Chapter 254: 147, 148. Were you teased? ’Mass Producible’ Tribulation (Big Chapter - Please Subscribe)_3

"Song, I have finished the alchemy."

"Then tidy up a bit, we’ll set off tomorrow."

"Mm." Su Mengzhen responded, then gazed intently at Song Cheng from a distance, her eyes scrutinizing him as though all the brilliance of the world enveloped him, and suddenly the air fell silent.

Song Cheng felt an inexplicable warmth in his belly. As he was about to turn his head, his elder sister-in-law smiled broadly and beckoned, "Why stand so far away? Ting left a painting here, I found it just in time to return it to you, and then say your goodbyes to the ladies properly... The Reappear Calamity is not something that can be overcome in a day or two."

Song Cheng smiled slightly, realizing he was still standing at the entrance of the courtyard, so he quickly walked over and said, "Ting really is forgetful."

"Not really, Ting is pretty good, and... his potential is great."

Su Mengzhen seriously returned the remark, then turned and started rummaging through a pile of books and drawing papers.

Song Cheng initially waited, but suddenly felt something was off.

Su Mengzhen turned her back to him, quite close, her buttocks wrapped in snow-colored thin chiffon, uplifted, and naturally falling crystalline skirts sketched out a beautiful curve...

The wind gently blew.

The skirt swayed slightly.

The action of searching brought about a bit of twisting motion.

Just then, the Head of the Su Family suddenly turned her head and said to him, "Song, what are you staring at? Come over and help me look, the children have drawn and practiced their calligraphy too much recently."

Song Cheng nodded.

He walked over.

The two of them leaned close together, their bodies unintentionally touching as though by accident yet seemingly deliberate.

Song Cheng had never felt this way before; he breathed somewhat faster, and upon looking at his elder sister-in-law next to him, her intelligent yet pure eyes were seriously focused on the pile of drawings, seemingly oblivious to his odd state.

Although Song Cheng was puzzled—Was Su Mengzhen flirting with him?

There was no evidence, however.

And no motive.

Speaking of links with the Su Family, he currently practiced the "Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Sutra" from the Su Family, his wife was Su Mengzhen’s sister, and Su Mengzhen herself also had children; the connection with the Su Family was already deep, so there was absolutely no reason for Su Mengzhen to flirt with him.

All of this seemed like his wild imagination.

But these wild thoughts clearly felt immoral.

He shook his head, thinking, "Maybe my Qi and blood have been turbulent recently, I shouldn’t let my thoughts wander like this."

While he was distracted, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear.

"Song, what’s wrong?"

Song Cheng involuntarily turned his head, just as Su Mengzhen was also looking at him from the side.

Her face was charming yet insightful, her expression full of concern, her gaze earnestly fixed on him... only him.

Time seemed to stop.

Their faces were very close together.

"Found it."

The elder sister-in-law suddenly raised her hand, a playful laugh in her voice as she obstructively waved a drawing between them, blocking their line of sight, then stood up and backed away with an attitude of keeping someone thousands of miles away, "Song, you don’t seem to be in a good state. Passing the tribulation is no joke, you need to adjust your condition, you... go prepare."

Song Cheng felt an inexplicable itching sensation deep within, he really wanted to ask "Sister Su, are you flirting with me?" but felt that such a question would be extremely rude.

So, he got up, straightened his neat clothing, and took the painting.

Upon examination, it turned out to be the Hundred Beasts Chart.

Although Ting’s painting couldn’t be said to be lifelike, it clearly showed great talent in composition.

"Teacher Su teaches well." He smiled, holding the painting as he left.

...

...

As for the Reappear Calamity, Song Cheng didn’t really need to prepare.

Because this tribulation was just a "diminished version of Extreme Joy World plus Great Dark Heaven," and he would join in during the tribulation, accompanying Su Mengzhen to pass it.

But he wasn’t purely "playing nanny."

Lately, he had been contemplating the integration of powers.

Patiently experiencing his own Reappearance might help him find answers, or at least afford him fuller utilization of his powers.

That evening, as a farewell, Song Cheng specially let the three women sleep together.

The night was fierce...

The next day, he prepared some simple food and then headed north with his elder sister-in-law, who was ready on the other side.

The two quickly left Hanping Village.

Song Cheng led the way toward an uninhabited canyon.

Upon entering the canyon, he quietly summoned the Human Skin Ghost...

A ghostly aura formed a mist that spread out like a dim-colored river, beginning to fill the rugged winding pathways of the canyon.

Su Mengzhen looked around carefully.

She hadn’t experienced the Reappear Calamity, but others from the Su Family had, so she somewhat understood the horror of the "Reappear Calamity" and the mental distortions that would occur...

To cope with such distortions, an ancestral method was to "intentionally expose a vulnerability," then let the Reappear Calamity erupt through this flaw.

This kind of thing was just a few words.

So, Su Mengzhen didn’t mention it while in Hanping Village, but now seeing that they had entered the ghostly fog, she solemnly said, "Song, there’s a key to passing the tribulation that I didn’t tell you earlier because it wasn’t convenient. Now that we’re starting, I’ll tell you."

"Please speak, Sister Su."

Song Cheng was also curious about what the secret might be.

After all, he himself had genuinely nearly died while undergoing his own Reappear Calamity.

The Reappear Calamity was quite inescapable.

You had to endure the pain of evil spirits, and moreover twin ghosts, to increase the strength of your Divine Soul, thereby nourishing the body and reaching the "Mysterious Level Grade C" level.

Su Mengzhen said, "In that already-destroyed continent, I heard quite a lot about the Reappear Calamity. The Reappear Calamity is really just a kind of mental distortion wrought by evil spirits... If you do nothing but remain vigilant and terrified, passively enduring, then you will go through everything the evil spirit goes through, which is a road to death."
