Chapter 331 - The Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon Physique, A Thousand Changes, Sister Can Become Anyone
After a moment of silence, the demoness sighed faintly in melancholy.
“Little Brother, when I entered your consciousness space that time, I sensed its aura. Can you give it to me? If you agree, I am willing to do anything for you...” She took a few steps closer to Gu Han, her tone laced with great temptation. “Anything you can imagine.”
Her cool aloofness carried a hint of seduction, tinged with a sorrow that made it impossible to tell whether her words were true or false, or to refuse them.
Gu Han sighed because he understood the demoness didn’t value Qian Ye’s soul power at all. What she truly wanted was that golden seal.
After a moment, he shook his head. “No.”
Not only was the secret of the golden seal too great, but it also concerned Gu Tian’s future path and housed Qian Ye’s lingering remnant of thought. No matter which aspect he considered, he couldn’t take out the golden seal.
Seemingly having expected it, the demoness’ expression didn’t change. “It’s fine. If you don’t want to give it, then don’t. Just don’t leave me here all alone, alright? Since you know about my physique, you should know just how capable I am...”
She swayed and transformed into Zhao Mengyou again. Then, with a beguiling smile, she swayed once more. The demoness had transformed into Xue Yu!
She gave Gu Han a light bow as her face flushed with shyness. “Satisfied, Young Master?”
Even her tone and demeanor were indistinguishable from the original Xue Yue!
She shifted again, transforming into Feng Xi. “And Junior Brother.”
Her expression was cool and aloof as a fierce aura swirled in her eyes. Aside from the inability to replicate the phoenix-embellished battle skirt, her tone and demeanor were also about ninety percent accurate.
Gu Han was profoundly shaken. This was the first time he had witnessed the power of the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon Physique. Indeed, a thousand changes was impossible to guard against. Even the people closest to these individuals probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
The demoness cast a sidelong glance with her phoenix-like eyes. “Junior Brother, got any wine?”
Gu Han instinctively judged. “Not quite right. Senior Sister has a unique temperament. You can’t imitate it.”
The demoness grew incredibly vexed, her tone soft and alluring, stirring his heart relentlessly. “Oh dear! Your senior sister is too frightening. I didn’t even dare get close to her...”
Gu Han’s heart pounded wildly. In terms of appearance, Feng Xi could be called the most beautiful, bar none. However, her usual aura was too strong and domineering. Almost no one would ever imagine that Feng Xi could ever display such girlish behavior. With this kind of Feng Xi, no one could resist her.
Just as he was lost in thought, someone’s timid voice reached his ears. “Young Master...”
Before his eyes appeared a young girl of exquisite beauty, with a hint of innocent foolishness in her eyes. It was Ah Sha!
With tears in her eyes, she said pitifully, “Please don’t abandon me, alright...?”
Even knowing the person before him wasn’t Ah Sha, Gu Han’s heart trembled, yet he couldn’t help but stare at her. Just one look... one look should be fine!
After a long moment, he forcibly suppressed his bitterness and slowly closed his eyes. “Change back. From now on, don’t you dare appear before me in her form!”
An invisible sword intent rose around him, shooting straight into the sky. Perhaps due to “Ah Sha’s” final words, his pace slowed considerably.
The demoness reverted to Liu Ying’s appearance and followed cheerfully. “Fine, fine, fine. From now on, whatever you want me to become, I’ll become. But you can only look. If you want to do anything else... Oh dear, if it’s you, I might reluctantly agree—”
“Shut up!”
The two continued forward, but they hadn’t gone far when they encountered another giant skeleton. It was extremely sturdy like pillars holding up the heavens.
Gu Han stopped in shock. “This is...”
The skeleton was also a thousand zhang long. Except for a seemingly extremely eerie mark on its brow, its upper body was identical to the human race. Its lower body was also similar, with four pairs of leg bones.
This creature had its head thrown back in a roaring posture. Though it had been dead for a long time, it seemed to retain the unwillingness and fury of its life, as well as a trace of an extremely cold aura.
As soon as he approached, Gu Han felt a sense of crisis. This feeling wasn’t unfamiliar. He seemed to have vaguely sensed it on Mei Yun, though thousands of times weaker.
Beside him, the demoness turned pale and tugged at his sleeve. “Don’t get any closer! It’s very dangerous!”
Gu Han hadn’t intended to approach anyway, but he was startled by her words. “Hmm? You know what this is?”
“It looks like the nether clan!”
He frowned deeply. “The nether clan? What is that?”
The demoness pulled him back with unease. “The nether clan were born countless years before the human race. Legend says they have eight legs and infinite power. Those skulls we saw earlier seem to be of the divine clan.
“Both are holy clans. The most terrifying thing is that the nether clan mastered the curse powers. With just a word, they could curse a supreme expert to death!”
Gu Han turned and left. Even though the nether clan had been dead for a long time, it seemed to have a trace of curse power remaining. If they stayed too long, who knew what kind of mutation it would trigger?
He was full of doubt about the divine clan, nether clan, divine power, and curse power. These two are too similar. Could there be some kind of connection?
As he thought about it, a soft warmth pressed against his arm. The demoness had taken advantage of his distraction to latch onto his arm again. She wore a triumphant smile. Gu Han’s face darkened and he pulled his arm away, but the sensation only grew stronger.
At that moment, he was completely unaware that a wisp of green smoke had risen from the ground they had just flown over. It trembled for an instant, then shot after them.
Gu Han forcefully quelled his restlessness. “Let go or else—hmm?”
His expression changed abruptly. He seemed to faintly hear a jumble of voices.
The next moment, the scene before him shifted. The ground, the skeleton—everything before him vanished. The two found themselves in a narrow and dilapidated street.
His heart sank, and he secretly went on guard. “What’s going on?”
The demoness immediately released his arm. She trembled uncontrollably, which was a stark contrast to her previous demeanor. A trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes. In a trance, she walked toward a dilapidated courtyard with only half a door remaining.
Suddenly, she seemed to see something. She stopped in her tracks, and tears streamed down her face.
The demoness murmured to herself, calling out, “Grandfather...”
“Grandfather!”
At the same time, a clear, young girl’s voice came from within the courtyard. Same word, yet one carried sorrow, while the other carried joy.
