Volume 11, Chapter 743 – Give Me Back My Little Wife

Huang Ren and Huang Jing began performing the Character-Shifting Art. The soul characters at their brows slowly detached, then flew toward each other.

Although Qi Huang knew the chance of failure was very small, her heart still rose into her throat. After all, this concerned her “manly” spirit. If it failed, she could only remain a delicate, dependent little bird for life.

Under Qi Huang’s hopeful gaze, the “Ren” character on Huang Ren’s head slowly embedded itself into Huang Jing’s brow, while the “Jing” character slowly settled on Huang Ren’s brow. Just like that, the two exchanged identities.

Qi Huang felt her vision blur for a moment. When it cleared again, she looked around to see faint light shining over the female souls. Their gauzy veils had grown almost transparent, revealing glimpses of rosy skin beneath, their fiery curves outlined vividly. The sight sent her blood surging, her feelings even stronger than before!

“Big Sister? How is it? Did it work?”

Huang Ren leaned over cautiously, asking. After all, he had sacrificed his Human Soul’s identity for this. If it failed, it would truly be infuriating.

“Don’t call me Big Sister! Call me Big Brother!”

Qi Huang waved her small hand, then planted her hands on her waist, laughing up toward the heavens: “Haha! I, Qi Huang, have returned in full force!”

“Congratulations, Big Brother! Congratulations!”

The three male souls also broke into joyous grins.

The female souls, however, pouted unhappily. Now that their Big Sister had turned into “Big Brother”, she naturally felt more distant from them.

Huang Jing was the exception. Her identity had changed from Essence Soul to Human Soul, and by the looks of it, she could change often in the future. This was an enormous gain. After all, the three souls did not disperse upon death, and were born a grade higher than the seven corporeal souls.

“Good brother, good sister. Your merits, I, your Big Brother, will not forget.”

Qi Huang said excitedly to the one soul and one essence.

“Of course! Of course!”

Huang Ren scratched his head with a silly grin. He knew well the strength of the Life Soul. To receive such recognition from a Big Brother like this was an honor.

Huang Jing also smiled sweetly. For her, this matter had indeed brought more benefit than harm.

Yet the six female souls still wore gloomy expressions, their pretty faces full of unwillingness.

“I’m going out to have some fun. Remember to swap back in six hours, or else we’ll all be doomed!”

Qi Huang gave a quick instruction, then impatiently left the Sea of Consciousness. She still had to see her fairy lover, and reclaim her position.

Qi Huang opened her eyes, stretched her limbs, and felt as though flames burned in her body, brimming with energy. Compared to her former self as a man, the vigor was no less. It was nothing like before, when she had been thoroughly assimilated… docile, resigned, and at ease with anything.

She thought for a moment, then pulled a set of men’s clothes from her spatial ring and dressed. Next, she removed all jewelry and tied her long hair into a high ponytail.

Glancing at her reflection in the mirror, she saw a refined young gentleman. His brows were delicate, his lashes a little long, his eyes larger, his lips smaller and redder… But so what? This was proof of her stance!

Qi Huang straightened her robes before stepping out the door.

Inside the main hall, Cheng Yuan and his wife were still whispering about her. They never expected her to stride out in men’s clothing, moving with tiger-like vigor. Both were stunned into silence.

“Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, this son-in-law greets you.”

Qi Huang cupped her hands in salute. Compared to being their adoptive daughter, she much preferred being their son-in-law. For the former carried neither legitimacy nor propriety.

The Cheng couple gaped, mouths wide open, completely lost as to what had happened.

Qi Huang ignored them, pushing open Cheng Hongling’s door. She feigned boldness and said: “Wife, come give your husband a kiss!”

Cheng Hongling blinked, then looked her up and down, struggling not to laugh. “Even if your parents think you’re girlish, there’s no need to mimic them. You’re a girl already. Forcing such masculinity just looks awkward.”

“What do you mean forcing it? I’m plenty masculine right now, more masculine than ever!”

Qi Huang strode up confidently, cupped Cheng Hongling’s lovely face, and pressed her lips down hard against her cherry-red lips, with the hunger of a baby who had been starved for three days.

Cheng Hongling was caught off guard, stunned for a while before coming to her senses. Blushing, she pushed Qi Huang away, scrutinizing this oddly dressed figure again.

“Don’t stare. I, Qi Huang, have returned! Haha…”

Qi Huang licked her lips, unsatisfied.

“That’s impossible! Assimilation of the Essence Soul is irreversible!”

Cheng Hongling protested bitterly.

“It’s true the assimilation is irreversible. But the Essence Soul can be temporarily replaced. Hehe…”

Qi Huang grinned smugly.

“Replaced?”

Cheng Hongling repeated the word carefully, then her eyes widened. “You used the Character-Shifting Art to replace your Essence Soul?”

“That’s right. Am I clever or not? I feel incredible now, totally capable of being a husband!”

Qi Huang’s face glowed with confidence.

“Are you insane? That’s a heaven-defying forbidden art! Aren’t you afraid of backlash?”

Cheng Hongling cried out.

“You say that, but when we cultivate the Doppelgänger Method, we used it plenty. When did we ever suffer backlash? Isn’t there a six-hour window?”

Qi Huang remained indifferent.

“I don’t care. Switch it back now. Give me back my little wife!”

Cheng Hongling burst out hysterically, charging forward and grabbing Qi Huang’s collar, shaking her hard.

“Wait, wait! After six hours your precious darling will return. No need to be so agitated!”

Qi Huang pleaded frantically.

“No! I want her back now.”

Cheng Hongling refused to relent.

“Let go, or don’t blame me for being rude!”

Qi Huang, exasperated, stretched her hand toward Cheng Hongling’s chest, grasping crudely. Waves surged at once.

“Think that’ll work? Touch me as much as you like, blink an eye if you must, but you still have to give back my little wife!”

Cheng Hongling’s expression did not change. Her body had already been seen and touched by Qi Huang. Through clothes, there was nothing new.

“So, your husband can’t control you anymore?”

Qi Huang, enraged and flustered, let her Divine Sense surge outward, pinning Cheng Hongling in place.

“Heh, let’s see how I deal with you!”

Qi Huang slapped her palm down on Cheng Hongling’s plump rear, proudly declaring: “Remember, I’m not your little wife. You are mine!”

Cheng Hongling’s cheeks flushed crimson with shame and fury. Her terrifying killing intent erupted, rushing at Qi Huang.

“You’re serious!”

Qi Huang paled in shock and turned to flee.

“I’m telling you, no matter what form you take, you’re still my little wife! Don’t dream of overturning it!”

Cheng Hongling shouted through clenched teeth, chasing after her.

Cheng Yuan and his wife exchanged a wry smile, pretending nothing had happened.

Time passed. Aside from turning into “not herself” at night, Qi Huang lived comfortably, having found a cheerful sparring partner in her quarrelsome lover.

But Qi Huang never lost herself to lust. When it was time to cultivate, she did so diligently. With the help of the Ghost Tomatoes, her Divine Sense steadily grew.

Three years flew by. After consuming millions of Ghost Tomatoes, at last, one night, she finally ascended into the Human-grade Immortal Realm.

Qi Huang felt reborn. Her Divine Sense surged outward, spreading until it encompassed the entire Lishui Planet. This meant that wherever she willed it, she could know of anything occurring in the world, and suppress any place with her Divine Sense.

At this moment, she finally experienced firsthand the power of an Immortal. She was convinced there were no more rivals for her in the cultivation world!

“Good! Excellent! Now, it’s time to act!”

Qi Huang’s lips curled upward. These past years, she had expanded her Golden Fate Blossom fields. Now the time had come to save the people of Huangtian County. If the Immortal Alliance tried to block her, she would settle both new and old debts at once.
