Posture Is Wrong

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Just as Liusu was thinking about the grand things to come, she saw Cheng Cheng slowly walk over and take the unconscious Qin Yi from Ye Ling's arms.

Liusu Su perked up and immediately turned her attention to the idiots in front of her.

Ye Ling stretched out her arms, watching helplessly as Qin Yi was taken away from her embrace. She wanted to protest that her master was taking her brother away, but she seemed to have no right to do so... She mumbled a couple of times, then finally lowered her head and remained silent.

Cheng Cheng gently stroked Qin Yi's cheek and whispered, "Stop your healing techniques for now. The pills and Technique Method from our Demon City are less effective on humans, and using them haphazardly might backfire."

Is this your reason for taking my brother away from me? Ye Ling didn't ask the question aloud, but just sniffled. "Oh."

Cheng Cheng picked up Qin Yi with some difficulty and turned to walk towards her secret chamber for healing her Demon Body: "Qin Yi and I will be in seclusion for ten days. You will be keeping an eye on the Demon City during these days... These ten days are urgent. Qin Yi may not be able to heal me. Maybe he will be the only one to emerge from seclusion... At that time, the Demon City will be in your hands."

"Master..." Ye Ling said anxiously, "It's impossible, Master will definitely come out."

Cheng Cheng spoke softly, as if to herself, "Ye Ling, you're a mature Soaring Serpent now. You need to learn how to be a good demon king. If I were you, this Chenghuang sitting on the throne should have died long ago, whether for the throne or for... a man."

Ye Ling stared wide-eyed as Cheng Cheng disappeared underground, unable to utter a single word for a long Cheng Cheng.

Liusu scoffed.

That sounds nice, but I don't believe you really want Ye Ling to become like that.

The pills she taught Qin Yi to refine were primarily intended to cleanse the mental influence left by Dong Huazi's Demon Transformation Poisonous Mist, allowing Ye Ling to break free from Dong Huazi's influence. Because of its own Liusu, it added an extra layer of effect to the pills, suppressing not only the mental influence of the Demon Transformation Poisonous Mist but also the ferocity and cunning inherent in the Soaring Serpent's nature.

However, the quality of this pill was truly low, because Qin Yi had only just begun his training at that time. What level of pill could he possibly refine? The so-called suppression was merely concealment; the Soaring Serpent's true nature had not been "washed away," nor could it be. It still existed at the very core of her soul. Cheng Cheng, as a powerful demon of all phenomena, had the ability to awaken it; it was simply a matter of whether she was willing to do so.

In fact, if Ye Ling wanted to, she could try to awaken her true nature herself, or encounter any kind of stimulation, as a powerful demon in the Core Formation stage, without needing anyone else's help.

This Sultry Fox must have had some complicated feelings. No one wants to be on guard against their heir, but she was also worried about what would happen to the Demon City if she couldn't be saved—or rather, what would happen to the survival of the Demon Race.

A demon king whose vision is always focused on the big picture... whether it's learning from humans, aiming to unify the Three Kingdoms, or now, in his final purge before he thinks he's about to die.

Sometimes, Liusu would think that the nature of demons is to respect strength, and that kings suppress their entire race, often acting on their own authority. Such a visionary demon king doesn't appear easily; encountering such a leader is a sign of the race's impending prosperity. It's a rebound from the depths of human suppression of demons for ten thousand years after the Demon Calamity.

Even without Qin Yi's interference, this royal capital might not have died. Perhaps another stroke of luck would have saved her from this calamity. It's also possible that her death would have fully activated a terrifying Soaring Serpent, thus beginning a period of great upheaval for the world.

That's no longer important; Liusu knows that under the current circumstances, this Sultry Fox won't die.

Cheng Cheng carried Qin Yi to the soft couch in the center of the secret room, where the Demon Body Cheng Cheng lay, pale-faced, watching them. Cheng Cheng placed Qin Yi beside her Demon Body, and the Demon Body Cheng Cheng struggled to sit up, reaching out to take off Qin Yi's ring.

The monsters' elixirs and Technique Method were not very effective against Qin Yi's injuries. Cheng Cheng knew that Qin Yi had more suitable medicine in his own ring.

With a flick of her divine sense, she saw that all the Spirit Stone and Law Treasure vanished like air. The first thing she noticed was a bellyband, a Daoist Scarf, and a handkerchief that could be used as Flying Magical Artifact. The handkerchief had blood-red plum blossoms on it, and it seemed to be still fresh.

Cheng Cheng's expression turned somewhat strange, but she quickly regained her composure and muttered to herself, "There's too much clutter. Let me tidy it up for him."

As he spoke, the "miscellaneous items" were taken out and casually tossed into the corner.

"And this one, it looks shabby and not elegant at all."

A Wolf Tooth Club was also thrown into the corner and rolled over.

"..." Liusu, who had been inexplicably thrown into the corner, was furious.

Did the Wolf Tooth Club offend you? Why are you taking your jealousy of those things out on a perfectly honest Wolf Tooth Club?

You damned fox, you just wait... you'll pay for this!

"Alright, that's refreshing." Cheng Cheng took out a bottle of pills, intending to feed them to Qin Yi, but then she thought for a moment, chuckled, held the pills in her mouth herself, and bent down to feed them to him.

The Human Form Cheng Cheng next to her, Chengcheng, covered her mouth with her slender hand, seemingly sensing something. Then, her eyes darted around, and she suddenly leaned closer as well.

The two Cheng Cheng pushed the pill into Qin Yi's mouth simultaneously, one on each side.

Liusu:"..."

The pill dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth. Qin Yi unconsciously murmured a meaningless syllable. The two Cheng Cheng were startled and sat up straight, pretending to be well-behaved. But when they realized that Qin Yi was just unconscious, they patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief.

They then exchanged a glance and whispered, "It really does feel like there are two of us."

Liusu cursed silently inside the stick, "You only have ten days left to live, and you still have the leisure to experience the feeling of having two bodies? Take back your previous evaluation, you are a worthless visionary leader!"

Sultry Fox!

When Qin Yi woke up, he felt that something was wrong.

It wasn't that something was wrong with his body; he could feel that the right medicine was taking effect inside him. His injuries were just from a regular battle, neither fundamental nor any special injury, so he would recover quickly.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I opened my eyes, I felt that my injuries were almost completely healed.

What really felt wrong was that the Posture is wrong, the sensation was wrong...

Both of his shoulders were being used as pillows, and two identical Cheng Cheng were hugging him from either side, sleeping soundly with their heads resting on his shoulders.

Both Cheng Cheng's arms came over and wrapped around his waist, Cheng Cheng knees bent and pressed against his legs.

My whole body was trapped and I couldn't move.

Qin Yi stared blankly, holding his breath, completely unsure of what to do. He could sense that Cheng Cheng was extremely weak, both her human and demonic forms on the verge of collapse... yet she remained in this Cheng Cheng, making him afraid of causing problems if he tried to push her away.

Qin Yi stiffly turned his head, his eyes darting around before he spotted the Wolf Tooth Club in the corner.

Why is the Wolf Tooth Club there...?

And those things were covering the stick...

A Little Ghost floated on the Wolf Tooth Club, seemingly sitting in mid-air, looking at him with its arms crossed and expressionless.

Qin Yi's lips twitched slightly.

Liusu said casually, "Do you want me to do you a favor and tear all these things of yours up so you can be the Queen of the Demon City in An'an? It's actually not a bad idea."

Although he seemed nonchalant, Qin Yi inexplicably felt a dark cloud looming over him, a sense of crisis that could make one break out in a cold sweat.
