Reshaping My Sister-in-Law's Demon Core (True) (6k)
You Su's eyes widened, and she gasped for breath.
Tai Sui was arguably his biggest secret besides Allah, and he had deliberately kept it hidden from anyone except his junior sister.
But to everyone's surprise, this seemingly harmless Xiao Yu saw through his secret at a glance!
"Who exactly are you?" You Su's voice was as cold as ice.
"I am the Water God," the Little White Fish calmly swam in a circle. "The Tai Sui is a treasure even the Lord of Flesh and Blood and Blood covets. I didn't expect you to get it, kid. You'd better be careful. Although humans may not be able to detect it, that doesn't mean we can't."
We... are we referring to evil spirits?
Why are you telling me this?
You Su frowned slightly. Since the Tai Sui Power was so strong, why wasn't this little Little White Fish tempted? Instead, it came to remind him to protect himself.
"Hey, are you still going to save her or not?"
As the Little White Fish swam downstream, You Su noticed Ji Xueruo's face was twisted beyond recognition. The dark veins on her fair face were particularly glaring. Although she was still unconscious, she was still clenching her teeth and trying to hold on to something.
Because of their identical appearance, You Su seemed to see Ji Lingruo suffering in agony, which caused him excruciating pain as well.
"But... even if I possess the Tai Sui Power, how can I reshape her Demon Core?"
You Su remembered that a Demon Core had reappeared in his junior sister's vacant body, but that was a gift from Tai Sui, and he didn't know how Tai Sui had done it.
"The Tai Sui has merged into your body. Why not just take something from you and transfer it into her body?" The Little White Fish swayed its translucent tail in the air, casually suggesting a way to save the girl.
But this method sounded incredibly strange to You Su, reminding him of the time he and his junior sister cultivated together in the Black Coffin... Could it be that the medium through which the Tai Sui Power transferred into his junior sister's body relied on his Yang Essence?
Although Miss Ji looks exactly like her junior sister, she is not her junior sister after all... In fact, she is not only not her junior sister, but also her junior sister's older sister...
"If you want to get something from me, can I give her some blood to drink?"
Little White Fish rolled her eyes at You Su: "No way."
"Then I'll cut her a piece of meat to eat?"
The Little White Fish snorted twice, "You only have the Tai Sui Power, you're not a real Tai Sui!"
"That..."
"Stop! Although Tai Sui is an evil spirit of Flesh and Blood Type, it is extremely special. If we were to classify it, it wouldn't even belong to the Three Lords. It's only because its most powerful functions are concentrated in flesh Flesh and Blood Type. But in reality, it doesn't directly affect flesh and blood; it merges with your essence. So if you really want to cure her with your flesh and blood, she'll probably have to drain your blood and devour all your flesh." The Little White Fish glanced at You Su and added, "As for how you're going to share your essence with her, you can figure that out yourself."
Upon hearing this, You Su remained silent for a long time.
The origin is interpreted differently in different schools of cultivation. The most popular one is that there is Mystic Qi in the world and there is also Source Qi in the human body. This Source Qi is the origin that allows people to survive and cultivate.
The Source Qi is one, giving rise to Yin Yang Qi and Yin Yang Qi, which combine to form a third state, which manifests externally as human beings. This process of one, two, and three continues in a continuous cycle, giving birth to all things.
However, it is very difficult to mobilize the Source Qi, which is the source of life. The human body's instinctive mechanism is to protect its own source. The immortal seed is Immortal Method that touches the Source Qi, so even Void Glimpse Venerable suffered great losses when he used it.
However, You Su, being only at the Spirit Platform Realm, couldn't possibly unleash such a profound Technique Method as the Immortal Seed. It seemed that he only had that one path to take...
Yang Essence and Yin Essence are the materialized products of Yin Yang Qi in the human body, that is, the externalized products of the Source Qi.
But could he really do that kind of thing to Miss Ji?
This is not merely a choice between sacrificing a woman's chastity to save the other person; it's an ethical dilemma about whether or not to break taboos...
Seeing You Su remain silent, the Little White Fish grew somewhat impatient:
"Hey, if she's really not your little lover, then leave her alone and get out of here, okay? We need to escape quickly. I finally managed to get away, and you brought me back again. I'm so angry!"
"If we don't save her, will she stay like this forever?"
"Once divine blood enters her brain, it cannot be disobeyed. She will completely become a follower of that false god below, either becoming His food or serving as a vessel for His descent. Therefore, I advise you to leave her here to fend for herself, and not take her out to harm others."
Divine blood... does it refer to the substance flowing in those dark blood vessels?
At this moment, the divine blood had almost spread to Ji Xueruo's temples, and the situation was extremely urgent.
You Su suddenly took a deep breath, calmed all his emotions, and said solemnly:
How do you cut off a leg?
The Little White Fish circled him with great interest and said:
"It seems you've really taken a liking to her. That's more like it. You and I are the same kind of deity. In an era where gods were prevalent, if you saw a goddess you admired, you should just go and mate with her, right? Who's as hesitant as you? If you keep hesitating, she might have already had several rounds of offspring."
You Su twitched his lips. The 'god' that the Little White Fish mentioned was probably a powerful evil spirit in the eyes of humans. But Evil Demon couldn't call themselves Evil Demon, so they called themselves gods. He hadn't thought that evil spirits also needed to mate.
"If I'm not mistaken, your collision with our ship wasn't accidental; it was premeditated. You sensed the Tai Sui Power within me and discovered that the Evil Warding Token I wear could conceal your presence, preventing the Water God below from finding you. You knew that simply running away wouldn't get you very far. The reason you wanted to run, yet were willing to follow me back to Jade Ring Pool, is because you believed I could be of use to reverse the fate of that false god below."
You Su was unusually calm. There's no such thing as unprovoked kindness in this world. This Little White Fish seemed harmless, but its approach must have ulterior motives. He didn't want to get too involved with evil spirits, so he decided to be frank:
"So if you want my help, then hurry up and teach me how to heal her. Stop talking nonsense. I'm a human being, not your kind."
The Little White Fish seemed startled by You Su's sudden change in demeanor. Its clear fish eyes blinked, and the child's voice became much more serious, like that of a solemn little adult:
"Completely becoming a familiar isn't so simple. Her legs are tightly wrapped inside this fish tail, and divine blood is corroding them. But you can't slowly cut the fish flesh off piece by piece, because the fish body is connected to her senses, and no one can withstand that kind of excruciating pain. You might not even be able to cut her legs out completely before she dies from the pain."
As it spoke, it swam up to Ji Xueruo and suddenly burrowed under her skirt. It seemed to be able to control its body, switching between tangible and intangible forms. The black skirt was lifted up by it and fell to both sides, revealing a long and graceful fish tail underneath.
The Little White Fish clung to the fish's tail, swimming back and forth as if sensing something; the black and white contrasted sharply.
"Why do you humans have such straight legs? Her legs are perfectly pressed together, which is a problem... You only have one chance, because if you strike once, she will wake up in pain and won't be able to withstand a second strike. This strike must not only precisely pierce her legs, but also control the force perfectly—not an inch too much, not an inch too little. But that's not the hardest part. The hardest part is that your strike must be fluid, like killing a fish, cutting through her restraints in one smooth motion. Can you do it?"
You Su didn't speak, but instead drew his sword, the Ink Pine Sword, with a sharp, cold glint in its blade.
The Little White Fish swam away sensibly, saying:
"Don't rush to cut it. Try to feel around and find the location of her leg."
You Su, of course, wouldn't be presumptuous. He could only silently apologize and then place his hand on the fish's body, which was covered with smooth scales. Sure enough, he could feel some faint curves on it.
At the same time, a strange feeling welled up in his heart. Although he knew that this was not Miss Ji's real lower body, the soft touch and warmth were real.
He touched it only once before withdrawing his hand, as if to avoid suspicion, or perhaps because he was confident in his decision.
Upon seeing this, the Little White Fish exclaimed in surprise, "Do you chop people up every day? Are you sure you can figure it out after just one touch?"
You Su coughed lightly. "Time is of the essence, and I already know what I'm doing."
You Su was well aware of what was going on; he touched it once simply to confirm his suspicions.
These twin sisters not only have identical faces, but also identical legs. As for his junior sister's legs, he had touched them countless times when he was guiding the flow of Mystic Qi in her, and even without seeing them, he could imagine those two slender and straight jade legs.
"Hopefully, if I mess it up, it won't be me who feels the pain."
In Little White Fish's opinion, You Su's confidence was clearly unfounded.
You Su ignored it and instead apologized to the unconscious Ji Xueruo:
"Sorry."
He then reached out and loosened Ji Xueruo's belt, completely exposing half of her fish body.
It must be admitted that the fish body perfectly matched Ji Xueruo's appearance and figure, possessing a bewitching beauty, as if she were the most beautiful mermaid in the world.
You Su shook his head, focused his gaze on the fish's body, and aimed the tip of his sword at the point where Ji Xueruo's lower abdomen met the fish's body.
It was impossible for him to be nervous, but he had wielded his sword countless times, and he trusted the sword in his hand. He withdrew his Black Eyes, and what he saw was that familiar darkness again. For him, not being able to see was more conducive to his wholehearted use of the sword to its fullest potential than seeing.
You Su took two deep breaths, and his unfocused eyes seemed to burst with a sharp light. There was no sword clang, only the faint sound of flesh being cut.
The fish tail was cut in two in an instant, before any blood could even flow out. Like a dumpling that had split open, it revealed the mouthwatering filling inside—a pair of breathtakingly white legs, as white as jade powder, covered with a spiderweb of jet-black blood vessels.
Before You Su could even look closely, a torrent of dark divine blood gushed out, followed by Ji Xueruo's increasingly violent convulsions.
"Ah!!"
Ji Xueruo's face was contorted in agony, and her shrill wail echoed throughout the cave, like a sound from purgatory.
"Lift her legs out! She won't feel pain anymore!" Little White Fish anxiously directed from the side. "You can only hope she can endure it!"
With a determined heart, You Su reached into the cut fish. The fish was not yet completely separated from her body, and she directly touched the flesh inside the fish's belly that was not protected by skin. The pain was no less than drilling nails into Ji Xueruo's body.
Her stunningly beautiful face instantly contorted into a grotesque expression. Instinctively, she grabbed at everything around her. She could only find You Su's strong upper arm, and her five fingers, like eagle claws, dug themselves firmly into You Su's flesh.
You Su hesitated. He didn't know if it was cruel to Miss Ji. If she died in pain like this, he would be a sinner.
"Continue!"
Ji Xueruo convulsed, forcing out those two words through clenched teeth.
Looking at this strong young woman, You Su felt a deep respect for her. She knew that she was no longer a physically powerful cultivator, but a fragile mortal.
Without further hesitation, You Su grabbed Ji Xueruo by the knees and lifted her from the fish's body. Thousands of black, thread-like strands tugged at the girl's jade-like feet. His brows furrowed, and he roared:
"Hold on!"
Then he pulled hard, and all the things that were attached to him were torn off.
The sudden pain was like a surging wave, and Ji Xueruo was just a helpless leaf. Her screams had even lost their voice, and she could only silently vent her pain.
You Su hurriedly searched his Universe Bag for all the elixirs and medicines, and frantically fed them to Ji Xueruo.
The girl, utterly exhausted, raised her eyes; beneath the dense, dark veins was a pale complexion. She had no strength to make any other expression, only murmuring:
"Thanks..."
You Su gently covered her skirt, saying, "Don't speak. Focus on digesting these medicinal pills. The treatment isn't over yet."
Ji Xueruo very weak and prepared to close her eyes and sleep forever. But the weaker she was, the more she couldn't fall into a coma; once she relaxed her guard, she might never wake up again. You Su knew this, so he could only keep talking to her from the side:
"Miss Ji, please don't close your eyes, at least don't fall asleep. Listen to me, let me solemnly reintroduce myself to you. My name is You Su, You as in 'roaming,' and Su as in 'perilla.' I come from the Mandarin Sword Sect of Chuyun City. My junior sister is Ji Lingruo, who is your sister. Your full name is Ji Xueruo, right? My junior sister told me about it. Actually, I already guessed your identity..."
You Su rambled on and on, talking about all sorts of things, from south to north and back again, like a gossipy old woman.
Ji Xueruo's eyes were glazed over, her consciousness almost fading. She knew she couldn't fall asleep, but she really wanted to give up struggling. She was exhausted after holding on until now.
But every time she teetered on the brink of unconsciousness, it was this clear, youthful voice that woke her. She never imagined that at this critical moment, it would be this blind man, whom she had never shown any kindness, who would refuse to give up on her...
The pills finally started to have some effect; a warm current began to flow from her lower abdomen. With some strength restored, she began to hum a few times as she listened to You Su's ramblings, letting him know that she wasn't asleep.
Having received a response, You Su spoke even more enthusiastically. The girl's perseverance was beyond his imagination. Without any anesthesia, the action of cutting and gutting the fish was tantamount to tearing off her lower body, yet she had endured it.
You Su didn't know how long he kept muttering to himself, but he felt his mouth was about to dry out, and the Little White Fish had lost its divine power and returned to the Evil Warding Token.
Ji Xueruo's face had regained some color, and she couldn't bear to You Su continue to work so hard, so she interrupted him:
"Alright... stop talking. I'll consider your relationship with Lingruo."
You Su's face lit up with joy, "Miss Ji, you held on!"
Thanks to you.
"It's all thanks to Miss Ji herself," You Su praised sincerely, but immediately looked embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Ji Xueruo perceptively.
You Su paused for a moment before saying, "The poison in your body hasn't been completely cleared yet. We've only cut off your fish tail, but since the poison isn't gone, a new fish tail will grow back sooner or later. To completely remove the poison from your body, you have to rely on yourself."
Ji Xueruo raised her hand with difficulty, dark blood flowing from her fair wrist. She looked somewhat lost and dejected.
"Without cultivation, how could you possibly force out these filthy things... You must have a way, otherwise you wouldn't have said the treatment wasn't over yet."
"I have a way, but... Miss Ji needs to decide for herself whether or not to accept it."
Such matters naturally require the consent of both parties; You Su would never forcibly take someone else's innocence in order to save someone.
"If I don't accept it, then all the suffering I've endured will have been for nothing. Please speak freely."
She had finally been given this chance to live, and now she was being asked to die again? How could she possibly agree to that?
You Su turned to face Ji Xueruo, and although he couldn't see, he still tried to appear solemn:
"Cultivate with me."
As soon as she finished speaking, the scene fell into a deathly silence. After a long while Ji Xueruo exclaimed in surprise:
"What do you mean by that?!"
"Dual cultivation."
"With whom will I cultivate together?!"
"With me."
This time, Ji Xueruo could no longer bear it. She sat up abruptly, coughing as she angrily said:
"I'm only giving you one chance to explain! Otherwise, you'll never see my sister again!"
This was already the greatest leniency she could show towards You Su's series of rescue efforts.
"You have no Demon Core, so you have no cultivation. But I have a special physique, and my Yang Essence can help you reshape your Demon Core. The new Demon Core in my junior sister Ji Lingruo's body was born from dual cultivation with me. So if Miss Ji doesn't want to die, she can only cultivate with me now."
"Are you threatening me?! Is that why you've been trying so hard to spread my legs?! I just have the same face as Lingruo, but I'm not Lingruo!"
Ji Xueruo somewhat hysterical, her chest heaving with anger. She didn't doubt You Su's words, since they matched what Ji Lingruo had said.
"Miss Ji, please calm down. I am not threatening you. I am just informing you that whether you accept this or not is your personal choice. You Su is blind. She saved you not because she coveted your body, but because you are Lingruo's older sister. If Lingruo knew that I had stood by you and let you die, she would not forgive me, and my conscience would not be at peace."
"How can you live with yourself cultivating with your own dao companion's older sister?!"
"Dual cultivation is just one way to cure illness. Human life is of paramount importance, and I believe Miss Ji understands the principle that one should not avoid seeking medical treatment when ill. I can assure you that this will only happen once, and I will never entangle you in any way. I only love Lingruo."
"Aren't you going to promise me you definitely won't tell Lingruo?!"
"Actually, it's up to me whether you tell me or not; I have a clear conscience. But I don't want Miss Ji to affect my relationship with Lingruo because of this."
"You!"
Ji Xueruo furious. She had just accepted the blind man, but he immediately destroyed the good image she had built up.
"Then I'd rather die!"
You Su also fell silent; Ji Xueruo was far more resolute than he had imagined.
But could he really just watch Ji Xueruo die in front of him?
Putting aside her identity as Lingruo's sister, Ji Xueruo was using the alias Xiao Yu, kindly reminded her to leave before she even entered the pool; and after arriving at the Jade Ring Pool, she also expressed her intention to come to her if she needed anything; not to mention that just now, when she was dying, she sacrificed herself to ask Xiao Yu to bring her the news that there was something strange about this place.
"Miss Ji, you only have one life, and it's not easy for anyone to come into this world. You are the Serpent Empress, and you bear far more burdens than I do, but even a nobody like me has reasons not to die. Compared to life, many things are not that important. Only by living can your ambitions and ideals become reality. I have said all I have to say, and I respect Miss Ji's choice."
You Su gently advised her, but Ji Xueruo had already calmed down. Of course, she could tell that You Su was not that kind of person. At this moment, influenced by You Su's words, she was immersed in her own thoughts and did not answer You Su.
She also asked herself, "Am I really willing to die like this?"
If it were a hopeless situation like the one where she decided to perish together with Yu Zhen, she wouldn't be afraid of death. But now, a way out has appeared in this desperate situation, which makes her hesitate.
She had thought that risking everything to enter the pool alone would bring an opportunity to the snake clan, but if she were to choose death with her own hands, what kind of decision would that make?
Ji Xueruo shook her head, trying to shake off the dizziness brought on by the divine blood.
She hasn't even witnessed the snake clan grow stronger, nor has she seen her younger sister grow up. And that villain who raped and murdered her mother is still living a carefree life!
Ji Xueruo had always held herself in high esteem; how could she die so easily, so easily?
It's just a membrane; it won't be a stain on her reputation. When she reaches the summit and looks back on her reborn life, this experience will only add to her legend.
"Don't get any funny ideas! This is a one-time thing! I won't stop you and Lingruo, but we'll never see each other again!" Ji Xueruo bit her red lips and said angrily, "And another thing! Don't tell anyone! Lingruo can't tell either! Otherwise, I'll cut you into a thousand pieces!"
"As Lady Yorihime said."
"Is it... not done yet?"
"Almost there!"
"Mmm..."
"Did it work, Miss Ji? Quickly absorb it according to the Mnemonic I just taught you and refine it into Demon Core."
"Yes, it exists... but the Demon Core has only formed a shell."
"The fetal shell? Is it not enough?"
"Sigh, it's come to this... Let's continue."
"Then I'll have to offend you."
"Phew... Miss Ji, is it full?"
"It's full... it's really full."
I spent ages editing it but still couldn't post it, so I had to use dialogue instead. There'll also be a junior sister's perspective tomorrow.
