Chapter 255: 147, 148. Flirted? ’Mass-producible’ Tribulation (Large Chapter - Subscription Request)_4

Song Cheng:...

All right.

He truly was on a path to death.

The moment he was trapped in The place where those dishonest lovers were punished and thrown into the water, he was nearly dead. If it weren’t for Yune’s Reappear Calamity being so unique, containing a "youth who saved Yune," he would have drowned in the Tang River without anyone to save him.

Indeed, was he utterly blinded when undergoing his trial?

Song Cheng muttered to himself, feeling fortunate, and then asked, "Sister Su, what should we do?"

Su Mengzhen said, "Reappear Calamity, it recreates the spiritual world of the evil spirit.

We undergo the Reappear Calamity to forge our own Divine Souls.

Therefore, we must resist, not comply.

In simple terms, we must find what we need to do in the Reappear Calamity and persistently adhere to it.

Song, I’ve heard you’re obsessed with Martial Path, so you can treat practicing martial arts as your task.

As for me, I favor the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting over strength, so I will set aside my power and immerse myself in these arts during the Reappear Calamity.

Compared to us, the Twin Ghosts are much stronger, but not utterly unsurpassable, especially since it’s not the Ghost Tide period now, and they are still dormant, thus their power has significantly weakened.

Our combined efforts can twist this situation," she said.

"I see," Song Cheng mused.

Su Mengzhen continued, "But in the Reappear Calamity, everyone is extremely sensitive to the spirit; a slight thought can twist your thinking, turning you into someone unrecognizable.

Therefore, we must intentionally expose a flaw in our spirit to control the direction of the mind’s distortion."

After saying this, Su Mengzhen suddenly asked, "Song, have you ever thought about tearing off my dress and coming onto me?"

Song Cheng was startled.

Cold yet seductive, pure and intellectual, and in that moment, as the head of the Su Family, her vulgar tone, so reminiscent of a marketplace, was filled with the primitive allure that could ignite all the dark thoughts in a person’s heart, all in an instant.

While he was stunned, the elder sister-in-law swiftly changed the topic, saying solemnly, "Song, it’s all for the sake of crossing the calamity.

The calamity is a matter of life and death. If we fail, we might both perish, so... let go of that flaw since it’s the easiest to control while we are together in this calamity.

After the calamity, our thoughts will slowly return to normal. Just consider it a dream known only between us and don’t mention it to anyone.

And... it may not even need to go that far. We’re just preparing... If we get drawn into the evil spirit’s emotions, then think of this, and use this stronger emotion to recover our rhythm."

The elder sister-in-law spoke seriously, then emphasized again, "It’s only for crossing the calamity, and after that, this will be our secret..."

Song Cheng didn’t know what to say.

Was the elder sister-in-law seducing him?

Regardless, the elder sister-in-law had taken the word "temptation" to its ultimate.

If it indeed was the Reappear Calamity, Song Cheng would certainly follow the elder sister-in-law’s suggestion, but... the Reappear Calamity was his to control.

Then, he decided to proceed.

So, he nodded and said, "Sister Su, we’ll act as we see fit."

Su Mengzhen, appearing cold and seductive, no longer looked at him but just pressed down on her long dress at the hips, said "Okay," then tossed a bottle of Pills at Song Cheng to fortify his Divine Soul and break the Illusionary Realm.

...

The mist thickened, and the two continued forward; the gorge disappeared, turning into a town.

Su Mengzhen looked back, but the road they had come on was gone.

A cold wind blew from the cramped old alleys, carrying the smell of alcohol, vomit, and a mix of rotting brick, wood, and stone, dizzying the senses.

The two walked cautiously when suddenly... a shadow burst out of a small alley.

It was a brawny man.

The brawny man quickly reached behind Su Mengzhen and Song Cheng.

Thwack!

Su Mengzhen couldn’t resist and was knocked out cold.

The brawny man raised his hand to hit Song Cheng.

Song Cheng glared at him coldly, causing the brawny man to awkwardly touch the back of his head, and then... in his eyes, Song Cheng became "invisible" and was left alone.

Su Mengzhen, who was knocked unconscious, was thrown into a newly made iron cage, and as the cage door was about to close, Song Cheng held the door but then, after some thought, decided not to enter.

This was clearly the Human Skin Ghost’s Reappearance, exactly what the original Human Skin Ghost had gone through.

Song Cheng could not interfere, as this was the Reappear Calamity.

If Sister Su couldn’t complete this calamity, she wouldn’t be able to break through.

Thus, he turned and entered another cage.

A black cloth was pulled over it, followed by jolting and dragging; initially, there were still sounds of a bustling market, but gradually... only wind sounds remained, and finally, the sound of waves.

Clearly, the ship had set to sea.

Inside the cage, Su Mengzhen slowly regained consciousness, and instinctively called out, "Song?"

The darkness answered with silence.

"Song!?"

Su Mengzhen panicked.

She urgently felt around the cage but found that this not-so-small cage held only her.

She immediately rushed to the bars, only to find she had no strength, and the black cloth covering the cage was too heavy for her to lift even slightly, but the sound of the waves and the rocking sensation made her realize she must be on a sea ship.

All her initial plans were shattered.

Suddenly, her past thoughts of good and evil became extremely refined, expanding as if numerous small figures were shouting into her mind with megaphones.

Su Mengzhen was bewildered, but she knew she couldn’t continue like this.

If she let the Reappearance continue, she was surely doomed.

"Song!!" she cried out like a drowning person.
