Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 384 - 384 368 Separating the Nascent Soul_1

384: Chapter 368: Separating the Nascent Soul_1 384: Chapter 368: Separating the Nascent Soul_1 Early the next morning, Lu Chuan gathered the necessary herbs and once again successfully created a Soul Condensing Pill.

Although the Soul Nurturing Jade had been absorbed by Xiu Niang, that didn’t hinder Lu Chuan from separating Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul.

After all, the Soul Nurturing Jade was only needed to ensure the longevity of Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul in this world.

Since Xiu Niang had deceived Lu Chuan, he had no intention of allowing this untrustworthy woman to remain in the world.

Therefore, he only needed to prepare the Soul Condensing Pills to protect Mu Nanqing’s soul and master the spell to separate the Nascent Soul.

Lastly, by using the dragon’s yang power, he could suppress Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul, eliminate it after separating, and that would be sufficient.

After concocting the Soul Condensing Pills by the afternoon, Lu Chuan didn’t rush to find Mu Nanqing.

The medical hall was still bustling with people during the day, and it would be awkward to be interrupted; hence, it would be more appropriate to go at night.

Nine o’clock in the evening.

The medical hall closed, everyone retreated to their rooms to rest, and the courtyard was silent.

Lu Chuan, mustering his courage and with the Soul Condensing Pill in hand, once again arrived in front of Mu Nanqing’s room.

He knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened.

Mu Nanqing was wearing only a loose white shirt, different from the previous evening, with the addition of two black stockings on her legs.

Her face was lightly made up with lipstick applied, making her appear even more enchanting.

Mu Nanqing asked, somewhat nervously yet expectantly, “Are…

are you ready?”

Lu Chuan swallowed nervously, nodded, and said, “I’m ready.”

“Then come in quickly,” Mu Nanqing hurriedly ushered Lu Chuan inside.

After entering the room, Lu Chuan casually closed the door behind him.

Unable to look directly at Lu Chuan, Mu Nanqing asked, “How should I assist you?”

She had waited all day to ask this question.

Perhaps due to excessive anticipation, she felt dizzy upon awakening, her body warmer than usual.

Today, Xiu Niang was unusually quiet, ceasing to plead for mercy.

Distracted by inappropriate thoughts, Mu Nanqing didn’t notice anything unusual.

Lu Chuan handed over the Soul Condensing Pill, saying, “Sister-in-law, take this pill.

Leave the rest…

to me.”

Mu Nanqing didn’t think twice before swallowing the elixir pill.

At that moment, Xiu Niang’s voice resounded within the room, “Lu Chuan, can’t you let me off just this once?

I realize my mistakes.

I’m willing to leave Mu Nanqing’s body now, but you must promise not to harm me, okay?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan snorted coldly and said, “I’ve been tricked by you before.

Do you think I’ll believe your words again?”

Fearing that Lu Chuan might soften at heart and agree to Xiu Niang’s plea, thus abandoning the plan they’d discussed, Mu Nanqing quickly said, “That’s right, Xiaochuan, you mustn’t believe her.

Let’s get on with the important matters to avoid any complications.”

“You two dogs, I curse you to never die well!” Xiu Niang cursed hysterically.

Lu Chuan reached out and touched Mu Nanqing’s forehead, sending a power into her mind that temporarily isolated Xiu Niang from the outside world.

“Sister-in-law, she won’t disturb us for the time being.”

Mu Nanqing nodded shyly, her eyes filled with deep affection as she gazed at Lu Chuan, as if expecting something.

Lu Chuan had been ready to conquer Mu Nanqing, but Xiu Niang’s sudden interruption broke the mood he had been fostering, making him somewhat timid again.

Unable to meet Mu Nanqing’s eyes, he turned away and said, “Sister-in-law, shall we…

sit down and have a chat first?”

Mu Nanqing felt displeased upon hearing that, thinking she’d waited an entire day not for a chat.

She could see that Lu Chuan was still somewhat restrained, so she steeled her heart to be the bad guy this time.

Suddenly, she pulled Lu Chuan onto the bed, pushed him down, and sat atop him.

“Whatever you want to talk about can wait for later.

Right now…

I just want to become your woman!” she said, and then she leaned down to kiss him.

Lu Chuan’s body tensed instantly, and the dragon’s yang power within began to surge.

He knew that further hesitation was pointless, so he wrapped his arms around Mu Nanqing and responded to her.

A great battle ensued.

…

Late into the night.

Lu Chuan and Mu Nanqing sat cross-legged on the bed, facing each other.

With a serious expression, Lu Chuan said, “Sister-in-law, now follow the method I taught you, guide the dragon’s yang power that has entered your body to suppress Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul.”

Mu Nanqing nodded and then, using the method taught by Lu Chuan, directed all her dragon’s yang power onto Xiu Niang.

Instantly, Xiu Niang screamed in pain, yelling, “Stop it, you two bastards!

I, a Nascent Soul skillful expert, shall not perish at the hands of such lowly creatures!”

Mu Nanqing ignored her and looked at Lu Chuan, saying, “I’ve suppressed her.

I can feel that she can’t resist now and is unable to take any action.”

Lu Chuan nodded and said, “Sister-in-law, I will now separate her from your mind.

It might be painful, so please bear with it.”

Mu Nanqing nodded again and then closed her eyes.

Lu Chuan immediately began the seal technique to separate the Nascent Soul, his hands forming intricate seals, and strange forces emerged, penetrating into Mu Nanqing’s mind.

Upon entering, these forces swiftly enveloped Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul.

Being suppressed by the dragon’s yang power, Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul was weakened and incapable of any desperate resistance.

The forces encased Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul and forcibly separated it from Mu Nanqing’s mind.

Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul appeared out of nowhere between Lu Chuan and Mu Nanqing.

With a face full of resentment, she glared at Lu Chuan and said, “Lu Chuan, if you really kill me, you will definitely regret it!”

Lu Chuan looked at Xiu Niang with a calm face and said, “I gave you a chance in the beginning, but you didn’t cherish it.

You have no one to blame but yourself.”

He didn’t hesitate and immediately released a force that struck Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul.

The suppressive effect of the dragon’s yang power was only temporary, so he couldn’t give Xiu Niang any chance to look for opportunities.

He had to take decisive action and eliminate her from this world.

Xiu Niang’s power dissipated rapidly, her Nascent Soul becoming more and more transparent, and in the blink of an eye, it had completely vanished before Lu Chuan.

Only, for some reason, Lu Chuan seemed to see a slight curl at the corner of Xiu Niang’s mouth as she disappeared.

“Could it be my imagination?”

He reached out to sense the situation inside Mu Nanqing’s mind and repeatedly confirmed that Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul had indeed been eradicated; only then was he certain that what he had seen was truly an illusion.

“Perhaps I was fooled by Xiu Niang once, making me always feel that she wouldn’t be so easy to eliminate.

But now, I can be sure that she has left my sister-in-law’s mind and has been completely cleared away by me,” he mused.

He turned to Mu Nanqing and said, “Sister-in-law, Xiu Niang has been dealt with.

From now on, you don’t have to worry about her posing any threat to you.”

Mu Nanqing slowly opened her eyes, then threw herself into Lu Chuan’s arms, hugging him tightly, “Xiaochuan, thank you…”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, why be so formal with me?

This is all something I should do.”

Mu Nanqing gave Lu Chuan a reproachful look and said, “Are you still calling me sister-in-law?”

Lu Chuan was startled and then took a deep breath, saying, “Then shall I call you…

Nanqing?”

Mu Nanqing was quite pleased with that and then once again pushed Lu Chuan down onto the bed.

Lu Chuan suddenly became nervous again and said, “Nan…

ah, Nanqing, what are you doing?”

Mu Nanqing said with a smile, “You helped me get rid of the trouble that was Xiu Niang, naturally, I have to repay you.”

“I don’t have anything good to give you, so I can only…

offer myself in return.”

Lu Chuan said, “Between you and me, do we really need to speak such words?”

Mu Nanqing thought about it for a moment and said, “But I feel like just now it was with a mission in mind.

Now, I want to give myself wholeheartedly.

Is that not alright?”

Lu Chuan said, “But just now…

you seemed quite involved too.”

Mu Nanqing’s face turned bright red, and she looked at Lu Chuan with a sultry gaze and said, “You little rascal, can’t I give myself an excuse?

Do you really have to make me admit that I…

that I am insatiable?!”

Lu Chuan was dumbfounded and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, saying, “So…

that’s how it is…”

“Well then, I have no choice but to bravely accompany the gentleman…”

Mu Nanqing chuckled softly and then leaned close to Lu Chuan’s ear, whispering gently, “Then…

I won’t hold back.”

Lu Chuan’s body shuddered, genuinely a bit worried for his own wellbeing.

The next afternoon.

Lu Chuan, with dark circles under his eyes and feeling as if his body had been hollowed out, came to the courtyard with a listless air.

Contrasting sharply with him was Mu Nanqing, who was radiant with energy, her cheeks glowing red with joy and a smile on her face.

Now that Mu Nanqing’s problem had been resolved, Lu Chuan must act quickly to settle the karma with the Great Elder; otherwise, with only a little over two months left, it was uncertain whether he could find the whereabouts of the Profound Sect Leader.

He told Mu Nanqing that he had to deal with something very important and would have to leave for some time.

Mu Nanqing naturally wouldn’t stop him, though she used this as an excuse to ask for a few more favors.

At that moment, Lu Chuan suddenly remembered something, turned his head towards Mu Nanqing, and asked, “Nanqing, you once told me you would share a secret with me.

What exactly is that secret?”

Mu Nanqing blushed at the question and said, “Actually, it’s not much of a secret.

When your elder brother passed away, he said that you should take me as your woman in the future.

I just thought that you might prefer to have your own life, so I never spoke up.

Now that I’ve said it, it doesn’t really matter anymore.”

Lu Chuan nodded thoughtfully, surprised to learn of such arrangements his elder brother had made before his passing.

This made him feel somewhat relieved on the inside.

He smiled at Mu Nanqing and said, “I have to go and take care of my own affairs now, wait for me to come back.”

Mu Nanqing nodded, hesitated for a moment, then mustered the courage to step closer to Lu Chuan and gave him a peck on the cheek.

“Be careful in all things.”

Lu Chuan nodded solemnly, then without further hesitation, turned and left the clinic.

Mu Nanqing watched Lu Chuan until he reached the entrance of the clinic and stopped.

She watched his figure disappear down the street, feeling excited, thrilled, and a little bit lost.

Just then, a voice suddenly echoed in her ear: “Do you really think I’ve been eliminated?”

That was Xiu Niang’s voice!

Mu Nanqing’s brow immediately furrowed, sensing her own mind, but she detected no abnormalities.

“It’s probably because Xiu Niang has been on my nerves for so long, I might be having auditory hallucinations,” she thought.

Without harboring any further doubt, she turned and went back into the clinic.
