How to Bring Common Sense to Xianxia World - Chapter 186: The Fate of The Primordial Yin Devouring Physique
Chapter 186: The Fate of The Primordial Yin Devouring Physique
Hearing the explanation, Wei Chen let out a sigh of relief. It was good to know that nothing harmful would happen to the woman in front of him.
“But, Your Honor, I’m not at the Pseudo Immortal realm. Why is her…” Wei Chen wanted to continue, but the answer came first.
“What I described was the normal case. You, however, are a special case. For her Divine Voidless Body to awaken, the nature of the Primordial Yin Devouring Physique, which absorbs power, must fail to draw anything from her partner.”
“In a normal case, that would require at least the Pseudo Immortal realm to withstand it.”
“But my black hole core is different?” Wei Chen continued.
“Precisely,” the Lord of Death confirmed. “Your black hole core possesses the characteristics of a true black hole. As I mentioned before, techniques that drain power will not affect you. If you master your black hole core, you may even be able to counter-drain others.”
“It must be said that you are quite fortunate,” the Lord of Death added.
“Then… Your Honor, what would happen to her if she succeeded in draining her partner’s power?” Wei Chen asked.
“Then… a grim fate would await her,” the Lord of Death replied in a solemn tone.
“Her Primordial Yin Devouring Physique would transform and awaken into the Primordial Yin Devouring Demon Physique. Her race would change into that of the demon race, and her hunger for power would become endless. She would turn into a succubus-like demon and continue draining power from powerful cultivators. Her growth would skyrocket, and she might even bring devastation and ruin to the lower realm due to her insatiable hunger.”
Hearing this, Wei Chen shuddered at the thought. It was a good thing he had been the first.
“Also… after this, I suggest you come and pick up some study materials regarding special physiques from the Underworld Library, so that this kind of awkward situation does not happen again,” the Lord of Death instructed.
“Err… yes, Your Honor. Thank you.”
With that, the Lord of Death ended the call.
Back in his office, he looked at Youqi, his wife, with a meaningful glint in his eyes. Youqi could not help but lower her head, her face flushed red.
“May I?” The Lord of Death extended his bony hand, pulling Youqi gently to sit on his lap.
Youqi did not speak. She simply nodded obediently.
After that, the atmosphere in the room shifted, and whatever followed took place behind closed doors, unseen.
— Morning – Thousand Treasure Pavilion —
The gentle sunlight streamed in from outside, illuminating the bedroom where the couple had exhausted themselves the night before. Dream Butterfly’s eyes fluttered as she slowly woke.
The first thing she saw was her lord, the man she admired, sleeping soundly beside her. His breathing was steady, with no signs of injury or qi exhaustion.
On the contrary, he even seemed stronger.
Dream Butterfly carefully checked his condition by feeling his pulse. Everything was normal. This made her sigh in relief. It seemed her worst fear had not come true.
With a soft smile, she could not help but praise her lord’s luck. Either his fortune was extraordinary, or he was simply too strong for her cursed physique to harm him.
She then tried to check herself to see if anything was wrong, but the moment she propped herself up, a sharp pain rose from her lower body. She quickly checked beneath the blanket, and a moment later, she could not help but pout with a blush as she pinched Wei Chen’s cheek.
“My lord, you are a bad man…” Dream Butterfly muttered with a slight sulk, though a smile soon followed.
She leaned down and kissed him, intending to head to the kitchen afterward to prepare a meal for him, but—
Two strong hands caught her shoulders.
Wei Chen opened his eyes, a mischievous glint within them, and pulled her back down.
“My lord! Don’t! It’s already morning! Can’t we wait until… ah!”
Their movements resumed, and soft sounds of pleasure filled the room. If not for the sound-sealing barrier Wei Chen had set up, the noise might have disturbed those working on the lower floors.
…
After some time, Dream Butterfly was finally able to leave the bedroom. She could not help but pout at her lord’s mischievousness, but a smile soon returned as she entered the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him.
Strangely, she felt that after the events of the night, her strength, speed, and reflexes had all improved.
Perhaps it was because she had finally obtained what she longed for. There was a saying that love was the most miraculous medicine, and perhaps it was true after all.
After freshening up in the washroom, Wei Chen walked into the dining room and saw several plates of piping hot food placed on the table: fried rice, sweet and sour pork, and a bowl of egg drop soup.
Dream Butterfly was sitting at the table, smiling at him. She carefully arranged the dishes and served a portion of fried rice for her lord.
“My lord, please sit,” Dream Butterfly said, gesturing to the seat opposite her. Her heart felt as if it were floating in the clouds, fluttering with happiness.
Both she and her lord had survived the night, and she even felt much stronger than before. She did not fully understand what had happened, but she believed it must have been because of her lord.
“My lord, I don’t know why, but today I feel much stronger than before. Was it because you shared some of your power with me? I feel a strange energy rising from my body. Is it something like the rumored dual cultivation?” Dream Butterfly asked.
As a courtesan, she had heard of dual cultivation before, but she had never considered it seriously because of her physique.
Wei Chen listened to her question, shook his head, and slowly sat down.
He picked up a pair of chopsticks and began to eat.
“No, it’s not dual cultivation. I don’t know those kinds of techniques,” he said with a light laugh before continuing. “It’s because your physique has awakened.”
“My physique?” Dream Butterfly looked confused.
Wei Chen nodded and began explaining what had truly happened the previous night and why her body had undergone such a transformation.
As he recounted the events over their meal, Dream Butterfly listened attentively. At last, she understood what had truly happened to her.
From her perspective, it was not far from what she had initially thought. Lord Wei’s power had indeed given her a chance at survival, allowing her physique to undergo a great transformation.
Because of his unique cultivation, her cursed physique had been unable to drain anything from him, and she had avoided falling into demonhood.
This realization made her both grateful and uneasy.
If she had not met Lord Wei, and had remained in the Immortal Dream Tower, what would have happened if one day an unreasonable guest had forced himself upon her?
She knew herself well. She was not a bloodthirsty person, nor was she cruel, at least she believed so. But if she had fallen into demonhood, would she have become a ruthless demon queen and plunged the world into darkness?
It was a question she did not want to know the answer to.
She could not help but feel thankful that Lord Wei had entered her life.
But at the same time, if not for Lady Mo, her good sister, drugging both her and Lord Wei with that aphrodisiac, she would never have been freed from the chains of her cursed physique.
Still, forgiving Mo Xingyao so easily was not something she could do.
What if luck had not been on her side? What if Lord Wei had been just an ordinary cultivator, and her physique had truly killed him?
That thought still made her fuming at what Mo Xingyao had done.
No matter what, she would have her revenge.
While Dream Butterfly was thinking about how to take revenge on her good sister, Wei Chen set down his chopsticks and spoke.
“Yu’er, I will go to the Immortal Dream Garden and redeem you. Will you allow me to? After that, I would like you to stay with me and help me with my work,” Wei Chen said with a smile.
He had wanted an assistant for quite some time. In his previous world, he had his friend help him edit footage, and sometimes his girlfriend would assist with his pranks when he was not doubling down on his usual antics.
He missed those times, when his friend and girlfriend still trusted him… still believed in him.
Now, he had a chance to make things right. He would not betray the trust of the ones he loved again.
Hearing what her beloved lord said, Dream Butterfly’s smile grew even brighter, like the sun after a spring rain, warming those who beheld it.
“Yes, my lord! I will follow you anywhere!” Dream Butterfly accepted without hesitation.
