Wang Li looked at Ji Shengyao with her watery eyes. "That's more like it. Be a good girl and let me hit you."
Hearing the enchantress's smug voice, Ji Shengyao felt a bit stifled. Her face flushed as she shouted, "You're talking nonsense! Who's waiting for you to hit them? It's just that you hit too fast, and I didn't have time to dodge!"
"Regardless of the reason, I've found another one of your sensitive spots. If you're disobedient in the future, I'll spank your bottom. If you don't stick it out for me to hit on your own, I'll add five more hits for the first time, ten for the second, and so on."
Ji Shengyao thought about how she didn't even know where her own sensitive spots were, yet this enchantress had discovered them one by one. Seeing her smug look, she really wanted to slap this enchantress to death.
Being teased repeatedly, her anger flared. "You're really not human; you're a beast of the purest Bloodline! Just you wait. Once I capture you in turn, I'll show you how I'll avenge the humiliation you've put me through. When that time comes, forget calling me Master—it won't even matter if you call me ancestor!"
Wang Li smiled without a word. She kicked open the stone door in front of her, and it collapsed with a crash, debris scattering everywhere. Her vision suddenly opened up to a wide stone room with a simple stone coffin placed in its empty center.
Gusts of yin wind blew, and the candlesticks on the stone coffin were suddenly lit. Eerie blue flames flickered to life. Thumping sounds of knocking came from inside the stone coffin, accompanied by ear-piercing, shrill wails.
Finally, with a "bang," the coffin lid was sent flying, heading straight for Wang Li. Wang Li swung her silver sword, still in its scabbard, and smashed it against the lid, snapping it in two.
A translucent red ghost appeared before them. The silver sword in Wang Li's hand shone with a blinding golden light, then began to spin like a fan.
Letting go, the spinning silver sword acted like a golden chakram, directly chasing after the Ghost Bride in the red wedding dress.
This future Ghost King was also a tragic Soul. She had been forced by her parents to marry someone she had never met. By the time she arrived at the groom's house in her wedding dress, his entire family had been massacred.
To avoid being captured, she chose to take her own life. Little did she know that even then, the people of the Lianhun Sect would use a Soul Refining Lamp to draw her Soul here.
All these injustices transformed into her resentment. She wailed repeatedly, carrying a Soul-snatching terror.
With a flash, she appeared right in front of Wang Li. Wang Li pointed from a distance, and the Ghost Bride's entire body flashed with golden light, like a powerful spotlight, illuminating the entire stone room as bright as day. Her figure was instantly frozen in place.
The Ghost Bride continuously emitted black smoke amidst the golden light, letting out miserable screams. When everything settled, her eyes gradually regained their sanity.
"Thank you, benefactor, for setting me free."
Wang Li pointed, and the spinning silver sword floated behind the Ghost Bride. "The fact that you didn't die proves you have Karma protecting you. You can choose Reincarnation, or you can choose to go to my tower to continue your cultivation and Breakthrough to the Golden Core stage."
"I cannot die while my great vengeance remains unavenged. If the benefactor takes me in, I can do whatever is within my power."
Hearing the Ghost Bride's answer, Wang Li no longer hesitated. With a wave of her hand, the Ghost Bride was instantly transported to a towering tower over a hundred miles away.
Currently, with one ghost and four enchantresses, her Sect was not only sparsely populated but also had low cultivation Aptitude. "System, is there any way to improve Spiritual Root Aptitude?"
[That ancient Divine Rank Cultivation Technique, the "Extreme Yin and Joyful Union Scripture," has the effect of slowly improving Aptitude.]
"But this one is a ghost without a physical body; she can't exactly get intimate!"
[Then I'm out of ideas!]
"Useless. By the way, the male lead Lin Fan shouldn't have appeared here. This should be the Heavenly Dao's correction of the plot. Doesn't that prove you couldn't withstand the Heavenly Dao's will?"
[Boss, think about it. This world has two connected realms, the mortal world and the Immortal Realm, plus countless Small Worlds. It's nearly infinite. With so many cultivators and Immortals influenced by the rules of the Heavenly Dao, can you imagine how powerful this Heavenly Dao is?]
"Then hurry up! Or open the villain point display panel for me so I can decide how much I should annoy the male and female leads. Otherwise, I won't even know if the enchantress I'm playing is being provocative enough."
[I'm afraid you'll have to make a choice. Opening the villain points and the mall requires spending villain points; it's a package deal, and I can't change it. As for the items in the mall, as long as you don't buy in bulk, you can eat them like snacks if you want. Think about it.]
"Forget it then. Either way, I have to play this hussy. As long as the intensity is sufficient, it'll do."
The reward for clearing the second chapter was this blue-glowing Soul Refining Lamp. Wang Li waved her hand with the Soul Refining Lamp and appeared in a remote guest room inside the Cloud Smoke Tower. She used her Spiritual Qi to firmly Seal all the doors, windows, and walls.
She took out a Fusion Pill and handed it to Ji Shengyao. "Eat this Medicinal Pill and sit cross-legged. If the blue flame goes out, the Spiritual Qi will be greatly reduced, so we need to be quick!"
Knowing there was another Opportunity, Ji Shengyao didn't dare delay and sat cross-legged. As they sat face-to-face, Wang Li injected a burst of Spiritual Qi into the Soul Refining Lamp. The blue flame condensed into a straight line once more, heading directly for the space between Ji Shengyao's eyebrows.
Ji Shengyao was greatly shocked. Because of the massive injection of blue Spiritual Qi, the blue color within her seven-colored Spiritual Qi gradually widened into a small river, while the other colors were squeezed into thin lines.
She had never seen such a strange phenomenon even in the Holy Land's library. What shocked her even more was that her cultivation was growing rapidly. This enchantress was controlling Spiritual Qi to protect her Meridians, letting the Spiritual Qi grow wildly until it reached the fourth... no, fifth level before stopping!"
It turned out that one level a day was too conservative; today, I've directly increased by two levels!
Wang Li leaned back onto the bed in the Cloud Smoke Tower. Of course, she pulled off the quilt underneath and spread out her own sleeping bag. "I've gone through a lot of trouble and am exhausted for your sake today. Go pour me a cup of spirit wine!"
"Mm..."
Ji Shengyao walked to the coffee table, intentionally turning her back to Wang Li. Seeing the enchantress resting with her eyes closed, she knew the enchantress's Spiritual Qi was depleted. After a big battle and performing a Fusion with a supreme treasure for her, it would be strange if she wasn't exhausted.
Since she wasn't wearing handcuffs now, she took out the soul-confusing drug her Master had given her from her ring. This kind of thing could cloud one's mind and even arouse various desires like greed or lust, stimulating the body's instincts.
She poured the entire packet into the wine cup and stirred it with her fair finger.
Besides roaming all over my body, this enchantress doesn't seem too bad to me. She even gave me all the treasures and Medicinal Pills, allowing me to Breakthrough four levels in three days—it's unprecedented!
If I catch her and send her to the Sect, she'll wish she were dead. But if I let her go, she'll just harm others again. I might as well imprison her in a hidden place and punish her myself whenever I feel like it.
Wang Li let out a lazy yawn. "If you just stand there like a pole while I drink, I won't be able to get it down without some reward."
Thinking that this would be the last time the enchantress would be smug and the last time she herself would be disciplined, she steeled her heart for her grand escape plan. She climbed up, one hand steadily holding the spirit wine spiked with Soul-Confusing Powder, and the other lightly resting on Wang Li's shoulder. "Master... then tell me, what kind of reward do you want? I'll agree to any reward you ask for..."
