Chapter 140: 101, 102. Waves and clouds shift mysteriously, Divine Soul gathers substance for Manifestation (Thanks to alliance leader ’Boole’)

Wang Tianchuan and Gao Lin did not visit Song Cheng and Miss An at the Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple. Instead, they pretended to have just escaped from the canal and went to the An Residence, where Old Master An, the nominal head of the residence, punished them.

But the punishment was just on the surface to establish that "these two simply couldn’t endure hardship and, upon hearing about the rise of the An family and the approaching Ghost Tide, secretly ran back." If anyone claimed that "the two were acting on orders," it would be dismissed as slander and opposition to the An family.

In secret, cultivation techniques, resources, and money were awarded to them generously.

Even Gao Lin’s wife was transferred to a "comfortable and easy" job within the An household.

The An family never shortchanged those who contributed.

Rewards always followed achievements.

As for Wang Tianchuan, he was once the offspring of "Mr. Wang." Now "Mr. Wang," the "former official of the previous dynasty," had completely integrated into the new power without much change in status. This was also the An family and Song Cheng’s form of gratitude to the Wang family.

In places unseen by Song Cheng, the An family had gradually started to become a self-operating powerhouse, involving numerous industries, witnessing countless events daily.

But those below had their own worries and pursuits.

Although Song Cheng didn’t see himself as an "upper person," and still preferred others to call him Song, his identity had indeed changed.

Because of the incident with the "Invisible Qi Realm Four Blade Ghost Servant," he was concerned for the two ladies and moved entirely to the Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple.

The late winter and early spring always reminded young people of this time last year.

Back then, he encountered the Extreme Joy World.

Had it not been for Yune, he would have already died.

And this year, even more terrifying things started to happen.

"Invisible Qi Realm Four Blade Ghost Servants" had appeared.

This meant that even the high-level authorities, when faced with such an assassination, could die instantly if careless.

If the high-levels were dead, wouldn’t the entire city’s populace be at the mercy of the enemy?

Of course, for a city, the greatest reliance was not on martial artists, but the army.

The army could unleash tremendous power.

But what if such assassins executed a decapitation plot and killed the generals first?

There was always a chance for survival, albeit a slim one.

That slim chance was hidden in the mist and had to be found.

Lady Zhushan ventured into the Barbarian Lands to find it.

Fox Immortal Su and a thousand riders took a coffin north to search.

Song Cheng, too, was searching.

The Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple held many books, besides the "Pearl Mountain Martial Code," there were various others, many with Lady Zhushan’s annotations.

Lady Zhushan loved reading, and with the passage of time, she grew even more fond of it.

At this moment, Ying went out to assist An Chenyu in inspecting places.

An Chenyu strolled in the courtyard at dawn.

Ling climbed up and down, taking Water Crystal wind chimes, and hung them on the old tree in front of the small house.

The tassels swayed in the wind, and the wind chimes made a pleasant "ding ding ding" sound.

Song Cheng read in room-sized quarters.

By now, he could recognize most characters.

With his eyesight restored, he no longer needed Ling to read for him.

He flipped through one book after another, quickly gaining insight into a tiny fraction of this world.

Without a doubt, this world had been peaceful for a long time. Previously, even if there were Ghost Tides and Ghost Servants, they were on a small scale, ending sometimes before people could even react.

Thus, the last large-scale event caused significant panic.

But things were bound to get worse.

Ling finished hanging the wind chimes and happily blew on them again and again; she seemed to love the vibrant and hopeful "ding ding ding" sound.

Whenever the wind chimes sounded, Song Cheng would look up at Ling.

Truthfully, Ling had changed significantly.

Having absorbed Fox Immortal Su’s Divine Soul, she began to transform, purging all impurities and blemishes from her body. She seemed to be in "beauty mode," stunningly beautiful, almost warranting the description "Nation-Toppling Beauty."

When Lady Zhushan departed, she passed many things to Madam Tong, including not only the "Visualization Method" but also a thin booklet resembling a cultivation technique.

The booklet did not record any cultivation techniques, but described an "unnamed" dance.

This dance had strict requirements regarding attire.

Overall, it was summed up in eight words: revealing outfits, flirtatious and fiery.

That "unnamed" dance had been passed on to Ling.

After hanging the wind chimes, Ling ran inside, changed into a red gauze dress, and, shivering, ventured into the yard; inside was a red silk bodice, flawless.

One moment she was shivering with cold, the next she took a deep breath, lifted the hem of her long red gown with both hands, twisted left, wriggled right, her hips swaying quickly "du du" as she practiced dancing in the yard.

The Little Tea Girl had fortuitously seized an opportunity that could increase her value, and naturally, she wouldn’t let it slip away.

Afraid of hardship and challenges, she was indecisive, not very bright, yet knew when to go all out... At this moment, she gritted her teeth, dancing hard in the cold wind.

Song Cheng lifted his gaze.

This dance was Lady Zhushan’s dance.

He was certain of it.

Lady Zhushan, wearing a heavy coat and using "disguise visage" herbs to don a homely, chubby face, would face the Ghost Servants by removing the coat and herbs, revealing her graceful figure and performing the enticing Fox Dance, instantaneously trapping the Ghost Servants in an Illusionary Realm, leaving them immobilized and vulnerable as sitting ducks.
