Chapter 076: Born to be a Pair

“Keep talking nonsense, and I’ll tear your mouth off!” Ruan Qingshuang stands up. Without using any spells, she goes and slaps Chu Yu’s face.

(it was Chu Ling one chapter ago)

Chu Yu just keeps laughing.

Gu Fengyang’s primordial spirit has disappeared, and he even failed to force her death in the end. This signifies that he died as a good-for-nothing, a lowly death, dying without the capacity to involve other people.

He dies and Su Lijiang lives.

He came back to being himself, really good.

…

Gu Fengyang is dead.

He’s dead, and his primordial spirit is completely annihilated. His existence is completely gone in this world. He gave up his human body for immortality, but ultimately died while seizing another.

Ren Jia’s body, a puppet without a ghost, falls backwards. But he does not land on the ground, with Ren Yi firmly clutching him.

There are many wounds on Ren Jia’s body, but there’s not a drop of blood. Those holes pierced by his spear look very sinister. Ren Yi quietly stares, and stares and stares, and tears fall endlessly.

It’s only after the sealing array disappears that Su Tingyun sees the abnormality on Ren Jia’s body. The flesh doesn’t have even a trace of life, that even she can feel that there is no primordial spirit in this body.

She previously thought that Gu Fengyang can’t completely seize Ren Jia’s body, just like how he tried to take over Su Lijiang’s body back then. That Su Lijiang and Gu Fengyang were in the same body, but it’s only that Gu Fengyang had the upper hand. But it doesn’t seem to be the case right now.

Did Ren Jia encounter an accident when he went out?

She turns her head and looks at their Lord, “Ren Jia, he…”

She watches as he unexpectedly lowers his head, and slowly nods. He is still as expressionless as before, but at this moment, Su Tingyun sees the same grief and sorrow from within his eyes. In those eyes, there’s a turbulent sea brewing a storm.

That mask couldn’t hide the emotion in his eyes.

Ren Yi is still howling and crying, his voice sporadically audible then not, like he keeps on running out of breath.

This is the first time that Su Tingyun sees a man weeping so bitterly. He cries like his heart is breaking and his lungs are splitting. The wooden spear has a sympathetic response, and it’s as if they’re on a wide grassy plains right now, that there’s a sudden successive howling of wolves around them.

Ren Yi’s eyes are getting redder and redder, and the murderous air around him is getting denser and denser.

Because he hates.

More than that, he regrets.

Had he been the one to go out, his brother wouldn’t have died. But he’s always been lazy, and unwilling to do any work. If he paid attention when he heard his brother’s call, his brother might have held on longer…

What did his brother want to tell him?

But he will never hear him again.

“Brother, wake up!”

“Brother…”

Brother, what did you want to tell me…

Did his brother want Ren Yi to avenge him?

The murderous air on Ren Yi’s seems to congeal. Faint black air surrounds his entire body, blowing through the surroundings without a source, the evil wind becomes damp and cold.

Seeing the situation turning worse, Bai Su makes a plan to trap Ren Yi into an illusory array and make him temporarily forget the pain. However, as soon as he throws out the array, he watches as the wooden spear hums, then flies directly into Ren Yi’s hands and hits the array.

The power of Bai Su’s array isn’t weak, but because he can’t use spiritual energy, these are drawn in advance and couldn’t be controlled at will, and he worries about hurting Ren Yi. Ren Yi himself has successfully cultivated into the stage of perfect Nascent Soul, he is too stimulated at this time, and the spear soul suddenly appears on top of that. This unexpectedly makes the energy he emits have the power of Tribulation Transcendent. Bai Su, who just performed a spell to break the opponent’s puppet and launched a counter attack at the hidden puppet master, is exhausted in mind and soul. Now, he’s a bit wary of Ren Yi making an attack.

But even if he gets injured, he must stop Ren Yi from succumbing to his internal demons.

Bai Su begins to forcefully mobilize spiritual energy, but then, his eyes suddenly go wide. He watches as Ren Jia, who has already lost his primordial soul and has lost the breath of life, opens his eyes with much difficulty. Bai Su raises a trembling hand, and next to him, Su Tingyun’s body collapses sideways. He subconsciously reaches over and helps her not to fall.

Su Tingyun has done a possession once today. In order to hide earlier, she entered the space in the jade bracelet and possessed Li Xinmei’s body. Then she later returned to her own body.

She has done experiments before. If she forcefully does a possession twice within a short amount of time, it will cause great damage to her soul. That is to say, she will be extremely weak.

Ren Jia’s body has been dead for a certain period of time. Her ability to control the corpse is so low, she can hardly move.

However, she can’t just watch and do nothing. She can’t just watch Ren Yi’s inconsolable grief, watch him succumb to his internal demons, and do nothing.

She forcefully enters Ren Jia’s corpse, which is more painful than she expected. Ren Jia’s body has been refined by a secret art, its original purpose is to seal a primordial soul. In the end, Bai Su unraveled it and created a backlash against the puppet master. Although the seal is broken, the shell seems like it’s coated in wax. Now that there are small holes poked into the acupoints, it is still very difficult for Su Tingyun to enter.

Though the pain is unbearable, she rallies her mind and enters Ren Jia’s body.

But once she’s in, she feels like her entire being is getting torn apart, like her consciousness is getting crushed into ashes, and she could no longer think. She just raises her hand with unimaginable effort, like draining her divine sense all at once.

Ren Yi, who has lost his mind at this time, feels his brother move in his arms. He suddenly calms down, the murderous air on his body dwindling by a lot. Those wolf howls weaken as well.
