144: There is another person hidden inside Yan Qingqing.

Upon hearing Li Yan wanted to examine her, Yan Qingqing’s heart fluttered, and her breathing quickened.

She could only brace herself and lead Li Yan to a side room within the Blood Servant Sect.

Yan Qingqing lightly bit her tender lips, her mind wandering throughout the journey, completely preoccupied with what was about to happen.

Is the Saint about to begin?

She hadn't expected the Saint, who seemed so indifferent to her on the surface, to be so direct.

Li Yan’s previous aloof demeanor had led Yan Qingqing to mistakenly believe he was a Saint who wasn't interested in women.

But who would have thought that this Saint would turn around and actually ask to see her body? This...

The Saint, who was so high and mighty in her heart, was actually this kind of person!

After Li Yan entered the room, he said directly, “What are you still standing there for? Come here.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingqing felt incredibly conflicted, even a little disappointed.

Raised by her father like a precious treasure within the Sect since childhood, Yan Qingqing had always lived in a garden in the back mountain.

She was inexperienced and had not interacted with many outsiders.

Aside from Cultivating the Blood Law, her only hobby was reading folk stories.

Most of these stories were about relationships between men and women, such as unfaithful Cultivators abandoning their Dao Companions, or female Cultivators rising to power after thirty years of hardship.

Or perhaps pure and beautiful cultivation Dao Companions, like immortal couples, accompanying each other, experiencing countless ups and downs, and finally achieving Immortal Ascension together.

Perhaps influenced by these stories, Yan Qingqing always looked down on the rough men who came to propose marriage.

She also wanted to find a lifelong companion, just like in the stories.

She had thought Li Yan was her destined one, but she never expected...

Never expected...

Are all men really the same, appearing as Saints in public but secretly thinking only of such things?

Yan Qingqing sighed, as if she had made some kind of decision.

She had no better choice now; even if Li Yan was a beast in human clothing, at least he was a handsome beast.

Should she humble herself to him? It seemed she had no other option.

Just as Yan Qingqing made up her mind and began to untie her belt and remove her gauze dress...

Li Yan, who was behind her, said, “Qingqing, are you hot?”

Huh!?

Yan Qingqing was startled at first, then replied blankly, “Hot? Replying to Saint, this humble girl... I am not hot.”

“Then why are you taking off your outer clothes?”

Li Yan’s face was full of confusion, his eyes showing a hint of bewilderment.

Yan Qingqing stammered in response, “Saint, didn’t you say you wanted to see my body?”

“See? You and I are both Cultivators. If I want to examine your Qi Sea, why would you need to take off your clothes?”

“You girl, what are you thinking in your head?”

Li Yan’s tone carried the reproach of an elder scolding a junior, causing Yan Qingqing’s face to instantly turn red.

“I! I!! I... I was just...”

Extremely embarrassed, Yan Qingqing suddenly turned around.

Her entire body’s Qi surged, her temperature rose, and she began to emit hot steam.

It’s over, it’s over!

The Saint originally wanted to see her Qi Sea, to examine her Aptitude and cultivation talent!

Yan Qingqing, oh Yan Qingqing, how could you think of things so dirty?

How could you treat the Saint as those vulgar mountain bumpkins?

At this moment, Yan Qingqing wished she could slap herself; it was too embarrassing.

What on earth was she thinking, to have misunderstood the Saint?

“Saint, I... I...”

Li Yan raised his hand, “Alright, no need to explain. Give me your hand.”

At this moment, Li Yan appeared like a strict Senior on the surface.

But inwardly, he was secretly chuckling, thinking that this love-struck Yan Qingqing was too easy to tease.

In this chaotic era of Blood Law, who would have thought there was such a pure female Cultivator?

One could only say that Yan Poshan protected his daughter too well, which might not be a good thing.

Taking Yan Qingqing’s hand, Li Yan extended his Divine Sense into her body, beginning to check if Yan Qingqing had anything unusual.

Yan Qingqing, whose hand was being held and examined, had a flushed face and a rapidly thumping heart.

Her little mind was thinking about how to explain to the Saint that she wasn't that kind of immodest woman, she...

The more she thought, the more chaotic her mind became, looking at the Saint’s handsome face, and being alone in the room with him, made Yan Qingqing’s mind a mess.

At this moment, Li Yan, after examining Yan Qingqing’s Soul, gradually made a discovery.

“Strange...”

He muttered to himself, “How come there’s something else inside Yan Qingqing’s Soul?”

Continuing to delve deeper into Yan Qingqing’s Soul, Li Yan discovered a sealed Soul space within.

It seemed something was still Sealed within her Soul.

And when Li Yan tried to go deeper, the next moment, his heart trembled.

“It’s her?”

“Within this sealed crevice, there’s a familiar aura.”

“It’s OTsukitsuki!”

At this moment, Li Yan never would have thought that another Soul was Sealed within Yan Qingqing’s Soul.

“Is it a Seal?”

“No, it doesn’t seem to be a Seal; it’s more like a protective and hiding barrier?”

“OTsukitsuki doesn’t want to be discovered, so she’s hiding in Yan Qingqing’s Soul?”

Faced with such an astonishing discovery, Li Yan never dreamed that his disciple from thirty thousand years ago was actually right in front of him.

“But historical records state that OTsukitsuki has already achieved Ascension to the Celestial Realm, so why would her Soul be hidden within Yan Qingqing’s body?”

Too many mysteries left Li Yan bewildered.

Moreover, with his current means, he couldn't open that barrier, nor could he awaken the Moonlit Sword Immortal.

Only then did Li Yan understand why Yan Qingqing looked so much like OTsukitsuki; she was most likely a disguise created by OTsukitsuki!

Upon learning this shocking news, Li Yan felt a little unsettled.

He tried several times to open that Soul barrier and awaken the sleeping Moonlit Sword Immortal within.

However, this barrier was not something a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator like him could open; he tried several times but failed.

Left with no choice, Li Yan could only withdraw his Divine Sense.

When Li Yan opened his eyes, he found that little girl Yan Qingqing was secretly looking at him.

When their eyes met, Yan Qingqing immediately lowered her head guiltily.

For some reason, she loved staring at Li Yan; she naturally felt a sense of closeness to him.

As for the reason? Does it even need to be guessed?

Yan Qingqing is OTsukitsuki’s Clone, left in the mortal world through special means!

After confirming that the young girl in front of him was indeed his disciple from thirty thousand years ago.

Li Yan pondered for a long time, then spoke with a serious expression.

“Qingqing, I need to ask you something.”

Yan Qingqing turned her head, lightly biting her index finger, “Saint, I... I’ve never had a Dao Companion.”

Cough!

Li Yan almost choked on his own saliva; this girl looked like a younger version of OTsukitsuki, but why wasn't she as mature as OTsukitsuki?

He could only compose himself, trying to be as serious as possible: “I’m not asking you about relationships.”

“Then what is it?”

The young girl blinked curiously, her eyes full of curiosity towards Li Yan.

“I want to ask if you feel like there’s another person inside you.”

When he said this, the blushing Yan Qingqing immediately excitedly grabbed Li Yan’s hand.

“Saint, how did you know?!”
