Chapter 1169: Chapter 641: Stupid Girl Gets Her Wish (Double-Length)
Chen Yi applied the Soul Searching technique on Xigu, gleaning some information from the fragments of the soul.
Xigu didn’t know much, but it was enough to piece together a rough outline. They came to Yulong Snow Mountain to harness the power of the "Heart’s Desire Pool" for a certain ritual.
The specifics were unknown to Xigu, but it seemed to be for reviving someone, regaining power, or even overthrowing the Divine Sect orthodoxy... As for who exactly, Chen Yi speculated it might be that heretical Saintess?
As for the pool, it seemed it could indeed fulfill wishes, requiring only sufficient secrets for the exchange...
Donggong Ruoshu emerged from the wind and snow, looking at the pool and said, "So this is the Heart’s Desire Pool you mentioned, doesn’t look particularly special..."
Chen Yi did not refute; he was not a Divine Sect heretic, nor could he be considered a member of the Divine Sect. There was no need to defend something with unknown origins, and besides, he didn’t have much desire for wish fulfillment.
After all, he only had the desire for a lower body, and not to mention, even just a Great Yin could barely keep him financially stable. If he added the Twin Yin Lords into the mix and his master could protect him, three women in one night would be considered a small fortune.
In contrast to him, Donggong Ruoshu was quite curious; it seemed this stupid girl had many desires.
She cupped her hands into a horn shape and shouted a loud "ah" towards the pool.
This childish act didn’t seem cute to Chen Yi, since the stupid girl was always so childish.
"Do you want to make a wish?" Chen Yi asked.
"Don’t you want to?"
"I’m still considering; if you want, you can help me test the water first." Chen Yi responded.
Donggong Ruoshu nodded; she had been pestering Chen Yi about the Heart’s Desire Pool, which annoyed him, so he briefly explained it to her.
Watching her eager expression, Chen Yi couldn’t help but advise, "Be careful with your wish; don’t make it too big. If something goes wrong, it might not be reversible."
Donggong Ruoshu nodded emphatically, immediately approaching the pool water, taking a deep breath, and revealing an extremely important secret,
"I’m not actually Donggong; I’m Chen, the Crown Princess Consort, who escaped marriage from Western Jin."
As soon as the words fell,
The Heart’s Desire Pool remained completely still; even the pool water didn’t ripple.
Donggong Ruoshu scratched her head in confusion, kicking near the edge, and wondered, "Is it broken?"
Chen Yi calmly said, "No."
Apart from herself, no one considered this a secret...
Upon hearing the pool wasn’t broken, Donggong Ruoshu tilted her head in thought, seeming to make a decision.
She leaned close to the rolling Dark Gold Pool Water, crouched down, moved her lips slightly, and silently spoke something to the pool; she used a secret transmission.
Chen Yi naturally couldn’t hear.
At the moment Donggong Ruoshu finished her secret transmission, the Dark Gold Pool Water suddenly surged violently, as if something at the bottom of the pool was awakened.
Countless fine dark gold symbols flickered within the viscous liquid, emitting an intense, strange scent of sulfur mixed with sandalwood.
Donggong Ruoshu’s face revealed a self-satisfied expression of "As I thought."
Chen Yi slightly raised his eyebrows, unsure of what wish this stupid girl might make.
Would it be to return to her body? Escape the distant marriage engagement? Or succeed her master’s legacy and become the next famed "Broken Swordman" across Jianghu?
Donggong Ruoshu stood by the pool, stretched out her arms, and shouted with excitement, "I wish to successfully seduce Chen Yi!"
Chen Yi’s eyes widened, his facial expression instantly froze.
