Volume 11, Chapter 740 – Big Brother Is Way Too Feminine

“Tell our parents? Is that really necessary?”

Qi Huang spoke with some hesitation. Although in the cultivation world, where women outnumbered men, it wasn’t unusual for girls to rely on and accompany one another, it still went against traditional customs.

“How could it not be necessary? This is a major event in life. I must give you a proper status.”

Cheng Hongling’s tone was firm, leaving no room for argument.

“Uh…”

Qi Huang hesitated for a moment, then softly nodded. “Alright, but only tell them. Outsiders must not know.”

“Why? Don’t tell me you’re still hung up on another girl? Is it that Mu Ruoyi?”

Cheng Hongling’s brows knitted.

“No, no, no, you misunderstood! It’s because my identity cannot be made public. If others were to know you wanted to marry your own doppelgänger, tongues would wag.”

Qi Huang hurried to explain.

“That makes sense.”

Cheng Hongling nodded thoughtfully, then deliberately adopted a generous air. “Fine then. From now on, you’re my fiancée. Of course I’ll satisfy your every need.”

“Mhm, mhm!”

Qi Huang nodded in contentment.

Cheng Hongling’s eyes lit up. She suddenly realized something exhilarating, Qi Huang’s doppelgänger becoming female wasn’t just harmless, it was a blessing.

First, as a girl, the doppelgänger wouldn’t be chasing after other women, and would remain wholeheartedly devoted to her. Vixens like Mu Ruoyi could only cry in despair.

Second, as a girl, the doppelgänger lost all competitiveness, obedient and docile like a sweet little darling.

‘This isn’t a curse at all, it’s fortune!’

Cheng Hongling was secretly excited. She had once considered restoring Qi Huang to his male consciousness, but now it seemed wholly unnecessary. Instead, she should carefully cultivate this doppelgänger into a little wife.

Yet in Qi Huang’s Sea of Consciousness, the three male souls were growing anxious. Something felt wrong, terribly wrong.

“Brothers, do you really think Big Brother hasn’t been completely assimilated? Would he… she(?) willingly let someone marry her, and as a woman at that?”

The Earthly Soul, Huang Di, voiced his concern.

“Of course not. Just look at her now, so delicate and dependent, utterly feminine! It’s a world apart from how she used to be.”

Huang Tian gave his judgment without hesitation.

“Then we have to save her! Don’t you remember what she told us before?”

Huang Ren’s tone was urgent.

“Mind your words, it’s not Big Brother anymore, it’s Big Sister!”

At that moment, the Heavenly Surge Soul, Huang Tian, interjected with a reminder.

“Yes, ever since the Essence Soul sister was completely assimilated, Big Sister has truly become a woman. Isn’t it normal that she’d act so demure now?”

The Linghui Po, Huang Ling, chimed in support.

“Yes, yes! The two of you are absolutely right.”

Huang Ren forced a smile, but when the two female souls walked away, he muttered in shock, “Assimilation is terrifying. They used to always oppose Big Br—Big Sister, but now they fawn over her like sycophants.”

“Exactly. To outsiders, it would look like they’re the truly loyal ones.”

Huang Tian muttered as well.

“Brothers, we must be careful with our words. If they overhear, they’ll come and cause trouble.”

Huang Tian quickly cautioned.

“Still, do you remember what Big Brother told us before assimilation? If there’s a chance, we must rescue her.”

Huang Di lowered his voice again.

“Rescue her? How? That assimilation force can’t be reversed. And who knows if she even wants to return to being male now?”

Huang Ren hesitated.

“Nonsense! She’s already more womanly than most women. Why would she want to be a man again?”

Huang Di rolled his eyes at him.

“So what, then? You’re saying we should defy her? Forget it. Better think about whether she’ll turn us into women first!”

Huang Ren shook his head helplessly.

At that, Huang Tian and Huang Di froze, suddenly realizing their own danger. Bitter expressions spread across their faces.

“You men dare to plot so loudly right in front of us? I’ll tell Big Sister! Then she’ll turn you all into women first.”

Huang Tian’s voice suddenly rang out behind them.

The three brothers shuddered so violently their very soul bodies nearly dispersed. Only now did they realize their situation wasn’t much better than before. The only difference was that the female souls’ “Big Sister” had changed from Cheng Ling to Qi Huang.

At this moment, Qi Huang had already emerged from the spatial ring with Cheng Hongling. Gazing at the devastated land, the two women felt as though they had lived through another lifetime.

“By the way, how is your body? That shard, still behaving itself?”

Qi Huang came back to her senses and asked.

“Don’t worry. Suppressing it is no problem for me.”

Cheng Hongling smiled with confidence.

“It’s all my fault… why did I foolishly give you such a thing?”

Qi Huang’s eyes reddened.

“It’s fine, really. Anything you give me, good or bad… I’ll cherish.”

Cheng Hongling quickly comforted her.

Qi Huang laughed through her tears. She had never known her main body could speak such sweet words. It was like the sun rising in the west.

“By the way, when did you learn to control that assimilation power?”

Cheng Hongling quickly changed the subject.

“When my Essence Soul was assimilated by Cheng Ling, my Life Soul was affected too, causing me to fall unconscious. But by chance, I entered a dream at that moment and obtained the method of using Dream-Weaving Immortal Qi!”

Qi Huang explained.

“So later on, you were just acting? You never actually became enslaved by her thoughts?”

Cheng Hongling frowned slightly.

Qi Huang’s expression turned aggrieved, her eyes glistening. “Is that really how you see me? Even if I were heartless, I wouldn’t stand by and watch you kill yourself as a joke! At that time, I really was a puppet. But when your body was damaged by that shard, somehow I regained a sliver of awareness. I seized that chance to erase her mental erosion.”

“So that’s it! Forgive me, my dear, it was I who wrongly accused you.”

Cheng Hongling reached out to wipe away Qi Huang’s tears, a strange satisfaction filling her heart. For once, it wasn’t Qi Huang taking care of her. Today, she had turned the tables.

Within Qi Huang’s Sea of Consciousness, the three male souls were dumbfounded. Their jaws dropped so wide a fist could fit inside. They could hardly believe it, the cold and aloof peerless fairy was coaxing her own doppelgänger. The world had truly turned upside down.

“Looking back, it seems that shard indirectly saved you. It disrupted Cheng Ling’s soul, which allowed you to regain some independence.”

Cheng Hongling speculated.

“That makes sense.”

Qi Huang thought briefly, then nodded in agreement.

“But there’s still one problem. Why did the Severed Immortal Sect’s leader capture me? And how did he know so many of our secrets?”

Cheng Hongling steadied herself and shifted the subject.

“Exactly. We must uncover the truth, or we’ll never sleep in peace again.”

Qi Huang’s expression grew grave. After some thought, she said, “Why don’t we capture a survivor and interrogate them?”

“Let’s try. Though I doubt it’ll work. Secrets of this level wouldn’t be entrusted to nobodies.”

Cheng Hongling reasoned.

Qi Huang agreed, it was sound logic. But at this point, they had no better option. Treating a dead horse as if it were alive, she released her Divine Sense to search for survivors.

Soon, she located a target. With a flicker of intent, she drew the man before them.

“Speak. Why does your leader want us captured?”

Cheng Hongling’s tone was icy.

“Who are you?”

The cultist asked in confusion.

Qi Huang shook her head helplessly. With a thought, she crushed him into dust.

They interrogated several other survivors in succession, but none knew the reason. Still, one piece of information did emerge: the Severed Immortal Sect had a Yin-Yang Eye bearer.

“A Yin-Yang Eye?”

Qi Huang and Cheng Hongling exchanged a glance, instantly realizing the issue.

“The leader must have sent the Yin-Yang Eye bearer to secretly spy on us. That’s how he learned so many secrets!”

Cheng Hongling concluded with certainty.

“Indeed. Since our secrets involve gender transformation, it makes sense he’d want to capture us for profit.”

Qi Huang echoed her.

“Then we must find that Yin-Yang Eye bearer immediately. If they escape, the consequences will be unthinkable.”

Cheng Hongling’s thoughts were clear as she made her decision.
