xinxi should start circulating the 'Twin Soul Metamorphosis Scripture.' I am about to begin."

"Mm!"

As the two entered their state, Ling Hao's expression turned solemn, his Mahayana Stage magic power probing into the depths of Xia Yingying's Sea of Consciousness.

Suddenly, a brilliant light burst from the center of Xia Yingying's brows, and two entangled Primordial Spirit phantoms were forcibly projected.

This was the symbiotic state in which Xia Yingying and Yue Xinxi were entangled. As Xia Yingying advanced to the Soul Transformation Stage, the repulsion of their Origins between the two Primordial Spirits also began to manifest.

At this moment, this top-tier Cultivation Technique, created specifically to separate symbiotic Souls, began to search for the points of repulsion under the impetus of Ling Hao's vast magic power. Using the repulsion of the Primordial Spirits as a guide and Ling Hao's magic power as a blade, it slowly peeled apart the two tightly entwined Primordial Spirits, bit by bit.

Xia Yingying's small face turned pale, and she bit her lower lip, enduring the excruciating pain of her Primordial Spirit being peeled away.

"It is done!"

Following a soft chime from the depths of the Soul, a slightly illusory Primordial Spirit phantom was successfully drawn out from the center of Xia Yingying's brows, slowly drifting toward the top of the jade lotus pool.

The jade lotuses in the pool sensed this, their petals stretching and roots entwining. Amidst the flowing radiance, a Physical Body perfectly compatible with the Primordial Spirit began to reshape rapidly. The process was similar to that of Hall Master Di Yunling, likewise sculpted inch by inch from feet to head, white and lustrous as jade, with graceful curves.

The difference was that when the radiance faded, the newborn Yue Xinxi stood barefoot on the water. Feeling the gaze of Ling Hao and Xia Yingying, she was immediately flushed with shame, hurriedly using her arms to cover herself up and down, and said anxiously: "Yingying! Quick! Give me some clothes!"

Ling Hao, however, raised a hand to stop Xia Yingying's movement, looking up and down at this delicate body.

Her features were exquisite, with a hint of coldness and stubbornness between her brows. Three thousand strands of black hair cascaded like a waterfall, hanging down her smooth back, making her skin appear all the more like snow.

Her chest... her chest... was flat? But her slender waist, straight legs, and the jade-like feet that curled slightly due to shyness still displayed a breathtaking allure.

Ling Hao raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing. "We've done this so many times, we're like an old married couple, what is there to be shy about?"

"Who is an old married couple with you! I... I..." Yue Xinxi's pretty face flushed red, filled with shame and anger. "I... I have never done it with you..."

Her voice grew softer and softer, carrying a hint of awkwardness. "...At least, not with this body..."

Heh! So tsundere, are we! Ling Hao's hearing was incredibly sharp, so he naturally heard it clearly. His gaze landed pointedly on her chest, and he clicked his tongue, shaking his head. "Sigh, so flat in the front, it's truly a pity for such a good figure."

"You! You aren't allowed to say any more!" Yue Xinxi was both shy and angry.

"You are flat-chested." Ling Hao continued to poke at the sore spot.

"Aren't your fourth disciple and Yingying the same?" Yue Xinxi tried to counterattack, dragging others down with her.

"You are also flat-chested."

"You..."

"You are still flat-chested."

"Ahhhhhh!"

Yue Xinxi completely lost it. Her hands tried desperately to cover herself but she couldn't cover everything. Being watched by Ling Hao's burning gaze made her feel completely uncomfortable. She looked for help to Xia Yingying, who was watching the show on the side. "Yingying! Give me a set of clothes! Don't just stand there!"

Ling Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Can't you just turn around?"

Yue Xinxi only then realized, turning around abruptly like a startled rabbit, leaving only a back with exquisite curves.

"Hmm," Ling Hao's gaze landed unceremoniously on her firm, perky buttocks, commenting: "The bottom is not bad either, firm and well-shaped..."

Yue Xinxi was mortified with shame and anger, turning back sharply to scold him, but found that Ling Hao had already stepped in front of her, his tall figure carrying a strong sense of oppression.

"You... what do you want to do?!" She took a step back in fright.

Ling Hao grabbed her slender waist, pulling her back, and smiled wickedly. "What clothes do you need? You'll have to take them off later anyway, what a hassle!"

As he spoke, he half-carried, half-supported her toward the viewing pavilion not far from the pool.

"Let me go! Let go!" Yue Xinxi struggled with all her might, her pretty face flushed red. "I... I haven't prepared myself yet!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Hao paused. Looking at the person in his arms, who was clearly resisting yet implicitly expectant, he suddenly let go, his tone becoming serious. "Fine, I respect your opinion."

Taken by surprise, Yue Xinxi stumbled and steadied herself, looking at him in astonishment. In her heart, she was actually... not unwilling, but this sudden progress made her somewhat flustered. She had wanted to be reserved, to push and pull a few times...

Seeing Yue Xinxi suddenly stunned, the seriousness on Ling Hao's face instantly vanished, and he smiled evilly: "However... my other self doesn't agree. Although a forced melon isn't sweet..."

Ling Hao leaned down to her ear, "...but it quenches thirst! After all, I am no gentleman who can sit in a woman's lap without losing control." Hehehe...

"Yingying, come over and help me..." Yingying, on the side, just watched. "Sister Xinxi, I remember you told Yingying before that you don't dislike being with Revered Master either..."

"Ahhh... damn it!..." "Boom!!" A clap of thunder sounded. Outside the pavilion, drizzle had begun to fall from the sky at some unknown point. The raindrops fell, hitting the broad lotus leaves outside the pavilion, making a "rustling" sound, continuous and endless, like a natural sound barrier, cleverly covering up certain faint, delicate whimpers inside the pavilion.

...

"Yingying, come over and help me..." The same call, yet issued for the second time in a different situation. Xia Yingying, on the side, was already watching with a flushed face, and upon hearing this, she subconsciously replied: "Okay..."

"Ahhh... damn it!..." This seemed to be said to Yingying, and also seemed to be said to Ling Hao.

Ling Hao looked at her appearance of feigned resistance, and could not bear to tease her too much further. He temporarily released his grip on her legs and threatened with a smile: "You curse again? If you curse again, I'll hang you up and tie you to the pavilion to fly like a swing!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Xinxi's body stiffened, and she wisely shut her mouth, though her beautiful eyes were misty, glaring at him with shame and annoyance.

The heavy rain poured down. After a long while, the rain gradually ceased. Yue Xinxi put on the dress that Xia Yingying handed her. It was an elegant light green ru-skirt with an open front, with clusters of ink bamboo embroidered on the hem, making her figure appear even more slender and upright. The coldness between her brows seemed to have softened a bit, though the blush on her cheeks had not yet faded.

Ling Hao crossed his arms over his chest, his gaze sweeping over Xia Yingying and Yue Xinxi, who stood side by side with vastly different temperaments yet inexplicably harmonious. He nodded with satisfaction. Must say, these two standing together—one obedient and compliant, the other feigning resistance—cough, no, one pure and lively, the other cold and stubborn—were actually... quite a good match.

[Ding! Detected that Yue Xinxi's loyalty has reached 100%, and she possesses an independent Physical Body, completing the Heaven-Defying Fate Change! Calamity Body has evolved into Myriad Calamity Tribulation Body!]

[Name: Yue Xinxi] [Age: 2563] [Spiritual Root: Dark Spiritual Root (Heaven Grade)] [Physique: Myriad Calamity Tribulation Body] [Cultivation: Body Integration Fifth Level] [Loyalty: 100]

Myriad Calamity Tribulation Body: Not passively enduring bad luck, but can actively attract, accommodate, control, and release all kinds of calamity Qi in the world.

Damn! Awesome! Ling Hao looked at the System description, his heart shaking violently.

Does this not mean... this girl is now a walking natural disaster generator? Wherever she goes, people can get unlucky? No, she can actively make people unlucky, and even control the form and scale of the calamity?

He subconsciously looked at Yue Xinxi. At this moment, she was keeping a straight face, quietly "lecturing" Xia Yingying, who was giggling. "...How could you help him just now? You girl, your elbows are always turning outward..." "But Revered Master is not an outsider..." "..."

Ling Hao, on the side, muttered to himself, wondering if she herself had realized the terrifying change in this Physique? If she knew... thinking of the things he had done to her before, and the "in-depth communication" in the pavilion just now... this girl might just trigger a natural disaster on the spot and give him something harsh?

He shook his head, casting this thought aside. Forget it, today's business finished today, tomorrow's business finished tomorrow. Future things, let's talk about them in the future!
