You have no idea how deep my feelings for Xiaochuan are.

It must have been the heavens that saw my obsession and thus helped me resist your attempt to possess my body.”

“Don’t bother wasting your efforts, you won’t be able to take over my body!”

She wasn’t clear about what exactly was happening.

When Xiu Niang had control over her body, she had remained conscious and could feel everything Xiu Niang sensed, but she couldn’t communicate with the outside world, so she could only fret in silence.

However, when Xiu Niang said she would replace her and lovingly take care of Lu Chuan, a force erupted within her soul, giving her the capability to contend with Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul.

She didn’t know where this power came from, but she was certain that as long as it existed, Xiu Niang would never be able to possess her.

Xiu Niang, shocked for a long while, then sneered, “Even if that power protects you, you still can’t control it.

I will still be able to suppress you and take control of the body.

As long as I control the body for one more day, you won’t ever see Lu Chuan again!”

Mu Nanqing hummed, “As long as you don’t possess me, Xiaochuan will come to rescue me one day.”

“And you just said I can’t control this power, but if I do gain control of it, won’t I be able to suppress you in turn?”

Xiu Niang’s face changed, and she said urgently, “You’re just a normal person, you will never be able to find a way to master this power!”

Mu Nanqing sneered and said, “Seeing how anxious you are, it seems I really might have a shot at mastering this power.”

“You shouldn’t have deceived Xiaochuan.

If you had honestly stuck to the agreement, Xiaochuan could have helped you reconstruct a physical body, but you lied to him.

When he sees you next time, he definitely won’t let you off.”

Xiu Niang, flustered and exasperated, said, “No matter what, I am a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Now that some of my strength has been restored, even if I don’t possess you, I can still cultivate using your body.

Before Lu Chuan arrives, I will definitely find a way to possess you!”

Mu Nanqing snorted, “I will definitely find a way to control this power as well!”

…

Lu Chuan sat wilted on the steps for three days, becoming utterly disheveled.

No matter who tried to persuade him, he was as if cut off from the world, not responding at all.

Zou Baicheng felt this was Lu Chuan’s way of venting the sorrow in his heart, so he ordered everyone not to disturb Lu Chuan until he had moved past his inner pain and recovered naturally.

Just as Lu Chuan was still immersed in his grief and despair, a surge of power suddenly appeared in the room.

Lu Chuan, stiff as a stone, immediately raised his head when he felt the power, a hint of confusion appearing on his face.

He could feel that the power was coming from the room where Xiu Niang had previously been.

“This power…

it feels somewhat familiar.”

Lu Chuan stood up and entered the room, immediately noticing an amethyst pendant on the table.

It was the very amethyst pendant he had once given to Mu Nanqing.

Xiu Niang had taken off the pendant last night when she bathed and had not taken it with her when she left.

At that moment, the amethyst pendant was emitting a faint purple glow, releasing a force out of thin air, appearing somewhat eerie.

Lu Chuan walked over, picked up the pendant, and then felt the power emerging from within it.

The next second, he heard Mu Nanqing’s voice.

“Xiaochuan, I haven’t been possessed by Xiu Niang, I am still alive.

I am not sure what exactly happened, but for now, Xiu Niang can only control my body and is unable to possess me.

Don’t worry about me.

If I ever get a chance to suppress Xiu Niang, I will contact you immediately.

You mustn’t do anything foolish because Xiu Niang took me away.

Take care of yourself—I am still waiting for you to come and save me!”

After hearing this voice, Lu Chuan’s eyes immediately burst with radiance.

“Sister-in-law is still alive!”

He became extremely excited and immediately tried to contact Mu Nanqing through the amethyst pendant, but after several attempts, he received no response.

Although he did not know what had happened, through the information Mu Nanqing passed to him, he speculated that some mishap occurred during Xiu Niang’s attempt to possess Mu Nanqing, leading to the failure.

And the fact that Mu Nanqing could send a message through the amethyst pendant baffled Lu Chuan, especially since Mu Nanqing was a mere human and logically shouldn’t have been able to do such a thing.

There must have been some unexpected event that occurred.

After initially giving the amethyst pendant to Mu Nanqing, she always wore it close to her, whether sleeping or bathing, never taking it off.

The material that made up the amethyst pendant was inherently spiritual, and the pendant had reached the level of a Magic Artifact.

After being warmed by Mu Nanqing’s constant contact, a mysterious connection had developed between them.

Therefore, she was able to send messages to Lu Chuan through the amethyst pendant, but because she couldn’t control the power that manifested in her soul, she wasn’t able to continue communicating with Lu Chuan after sending that message.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan could gauge Mu Nanqing’s condition through the state of the amethyst pendant.

At the very least, Mu Nanqing was still alive and her life force was incredibly strong.

He tried to locate Mu Nanqing through the amethyst pendant, but encountered interference, likely from Xiu Niang, who had cast a spell to prevent her location from being pinpointed.

“As long as sister-in-law is still alive, there is still hope.”

“Xiu Niang’s possession attempt has failed, so sister-in-law should be safe for the time being.

However, I can’t contact her, which means I can’t determine her exact location.”

“But since she managed to contact me this time through the amethyst pendant, there will definitely be another time.”

“I can’t afford to fall into despair.

Otherwise, if sister-in-law reaches out again and I miss the chance to save her because I am wallowing in self-blame, that would truly be unforgivable!”

Determination reignited in Lu Chuan’s eyes.

Although he couldn’t find Mu Nanqing’s whereabouts now, he couldn’t afford to be idle.

Xiu Niang was, after all, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

He had to improve his own strength, so that when Mu Nanqing reached out to him again, he would have the confidence to rescue her.

Moreover, the Great Elder was lurking, waiting for his chance to strike.

If he continued to wallow, it would only give the Great Elder an opportunity to strike when he was most vulnerable.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Chuan solemnly put away the amethyst pendant.

He squinted, emitting an aura of killing intent, and murmured, “This crisis of sister-in-law is Qin Lan’s doing.

Since that’s the case, I’ll go and kill this woman who should have long been in hell, and avenge sister-in-law!”
