Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me

351: Chapter 335 Desperate Lu Chuan_1 351: Chapter 335 Desperate Lu Chuan_1 Xiu Niang watched Lu Chuan fall, a look of satisfaction spreading across her face.

She then picked a long dress from the side and slipped into it.

Crouching before Lu Chuan, she touched his cheek with a smile and said, “It’s a pity.

Your body and strength have been sealed by my spell, otherwise, before leaving, I would have taken the opportunity to favor you just once.”

Lu Chuan lay on the ground, looking at Xiu Niang incredulously, and asked, “Your strength was clearly depleted, how could you still cast spells on me?”

Xiu Niang smiled and said, “Did you forget that I have been drinking the tonic soup you’ve been brewing for me all this time?

My own power is exhausted, and I’m unable to cast any spells, but that doesn’t mean Mu Nanqing can’t.”

“The ingredients you used for the tonic soup contained rich Spiritual Energy.

After her body absorbed it, even without a technique to refine it, it accumulated inside, allowing me to use that Spiritual Energy to activate the spell when we kissed just now.

It was then that I cast it on you.”

“How about that, isn’t my method exquisitely clever?”

Lu Chuan said, “But I didn’t feel any spiritual energy fluctuation just now.

If you really cast a spell, I should have been able to sense it.”

Xiu Niang laughed and said, “There are all kinds of methods to activate spells in this world, how could you know them all?

If I didn’t even have this little trick, wouldn’t it mean I’ve wasted all these years at the Nascent Soul Stage?”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath and said, “But you have already promised to leave my sister-in-law’s body, and I have promised to help you reconstruct a physical body.

Why go back on your word?”

Standing up, Xiu Niang said indifferently, “I only agreed to that as a means to deceive you into giving me the Soul Nurturing Jade.

In this era, with the depletion of Spiritual Energy, Heaven and Earth Treasures are rare to begin with, not to mention finding an item capable of reconstructing a body.”

“If I really agreed to your terms, I’d be trapped in an indefinite period of waiting, and I am fed up with that feeling.”

“Besides, back then it was because I trusted a man that I ended up with my body destroyed and was reduced to lingering on in a Nascent Souls state.

Do you think I would easily trust anyone again?”

Lu Chuan eagerly said, “I can swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao!”

Xiu Niang scoffed, “A Heavenly Dao oath?

Because of your promise, I should endure loneliness for decades or centuries more?

If you were in my place, do you think it would be worth it?”

“Don’t worry.

In consideration of this Soul Nurturing Jade, I won’t kill you.

The spell on you will deactivate automatically after three hours, but by that time I will have left this place and gone where you can never find me.”

Gazing at the Soul Nurturing Jade in her hand with hopeful eyes, she said, “Once I absorb the energy from this Soul Nurturing Jade and my Nascent Soul’s power is restored, I can break through the protections made by the elixir pill you fed Mu Nanqing, and then take her body for myself.”

“Next time we meet, this body will be completely mine, but if you are willing, I can continue to be your sister-in-law, and a rather taboo kind at that.”

Having said that, she wasted no time, turned, and left the place.

“Stop right there!” Lu Chuan roared.

However, he was unable to move his body and could only watch helplessly as Xiu Niang left.

Three hours later.

The strength in Lu Chuan’s body was restored, and he quickly got to his feet and dashed outside.

He sought out Zou Baicheng and Su Ming, urging them to immediately lead people from the Martial Arts Association to seek out Xiu Niang’s whereabouts.

He himself also searched the places she might go and extended his Divine Sense to its limits, not wanting to miss any corner.

Yet, after a whole night of searching, Xiu Niang seemed to have evaporated from the human world, leaving no trace behind.

At dawn.

Inside the Martial Arts Association.

Lu Chuan, with bloodshot eyes, walked dejectedly to the front steps of the entrance and sat down.

Seeing Lu Chuan’s state, Su Ming felt a wave of compassion and approached to console him, “Big brother, even if we can’t find Xiu Niang right now, it doesn’t necessarily mean she will succeed in possessing sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law is blessed with good fortune; she will definitely survive!”

Lu Chuan heard these words and instead showed a hint of despair in his eyes.

If it were under normal circumstances, with the protection of the Soul Condensing Pill, even if Xiu Niang ran away, she couldn’t possess Mu Nanqing’s body, but since the Soul Nurturing Jade had also fallen into Xiu Niang’s hands, it was only a matter of time before she would use it to restore the Nascent Soul’s power and take over Mu Nanqing.

In his heart, he was filled with self-reproach, believing that it was his excessive trust in Xiu Niang that had led to the current situation.

If only he had been more resolute at the time, forcibly separating Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul, then Mu Nanqing would not have fallen into such a desperate situation.

“Sister-in-law, I’m sorry…”

…

In a secluded part of the deep mountains and old forests where people seldom tread.

Within the dense woods.

Xiu Niang sat cross-legged on a rock, with her eyes tightly closed and her hands forming seals, surrounded by a terrifying aura.

The Soul Nurturing Jade floated in front of her, constantly releasing power, pouring into her mind.

After a long time, Xiu Niang opened her eyes and then with a palm, she struck toward several big trees beside her.

The terrifying power exploded, those big trees collapsed with a crash, and a fierce and horrifying pit appeared on the ground.

She drew the Soul Nurturing Jade into her hand, leapt down from the rock, and revealed an excited smile on her face.

“The feeling of having power is indeed thrilling, even though it is far too less compared to my peak, it is enough to support me in taking over Mu Nanqing,” she said.

Without hesitation, Xiu Niang introspected her mind and began to cast her method to break the protection of the Soul Condensing Pill around Mu Nanqing’s soul.

Although she was confident that Lu Chuan wouldn’t find her, as long as she hadn’t possessed the body, her heart would not be at ease.

Therefore, after recovering some of her strength with the Soul Nurturing Jade, she couldn’t wait to start the process to possess Mu Nanqing.

In no time at all, the protective effect of the Soul Condensing Pill was completely broken.

Xiu Niang sneered and said, “Rest in peace, for you will disappear from this world.

From now on, I will carry this body and experience the world’s delights.

I will never treat this body poorly.”

“As for Lu Chuan, once my strength is restored, I’ll take good care of him for you.”

She didn’t hesitate at all and immediately began to erode Mu Nanqing’s soul.

However, at that moment, a terrifying power burst forth from within Mu Nanqing’s soul, resisting Xiu Niang’s erosion.

Then Xiu Niang heard Mu Nanqing’s voice, “Xiaochuan is mine, who are you to love him for me!”

“If I just disappear from this world, Xiaochuan will be heartbroken; I will not let you take over my body!”

Xiu Niang could not believe it, she hadn’t expected that after the effect of the Soul Condensing Pill was broken, such a terrifying and pure power could still erupt from within Mu Nanqing’s soul.

She felt the power for a moment and realized that it originated from the very depths of Mu Nanqing’s soul, and its terrifying strength was such that even she, at her peak, would not be able to possess her!

“How is this possible!”
