Beguiler Xiao Qian Has a Big Appetite

A moment later, inside the Chu Family's secret chamber.

Chu Ge lit two oil lamps with a flint, brightening the room, and then chose to control the Beguiler within the Dragon Bell.

As two wisps of Exotic Power were consumed.

A faint, ethereal shadow suddenly darted out from the Dragon Bell.

It was only about the size of an adult's palm. Upon leaving the Dragon Bell, it seemed timid, instantly shrinking to the corner of the opposite table.

If Chu Ge, as the controller, hadn't clearly sensed its presence, he would have thought the fleeting shadow was just an illusion.

"What the hell is that?"

Chu Ge frowned. He had expected the Beguiler to be large and terrifying, but it turned out to be such a small creature?

Through the Dragon Bell on his wrist, he could clearly feel the connection and control over the Beguiler under the table. He immediately commanded towards the table corner, "Come out!"

The shadow in the table corner trembled, then timidly extended a small shadow, quivering like an octopus.

Chu Ge squinted and saw it was a tiny, shadowy beautiful leg, as if it were wearing black stockings.

Following that.

A faint, shadow-like figure resembling a woman emerged from behind the table leg.

It appeared to be only palm-sized, timid and seemingly afraid of people, transparent like a shadow.

"You"

Chu Ge had just spoken.

The small, shadow-like figure gradually brightened, shimmering with specks of spiritual radiance like a rain of light, full of mystery.

She had crescent eyebrows, clear, bright almond eyes, red, luscious cherry lips, and rosy cheeks. Her form was graceful, her movements elegant.

Her small feet were delicate and cute. On her smooth forehead, two small antennae like green sprouts protruded.

Chu Ge was stunned. Even in his previous life, he had seen countless beauties enhanced by over a dozen levels of beauty filters, yet he couldn't help but inwardly praise the shadow girl's beauty.

She was just a bit too small.

It was hard to imagine that such a cute little thing could control a monstrous Flying Head Zombie to harm people. It was truly a combination of beauty and the beast.

"Beguiler, Xiao Qian, greets her new master."

The shadow girl timidly gazed at Chu Ge, her eyes fixed on him. She bowed from afar, conveying her respect. Although she made no sound, Chu Ge understood her intent.

"Your name is Xiao Qian? A Beguiler?"

Chu Ge crouched down, staring at the palm-sized girl, Xiao Qian, as he examined her.

This made the girl blush again, her pretty face turning pink. She intertwined her small hands, turned her face sideways, and cast a sidelong glance at Chu Ge, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Her antennae twitched, looking very nervous.

"Are you only this big? Have you always looked like this?"

Chu Ge asked curiously.

Xiao Qian shook her head at his words. Suddenly, her shadow-like body trembled, transforming into a form with a snake's body and a woman's head, but without limbs. She had two antennae on her forehead and stuck out her tongue, which flicked like a snake's.

This strange appearance strongly resembled the little snake demon from his textbooks before his transmigration, and she seemed to be in an incorporeal state. Clearly, she wasn't human, possibly some kind of exotic demon.

Chu Ge looked at the flickering snake tongue and was speechless. "You should change back to how you were before."

Seeing Xiao Qian quickly revert to her small girl form, he began to understand.

This little creature was probably very intelligent and would transform into a pleasing appearance to protect herself.

He extended his hand, then offered a small finger.

Xiao Qian seemed to understand his intent and extended her small arm, about the size of Chu Ge's little finger.

Her originally faint, shadowy body seemed to solidify. Her arm's skin was pale, and it touched his little finger.

Chu Ge felt a wave of coolness, as if his little finger had touched a piece of ice. His Qi and Blood even felt slightly sluggish.

At the same time, he immediately understood her response from Xiao Qian's eyes.

"Oh, you need Exotic Power Crystals to grow bigger? Or to use other abilities?"

"I don't have Exotic Power Crystals yet, and I don't know what they are. But I do have Exotic Power."

Chu Ge hesitated.

He recalled having already sent two wisps of Exotic Power to this little creature earlier, and now using her abilities still required more power.

This little thing was small, but her appetite was quite large.

Perhaps he should just control her and sacrifice her again.

After a moment of thought, he decided to test her abilities first.

He immediately channeled a wisp of Exotic Power through his finger.

"First, grow bigger for me to see."

Chu Ge commanded, as he preferred things to be larger.

This seemed to require no Exotic Power. Growing bigger or smaller was as simple for the shadow girl, Xiao Qian, as him extending his arm or leg.

Sure enough, after he spoke, Xiao Qian simply spun around on the spot, her body blurring like a shadow before suddenly growing taller, transforming into a small loli about 1.5 meters tall.

"Interesting," Chu Ge found it amusing.

He immediately had Xiao Qian demonstrate some of her other abilities.

However, Xiao Qian started dancing instead, her fingers pointing and steps moving, her posture graceful. Combined with her beautiful face and figure, it was flawless.

Chu Ge was a bit stunned.

What was this? Was she testing him or trying to please him with this?

Seeing that Chu Ge seemed displeased, Xiao Qian then made 'yī yā yī yā' sounds and waved her small fists, demonstrating her boxing skills.

Her stances were somewhat reminiscent of a thug's excited punches.

Chu Ge suppressed the urge to slap her and said in a low voice, "What is all this flashy nonsense? I want to see your innate abilities."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qian reacted, her pretty face flushing. She immediately began to showcase her various innate abilities.

Such as possession, phasing through walls, and enchantment.

When she possessed Chu Ge, he could clearly feel a chilling aura spreading through his limbs and bones.

According to Xiao Qian's explanation, because he was the controller, her possession was harmless.

But for an ordinary person, if she pounced on them, it would be like a ghost possessing them, leading to severe illness or even death.

Even some ordinary Martial Cultivators would be affected and controlled to varying degrees.

As for her ability to phase through walls, Xiao Qian could currently only pass through walls about ten feet thick.

Thicker walls would require a significant amount of Exotic Power.

Chu Ge experienced her enchantment ability and almost made a fool of himself.

Only after putting on the Porter Mask could he effectively avoid being enchanted by Xiao Qian.

"Not bad, worthy of being a rare breed. Xiao Qian, all your abilities are excellent and can be put to great use!"

In the Secret Chamber, Chu Ge praised Xiao Qian with satisfaction, having already dismissed the idea of sending her back to the Dragon Bell.

"Thank you, Master, for your praise!" Xiao Qian bowed shyly, her demeanor elegant and beautiful.

Chu Ge's eyes flickered. "Right, you mentioned a 'Spirit Infusion' ability earlier. What exactly is it? Show me."

"This... this requires Exotic Power," Xiao Qian said, lowering her head, a little embarrassed.

Chu Ge's face darkened, and the idea of sacrifice that had just been extinguished reignited.

This little brat had such a big appetite.

This wasn't infusing spirit for him; it was clearly asking him to infuse money!

So the abilities she had just displayed had already consumed a wisp of Exotic Power.

He rubbed his forehead, very unwilling to give it, wanting to get it for free, but the game clearly couldn't be played that way.

Meanwhile.

In You Province, within a deep canyon under the jurisdiction of Yunlong Prefecture, towering cliffs stood on three sides, their faces as sheer as if cut by knives. The cliffs were covered in moss like a green velvet carpet, making it very mysterious and serene.

This was one of the hidden mountain gate strongholds of the Corpse Herding Sect.

At this time, in a cave deep within the canyon, wisps of mist were rising.

Faintly visible in the mist, the sound of soul-stirring bells drifted with the wind.

Inside the cave, coffins were placed horizontally, memorial flags swayed, and paper money fluttered.

Parasols and paper banners came into view, as if a pallbearer holding a banner was shaking a bell, appearing beside the coffins.

Suddenly, the lid of one of the coffins began to bang, and a muffled, hoarse voice came from within.

"The Beguiler Xiao Qian."

"My divine spirit has sensed the existence of the Beguiler Xiao Qian. The last trace of Corpse King Blood within her... that is my blood. In the south, the south. That apostate is in the south!"

The figure shaking the bell immediately stopped. "The south? That apostate stole the Mysterious Spirit Flying Head Zombie back then. Later, the enforcers found and severely injured him in Northern Chizhou, after which he fled and his whereabouts became unknown. It's as if he's being sheltered and hidden by some force, and he's in the south?"

"No! This is bad!"

The speaker's expression changed. "The Beguiler Xiao Qian was sealed within the Mysterious Spirit Flying Head Zombie as its core control, but she was also constrained by the Flying Head Zombie.

You can sense her existence now, which proves she has escaped the Flying Head Zombie. Damn apostate Yu Xinghong!"

"It doesn't matter."

The coffin lid suddenly stopped vibrating, and a hoarse voice came from within. "Besides us Corpse Herders, no one can control the Beguiler Xiao Qian. But we must find her immediately!"

"The Great Zhou is in turmoil now, and our Corpse Herding Sect has not emerged from seclusion for a long time. Coming out now, who knows if it will be a blessing or a curse. Never mind, please grant me Corpse Blood Tracking!"
